Because you don’t want to have the very thin skin that “old” old people have. Healthy skin protects our bodies from water loss, oxidants in the air and infection, and it feels better and more comfortable! Figure. The Madonna dell’Impanatta by Raphael shows you the difference in appearance between young and old skin. Old skin will be unable to protect your body as well as young skin does. There is stuff we cannot change and stuff we can change, so it is important that we learn what good skin care products can do for us. For that, please have a look at Skin Actives. Using run-of-the-mill skin care, even if…

Warning: this is a “heavy” post that may feel to you like you are back in school and not in a good way (like for prom). You don’t have to read it but the objective is to convey to you the complexity of skin metabolism and molecular biology and why you should never look for a “magic” ingredient when it comes to skin youth and health. In short, life (LIFE) is complicated. Your skin is alive. Below the few layers of dead cells in the epidermis, perfectly designed for the tough job of protecting your body from pollution and damage, is the basal cell layer. Here is your stem cells…

As a skin care company, do we need to be cute to be successful? It is too late to change our name, Skin Actives Scientific to something cute like “troll skin” or “sweet minuet”. Philosophy is already taken. What should matter to our customers is whether there are ingredients in other brands that we should envy. Trust me: this does not happen often because we are so cutting edge.We know what works, we are up-to-date with scientific literature and we can find or make anything that is worth gaving. Specifically, do I envy any ingredient in Drunk Elephant? Because if I envied a cute little fridge or a fancy container,…

En primer lugar, es tu responsabilidad (o la mía) leer las listas de ingredientes. En segundo lugar, no tengo nada contra las manzanas. Creo que algunas son deliciosas y excelentes para hacer tortas y que proveen una buena cantidad de vitaminas. Pero no deberían estar en tu producto de cuidado de la piel.

If you can read this, you are probably a human. Next question. What is a stem cell? “It is a an undifferentiated cell of a multicellular organism that is capable of giving rise to indefinitely more cells of the same type, and from which certain other kinds of cell arise by differentiation.” We have stem cells in our skin that will be able to heal your skin if the part of your skin in charge of renewal (stratum basale) gets damaged. Your stem cells have your DNA. If you have been careful (wear sunscreen!) your steam cells’ DNA is intact and non-mutated. What are apple stem cells? Just like your…
