Time for Renewal with Plant Stem Cell Technology
Stem Cell Stem cell is the name of the main cells that create the tissues and organs that create the living metabolism. They differ from other cells in our body. Their basic feature is that they do not serve a purpose yet. Since they have not yet experienced the differentiation stage, they tend to meet the existing need. In case of damage to any tissue or organ, they have the ability to divide unlimitedly and transform into the required cell. There are various methods of obtaining and creating stem cells, but they are generally examined in 3 types. Totipotent, multipotent and pluripotent are the names of these 3 types of cells. The totipotent cell has the widest area of use because it has the ability to transform into any cell, tissue and even any organ. Multipotent cells are cells used in more advanced stages and do not have the ability to transform into any cell, tissue or organ. Pluripotent cells have a wide range of transformation abilities, but this ability is not as broad as totipotent cells. Stem cells have an extraordinary potential to develop many different cell types in the body. Stem cells form the basis of all cells. These cells, which have not yet differentiated, have the ability to divide and renew themselves unlimitedly, and to transform into organs and tissues. When stem cells divide, they either remain as stem cells or transform into cells with more diverse characteristics and functions, such as skin cells. Stem cells, which are the center of tissue renewal, can only divide a limited number of times.

It cares for your skin from the inside and outside with a more lasting effect. A holistic approach to skin care will not only benefit your skin, but your entire body. Your skin is the largest organ in your body and gives you a signal about what is happening physically, emotionally and mentally. With a holistic approach to your daily skin care routine, you can have a healthier, younger and more vibrant appearance. A quality skin care product can solve some of your skin problems for a while, but only a holistic approach to skin care offers a sustainable solution. Having a daily skin care routine that takes care of your skin both inside and out will have more lasting effects. The goal of this article is to provide you with simple steps that you can easily add to your daily skin care routine. When you do, not only will your skin improve, but the benefits will spread to more areas of your life. What is the Holistic Approach? The definition of holism is related to the idea that it should be examined as a whole. A holistic approach means looking at something in its entirety, from all aspects. This means addressing the whole person, including their physical, emotional and mental health, while also taking into account social factors. In short, it encompasses everything that helps us live a healthy and happy life. It is essential to embrace the holistic approach as all components of an entity are interdependent and to achieve overall health and create and maintain a healthy and happy version of our body, mind and soul. What are the Benefits of a Holistic Approach to Skin Care? With a holistic approach to skin care, not only will your skin look healthier and younger, but your entire body will benefit from it and your quality of life will increase in all aspects. Most people find that they have more energy. Their mood improves. Their overall health improves. Of course, the positive effects will vary for each person. There is a popular saying that goes, “Beauty is more than skin deep.” Indeed, true beauty goes beyond physical appearance. It encompasses one’s mind and sense of well-being, and therefore radiates from the inside out. Rather than simply trying to place a “band-aid” over the symptoms of skin issues such as skin sensitivity, dryness, wrinkles, pigmentation, acne, etc., it works to address the underlying causes of these issues. So many times in holistic skincare, the application of topical skincare products is combined with oral supplementation or what we call ‘edible skincare’. Skin Skin grows from the inside out. Throughout your life, your skin will constantly change for the better or worse. In fact, your skin will renew itself approximately every 27 days. Proper skin care is essential to maintain the health and vitality of this protective organ. Your skin is affected by many factors like diet, alcohol, smoking, pollution, chemicals, stress, your emotions and even your mindset. Healthy Aging – By Practicing Self-Care Let's be clear: Every age has its beauty. Limiting the definition of beauty to youth blinds our vision to so much wonder and diversity of beauty. Pop culture clichés aside, you may find that many people tend to look better as they age. Again, it may sound like a cliché, but beauty really is more than meets the eye. True, lasting beauty should encompass the body-mind-spirit triad. Think about it for a moment: Ideally, beauty gains more depth as a person matures and develops. Regardless of age, most people desire firm, healthy skin that glows with the vitality and enthusiasm of life that reflects the timeless and ageless heart and soul. The good news is that it is absolutely possible to age gracefully and healthily. However, it requires complete self-responsibility, as no one can go through this process for someone else. By taking care of one’s body, mind, and spirit as a whole, nourishing it with healthy foods, good skin care, and good lifestyle choices and habits, healthy aging is something everyone can do for themselves. Nutrition Your skin uses the foods you eat as building material to build new skin and repair itself. When you eat foods full of nutrients that your skin needs, your skin will thrive in a healthy, supple, and smooth way. In fact, many skin conditions are caused by a lack of the right types of nutrients that the skin needs. If you have frequent food cravings, it could be a symptom of a deficiency in some type of nutrient that your body needs. Many nutrients are vital for healthy skin and younger-looking skin. Eat Quality Protein You should consume quality protein every day as part of your daily skin care routine. Almost every cell in the body, including our hair, skin, bones and muscles, is nourished by the building blocks of protein. Protein is used in the production of collagen. Collagen gives skin strength and structure, but it can break down as we age, causing saggy, dehydrated skin and visible wrinkles. For healthy and youthful looking skin, your daily skin care routine should include consuming adequate amounts of quality protein. Adding quality protein to your daily skin care routine is one of the best anti-aging treatments. Animal protein – Including adequate quality protein sources such as fish, meat, and eggs in your diet will strengthen your collagen levels, making your skin firmer and less prone to wrinkles. However, people who consume foods that are very high in animal protein may experience harmful changes to their gut microbiome. Research suggests that people who consume a lot of protein, especially animal protein, have a higher risk of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a chronic condition. Soy protein may support skin health by providing high-quality protein needed to build and maintain collagen, which is essential for connective tissues. Soy isoflavones may also act as antioxidants to protect collagen from damage caused by free radicals. Consume Plenty of Antioxidant-Rich Foods Why is it important to consume plenty of antioxidant-rich foods, such as fruits and vegetables, for healthy and youthful-looking skin? There is something called free radicals in our bodies. It occurs as a byproduct of your body's natural functions. It is also caused by consuming processed foods, chemicals in food, pesticides, alcohol, smoke, pollution and stress. Too many free radicals cause inflammation and damage to the skin, which can lead to wrinkles, age spots, and sagging skin. What antioxidants do is neutralize these free radicals. Antioxidants help the skin repair itself. Inflamed skin inhibits the skin’s rejuvenation process. By reducing inflammation, antioxidants allow the skin to repair itself and repair visible damage. Some antioxidants, such as vitamin C, can also stimulate collagen production, which is vital for youthful skin. Eat Omega-3 Rich Foods Every Day Omega-3 is essential for healthy and glowing skin. It benefits the skin in the following ways: Regulating oil production to increase hydration Delaying the aging process of the skin to prevent wrinkles Increase skin brightness Alleviate many skin problems Increase skin elasticity Drink Plenty of Water Every Day An adult’s body is made up of 60% water! Water evaporates from your skin to regulate your body temperature. Drinking enough water can help combat a variety of skin conditions, including psoriasis and eczema. It does this by helping your digestive system flush toxins from your body. This will help with healthy, glowing skin. You can add things like fresh fruits and herbs to your water to make it more palatable.

How to Determine Skin Type?
How to determine skin type Did you know that each skin type responds differently to each ingredient? Commercial products that are made for each skin type may not really be the best for your skin! That’s why knowing your unique skin type is essential for your skincare routine. Let’s take a look at how to determine your skin type. Skin type is all about how much sebum your skin produces. Sebum is basically the oily substance produced by your sebaceous glands. It protects your skin from infections and keeps it moist. According to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), the five main skin types are: Normal skin Dry skin Oily skin Combination skin Sensitive skin Note: Acne can affect any skin type. How Can I Determine My Skin Type? Visiting a licensed aesthetician or dermatologist can help you determine your skin type, but you can also do a skin type test at home. Bare Face Test Start by washing your face with a mild cleanser. Pat dry gently with a soft, clean towel. After 30 minutes, it's time to check your skin type clues: Normal skin: You won't notice any redness, dry patches, or oily patches. Dry skin: Your skin looks tight and flaky. Oily skin: Your face looks or feels oily. Combination skin: Your T-zone (nose and forehead area) looks shiny, but the rest of your face is dry. Sensitive skin: Your skin is red, itchy, or inflamed. Blotter Test This test is super simple, but it won't help identify sensitive skin. Simply press a blotting paper onto different areas of your face. Then, hold the paper up to a light to see how much oil has been absorbed. Normal skin: There is a small amount of oil residue. Dry skin: There is almost no oil residue. Oily skin: There is too much oil residue. Combination skin: You have some oil residue on your T-zone but little to no residue on the rest of your face. 1. Normal Skin Type Skin that is neither too oily nor too dry is considered normal skin type. Symptoms of normal skin include: Fine pores Smooth and clear skin Not being hypersensitive to chemicals or skin allergens How to treat normal skin? What to use: If you follow a regular skin care routine, your skin will be in great shape. Those with normal skin are advised to follow an oily skin care routine during the summer or more humid months and a dry skin care routine during the winter or drier months. 2. Dry Skin Type Dry skin produces less sebum than other skin types. It can lead to flaky, cracked, or itchy skin. Symptoms of dry skin include: Very tight pores Rough skin texture Dull or blotchy skin Prone to irritation or infection The skin feels tight and lacks elasticity How to treat dry skin? What to use: Those with dry skin should generally use gentle, non-foaming cleansers . It’s also recommended that you use moisturizers instead of lotions. Some great ingredients to look out for include glycerin, ceramides, and hyaluronic acid. Things to avoid: Alcohols, sodium chloride, artificial fragrances, benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid and preservatives, etc. 3. Oily Skin Type You can blame oily skin on overactive sebaceous glands. While it can be hereditary for some people, hormonal changes, skin care products, and diet can also be contributing factors. Oily skin symptoms include: Oily or shiny skin Skin appears thick or plump Enlarged or clogged pores Frequent blackheads, whiteheads and other types of acne How to treat oily skin? What to use: Those with oily skin should use stronger cleansers because they can tolerate them and help prevent acne. Salicylic acid, glycolic acid, and retinol are great options. When it comes to moisturizers, you can opt for lightweight or gel-based lotions. What to avoid: Avoid comedogenic ingredients like petrolatum, cocoa butter, isopropyl isostearate, sodium laureth sulfate, and capric acid. You should also be careful with natural oils like soy, coconut, avocado, olive, or evening primrose oil. 4. Combination Skin Type Combination skin is a mix of oily and dry skin. Some parts of the face produce too much sebum, while others don't produce enough. Combination skin symptoms include: Oily T-zone Dryness around the cheeks, eyes and mouth Clogged skin or large pores on the forehead, nose or chin How to treat combination skin? What to use: Combination skin can be a bit tricky to care for. You’ll need to apply different products to different areas of your face, or use the least drying product your skin can tolerate. You should also choose your exfoliant wisely. Start with glycolic acid before moving up to salicylic acid or retinol. What to avoid: This includes avoiding preservatives like alcohol, fragrances, and parabens. They can make oily areas oilier and dry areas drier. 5. Sensitive Skin Type A 2019 study found that 70 percent of women and 60 percent of men have some degree of sensitive skin. It can be caused by super dry or damaged skin that is more prone to reactions. It can also be a symptom of skin disorders like rosacea, eczema, or allergic contact dermatitis. Sensitive skin symptoms include: A flushed complexion Being able to use only very mild skin care products Your skin itches, burns, and blushes easily How to treat sensitive skin? What to use: If you have sensitive skin, you should choose a mild cleanser. You may also want to look into moisturizers designed for very sensitive skin. What to avoid: Products that contain active ingredients or fragrances can burn sensitive skin. You should also be wary of “anti-aging” ingredients like retinoids. Other Skin Conditions 1. Acne-prone skin Acne-prone skin can occur at any age and with any skin type: Genes: Research shows that acne-prone skin types may be genetic. Excess oil: Excess sebum is a common contributor to acne.

What to avoid: Oils, fragrances, silicone, lanolin and sodium laureth sulfate. 2. Dehydrated Skin Don't confuse this with dry skin. Dehydrated skin has nothing to do with your skin type. It simply means your skin is thirsty and needs more moisture.

Here are some signs to look out for: Itchy skin Sunken eyes Dull complexion More visible lines and wrinkles How to treat dehydrated skin? What to use: Since this is a matter of hydration, simply drinking more water or eating foods like soup, fruits, and vegetables will help.

Skin Care Tips for Winter Months
Skin care recommendations for winter months Skin Care Tips for Winter Months If you live in a climate where the winter months are particularly harsh, you know that cold weather can wreak havoc on both your face and body. Your skin can become extremely dry, flaky, and sometimes painful or itchy cracks can appear. We’ve compiled the most important tips for protecting your skin, which is most exposed to external factors during the cold months, and keeping it moist. Just as you change your summer clothes to winter clothes to protect yourself from cold weather conditions, you should also change your skin care routine to better adapt to the cold weather. Light moisturizers and serums may not be enough to protect your skin on cold and windy winter days. Our winter skin care routine suggestions are as follows: 1. Facial Cleanser Every proper skincare routine starts with a clean slate – that is, washing your face. No matter what time of year it is, washing your face should be a regular part of your beauty routine. In the winter months, you can prevent excessive dryness by using a powerful facial cleanser. You can also get help from a soothing and hydrating product like micellar water. Micellar water is a gentle, no-rinse cleansing alternative that removes daily impurities from the skin’s surface without over-drying it. 2. Moisturizer The best time to apply moisturizer is when your skin is still damp. Because when your skin is slightly damp, it helps to maintain hydration. Apply moisturizer to your face and body after cleansing or showering. As for what to use, try Intensive Nourising (an intensive moisturizer for dry or very dry skin) and Gentle Emollient Shower, which is also suitable for sensitive skin. Both moisturizers are formulated with Punica Granatum and nourishing oils to provide nourishing comfort to mature, dry skin. 3. Hand Cream Most of the time, you only moisturize your face, thinking that it bears the brunt of the winter weather, but you shouldn’t forget your hands. Your hands, just like your face, come into direct contact with the cold air; especially if you’re not used to wearing gloves. Also, washing your hands frequently can cause extra dryness. Make sure you have a rich hand cream in your bag so that you can moisturize your hands on the go. We recommend Intensive Nourising , which soothes mature, very dry skin on the face, neck, chest and hands. 4. Soap According to dermatologists, many soaps can strip your skin of moisture. In the winter, instead of harsh soaps, it will be good for your skin to take a shower with unscented, moisturizing soaps and moisturizing shower gels such as Gentle Emollient Shower . Steps You Can Add to Your Skin Care Routine During Winter Now that you have a better understanding of what happens to your skin in cold weather and the necessary product changes, it’s time to talk tips. A few simple lifestyle changes and a little extra care for your complexion can help you manage your skin condition in a controlled manner. 1. Pay Attention to Your Whole Body When it comes to moisturizing, it’s not just your face that needs extra moisture in the winter. Skin on every part of your body can also be prone to dryness depending on the weather. Keep a moisturizing body lotion in your bathroom for easy access and apply it daily. 2. Keep a Moisturizing Face Spray in Your Bag No matter how well you moisturize, you may still need a boost of moisture midday. This is where facial mists come in handy. Just apply a little bit when your skin is feeling dry. Check out hydrating facial mists formulated with vitamin C and coconut water. 3. Use a Moisturizer with Quality Content Winter weather is notorious for sucking moisture out of the air, so a good moisturizer is an excellent way to keep your skin hydrated. 4. Exfoliation If exfoliation is not part of your regular skincare routine, you should start now. Exfoliation is the process of removing dead skin cells from the surface of your skin, and when dead skin cells build up on the surface, it can leave your skin looking dull. You can benefit from both face and body exfoliation. For your face, add the Rejuvenating Facial Exfoliation to your nightly skincare routine. It eliminates dull, uneven skin tone and rough texture to reveal the younger-looking skin underneath.

Deep Care with Liposome Technology
Deep care with liposome technology Liposomes are composed of tiny vesicles. They are microscopic, usually spherical structures formed by lipid layers resembling biological membranes with an aqueous phase between them. The epidermis acts as a shield on the skin. For this reason, substances applied to the skin surface remain in the first layer and are prevented from reaching the lower layers. The fact that active substances remain in the upper layer of the skin prevents the products from affecting the skin. As a result of many years of research, experts have developed a carrier system for active ingredients. This technology, which allows active ingredients to be trapped in capsules and reach the lowest layers of the skin, is called Liposome Technology. However, Liposome Technology can enable the active ingredients in the products to reach the lower layer in order to complete their tasks. The active ingredients you want to be liposomalized are trapped inside liposome spheres, these capsules allow the uppermost layer of the skin (epidermis) that acts as a shield to reach the lower layers through the cells. Thus, the product helps to show its full effectiveness. This intensive care serum, obtained with its high stability Vit-C complex and its high purity and most advanced concentrated Hyaluronic Acid composition, targets expression lines. The liposome carrier system in its content is a technology that supports the active ingredients to reach the target point and have a faster and stronger effect. It helps prevent future blemishes and wrinkles.
