Forever Young facial skin care systemINTRODUCTION
Excessive exposure to sunlight results in numerous and diverse changes denoting premature ageing of the skin or photo-ageing. Other factors apart from the natural ageing process, impact on the skin - temperature, humidity, ultra violet light, nutrition, smoking, the use of alcohol, drugs and stress.

Physical and chemical factors as well as internal biological aspects play a role in the ageing of the skin: the genetic aspects reflected in skin type, hormonal status, autoimmunity are also important.

Outside signs of photo-ageing are visible. The skin can develop wrinkles (due to thinning of the skin), a yellowish-grey colour and/or brown mottling and it develops a leathery dry texture with loss of normal elasticity.

Forever Young facial skin care system - Forever Young TabletsInternally the skin thickness decreases with the flattening of the normal epidermal-dermal zone. In the dermis an increase in ground substance is found together with a deterioration of both collagen and elastin.

Forever Young may have a multifactorial effect by stimulating the fibroblasts which increase collagen and elastin formation, by an increase in intercellular ground substance, the restoration of damaged collagen/elastin fibres or an increased dermal blood flow.

What we do know is that Forever Young works as thousands of women (and many men) will testify.
 

FOREVER YOUNG - Your Skin and it's build up:
To understand the principles behind Forever Young's remarkable ability to regenerate ageing skin you need to know a little about the biochemistry and physiology of the skin.

The skin is composed of connective tissue which is made up of Collagen and Elastin embedded in a gel like ground substance of proteoglycans (PG). Proteoglycans are complexes of specific amino acids and repeating monosaccharide residues forming polysaccaride chains. Each proteoglycan contains many of these polysaccaride chains which, when separated from protein, are known as glycosamino-glycans (GAG). This gel-like ground substance provides skin with its resistance to compression.

The collagen fibres contain a high proportion of the amino acids, glycine, proline and hydroxyproline. The fibres aggregrate or bunch together to form ordered bundles. These bundles are strong and they do not stretch in length so they give skin firmness.

Elastin bundles are similar to collagen, contain less hydroxyproline and they are less ordered so they extend easily and give the skin its elasticity.

When skin is young and healthy its collagen lie in beautifully ordered bundles that are strong yet never rigid. Elastin fibres are similarly ordered yet highly flexible. The collagen and elastin together with GAG form a matrix rather like a sponge which traps water within it to create a smooth, clear, sleek skin, and fine firm contours to the face.

Skin cross-sectionThe uppermost layer of skin, called the epidermis, acts as a protective barrier. The epidermis controls the loss of water from cells and tissues, and without it your body would quickly dehydrate.

Just beneath the epidermis is the second layer of skin, called the dermis. This layer is composed primarily of a protein called collagen. Collagen forms a network of fibers that provides a framework for the growth of cells and blood vessels. As the primary component of the dermis, collagen acts as the support structure for your skin.

Skin has a remarkable ability to renew itself - provided it is supplied with the nutrients it needs to constantly renew the matrix.This ability to renew itself is influenced by the detrimental effect of ultra violet (uv) light, pollutants in food, water and air and free radicals.

Free radicals damage collagen, elastin and GAG and damage occurs at a pace which exceeds the body's natural ability to regenerate the skin. The result is that collagen breaks down and wrinkling occurs, elastin loses its flexibility so sagging occurs and the skins ground substance becomes polluted, disordered and unable to hold moisture.

To counter the damaging effects of 'Free Radicals' all Forever Young products contain OPC's. Real OPC is a powerful antioxidant that can neutralise free radicals quickly. Free Radicals are substances from our environment that attack us and are produced in our body by the action of oxygen. Once they are formed especially in excess they can destroy healthy tissue anywhere in the body. They can increase the rate of ageing of all our tissues - not only in the skin but internally as well. (If you have wrinkles on the outside, you have wrinkles on the inside in your connective tissue as well).

Forever Young facial skin care system  - Forever Young Tablets The combining of the marine concentrate, real OPC's and other essential nutrients such as vitamins A, C, D, E and B complex, minerals including silica together in Forever Young represents state of the art science in preventing skin ageing.

The real OPC's in ForeverYoung not only helps to repair and build new collagen but also protects the existing collagen from the destructive effect of constant exposure to ultra violet light.

Forever Young also contains a unique marine concentrate consisting of protein, polysaccharides and which provides the essential nutrients the living skin cells need to rapidly repair damaged skin.

To obtain the best results it is important to take a Forever Young tablet morning and night for at least 90 days - it takes time for the skin to regenerate itself and for the ingredients in the tablets to work from inside out. About 90 days is the time a new cell takes to move up through the layers of your skin and to come to the surface. As you are re-building your skin. With the help of Forever Young, the new cells are better nourished and your skin will look younger, fresher smoother and silkier.

The Forever Young facial skin care system has been designed to support and enhance the beneficial effect of the tablets. Thus by using the tablets and the other products in the Forever Young range you have a unique svstem which works both inside and outside - beauty from inside out and outside in.

You can have beautiful skin forever and stay looking FOREVER YOU. birdsend.gif - 124 Bytes
