Beauty is where health is
Treating the body from inside- out! We have partnered with “Face Value Solutions “ to achieve not only radiant, glowing skin but optimal health as well. A comprehensive approach to skin care is to rebalance body chemistry through diet, nutritional supplementation and Topical skincare. Every complexion benefits from targeted formulations. "Your skin is the fingerprint of what is going on inside your body, and all skin conditions. There is a lot of important new research showing tremendous power of antioxidants in general, and in some specific nutrients in particular that make an important difference in the way your skin looks and feels -- and even in how well it ages. We are all affected to some degree by intrinsic, or chronological, aging. As we climb in years, our skin’s ability slows down. Visible signs of aging skin, such as dryness, fine lines and wrinkles, can actually begin to appear at the tender age of 25. After 40, however, hormonal changes inhibit collagen production and collagen stores begin to break down. This natural occurrence leads to a thinning of the skin, making the underlying blood-vessel structure more visible at the surface. Then there’s photoaging, the premature aging of the skin caused by sunlight. The term photoaging originates from the fact that only a high-tech UV camera can reveal the damage caused by UV radiation, which is generally invisible to the naked eye. It is estimated that up to 90% of wrinkles are due to excessive exposure to the sun. And this is scary: 80% of photoaging has already occurred by age 18. It just takes a few decades to be able to read the evidence on your face.
So which nutrients do you need to keep your skin healthy and looking its best?We made it simple for you by adding the core skin nutritional Topicals with dermatologic discoveries
*Topical vitamin A is the form that makes a real difference in your skin. Medical studies show a reduction in lines and wrinkles, good acne control, and some psoriasis relief, all from using creams containing this nutrient. Vitamin A is necessary for the maintenance and repair of skin tissue. Without it, you'll notice the difference. Fruits and vegetables are loaded with vitamin A.
*Topical Vitamin B
Niacin, a specific B vitamin,
helps skin retain moisture, so creams containing this nutrient can help your
complexion look plumper and younger in as little as six days. Niacin also has
anti-inflammatory properties to soothe dry, irritated skin. In higher
concentrations it can also work as a lightening agent to even out blotchy skin
tone. All B vitamins,
often referred to as B complex vitamins, assist and regulate carbohydrate, fat
and protein metabolism. These are essential mechanisms which produce energy for
the body. They also contribute to hemoglobin synthesis and red blood cell
production which carries oxygen around the body. Furthermore, B complex vitamins
help maintain muscle tone along the wall of the digestive tract and promote
healthy skin, hair, eyes, mouth, liver and nervous system.Good sources of
Vitamin B3 (Niacin) are:
chicken, peanuts, pork, sardines, tuna
* Topical Vitamin C & E can prevent the consequences of prolonged sun exposure which can lead to skin cancer. C and E in the long term reduced their sunburns from exposure to UVB radiation. Vitamin C and E help by reducing the damage caused by free radicals, a harmful byproduct of sunlight, smoke, and pollution. To make sure your diet includes plenty of vitamin C, eat citrus fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C such as bell peppers, broccoli, cauliflower, and leafy greens. These foods can replace the loss of the vitamin through the skin. You can also take vitamin C supplements, up to 500 to 1,000 milligrams of per day, according to the American Academy of Dermatology.
*Topical Vitamin K. As the nutrient responsible for helping blood clot, Vitamin K won't do much for your skin from the inside. But studies presented to the American Academy of Dermatology in 2003 showed that topical vitamin K works well to reduce circles under the eye as well as bruises.
Topical Minerals are Beneficial for Skin Nutrition such as Copper. Together with vitamin C and the mineral zinc, copper helps to develop elastin, the fibers that support skin structure from underneath. Cooper has been found to firm the skin and help restore some elasticity, according to four studies presented at the American Academy of Dermatology Annual Meeting in 2002. Copper peptides creams have demonstrated rapid, visual overall improvements in skin roughness, clarity, fine lines, wrinkling, and overall photodamage. In similar studies, this same team of researchers found that copper peptides noticeably improved skin elasticity and thickness.Cooper Necessary for the absorption and utilization of iron, supports formation of hemoglobin and several enzymes.Found in meats and water.
Hyaluronic Acid Made by the body, this nutrient's main job is to lubricate joints so that knees, elbows, fingers, and toes all move smoothly and easily. But Sullivan says research shows it also plays a role in skin cells, acting as a kind of glue that helps hold them together, keeping skin looking smoother and younger. Another plus is its ability to hold water, up to 1,000 times its weight, which means more moisture in each skin cell. The nutrient isn't readily available in food.
Alpha-Hydroxy Acids (AHA) rejuvenates the surface of the skin and, at the same time, causes old, flat cells (from aging) under the skin to regenerate. It helps tighten pores and diminish lines and wrinkles, thus rebuilding structural support causing the skin to appear more youthful. It helps to fade splotches and presents a more even tone both in texture and color. The alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) in apples, oranges—even milk—not only nourish us inside, they are crucial to keeping our outer layer looking refreshed and young. Mother Nature’s best anti-aging cosmetic ingredient—fruit acids.
