It doesn’t seem to be an age thing anymore. Everyone, these days… including myself ……is looking for “Magic In A Jar” when it comes to looking youthful.
Three wonderful ingredients to look for in your anti-aging skin care products are polysaccharide peptides, melanin inhibitors, and anti-oxidants. These three power- house compounds increase hydration, firmness, and brightness of your skin.
Sorghum, an extract from grain, is known for its high content of polysaccharide (sugar) peptides, which increases hydration and firmness of the skin. This syrupy sap is also high in Vitamins B2 and C. When processed in a freeze dried form and applied to the skin, it interacts with keratinocytes cells and becomes a non-occlusive, flexible, adhesive film. This film has a tightening effect on the skin. Think of it as an invisible girdle. 🙂 Tests prove the skin’s resilience is increased and wrinkles are reduced up to 23%. Count me in….
A second highly effective ingredient for adding youth to the skin is a fabulous anti-oxidant called Kombucha. Kombucha comes from sweet black tea and is used in Asia as an elixir for well-being, increasing health, and longevity. It is by nature, highly enriched with vitamins B1, B2, B3, B12, and a host of repairing acids. This is the reason it is so popular and can be used both internally and externally for health reasons. In skin care products, Kombucha has amazing influence on the cell’s ability to restore its hydration level and maintain it. This imparts a natural plumping to the skin, reducing the signs of wrinkles.
A third ingredient, Diacetyl Boldine, harvested from the bark of a Chilean tree, plays 3 major roles in rejuvenating your skin. For best results, in a skin care product, it is micro-encapsulated to penetrate the skin’s surface. This allows it to work on a cellular level to normalize melanin production by inhibiting the Tyrosinase enzyme. This action reduces hyper-pigmentation for a more even skin tone. Second, it works as an Anti-Oxidant to neutralize cell-damaging Free Radicals and stop them in their tracks! And, thirdly it blocks “stress” receptors to leave your complexion fresh and rested.
By using a produce with any one of these ingredients or all three it would significantly improve the overall look and health of your skin.
