You’d be forgiven for thinking that modern cutting edge technology would be producing high-tech ingredients at the cutting edge of skin care science to produce high-quality and more effective antiaging products. However the reality is that the reverse is the case and there are many ingredients which have been known for centuries to be good for your skin which are, or should be, found in the best skin care products to produce the optimum health for your skin. Seaweed and sheeps wool are 2 examples.

What do sheep and seaweed have to do with skin aging? In fact there has been a seaweed skin care link for hundreds of years. For centuries Japanese women have used seaweed for great skin care.

Phytessence Wakame is a particular type of seaweed found around Japan and which has been a huge part of the Japanese diet for centuries. And it is also well-known that Japanese women have very good skin health right into old age, and this is no coincidence. The Japanese have known about the seaweed skin care link for hundreds of years.

And they have always prized Phytessence Wakame for it’s skin care properties.

Now modern science has discovered why seaweed and skin care go together and the result is the release of some excellent seaweed skin care products. The reason why seaweed is so good for your skin is to do with enzymes, and one in particular called hyaluronidase. Hyaluronidase breaks down the elastin and collagen in your skin.

Collagen and elastin are important skin proteins which have a role in maintaining skin elasticity, and it is elasticity which is responsible for maintaining that strength and suppleness that keeps wrinkles and sagging at bay. So you don’t want hyaluronidase breaking down any of your collagen and elastin.

Science has found that there are some important components of Phytessence Wakame that help inhibit the actions of this enzyme and this improves the levels of collagen and elastin in your skin can in turn lead to better skin elasticity and less wrinkles.

So that’s the seaweed but what about the sheep? There may be a seaweed skin care link but what in the world do sheep have to do with it?

Again it’s all about collagen and elastin. Some of the ingredients found in sheeps wool help stimulate the skin to produce more collagen and elastin all by itself. These ingredients have now been isolated and put into a patented ingredient called Cynergy TK which is found in the worlds best anti aging products. Again there’s more elastin and collagen there to keep wrinkles and sagging away.

So cutting edge science is finding answers, but the answers are coming from age old ingredients like sheep and seaweed, and the result is some excellent seaweed skin care products combining seaweed extract with Cynergy TK.
