Anti-Aging

Paper Summary:

This paper reviews and discusses the anti-aging product Relastin Skin Revitalizer. According to the paper, this product is designed to promote self-esteem and confidence through a look of youth, but the manufacturers neglect the important fact that age is not simply a visual concept, but a physiological fact of life.

From the Paper:

"As McCarthy points out, there are numerous things human beings do to fight the signs of aging. From taking melatonin, DHEA, antioxidants, and other vitamins to using anti-wrinkle creams and hair restoration products, humans spend vast amounts of money on trying to slow aging (McCarthy, 549). But as Hayflick notes, all cells flourish and divide as living cells for a specific period of time, but eventually, these processes stop and the cells die. The only cells in the human body to continue reproducing endlessly are cancer cells (McCarthy, 547). Thus, regardless of what products one uses to slow the signs of aging, the aging process continues without fail."
