Why Do Sheep, Seaweed And Skin Care Go Together?

You’d expect that ultramodern ingredients at the cutting edge of skin care research would be providing the answers to better anti aging products. However the reverse is in fact the case, and so many ingredients that have been used for centuries may well be the best way to ensure the best health for your skin. Seaweed and sheeps wool are 2 good examples.

What do sheep and seaweed have to do with skin aging? In fact there has been a seaweed skin care link for hundreds of years. For centuries Japanese women have used seaweed for great 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.

Modern science has now discovered seaweed and anti aging go together and the result is a wide range of seaweed skin care products. The reasons Wakame is so good for your skin have to do with the actions of a particular enzyme. It’s called hyaluronidase and it gradually breaks down the collagen and elastin in 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?

Again it’s all about those 2 important proteins collagen and elastin. Modern scientists have also found that there are components in the wool of sheep which help the skin produce more collagen and elastin by itself. This also helps maintain levels of collagen and elastin in the skin as you age, and a new product, called Cynergy TK, is the result. It’s actually a patented ingredient that is used in the best skin care products.

So as you can see there is a clear seaweed skin care link, and sheeps wool is a big part of it. As a result there are some excellent seaweed extract skin care products available using extracts of Phytessence Wakame as well as Cynergy TK.
