WHAT SKINN DOES NOT CONTAIN IS AS IMPORTANT AS WHAT IT CONTAINS
Dermatologists believe that what is NOT in a product is as essential as what is in aproduct.
SKINN does NOT contain
Parabens - Preservative proven not only to reduce sperm count, but also increases UV damage to the skin and is apotent allergen
Acne inducing agents - Sodium lauryl sulphate, Lareth 4, Propylene glycolMineral oil (safe in leave-on hair products)
Lanolin or wool alcohols - Wools, 4th most common cosmetic allergen (after fragrances, preservatives and PPD)
Chlorocresol - Used as a preservative in many creams, Common cause of contact dermatitis
Tea Tree Oil - Recent studies indicate of topical tea tree oil causing anaphylaxis (life threatening)allergic reaction (AllergyAsthma Proc. 2003 Jan-Feb; 24(1): 73-5)
Herbal allergens - Eg Henna, Can cause immediate allergic and anaphylactic (life threatening) reactions
SCIENCE AND SKINN
DAILY MOISTURISER is rich in 3 essential moisturising ingredients that are specifically reduced during shaving.These ingredients are not currently found together in any male product and include humectants, NMF's sand lipids
MEN HAVE MORE SKIN CANCER RISK THAN WOMEN
SPF is calculated in a laboratory via the application of 2mg/cm2 of sunscreen. Scientific research hasproven that real world use involves only one quarter of this, which means a product displaying an SPF of 30actually only delivers an SPF of 3-4 when applied by customers. For this reason SKINN does not display anSPF rating on DAILY MOISTURE as we feel it is vital to educate men the necessity of reapplication andcorrect use of sunscreen. SPORTS FACTOR 20 is a portable, hands free sunscreen that can be used inconjunction with DAILY MOISTURE. Remember to educate your clients that dermatologists frequently alsoremove skin cancer from ears, back of hands and the scalp, so regular application in these sites is alsonecessary.
ANTIOXIDANTS: Why men need than more
Latest research indicates that men are genetically more prone to developing skin cancer. Antioxidantsprotect skin cell structures by neutralising free radicals (harmful unstable molecules produced fromsources like the sun and other environmental insults which assist skin cell damage and aging). Our naturalantioxidants are depleted following sun exposure.
Green Tea Extracts:
Skin treated with green tea extracts has a reduced number of sunburn cells followingUV exposure and reduced DNA damage following UV radiation.J Am Acad Dermatol. 2001 Mar;44(3):425-32; Dermatol Surg. 2005 Jul;31(7 Pt 2):855-60 (see abstracts attached)
Grape Seed Oil
Contains proanthocyanidins, which are potent antioxidant. Synergistic in action withVitamin E
Vitamin E:
Protects the skin from the early stages of UV damage, anti-inflammatory and Improves woundhealing and reduces scar formationDouble-blinded, placebo-controlled trial of green tea extracts in the clinical and histologic appearance ofphotoaging skin. Chiu AE, Chan JL, Kern DG, Kohler S, Rehmus WE, Kimball AB. Dermatol Surg. 2005 Jul;31(7Pt 2):855-60
BACKGROUND:
Green tea extracts have gained popularity as ingredients in topical skin care preparationsto treat aging skin. Green tea polyphenolic compounds have significant antioxidant and antiinflammatoryactivities, and studies suggest that these extracts help mediate ultraviolet radiation damage.
OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the effects of a combination regimen of topical and oral green teasupplementation on the clinical and histologic characteristics of photoaging. METHODS: Forty women withmoderate photoaging were randomized to either a combination regimen of 10% green tea cream and300 mg twice-daily green tea oral supplementation or a placebo regimen for 8 weeks. RESULTS: Nosignificant differences in clinical grading were found between the green tea-treated and placebo groups,other than higher subjective scores of irritation in the green tea-treated group. Histologic grading of skinbiopsies did show significant improvement in the elastic tissue content of treated specimens (p<.05).
CONCLUSION:
Participants treated with a combination regimen of topical and oral green tea showedhistologic improvement in elastic tissue content. Green tea polyphenols have been postulated to protecthuman skin from the cutaneous signs of photoaging, but clinically significant changes could not bedetected. Longer supplementation may be required for clinically observable improvements.Green tea and the skin.Hsu S. J Am Acad Dermatol. 2005 Jun;52(6):1049-59. Plant extracts have beenwidely used as topical applications for wound-healing, anti-aging, and disease treatments. Examples ofthese include ginkgo biloba, echinacea, ginseng, grape seed, green tea, lemon, lavender, rosemary,thuja, sarsaparilla, soy, prickly pear, sagebrush, jojoba, aloe vera, allantoin, feverwort, bloodroot, apacheplume, and papaya. These plants share a common character: they all produce flavonoid compounds withphenolic structures. These phytochemicals are highly reactive with other compounds, such as reactiveoxygen species and biologic macromolecules, to neutralize free radicals or initiate biological effects. Ashort list of phenolic phytochemicals with promising properties to benefit human health includes a group ofpolyphenol compounds, called catechins, found in green tea. This article summarizes the findings of studiesusing green tea polyphenols as chemopreventive, natural healing, and anti-aging agents for human skin,and discusses possible mechanisms of action.
