The future has arrived. Skin care to drink!

World showbiz stars talk mysteriously about "beauty drinks," scientists develop innovative formulas, and we follow the rapid development of a major skin care trend. Beauty begins from within - this is the formula for radiant skin of the future. And it has come together with a novelty Wellness!

Many ancient myths and legends about "elixirs of youth" that turned back time. Modern scientists have succeeded in doing what the alchemists tried to do. It is proved that it is possible and even necessary to influence the skin condition in a complex way. Some ingredients work much faster and more effectively when taken orally than when used in cosmetics. For example, ceramides which are the basis of Aqua Glow drink with Ceramosides™ and lingonberry.

Our skin consists of three layers. The uppermost layer, the epidermis, acts as a natural barrier: it protects the other layers from damage and penetration by bacteria and harmful substances. The epidermis has four layers on all parts of the body except the palms of your hands and feet, where it has five layers. New cells form in the basal layer and gradually move upwards during their lifecycle. As they die, they form the upper, horny layer of the epidermis. The cells of the stratum corneum are held together by the "cement" of epidermal lipids, and ceramides are an important part of this cement. 

Human skin contains nine ceramides, which have three main tasks: reducing transepidermal water loss (excessive evaporation of moisture from the skin surface), protecting against toxins and bacteria, and binding horny layer cells together to ensure optimal regeneration rate. 

Aging processes and environmental influences - frost, heat, dry air - lead to changes in the composition of the stratum corneum. Loss of ceramides causes hypersensitivity, flaking, dryness and wrinkles. An optimal amount of ceramides needs to be maintained at all times to strengthen the epidermis and thereby keep the skin hydrated. 

Ceramides have long been known as a skin care ingredient, but modern research shows that it is when they are acted upon from within that they restore the protective barrier in record time.

Aqua Glow drink with Ceramosides™ and lingonberry contains phytoceramides of wheat. The prefix "phyto" means that the ingredient was derived from the plant. Clinical studies have shown that the Ceramosides™ ingredient in the supplement improves skin hydration and reduces the appearance of wrinkles after just 15 days of supplementation. 

The ceramides in Aqua Glow's unique formula are enhanced by a whole complex of ingredients. The Swedish super berry cranberry is rich in antioxidants which protect the skin from adverse effects of free radicals that cause premature aging. Vitamin B3 stimulates cell turnover and improves elasticity. Vitamin C supports the synthesis of collagen, a structural protein in the skin that begins to gradually break down after age 25.

The Aqua Glow drink can be taken continuously or as a course in preparation for an important event. It is an important addition to your NovAge care routine and helps to improve the condition of the skin throughout the body. You can support your skin from the inside out by taking a supplement, but don't forget to take a thorough care of your skin with your favorite set of products: only a comprehensive approach will help you achieve dramatic results!
