Hot sauce apparently equals a hot face.
A New Jersey hot-sauce guru claims he's found a ground-breaking wrinkle remedy — the same ingredient that puts the scorch in his sauces, the New York Post reported.
Blair Lazar, who makes the "Blair's Death Sauces" line, has unveiled a new skin-cream, Biocap, whose key ingredient is capsaicin, the element that makes hot foods hot. And he swears the potent product — inspired by a lab accident — works wonders on sagging skin.
"There's nothing like this on the market," he told the Post. "Even Botox doesn't do what this does for skin tone."
Not a novel claim, but a top Manhattan dermatologist, who skeptically gave Biocap a test run at The Post's request, said she was "surprised and impressed" at its effectiveness.
Dr. Laurie Polis, of SoHo Skin & Laser Dermatology in New York, tested it on herself and three others, and says that while one quit when her skin grew irritated, all three others achieved meaningful results."I absolutely did see improvement in the texture, tone and clarity of the skin," says Polis. "There was improved hydration and a decrease in wrinkling."
