The Importance of Vitamin C: Health Benefits and Skin Care

Friday, April 13th, 2012

Chances are that at some point in your life, someone has told you that vitamin C is good for you. Well, you know what? They were right. But do you know why?

What is Vitamin C?

Vitamin C – also known as ascorbic acid – is an antioxidant, as we learned last week. It is also one of the world’s safest and most important nutrients, necessary for the growth, development and repair of all body tissues.

Vitamin C is involved in several body functions, including the formation of collagen, absorption of iron, the immune system, wound healing, and the maintenance of cartilage, bones, and teeth.

Health Benefits of Vitamin C

According to recent research, vitamin C offers several health benefits in the following areas:

  1. Stress: A recent study found vitamin C to be beneficial to individuals whose immune system was weakened due to stress.
  2. Colds: While vitamin C is not a cure for the common cold, several studies have shown it to help reduce the risk of more serious complications, such as pneumonia and lung infections.
  3. Stroke: One study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that those with the highest concentrations of vitamin C in their blood were associated with 42% lower stroke risk than those with the lowest concentrations.
  4. Aging: An American Journal of Clinical Nutrition study examined links between nutrient intakes and skin aging in 4,025 women aged 40-74 and found that those with high vitamin C intakes experienced a lower likelihood of wrinkles, fine lines, and dry skin.

Vitamin C and Your Skin

Vitamin C is just one of many antioxidants that help protect you against the damaging effects of free radicals, which are molecules that can negatively affect your skin and other vital parts of your body. Other benefits of vitamin C include:

  • Scientific data have shown that Vitamin C will help increase the amount of collagen production in the skin.
  • Vitamin C is also a natural anti-inflammatory, which can help reverse some of the effects of sun damage.
  •  By increasing the amount of collagen in the skin, the look of fine lines can be reduced.

Plantogen® products combine some of Mother Nature’s well known healers such as Manuka Honey, Chamomile, Jojoba, Aloe Vera, fruit oils, herbs, Vitamin A derived Retinol and antioxidants, like Vitamin C. Some of the Plantogen® products that utilize the healing powers of vitamin C include: Plantogen® Foaming Cleanser for Oily/Combination, Plantogen® Anti Aging Cream Cleanser, Plantogen® Skin Bright Gentle Microdermabrasion, Plantogen® Hydrating Moisturiser for Normal/Dry, Plantogen® Skin Brightening Anti Aging Moisturiser, and Plantogen® Overnight Stress Repair.

All Vitamin C in Plantogen is encapsulated in liposomes to help prevent oxidation or degeneration of the Vitamin C and allowing for targeted delivery.

The Benefits of Vitamin C

How do Antioxidants Help us Look Younger?

Friday, April 6th, 2012

Fine lines and wrinkles. They are a woman’s worst nightmare. They are also a natural part of aging. But why?

The truth is that no one knows exactly why we age or why we age at different rates. There are, however, a few theories about this, including:

1.   Aging is caused by accumulated injuries from ultraviolet light, “wear and tear” on the body, by-products of metabolism, etc.

2.   Aging is a predetermined, genetically controlled process.

3.   Most gerontologists (people who study aging) feel that aging is the cumulative effect of the interaction of many lifelong influences, such as diet, exercise and leisure, past illnesses, etc.

Each person ages at a unique rate, as the regeneration properties of the skin decreases. And as these regenerative properties decrease, skin begins to lose moisture, tension, and elasticity.

But you can fight these physiological signs of aging with the help of moisturizers and cleansers with active ingredients, such antioxidants! Products like these can help the skin improve its water binding properties and its regeneration capability.

What are Antioxidants and how do they help?

Antioxidants refer to a group of compounds that fight free radicals.

Free radicals are molecules – formed through a natural process called oxidation – which wreak havoc on living cells, negatively affecting your skin and other vital parts of your body. These free radicals can be caused by any number of factors, from smoke and pesticides to sun exposure.

Antioxidants – like Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Catalase, and Beta Carotene – help neutralize the effects of free radicals, preventing them from doing damage to your skin.

Moisturizers and Cleansers with Antioxidants

Plantogen® products combine some of Mother Nature’s well known healers such as Manuka Honey, Chamomile, Jojoba, Aloe Vera, fruit oils, herbs, Vitamin A derived Retinol and antioxidants. Three of these products are Plantogen®’s Anti Aging Cream Cleanser, Skin Brightening Anti Aging Moisturizer, and Skin Bright Gentle Microdermabrasion.  

Plantogen® Recommended Daily Skin Care Regimen

1.   First, use Plantogen®’s Anti Aging Cream Cleanser (daily). Apply a small amount of the cleanser into palm of hand. Apply the cleanser to your face and massage. Then wash off any excess with a warm wash cloth or sponge.

2.   Next, apply Plantogen®’s Skin Brightening Anti Aging Moisturizer (daily). Massage the moisturizer onto your face, avoiding the delicate eye area.

3.   Then, use Plantogen®’s Skin Bright Gentle Microdermabrasion (periodically). Use Skin Bright Gentle Microdermabrasion weekly on normal to dry skin and every 4 days on oily and combination skin. Apply a small amount onto your palm and apply to the face, avoiding the eye area. Then wash off any excess with warm water.

At Plantogen®, we know the anti-aging potential of Green Tea, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Retinol, and other antioxidants in neutralizing the effects of skin damaging free radicals.

Manuka Honey and Acne Treatment

Friday, March 23rd, 2012

Acne. It is something we have all had to deal with in varying degrees throughout our lives. To some, it is a sporadic annoyance, popping up every now and then at the worst possible times. To others, acne is a perpetual problem, plaguing the skin with little signs of relief.

If you have ever had to deal with acne, you know just how much of a struggle it can be. You try product after product, each claiming to offer a miraculous cure, but each failing to provide the results you desire.

If only there was a better way…

Well, have you tried honey?

Plantogen Pure Manuka Honey Active w Blackcurrant

I know, it sounds crazy, but Active Healing Manuka Honey has the ability to destroy a large number of bacteria especially, Staphylococcus aureus and Propiobacterium acnes, common causes of acne. Regular facials with such products as Plantogen® Pure Manuka Honey Active w Blackcurrant, Plantogen® Pure Manuka Honey Active, and Plantogen® Manuka Honey Mask with Hops can help reduce blemishes without over-drying or aggravating your skin.

Who knew honey could do all that?

Manuka honey is the most researched, most powerful medicinal honey on the market today. It is clinically proven to cure wounds, infections, ulcers and other skin conditions, such as acne. This is because Manuka honey is a natural antioxidant. As such, it supplies cells with a wide range of vitamins, amino acids, and minerals while providing white blood cells with the necessary glucose to destroy bacteria.

Healing Manuka Honey has the ability to improve cellular regeneration, thus improving skin texture and skin smoothness while also promoting collagen production.

At Plantogen®, we offer several products that utilize the healing power of Manuka Honey to help better control your acne (mentioned above). Our products combine some of Mother Nature’s well known healers such as Manuka Honey, Chamomile, Jojoba, Aloe Vera, fruit oils, herbs, Vitamin A derived Retinol and the antioxidants Green Tea, Vitamin C and E. Many of these ingredients provide visible and tangible improvements in skin tone and appearance, while others provide a soothing aroma that can assist in a feeling of relaxation and mental well being.

Can Manuka Honey Get Rid of Acne?

Skincare Tips for the Neck

Friday, March 16th, 2012

Every day, you meticulously go through your skincare routine. You cleanse and moisturize the skin on your hands, arms, legs, and, of course, your face. After all, what else is there?

Well, what about your neck?

Overexposure to the sun and the lack of an effective skincare routine leave your neck looking less than desirable. In fact, without proper care your neck is sure to prematurely display some of the most telltale signs of aging, like wrinkles, dry skin, vivid horizontal lines, and lack of elasticity.

Reasons Not to Neglect Your Neck

1.   Your neck muscle (Platysma) is not connected to the bone structure and thus quite prone to lose its elasticity.

2.   Your neck has less fatty tissue and sebaceous glands than your face, making the skin on your neck less resistant to dryness and wrinkles.

Because of this, your neck requires daily skincare treatment to maintain its natural firmness and smoothness and to prevent drying.

Plantogen® Recommended Skincare Regimen for Your Neck

Every morning, Don’t ignore the important neck area. After a through cleansing with  Plantogen® Purifying Cleanser apply Hydrating Moisturiser , an intensive hydrating moisturizer packed with plant extracts, vitamins and anti-oxidants. This power packed burst of antioxidants includes natural Manuka Honey, Green Tea and Chamomile extracts, Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Wheat Germ Oil, Apricot Kernel Oil, and Lecithin. The moisturizer will help diminish fine lines, reduce the signs of premature aging and relieving dryness. You should feel an immediate change to your skin – softer, smoother and firmer. Apply this moisturizer every day.

 

Every evening- This is the time to indulge in an extra rich product to hydrate, protect and renew the skin when you are sleeping. Take a generous amount of Overnight Stress Repair, rub into the palm of your hand and then apply using an upward motion [ try not to pull down on the skin ] and massage in the rich cream.

Tips for Caring for the Area Around Your Eyes

Friday, March 9th, 2012

The skin around your eyes is ten times thinner than the skin on the rest of your face. Because of this, and because the skin around your eyes is constantly in motion (blinking alone produces 10,000 movements per day), your eyes tend to be the first place on your body to show the signs of aging.

This can be further aggravated by stress, excessive sun exposure, smoking, and other environmental factors.

Tips to Keep the Skin Around Your Eyes Looking Healthy

  • Drink Plenty of Water: Water plays an important role in moisturizing and maintaining the elasticity of your skin.
  • Avoid Smoking: Nicotine constricts blood vessels in the face and under the eyes, making it difficult for nutrients to be absorbed. This leads to a breakdown of collagen.
  • Stay Out of the Sun: Ultraviolet rays are responsible for up to 90% of aging and can add several years to your appearance. Overexposure to ultraviolet rays causes melanocytes, the pigment-producing cells, to abnormally mature.
  • Wear Sunglasses to Avoid Squinting: Squinting puts unnecessary stress on the skin around your eyes, leading to the formation of wrinkles.
  • Get Plenty of Rest: Fatigue negatively affects the look of your skin, causing it to look increasingly pale.
  • Limit Alcohol Intake: Excessive drinking can lead to dehydration.
  • Use a Quality Skin Care Product: The tissue around the eyes has very few oil glands, and because of this, it lacks adequate natural moisture. This is why utilizing the right skin care products is crucial in your fight against aging.

The skin care experts here at Plantogen® have developed two skin care products specifically designed to lessen the effects of fatigue and aging around the eyes – Plantogen® Eye Lift and Corrective Eye Gel.

 

Plantogen® Eye Lift

Incorporating advanced GABA active technology, extracts of Vitamin C rich Australian Kakadu Plum & Licorice Root, Plantogen® Eye Lift cream helps minimize the appearance of fine lines and increases skin hydration.

How to Use: Use daily after cleansing. Pat gently around fine lines at corner of eye. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. If product gets into the eyes flush with water. If irritation persists, contact you doctor.

 

Plantogen® Corrective Eye Gel

Plantogen Corrective Eye Gel is a hydrating and soothing eye gel that helps to minimize the appearance of wrinkles and dry lines around the eye area. It acts on ‘bags’ under the eyes to lessen the signs of fatigue. Plantogen® Corrective Eye Gel promotes suppleness and makes the skin feel smooth.

How to Use: Use daily after cleansing. Pat gently under eye area, with fingertips.

Benefits of Using a Night Use Product

Friday, March 2nd, 2012

Plantogen Overnight Stress Relief

Throughout the day, our bodies undergo a tremendous amount of stress. From getting the kids ready for school in the morning and scrambling to find the time to get ourselves ready, to coming home after a long day of work to cleaning and cooking…we barely have time to breathe. By the time night rolls around, we want to do little more than just fall into bed and drift off into a deep sleep.

But nighttime is the perfect time to renew and refresh both the mind and body.

While most of us have our daytime skincare down to a science, many completely neglect nighttime skincare. However, it is during the night that our bodies and, most importantly, our skin regenerate. In fact, skin regenerates three times faster at night than during the day, with cellular renovation activity reaching a peak between 2am and 4am.

Because of this, it is important to help boost this reparative activity. This is where night use products, like nighttime creams, can really come in handy.

The Role of Night Use Products

If you are looking to moisturize, a day cream will work just fine. But if you want to help repair damaged, aged skin, a night cream is a must.

  • Applying night cream as early as age 25 helps to slow down the effects of aging.
  • The main benefit of nighttime skincare products is their ability to fight free radicals, repair damage caused during the day, and fight the outward signs of aging.
  • Anti-aging night creams have been known to be more effective than day creams.

Plantogen’s Overnight Stress Repair

After a thorough cleansing and exfoliation, applying Plantogen’s Overnight Stress Repair can help relieve the stresses of that day and improve the appearance of tired, stressed skin. A rich cream with Manuka Honey, Lecithin, Chamomile extract, Vitamin C and Retinol, Overnight Stress Repair helps improve the appearance of tired, stressed skin.

How to Use: Use every night after cleansing. It is rich and heavy for big moisture and a repair boost to tired skin

You can have great skin like these superb movie stars as well.

Below we will discuss some Plantogen skin care products make-up artists use regularly to provide exceptional skin care needs to their clients:

The Moisturizing Benefits of Plantogen Skin Oil

Skin oil can add a great sheen to your skin but it can be messy. To resolve this messy dilemma, add a few drops of oil to your bathwater. Allow your body to soak and then towel yourself off.  This will provide your skin the right amount of moisturizing benefits without transferring the oil to your clothes. A great body oil to use is Plantogen Manuka Skin Oil, an ideal anti-aging supplement that contains high content of plamitoleic acid. The product is non-irritating, fragrance free and improves skin hydration in only 7 days.

Pour a small amount upon your hands and apply in gentle upward movements for best results.

Also the Plantogen Gentle Facial Scrub contains Jojoba beads with spherical and smooth shapes, which provide effective exfoliation without irritating your skin, so it is ideal for anyone concerned with redness and irritation .

Many mass market exfoliation products are considered as very abrasive and cause redness…not the case with Plantogen Gentle Facial Scrub.

Use this cleanser with water and cotton pads for best results. Follow up with a moisturizer.

Eye Fatigue Removal

As we all age, the appearance of wrinkles and dry lines around our eye area is inevitable but a makeup artist could use corrective eye gel to smooth out the skin around our eyes and minimize the appearance of wrinkles and dry lines.

The Benefits of Manuka Skin Oil

Friday, February 10th, 2012

Plantogen® Manuka Skin Oil. Improved skin hydration in only 7 days !

Pure plant oils have been used since the beginning of time for their ability to treat, heal and soothe the body,  skin and even the mind through stress relief applications.

Whether your skin is dry, damaged, or oily, you will find that a plant oil can help restore your natural radiance. Unlike mineral oils which cover the skin with a waterproof film that can clog pores and produce unwanted effects, these oils actually help to nourish and heal your skin.

An excellent product to use on your skin is Manuka Skin Oil. This article will tell you about the essential oils of Manuka Skin Oil and how these essential oils help with skin care.

About Manuka Skin Oil

Manuka Skin Oil is comprised of a unique combination of four essential oils. Theses oils are Macadamia, Jojoba, Sandalwood, and Manuka. Each of these essential oils does their unique job to care for your skin. Here are some of the ways these essential oils care for your skin:

Macadamia oil is the base of Manuka Skin Oil.  Macadamia oil has high levels of Palmitoleic acid, which is anti-aging antioxidant. Palmitoleic acid is found in younger skin but diminishes as the body ages. Research has suggested that palmitoleic acid could assist in cell rejuvenation that helps heal skin and reduce dermatitis and eczema. The results of Macadamia oil are amazing!

Jojoba Oil is another oil base in Manuka Skin Oil. Jojoba oil has properties similar to natural skin oil that unclog pores, and lift residue and imbedded impurities. Jojoba also helps inflamed skin conditions such as acne, psoriasis, couperosis, and eczema.

Sandalwood oil is also important in Manuka Skin oil. Sandalwood is a superb skin cleanser that can be used for facial oil, bath oils, lotions and creams. It treats chapped, dry, and sensitive or inflamed skin. It is , non-irritating oil for the skin.

Last but not least, Manuka essential oil is used in Manuka Skin oil. Manuka essential oil is extracted from the leaves of the native New Zealand Manuka tree. Manuka oil has unique antibacterial, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties, which help fight microorganisms that cause irritation and blemishes.

All of these essential oils have demonstrable healing properties to combat skin aging. This is Manuka Skin Oil is a wonderful skin care product for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

Skin Care Usage

Manuka Skin oil is recommended for anyone with dry, flaky or itchy skin on any part of the body, especially the face, elbows and legs. Use it daily for 7 days and witness a return to smoother, more radiant looking skin. We have found that even people who suffer from Acenic skin and take potent retinoids and benzoyl peroxide products to treat their acne end up with a double problem- redness, irritation and flakiness coupled with their acne. This is quite often due to the harshness of the chemicals in the acne products. We recommend adding the Manuka Skin Oil to the regimen as the Manuka natural antibacterial qualities help fight the acne bacteria while the combination of oils help relieve the dryness and irritation.
