BOOKS Vitamin C: Everything You Need to Know (Cinna Health Products does not endorse books or authors listed in the BOOKS.) |
FACE TIME Take your vitamin C. Make your skin beautifully happy. Vitamin C is an essential factor in the skin health and appearance. It protects skin against stress and damage. It also has become a part of everyday personal skin care as a component in many cosmetic products. Vitamin C maintains a healthy, young looking complexion through its effect on collagen, a protein supporting skin and skin blood vessels. It also helps the skin to heal, since collagen is necessary in the wound healing. Vitamin C defends skin against damages by oxidative stress. As the most important antioxidant in the skin, it neutralizes free radicals, the harmful products of oxidative stress. The skin, as a barrier between the body and environment, is permanently exposed to environmental stress that generates ROS (reactive oxygen species). Certain skin conditions, such as acne or rosacea, generate free radicals subjecting skin to oxidative stress. (Read more on rosacea and acne as oxidative stress skin conditions in the inserts below). Oxidative stress created by free radicals results in oxidative damage to the skin and can induce a number of undesirable skin responses, including inflammation. Skin has a well-organized system to counter oxidative stress, and vitamin C is in the first line of that system. For example, even after minimal exposure to the UV light, a free radical generating factor, the amount of vitamin C in the skin can diminish by 30 %. In ozone-polluted air of big city, the vitamin C loss in response to the ozone stress can be as great as 55% percent. This means that vitamin C interacts instantly and directly with the products of oxidative stress and by neutralizing them protects cells against oxidative damage. The loss of vitamin C can be compensated by supplementation of vitamin C. When taken daily, as a complement to the everyday personal skin care, the supplement increases amount of vitamin C available in the skin. A good supply of vitamin C helps the skin to counter the oxidative damage by environmental stress or skin conditions, such as rosacea or acne. This makes the skin less sensitive to sunburns, alleviates skin redness and keeps down the blood flow in facial small blood vessels. In summary, vitamin C supports all types of skin and helps to stay healthy and beautiful at every stage of life or skin condition:
Skin prefers a supplement of vitamin C. Vitamin C, as ascorbic acid or its derivatives, is used in cosmetic products for variety of applications, among others, in reduction of the erythema of rosacea skin. Cosmetic products, delivered through the skin surface, are limited by the ability of a vitamin C component to enter the skin through the skin barrier and be included into the skin cells. Unlike most cosmetic applications, vitamin C delivered as a supplement enters the body, is transformed to an active form and included into skin cells’ many functions. For rosacea or acne skin it means better antioxidant protection at the sites of the oxidative damage brought by these skin conditions. Similarly, systemic (oral) delivery would be preferred in how vitamin C supports skin health and appearance through its effect on skin collagen and wound healing. We suggest our Vitamin C-Ginger-Calcium Antioxidant Blend tablets as an antioxidant support for rosacea or acne skin. It will help to increase the antioxidant abilities of the body to counter oxidative damage to the skin by rosacea or acne. Based on our own data as well as opinion of other specialists, antioxidant support of everyday skin care helps attain a healthier, beautiful complexion for skin with rosacea or acne-like symptoms.

ROSACEA AND YOU ACNE AND YOU • Skin barrier. Keep it in good shape. Rosacea or acne skin is extremely sensitive and hyper-reactive to many environmental, dietary as well as everyday skin care and skin hygiene products. Resulting flare-ups aggravate skin condition and disrupt even more the natural skin barrier already compromised by rosacea or acne. For that reason, keeping healthy skin barrier should be an important part of everyday care for the skin health and appearance. Skin is a physical barrier to the environment. Any alterations in the barrier properties or actual damage by external or internal factors affect barrier function and result in skin health problems. A compromised skin barrier can facilitate bacterial infections, result in less effective skin repair, promote blotches, rashes, blemishes or skin disfigurations, just to mention a few. Since a damaged skin barrier looses water rapidly, skin can become dry, flaky, cracked and inflamed. This in turn is a first step towards infections aggravating its condition. Rosacea is often recognized as a facial skin’s barrier condition, characterized by higher then normal water loss showing as visible skin dryness and extreme skin irritability. In acne, the impaired water barrier together with blocked hair follicles and oil glands is blamed for comedo formation. Also excessive oil (sebum) secretion, skin inflammation, bacterial colonization, skin blemishes and skin breaks all impair the acne skin barrier function. For all these reasons, protecting the skin’s barrier function in rosacea or acne should be a consideration for everyday skin care. First, topical cosmetic products used everyday should not dry out the skin or bring any additional irritation that might aggravate the barrier condition of skin compromised by rosacea or acne. Noredol® Skin Care Gel can be a cosmetic of choice as it has a soothing, gentle formula that calms the skin without unwanted irritations and reduces appearance of redness, blemishes and flare-ups. Noredol® can be especially good choice for everyday care. It helps maintain healthy, beautiful skin without leaving visible residue and does not interfere with makeup or other cosmetic products. Second, products that support barrier integrity of rosacea or acne skin are products that help in the skin recovery. The recovery is driven by growth of new skin cells that replace the old, damaged cells in the constant turn-over process. The cell turn-over helps to repair skin damage and restore healthy, functional skin barrier. Vitamin C and calcium have a profound role in the formation of a functional skin barrier. As active agents in skin cell proliferation, skin differentiation and skin cell membrane formation, they regulate the skin cell turn-over and consequently the functional quality of the skin barrier. Rosacea and acne skin needs special attention to keep the replacement of old damaged cells efficient, and the skin barrier repaired. Adding supplemental vitamin C enriched with calcium in a pill as a daily addition to everyday skin care would be a reasonable choice for a person with rosacea or acne. It keeps the skin barrier in good shape and is an important step to a healthier, beautiful complexion. • Your genes and acne. What to know about skin heritage. Acne is one of the most common skin disorders, affecting most of the adolescent population, at the rate between 35% and 90%. At present, there are only a few reports concerned with finding an association between acne and particular gene or group of genes, and most of them address genes coding for proteins regulating seborrheic glands. The genes of interest also include those responsible for hormonal and bacterial aspects of acne symptoms. These preliminary reports indicate that the characteristic symptoms of acne: the oily skin, testosterone imbalance and colonization of the pores and skin surface by P. propionicum can be tracked to particular gene(s) regulating sebum excretion by seborrheic glands/oil glands, testosterone production and ability of the cell membrane to prevent bacteria attachment to the cell surface. How these highly scientific reports can be useful for us? First, they create new options for medicinal approaches to acne problems. On the other hand, for all of us they can be an invitation to look more closely at our genealogic connections to understand better our possible health prognosis. Finding out the “acne-connection” in our hereditary tree should not be a reason for despair but rather an incentive to make a good plan for everyday preventive as well as cosmetic care for the skin even before any unwanted symptoms appear. |

NOREDOL® SKIN CARE GEL COSMETIC OF CHOICE FOR YOUR NEEDS • The combination approach: supplement support for your skin. At present, dermatologists often apply a combination approach to severe acne or rosacea, when inflammatory processes are already in full. Their approach usually includes systemic (oral) anti-inflammatory antibiotics combined with topical application of skin products. Both rosacea and acne are the skin conditions that require constant, everyday care to keep the symptoms under control and to help prevent or diminish the chance of them developing into the most severe stages. We believe that especially in the early stages of rosacea, when facial skin redness is a major symptom, a number and severity of flares can be kept to the minimum by diligent application of topical cosmetics with support of systemic supplements. We introduced a combination of vitamin C, ginger and calcium in one pill as a supplement to our topical cosmetic product, Noredol® Skin Care Gel. Noredol® has prooven as a cosmetic of choice for facial redness, blemishes and flare-ups in the skin affected by rosacea or acne. Its soothing and gentle action can be enhanced by our vitamin C supplement that delivers an everyday dose of the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory cover for rosacea or acne skin. Such a cover helps to keep the oxidative stress level that is markedly enhanced in these skin conditions under control and maintains a healthy and beautiful complexion. • Noredol® after your laser IPL treatment. “I was given a sample of Noredol after an IPL treatment and I have to say during a period of stress when I flare that if I apply it, it does have some soothing properties and in about a half hour my face does not hurt or feel flushed.” .” That testimonial from a Noredol® user is a good news for those who plan to have a laser procedure such as IPL for their skin problems. IPL, which stands for Intense Pulse Light, is a new, non-surgical (non-ablative) technique to treat several skin problems including persistent red complexion, broken capillaries and telangiectases, acne scars, large pores, sun spots and other skin blemishes. It is also used as a rejuvenation tool for the treatment of fine lines and wrinkles. An IPL procedure does not damage the surface of the skin as the intense light is delivered to the deeper parts of the skin (dermis) leaving the top layer of the skin (epidermis) untouched. It is advertised as a technique that is safe: it requires virtually no recovery time, patients can even apply makeup before leaving the office and return to work the same day. However, side effects are reported including transient redness and general skin irritation. These can be alleviated by application of Noredol® Skin Care Gel. As cosmetic that reduces it also provides the moisturizing that is needed and recommended after a laser procedure. Thanks to its soothing, cooling, gentle formula, Noredol® is a cosmetic of choice for post laser IPL treated skin by helping to reduce the skin redness and irritation that are often side effects of the procedure. |

MILLENNIA OLD OPINION: EVERYTHING GOOD CAN BE FOUND IN GINGER. Ginger has a long history as a spice for cooking and as an herbal remedy in the folk medicine of many cultures. The ancient Greeks ate ginger wrapped in bread to prevent nausea from the big feast. For millennia, Chinese sailors have taken ginger to avoid seasickness. The Bible (Solomon’s Song 4:14) lists calamus, a spice obtained from the plant closely related to ginger, among the most precious “chief spices”, together with “all trees of frankincense”, myrrh, aloes and cinnamon. A proverb from ancient India maintains that everything good can be found in ginger. Ginger today is an important spice in Asian and Western cooking, and has increasing reputation as a medicinal plant. Ginger is a common name for a plant of Zingiberaceae family of tropical and subtropical perennials, that originated in South Asia. Many plants from the family contain aromatic oils that are used in making condiments, perfumes, and medicines. Ginger, turmeric and cardamom are the most important economic spices, produced in great quantities for international trade. Commercial ginger is made from the root of the ginger plant, Zingiber officinale, that is actually the underground fleshy stem called a rhizome. The root is either preserved by candying or dried and powdered for medicines and spices or sold fresh as a produce. The name “ginger” comes from the Middle English gingivere that directly derived from the ancient Latin zinziberi. However the origins of the name “ginger” dates back over 3000 years to the Sanskrit word srngaveram, meaning “horn root”, that obviously alludes to the ginger root appearance. Cultivated for millennia in China and India (the first reference can be found in the 3000 B.C. Chinese writings), ginger reached the West at least two thousand years ago. It was recorded as a subject of the Roman tax in the second century after being imported via the Red See to Alexandria. By the 13th century, it can be found in French tax records and is a part of English cooking recipes and prescriptions written by physicians, as evidenced in the 13th century work “Midday”. In the 14th century Europe, ginger was the most popular spice, next to pepper. In recent years ginger, both fresh and dried, has become increasingly popular in the United States. During the 1990s, on average, the US imported more than 4,000 metric tons of ginger per year. Valued for the distinctive tang it lends to cuisine, ginger root has been used for millennia as a medicinal remedy. Chinese medical texts from the fourth century B.C. prescribe ginger for treating nausea, diarrhea, stomachaches, cholera, toothaches, bleeding, and rheumatism. Ginger is still present in the contemporary Chinese medicine as a remedy for a number of health complaints. As an approved drug recommended for indigestion and motion sickness, ginger is listed in the official German pharmacopoeia. In modern times, ginger has been extensively studied for a broad range of medicinal properties. At present, there is a quite good collection of data indicating that ginger, by relaxing peripheral blood vessels, works as a circulatory regulator. It is also described as a factor preventing formation of new blood vessels. In agreement with the long tradition, ginger is confirmed as an anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial remedy, and interestingly, it kills Helicobacter pylori, bacteria often recognized as one of the roots for the development of rosacea condition. All this contemporary medicinal data fits quite nicely into the millennia old opinion handed down to us by wise men of India that says: everything good can be found in ginger. |
