Skin Elixir

Description

Antioxidant vitamins C and E help to protect the skin from oxidative damage. Vitamin C boosts endogenous collagen and elastin fibbers production, which give the skin elasticity and firmness. It has been enriched with Citrus Bioflavonoids (Rutin and Hesperidin) and extra dose of Quercetin – these bioflavonoids recycle vitamin C to offer even more antioxidant action and boost skin cells replication. Together with vitamin C they strengthen skin capillaries delaying visible signs of aging like spider veins and varicose veins. Hesperidin works to lessen the appearance of age spots and other hyperpigmentation disorders by limiting the capacity of the skin cells to produce tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for skin discoloration issues.

CoEnzyme Q10 helps to increase the levels of collagen and elastin in the skin, and so helps to repair damaged skin cells. It has significant antioxidant activity that helps to reduce oxidative stress at intercellular level.

Hyaluronic Acid nourishes and hydrates the collagen hence it’s directly responsible for keeping the skin plump, hydrated and young-looking.

Acai Berry with its anthocyanins content is the most powerful and biologically active plant source of antioxidants. It helps to prevent dark spots, wrinkles, fine lines, sagginess and discoloration – as they are all tied to free radical damage within the skin. It works hand in hand with anthocyanosides from Bilberry that improve blood circulation by helping blood pass through capillaries. Proper blood circulation is essential for skin as blood supplies skin cells with oxygen through haemoglobin – oxygen keeps skin cells alive, refreshed and able to breathe. Blood carries water as well, therefore strong skin capillaries and proper circulation are essential for skin hydration.

Ashwagandha is ayurverdic herb praised for its rejuvenation effects. Withanolides in Ashwagandha have adaptogenic action – they help the body adapt to stress, decrease cortisol levels and limit stress-induced damage to body cells. It promotes hyaluronan, elastin and collagen production as well as balance natural skin oils.

Catechins from Green Tea work on multiple levels to deliver rejuvenation effects. Together with vitamin D from Hair Elixir they prevent telomere shortening and erosion – the reason behind DNA damage that stops cell division. By its lengthening effect on telomeres it ensures new skin cells are being created. Additionally Green Tea catechins (notably EGCG) inhibits collagenase and elastase action – the very enzymes behind break down of collagen and elastin in the skin.
