DEPIGMENTATION

Skin depigmentation has become a dangerous planetary mode of diacetyl-boldine or kojic acid.

But to make bleaching more powerful, manufacturers are quick to add banned substances without mentioning it.

It is most often hydroquinone, more rarely mercury derivatives.

All these products act by desquamation (the skin peels) or by preventing the synthesis of melanin, this pigment produced by the cells which protects the skin from the rays of the sun.

Depigmenting your skin is not natural. Your color is the result of specific and unique genetic criteria. There is no way to radically transform your criteria without risking your health.

Aggressive or toxic products should never be applied to your skin in order to lighten it. Certain products based on hydroquinone – a chemical used in the textile industry to wash clothes – can be very dangerous. They can cause severe and deep burns, promote the appearance of certain cancers and irreversibly weaken the skin

It can cause contact eczema and irritation with repeated applications.

  1. It also happens that it produces the opposite effect to that sought: dark and permanent spots develop;

It can even cause ochronosis, a black blue discoloration of the skin, which then takes on a rough appearance. And the more the skin turns brown, the more the users looking for whiteness increase the doses. A vicious circle.

 

Prolonged use leads to irreversible degradation of the skin and major health hazards such as:

Reducing the production of melanin, a natural filter, weakens the skin’s resistance to the sun’s rays.

  • Scarring more difficult.
  • A more pronounced appearance of acne, stretch marks and pigmentation spots.
  • Hyper pigmentation in the fingers and toes.
  • Strong hairiness on the chest and beard (hyperpilosity).
  • Mycoses and smells of fresh fish.
  • A considerable increase in blood pressure (hypertension).
  • Skin cancer.

Apply these good tips every day:

  • Moisturize your skin morning and evening with care adapted to your skin type;
  • Clean your skin morning and evening to rid it of its impurities;
  • Exfoliate your skin with a gentle scrub, once or twice a week, to remove dead skin and blemishes;
  • Protect your skin from the sun’s rays by applying care adapted to the amount of sunshine (face cream containing an SPF or sun protection) and by avoiding prolonged exposures.
  • Make a decoction of dandelion root: Boil 30 minutes and let stand for 4 hours
  • Never apply your perfume directly on your skin with photosensitizers. Eau de Cologne, on your scarves

A brief history on the origins of Hydroquinone

Synthetic origins

It was in 1936 that Oettel.H observed a lightening of hair in black cats whose drinking water was supplemented with hydroquinone: the depigmenting action of hydroquinone was discovered! This molecule has been used in therapy, since 1961, in acquired hypermelanoses (melasma, senile lentigos). Its effectiveness is proportional to its concentration (it is used at concentrations between 2 and 5%, even With regard to its mechanism of action, hydroquinone is able to decrease the epidermal melanin content by competitive inhibition of tyrosinase. In addition, it induces mitochondrial alterations and degradations of melanosomes in melanocytes.

 

The second generation of depigmenters was that of hydroquinone ethers, the properties of which were discovered by chance. Hydroquinone benzyl ether was used as a rubber vulcanizer and the black workers who handled it systematically showed depigmentation of the forearms in contact with the product. Hence the tests carried out not only with benzyl ether but also with other ethers, in particular monomethyl ether. These ethers, very widely applied, were able to cause temporary depigmentation for concentrations close to 10% and a duration of application of a few weeks. They led to definitive depigmentations with destruction of the melanocytes for concentrations of 20 to 25% and twice-daily applications for approximately two years.

 

This substance is banner in the EU, Australia, Japan, China, UK , Africa and not by chance. They have all deemed it a dangerous molecule.  Please do not apply it to your skin.

The plant stem cell revolution – a 10-year rejuvenating facial

/0 Comments/in , /by

Stem cells are versatile cells found in the human body that can play any role in the body.

They are more common in newborns, as well as in adulthood, but in smaller quantities. Stem cells are found in almost all tissues, including the skin.

These types of cells, for example in the skin, are the only ones that can proliferate throughout life and create new skin cells.

Thus, stem cells help keep our skin young thanks to a constant process of renewal.

But with age, the number and viability of stem cells and their ability to create new skin cells decrease. If the number of stem cells in the body decreases with age, the most logical conclusion would be to add them. Experiments with human stem cells are carried out for medical purposes for the benefit of human health, but such experiments are still very controversial

BUT SCIENCE HAS FOUND A NEW SOLUTION … PLANTS

Humans have used plants for medicinal and cosmetic purposes for centuries.  As science has progressed, it has been possible to look far beyond conventional properties such as taste or effect. Or rather, more deeply – perhaps studied what plant cells offer us. IT ALL STARTED WITH AN APPLE! A variety of apple called Uttwiler Spatlauber initially caught the eye of researchers as a fruit that could stay on the shelf for months without wilting. The researchers therefore began to study it in the laboratory and it was discovered that a solution of this apple stem cell promoted the growth of human cells by 80% more than human cells growing in solution without apple stem cells.  When both solutions were bombarded with UV rays at the same time, 50% of the cells growing in the normal solution were killed, but almost no cells were killed in the solution with apple stem cells. Cell life has also been extended. So what does this mean? This means that the stem cells of this variety of apple have an amazing property to stimulate the growth of human cells and prolong their life. In rural languages, this means that our skin rejuvenates and stays young for a long time. This rejuvenating effect was also observed in a laboratory where 20 women used a cream enriched with these stem cells twice a day – they found a reduction in 15% of wrinkles around the eyes in just two weeks.

 

 

STEM CELLS FOR HUMAN BENEFIT

In plants, as in the human body, there are stem cells that play an appropriate role in different parts of the plant (stem, leaf, flower, etc.). Our technology has advanced so much that we can find this stem cell in a plant with remarkable properties that we need and apply its beneficial effects on an appropriate medium.These tiny cells are powerful and can be used for purposes quite similar to the plants used by our grandmothers. Stem cells can provide, among other things, anti-inflammatory, rejuvenating or antioxidant effects, among others. But their effect is a thousand times more powerful, because they can stimulate the regeneration of stem cells in our own skin, thus creating a rejuvenating effect.However, although each plant has stem cells, few plants have been found whose stem cell properties would work wonders on our skin. This makes stem cell cosmetics extremely popular and valuable. The most common plants whose stem cells have been used in cosmetics are, for example, Swiss apples, alpine hare legs, roses and date palms.

 

WHAT IS THE  MORGANNA’S ALCHEMY 10 YEARS  YOUNGER in 30 DAYS?

 

Morganna’s Alchemy is a luxurious skin care line created by chemist Maya Hyppolite, some of which also use plant stem cells as active ingredients. Extremely powerful active ingredients have been carefully selected for each product, which in synergy guarantees the best results in the shortest time possible.

These are hypoallergenic, paraben-free and durable products.

The creator of Morganna’s Alchemy is based on the principle that aging is not just the wrinkles that appear on our faces.

Aging is associated with many problems such as sagging skin, pigmentation spots, dry skin, roughness, etc.

Therefore, a 30-day facial treatment  with 10 days includes four different products, each with a different function. And the stem cells included in the kit allow you to achieve a much more effective effect in the products compared to conventional plant extracts. The use of stem cells is also environmentally friendly, as the plants are grown on a small area without excessive consumption of water and fertilizers. Stem cells are produced in the laboratory by Morganna’s Alchemy herself.

10 Years Younger in 30 days System

You’ve heard of Niacinamide, but what is it exactly?

/0 Comments/in , /by

Niacinamide works in two ways. First, it increases the production of collagen, a protein that is part of the basic structure of the skin. Second, the production of glycan decreases.

Too many technical terms? Let’s say that collagen is very good, because it keeps the skin cells together, and the glycans are bad, because they are responsible for the appearance of wrinkles on the skin … so that niacinamide improves the first and reduces the second. That is, its purpose is to improve the texture of your skin, by reducing the signs of aging that make your face look younger.

How does it work on the skin?

What are its actions? It has powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It also acts as a cellular communication booster. She can talk to many types of skin cells, asking them to make normal, healthier, younger cells. In fact, by stimulating the production of ceramides, the lipids that form the cement between the cells of the epidermis, the skin is stronger, protected from dehydration and the penetration of irritants.

There are no contraindications. “In the form of a serum, a few drops are enough for the entire face before applying the moisturizer, says Nassim Hamek. Not particularly sensitive to light or oxidation, and not photosensitizing, it can be applied during the day as by night.”

Niacinamide easily penetrates the skin and is not irritating

Soothing

Niacinamide neutralizes the irritation process and reduces itching by acting on the mechanisms involved (in particular by inhibiting histamine).

Anti-age spots

The application of nicotinamide-based treatments (between 2 and 5%) is effective in lightening pigment spots, results linked to the increase in collagen production induced by the active ingredient. The action is certainly progressive but less irritating than vitamin C.

(Our skin Brightening serum contains 10% Niacinamide) https://www.morgannasalchemy.com/product/express-concentrated-brightening-serum/

It is made up of two compounds: nicotinic acid or niacin and nicotinamide or niacinamide.

Synthesized by the body but in too small a quantity, as well as easily eliminated in the urine, vitamin B3 must thus be provided by our food in the form of recommended daily allowances.

Its properties are used topically for:

  • Improvement of the barrier function of the skin: it reduces irritation in the presence of an irritant agent while improving the texture of the skin;
  • Acceleration of cell differentiation and scarring: vitamin B3 is a moisturizing active ingredient that can be used to fight against atopic states and skin dryness; boost micro-circulation of the skin

So why is it so successful today? Probably because more and more people report having reactive skin. The blame for pollution, our stressful lifestyle and also sometimes poor nutrition. So many factors that increase the risk of inflammation and imbalance, in addition to the application of irritant treatments, including some natural formulas based on essential oils

Resveratrol, precious ally against dark spots!

/0 Comments/in , /by

 

There are several types of resveratrol, however only, Trans-Resveratrol is the one that is in  bio active form; this means that it is the one readily available to make a difference on your skin (Morganna’s Express spot remover)…

In other words, it is able to fight against the accumula

tion of oxidative species harmful to cell survival

The powers of this polyphenol, derived from the seeds of grapes, are few but mighty:

Powerful antioxidant:

This action gives resveratrol protective effects and anti-aging potential.

It helps protect the body and prevent premature skin aging.

Anti-inflammatory activity studies show that resveratrol can reduce inflammatory responses.

This natural anti-inflammatory property may therefore be good in fighting against chronic inflammation.

Remember, just by walking from our car to our house, there could be enough damage done by the sun to provoke this inflammation under your skin!

When, skin is deeply wrinkled, spotted, reddened, dehydrated, and weakened, the collagen and elastin fibers, constituting the extracellular matrix of the dermis, are disorganized and degraded, the skin tissues prone to inflammation.

In the skin, oxidation is a major phenomenon responsible for cell aging. It damages the skin cells both in the epidermis and the dermis and contributes to their degeneration. The antioxidant power of Resveratrol has been proven to be superior to that of vitamins C and E. A scientific study has shown that Resveratrol is 95% effective in preventing lipid peroxidation, compared to 65% for vitamin E and 37 % for vitamin C.

Fight against Free Radicals:

Resveratrol is also known to stimulate the proliferation of healthy cells and the synthesis of collagen by protecting the dermal matrix against toxic enzymes and improving the functioning of fibroblasts responsible for the production of collagen.

Antioxidants would therefore be precious allies to help the skin fight against free radicals produced in high concentration during oxidative stress. As their name suggests, antioxidants are inhibitors of oxidation and they will help remove excess free radicals from cells.

 

Resveratrol (trans-resveratrol) is indeed a polyphenol which is particularly active in all of our cells. It protects them from the destructive effects of free radicals. It also inhibits the oxidation processes (oxidative stress) that cause damage to our cell membranes.

In the early 1990s, the research scientist Serge Renaud was talked about in the United States by explaining the famous French Paradox. His studies tended to prove that the French were more than three times less likely to suffer from cardiovascular disease thanks to the high content of resveratrol in red wine. Since then, numerous studies on the benefits of this antioxidant have highlighted its protective action for the whole of our body.
