You’d expect that ultramodern ingredients at the cutting edge of skin care research would be providing the answers to better anti aging products. However the reverse is in fact the case, and so many ingredients that have been used for centuries may well be the best way to ensure the best health for your skin. Seaweed and sheeps wool are 2 good 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.

There is a particular type of seaweed found around Japan, called Phytessence Wakame that has been eaten by the Japanese for hundreds of years. The fact that Japanese women, as they age, have some of the best skin in the world is no coincidence. The Japanese have known about the seaweed skin care link for a long time.

Phytessence Wakame has always been prized for its properties in promoting better skin health.

Cutting-edge science has now found why this ancient ingredient is so good for your skin, and as a result there are some excellent seaweed extract skin products now available. The reason has to do with enzymes. There is one enzyme in particular, called hyaluronidase, which breaks down collagen and elastin which are big components of your skin.

Collagen and elastin are very important to help maintain the elasticity of your skin and it is elasticity that helps keep your skin supple yet firm. It is elasticity that helps keep wrinkles away and the loss of elasticity leads to wrinkles and skin sagging. If hyaluronidase breaks down your collagen and elastin that’s bad.

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.

But how about the sheep? Science now knows of the link between seaweed and skin aging but why would sheep have anything to do with good anti aging?

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.
