Your skin is made up of 75% Collagen – How to Increase Collagen Production

I never stop “researching the research” and today I want to talk more about increasing Collagen production.

Collagen is the most plentiful protein in the skin, that makes up 75% – 80% of our skin.

In another article “Can we Halt the Deterioration of Collagen?” I spoke about the effects of Collagen deterioration and how it impacts significantly on our ability to become a Super Ager.

3 ways to Increase Collagen Production in Your Skin

I am so very passionate about how we can increase Collagen in our skin and that is why I added the Collagen Elixir to the CELL Infuse range of products.

The Collagen Elixir, with a number of Plant Extracts, is 100% natural having gone through a unique extraction process to keep the Elixir very potent and active, and also to retain one of the highest sources of Vitamin C available.

It is also packed with powerful polyphenols and their derivatives. These extracts are changing the direction of natural skincare enormously.

In addition to Vitamin C, Here are two other ways to help rebuild Collagen…

Tone Your Skin with this Heart Nutrient…

Many people think of CoQ10 as a supplement you take orally. But you can also use it topically.

You see, CoQ10 is a small molecule that easily penetrates the skin’s surface. It gets down to the living layers of the epidermis. It absorbs quickly into your skin cells. A Japanese study found that applying CoQ10 to skin cells boosts the production of a special type of collagen that connects your skin’s outermost epidermis layer to its deeper dermis.

It anchors your skin so it doesn’t sag and wiggle around. It visibly reduces crow’s feet and wrinkles.

Rose Hip Oil contains retinoic acid. It can help tighten skin and improve elasticity. It also helps reverse collagen damage.

In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, daily use of retinoic acid increased collagen production by 80%.

Vitamin C

As I have said on many occasions, one of the best ways to replenish lost collagen is Vitamin C. Duke University researchers found that Vitamin C boosts Collagen production regardless of age.

And the best source of Vitamin C that I’ve found for your skin is Camu Camu. It helps rebuild collagen to firm your skin and smooth fine lines and wrinkles. I enjoy Camu Camu in a powder form. Look for it online and in your health food store.

I like to add the dried powder to my Protein shake of a morning. Start off slowly then increase over time. It is considered we can consume up to 3,000 mg a day from supplements and food and that will help to produce Collagen to repair and rebuild your skin.

CELL Infuse Rejuvenol 3 Pack

Today I have put three powerful Collagen building products together for you to see the benefits of increased Collagen production personally. The CELL Infuse Rejuvenol 3 pack is the ideal combination of products to strengthen and repair, returning firmness, elasticity and youthfulness. Read More about this fantastic combination of products here.

Do you use an anti-aging cleanser?

It took me to formulate and test approximately 20 cleansers before I settled on our CELL INFUSE Hydrating Cleanser with Lime Caviar. I wanted an anti-aging one that would not leave the skin dry, and at the same time assist collagen.

Many people think a good cleanser is not important. However, when you can acquire one with great properties I would say it is one of the most essential parts of your skincare regime. This is because it cleans deep down and helps you effectively fight the signs of aging.

All our products are tested in the field for at least two months before being released.

CELL INFUSE Organic Cleanser is one of the most gentle and advanced cleansers available. It penetrates more effectively without drying out your skin. It’s luxurious and hydrating when applied and removes mascara without stinging your eyes. It also has numerous anti-aging benefits & helps repair damaged skin and heals wounds.

I just love the feel as I apply it onto my skin. When I wash it off, my skin feels refreshed, firm and radiant. This quality is no accident – as when I was developing this product I formulated over 20 plus cleansers and put them all aside because I was not happy with the results.

I also included two Australian Native extracts to enhance the collagen effect – Kakadu plum and Finger lime caviar. These are combined with pomegranate, elderberry, honeysuckle, rosemary extract, and more to give you a complete formulation. Let’s have a look at two of the Native Extracts.

Elderberry Extract benefits:

Infused with intense anti-aging and free-radical fighting properties.
Elderberries keep your skin radiant and healthy for a long time.
It is the perfect skin tonic, particularly for dehydrated mature skin.
Helps keep away distressing skin conditions like breakouts, boils, and scars at bay.

Finger lime assists your skin in a range of powerful ways:

Helps with the absorption of vital ingredients into the skin.
Hydrates your skin by binding onto water molecules.
Safeguards your skin from damage by providing anti-oxidant protection.
Fights aging by supporting the production of collagen.
Rejuvenates your skin by helping new cells to grow.

What a great start to your skincare regime, paramount in preparing your skin for the next product.

Determining Your Future Face!!

Knowing not only when, but how our skin is going to age is the key to preventing fine lines, wrinkles and sagging.

We all have that crystal ball at our disposal; all you have to do is look at your family tree.

Look to your parents to see your aging pattern.

There is a genetic component to aging, and most people resemble a parent. For the most part, the daughter’s age like their mothers and sons age like their fathers. Everyone has the weakest link in their genetic chain; for each person, there are certain features that will age more than others. This family aging trait is your predictable pattern of aging.

Once you’ve identified those features, you can apply that insight to your own skin. I would advise you to divide their face into three zones: the forehead, eye area and lower face. Each of these zones has its own predictable course.

As you begin to lose collagen, it manifests as different issues—fine lines, creases, wrinkles, sagging—depending on where your face is most vulnerable.

With that in mind, let’s plan your zone-by-zone defence.

Forehead

The top zone of your face includes your forehead and brows. On your forehead, you’ll see horizontal lines running all the way across, while the brows show the “11’s”—vertical lines between the brows.

Eyes

This zone includes the wrinkles around the outer corners of your eyes—known as crow’s feet—and the laxity of the skin underneath the eyes and eyelids.

Lower Face

The bottom zone encompasses your mouth, jaw and chin. Aging in the mouth area includes lip lines, nasal labial folds and marionette lines (the lines that extend from your lower lip down to your chin. The big issues with the jaw and chin are sagging and jowls.

The majority of wrinkles are caused by general wear and tear—like raising your brow or squinting. Sagging and drooping are due to collagen loss. The progression of these problems follows a predictable, standard pattern. Take forehead wrinkles, for instance. In your 20’s, your forehead is smooth. In your 30’s, you’ll notice that when you raise your brow, fine lines will appear across your forehead, but they disappear when you release your brow. As you age, those lines appear permanently and become deeper. It’s the same for squint lines, which go from temporary to permanent.

How quickly and severely your wrinkles and sagging appear goes back to predictability. Based on your genetics, you’ll have more vulnerability in your weakest zone, which will make you more susceptible to excess wear and tear in that area.

Depending on which zone your problem area will fall in, your approach will be different.

To promote collagen production and keep your skin firmer longer, look for potent, active ingredients like Native Extracts, (often 60 times stronger than say Vitamin C) Stem cells and Peptides. These will minimize the aged areas, it will take much longer for those wrinkles and creases to manifest.

Predictability teaches us that the best anti-aging strategy is anticipating your aging pattern, identifying your specific skin weaknesses, and intervening before it’s too late.

While you may not have any control over your genetics, you do have the power to slow down the aging process by attacking problems before they become permanent.

Our Age-Defy Pack

Our Age Defy Pack contains two favourite products:

CELL Infuse Daytime – Defense and Repair
CELL Infuse Organic Collagen Elixir

These products will help you fill out those lined, troubled areas on your face. They are Anti-Aging and Collagen Enhancing, which will help brighten and moisturise your skin.

Do you use a BB Cream? Would you like to know why I started to?

If you’re not already using a BB cream, here’s why you should

For a truly youthful look, I realized I had to expand my facial regimen to include an Organic BB Protective Cream. Through my thorough research, I understood that by adding a BB Cream to my regimen it would a make difference to the overall look I wanted to achieve. So, I formulated and designed CELL Infuse Organic Protective BB Cream.

Our Organic Protective BB Cream has a few key benefits:

1. It Colour balances your skin for an even tone. This was paramount for me to achieve, to smooth the skin for a radiant finish.

1. It provides an ultra-efficient makeup base and tint with colour correction, and also gives lots of hydration and protection. The best thing you can do for your skin is to keep it hydrated. Well-hydrated skin is softer and smoother… showing fewer lines and creases. Protection from the sun is also vital. We all need the crucial 10-15 mins a day for a healthy level of Vitamin D, but beyond that excessive exposure causes ageing, serious ageing. So, you need to protect your skin!

I have added Aloe Vera and vegetable glycerin as they are two natural moisturisers which help to heal and smooth the skin. I then included Carrot Seed Oil and Elderberry Extract. Organic Carrot Seed Oil is an antiseptic, disinfectant, detoxifying, antioxidant, anti-carcinogenic, carminative, depurative, diuretic, blood flow stimulant and cytophylactic tonic. A powerful addition. Organic Elderberry Extract gives a natural boost to the radiance of the skin.

Here’s why you should use an Organic BB Cream….

Many existing BB creams contain toxins and harmful ingredients. If you use something every day and it contains toxins, those toxins will accumulate because your body does not know how to deal with them. Choose Organic always! It’s much safer and you will decrease the signs of ageing, plus there will be no nasties causing imbalances in your skin.

Most of the women I know get a big thrill when somebody guesses their age as much younger than it truly is. A single 5-year reduction in age can put a smile on their face for days. After all, who doesn’t like to find themselves on the receiving end of a compliment like that?

Even I get a kick out of the times I’m told I look younger than my years. It’s simple human nature. We feel young, we think young, we act young and we want to continue to LOOK young – for as long as possible. So after complimenting your skincare regimen with our CELL Infuse Organic BB Cream, you will have your skin looking smooth and radiant wherever you go – and those compliments will be flowing!! I encourage you to take this rewarding step as I have done.

Here’s to more beautiful skin,
Judy & Team

Can We Halt the Deterioration Of Collagen?

The effects of collagen deterioration include loss of skin firmness, elasticity, and hydration, which in turn cause wrinkles, sagging, and loss of tone.

Collagen deterioration impacts significantly on our ability to become a Super Ager.

Our Regenisis Vitamin Serum is packed with three (3) types of Vitamin C and also the ingredient “Gotu Kola” that fights collagen deterioration. Together they are a potent and essential part of the collagen-building process.

HOW?

Vitamin C stimulates collagen synthesis in fibroblasts, the process by which damaged collagen is replaced with new, healthy collagen.

In studies, extended exposure to Vitamin C caused an eight-fold increase in collagen synthesis. And an increase in healthy collagen means firmer, smoother skin for you.

Vitamin C also shuts down the enzymes that cause collagen to deteriorate.

Gotu Kola is another mighty plant with active compounds that back up vitamin C. This plant’s power compounds aid in fibroblast production and improves the strength of newly formed skin.

And Vitamin C and Gotu Kola together are just so effective below your skin…

The other extracts in Regenesis combine with these two wrinkle-defying champions significantly improve skin firmness, elasticity and hydration.

In one study, patients evaluated the effects of vitamin C in treating wrinkles, sagging and tone. They rated vitamin C as improving their skin by 84.2%.

Bring Back that Tight, Youthful Neck

I’ve never liked the phrase “turkey neck.” And it is a real problem for many people — mostly women, unfortunately, face as they get older.

But with Regenisis and Neck Emulsion you don’t have to accept “turkey neck” as your fate.

This powerful combination is designed to lift, tighten, and smooth out your skin with results that not only last but keep improving as you use it.

Those who have tried it have seen how effective it is, and now it’s time for you to see for yourself in the mirror.

Neck Exercise Routine

I have also prepared a Neck Exercise Routine that used in conjunction with our Regensis and Neck Emulsion, will further assist in improving the often troublesome neck area.

Have you heard of Liposomes?

I would like to take you on a journey of more information to understand Liposomes. You may have already found them in nutrition however now with advancement these are sought after ingredients for skin care. I got so very excited when I truly understood the difference of absorption they could have into our bodies and transdermal effect in skincare.

I first came across them in Vitamin D nutrition and started to appreciate the potency compared to other Vitamin D supplements. Some practitioner lines are using them very successfully due to absorption; this then led me to see if I could do similar with ingredients in skin care.

Liposomes Offer A Fantastic Way To Get Nutrition Into The Deeper Layers Of Your Skin Safely And Easily.

You can have beautiful, youthful-looking skin naturally and easily … without injections. This is always for most in my thoughts when formulating products.

Because – thanks to these special transport molecules we can send nutrition right through the tough, protective outer barrier of the skin, right to where you need it.

Liposomes offer a fantastic way to get nutrition into the deeper layers of the skin, safely and easily.

Liposomes are the same material that makes up your cell membranes and these molecules with their special transport mechanism can send nutrition right through the tough, protective outer barrier of the skin, to where it is needed most.

And when you feed your skin with these critical skin architecture fortifiers Vitamin C, Hyaluronic acid and Vitamin A – you’ll get the most beautiful skin ever.

What CELL Infuse products have Vitamin C Liposomes?

Stemulate, Daytime, and Regenesis have Vitamin C Liposomes.

I am now bringing marine hyaluronic in a seaweed form with the same structure.

When you apply onto your face, the liposomes in the skin products work their magic deep inside your skin and then release the nutrient directly into the cells.

I just love this form of delivery into our skin cells. That truly is how youthfulness comes about, and true change to the aged areas of the face and neck.

Get Ready to Glow!

It isn’t by chance that the best skincare ingredients for a glowing complexion have remarkable anti-aging properties.

Let’s look at what makes for a good internal and external glow. Sure, we all desire incredible skin. But the best skincare ingredients always go beyond the face by enticing you to feel great and look beautiful…

Green Tea
Drink it, bathe in it or moisturize your skin with it. Green tea and oxidative stress, which those free radicals cause, have an antagonistic relationship. Fortunately, green tea wins when they have a confrontation. Green tea wins, oxidative stress runs away, and wrinkled, saggy skin stays on the sidelines for another day. As an anti-inflammatory, it is also great.

White Tea
Like it or not, our bodies host enzymes that live by nibbling on collagen and elastin. As we age, they multiply and develop ravenous appetites. White tea, however, places the enzymes on a strict diet by inhibiting their appetite. While one side of white tea discusses dietary issues, the other side lets loose its catechins, powerhouse antioxidants, to slow down the appearance of wrinkles by giving a lecture to free radicals. The free radicals get bored and run away.

Vitamin E
One of nature’s superior antioxidants, vitamin E stops visible signs of skin-hungry free radicals ravaging our dermis. Our bodies don’t produce this sublime moisturizer and anti-inflammatory, so we use capsules and serum to invite it in. Triple bonus: Vitamin E doubles as a delivery system by helping our skin absorb other phenomenal ingredients in particular Vitamin C.
Grandma knew in touting veggies that was good for you, so the next time you’re at the grocers, load up on cucumbers. As eye pads, this delicious veggie refreshes puffy, tired eyes. Those eyes add years to your appearance, don’t they? Cucumbers are rich in vitamin E and potassium which help in fighting fine lines and wrinkles.

Vitamin C
The stimulating delicious oranges works wonders on your skin. Vitamin C is a great attacker of fine lines, wrinkles and scars on its own, but it also leads collagen, elastin and vitamin E to the charge. Vitamin E depletes during its battle with free radicals; vitamin C regenerates vitamin E’s energy levels. Vitamin C also helps stimulate the cells that produce those lovely, anti-aging benefits named collagen and elastin. Regenisis Vitamin Serum,

Ubiquinone
You might better recognize ubiquinone by the name CoQ10. Our bodies produce this coenzyme, but its production, like many other proteins and enzymes, reduces as we age. We want this naturally occurring antioxidant because it stops pesky free radicals and revives collagen and elastin production. It also feeds skin cells the energy they need to rejuvenate; it’s great for cells. It ranks as one of the best skincare ingredients for anti-aging. .

Pomegranates
Pomegranate oil, rich in omega 5 fatty acids, penetrates deep into your skin. It travels through all skin layers to hydrate thoroughly. While it travels, it protects the outer layer from sun and environmental damage, boosts new cell production in skin’s inner layers, softens your skin and has a motivates collagen and elastin to inspire increased production. A pomegranate’s ability to do just about everything makes it one of the best skincare ingredients for a dewy complexion.

Get ready, to glow!

What is Ferulic Acid and why does your skin need it?

skin care benefits of Ferulic Acid - Anti aging products

Ferulic acid is a potent natural, plant-based antioxidant that acts as a self-preserving, protective element for the fruit or plant. It is something that I look to use in an appropriate role in the production of my skin care products.

It is a naturally occurring AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) which can exfoliate the uppermost layers of skin when formulated correctly and is also part of the hydroxycinnamic acids family – a class of aromatic acids or phenylpropanoids.

Ferulic acid has come into the spotlight due to its free radical scavenging ability and its capability to synergistically boost the effectiveness of other antioxidants, such as Vitamins A, C, and E.

Like other antioxidants, ferulic acid is designed to reduce the aging effects that damaging free radicals have on our skin.

Benefits of Ferulic Acid in Skin Care Products:

Assists in skin’s regeneration of healthy cells.
Supports collagen production
Helps to improve the skin’s natural barrier function
Brightens the skin, improves texture & evens uneven skin tone
Suitable for all skin types – particularly aging and sun damaged skin
Works well as a preventative anti-aging product
Protects overall skin integrity by reducing the development of fine lines, spots, and wrinkles
Helps to stabilise and enhance the efficacy of Vitamin C and E
Fights off free radicals!

Why Does Our Skin Loves Ferulic Acid?

Oxidative stress in the skin’s tissue is a key reason why our skin ages. This oxidative stress is caused by free radicals overtaking our skins antioxidant defence and can result in visible signs of aging such as wrinkles, dullness, age spots and loss of elasticity. It’s important to boost the levels of antioxidants in our skin, as they are there to fight free radicals and prevent damage from occurring in the first place.

In one study it suggests that ferulic acid has the potential to offer twice the amount of photoprotection when combined with Vitamins C and E. It was also noted that such antioxidant combinations could reduce someone’s risk of future photo-aging and, possibly, skin cancer, That makes these native limes even more exciting!
