24-7PressRelease/ - HADDONFIELD, NJ, August 25, 2008 - In the cold light of morning, does your night cream contain broken promises? Your anti-aging skin creams may have excellent active ingredients. But the scientific fact is your skin may be resisting them.
Skin resistance is a common problem which grows more common as skin ages and loses trace minerals.
Researchers explain that major minerals are found in the body in large amounts, but for the skin or body to "metabolize" and respond to the active ingredients in skin creams or internal supplements, microscopic but very vital amounts of trace minerals must be present.
Years ago, trace minerals were considered waste products ("garbage") because they were found in such minute quantities. But biochemists and gerontologists now look at the "garbage" as "gold". They agree their importance internally is enormous. Topically, their importance has been overlooked.
Trace minerals (iron, zinc, selenium, copper, manganese, boron and iodine) have a specific action. They are catalysts that can stimulate new cellular reaction. They carry an electric charge (negative ions) that can overcome skin lethargy.
Skin lethargy or resistance is common after age 40 - after sun, stress, wear and tear and mineral deficiency in foods have led to sluggish cell metabolism, sluggish response and possibly total inertia to even the finest night creams.
Unfortunately, we do not get adequate minerals or trace minerals from the foods we eat or from the standard skin creams with plant extracts.
Researchers maintain that today's soils and plants are enriched with nitrogen, potassium and phosphorous - - and thus, soils, foods and most skin products are short of essential minerals and trace minerals.
Can skin cells with inertia or minimum reactivity be given new energy?
As mentioned, earthen minerals are not the answer. But special sea-sourced minerals are a different story.
In the late 1970s, a small natural skin product company from New Jersey, with distribution in Health Food stores and skin salons, tried to explain the benefits of external trace minerals.
At that time, it was well known that trace minerals internally were effective catalysts. In France, there were a couple of seaweed facial products that spoke about minerals in general. But in the U.S.A., working with a panel of skin salons, New Jersey's Reviva Labs tested the effects of a unique Hawaiian seaweed gel applied - with almost electric-type energy - under active creams and masks.
The skin clinics had their clients who had been using good active-ingredient night creams at home before the test, utilize the gel under the same cream for 4 weeks. The report? A much improved skin condition - - with better texture, improved tone and clarity (probably due to more efficient cell functions that enabled the night cream to perform better.
Of course, not just any seaweed, or any potency, will do.
Used in pure, almost 100% potency, Reviva's special species of Hawaiian Seaweed supplied powerful negative ions and a strong electromagnetic energy for catalytic action.
Research by noted dermatologist Albert Kligman, for the gel ingredient manufacturer, indicated "because electrolytic current goes from negative to positive (epidermis is negatively charged), the seaweed gel stimulated the dermis's positive charge to create a new energy to cell functions."
What made the special species of Hawaiian Seaweed so distinctive?
There are thousands of species of seaweeds. The nutritional and therapeutic values of sea plants depend on various factors such as the powerful ocean tides, the degree of pollution in the seabeds and the water, the amount of sunlight, water temperature and growing seasons. The combination of factors makes this special species of Hawaiian seaweed extract extraordinarily mineral-rich.
Use of Trace Minerals "Flew Under the Radar"
Unfortunately, lack of advertising at the time, limited distribution and lack of public awareness about the importance of trace minerals as well as the special species of Hawaiian seaplant gel, made the product invisible to the general public.
A few years later, Lancôme introduced "Oligo Major" mineral serum and stirred some interest in trace minerals. But soon after, the anti-aging alphahydroxy acids (AHAs) primarily glycolic acid, were introduced and the continued focus and development of new anti-aging ingredients supplanted interest in topical application of minerals and trace minerals.
But if your current skin-care regimen is not producing the results you desire, skin may not be responding to nutrients in your creams because of sluggish epidermal energy.
The missing link may simply be...trace minerals.
