NEW PRODUCT ANNOUNCEMENT: MICRO CURRENT FACE MASK
The SF3™ Facial Mask delivers gentle electrical
microcurrent stimulation to the facial muscles, mimicking the body's natural
electrical currents. These microcurrents work to stimulate ATP (adenosine
triphosphate) production within skin cells, which is essential for cellular
energy. Increased ATP levels promote collagen and elastin production, crucial
proteins that support skin structure and elasticity. As a result, the skin
appears firmer, tighter, and more rejuvenated. The mask's advanced formulation
of botanical extracts and hydrating agents further enhances skin health,
providing a spa-like experience at home with visible and lasting results.
Pomegranate Extract – Pomegranate is well known for
being high in Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Polyphenols, as well as being rich in
antioxidants and beneficial fatty acids. Using Pomegranate extract on the skin
improves skin hydration, skin health and tone.
Sodium Hyaluronate Acid – You may already be familiar
with the skin-plumping benefits of hyaluronic acid. Sodium Hyaluronate Acid is
a derivative of hyaluronic acid that is synthesized for a smaller molecular
structure which offers greater stability and increased resistance to oxidation.
A smaller molecular structure means it penetrates more deeply into the skin,
providing intense hydration and a more youthful appearance.
Polyglutamic
Acid – Similar in benefits to Hyaluronic Acid, Polyglutamic Acid promotes
longer hydration retention in the skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and
improving skin texture, tone and radiance.
Hydrolyzed
Sclerotium Gum – An extract of the mushroom Schizophyllum commune, your skin
benefits from enhanced moisture retention and anti-inflammatory properties.
Tremella
Fuciformis Polysaccharide – This extract of the Snow mushroom strengthens the
skin’s moisture barrier, enhances skin elasticity and improves wrinkles with
its profound moisture-retaining capacity.

Hyaluronic Acid in Anti-Aging Skincare Products
Hyaluronic acid is naturally found in the extracellular matrix of human tissue. Topically applied hyaluronic acid forms an air permeable layer and penetrates into the dermis, thus boosting the elasticity and hydration of the skin. The protective breathable barrier on the skin locks in moisture which gives the skin a youthful appearance.
The cuticular layer of the skin normally contains 10-20% water, however as we age it can drop to below 10%. Hyaluronic acid comes to the rescue with its unique ability to hold more than 1000 ml of water per gram of hyaluronic acid, which is a key factor in allowing the skin to retain more water. Amazingly, hyaluronic acid adjusts its moisture absorption based on the relative humidity in the air. It is the ideal ingredient in skin care products as it adjusts to the skin’s need for a moisturizing effect depending on the relative humidity of seasons and climate of an area. Hyaluronic acid also protects the epidermis by scavenging reactive oxygen species generated by ultra violet light which would normally cause sunspots.
Hyaluronic acid is a major component of skin, where it is involved in tissue repair. When skin is excessively exposed to UVB rays, it becomes inflamed (sunburn) and the cells in the dermis stop producing hyaluronic acid, and increase the rate of its degradation. Hyaluronan degradation products also accumulate in the skin after UV exposure. Hyaluronic acid has tons of medical uses, from treatment of arthritis to wound healing.
As our skin is exposed to environmental pollutants and the sun’s ultraviolet rays, skin cells gradually lose the ability to produce hyaluronic acid. Studies have shown that older skin typically has lower levels of hyaluronic acid than younger skin. As a result, skin tissue becomes dehydrated and the collagen and elastin fibers lose their structure, resulting in a loss of skin volume, formation of the facial wrinkles and folds. When used in skincare, hyaluronic acid dramatically improves skin’s hydration.
As a complex sugar, hyaluronic acid is an excellent humectant. It retains water like a sponge, absorbing more than 1,000 times its weight. By attracting and maintaining water in upper and lower layers of the skin, hyaluronic acid increases skin’s volume and density. Hence the smoothness. Hyaluronic acid is also involved with the transport of essential nutrients to the skin cells and helps prevent age-related loss of collagen and elastin.
