Natural ingredients found in natural skin care products can stop damage to the skin.

Research reveals that natural ingredients can limit the damage caused by the skin's contact with Ultraviolet light, in other words, exposure to the sun. One must admit that many of us like having a tan on our skin, as it makes us look gleaming and healthy. However, this is not really true with our skins. When it loses its electron, the molecule which has been attacked becomes a free radical, as it has to search for other stable molecules to steal from. This forms a chain reaction. As free radicals grab electrons from your body molecules, the molecules are left with an 'electron hole'. These holes allow all the unwanted elements which harm our living cells.

Our skin has its own defense system to fight this situation and it is called Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) which is an enzyme antioxidant. However, in photo-aged skin, or skin that has been damaged after exposure to the sun and harmful environmental factors, studies have shown a significant decrease in SOD. This is a very critical point for our skin's wellbeing which desperately needs (SOD)'s, so what can we do?

Science Proves Existence of Regenerative Properties Contained in Snail Secretion

Fortunately, scientists in Spain and New York have unveiled a replacement, found in the natural substance that snails secrete. This substance which snails use to protect their own skin from destructive elements has a protective effect in topical application in human skins against UV induced cutaneous damage, and contains the enzyme antioxidant SOD that is needed to help regenerate the skin.

Studies confirm that this biological ingredient is effective in the treatment against photo-aging. Experiments were made in 1999 where participants who showed signs of facial sun damage took part in the application of this ingredient on their skin. The results were very positive. These were:

*rejuvenated skin: reduced wrinkles and skin aging

*hydrated skin: retained skin moisture

*firm and elastic skin: firmness and elasticity of the skin improved

As we can see, natural skin products made with this natural ingredient help to maintain skin in good condition, counteracting free radical formation and protecting skin from UV radiation. We must also not forget that it helps to maintain our skin vibrant and fresh reducing premature skin aging and wrinkles.

It is incredible to see how powerful this bio ingredient is on our skin.
