Oshrit and Leah Nelson, 39 and 15, live in Even Yehuda; Leah is flying to New York

Hey, where are you flying to?

Leah: Im going to New York, I live there. My father lives there, and so do my grandfather and grandmother.

Oshrit: We decided to come to Israel because of the coronavirus and also because my father doesnt feel so well. We got here a month and a half ago, and Leah started to go to the American School in Even Yehuda. But we didnt know that everything here would be done on Zoom. And Leah really missed New York, so I decided to send her there for the period of the lockdown. Shes going for three weeks.

So youre planning to come back?

Oshrit: Youd better.

Leah: Yes, for a year.

How do you feel about the move to Israel?

Leah: I dont want to make the move. But I have some good friends here, all of them Americans, so we have things in common. Where we live, in Even Yehuda, its not so bad. But I still want to go back to New York after a year here.

Oshrit, when did you leave Israel?

We've got more newsletters we think you'll find interesting.

Please try again later.

The email address you have provided is already registered.

After the army. I was sent by the Jewish Agency to be a summer camp counselor [in the United States]. I didnt have money, so I did it that way. Once I was there, I received a six-month visa and I never came back.

Did you know you wouldnt come back?

Yes. People say Im strong; I say Im weak. Everyone asked me how I could move to New York with $1,000 in my pocket and not return. I would say to my siblings, Youre strong for staying. This country was too tough for me from childhood. When I got to New York I felt immediately like I belonged, I immediately felt a type of orderliness. What you do is what you get, with no games. In Israel you never know what youll get. And thats frustrating.

Why did you decide to return, after all?

My husband is Jewish and he always wanted to make aliyah. We left the United States, he sold everything the house, the car he closed the business. And they wouldnt let him enter Israel. He was in shock, he didnt believe that Israel wouldnt let him in, they have rejected his request five times already with no explanation. Hes stranded now outside Israel, and for four months theyve been refusing to let him enter. Hes Jewish, were married, and thats still not enough.

Would you have returned even if there were no coronavirus?

I came for my mother and father, I knew I had to. It was a hard decision, and the crisis actually made it easier, because there was chaos in New York. Leahs school is very democratic, so everyone supported Black Lives Matter.

Leah: I also supported them very much.

Oshrit: In New York you cant say you dont support BLM or that you support Trump. I support Trump. In her school if you like Trump, people wont talk to you.

Leah: I hate Trump, I despise him.

Whats it like when there are those kinds of differences between mother and daughter?

Leah: All my friends follow what their parents say My mom doesnt like that, so I dont, either. But I have my own opinions.

Oshrit: Shes a kid, so I think shes judging him [Trump] according to his persona.

Leah: No, I watch the news, I read articles, and thats my opinion. And its not comfortable for me to talk about politics.

Oshrit: New Yorkers dont feel comfortable talking about politics. I thought that Israel would help develop her a little, because Israelis are more open to talking about politics. I wanted her to get something of that Israeli approach.

Leah, whats so special about your school?

Its called LaGuardia, and its an arts school. Ive sung since I was very young. I like to sing pop, but I was accepted at the school to sing opera.

Who do you like listening to?

I used to be into Selena Gomez, but not any more.

Would you like to be a singer?

The truth is I would really like to be a fashion designer. If I learn how to sew, I think I could be really good at that.

Oshrit: Shes changed. She was really locked into singing and acting, and she matured and came out of it.

Leah: I didnt come out of it, but I feel that its a childhood dream and that its really hard to do it.

George and Judith Eshed, 72 and 65; live in Ramat Hasharon, arriving from Thessaloniki

Hello, where are you coming from?

George: We were at an amazing resort in Greece, whose name were not divulging, so people wont go there. Its a place weve known for a long time.

Judith: We work hard during the year, and we saw that it was possible to go to Greece. The service there is incredible. They really spoil you and there are five gourmet restaurants. You sit by the sea with a towel and a book, and someone comes to ask which cocktail or coffee you want.

Amazing. And what do you do?

Judith: Im a lawyer. I have my own firm and I deal with all areas of civil and commercial law. These days Im doing a lot of arbitration and mediation.

George: Im also a lawyer originally, but I hardly engage in practice because of my advanced age. These days Im in the sports business. I was Israeli champion in full-contact karate for many years. Thats the most physical type of karate in the major championships you lose by a knockout.

What does a fight like that look like?

George: Im quiet in fights, cool and calm, I dont get agitated. On a competition day, you might do six fights in a row, and theres serious pressure.

Judith: But unlike some people, who shout, he never utters a sound in fights.

Whats the secret of winning?

George: Focus and self-discipline. The secret of life is self-discipline.

How did you get started in karate?

George: Im an athlete from birth. I was into soccer I played for Hapoel Ramat Gan when they were at the height of their glory. I wasnt an outstanding player, but I was in the first five for a good few years. When I was young I also swam; today Im an enthusiastic mountain bike rider.

Judith: George is a killer and a healer. He also does acupuncture. Hes a very strong and supportive person.

Isnt there a contradiction between violence and gentleness?

George: I dont think there is. Karate in itself is not violent. As a boy, I got into fights every day, in an immigrants neighborhood, but over the past 30 years I dont think Ive been in one.

Whats your specialty in Chinese medicine?

George: I have a first degree and a second degree in Chinese medicine. I engage in something very specific: in treating side effects of chemotherapy. I had experience in it because of a relative who fell ill with cancer. Now, during the coronavirus pandemic, Im hardly doing it, because it involves close contact with people who have a weak immune system. People like that dont easily leave the house.

Can I ask how you met?

George: We met on a plane. I was a security guard for El Al, and Judith was a flight attendant.

Did you enjoy being a flight attendant?

Judith: It was very hard to be accepted then; it was a great honor. The trips abroad were like winning the lottery, it was glamorous, fun, and we also made a lot of money. The flights were very pampering because they involved layovers flights to South Africa for a week, to New York for five days. I was a law student at the time, so it suited me. But it was temporary, I never thought I would stay on as a flight attendant.

What are your plans for the future? Do you plan to slow down anytime?

Judith: I think work helps to preserve vitality. Coping with work is anti-aging, anti-stagnation. But the dosage has to be different. When I was young, I worked very hard, and today I am looking for a situation where I do what I need to at work, but also dont knock myself out. But I dont see myself sitting around and only cooking meals for the grandchildren. That doesnt suit me.

George: Im in favor of retirement, but I dont think that mean having to stop being active. Theres a great deal to do and much to contribute, including volunteer work. For 15 years I taught anatomy for high school dance majors, and I will go on being active. I have no doubt of that, but you need more leisure time.

Judith: Were planning to travel, to visit the airport a lot.

'My Jewish husband sold everything in order to move to Israel, but Israel won't let him in' - Haaretz.com

Walk into any drugstore in America and youll find dozens of so-called anti-aging products, from beauty creams and under-eye serums to face masks and hair dyes. Of course, none of these things will actually stop aging. They just appeal to human vanity. In reality, if youre truly concerned about what will happen to you as you grow older, you should worry less about reducing signs of aging on the outside and pay more attention to aging better on the inside. Thats why a groundbreaking company called Elysium Health created two incredibly advanced products specifically designed to support the healthy cellular aging process.

Founded by Dr. Leo Guarente, director of the Glenn Center for Biology of Aging Research at MIT, Elysium Health has a scientific advisory board that includes eight Nobel Laureates. Their goal is to use the latest scientific advancements in the field of cellular aging to create products that can actually improve peoples lives today.

Elysiums flagship products, Elysium Basis and Elysium Indexare based on two major discoveries about how we age at the cellular level.

Ready to talk science? Lets talk science.

The first major breakthrough in cellular aging concerns the role played by a molecule called nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, or NAD+. This molecule performs two essential jobs in the human body without which life would not be possible. First, NAD+ plays a key role in metabolism by helping to turn nutrients into cellular energy. Second, it functions as a helper molecule for special proteins called sirtuins. Sometimes called the guardians of the genome, sirtuins play a vital role in overall health, but they can only do their job with the help of NAD+.

Unfortunately, scientists have discovered that natural levels of NAD+ decline as we get older, which is the primary cause of cellular aging. However, scientists have also discovered that NAD+ levels can be increased through supplementation of nicotinamide riboside (a highly efficient precursor to NAD+) and pterostilbene (a powerful polyphenol created by plants).

Thats where Elysium Basis comes in.

To address the problem of declining NAD+ levels, Elysiums team of all-star scientists developed Basis, a patent-pending formulation of crystalline nicotinamide riboside, which the human body converts into NAD+, and pterostilbene.

In a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial, Basis was shown to increase NAD+ levels by an average of 40 percent safely and sustainably. These elevated NAD+ levels help support cellular energy and metabolism, maintain healthy DNA, activate sirtuins, and support healthy cellular aging.

Each bottle of Basis has 60 capsules. Elysium Health recommends two capsules every morning, with or without food.

The second major breakthrough in the field of cellular aging concerns the field of epigenetics, which is the study of changes in organisms caused by the modification of gene expression. As we age, chemical compounds get attached to our genes, altering how they are expressed. When epigenetic compounds attach to DNA, they are said to have marked the genome. These marks do not change the sequence of the DNA, but they do change the way cells read the DNAs instructions.

One of the most common epigenetic marks is called DNA methylation. In 2018 Dr. Morgan Levine, a professor at Yale School of Medicine and Elysiums Bioinformatics Advisor, developed a process that calculates biological age by looking at specific sites along the genome to see what proportion of cells are marked by DNA methylation.

That brings us to Elysium Index.

To help people better understand how fast they are aging, scientists at Elysium Health developed the Index biological age test, which analyzes over 100,000 sites of DNA methylation to calculate your biological age.

When you order the Index biological age test, Elysium sends you a simple at-home saliva collection kit. Once you send your sample back, Elysium extracts your DNA, loads it onto a specially designed DNA sequencing chip, and analyzes it using next-generation technology called Algorithmic Platform for Epigenetic Examination, or APEX. This sophisticated system scans your epigenome for DNA methylation biomarkers, which it then uses to calculate your biological age.

Once the analysis process is complete, Elysium sends you a complete report, which includes specific health, diet, and lifestyle recommendations designed to help you age better.

Nothing can stop the cellular aging process. But thanks to scientists at Elysium Health, we can be proactive and provide support for healthy cellular aging. And right now, when you subscribe to a one year supply of Basis, you can get 40-percent off the Index biological age test. So dont let this opportunity to take control of your cellular health pass you by. Click here to see what Elysium Health has to offer.

Table of Contents:Acne-Fighters + Exfoliators | Anti-Agers | Hydrators + Skin Soothers |Skin Oils

When it comes to skincare, it seems like the number of serum, face cream, and oil offerings (and claims) on store shelves are ever-growing because they are. In 2019, skincare brought in nearly $5.9 billion in sales and outpaced makeup growth by 12%, according to the NPD Group, a market research company. And according to Google Trends, searches for "skincare" reached an all-time high in January 2020, and that popularity has only continued to spike through this year.

The skincare boom has understandably brought an onslaught of new ingredients, each sounding better than the next (and some sounding downright insane). In a fast-changing world of vampire facials and snail mucin face masks, the question is: Which ingredients are actually worth the hype, and which will work for your lifestyle, your skin type, and your skincare goals?

To demystify the endless catalog, we consulted our Good Housekeeping Institute Beauty Lab chemists and scientists and over 20 top dermatologists from New York City to San Francisco, Miami, and back again. Of the best and buzziest, we've broken down exactly what you need to know, including the ingredients that play nice together (and which ones don't), the best actives for staving off acne, anti-aging must-haves to brighten and resurface skin, soothing, hydrating fixes for sensitive skin, and go-to products for every skin type.

Through the peaks and valleys of skincare trends, these are the tried-and-true ingredients that have stood the test of time and are worth adding to your skincare regimen, plus how to use them:

If you struggle with persistent acne or have oily skin, these clarifying ingredients are for you. They help to mattify shine, degunk pores, and slough away dead skin and bacteria for a clearer, brighter complexion that's free of whiteheads, blackheads, and the rest. Start slow with these powerful ingredients and avoid using in tandem off the bat.

Azelaic Acid

What it does: Produced by a naturally occurring yeast on skin, this exfoliating ingredient reduces hyperpigmentation, fades dark spots, and kills acne- and rosacea-causing bacteria.

Who it's for: All skin types, but particularly acne-prone skin.

How to use it: Twice a day (morning and night) or once every other day for sensitive skin.

FYI: Start slow azelaic acid may cause drying or peeling on application sites.

READ MORE

Beta-Hydroxy Acids (BHAs)

What it does: BHAs are oil-soluble acids that plunge deep into pores to target oil glands and decrease oil secretion

Who it's for: Acne-prone and oily skin, since it decreases oil secretion and nixes dead skin to prevent pimples.

How to use it: Begin with twice-weekly use at a low concentration, and increase potency and frequency as tolerated.

FYI: While it's a star on oily skin, it may cause flaking at first, particularly on dry or sensitive skin.

READ MORE

Salicylic Acid

What it does: A BHA best known for its exfoliating, pore-cleaning, and bacteria-fighting powers.

Who it's for: People with oily and acne-prone skin, particularly those who want to treat and prevent whiteheads and blackheads.

How to use it: Apply as a spot treatment or swap in a salicylic acid-laced face cleanser once or twice per week, increasing frequency as tolerated.

FYI: This acne-fighting powerhouse may irritate sensitive skin or parch dry skin.

READ MORE

These heavy-hitting ingredients smooth out wrinkles and fine lines by ramping up collagen production and cellular turnover for youthful, bright-looking, even-toned skin. Since skin will be freshly exfoliated, it may feel irritated at first: Start slow, avoid using alongside other exfoliants, and always follow up with SPF!

Alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs)

What it does: AHAs are water-soluble acids derived from fruits or sugar cane that exfoliate dull, dry skin and stimulate collagen production to lessen wrinkles.

Who it's for: Anyone whose main concern is anti-aging, or those with dry skin.

How to use it: Start with a lower concentration and work up to daily use, as tolerated.

FYI: AHAs increase skins sensitivity to UV rays, so use SPF every day. AHAs also may cause superficial chemical burns on darker skin tones.

READ MORE

Bakuchiol

What it does: This ancient botanical seed is a gentler, effective alternative to retinol. It's anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, and increases collagen production, and reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation.

Who it's for: Safe for all skin types and those concerned with anti-aging, but particularly great for skin types that cannot tolerate retinol (e.g. sensitive skin, rosacea).

How to use it: Safe for use once to twice daily, morning or night.

FYI: Any new ingredient can cause a reaction. Start slowly and work your way up to daily use.

READ MORE

Glycolic Acid

What it does: An AHA that minimizes pores, fights acne, and speeds up cell turnover for fresher, clearer, younger-looking skin.

Who it's for: All skin types, though sensitive or dry skin types should use formulas with 5% concentration, max.

How to use it: Apply daily to oily and acne-prone skin at concentrations up to 10% in serums, toners, peels, and cleansers.

FYI: May cause irritation on dry or sensitive skin, or superficial burns at concentrations over 10%.

READ MORE

Retinol

What it does: A fat-soluble derivative of vitamin A, retinol is the reliable OTC anti-aging ingredient. It prevents collagen degeneration, encourages skin cell turnover, and strengthens skin against wrinkle formation.

Who it's for: Safe for all skin types, but best for mature skin types or anyone who wants to prevent signs of aging.

How to use it: Use once daily before bed, alternating nights of application and increasing frequency to nightly, once skin adjusts.

FYI: Retinol can be irritating and cause redness, dryness, peeling at first: Don't use alongside any chemical exfoliants or acids. Since it increases sun sensitivity, use SPF every day.

READ MORE

If your skin is dry, sensitive, prone to redness, or plagued by eczema, these calming, nourishing hydrators will be your saviors. Use them alone and/or immediately following any exfoliation regimen (above!).

Ceramides

What it does: This type of naturally-occurring fat holds skin cells together to help form a waterproof seal and healthy skin barrier that keeps skin hydrated.

Who it's for: Everyone, but particularly those with mature skin and eczema-prone, irritated, or dry, itchy skin.

How to use it: Apply daily in a lotion or cream alone or following retinoids, hydroxyacids, and exfoliants to stave off potential irritation.

FYI: Ceramides are naturally-occurring, but deplete with age and poor skin health. Luckily, OTC ceramides are bio-identical to what skin naturally produces.

READ MORE

Cica

What it does: Centella asiatica (a.k.a. cica) is an herb rich in anti-inflammatories that calms redness and irritation, regulates collagen synthesis, and protects against environmental damage.

Who it's for: Everyone, but particularly those who struggle with acne, rosacea, or severe dryness and sensitivity.

How to use it: Apply a cica-packed cream or serum to clean skin nightly, when skin is in repair mode.

FYI: Check the ingredients list cica, tiger grass, centella asiatica, or madecassoside should be near the top.

READ MORE

Humectants

What it does: Humectants are water-loving ingredients that draw moisture into skin to help increase moisture content over time.

Who it's for: Any skin type (even oily skin requires some hydration!), but especially essential for dry skin.

How to use it: Humectants like glycerin, hylauronic acid, aloe, and urea are most often formulated in moisturizers and creams alongside occlusives and emollients. Apply once to twice daily.

FYI: Since humecants draw moisture from anywhere, they might increase skin dryness if you live in a very dry environment by absorbing water from the skin instead of the air.

READ MORE

Hyaluronic Acid (HA)

What it does: A naturally-produced sugar molecule found in our skin, joints, and connective tissue, this gentle humectant attracts up to 1,000 times its weight in water to hydrate, smooth, and plump dry or wrinkled skin.

Who it's for: All skin types (allergic reactions are rare since it's naturally occurring), but particularly helpful for dry or mature skin in need of deep hydration.

How to use it: Most often found in products that are left on the skin (e.g. creams, lotions, serums, masks), HA can be used twice daily even on sensitive skin.

FYI: Skin produces less natural HA with age, which contributes to sallowness and wrinkles. Check skincare labels for mention of "sodium hyaluronate."

READ MORE

Niacinamide

What it does: This water-soluble derivative of niacin or vitamin B3 (an essential vitamin not produced by the body) is lauded its anti-inflammatory, soothing, brightening, and skin tone-evening benefits.

Who it's for: All skin types; it can help reduce sebum production on oily skin, retain moisture on dry skin, and foster ceramide production to repair skin compromised by rosacea or eczema.

How to use it: It's typically formulated into leave-on products like serums and creams and best used twice per day.

Caution: The way niacinamide works in the skin is not fully understood, but several studies have shown clinical skincare benefits.

READ MORE

Face oils are the cherry on top of any skincare regimen, and there's one out there for every type of skin. Use them solo, mix them into a moisturizer, or press them onto skin as the last step of your nighttime routine for glowing, nourished skin.

Castor Oil

What it does: Pressed from seeds of the plant ricinus communis, castor oil is loaded with emollient fatty acids that hydrate and make flaky skin feel softer, as well as ricinoleic acid, a potent antioxidant that protects the skin from free radicals that cause collagen loss and wrinkles.

Who it's for: All skin types, but particularly beneficial for dry or mature skin. Castor oil is also great for thinning or sparse eyebrows and eyelashes by helping to condition and thicken hairs.

How to use it: Apply to clean, dry skin one to two times per day as needed. Apply sparingly on brows or lashes, taking care to avoid contact with eyes.

FYI: Castor oil is commonly diluted in a carrier oil for skincare. Applying straight castor oil may lead to skin irritation, inflammation, and dryness.
