Vitamin C to Boost Collagen Synthesis

 

Vitamin C is one of the most widely used skin care ingredients. The variety of skin rejuvenation and anti-wrinkle products with vitamin C is staggering. But are these products efficient? On one hand, vitamin C does possess definite, scientifically validated merits for wrinkle reduction and skin rejuvenation. On the other hand, many products with vitamin C do not work. 

 

Potentially, vitamin C can benefit skin in two important ways. Firstly, vitamin C is essential for the synthesis of collagen, a key structural protein of the skin. Secondly, vitamin C is an antioxidant and can help reduce skin damage caused by free radicals. So, when vitamin C is properly delivered into skin cells, there is a good chance to reduce wrinkles and improve skin texture.

Over-Exposed to Sun Rays

 

Only a desert survives a relentless sun. Even a lush valley becomes a dry, barren Sahara when dehydrated by unlimited sunlight and lack of moisture. Being more valuable a desert our unprotected skin is easily damaged by the sun's penetrating rays. 

 

Approximately 5 per cent of the UV radiation hitting the skin is reflected. The remaining 95 per cent passes into the tissue, gets scattered and then passes out again, or gets absorbed by molecules in the various layers of the epidermis and dermis.

 

UVA rays are longer than UVB so they can penetrate more deeply through the skin’s surface where they kill collagen and elastin, which makes your skin slack and floppy, and cause dry, leathery, blotchy skin. How wrinkled your skin gets depends largely on how much sun you have been exposed to in your life. People, who spend a lot of time outside without adequate protection, develop leathery skin earlier, which makes them look older than they are.

 

UV radiation has many effects on the skin as a result of its absorption by skin molecules, called chromophores, the most important of which is DNA. After UV absorption, DNA undergoes chemical changes. If these alterations are not repaired, they can be highly disruptive to the way cells function. Now it is known that even small amounts of sunlight on the skin can cause DNA damage throughout the entire thickness of the epidermis. Fortunately, most of this is repaired within days, although some permanent damage may remain. The absorption of UV radiation by skin chromophores and the irreparable damage are considered the main causes of visible skin damage.

 

If we want to look tan, without the risk, we should use sunless tanning creams, sprays or mousses. A sunless tan gives our skin protection from the sun if there is SPF included in the product.

Forlle’d technology: look how it works

On the video you can see how Ultra Low molecular Hyaluronic acid penetrate into the deep layers of the skin, fills it with water and vital substances and makes it healthier and younger. The technology is based on the discoveries of Nobel Prize winner Koichi Tanaka. 

As you know many companies in anti-ageing industry add Hyaluronic acid in their products.  This products works but only on the surface of your skin.  It is obvious because Hyaluronic acid molecule is huge, it is bigger than skin cells, so it can’t penetrate deeply.

 

Until recently the only decision was using injective methods.  This method has disadvantages due to the fact that it damages the skin, and limits its daily application

 

Forlle’d technology makes it possible without injections. Forlle’d products contain reduced Hualuronic acid molecule just 5 nanometers wide, which allows it to penetrate deep into the skin and most important, these small molecules don't lose their effectiveness and can rejoin again in the skin.

Dry skin Relief

 

Dry skin can be uncomfortable and unattractive. It has a low level of sebum and can be prone to sensitivity. The skin has a parched look caused by its inability to retain moisture. Symptoms of the dry skin vary depending on age, health / genetic condition, geographical location or time spent outdoors. They can be as follows:

 

• Skin has a rough and dry texture; 

• A loss of plumpness – skin appears shrunken or dehydrated;

• Skin is dull in appearance;

• After showering, bathing, or swimming the skin feels and looks tight;

• Peeling of the skin is quite common;

• Itchy feeling;

• Wrinkles in the skin become much more visible;

• Severe redness, inflamed areas, or tenderness in the skin;

• Cracks in skin or deep cuts.

Among the main causes for the dry skin are: 

• Not enough lubrication to the skin supplied by the oil glands. As a result, the skin becomes dehydrated;

• Poor diet. Nutritional deficiencies, especially deficiencies of vitamin A and the B vitamins, can contribute to dry skin;

• Environmental factors such as exposure to sun, wind, cold, chemicals, or cosmetics, or excessive bathing with harsh soaps.

 

Well, some dry skin is hereditary, some comes with aging, as natural skin oils diminish, and some can accompany medical conditions such as asthma or thyroid disease. But daily skin care habits such as washing with harsh soaps, using sanitizing or harsh cleansing agents, and scrubbing can also cause or worsen dry skin.

 

Since many dry skin symptoms are due to external causes, they can be well deminished by external skin care treatment. Just making a few adjustments to your daily skin care routine can help. No matter what the cause, there are many things you can do to make dry skin smooth and supple:

 

• Skip long, hot showers. Hot water strips oils from the skin faster than warm water. Long showers or baths actually result in dried out skin; 

• Use a gentle cleanser or shower gel with moisturizer. Go for unscented, soap-free cleansers instead of harsh cleansers. Use nondetergent, neutral-pH products to cleanse your skin. A moisturizer increases the water content of the outer layers of the skin and gives it a soft, moist look. Dry skin needs plenty of thorough but gentle cleansing, regular stimulation with massage and generous quantities of oil and moisture. It also needs extra careful protection; 

• Avoid coming in contact with highly alkaline soaps and detergents like washing sodas and powders which contain highly alkaline and drying ingredients.

The Power of Bioelectricity: Innovation in Skincare?

 

 

We constantly follow advanced technology to ensure improvements in our skin, hair and health. There are many ways to give your skin a boost. But is harnessing the power of bioelectricity in skincare really possible?

 

Bioelectricity is the body’s natural signalling process. When our brain tells our body to do something, it does so with electrical pulses.

 

It is also a key factor in the healing of wounds. Low levels of bioelectricity are generated by the injured tissue, producing extra elastin and collagen to rejuvenate and repair the skin.

 

 

 

 

Now, after some years of research, scientists claim to have discovered how to harness these currents and has developed a cream that promotes skin rejuvenation and anti-aging by using the body’s natural wound-healing abilities. Such cure can create low-level micro-currents to help rejuvenate the skin.

 

So how exactly does bioelectricity work and is this really a breakthrough in anti-ageing skincare? Scientists studied if it is possible to apply the same sort of bioelectricity to the cells that they do when they’re healing to get an increase in cell regeneration.

 

The new products come in two parts. Each part consists of a concentrate containing zinc and copper particles and a separate activating moisturiser which is meant to create a micro-current of electricity over the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production.

 

But dermatologist always look for evidence when it comes to a medical or anti-ageing breakthrough. They want to see studies and tissue samples showing a change in texture, wrinkling and collagen formation. Still there are no complete studies to prove new bioelectrical skin care work. Many cosmetologists believe that the turning point in anti-ageing and skincare will most likely come through diet, sun protection and possibly stem-cell research.

Fight with Pigmentation

 

    Pigmentation is one of the most common skin conditions affecting people of all colors and ages worldwide. Melanin is responsible for imparting color to your skin, hair and iris of the eyes. Skin pigmentation disorders occur as a result of the body producing either too much or too little melanin. Causes of skin pigmentation can range from auto immune conditions to drug reactions or genetic inheritance. Sun damage is probably the leading cause of skin pigmentation problems.

Repair Damaged Hair

 

Winter months dry hair causing frizz and summer months bleach and burn hair causing split ends and damage. First, one way to repair damaged split ends that cause frizzy hair is to cut the hair back to the point where the hair is not damaged. But it isn’t the only solution. Even when weather and the outdoors isn't damaging hair, blow drying, coloring hair, styling products and machines can be harmful for hair health. Certainly hair treatments can repair some of the damage. But it’s far easier to prevent damage than it is to repair it.

 

First of all we should think of avoiding heat and styling machines. Limit the use of hot tools to your hair if you are having problems with dryness. Blow dryers and hot irons are counter productive for dry hair. At least if it is really necessary to use these tools for styling, apply good thermal protective treatment.

Sleep & Beauty

 

 

It’s rather obvious that an organism needs some time to have a rest after hard working days. The idea of beauty rest is ingrained in popular culture, but it has never been put to the test by scientists until recently. Swedish researchers highlighted that there is a certain link between sleep and a physical appearance. In a study published uin 2010 they found that sleep-deprived people appear less healthy, more tired, and less attractive than those who have a full night's sleep. Sleep is the body's natural beauty treatment. It is a time to recoup ours losses.

Do Cosmetics Make Us Happier?

 

 

K scientists have reached to a conclusion that women who visit beauticians more often and who enjoy taking care of skin and applying different skincare solutions live longer. At first sceptics tried to explain this by wrong statistics. But this phenomenon has a reasonable explanation.

 

From the histology point there is a close correlation between our internal organs and systems and skin rush appearance. In other words all problems and stresses are almost immediately reflected on our skin, which besides is exposed to outer aggressive influence. Some dermatologists even consider independent skin diseases a myth!

Fruit, Vegetables and Good Complexion Go Together

 

Good complexion strengthens appeal. Scientists are ready to answer how many fruit and vegetables are necessary for us to be beautiful. They found out that fruit and vegetables can really improve our complexion. Besides, people like those who prefer such products. Specialists relate this fact to luteins and lycopenes, making our skin sallow and reddish.  

During a month and a half scientists from St. Andrews Psychology Department were studying eating habits and complexion of 35 men and women. During a second part of the experiment 24 people were asked to range four faces according to their attractiveness. These faces were different by complexion, as people were eating different amount of fruit and vegetables. Finally it was discovered that for the best visual perception we should eat fruit and vegetables 3 times a day not less than 6 weeks. Such diet improves our complexion, making our skin fresh and healthy.

 

The scientists also became convinced that those who ignore fruit and vegetables are usually pale. 

We should take into account that there are a lot of luteins in carrot, peach, apricot and pumpkin. And tomato, pepper, water melon, and pink grapefruit contain a lot of lycopenes. By the way, it is well known that these natural compounds are also powerful instruments to fight diseases. Doctors find them useful to prevent illness and beauticians regard them as a powerful instrument to improve complexion.
