Many people rely on cutting edge science to research new ingredients to produce cutting edge anti aging products that produce better skin health. However in reality the best ingredients to be found in the best anti aging products have been known about for centuries, and they have, for all that time, have been known to have a role in improving the health of your skin. Seaweed and sheeps wool are 2 examples of this.
But what in the world could seaweed, sheeps wool and skin care have in common? In fact there has been a seaweed skin care link for many hundreds of years, because for all of this time Japanese women have known about the benefits of seaweed for good skin care.
Seaweed, and in particular Phytessence Wakame, a particular type of seaweed found around the coast of Japan, has been eaten by the Japanese for centuries. And it is no coincidence that Japanese women have some of the best looking skin in the world as they age. And the Japanese have known about the seaweed skin care link for a long time.
Phytessence Wakame has always been prized for its properties in promoting better skin health.
Now modern science has discovered why seaweed and skin care go together and the result is the release of some excellent seaweed skin care products. The reason why seaweed is so good for your skin is to do with enzymes, and one in particular called hyaluronidase. Hyaluronidase breaks down the elastin and collagen in your skin.
Collagen and elastin are very important to help maintain the elasticity of your skin and it is elasticity that helps keep your skin supple yet firm. It is elasticity that helps keep wrinkles away and the loss of elasticity leads to wrinkles and skin sagging. If hyaluronidase breaks down your collagen and elastin that’s bad.
Modern science has now discovered that there are very important components of Phytessence Wakame that help reduce the actions of hyaluronidase, thereby helping maintain the levels of collagen and elastin in your skin and helping to maintain skin elasticity leading to less wrinkles.
But how about the sheep? Science now knows of the link between seaweed and skin aging but why would sheep have anything to do with good anti aging?
Again it’s all about collagen and elastin. Some of the ingredients found in sheeps wool help stimulate the skin to produce more collagen and elastin all by itself. These ingredients have now been isolated and put into a patented ingredient called Cynergy TK which is found in the worlds best anti aging products. Again there’s more elastin and collagen there to keep wrinkles and sagging away.
So as you can see there is a clear seaweed skin care link, and sheeps wool is a big part of it. As a result there are some excellent seaweed extract skin care products available using extracts of Phytessence Wakame as well as Cynergy TK.
