Pearl Extract maintains skin tone and fights ageing. Containing protein complexes, amino acids and polysaccharides which synergistically enhance skin moisture and UV protection, it is particularly beneficial for maintaining healthy skin tone and to combat ageing.
Aloe Vera contains over seventy-five nutrients, twenty minerals, nineteen amino acids (including all eight essential amino acids and eleven secondary amino acids) and twelve vitamins. Offering a multitude of benefits too numerous to mention Aloe is famous for soothing, healing, repairing damaged cells and boosting collagen.
Jojoba traditionally used by native American Indians to treat skin disorders and fight premature ageing, Jojoba is rich in vitamins E and A, and contains high levels of tocopherols making it an effective anti-oxidant. Because its oil so closely resembles the skins own sebum it is extraordinarily compatible and effective at fighting wrinkles. It is particularly beneficial to those who suffer from psoriasis and eczema, and has natural anti-bacterial properties.
Hyaluronic Acid is a sticky clear fluid found naturally in the body between the collagen and elastin fibre networks in the dermis and plays a vital role in skin tissue regeneration as it is able to hold large amounts of moisture (1 gram of Hyaluronic Acid can attract 500cc of water). Increasing the hyaluronic acid content in your skin enhances hydration, firming and plumping the epidermis and reduces the formation of fine lines.
Amino Acids are building blocks of proteins that catalyze most of the reactions in living cells and are the main moisture retention factors in human skin encouraging the production of collagen and elastin. On the skins surface, amino acids bond with cells to temporarily fill in lines, making the skin appear smoother. However, due to their low molecular weight they`re able to penetrate the epidermis providing excellent moisture binding.
Algae Extract contains vitamins A, C and E. It protects against environmental stresses and irritation as well as hydrating and tightening the skin. It has anti-inflammatory properties and activates the forming of collagen and elastin.
Applephenon is derived from unripened apples is anti oxidant rich and helps control melanin formation and absorption of UV rays.
Shea Butter is naturally extracted from the karite nut and is very high in vitamins A and E, highly effective in cell regeneration and anti-aging it greatly improves the look and feel of the skin. With natural sun protection, moisturising and healing properties it does wonders for eczema and rough skin and is also highly recommended for eczema, post surgery sutures, scars, rashes and psoriasis.
FIRMING FACIAL MASK INGREDIENTS:
Hexapeptide | Amino Acids | Chamomile | Licorice Extract | Vitamin E | Aloe Vera | Ginkgo Biloba | Argireline
Hexapeptide is a complex blend of 6 peptides which provide superior wrinkle reduction as they limit muscular contraction, causing a natural muscle relaxant effect, therefore reducing expression lines. Due to the fact they amplify cell renewal, fibroblasts and collagen, they can improve skin moisture levels immediately and long term.
Amino Acids help each cell in the body perform vital maintenance & repair work. Applied topically, they bond with skin cells to temporarily fill in lines, making the skin smoother and are able to stimulate the production of collagen creating more resilient skin, plumping up fine lines & reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
Chamomile exhibits natural antibiotic and anti-inflammatory activity. It cleanses the pores and reduces redness / irritation. It’s soothing & calming properties make it ideal for people with very sensitive, itchy or blotchy skin.
Licorice extract is often used topically as a skin lightener as it inhibits the production of melanin, age spots and hyper-pigmentation so can help diminish variances in skin tone, brightening the complexion & restoring hydration as well as giving protection against external aggressions. (Glabridin – a compound within licorice extract has natural anti-inflammatory properties, meaning this formulation is unlikely to cause allergic reactions, irritation, or redness).
Vitamin E: a vital ingredient in skin care, it is a natural anti-oxidant which acts as a co-enzyme in cellular membranes; it serves as a free radical scavenger protecting skin cells against external aggressions and toxins. Other known benefits are: it helps prevent age spots, reduces the appearance of stretch marks, maintains oil balance when used in cleansers and reduces trans-epidermal moisture loss, thus improving the overall texture and appearance of the skins surface
Aloe Vera is the most nutrient rich plant and offers a multitude of benefits too numerous to mention but famous for soothing, healing, repairing damaged cells & boosting collagen.
Ginkgo Biloba is an anti-ageing herb that boosts circulation and prevents capillary fragility. Used topically it has the ability to boost collagen formation and create fibroblasts (cells that maintain the structural integrity of connective tissues by continuously secreting pre-cursors of the extra cellular matrix)
Argireline otherwise known as (acetyl hexapeptide-3) is a powerful anti-wrinkle ingredient made from proteins of three amino acids. It acts similarly to Botox in that it relaxes facial skin & dermal layers, reducing the depth of fine lines & wrinkles, especially in the forehead and around the eyes. When applied topically, the properties within this highly sought after anti-ageing agent are able to diminish muscle contraction and in effect even out wrinkles and prevent the appearance of new ones.
