January Skincare of the Month relaxes skin with deep creases and wrinkles

DeCrease™, our Skincare of the Month for January 2009, has been mailed to qualifying customers.

DeCrease™ will relax skin and improve the appearance of deep creases and wrinkles around lips and eyes, and at the forehead between the eyebrows. Unlike fine lines, deep creases in the skin can be strongly connected to contracted muscles which underly the skin and constrict it, creating folds within the skin surface. This situation requires a product which can relax the skin surface so it can reassume the smooth appearance of healthy young skin.

The use of Botox to achieve such an effect is risky since Botox is one of the most powerful poisons known to science and when injected under the skin its effect is to paralyze communication within the nerve-muscle network which is beneath the skin. Poisoning of the nerve-muscle signals for the purpose of skin relaxation and moderate-good straightening of wrinkles is quite a high price to pay. Our product is applied topically rather than by an injection. Our nanotechnologies-based vehicles carry the product deep into the skin. Our product is based on natural actives and botanical extracts which create a high level of skin relaxation and results in improved appearance of deep skin creases and wrinkles. Appearance improves in just minutes after application and the visible effects can be maintained and built up with time.

DeCrease™ is a natural partner for our DeLine™ and Deline Green™ creams, which are designed to soften fine lines under eyes . If you have a mixed case of both deep wrinkles and fine lines you can alternate between the two products on a daily basis, using the fine line cream (DeLine™) at night and the deep wrinkle cream (DeCrease™) in the morning.

DeCrease™ is compatible with all skin, including the scalp. Its unique action to relax scalp can be very important to people who suffer from short term growth of hair followed by shedding. Relaxant ingredients are very beneficial to scalp and constricted muscles which underlie hair roots can be an important factor in hair loss.

Ingredients in DeCrease™ include:

• botanical extracts of valerian root, arnica flower, and passionflower leaf
• essential oil of frankincense
• cocoa butter
• oil-soluble ascorbic ester (Vitamin C)
• GABA (gamma aminobutyric acid)
• caffeine
• lysine, arginine, hystidine (amino acids)

Frankincense is a traditional topical anti-inflammatory, and cocoa butter is used around the world to smooth and soften skin.  When taken orally, other ingredients in DeCrease™ address many issues related to deep skin wrinkles: arnica reduces swelling and edema; passionflower reduces tension and nervousness, acting as a muscle relaxant, analgesic, and nerve sedative; valerian and GABA are muscle relaxers, with GABA reducing nerve stimulation of muscles.

DeCrease™ is available now for retail sale in our cosmeceuticals shop.
