Protect Your Skin From Photoaging

Photoaging is the term that describes the effects caused by intense and habitual sunlight exposure on the skin. Some people enjoy sunbathing and having a tanned aspect so much, they become addicted to sunlight. These individuals don’t accept looking pale and if they live in a cold climate they look for substitutes like sunbeds to get tan.

This behavior inevitably leads to photoaging. Damage becomes more visible over the years on the skin. Premature fine wrinkles, mottling, pigmentation and roughness are the most frequent signs of this irreversible condition. The possible consequences are not only esthetic, however. If this addiction is not properly addressed and the person suffering from it does not quit frequent and intense sun exposure, the risk of cancer multiplies.

Sun exposure is a pleasant habit, and a healthy one also, as long as it is done in moderation. Midday sun should always be avoided and the use of good quality Sun Care formulations, like AcquaEssentials.com’s, is more than necessary. If you don’t use sun-block, like 40% of Americans do according to a recent poll, your skin will suffer some degree of photoaging, no matter how seldom you sunbathe even if it’s only during your holidays.

When you are about to choose a Sun Protection product to take on your holidays don’t forget what Biocosmetics have to offer. These unique formulations contain a blend of natural sun-blocking ingredients, as active and alive as they were in Nature, to provide your skin with the most effective shield against harmful UV rays. This is why top Spas and Beauty Salons around the US and South America offer Exel Solar Protection products to their visitors.

Aloe Vera and Spa Biocosmetics: Great News for Those Concerned About Sun Exposure

Among the vast list of skin care ingredients available there is one about which hundreds of thousands of articles have been written. It is probably the only plant holding a skin care treasure within its leaves everybody knows how it looks. Yes, we are talking about Aloe Vera.

Aloe plants are 95% water. Its leaves are filled with a transparent gel that is considered one of the best natural moisturizers. People from the subtropical ecosystems where this species comes from have been using that gel on burns, and specifically sunburns. Aloe extract has lots of properties, all beneficial for the skin and based on its astonishing moisturizing power.

Marketing Departments at skin care companies are always seeking new ingredients. They like to always have something new to tell people through advertising. This is why each product highlights its own breakthrough in terms of formulation and ingredients. This permanent challenge helped develop some of the best skin care molecules we are all now familiar with. But although skin care companies like to offer something different from their competitors, there is an ingredient in their Sun Protection and After Sun products they could not replace. Yes…Aloe.

This is because Aloe Vera has three unique properties: it can aid and soothe the after effects of too much sun by adding nutrients to the skin that enable us to bear the sun’s rays longer. It also helps slow down the skin’s aging process, and specially the effects of photo-aging. And, at the same time, it is helpful to keep our much valued sun tan for longer.

Professionals at Exel Biocosmetica Argentina have always been aware of all this. That is why they sought the best Aloe Vera plants available to create their own Aloe plantation they now exploit in pristine Pampa Húmeda. The super pure extract from these plant´s gel is present in their state-of-the-art Sun Care formulations: Exel Sun Protection Clarifying Cream SPF 30 and Exel Sunblock SPF 30 Plus. These unique products contain a blend of natural sun-blocking ingredients along with Aloe from the Exel Farm to provide your skin with the most effective shield against harmful UV rays. This is why top Spas and Beauty Salons around the US and South America offer Exel Solar Protection products to their visitors.

Yerba Mate: Nature’s Best Anti-Cellulite Ingredient

Ancient cultures from South America were perfectly aware of the healthy properties of a plant called Yerba Mate (Ilex Paraguaiensis). In fact, every single day they used to drink an infusion prepared with its leaves. This plant is original from Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil where it is harvested in large scale specialized farms.  

Yerba Mate has a complex balance of antioxidants, diuretics and natural detoxifiers that help combat a skin problem that is one of top women’s concerns: cellulite.

Cellulite is a skin condition developed by 90% of post-adolescent women. It mostly affects thighs, buttocks and the abdomen. When affected by cellulite, these areas show pockets of fat that are trapped and cause dimpling in the skin. This dimpling is irregular and patchy and has been compared to the look of an orange peel. In the past cellulite used to be mistaken for obesity, but that approach has been abandoned since a majority of women demanding for efficient anti-cellulite solutions on a regular basis have a normal body mass index.

Yerba Mate can be infused; though there are also creams available which, when applied, are the most efficient way to take benefit from Yerba Mate’s anti cellulite power. In Europe this ingredient is booming in popularity as more women experience noticeable improvements to their buttocks, thighs and other problem areas.

Yerba Mate contains xantine, teobromin and teofilin as well as A, B and C vitamins, and minerals.

Exel Biocosmetics, a high end brand of Spa products that has largely been for sale in Europe and South America offers a product that contains this wonderful anti cellulite ingredient: Exel Body Sculpting Gel Cream. 

Exel Body Sculpting Gel Cream is formulated with liposomes, caffeine, Centella Asiatica, Hedera Helix and of course Yerba Mate. All these active anti-cellulite ingredients help combat dimples that make the skin look uneven in certain areas and with an appearance similar to an orange peel.

Just apply the cream morning and night on your buttocks, thighs and other areas affected by cellulite with a gentle massage. This anticellulite gel cream is easily absorbed and leaves the skin feeling incredibly soft. For a quicker activation of thermogenic ingredients like Yerba Mate and caffeine you can use a massage glove. You will see results during the first month.

You can exclusively find this amazing anti cellulite product online at Acquaessentials.com.

 

Biocosmetics: A Growing Trend in Beauty and Skin Care

In a world where nature and technology can collide, there are skin care companies developing state-of-the-art skin care products using the most modern biotechnologies and natural active ingredients available. Exel Biocosmetics products achieve this amazing blend of nature and technology, while respecting the environment and providing the best solutions in beauty and spa skin care products. This can only be achieved through dedication, professional talent and a significant R&D investment.

Natural active ingredients combined with high-tech components are the future of anti wrinkle creams, anti cellulite lotions, facial scrubs, sun block protection and after solar products. The good news is a few companies in the world are making that future a reality. The first challenge lies in identifying the origin of those ingredients to guarantee they are 100% naturally based, harvested and processed. The next challenge is to have a laboratory within to create the right combinations between those natural ingredients and complementary high-tech substances that ensure new skin care creams, body lotions, facial and body gels or scrubs contain those ingredients with all their properties intact.

Exel Biocosmetics selects natural ingredients from some of the most pristine and fertile regions in the world: Pampa Humeda, Patagonia and Mesopotamia in South America. They permanently develop new biotech complementary ingredients to guarantee those natural components reach your skin at their most soothing, moisturizing, revitalizing, nourishing and anti-oxidant power. And of course they also make use of the basic ingredient of all skin care products: water. The water in all their products comes from transparent natural springs located in Pampa Humeda.

Biocosmetics are a growing trend in beauty and skin care. Although many brands say they offer biocosmetics, only a few of them have all that is needed to create authentic natural bio skin care solutions. Exel Biocosmetics spa products are packed with nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and other natural ingredients that leave the skin smoother, feeling softer and looking more beautiful. Exel Biocosmetics is also proud of taking care of the environment as part of their manufacturing processes.

High-end true natural biocosmetics at affordable prices - that is Exel. And Exel is now part of the AcquaEssentials.com family of beauty and spa skin care products.
