Skincare from the Vine: Caudalie Skin Care Products Utilize Grape Seed Technology

Sacramento, CA (PRWEB) June 16, 2008 -- Many people aren't aware that grapes can do amazing things for the skin. Skincare-News.com's latest article, "Skincare from the Vine: New Uses for Grapes," explains the benefits of grapes and how they can be incorporated into a skincare routine.

The powerful ingredients:

* OPCs are antioxidants that fight harmful free radicals, protecting from collagen loss and skin breakdown. In addition, they also keep blood vessels strong, allowing blood circulation to deliver beneficial nutrients to skin. These nutrients aid in repairing skin cell damage, writes dermatologist Nicholas Perricone, M.D., in his book, The Clear Skin Prescription: The Perricone Program to Eliminate Problem Skin.

* Resveratrol is another antioxidant found in grapes and wine. Some research suggests it shields against skin cancer. According to one study, resveratrol defends skin cells from skin cancer following exposure to UVB rays by lowering survivin (which controls cell division), reports Science Daily.

So, what's so important about survivin? It's actually "overexpressed in most human cancers, but absent in normal adult tissues," reports the article, "and is considered a promising therapeutic target for novel anticancer therapies."

Product picks

Many skincare companies are eagerly embracing the technology of grapes by using grape and vine extracts from French vineyards in their products, writes Elizabeth Khuri in The Los Angeles Times. Fortunately, you don't have to travel to France to get grape skin care.

* Day creams with grape and grape seed extract perform double-duty. They protect your skin from harmful environmental damage while smoothing and hydrating skin for a flawless look. Combine these with sunscreen to protect skin from UV damage. This way, your skin will be protected year-round.

* Night creams work while you sleep to undo the day's damage. Creams with grape seed extract are particularly suited for this task: Research has shown grape seed extract is effective at wound healing and building up epidermal tissue.

* Body lotions made with grape ingredients offer skin-smoothing and antioxidant benefits from head to toe

* Hand and nail creams containing grape antioxidants reverse the daily damage we inflict on our delicate hands -- a body part we often neglect, even though spotted or wrinkled hands can add years to our appearance.

* Lip conditioners that use grape technology are a necessity for smoother, younger-looking lips. Antioxidants repair damage that can leave lips looking thin and frail.

As adults, many of us understand the damaging effects of UV rays, but are you sharing this knowledge with your children? We all want to protect our children, and shielding them from the sun is no exception. Most parents are successful in reminding their kids to put on sunscreen on a daily basis, at least during the summer months. But do your children really understand the dangerous impact of the sun, or are they just obeying a command? Teach your kids all about sun safety, so covering up and playing smart outdoors becomes a life-long practice.

Anti-aging formulas, such as serums and lotions, are the most common products that take advantage of green tea's antioxidant benefits. Known for its potent anti-inflammatory properties, green tea extract is also 20 times more antioxidant powerful than vitamin C and provides superior protection from free radical damage," dermatologist Fredric Brandt tells iParenting. This defense against free radicals is especially important for sun protection. "Studies have shown that a product containing at least 5 percent green tea extract may help prevent skin cancer when applied before sun exposure along with sunscreen," according to Real Simple So what makes green tea so successful at healing the body?

Coping with Rosacea

Rosacea is skin disorder, characterized by persistent, red flush or acne-like breakouts on the cheeks, nose, mouth and forehead. In many cases, rosacea can cause the skin to become extremely sensitive to topical agents such as lotions or skin treatments, which can leave the skin burning or stinging. Other common side effects of rosacea include soreness, irritation or a swelling of the eyelids, which can result in blurred vision. Rosacea sufferers often have dry skin, yet may think the skin is oily due to the small bumps which can accompany this condition and resemble blemishes.

Grape Seed Extract

Grape seed is just that: the seed, or seeds, from grapes. Also known as Vitis vinifera, grape seed is a rich source of oligometric proanthrocyanidins (OPCs), which protect the skin from free radicals that damage skin cells and collagen (the protein that serves as the connective tissue responsible for supporting our skin). Most commonly, these free radicals result from pollution, smoke and UV rays. Some research suggests grape seed extract facilitates wound healing. An Ohio State University study found that when applied topically, grape seed extract helped heal wounds faster with less scarring by building epidermal and connective tissue. The study also showed that the tissue grew back denser, thereby strengthening its structure.
