HYALURONIC ACID
FROM THE VILLAGE OF
LONG LIFE IN JAPAN
The magic
buzz words “Hyaluronic
Acid” have made the voyage from a tiny Japanese village to an
story on Prime Time titled: "Fountain of Youth — today’s explosion
in the skin care field". Researchers have found long life and
beautiful wrinkle free skin in a tiny Japanese village where many
people have lived healthy lives and are over one hundred years
old.
A well-known Doctor
who has written books on longevity found that the high levels of
local starches in their diet helped to stimulate the body’s
natural creation of a substance called hyaluronic acid. Even
villagers who are over eighty years old and were in intense sun
all their lives were wrinkle and age spot free.
Do you think this is
something magical or a new discovery? Not at all, it’s as
old as the beginning of our time. Why is
hyaluronic acid so important to our skin, and where does it
come from? When we are born hyaluronic
occurs in virtually all tissues and fluids. Skin is the
largest reservoir of body HA, containing more than 50% of it in
the total body. The HA is in both the epidermis and dermas and is
critical for skin hydration. It is unfortunate that we lose this
essential ingredient in our skin as we age. Profound
dehydration is a serious problem not only for aging skin but also
skin that has been burned and for those who have acute acne and
dermatitis. The constant inflammatory process leads to decreased
function of the skin barrier, accompanied by loss of skin
moisture.
People who live in
the Southern states are particularly vulnerable to hot and dry
weather, especially those who consistently abuse their skin
participating in outdoor sports. Skin experiences large amounts of
moisture loss when it is exposed to external trauma of sun
exposure. HA is a key molecule involved in skin moisture and
therefore a natural moisturizer of the skin. It is a must for skin
hydration.
Take heart. There is
help for those of you who want to have soft, hydrated skin. You
can now enjoy a new hyaluronic skin
care crème, Hydra-Llure, by Transformé.
This product is available in the Transformé
advanced product online catalog. What is even more
exciting is that this product is available with two of the most
popular Transformé Skin Care products: Extra Strength Collagen
Crème and Epidermal Growth Factor Crème. These three are now
available in the
Transformé Anti-Aging Kit for Mature Skin
Care. When all three are purchased together,
the price is just $99.95, which is a saving of $20.00 off the cost
of each product bought separately.
