Researchers are working on a true anti-graying cream that could make people produce their own youthful colors again. So far, it's worked in just a few people who have lost pigment in their hair and skin not from age, but from a condition called vitiligo. Because the cause of vitiligo pigment loss is the same as one possible cause of graying in old age, however, the prototype cream might be a step toward a real anti-graying cream. (But what would we do without those Just For Men commercials?)

I’m 53 and the same way. I still have a full head of brown hair, but my whiskers are grey.

To Duchess47:

“The cinnamon and honey tea” ...

Is that a particular brand of tea?

If not, how much cinnamon goes into the tea (1 tsp? 1/2 tsp?); and is the tea green tea, or is it regular tea, like English Breakfast tea?

Thanks!

Baldness is a cure for gray hair. Shave your head if you don’t appreciate gray hair.

"The researchers had five of their study volunteers apply a cream they developed to reduce the amount of hydrogen peroxide in the skin. The researchers found that the cream worked to repigment the volunteers' skin and eyelashes."

This cure has been around for a few years. It is an enzyme called Catalase. Industrial-grade catalase is used in the textile industry and can be very cheap.

Well, that would cure 1/3 of the problem.

Where's the cream to cure the wrinkles, and that would give people the skin of their youth again?

The other third would be the remedy or drug to take away the areas that sag with age, like rears and bellies and breasts.

Youthful hair on an otherwise aged body, would create a lot of weirdness.
