At Agel we believe that we must promote total wellness and total body health. It is impossible to ignore the skin as it is the largest organism on the body that provide important supportive functions to the entire body. The way you look is directly reflected by what you put in to your body, but it can be even more enhanced by using the best skin care possible. To provide total wellness solutions and ignore skin care would have been irresponsible. Your skin is a dynamic, ever growing organ that is vital. It keeps the good things in and the bad things out. It helps control body heat. When the inner body temperature gets above 98.6 F, we begin to sweat and as the sweat evaporates, it pulls heat from the skin and the blood, which cools down the body. Almost everything the body wants to get rid of is dumped into the skin in one form or another. It alters them chemically to a less toxic form and then either excretes them in sweat, sloughs them off in devitalized cells, or returns them to the body to be excreted by the kidney. Perhaps the most important function of the skin is to provide the protective barrier on the outer surface of the body. This barrier, the stratum corneum, is composed of proteins and lipids, which are fatty or waxy type substances. This barrier controls the rate of water loss from inside the body and prevents water from getting into the skin from outside. The cells and components of the stratum corneum are made up of cells that are produced in the lower layers of the epidermis. Formation of these components requires good nutrition and protection from harmful environmental stress. ADDITIONAL: The skin consists of three layers. The outer layer, the epidermis, keeps vital fluids within the body and keeps bacteria out. Immediately below The epidermis is the dermis, the skin layer rich in blood vessels, nerves, connective tissue, oil glands and hair follicles. Below the dermis lie the subcutaneous or fatty layer of skin, which keeps you insulated from bone-chilling gusts.
Antioxidants are substances that are capable of counteracting the damaging, but normal, effects of the physiological process of oxidation in tissue. Antioxidants are nutrients (vitamins and minerals) as well as enzymes (proteins in your body that assist in chemical reactions). They are believed to play a role in preventing the development of such chronic diseases as cancer, heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer's disease, Rheumatoid arthritis, and cataracts. Oxidative stress occurs when the production of harmful molecules called free radicals is beyond the protective capability of the antioxidant defenses. Free radicals are chemically active atoms or molecular fragments that have a charge due to an excess or deficient number of electrons. Examples of free radicals are the superoxide anion, hydroxyl radical, transition metals such as iron and copper, nitric acid, and ozone. Free radicals containing oxygen, known as reactive oxygen species (ROS), are the most biologically significant free radicals. ROS include the radicals superoxide and hydroxyl radical, plus derivatives of oxygen that do not contain unpaired electrons, such as hydrogen peroxide, singlet oxygen, and hypochlorous acid. Because they have one or more unpaired electrons, free radicals are highly unstable. They scavenge your body to grab or donate electrons, thereby damaging cells, proteins, and DNA (genetic material). The same oxidative process also causes oils to become rancid, peeled apples to turn brown, and iron to rust. It is impossible for us to avoid damage by free radicals. Free radicals arise from sources both inside (endogenous) and outside (exogenous) our bodies. Oxidants that develop from processes within our bodies form as a result of normal aerobic respiration, metabolism, and inflammation. Exogenous free radicals form from environmental factors such as pollution, sunlight, strenuous exercise, X-rays, smoking and alcohol. Our antioxidant systems are not perfect, so as we age, cell parts damaged by oxidation accumulate. In reference to skin protection it has been proven that by applying antioxidants directly to the skin you can protect and slow down the aging process. The top layer of your skin is the Epidermis. But, it is the Dermis, the second layer of skin that must be taken care of in order for individuals to have long term healthy skin. t is .3 mm on the eyelid and 3.0 mm on the back. The dermis is composed of three types of tissue that are present throughout - not in layers. The types of tissue are: * collagen * elastic tissue * reticular fibers
About one percent of the oxygen we breathe is converted into dangerous free radicals. Even though our DNA can repair itself remarkably well, some damage remains. Over the years, DNA damage accumulates and results in decreased functionality. Damage caused by free radicals to DNA does not have to happen, at least at the rate we see it happening everyday. Free radicals are highly reactive and unstable molecules missing an electron. When you burn food for energy, breathe smog or have a stressful event in your life, you split a pair of stable oxygen molecules and create single oxygen electrons. In order to stabilize, or &quot;pair up&quot;, these free radicals grab on to healthy cells and &quot;steal&quot; an electron. What results is another unstable molecule or another free radical is created, and a chain reaction begins. Thus. free radicals have the potential to create a tremendous amount of cellular damage.
Basic Explanation: Free-radical damage occurs on an atomic level. Molecules are made of atoms, and a single atom is made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Electrons are always found in pairs. However, when oxygen molecules are involved in a chemical reaction, they can lose one of their electrons. This oxygen molecule that now only has one electron is called a free radical. With only one electron the oxygen molecule must quickly find another electron, and it does this by taking the electron from another molecule. When that molecule in turn loses one of its electrons, it too must seek out another, in a continuing reaction. Molecules attempting to repair themselves in this way trigger a cascading event called &quot;free-radical damage.&quot; What causes a molecule to let go of one of its electrons, generating free-radical damage? The answer is oxygen or any compound that contains an oxygen molecule, such as carbon monoxide, hydrogen peroxide, and superoxide) plus sunlight, and pollution. Antioxidants prevent unstable oxygen molecules (made unstable by loss of one electron) from interacting with other molecules (taking one of their electrons) and consequently causing them to become unstable, a process that starts the free-radical chain reaction. Fortunately, a vast assortment of antioxidants can be found in both the human body and in the plant world. So what does that have to do with wrinkles? No one is exactly sure, but theoretically wrinkles appear when the free-radical damage originates from natural environmental factors and fails to be cancelled out by some amount of antioxidant protection. If we don't get enough antioxidant protection, either from our own body's production, from dietary sources, or from antioxidants, including those we put on our skin, free-radical damage continues unrestrained, causing cells to break down and impairing or destroying their ability to function normally. You may be asking: With all that free-radical damage taking place, and all this oxygen around us (the air we breathe contains about 20% oxygen), how is it that we are still walking around? Why are we still living? The answer to that is antioxidants. Additional: Free radicals are highly reactive and unstable molecules missing an electron. When you burn food for energy, breathe smog or have a stressful event in your life, you split a pair of stable oxygen molecules and create single oxygen electrons. In order to stabilize, or &quot;pair up&quot;, these free radicals grab on to healthy cells and &quot;steal&quot; an electron. What results is another unstable molecule or another free radical is created, and a chain reaction begins. Thus. free radicals have the potential to create a tremendous amount of cellular damage. Anti-oxidants are an important part of the body's cell-protection system. This is due to their ability to neutralize free radicals. The billions of cells in our body are continually being exposed to these free radicals. Many scientists now believe that this cellular damage, along with other factors, may lead to the development of a number of chronic diseases. The most popular anti-oxidants are vitamins A, C and E. Science now believes we need a &quot;complex&quot; of anti-oxidants to truly neutralize free radical damage. It is similar to a &quot;hot potato&quot; where the free radical is handed down from one anti-oxidant to another, until it is finally neutralized. We carry some wonderful products that effectively deal with free radicals. Check the product section and look for the DDF Moisturizer C3, the MD Formulation Vit-A-Plus product line, and the Oxygen Boosting Complex. Free Radicals and Antioxidants There are millions of processes occurring in the body and all of them require oxygen. Approximately 2-3% of the oxygen consumed by every cell is converted into free radicals. Over time, oxygen can kill or destroy cells and eventually lead to disease, premature aging or even death. The body naturally produces free radicals but an overproduction can lead to internal or external damage. When there is an imbalance between free radicals and detoxification we have what is called “oxidative stress”. These oxidants can also be produced or introduced by external agents such as pollution, stress, etc. The cells within the body are “oxidized”, causing the breakdown of cells, DNA, proteins, and fat. This reaction, in turn, debilitates the immunological system as well as speeds-up the aging process. Antioxidants (anti- meaning against) reduce these harmful effects by repairing the damage done to these molecules and decreasing their destructive power. By definition an antioxidant is a molecule capable of reducing oxidative damage (damage due to oxygen) which is likely caused by free radicals. Normal bodily functions regularly strip an oxygen molecule of an electron, making it unstable. The molecule then tries to stabilize itself by taking an electron from a nearby molecule. This “theft” leads to free radicals. The body usually produces its own antioxidants but if the damage is too extensive or the menace is too high then this production is never enough. A diet rich in antioxidant foods can help, but if you take into consideration that on a daily basis the body is bombarded by smoke, pollution, stress, etc., you can easily understand why it is so important to seek added help. A number of enzymes and vitamins are known to counteract the damaging effects of oxidation. Some enzymes are produced by the body. The most common ones are Superoxide Dismutase, Catalase, and Glutathione. These antioxidants break-down the harmful radicals and help eliminate them through the system in the form of bodily waste.
Petroleum is used in more products than you can imagine. It is a barrier to moisture, but used because of it’s ability to make the skin feel smooth and soft for a time. It will not, however, penetrate the skin and allow a moisturizer to work. Sodium lauryl sulfate is a cheap detergent ommonly used in cosmetic cleansers, hair shampoos, bath and shower gels, bubble baths, etc. - It is probably the most dangerous ingredient used in skin and hair-care products. In the cleaning industry SLS is used in garage floor cleaners, engine degreasers, car-wash soaps, etc. It is very corrosive and readily attacks greasy surfaces. Propylene glycol is used to make antifreeze and de-icing solutions for cars, airplanes, and boats. It is also used in hydraulic brake fluids and inks used in stamp pads, ballpoint pens, and print shops.
There are seven products in the system. These seven products were created as a recipe of sorts. Each of them created as a step toward the next with properties in each product designed to work with the properties of the other products in the line. When you are cooking and you leave out an important ingredient, does it affect the outcome? It’s the same with skin care. When you skip a step or simply decide that you don’t need do do a part of the routine, you sabotage your success and the system won’t work as well for you as it might if you would just take the time. There are really three categories to consider when you look at building a daily skin care regimen: 1. Cleanse, 2. Treat, 3. Moisturize. Cleanse: Daily Gel Cleanser, Misting Gel, Gel Scrub Treat: Gel Serum, Eye Gel Moisturize: Daily Gel Moisturizer, Nourishing Night Gel
I have asked hundreds of people in dozens and dozens of ABBs which product in the skin care line is their favorite and at least 75% of them say the scrub.
I removed anti-oxidant from the name as it has changed for most countries just recently.
I removed anti-aging from the name as it also had to be removed per the department of agriculture. ** This single product is consistently out best seller for the individual products every month.
This is Prakash’s favorite product ever. He has developed hundreds of moisturizers and has never loved one the way he loves our daily moisturizing gel. He uses it every day for both moisture and hydration after he shaves, but he also uses it to shave with! This is the product that demonstrates incredibly well. Share it with people. Pump a bit on their hand and make them watch it melt in to the surface.
Our Nourishing night gel has a name that does not lie! This gel has 7% vitamin E in it. That is the highest we have ever seen on the market and this is consistently one of the products people send their testimonials in on because of the amazing properties of the cream.
is expected to witness steady growth through the rest of the decade and reach US$44.8 billion in sales by 2010. Developed regions such as the United States, Japan and West European countries are currently the largest markets for skin care products. However, emerging markets in Latin America, Africa & Middle East and Asia-Pacific are likely to exhibit strong growth over the coming years. China and Brazil are the major regional markets that are expected to drive future growth in the global skin care market.
