Skin pigmentation problems
Historically man has tried to modify his own skin pigmentation with
make-up being a temporary solution.
Heavily pigmented phenotypes sometimes wish to lighten their skin.
White, red-haired or darker phenotypes look for ways to attenuate
or remove certain hyperpigmentations.
Skin tone key age indicator
Recent research revealed that skin tone and luminosity are key indicators
to the perception of age.
Facial skin colour distribution or tone appears to add or subtract
as much as 20 years to a woman’s appearance by brightening
the overall complexion.
Cumulative UV damage such as freckles, thread veins (vascularization)
can all affect the contrast of skin tone and luminosity and we recognise
these as signs of ageing and hence attractiveness.
Cumulative UV damage influences skin dramatically, which is a major
reason for taking precautionary action.
It is possible to correct or minimise damage causing uneven skin
tone.
A unique modern approach to Skin Lightening
Taking a fresh look at ‘Skin Lightening’ provides some
interesting new actives and considers which pathways lead to hyperpigmentation.
A truly modern solution needs a combination of ingredients.One is
the anti-ageing specific ingredient, the other is a skin brightening
and complexion enhancer. Used in combination in an effective concentration,
the result is a range of products meeting all skin tone problems.
Active - Vitamin C
Excellent percutaneous absorption and acts as pure Vitamin C
Prevention of lipid peroxidation
Scavenging free radicals
Inhibition of melanogenesis and tyrosinase activity
Cell (Fibroblast) activation
Promote collagen synthesis and inhibition of gelatinase activity
Prevention of cell (Keratinocytes) damage
Prevention effect on DNA damage
Active - Emblica
From Phyllanthus emblica fruits a key medicinal plant used in Ayurvedic
medicine.
Cascading antioxidant - as each component neutralises a free radical
it is transformed into another anti-oxidant which goes on to neutralise
further free radicals.
A more potent anti-oxidant than Vitamin C.
Proven skin lightener vs hydroquinone.
Tego Cosmo 250
A natural amino acid derivative that contributes to the regulation
of cellular growth.
Helps to maintain a desirable ph mantle on the skin.
Demonstrated to inhibit tyrosinase activity in melanocytes.
Usage will contribute to brightness and improve the clarity and
evenness of the skin tone.
Myorelaxing & Replumping

of contractile fibres with an effect up to
24 hours

and phytosterols.
Anti-ageing - Collagen plumping
Collagen stimulation versus Vitamin C +57%
Collagen III synthesis +39%
Collagen I:III ratio decreases by a factor of 6
Algal elastic fibres derived from Aosa Seaweed protein to give an
instant sensation of comfort and smoothness
Elastin protection activity +74% higher
Rosehip Oil
Rosehip oil contains polyunsaturated fatty acids (vitamin F) also
known as essential fatty acids (EFA), and when they are absorbed
through the skin, they convert to prostaglandins (PGE), which are
involved in cellular membrane and tissue regeneration.
Rosehip oil contains trans-retinoic acid, which is responsible for
skin rejuvenation and quickens healing. It repairs skin subjected
to excessive sunlight and resultant photo ageing.
The linoleic and linolenic acids in rosehip oil have been shown
to reduce pigmentation of the skin and when used regularly it has
been shown to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
Ylang Ylang Oil
The flower of flowers . . . . . from Indonesia a sweet exotic oil
Soothing and relaxing
Excellent for dry, ageing or mature skin
Other Considerations
One can accelerate the skin lightener’s action by including
an exfoliant - papaya?
Day creams should include an effective protection agent against
both UVA/UVB.
The winning combination of anti-ageing and skin brightening / lightening
is a powerful marketing tool.
Uneven skin pigmentation can be cause by
* Inflammation
* Excessive exposure to sunlight
* Hormone treatment
* Ageing
Epidermal pigments are mixtures of orange phaemelanin and brown/black
eumelanin.
