It all started with what seems to be an elusive goal: find the best anti aging ingredient Mother Nature has to offer. Women everywhere are searching endlessly for the "next best thing" to tighten skin and fight the signs of aging at any age. And after Lady Gaga shared that this is one her favorite ways to keep her skin in tiptop shape, we thought it time to honor this ingredient with a little feature of its own.

Long used in Chinese Medicine and often touted as the "liquid facelift" Dragon Tree Sap, also referred to as dragon's blood, poses a variety of strengthening effects on the skin. The sap from these trees has helped to heal nicks, cuts, insect bites, sores, stings, rashes, abrasions, and even burns thanks to its tissue-healing properties. The antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal components make this one of Mother Nature's secret skin care weapons.

Not only does dragon's blood help heal skin, it also works to keep it youthful. With daily, continued use this small wonder from nature plumps and lifts skin while protecting against environmental aggressors, preventing further damage with its antioxidant properties.

No wonder tons of brands have infused dragon's blood into their topical skin care creams. And this spring Wei Beauty is adding new Face Lifting Pads to its family of Dragon Blood treatment products. Consider the brand if you're looking to try dragon's blood out for yourself:

Soaked in a firming solution of Dragon Blood extract, Wei's Dragon Blood Eye Lifting Pads ($68) quickly provide invisible support, firming, lifting and tightening the skin around the delicate eye area. They help diminish the appearance of sagging skin, and provides a visibly firm-and-supple look to the jaw and chin area.

And with just one-to-two drops of the brand's Dragon Tree Dramatic Lift Face Concentrate ($58) the specially formulated serum will visibly diminish sagging skin, restoring skin's firm, youthful appearance.
