Matis Paris Caviar The Serum

June 25, 2020 by Sarah Dandy

A luxurious elixir with the anti-ageing properties of French Caviar

Paris, May 2020: Caviar, one of the world’s most highly-prized delicacy and the embodiment of absolute luxury, also has precious anti-ageing and mineral-replenishing powers in skincare.

A luxurious treat for the skin, the secret to caviar’s skin-nourishing properties lies in its vitelline, a substance composed of marine phospholipids and phosphoproteins, both of which are essential cell components. Caviar is also the perfect blend of minerals (calcium, magnesium, silicon, etc.), amino acids, fatty acids (Omega 3, DHA) needed for skin cell membrane formation, vitamins (A, E, C, D and B complex vitamins essential for cellular metabolism) and trace elements (zinc). In short, caviar serves up a balanced blend of all the nutritional elements that skin cells need. These nutrients are essential to maintaining the skin’s cellular balance and giving skin cells the ingredients needed to reconstruct membranes. That’s how caviar extract nourishes and hydrates the skin in depth, stimulates collagen production and regenerates cellular structures, resulting in firmer, plumper skin.

MATIS only uses premium, 100% French-sourced caviar and takes the greatest of care in selecting the most eco-responsible caviar available following regulated production methods, stringent specifications and compliance with anti-pollution and animal welfare norms and standards.

The caviar used by MATIS is particularly rich in essential nutrients, especially in plumping and restructuring proteins and amino acids (arginine, histidine, isoleucine, lysine, methionine, etc.), as well as regenerating, anti-oxidant, collagen synthesis-boosting Vitamin C.

Caviar The Serum, is a supreme elixir with caviar at the heart of its formula that offers a global anti-ageing solution and an exquisite sensory experience. Its exceptional formula with caviar is blended with a potent active ingredient that firms the skin and fights wrinkles, helping the skin recover its beauty and firmness.

 

How to use: Apply morning and/or evening on the face, neck and décolleté before your day/night moisturiser.

Gatineau Aquamemory Hydration Collection – Review

November 11, 2019 by Dave Jackson

We at Beauty Fresh thought we’d better give you some inspiration and review the Gatineau Aquamemory Hydration Collection.

The anti-ageing experts at Gatineau have compiled the perfect gift set comprising of three lovely products.

The first product is the Gatineau Aquamemory Moisture Replenish Cream Gel. This Gatineau moisturiser is perfect for night time use. It’s almost a mousse-like texture that allows it to glide on to skin and spread evenly over your face and neck. As with all Gatineau products it smells delightful and feels so luxurious.

With its hydrating, nourishing and restorative properties, it’s the perfect product to cure any skin worries.

The second product in this gorgeous collection is the Gatineau Aquamemory High Hydration Cream Mask. For those of you that are not aware, a hydration mask is essentially a thick moisturiser which you can either wash off after ten minutes or leave on all night. It’s best used at night so you won’t have to worry about your makeup sliding off, but equally you can apply a thin layer during the daytime for a light layer of hydration.

The best thing about hydrating masks is that you can apply them as often as you like.

Unlike moisturisers they absorb quickly, so as soon as your first layer has absorbed, you can keep applying more to build up the hydration intensity. After a few days use, dry and flaky winter skin becomes completely non-existent.

The third and final product is the Gatineau Aquamemory Moisture Replenish Eye Roll-on. This thin, fast-absorbing product is easy to apply and provides the perfect amount of hydration for under-eye skin.

You can apply the product twice a day, once in the morning pre-makeup application and once at night before bed.

The cooling formula penetrates skin almost instantly, meaning your skin won’t feel heavy and clogged. Use daily for bright eyes as well as reduced dark circles and puffiness.

What is a Serum?

Posted: January 15, 2021

Serums are skin care products that are designed to deliver high concentrations of specific active ingredients to the skin. Most often, serums are clear, gel-based or liquid, and they tend to be less thick than a moisturizer. They’re typically applied before moisturizers to help lock in key ingredients. A serum is able to hydrate more […]

INSIDE AQUAMEMORY

Posted: March 4, 2020

Dehydration is one of the main causes of unhealthy and prematurely ageing skin, and with so many external factors effecting the hydration of the skin, is it any wonder that a very high percentage of us have some form of dehydration – some of us without even knowing it! Firstly, it’s important to distinguish between […]

Hyaluronic Acid… Why is it an Anti-Ageing Hero?

October 15, 2019 by Dave Jackson

Which looks younger – dry, dull skin or a hydrated, dewy complexion? The answer, of course, is the latter. We all know how important vitamin A is in reversing the signs of ageing, but it has a companion which takes the effects to a new level: hyaluronic acid.

The chances are your clients will have heard of this super ingredient. Known for its incredible moisture retaining abilities, it’s their skin’s not-so-new best friend. So what exactly is it, and why should you be recommending products that contain this anti-ageing hero?

Take a closer look…

Hyaluronic acid, also known as hyaluron or HA, is part of a group of substances in the skin called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). Their primary purpose is to maintain collagen and elastin by helping them to retain moisture, and this is what hyaluronic acid does best.

It has a unique capacity to hold an astonishing 1000 times its own weight in water, plumping out the skin and reducing the appearance of wrinkles.

Over 70% of our body is made of water, so keeping moisture levels balanced is key to beautiful skin and general wellbeing.

Plump, youthful skin

Hyaluronic acid is naturally present in many areas of the body including joints, tendons and eyes. Around 50% is found in the skin; it’s the main component in the extracellular matrix that holds cells together to form living tissue.

“Hyaluronic acid has a major structural function to keep the dermis at optimum volume because of its amazing ability to hold water and cushion cells like a protective gel”

says ANP founder Dr Des Fernandes.

“This property has an important shock-absorbing function that protects blood vessels and other structures.”

It works in the space between cells by filling the gaps between the collagen and elastin scaffolding, like mortar between bricks. It also has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, so as well as helping to turn back the clock it also has a calming, protective effect.

Restore and Replenish

Although our bodies produce hyaluronic acid naturally, the amount declines as we age so it’s important to replenish by applying it topically and taking it in supplement form. Levels typically start to drop after the age of 40, and you may even have clients over 60 who have none at all. In addition to the intrinsic ageing process, external factors can also deplete levels.

“Hyaluronic acid has a high turnover rate, it only lasts 2-3 days in the skin”

says Dr Fernandes.

“We break down about a third of our hyaluronic acid every day so we can easily fall into a deficit if we expose our skin too much to the sun. UV rays destroy it, this causes a thin skin with poor keratinocyte activity.”

Other external aggressors such as pollution, smoking and alcohol can also degrade hyaluronic acid so it’s important to safeguard levels in order to achieve plump, youthful skin.

Believe the Hype

The anti-ageing effects of hyaluronic acid on skin may seem miraculous, but it’s backed by cold, hard evidence. In fact, there is so much research that a team of scientists undertook a review of the most recent studies and found that it does indeed have impeccable skincare credentials*.

“A thorough analysis revealed that hyaluronic acid based formulations exhibit remarkable anti-wrinkle, anti-nasolabial fold, anti-ageing, space-filling, and face rejuvenating properties”, they stated. “This has been achieved via soft tissue augmentation, improved skin hydration, collagen and elastin stimulation, and face volume restoration. Our critical analysis evidenced that application/administration of hyaluronic acid exhibits outstanding nutri-cosmetic efficacy and thus is warranted to be used as a prime component of cosmetic products.”

Hyaluronic acid is amazing – it’s official.

Size does matter
Topical application is essential, but your clients should be wary – while many brands happily boast about the fact that their product contains hyaluronic acid (sometimes called HA on the ingredients list), they’re less keen to tell you that the molecules are often too big to penetrate the skin. For this reason, it’s important to educate your clients, because hyaluronic acid is available in different molecular weights.

In one study, women aged 30-60 applied a cream containing 0.1% Hyaluronic Acid to the eye area for two months, resulting in significant hydration and elasticity and reduction in wrinkle depth. Crucially, the researchers found that the lower the molecular weight, the better the result.^

Inside out
Taking hyaluronic acid orally has also shown to have huge benefits for skin. In one of many studies, 60 subjects were given 120mg for three months. They all showed significant improvement to wrinkle depth, skin luminosity and suppleness compared to the placebo group.~ Another piece of research confirmed that not only did ingesting it dramatically improve dry skin, it also increased synthesis of the body’s own supply and stimulated cell proliferation in the fibroblasts.¤ Interestingly, a settlement in Japan called Yuzuri Hara has become known as the ‘Village of Long Life’ because over 10% of its inhabitants are aged over 85 (10 times the Western norm).

Most are fit and healthy with amazing skin. Scientists discovered that they eat root vegetables specific to that area which are full of hyaluronic acid, providing further evidence of its incredible youth-boosting properties.

Perfect Partners
In addition to replenishing hyaluronic acid levels topically and orally, it’s important to encourage the body to ramp up production. This is where that other anti-ageing hero comes in – Vitamin A. “We constantly need to replace hyaluronic acid and the most effective way to do that is to ensure adequate levels of Vitamin A in the skin”, says Dr Des Fernandes.

“It’s one of the most powerful stimulants for hyaluronic acid production. This is why we say that Vitamin A is a moisturiser and the moisture that your own body makes using Vitamin A is so much better than anything you could apply.”

So next time you see clients concerned about ageing, a tailor-made skincare regime with hyaluronic acid and Vitamin A is your go-to solution.

It might not the fountain of eternal youth, but it’s possibly the closest we’ll get.

Lift away the years.

March 10, 2019 by Cheryl Clay Leave a Comment

What does Crystal Clear magical wand – Lift Away the Years do?

Lift Away The Years has been compiled to help and improve the visible signs of ageing. This kit harnesses revolutionary sonic technology to firm and smooth the skin, whilst giving a gentle, instant lift. The Lift Away the Years wand has been designed to create skin that appears younger, firmer and more toned. In a study with 30 women, consumers reported a 27% reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and a 45% increase in skin firmness by using the Lift Away the Years by Crystal Clear.

The dual action technology in the Lift Away the Years wand forms the perfect combination in reducing the appearance of ageing skin. The wand uses gentle vibrations to stimulate the muscles in the face while Crystal Clear’s Intense Anti Ageing serum is massaged deeply into the skin, working it’s way through the applicator head allowing for a better and more even application – helping to diminish wrinkles and fine lines.

Lift Away the Years produces an instant anti-ageing effect. Used morning and night as part of your daily moisturising routine, the results will get better and better.

Intense Anti-Ageing Serum uses three incredible ingredients to do such a great job:

  1. Syn-Ake works in a similar way to Botox to relax the muscles which create wrinkles. But unlike Botox, there are no unwanted side effects or downtime.  The results are the same, lines and wrinkles are smoothed!
  2. Bio-peptide CL is a hero in our eyes. It actively restores the dermal matrix, firming and smoothing skin.
  3. Tourmaline (precious stone extract) helps to give skin a lit-from-within glow. It will really brighten up somebody’s day!
