FAQ Cosmeceuticals…….
What are cosmeceuticals?
Cosmeceuticals are formulas that when topically applied to the
skin have therapeutic, disease fighting or healing properties.
What do they do?
- They prevent the
breakdown of collagen and elastin, proteins that maintain the
structrual integrity of tissues.
- Enhance healthy
cell proliferation
- Facilitate tissue
repair
- Increase skin
hydration. Hydration is the key to our potent anti-aging
cosmeceuticals.
What are they made
of ?
Cosmeceuticals are made from both chemicals and/or vitamins and
botanical/plant extracts.
Is there a difference?
Oh yes, a big one. Our on-going and constant exposure to a myriad
of chemicals have contributed in a big way to the degeneration
of our largest and most precious organ our skin. Harmful chemicals
accelerate damage as we age, unless we neutralize and correct
it. High quality vitamins, anti-oxidants
and botanical extracts offer cosmeceutical
nutritional skin care which not only prevents further damage put
actually improves existing skin conditions.
Are there other
causes of skin degeneration?
Yes sun exposure is the #1 reason our skin (especially on our
faces) pre-maturely ages. The sun causes massive amounts of free-radical
damage that leads to wrinkling, hyperpigmentation and inflamation.
Can you give me
an example of how cosmeceuticals work?
Sure...a good example of a proven and very potent cosmeceutical
is Vitamin C. The internal benefits of Vitamin C have been long
touted as a wonder vitamin because of its capability of boosting
the immune system, healing wounds and staving off colds. Now...Vitamin
C is donning it’s ‘Super-Hero’ cape in the name of nutritional
skin care ...or cosmeceutical use.
It has recently proven itself as a premier anti-oxidant that when
transdermally (through the skin) applied can reverse visible signs
of skin aging, enhance collagen production and protect skin from
the harmful effects of sun damage.
WOW ! Why has it
taken so long for Vitamin C to be used for nutritional skin care?
Because, just recently new techniques have been developed for
producing Vitamin C in a topical stabilized form permitting penetration
into the skin in concentrations 20-40 times higher than you can
get from diet or supplements.
What else does topical
Vitamin C do?
It stimulates collagen production, and collagen plumps up the
skin, further reducing signs of aging.
Do Sensé cosmeceuticals
have vitamin C?
Yes...all of the Sensé products contain a patented Vitamin C complex
called Proteo C . Check it out.
Does Sensé have
other vitamins in it’s products?
Yes...Sensé cosmeceuticals are loaded with nutritious vitamins,
anti-oxidents and botanical extracts formulated to deliver results
second to none.
