Exciting new technology in skin care now allows everyday topical products to have an amazing effect on your skin’s health and wellbeing. This technology allows us to achieve beautiful, youthful skin in a much shorter time frame. Rescu. has laid out what new technologies to look out for so your skin can reap the benefits.
EGF Activators
EGF, or Epidermal Growth Factor, is a natural protein produced by your skin cells to look after and repair your skin. It is your skins cellular activator, responsible for stimulating and renewing skin cells. Because your cells regenerate less and less as your grow older, it is important to activate this important protein to stop the signs of ageing.
Up Your EGF Levels With These Great Activators:
BioEffect EGF Serum
Mimicking the skin’s own cellular renewal mechanism, this serum is able to fight your body’s natural decline in skin stem cells and therefore decrease the signs of ageing. Not only are fine lines reduced, but the tone of
skin is improved giving you a youthful radiance.
Renowned dermatologist, Dr Ronald Moy has been clinically trialling BioEffect EGF Serum over the past year.
“The BioEffect EGF Serum is far more impressive than anything I have seen for anti-aging and for tightening. In fact, it rivals some of the procedures we dermatologists do to tighten skin, so I have been very
impressed.”
RRP $180. Available from www.bioeffect.com.au.
Lancome Visionnaire
This long-awaited product from Lancome has finally hit Australian shores and we are very excited. The product propels its self to the deepest layer of your epidermis and transforms skin from the inside out. Wrinkles and pigmentation are reduced and pores are tightened, leaving you with a healthier and more vibrant complexion.
50ml RRP $165. Available from Myer, David Jones. Call 02 9931 8888 for stocklists.
SkinMedica TNS Line Refine
If you are plagued by fine lines and wrinkles around your mouth, eyes and crows feet then this handy anti-ageing treatment will be a great investment. Fine lines are filled up by hydrators which plump the skin,
while light reflectors soften their appearance.
RRP $106. Available from www.advancedskintechnology.com.au
Stem Cell Technology
Because the regeneration of our skin’s stem cells slowly decline as we get older and cause signs of ageing, it is important to stimulate them into regrowing if we want to fight wrinkles and lines. Skin care products using stem cell technology contain specialised peptides and enzymes or plant stem cells which protect our human skin cells from damage and encourage this much needed growth.
Here Are Our Favourite Stem Cell Technology Skin Care Products:
Dermaquest Stem Cell 3D Complex
This luxurious cream has revolutionised the use of plant stem cells in anti-ageing skin care. Using extremely active botanical stem cells which have been selectively harvested, you are promised a noticeable reduction in wrinkle depth in 20 days.
RRP $305. Available from www.dermaquest.com.au.
Colleen Shimamoto from Dermaquest told us why buying skincare products that contain plant stem cells is a smart move for your skin.
“Plant stem cells offer all of the valuable components in one active ingredient with higher efficiency than a plant extract, and much greater stability than human or animal growth factors. For example, plant stem cells are made up of moisturising nutrients and powerful antioxidants. All of these replenishing nutrients, and healing and regenerating properties come from the plant stem cell in one powerhouse ingredient.
Stem Cell 3D complex is a unique blend of 3 different plant stem cells that are 1,000 times more active than other plant stem cells. Antioxidant rich gardenia helps to encourage collagen synthesis and prevent collagen breakdown, improving the skin’s elasticity and reducing the appearance of lines.”
La Prairie Cellular Power Infusion
If you are thinking about resorting to surgery to tackle your lines and wrinkles, stop and consider what La Prairie is calling their ‘most brilliant scientific achievement to date’. La Prairie are anti-ageing skin care experts and this product gets right to the source of the problem, tackling the causes of ageing by repairing and replenishing skin cells.
RRP $660. Call 1800 649 849 for stocklists.
Dr Lewinn’s Synergise range and Skin Doctor’s YouthCell creams combat ageing by using the amazing plant stem cells of rare Swiss apple, which doesn’t grow old even when it has fallen from the tree.
