WIN THE WAR ON AGING WITH ANTIOXIDANTS
Antioxidants are your body's
go-to defenders in the fight against aging. They team up against disease and
counteract the effects of free radicals while combating the aging process.
Here's why I'm their biggest fan:
THEY FIGHT AGING FROM THE INSIDE OUT.
We can't feel it when free radicals injure our cells, but when it happens, antioxidants go into defense mode in an effort to stop the chain reaction of damaged cells. Over time, without a strong defense, this cellular breakdown can lead to a number of chronic diseases. Antioxidants help to counteract this process...
THEY SUPPORT HEALTHY SKIN.
Common skin woes like dull, uneven tone and wrinkles can all be improved with the use of an antioxidant serum. Add an antioxidant serum to your daily skin care regimen or mix the serum with your sunscreen to naturally brighten your skin and add an extra layer of protection.
Try SkinMedica TNS Essential Serum, which contains a potent combination of antioxidants including Coenzyme Q10, green tea leaf extract, blackberry leaf extract and vitamins C and E to protect against free radical damage. SkinMedica also makes Vitamin C+E Complex which is an excellent topical antioxidant with a powdery smooth texture that works well under makeup as a nice primer as well.
THEY FIT INTO A HEALTHY DIET.
Studies show that there’s more to protecting your skin than applying topical products: eating a diet high in antioxidants can help to ward off the signs of aging from within. The foods you consume directly affect your skin, so eating well and looking your best go hand-in-hand.
Eat well-balanced meals with a complex mix of antioxidants—think vegetables, fruits, whole grains and legumes—to round out your diet. Taking a supplement that is high in anti-inflammatory ingredients boosts the effects of a healthy diet like CELLectives Radiant Skin CELLect which is packed with polyphenols, grapeseed extract, grape skin extract, green tea, quercetin, and pine bark extract (OPC).
THEY COUNTERACT BAD HABITS.
Smoking, air pollution, excessive alcohol consumption and even eating deep-fried foods can promote free radical formation within your body. Air pollution has been linked to cataracts, skin cancer and wrinkles, while cigarette smoking has been linked to gum disease, heart problems and cancer.
It’s important to remember that while antioxidants provide an important defense system against free radical damage, they do not negate the effects of destructive habits like smoking.
THEY’RE DIVERSE.
These vitamins, minerals and other nutrients are mostly naturally occurring substances and often have specific functions. For example, lycopene helps defend the skin against sun damage. Certain antioxidants (like isothiocyanates, found in broccoli and cauliflower) battle pollutants like nicotine, while vitamin E helps prevent wrinkle formation and works to stop the cellular damage that causes skin cancer.
Take a smart approach and avoid zeroing in on one antioxidant function—incorporating a wide array of antioxidants into your diet and skin care routine is the best way to achieve optimal protection.

Sesha Skin Care...It's all in the Delivery!
Sesha (pronounced sesh-ay) Clinical Skin Care line is relatively new to the pharmaceutical-based skin care arena. We first ran across them at the American Academy of Dermatology conference two years ago. They were new to the event and had some exciting technology to offer.
At first glance, the product ingredients were not new or innovative. Several high end skin care lines offer retinol (vitamin A), Vitamin C (l-ascorbic or ascorbic acid), Vitamin E (tocopherol acetate), MDI Complex, Carnosine, Dermaxyl, etc. What really sets this skin care line apart is the delivery system!
Those of us that are self-proclaimed "experts" in the skin care field are usually more interested in ingredients than how a product feels on the skin. Consumers who use skin care products are more interested in how the product feels than whats in it - both are interested, but for different reasons.
In the past, I was no different when it came to skin care products. I wanted to know "whats in it". Little did I know back then that quantity and quality alone are not enough to make a skin care line exceptional. I knew that skin care products were not all created equal. I understood that spa-based skin care lines had better ingredients than over-the-counter brands and that medical grade skin care lines had higher quality ingredients than spa-based brands with high concentrations of active ingredients... BUT... what I did not take into consideration was how key the delivery system was, until recently.
A product line can have all the most technologically advanced ingredients in high concentrations packed full of punch, but without an advanced delivery system, all those ingredients go to waste!
For instance, you can offer 20%, 25%, 30% Vitamin C in a product which is very high but when you apply that to the skin it oxidizes almost immediately, not to mention stings like a dickens. Vitamin C is a very volatile ingredient. When exposed to light and oxygen, it breaks down quickly rendering it useless. The skin cannot utilize it effectively. In fact, once Vitamin C oxidizes, it becomes radical itself causing more harm than good. If you take that same high concentration Vitamin C and encapsulate it in a delivery system that keeps it stable while penetrating the skin, now you have an effective product.
In the past, liposomal delivery systems have been the gold standard in keeping ingredients stable; however over a period of time the liposomes break down in the product releasing the stable ingredients so they become less effective. The longer the product sits on the shelf, the less effective it becomes.
Sesha Clinical Skin Care uses a delivery system called P.E.T. which stands for "penetration enhancement technology". With this technology, ingredients can be delivered to the cells within the skin layers where each is utilized most effectively.
How PET works?
PET™ works by solubilizing the active ingredients and temporarily modifying the permeability of the skin. Therefore, when large-molecule active ingredients are combined with PET™, they are able to pass through the skin cell barrier to reach the deeper layers below the epidermis. PET™ is very versatile and allows us to combine nutrients to work together as a networking system. Thus, PET™ enables the penetration of the actives and provide you with the full benefits of each individual ingredient.
PET™ is also extremely versatile and compatible with formulations that containing peptides, vitamins, antioxidants and amino acids enabling deep controlled penetration through the top layer stratum corneum in a single formulation.
Is it Safe?
PET™ also passes the stringent requirements of the FDA to be considered GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe). Human clinical study demonstrated to regulatory authorities that PET™ is non-toxic, non-irritating and non-allergenic.
Here is a diagram of how the delivery system works:
