Anti-ageing

Welcome to our January 2012 Newsletter

Dear All,

Keeping you up to date with new products, ranges & special offers on our website www.dermacaredirect.co.uk.
I will throw in some of my skincare tips as well!



Hope you all had a fab Christmas and Wishing a happy New Year to you all!
Another year gone and I can’t believe how quickly it has gone. I was heavily pregnant this time last year and now my baby boy is 11 months old and nearly walking!



You may have noticed that we have just started selling the new Neova products.
I am a real fan of the Neova range. Neova is very popular in the States and it was the first clinical skincare company to introduce Copper Peptide Complex technology products. Made famous in their star product, Creme De La Copper, their formulae help to repair photodamaged skin and to prevent and treat the signs of ageing. The products have now evolved with DNA technology to help repair DNA damage and premature skin ageing.



New Neova Products:

NEOVA Advanced Essential Lash - A conditioning formula for replenishing health and volume to the lash line.

NEOVA Power Defense Serum - A highly intensive serum for neutralizing free radicals and supporting collagen production.

NEOVA Breakout Control Acne Treatment Swab - Pre-saturated swabs to fight blemishes and future breakouts.

NEOVA Radiant Skin Cleanser - Exfoliates, revealing fresher, younger-looking skin.

NEOVA Intense Brightening Complex - A highly active serum for illuminating the complexion and evening discolourations.

NEOVA Dermacirculation Formula - A stimulating formula used to improve visible signs of bruising for a quick recovery.

NEOVA Refining Eye Lift - This moisturising eye gel diminishes dark circles, fine lines and puffiness.

NEOVA Microdermabrasion Scrub - Polishes away dead, flaky skin, revealing healthy skin.

NEOVA Maximum Body Repair - A correcting and preventing body treatment to improve the appearance of your skin.

NEOVA DNA Repair Factor Nourishing Lotion - A lightweight moisturiser that repairs epidermal damage.

NEOVA DNA Total Repair - A photodamage-conquering formula.



Theses advanced sunscreens not only shield your skin from UVA and UVB rays but also address damaged cells to promote repair. Complete photoprotection allows your skin to start healing at a cellular level while warding off free radical damage. Lipsome-encapsulated DNA repair enzymes correct sun-inflicted cells as L-ergothioneine prevents premature ageing.

Neova DNA Damage Control Everyday SPF 43 - An everyday sunscreen to prevent sun damage and help repair skin.

Neova DNA Damage Control Active SPF 45 - A highly water-resistant corrective sunscreen.

Try adding a Neova product into your daily skincare regime and see the benefits.
And what’s more, we are offering 10% off all Neova products throughout January!



We are delighted to be selling the heal gel magic in a jar! It has already found a permanent place in many A-list celebrities’ beauty bags. This cream contains a cocktail of active ingredients and works to heal, smooth, calm, firm, renew and protect the skin, plus it can be used all over the body.
With having an accident-prone 5-year-old & nearly-one-year-old learning to walk, I carry a jar in my handbag for treating those everyday injuries!



My Skincare Tip - The importance of regular Exfoliating

In general, even if an individual has only experienced a lifetime of casual sun exposure, skin quality begins to decline in the middle to late '20s. This decline has to do with deeper changes that are in turn reflected in the outer visible layer of skin called the "stratum corneum." In young healthy skin, surface cells of the stratum corneum lay in a compact organized manner like scales on a fish or the shingles on a roof. They provide a coherent barrier that protects the integrity of the skin and enhances its hydration capabilities. The stratum corneum is constantly shedding millions of microscopic cells that are then replaced by newer younger cells as they mature and migrate to the skin surface.

As this process slows down, we see the beginning of something called "increased corneocyte cohesion." Simply put, the dead cells adhere to the surface of the skin much longer instead of shedding. As they remain on the surface longer, they harden and continue to dry out. In the beginning, the changes may be subtle. The skin's surface may feel drier, the texture may begin to coarsen and the skin may not appear as soft and translucent. Moisturisers merely coat the surface of the skin, temporarily wetting the dead dry layer and superficially filling in compromised areas. As a person gets older and the process accelerates, the texture of the skin appears coarser, follicles may appear dilated (or larger), fine lines and wrinkles emerge, and the skin may take on a yellowish or greyish cast. Under magnification, the stratum corneum will appear disorganised and uneven.

Fortunately, with regular use of exfoliating products (like AHA’s, glycolic acid, lactic acid and salicylic acid), exfoliation of the dead skin cells is encouraged to reveal fresher, younger skin. So make sure that at least one of your regular skincare products contains an exfoliating ingredient.
The exfoliating products that I use on a daily basis are the Jan Marini Bioglycolic cleanser & Bioclear, which contain several acids.
