Organic Skin Care: The Benefits of an Immune Serum for the Skin with Hyaluronic Acid
by Aileen Fitzharris
Organic skin care is quickly becoming one of the newest trends that aspire to give you healthier and younger looking skin. One of the main ideas behind organic skin care is that products with organically grown plants are an alternative to harsher, more traditional cosmetic products.
A lot of people have gotten on the natural bandwagon and are now looking for products that are as natural as they can get. They consciously choose not to use lotions, creams or cosmetics that contain chemical ingredients in full knowledge that by doing so, they will protect their skin from the undesired side effects that harsh chemical ingredients can have on human health in the long run. Yet, there are others that require organic ingredients just because of the more sensitive touch that only natural ingredients can provide.
Organic skin care products are so gentle and effective that they are ideal for sensitive and aging skin because they contain little or no chemical irritant ingredients.
As our skin ages, it becomes more vulnerable to sun damage. Also wrinkles start to appear and the skin begins to look duller. For years cosmetics companies have been persistently looking for the perfect solution to erase eye wrinkles, smile lines, and the more mature appearance of the skin, and it seems as if they have finally found it: hyaluronic acid.
This molecule made of complex sugar or carbohydrate chains can be found throughout our bodies, in our skin, connective tissues and even in our brain. It works as a binding, lubricating and protective agent. In fact, it plays a multifaceted role in the process of healing injuries to our tissues or wounds.
Hyaluronic Acid and Moisture Retention
As our skin ages the natural ability it normally has to hold water in is reduced because hyaluronic acid production decreases. This age-related decline actually begins around our late teens or early twenties, but becomes much more noticeable after the age of 40.
The skin loses elasticity and wrinkle lines begin to appear. The best way to counteract this process is to use a topical application of hyaluronic acid.
Hyaluronic acid holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water. This water-retaining ability makes the use of this ingredient a great way of promoting plump and youthful skin. Hyaluronic acid is also a great way of supporting the body’s production and maintenance of collagen.
The degradation of collagen is an important factor in the aging process. As a matter of fact, the loss of collagen decreases skin tone and elasticity.
To remedy these problems brought on by aging, most anti wrinkle creams now contain hyaluronic acid. In fact, also several moisturizing creams include this ingredient.
The best anti aging cream should contain hyaluronic acid as one of their base ingredients.
In order to get the most out of this miraculous ingredient, you can also incorporate a hyaluronic acid health supplement into your dietary routine. This will help support the benefits already obtained from your topical treatment.
Hyaluronic acid is also a main component of a naturally occurring immune serum that is nowadays included in anti wrinkle and skin care products by the brand name BIOCUTIS. This serum, collected from a mollusk of the species Helix Aspersa Müller, that has soft tissues very similar in its molecular makeup to those present in humans, when applied to human skin perform functions similar to what it does for the mollusk in a way similar to how another mollusk, the oyster by coating an irritant, little by little, creates a beautiful pearl, that no one is able to replicate in a laboratory.
The serum contains complex molecular chains that are made up of glycans, peptides and proteins, enzymes and co-enzymes and oligoelements. They all protect the skin from oxygen-derived radicals.
Countless skin care lotions claim to be loaded with antioxidants but what does that honestly mean? The addition of antioxidants in skin care treatments is becoming more and more fashionable due to anti-aging benefits. They can diminish UV damage and premature aging while helping wound healing and initiating collagen development. With all the perks, it is only ‘natural’ that individuals would want them in a skin care product.
The immune serum contains complex antioxidant molecules in water that are stable. In fact it has powerful enzymatic antioxidant activity by both Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) and Glutathione S-transferase (GSH-T). They prevent free radicals from affecting your skin and help to repair the damage caused by free radicals to the collagen in the skin.
When applied to fresh, clean skin, the all natural antioxidants will fuse with your own skin cells and:
* limit oxidative damage and free radical formation, saving healthy cells. It is able to do this by the action of low molecular weight ingredients that possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
* moisturize and hydrate the dermal elements from within by fortifying the ability of your skin to produce the water holding structures in the skin matrix. Glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans provide the skin elasticity and stamina.
* prompt the orderly reconstruction and renewal of flawed and cells affected by UV damage.
* Copper peptides in the immune serum promote skin renewal by rousing new capillary formation and boosting the creation of collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans.
* arouse an orderly release of fibrin which guards the frail inner walls of the blood vessels and promotes unhindered blood flow.
When you use BIOCUTIS products on your skin you will achieve beautiful skin like with no other organic skin care product for wrinkles, aging skin, and even hard to heal skin disorders such as acne, scars, keratosis, rosacea, eczema, and many more skin disorders that this immune serum helps your skin to cope with and resolve.
