We asked you which ingredient was NOT currently said to provide anti-aging benefits and your responses were all over the place. Here’s the answers. Were you right?

    1. Frog Skin - True

    27% of you thought that scientists were not using frog skin for anti-aging properties but unfortunately, you were wrong. This article about bullfrog skin containing antioxidants suggests that it may have an anti-aging effect. I’m not a big fan of harvesting amphibians for cosmetics so I can’t encourage it’s use.

    2. Cactus Spines - Fake

    Only 17% of you thought this was the fake but it was. There is no raw material company selling cactus spines as a natural, anti-aging ingredient. However, based on the Beauty Brains community of poll answerers, maybe they should. Most people believe that this is a reasonable ingredient to give an anti-aging effect.

3. Apple Stem Cells - True

This one tricked the most people. 34% of you thought this was the fake but it’s real. A company name Mibelle Biochemistry has introduced an anti-aging ingredient based on apple stem cells. Who knew apples had stem cells too?

    4. Snake Venom - True

    22% of you thought this one was fake but you were mistaken. Indeed, one cosmetic raw material company is marketing Syn-ake, a peptide derived from snake venom. I remain skeptical about this one as it is too conveniently similar to botox.

    如果我們問你時下哪些物質(zhì)不被視為能夠抗衰老，你的回答可能就如同下面所列出的一樣。以下就是答案，你對了嗎？

    1.青蛙皮膚——正確

    你們中27%的人認(rèn)為科學(xué)家們不會用青蛙的皮膚來抵抗衰老，但不幸的是，你們錯了。這篇關(guān)于牛蛙的皮膚含有抗氧化劑的文章表明它可能有抵抗衰老的功效。我不是一個熱衷于使用兩棲動物來美膚的人能，所以我不敢使用這一方法。

    2.仙人掌的棘——錯誤

    你們中只有17%的人認(rèn)為這一說法是錯誤的，但它的確不正確。沒有一個原材料公司會將仙人掌棘作為自然的抗衰老的物質(zhì)出售。然而，根據(jù)美麗大腦社團(tuán)所作的投票結(jié)果顯示，這些公司可能應(yīng)該出售仙人掌棘，因?yàn)槎鄶?shù)人認(rèn)為它是一種有抗衰老功效的物質(zhì)。

    3.蘋果核的細(xì)胞——正確

    這個小把戲欺騙了你們中的大部分人。你們中的34%認(rèn)為這是錯誤的，但其實(shí)這個說法是正確的。一個名為Mibelle生物化學(xué)的公司最近就引進(jìn)了一種以蘋果核的細(xì)胞為原料的抗衰老物質(zhì)。

    4.蛇的毒液——正確

    你們中22%的人認(rèn)為這是錯誤的，但并非如此。事實(shí)上，一個化妝品的原材料公司正在銷售一種名為Syn-ake的產(chǎn)品，其中的肽元素就是從蛇的毒液中提取的。我對此仍持有懷疑態(tài)度，因?yàn)檫@實(shí)在是和肉毒桿菌毒素太相像了。
