There is a new men's facial cleanser that I would like to tell you about, because it is unlike anything else on the market. It is a deep cleansing mask that pulls out dirt and grime, absorbs excessive oils, and actually improves your skin’s health. Healthy skin is better looking. I think everyone knows that.
What you might not know is that advances in cell rejuvenation technology have given us the opportunity to delay the signs of aging. In fact, we can actually reverse damage that has already been done on a cellular level. The key is protein.
Amino acid proteins are the building blocks needed by every cell of the body. Skin cells need specific amino acids including, hyaluronic acid, keratin and collagen. Until recently, there was no men's facial cleanser that contained anything except soap. Now, we have a new product that contains the protein that we need to stimulate the production of new cells and fibers, as well as other cleansing ingredients. Here’s a look at them.
Kaolin
Kaolin is a clay extract that absorbs oil and gently pulls grime out of the pores. It has mild disinfectant properties that promote healing. It’s perfect for use on irritated, inflamed or blemished skin and helps to prevent new blemishes from forming.
The run-of-the-mill men's facial cleanser contains petroleum-based alcohols and the synthetic antibacterial agent triclosan. Petroleum based alcohols are drying. Triclosan is bad for the environment and may be bad for our health. Studies indicate that it combines with the chlorine in our water to form carcinogenic chloroform gas.
Bentone Gel
The average company would stop with one ingredient, if they had something as effective as kaolin, but this new men's facial cleanser includes other active ingredients that work together. Bentone is another clay extract that improves the cleansing ability of kaolin.
Manuka Honey
All varieties of honey are known to promote healing, both when taken orally and when applied directly. Scientific evaluation has shown that enzymes in honey have antibacterial and antioxidant activity.
Antioxidants are important to our skin’s health and appearance, because they are our only defense against free radical molecules. Free radicals perform some important and necessary functions within the cell, but exposure to UV radiation from the sun and air pollution increases their number and activity. The molecules get frenzied and start to damage the cellular membrane, the collagen fibers and eventually DNA strands.
Dermatologists say that this molecular damage causes wrinkling and sagging. Antioxidants can prevent the damage and repair damage that has already occurred.
Scientists in New Zealand have shown that manuka honey has antioxidant and antibacterial activity that is much higher than any other variety. The ingredient can now be found in daily cleansers, anti-aging lotions and moisturizers.
Other Natural Ingredients
An extract from sugar beets has natural anti-inflammatory activity. Shea Butter reduces age spots. Macadamia oil is proven to protect skin cells from the signs of aging. The new men's facial cleanser contains all of these. What more could you ask for? If you have a minute to spare, please feel free to browse my website.
