A Message from the Editor
Summer’s bounty, for ageless beauty
As Dr. Perricone's readers know, a diet rich in antioxidants is critical to beauty and health.
In our July newsletter, we focused on the virtues of antioxidant-rich extra virgin olive oil and its unique benefits—both topically, for flawless skin, and as an ideal food choice to enhance health and beauty.
We also promised to deliver ideas for delicious anti-aging salads—drizzled, ideally, with an olive oil based dressing—and you'll find them in Dr. Perricone's "Salad Days" article, below.
Applying topical antioxidants Night and Day will also greatly contribute to picture perfect skin. For an incomparable Day Treatment we recommend antioxidant-rich Vitamin C Ester Amine Complex Face Lift with DMAE to help diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while increasing the appearance of natural "lift" to the face and jaw line. With each order of this Perricone power product you will receive a FREE travel size of Alpha Lipoic Acid Evening Facial Emollient as our gift to you. This dynamic duo will work 'round the clock to deliver new radiance and firmness to face, jaw line and neck, as well as a more tightened and toned appearance.
And remember, to spend the rest of your summer looking and feeling your best, follow Dr. Perricone's salad suggestions!
Until next time, Anne Sellaro Executive Editor

Salad Days: Relish a rainbow of fresh anti-aging fare
Colorful produce offers potent antioxidant powers
by Nicholas V. Perricone, M.D.
Summer’s long, hot, sunny days make cool, crisp dark green leafy salads an ideal food choice—especially when teamed with a quality protein such as wild Alaskan salmon or halibut. (I enjoy them best broiled or grilled.)
When you’re making summer salads—fruit and/or vegetable—include all the colors of the rainbow for a quick, delicious, powerfully anti-aging, skin-protective meal:
Colorful fruits and vegetables boast rare health and beauty benefits:
- Reduced risk of common cancers.
- Promote optimal memory function; reduce Alzheimer’s risk.
- Boost antioxidant intake to reduce "hidden" inflammation and slow external and internal aging.
- Enhanced cardiovascular health; reduced risk of diabetes and stroke.
- Extended "health-span": you may not live longer, but you will likely live in good health longer.
Salads: Grounded in fresh green hues
Green lettuces, vegetables, and fruits make a great beginning, offering high levels of healthful fiber and "phytonutrients" (natural plant chemicals with preventive health powers).
Use dark green leafy greens for your salad, along with ...

Breakthrough on facial breakouts?
The myth of microbes and acne: bacterial gene map offers no quick cure
by Nicholas V. Perricone, M.D.
Late last month, many newspapers reported that European researchers succeeded in mapping the genetic structure of the bacteria (Propionibacterium acnes) present in acne sufferers.
While this achievement is laudable, the study authors admit that it may be many years before their genetic map leads to new treatments. They found that the microbe possesses multiple metabolic pathways: a property that enables it to grow under diverse skin conditions, and makes it hard to eradicate.
The new study found the enzyme-controlling DNA in acne microbes that permits them to stick to skin cells and degrade skin tissue. And, as lead author Dr. Holger Bruggemann told Reuters Health, "When the bacterium degrades the human skin the inflammation kicks in."
Contrary to conventional scientific wisdom, I have long identified inflammation as the initial and key process underlying acne’s attack on skin. And this news bulletin is another case of researchers ...
