Today I am writing about two more star ingredients in the newly launched Line Softener Intensive Formula for smooth, radiant and younger-looking skin.
Bitter Cherry seed oil
As a young boy I was encouraged to eat wild bitter cherries traditionally believed to protect and relieve muscle pain and I was actually very happy with this! However besides my memory of these Mediterranean traditions I am sure you are well aware of the antioxidants contained in the cherry family. Within this joyful and colourful family, bitter cherry provides many health and beauty benefits for the skin too. It’s in fact ideal for mature skin with a slower rate of cell turnover. Bitter cherry provides a boost for cell regeneration and can also help treat uneven pigmentation from too many years in the sun.
Bitter cherry has a remarkable ability to nourish, moisturise and improve skin elasticity. It also balances pH levels and is high in oleic acid and vitamins A & E, hence excellent for dry and mature or lined skin.
This amazing gift of nature also contains an unsaturated fatty acid called eleostearic that can partially prevent UV absorption by forming a barrier on the surface of the skin.
How could have I not picked this precious fruit as an ingredient for my Line Softener Intensive Formula?
Barley Grass
This nutrient-packed “green food” contains 20 times the amount of Vitamin E compared with wheat. No wonder it has earned its reputation as a superfood with its powerful nutrient profile and high alkalinity!
Glutathione is a small protein composed of three amino acids. This enzyme is said to help slow the ageing process and in fact is produced in abundance in young people. As we “gracefully” age all our processes slow down and we don’t produce as much glutathione as earlier in life, therefore this gifted green grass with its anti-oxidising enzyme can help slow down our ageing process.
The high chlorophyll content of barley grass brings vital oxygen to the skin cells as well as all the other organs of course.
Did you know that the skin ‘breathes’? Well, barley grass helps the skin to stay vibrant, radiant and well oxygenated hence young young young!
