What is Ferulic Acid and why does your skin need it?

skin care benefits of Ferulic Acid - Anti aging products

Ferulic acid is a potent natural, plant-based antioxidant that acts as a self-preserving, protective element for the fruit or plant. It is something that I look to use in an appropriate role in the production of my skin care products. 

It is a naturally occurring AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) which can exfoliate the uppermost layers of skin when formulated correctly and is also part of the hydroxycinnamic acids family – a class of aromatic acids or phenylpropanoids.

Ferulic acid has come into the spotlight due to its free radical scavenging ability and its capability to synergistically boost the effectiveness of other antioxidants, such as Vitamins A, C, and E.

Like other antioxidants, ferulic acid is designed to reduce the aging effects that damaging free radicals have on our skin.

Benefits of Ferulic Acid in Skin Care Products:

  • Ferulic Acid benefits for skinAssists in skin’s regeneration of healthy cells.
  • Supports collagen production
  • Helps to improve the skin’s natural barrier function
  • Brightens the skin, improves texture & evens uneven skin tone
  • Suitable for all skin types – particularly aging and sun damaged skin
  • Works well as a preventative anti-aging product
  • Protects overall skin integrity by reducing the development of fine lines, spots, and wrinkles
  • Helps to stabilise and enhance the efficacy of Vitamin C and E
  • Fights off free radicals!

Why Does Our Skin Loves Ferulic Acid?

Oxidative stress in the skin’s tissue is a key reason why our skin ages. This oxidative stress is caused by free radicals overtaking our skins antioxidant defence and can result in visible signs of aging such as wrinkles, dullness, age spots and loss of elasticity. It’s important to boost the levels of antioxidants in our skin, as they are there to fight free radicals and prevent damage from occurring in the first place.

In one study it suggests that ferulic acid has the potential to offer twice the amount of photoprotection when combined with Vitamins C and E. It was also noted that such antioxidant combinations could reduce someone’s risk of future photo-aging and, possibly, skin cancer, That makes these native limes even more exciting!

 

 

 

Your Neck and Chest – Three Forgotten Culprits

Reverse the damage with skincare

As Spring is here, and girls as we are starting to get into some of those gorgeous strapless tops. You may be noticing that your neck has sagged and chests have wrinkled…

Some of it is age. Some of it is UV exposure or smoking. You may be already using sunblock and you don’t smoke? But you say!! Is there anything more you can do to keep your neck and chest as youthful and taut as possible? Well, my answer is yes, there’s more you can do! Because you can also avoid the:

3 forgotten culprits that age your neck and chest. So what are they?

1. Sports bras
They can push your breasts together, which squeezes the surrounding skin. As your skin is squeezed, the skin on your chest folds and wrinkles. And when skin is repeatedly folded and wrinkled, collagen breaks down and wrinkles can become permanent. It’s similar to the way frowning turns into permanent frown lines. Choose to only wear when required.

2. Your Phone
You have heard me talking about digital pollution previously. Most of us spend a good part of the day on a smartphone. We’re either talking on it, with the phone cradled between the head and shoulder… Or we’re looking downward at the screen. In both positions, the skin on the neck folds and wrinkles. Be mindful not to do this again…

3. Your Sleep Position
You may have heard that sleeping on your side – which presses your face and neck against the pillow – can contribute to facial wrinkles. Yes I personally have used a silk pillow case and have seen some benefit. Sleeping on your side encourages the skin on your chest to compress, which can cause wrinkles between and just above your breasts. The solution? I say sleep on your back it takes a little getting used off, but you can do it. It took me weeks but now It is great.

What else can I do if there is already damaged?

Topical Vitamin C Serum. Our Regenisis with three types of Vitamin C along with A, B3, B5, D and E. Studies show that vitamin C can actually reverse some of the damage caused by UV rays and other environmental factors. How? By eliminating those free radicals that speed up the aging process. So if you already using our Regenisis serum on your face, all you have to do is make sure you’re applying it to your neck and chest, too!

Our NEW Reverse The Damage Value Pack is now available at the discounted price of $95. It contains the Regenisis Vitamin Serum and the Refining Essence, both products perfect for repairing and protecting your face, neck and chest. Click here to order now.

Is your sleeping position causing wrinkles?

Is your sleeping position causing wrinkles?

I have been someone who always seemed to sleep on my right side, until the last few weeks, when I noticed I was getting crease/wrinkle mark on that side, so I thought it was time to treat that area more with massaging. I used a straight Kakadu Plum Concentrated Extract. I Then I applied a vitamin serum and again massaged and finally a rich night cream. As I worked morning and night doing this I noticed a great improvement. Hoorah!!

Satin pillow cases, specially shaped pillows, can also assist. Here’s a practical bottom line approach that won’t drive you crazy!

sleeping position causing wrinklesFirst, accept the fact that most people find it very difficult to change decades of sleep habits, so please don’t beat yourself up over this.

No one….truly…ever died of a sleep wrinkle! most disappear in time. But I did spend more time massaging the skin, as our skin loves massage.

The most effective thing is to try to change your position and your pillow.


Sleep position:

1. You can try to sleep on your back, but many people just can’t. And sleeping on the back can contribute to snoring!

2. If you are a stomach sleeper, you may be able to change to your side, which would be better.

3. Side sleepers may really benefit from experimenting with different pillow sizes and shapes. And “bolstering” with pillows around the body (like many of us did when pregnant) may be helpful, but it’s also not very friendly to sleeping partners!


Pillow cases:

These really don’t make much difference unless you are waking up with wrinkles in the middle of your cheeks. If you are, try a different pillow or case. Forehead sleep lines are usually related to pressure or adrenal stress not the pillowcase itself wrinkling.


 

 

Can you Peel Away the Years at home?

Recapturing your bright, flawless complexion doesn’t have to be complicated… expensive… or painful.

flawless complexionYour skin has a natural ability to repair itself and look fresh and young again. But with every passing day yours and my skin cells renewal does slow down. Dead skin cells pile up. And fresh new skin cells can’t get to the surface.

We find ourselves thinking let’s get a new serum or another moisturizer but this is not always the answer. Why, because quite often what we need is to clear away the buildup of dead cells to make way for new, young skin to develop. I’ve been doing further research and discovered once again Nature provides the best solutions and here’s a few reasons why & how.

1. The best exfoliator to remove these dead cells is a montmorillonite clay.

It has refreshing and detoxifying powers. Research shows it cleanses and absorbs pollutants sitting on the surface of your skin.

As soon as you add water to the minerals in the clay you gather a positive charge. This magnetic energy pulls out dead skin cells, dirt and toxins. It makes them stick to the clay itself. When you wash it away, the impurities are gone. That is what we girls want, isn’t it!!

The clay sloughs off dead cells that cause a rough, dull complexion. It reduces the appearance of blemishes while it smooths, clears and tightens skin. Now next comes the moisture.

2. Skin’s Youthful Moisture

In your youth your skin’s dermis layer is full of a powerful natural moisturizer called hyaluronic acid. HA attracts water from inside and outside your body. In fact, HA can absorb about 1,000 times its weight in water. So Hyaluronic Acid is a must.

3. Bring Back the Youthfulness!

organic anti-aging face maskAs I have shared before telomeres are the keys to aging. These protective caps at the end of each strand of DNA act as the body’s aging clock. Each time a cell divides; the telomeres grow a little bit shorter and they produce older-looking skin. Telomeres get short fast when your skin is exposed to sun, wind, also harsh chemicals and toxins. Hence my love of Organic and Natural ingredients.

Cat’s claw is an amazing herb of the rainforest and research shows that cat’s claw has potent skin beautifying powers. It makes your skin appear younger magically. Cat’s claw can help lines and wrinkles appear smoother, and skin to look more firm and tight. It also means the skin will have vibrant glow as cat’s claw restores your skin’s radiance.

All is paramount for a Bright Flawless Complexion and now all are included in our Advanced Formulation of CELL INFUSE Glow Mask

 

CELL INFUSE No1 Product – STEMULATE

Judy-Mills-CELL-InfuseI am excited today to launch our premium CELL Infuse product, STEMULATE.  It’s been a long time coming, but I know you will say “WOW! I love this.”

STEMULATE has the finest, purest anti-aging ingredients in dense amounts for you to achieve the results you all look for. Containing more than 50 of nature’s best remedies, this is far more than just another jar of cream that does nothing or very little.

I know as a mature woman I am keen to bring back some of the youthful look that I enjoyed just a few years ago. For others of you, each time you look in the mirror and see dull, dry skin, lines, wrinkles, and age spots, it can sap you of confidence just a little more.

We know as women that we want to protect our skin, and we are not on our own. Increasingly, buyers of CELL Infuse products are men, as well as younger people of both sexes who are wisely taking measures early on to protect their skin. I recently heard from a roof tiler who has used our products with great success to restore his skin from the harsh damage inflicted by the sun.

Wrinkles are the hallmark of “getting old”, and they do not discriminate.

When we’re young, our bodies produce enough anti-wrinkle growth factors to keep our skin as smooth as silk. As time progresses, this natural production lessens and the effects become noticeable as we look in the mirror.

Imagine looking in the mirror and telling your skin to get smoother, plumper and younger. Well STEMULATE will start doing precisely that. “How?” you ask.

I have made certain that STEMULATE contains abundant quantities of high-grade apple stem cells that have been scientifically proven to visibly reduce the signs of ageing. their “adaptogenic” qualities focus the goodness where your skin needs it most.

organic skin care ingredientsTest after test has confirmed that this new apple stem cell technology takes anti-aging skin care to an exciting new level. Scientists were shocked to discover that these apple stem cells restore youthful elasticity, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and make the skin look and feel velvety soft.

STEMULATE also contains an abundance of proven skin-replenishing peptides, along with prickly pear, hibiscus, white tea, cats claw, Kakadu plum, Davidson plum, minerals, vitamins and all the beautiful oils, to get that WOW! Factor.

We all know how peptides signal to our skin to make more collagen, resulting in “plumper” skin with the appearance of far fewer lines and wrinkles.

THE PLANT STEM CELL THAT WORKS BEST

apple stem cellsI want to share further why I chose a particular stem cell type as one of the main ingredients. Stem cells actually “reset” ageing skin, none more so than those from the rare Uttwiler Spätlauber apple found in an isolated area of the Swiss Alps.

Scientists noticed that, unlike other varieties, the Uttwiler Spätlauber had an unusually long shelf life. It didn’t shrivel up, like other apple varieties do. But even more astonishing than the fruit’s long-lasting freshness was its remarkable ability to heal.

Could this amazing plant stem cells work just like human stem cells to help  ageing skin? Repair fine lines and wrinkles? And restore firmness and elasticity?

CELL INFUSE STEMULATEAmazingly, the answer was yes!

STEMULATE works for everybody – male or female, every age, every race – because it replaces back into the skin naturally what is required.

Now you see why I am excited to introduce STEMULATE to you. It’s an exciting breakthrough in skincare.
