Everything you need to know about de-stressing your skin and hair

Stress isn’t just an annoying by-product of our daily life; it is also a major health and beauty saboteur; it weakens our skin and hair health. Stress frequently goes hand in hand with sleep deprivation, dehydration, and a desire for junk food, which has an adverse effect on our appearance. Whether it’s dark circles under the eyes after a sleepless night or itchy eczema flare-ups brought on by anxiety-inducing situations, there are some typical signs when stress is at play.

Taking care of our bodies, minds, and skin has never been more crucial given all the stress we have been under lately.

Build up your defences
The first step in treating stress-related skin and hair conditions is, of course, learning how to de-stress. But how do you do that? The first step is to try to make changes in your daily life and get rid of stressors, but skincare products can benefit our skin just as much as they do our senses. Aim to find mild products that contain restorative ingredients and that are appropriate for both your skin type and the condition of your skin. In this case, less is more to avoid causing any further skin imbalances.

Join us for some much-needed self-care, are you ready?

ASTACOS® OL50

ASTACOS® OL50 is a powerful antioxidant derived from Haematococcus pluvialis, a freshwater microalga. Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring carotenoid, a red pigment produced by microalgae as a defence mechanism against harsh environmental conditions.


“The red diamond for your skin”


The skin is constantly exposed to internal and external factors that affect its structure, function, and appearance, leading to visible ageing. Environmental factors that harm the skin include smoke, toxins, pollution, and prolonged sun exposure. A major contributor to skin damage is the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance between the activity of free radicals and antioxidants.

Natural astaxanthin is one of the most powerful antioxidants, and as such, it promotes healthy skin ageing. It reduces oxidative stress, enhances the appearance of the skin, and minimises wrinkles and fine lines.

Asyntra® D-Stress*

Asyntra® D-Stress helps in enhancing the effectiveness of CBD and hemp oil. It is a combination that can be used alone or in combination with CBD/Hemp Oil to protect the skin from stress. It is formulated specifically for sensitive skin and will help to reduce inflammation while also enhancing the barrier function.


“The secret to happy and healthy skin”


Asyntra® D-Stress protects Anandamide, the “bliss molecule,” by inhibiting the enzymatic activity of transport enzyme FABP5 and degradation enzyme FAAH, thereby stimulating Anandamide’s healing effects. The healing effect of Asyntra® D-Stress reduces levels of the pro-inflammatory stress marker “Cortisol” while simultaneously strengthening the skin’s barrier function for visibly smoother, more hydrated, and radiant-looking skin.

 

In a nutshell:

  • Maintains hydration through strengthening skin barrier
  • Calms skin redness in rosacea-prone skin subjects
  • Reduces irritation in sensitive skin
  • Reduces skin reactivity & intolerance

LIFTONIN®-QI

Psoriasis is a multi-factorial skin disease for which even today there is still no cure. Imbalance of skin microbiota and an incorrect programming of the cells can be the cause or can aggravate an already psoriatic skin condition, leading to the development of extremely dry, inflamed, and scaly skin. This results in an unsightly skin appearance and discomfort. LIFTONIN®-QI puts the skin’s epigenetic program back into balance, strengthens beneficial skin microbiota and helps tackle the root cause of psoriasis.


“The relief from stress caused
by psoriatic, flaky skin”


Clinical studies have shown that LIFTONIN®-QI significantly increases skin hydration in very dry psoriatic skin. It reduces scaling and perceptibly reduces itching, skin reddening and soothes the skin. It leaves a pleasant skin feeling and helps dry skin.

LIFTONIN®-QI is a water-based extract of the fungus Ganoderma lucidum, an ingredient that has long been used in traditional Chinese medicine.

MYRAMAZE®-ESSENCE

MYRAMAZE®-ESSENCE is a sensocosmetic active ingredient that vitalises the skin thanks to scent molecules. It reinstates the skin’s natural radiance and relaxes skin and mind. Stressed and dehydrated skin can look sallow and dull. If you are also in a depressed mood, this has an additional negative effect on your skin appearance. MYRAMAZE®-ESSENCE activates the bitter taste receptors in the skin, thus reinvigorating it and returning it to a healthy state. Skin becomes relaxed and luminous.


“The feel-good active for stressed consumers”


Clinical studies have shown that MYRAMAZE®-ESSENCE can elicit a more positive mood in persons under stress by instantly lowering levels of stress hormones. It generates exceptional radiance by activating five triggers: it balances facial hydration, reduces redness, brightens, reduces roughness and increases gloss. Furthermore, it strengthens skin barrier and elasticity.

MYRAMAZE®-ESSENCE is a supercritical CO2 extract from the South African resurrection plant Myrothamnus flabellifolia.

PRODEW™ 700*

You have put in the time and effort to make your makeup look smooth, but all of a sudden, your foundation looks patchy, uneven and flaky. Does this sound familiar? Applying makeup to unhealthy, skin and attempting to conceal it can be extremely frustrating. The improvement of skin condition can help in the resolution of make-up issues and contributes to the enhancement of finish and durability.

PRODEW™ 700 is an amino acid derivative blend, highly effective for skin conditioning. It is rich in the amino acid NMF, also known as the natural moisturising factor, which provides profound nourishment to the stratum corneum and contributes to a healthy appearance. It also contains zinc salt of L-pyrrolidone carboxylate (PCA), which helps to reduce the appearance of excess sebum, leaving the skin feeling fresh and moisturized.


“For SkinCaring Makeup Applications”


The condition of our skin varies from day to day due to daily changes caused by hormones, sleeping habits, and circumstances. PRODEW™ 700 improves skin condition, then imparts everyday beautiful make-up appearance. In healthy skin, the turnover of cells is good, and a film of makeup that has been applied shows excellent adhesion and evenness.

The combination of skincare benefits (like skin-conditioning, moisturizing, sebum control), and enhancement of make-up properties (like film adhesion and pigment dispersion in water) is significantly helping to accomplish a destressed and healthy look and long-lasting effect for facial make-up products.

RADICARE®-ECO

An urban lifestyle is exciting, but it also requires us to maintain a good stress balance. Hair and scalp are also daily exposed, in addition mechanical and chemical stress, to ever-increasing air pollution and UV irradiation which are known to induce chemical damage to both hair and scalp. RADICARE®-ECO protects hair and scalp against environmental stress.


“The protection shield for hair and scalp against external stress”


Ex-vivo studies of hair revealed highly significant inhibition of keratin oxidation in all hair layers. Hair integrity was improved without weighing down as seen in conventional conditioner treatment. The gloss of bleached and chlorine-stressed hair was successfully protected. Furthermore, semi- and demi permanent colouration of the hair was significantly boosted.

RADICARE®-ECO is produced using extracts of a medicinal plant with well-known calming effects – lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) – and tender young shoots of barley grass (Hordeum distichon), while it also contains biotechnologically produced a-glucosyl hesperidin.

SK-INFLUX® MB / SK-INFLUX® V MB*

Environmental influences as well as physical and emotional stress can stress out the skin. If the load is too heavy, or continues for too long, the concentration of stress hormones such as cortisol in the body rises. This can compromise the skin barrier, and collagen levels are reduced while sebum production and the number of free radicals increase. The visible consequences include wrinkling, acne, and reddening of the skin.


“The ceramide mixture to
restore your skin barrier”


The ceramide mixture SK INFLUX® (V) MB restores the skin barrier, thus contributing toward improving skin moisturization, and support regeneration of dry skin. Phytosphingosine visibly improves skin blemishes like pimples and acne and prevents further outbreaks of blackheads.

SK INFLUX® (V) MB helps to regenerate and revitalize the skin, improve its visual appearance, and offer anti-oxidative protection.

Tego® Turmerone / Tego® Turmerone ORG*

Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a plant of the ginger family and is native to tropical South Asia. In Ayurvedic practices, turmeric has many medicinal properties, and many use it as a readily available antiseptic for cuts, burns, and bruises. It is also well-known and used as an antibacterial agent.


“A strong coach for the skin’s
defence mechanisms”


TEGO® Turmerone (ORG) is a natural plant extract based on a molecular distillation process, which has significant antioxidant activity. In vitro studies show that it activates endogenous cellular defence mechanisms against oxidative stress. As oxidative stress is one of the parameters which can lead to skin ageing, it is important to increase the components of the body’s inherent anti-oxidative system.

TEGO® Turmerone (ORG) provides antioxidant protection against free radicals and oxidative stress. This reduces wrinkling, ensures an even-toned complexion, and gives a radiant glow to the skin.
