Why Do Sheep, Seaweed And Skin Care Go Together?

By Peter Albertonach

Many people rely on cutting edge science to research new ingredients to produce cutting edge anti aging products that produce better skin health. However in reality the best ingredients to be found in the best anti aging products have been known about for centuries, and they have, for all that time, have been known to have a role in improving the health of your skin. Seaweed and sheeps wool are 2 examples of this.

The obvious question is what does sheeps wool and seaweed have to do with skin care? In fact for centuries there has been a seaweed skin care link, because for centuries Japanese women have known how to use seaweed for good 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 what do sheep have to do with skin care? The best science has now discovered a seaweed skin care link, but what do sheep have to do with that?

It's about collagen and elastin again. Science has also discovered that there are some important ingredients in sheeps wool which, when applied to the skin, help stimulate the skin to produce more collagen and elastin all by itself. These components of sheeps wool have now been formulated into a patented product called Cynergy TK that is found in the worlds highest quality skin care products. It also helps increase levels of collagen and elastin in your skin to help keep those wrinkles away.

So cutting-edge science has discovered why age-old ingredients like seaweed extract and sheeps wool can help produce optimum skin health and the result is some excellent seaweed skin care products which use extracts of Phytessence Wakame and Cynergy TK.
