BIOSKINCARE® used as a long term skin care routine is as good as short term strong chemical peels for the renewal of the skin.
Glycolic Acid & The Structure of Your Skin
|
The drawing to the right shows a cross section of your skin. Your skin is made up of three layers, the epidermis, dermis, and the subcutaneous tissue. The Epidermis The outside layer is known as the stratum corneum (the horny layer). The horny layer is the tough, waterproof cover made up of dead cells, which are continuously shed as new cells come up from below. This is the layer that most skin care products affect, improving the look of the skin by temporarily plumping the dead skin cells. This distributes light more evenly, creating the appearance of smoother, more radiant skin, but in order to actually improve the condition of the skin, you would need a substance that would be able to penetrate this outer layer of skin.
The build up of dead skin cells on the outer layer can lead to dull skin and clogged pores. Glycolic acid dissolves the bonds between dead skin cells, allowing them to slough off and reveal fresher skin underneath. Exfoliation can help remove the dull skin, but only if the skin has been sufficiently loosened. Moisturizers also target this layer, working to trap, or, in some cases, capture moisture to keep the keratinocytes (dead skin cells) plump and smooth. The prick-cell layer is the middle layer of the epidermis. This layer contains maturing cells (squamous cells) which are heading up toward the horny layer. The basal layer births the new skin cells that will eventually mature into squamous cells. This layer contains melanocytes, the cells that give pigment to your skin, known as Melanin. Exposure to sunlight cause the melanocytes to produce more melanin in an attempt to protect the dermis below. This is what gives your skin a tanned appearance after sun exposure. Sunless Tanners do not affect the melanocytes, but use an ingredient called dihydroxyacetone (DHA) to stain
a reddish-brown color to simulate a tan.
Skin care products that contain collagen and elastin usually cannot restore these fibers because their molecules are too large to pass through the skin's horny layer. NATURE'S Bioskincare does contain elastin and collagen molecules that will penetrate within the hair follicles, this time carried in by the bio-available enzymes, to help in the process of restoring your damaged skin. Your body does create more collagen and elastin to repair the dermis,
(and such production is much enhanced with NATURE'S Bioskincare due to the action of the allantoin that it contains). But you must protect your skin from more damage for these repairs to be
successful, by preventing further damage to the elastin and collagen fibers with a
sunblock SPF of 15 or higher. GLYCOLIC ACID DISSOLVES AND ELIMINATE THE OUTER LAYER OF DEAD SQUAMOUS CELLS!!! Glycolic Acid is able to penetrate through the cell walls by virtue of its small molecular size and it also keeps the hair follicles open, carrying into them the other bio-available ingredients contained in the snail's secretions, namely allantoin, collagen, elastin, proteins and vitamins. Once inside the follicle allantoin will trigger the formation of new elastic cells, collagen and pigment, filling in cavities. It will also shrink and replace the old fibrous collagen. Soon new 'invisible' hair, known as lanugo, will come through the restored hair follicles in those areas. It will also "pump" up the cells and the "ground substances" in the skin. That also reduces wrinkles on the skins surface. In fact, enzymes was initially patented for use in the early 1980s as purely a cosmetic tool to help in the skin smoothing and facial wrinkles treatment of older individuals. Glycolic Acid also affects the newly forming keratin cells at the bottom of the stratum corneum causing the bulk of it to lift off and separate from the underlying skin. This gives your skin a much smoother look and feel. BIOSKINCARE triggers new collagen formation The natural secretions of the snail Helix Aspersa Müller contains Glycosaminoglycans combined with natural antibiotics, Glycolic Acid, collagen, elastin, and other proteins and vitamins in a natural bio-compatible form. BIOSKINCARE® used as a long term skin care routine is as good as short term strong chemical peels that are followed by the application of skin regeneration accelerators for the renewal of the skin. |
Clogged pore, a rich sebum environment for bacteria.
The diagram above shows a hair follicle and its associated sebaceous gland. It is this gland that produces sebum, an oily material that surrounds each hair follicle. Hormonal imbalances (in men as well) cause the hair follicle to tighten allowing hardened sebum to build up closing the pore. This causes hair loss, acne and prevents the healing of scaring of all types, including stretch marks. With the daily use of a little amount of NATURE'S Bioskincare, dead cells are dissolved, hair follicles are cleaned of debris, the germs are destroyed and ultimately the sebaceous gland functions normally again. The Cream is also a natural antiseptic, germicide, antibacterial and fungicide.
