Why you shouldn’t care that the power of DNA is in a jar for cosmetics near you

why-you-shouldnt-care-that-the-power-of-dna-is-in-a-jar-for-cosmetics-near-you<p>Somewhere, a woman is ecstatically shelling out $125 for what she believes is the product of her dreams, a 1 oz jar for cosmetics full of what claims to be a personal care product that can heal anything, even damaged DNA. Read the five reasons why you should pass on this trend.</p> <p>First off, I don't claim to be a doctor, a cosmetics scientist or most importantly, a geneticist. I'm just a lotions and potions lady that happens to have some common sense. And when it comes to miracle DNA cosmetic goods, it's time for all of us to get reacquainted with our intellect, or as Dr. Phil would say, get real. <b> </b></p> <p><b>Scary fact # 5 &#8211; People actually believe these claims </b><br /> Can a jar for cosmetics hold a product capable of altering your genetic code? This first point is simple, practice critical thinking. People suffer with abnormalities brought on through genetics that can't be cured, yet a super-duper face cream won't only tone your skin, but alter your DNA, in essence reprogram your body to only promote firm skin. Does that make sense to you? Didn't think so.</p> <p><b>Scary fact # 4 &#8211; Last time I checked, DNA is more than skin deep </b><br /> This isn't like putting a band-aid on a boo-boo. We're talking about DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid, the genetic code that not only determined your eye color, but also your ability to roll your Rs when singing arriba, arriba every Saturday night. This material isn't covered in cosmetology school; it might even take Mensa a few meetings to get through. Effective use of DNA based stem cells in products could happen, one day. As of now, development and continued research remains. <b> </b><br /> <b>Scary fact # 3 &#8211; Perfected skin over medical advancements? </b><br /> Skin upkeep is serious business. Yet, I can't help but compare the thought of having eternally radiant skin to the idea of saving an innocent, little girl from losing a lot more than her hair to cancer. Medical treatments for different kinds of cancer, neuromuscular diseases and many other afflictions could stand to be improved through stem cell developments. As much as we all love a good personal care product, if we had the ability to harness the power of DNA would skin care be the first challenge? <b> </b></p> <p><b>Scary fact # 2 -The stem cell controversy</b><br /> We've witnessed a mobile phone evolution. These gadgets allow people to communicate through countless methods via one handheld device. The same could be said for the evolution of goods to be packaged in a jar for cosmetics. They're not capable of changing your skin color at this point, but with the further development of stem cells, who knows what is possible. That is, if we, as the human race decide to embrace the implied moral issues. It's a touchy subject, not everyone is onboard just yet. <b> </b></p> <p><b>Scary fact # 1 &#8211; The beauty of healthy aging: real or nonexistent?</b><br /> No one dreams of having bags under their eyes that are misjudged as cheeks. Instead of spending your life petrified to find crow's feet, enjoy every moment, and encourage your customers to live big, preserving skin through dutiful care.</p> <p>For the time being leave the glam of DNA repair behind you. Forget dreams of matching adenine and thymine together with hopes it will take ten years off your face. Set yourself or your company up for skin success by taking a jar for cosmetics and filling it with proven ingredients designed to moisturize, enhance and rejuvenate the skin. <b> </b></p> <p><b>Every wrinkle tells a story.
