DMAE MAGIC INGREDIENT OF PERRICONE MD

Almost twenty years ago a book by Dr. Nicholas Perricone came out that gave us advice on how to use cosmeceuticals to obtain younger and more elastic skin. In this book the doctor. Perricone focused mainly on the value of the DMAE. DMAE is naturally produced in the body. It’s also found in fatty fish, such as salmon, sardines, and anchovies the. American Journal of Clinical Dermatology found that a facial gel containing 3 percent DMAE was beneficial for reducing fine lines around the eyes and on the forehead when used for 16 weeks. The study also found it improved lip shape and fullness as well as the overall appearance of aging skin. A small studyTrusted Source done on humans and mice suggested DMAE may hydrate skin and improve skin appearance. DMAE protects the cell membrane, protecting it from free radicals and helping cells to expel waste and retain nutrients.At the basis of Dr. Perricone's products there is therefore this magical ingredient mixed with esters of vitamin C and alpha-lipoic acid. And after almost twenty years this recipe is still very valid carried out with other brand new research. That's why my routine is often based on its products like Face Finishing & Firming Moisturizer, which I usually apply in the morning, this lightweight, superior moisturizer is loaded with powerful antioxidants and nourishing nutrients to help firm skin's appearance and minimize the look of fine lines and wrinkles. Perricone's Face Finishing Moisturizer is rich in texture and hydrates the skin, imparting a visibly radiant and smooth appearance. The unique formulation contains alpha lipoic acid, vitamin C ester, and DMAE to help decrease dryness associated with daily activities.Neuropeptide Firming Moisturizer ( I usually apply for the night) for the best hyaluronic acid moisturizer, this cream is formulated with neuropeptides to visibly correct wrinkles, sagging and discoloration; DMAE to visibly lift saggy skin; and hyaluronic acid for essential hydration. I treat the eye area with the Cold Plasma line: Cold Plasma Plus eyes cream packed with powerhouse ingredients: copper tripeptides improve the appearance of firmness and elasticity, Vitamin C Ester reduces the look of dark spots and restores radiance, and Omegas 3, 6 and 9 promote smoother, more supple-looking skin. To celebrate the ten years of the Cold Plasma line I gave myself Cold Plasma Plus + Sub-D / Neck, This iconic treatment for the neck and jawline is better than ever before. I'm really excited to try this product.

PIT STOP HYDRATION

In the morning I hydrate my skin and in the evening I nourish it, but during the day if I feel the need to refresh my skin I do a 'pit stop' and I spray Jowaé moisturizing water on my face. With antioxidant Lumiphenols & Sakura Flower Water All skin types, even the most sensitive. 88% of ingredients of natural origin Hydrates, plumps and quenches thirst. The Lumiphenols are originated from sempervivum tectorum, a plant capable of resisting the most extreme conditions. Their high level of antioxidants helps skin to regain balance and protect itself against daily aggressions. The skin is hydrated and plumped. Rebalanced, it regains its comfort and softness. The complexion is fresh and bright. Immediately afterI apply the Jowaé light moisturizer with antioxidant Lumiphenols and Sakura flower water for normal and combination skin. It combines Lumiphenols with sakura flower water, a beauty water with refreshing proprieties. Skin is moisturised, plumped and balanced. The complexion is fresh and glowing.
In this way my skin is fresh and hydrated all day long.

VITAMINICA

Every morning after washing my face I apply two treatments with vitamin C: I start with the more liquid one and then apply the denser one on top. Florence organic serum with vitamin C and enriched with vitamin E and hyaluronic acid it is free of parabens, silicones and alcohol, it absorbs immediately and its ingredients help to treat fine lines making the skin look radiant and youthful. The serum dries quickly and leaves the skin more taut and plumped. A moisturizer should be applied after the serum, but before applying the cream, I usually apply another more thick serum on the face: Endocare C. Fast-absorbing serum that protects the skin from damage caused by environmental stressors (free radicals, urban contaminants). Its formula combines EDAFENCE®, innovative anti-pollution technology with proven efficacy, against heavy metals, tobacco smoke and urban pollutants with our SCA® Growth Factor Technology with antioxidant activity and repair. In addition, its complete antioxidant formula includes vitamin C and ferulic acid.
 The best thing to do for the skin, however, is to take a lot of vitamin C, and nothing gives me more energy than a good centrifuge or a juice. To make up for the deficiency of this vitamin I assume vitamin C Principium C1000 mg Tre-Tard Vitamin C with triple release for a gradual absorption It is a high dosage Vitamin C supplement, which contributes to the normal function of the immune system and protects cells from oxidative stress. Furthermore, it helps bones, teeth, muscles, skin and joints to stay healthy. Its innovative technology with 3-stage controlled release allows a gradual absorption of Vitamin C throughout the day and therefore it is better used by the body. It also contains Dog Rose and Acerola extracts for an antioxidant action. I usually alternate Principium C 1000 with Principium Super C 500 mg Super C 500 mg is a Vitamin C supplement from Rosa canina and Camu camu fruits. Vitamin C is one of the most important vitamins thanks to its broad spectrum of action: it promotes the normal immune system function, it is an excellent antioxidant and helps protect cells against oxidative stress; it boosts iron absorption and helps reduce tiredness and fatigue.
Vitamin C, as well as being an excellent antioxidant, also supports the body’s natural defences and in this period it's more important than ever!

SPRING EXFOLIATION

Tomorrow is officially spring, but unfortunately we cannot enjoy the good weather for walking in the parks or under the sun. So let's take advantage of this period in which we cannot expose ourselves to solar radiation to exfoliate our skin. In these days I am using three products that are giving me a good result.
In the evening after cleansing the skin, I apply the Filorga re-oxygenating micro-peeling lotion that took inspiration from its expertise in aesthetic medicine to create OXYGEN-PEEL, a daily lotion suitable for all skin types for a new skin effect, Intensive smoothing: (6 acids) micro-peeling cocktail gently exfoliates the skin and smoothes wrinkles and pores. Ultra-fresh hydration: Hyaluronic acid rehydrates and plumps the skin. Radiant complexion: Bio-active oxygen sensors promote cell oxygenation and reveals a fresh and radiant complexion.
Then I apply Perricone MD Exfoliating Peel that proven to increase cell renewal by 100% after 18 days, this liquid peel glides onto skin to target & eliminate dead skin cells, rebalance skin's hydration & plump the appearance of fine lines over time. An ideal final step in any cleansing routine to help reveal visibly smoother, softer, more radiant looking skin. T
o finish I apply Shakti alpha hydroxy acid cream 10% with vitis vinifera, passiflora, ananas sativa and citrus limonum. This cream induces a slight exfoliation of the surface cells, it's indicated in the prevention of the first signs of aging. Used it every evening the small wrinkles are reduced and the skin appears more compact, smooth and brighten.
