  63. <p>Aquaporins, specifically <strong><em>aquaporin 3 (AQ3)</em></strong>, are found abundantly in the skin epidermis and are emerging as a <strong><em>game-changer in our Melanopeel </em></strong>skincare options, offering surface hydration and deep, long-lasting rejuvenation.</p>
  64.  
  65.  
  66.  
  67. <p>Prolonged <strong><em>sun exposure, acne, environmental toxins, and aging can reduce the number of AQP3 </em></strong>in the epidermis, disrupting the skin&#8217;s water balance. Reduction in aquaporins 3 results in a <strong><em>disrupted skin barrier</em></strong> and worsens some skin conditions like <strong><em>acne, dermatitis (eczema) and psoriasis</em></strong>. </p>

  74. <p>Indeed, the function of aquaporins aligns with their role as channels that <strong><em>facilitate water movement among cells</em></strong>, and this is anatomically important to the skin&#8217;s physiology. A higher quantity of aquaporins promotes increased water distribution, while a lower quantity causes skin dryness since trans-epidermal water loss from keratinocytes causes skin dryness &#8211; this is regulated by our many aquaporins.  <strong><em>Boosting aquaporin function through our Melanopeel creams &amp; serums </em></strong>is crucially important for improving skin hydration by restoring keratinocyte hydration balance. They also helps <strong><em>reduce inflammation, dryness, and skin redness.</em></strong> </p>

  205.  
  206.  
  207.  
  208. <p>The main reason why CBD has therapeutic effects is that it has <strong><em>anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory </em></strong>properties. In addition to these properties, CBD comes with many&nbsp;vitamins and minerals healthy for the body and skin, including:&nbsp;</p>

  223.  
  224. <p>A fact that few people know is that most CBD skin care has <strong><em>zero or negligible amounts of the phycho-active THC.</em></strong> Where the skin is concerned, it is the binding of the CBD molecules to<strong><em> CB1 &amp; CB2 receptors </em></strong>that make the skin magic. Your skin still gets the benefits of plant <strong><em>cannabinoids, plant terpenes, flavonoids, vitamins, minerals, and plant proteins</em></strong> without the need for THC.</p>

  231.  
  232. <p>The human body has cannabinoid or CBD receptors, and some of them, called <strong><em>cutaneous ionotropic cannabinoid receptors,</em></strong> are found in the skin. Receptors are either grouped together, forming a sense organ, as in the case of the ear or the eye, or scattered like those of the skin.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

  342. <p>Ceramides act as a <strong><em>barrier to protect the skin from external contaminants</em></strong>. Every day, we are exposed to both natural and man-made dangers. These include environmental pollutants like dust, bacteria, and fungi. Harsh chemicals from makeup, toners, or perfumes can also cause damage if they are not kept in check by the lipid barrier on our skin.</p>

  350. <p>Experts have postulated that a low concentration of ceramides could lead to skin disorders. Studies show that people with fewer ceramides are more likely to develop skin conditions such as <strong><em>psoriasis and eczema, which affect skin permeability and integrity.</em></strong></p>

  362. <p>Our natural production of ceramides diminishes as we age. This results in wrinkles, dryness, and dullness. Luckily, we can take some steps to prevent this or to regain our youthful appearance. Applying ceramide-containing products and taking <strong><em>ceramide supplements can help keep in moisture and bring back that supple, hydrated, soft dewy look.</em></strong> </p>

  386. <p>We&#8217;ve mentioned that ceramides are made up of sphingosine and a fatty acid molecule. The following are some of the more prominent types of your own ceramides.</p>
  387.  
  388.  
  389.  
  390. <p><strong>Ceramide 1 or EOS</strong> &#8211; This was discovered in 1982 as the first type of ceramide. It is made up of sphingosine plus linoleic acid and functions to bind the skin together. Ceramide 1 works together with Ceramide 3 to maintain the skin barrier&#8217;s integrity.</p>
  391.  
  392.  
  393.  
  394. <p><strong>Ceramide 2</strong> – This is also known as NS or NG.</p>

  399.  
  400.  
  401.  
  402. <p><strong>Ceramide 3 or NP</strong> &#8211; This is made up of phytosphingosine plus stearic acid. It works with Ceramide 1 to keep toxins out of the body while maintaining the skin&#8217;s water content.</p>
  403.  
  404.  
  405.  
  406. <p><strong>Ceramide 6-II or AP</strong> &#8211; This is a common ingredient in skin care products containing ceramide.</p>
  407.  
  408.  
  409.  
  410. <p><strong>Ceramide 9 or EOP</strong></p>
  411.  
  412.  
  413.  
  414. <p><strong>Ceramides 1, 3, and 6-II</strong> are particularly beneficial for bringing moisture back to dry skin.</p>
  415.  
  416.  
  417.  
  418. <p>We hope you now better understand the importance of protecting the ceramides within your skin, and how our ceramide supplements can help your skin become<strong><em> touchably softer and better hydrated.</em></strong></p>

  460. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">3 Main Types</h3>
  461.  
  462.  
  463.  
  464. <p>The <strong>3 different types</strong> of collagen have different functions, and are produced by the body naturally. Around your mid-twenties though, collagen production will decrease steadily, and supplementing your body’s collagen can become increasingly important.</p>
  465.  
  466.  
  467.  
  468. <ul><li><strong>Collagen Type 1 </strong>– Helps with skin elasticity, strengthens nails, thickens hair, minimizes the appearance of fine lines and other signs of aging, improves metabolism, and supports healthy bones</li><li><strong>Collagen Type 2</strong> – Supports joint and cartilage health</li><li><strong>Collagen Type 3</strong> – Promotes hydration, skin elasticity, metabolism, and improves gut health</li></ul>
  469.  
  470.  
  471.  
  472. <p>Outside of the body’s natural collagen production, collagen may come from different sources too. The most common source of collagen is cow bones and fish skin.</p>
  473.  
  474.  
  475.  
  476. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">How to Use Defy-Aging Collagen Skin Infusions:</h3>
  477.  
  478.  
  479.  
  480. <p><strong><em>Collagen types 1 and 3 bio-active complexes are found in Melanopeel&#8217;s proprietary blended Defy Aging Skin supplements.</em></strong> They pretty much function the same way, and are absorbed by the body similarly as well.</p>
  481.  
  482.  
  483.  
  484. <p>Collagen supplements for the skin (Types 1 and 3) should be taken in the morning, preferably not at the same time as taking collagen supplements for the joints (Type 2), which are usually taken before bedtime. </p>
  485.  
  486.  
  487.  
  488. <div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignright size-full"><a href="https://melanopeel.com/product/clear-skin-defy-aging-supplements/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img decoding="async" width="500" height="500" src="https://aestheticskinblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Collagen-vitamins.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-8743" srcset="https://aestheticskinblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Collagen-vitamins.jpg 500w, https://aestheticskinblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Collagen-vitamins-300x300.jpg 300w, https://aestheticskinblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Collagen-vitamins-100x100.jpg 100w, https://aestheticskinblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Collagen-vitamins-293x293.jpg 293w, https://aestheticskinblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Collagen-vitamins-390x390.jpg 390w, https://aestheticskinblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Collagen-vitamins-200x200.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></a><figcaption><strong>Defy Aging Collagen</strong></figcaption></figure></div>
  489.  
  490.  
  491.  
  492. <p>Though collagen is naturally available in the body, they can’t be absorbed by the body as a whole in  supplement form. That&#8217;s because collagen get broken down into smaller amino acids first by your stomach acids. These then need to be rebuilt to target your skin, and then form bio-identical collagen that your skin can actually use. </p>
  493.  
  494.  
  495.  
  496. <p>The amino acid sequence found in collagen supplements are a <strong><em>different combinations of the 19 amino acids that make up the collagen produced by the human body.</em></strong></p>

  593. <p>A big part of the usefulness of phytic acid in the diet is its ability to limit or prevent the absorption of certain minerals, such as <strong><em>calcium, iron, and zinc</em></strong>. While that may sound like a bad thing at first, research studies have found that a balanced intake of phytic acid is not a health risk. Rather, it may have <strong><em>protective benefits by acting as a chelating agent</em></strong>, preventing the overabundance of minerals, and metals that may lead to damage on the DNA level. </p>

This same effect also helps to keep the cells healthier and moisturized. This leads to improved appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, making the skin look smoother.</em></strong></p>
  880.  
  881.  
  882.  
  883. <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>COLLAGEN</strong></h4>
  884.  
  885.  
  886.  
  887. <p>Collagen is another substance that the body naturally produces. It plays a key role in maintaining skin elasticity, as well as bone and joint health. As the body ages, it produces less collagen. This leads to poor skin, bone and joint health.</p>

  899. <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>GLUTATHIONE</strong></h4>
  900.  
  901.  
  902.  
  903. <p>The body, particularly the liver, naturally produces glutathione. It acts as a potent antioxidant, working to help detoxify the body. It also helps in stimulating the immune system. Studies found that supplementing with glutathione can have a few benefits, especially on skin health.</p>
  904.  
  905.  
  906.

  1110. <p>To answer the question &#8211; <strong><em>&#8220;Do I Need Monthly Facials &amp; Peels?&#8221;, the response is a simple one. No. </em></strong>To be specific &#8211; <strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">No, not if you are using a Melanopeel regime</span></em></strong>. Let&#8217;s explain.</p>
  1111.  
  1112.  
  1113.  
  1114. <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Monthly professional treatments are not necessary for all patients:</strong></h4>
  1115.  
  1116.  
  1117.  
  1118. <p>New patients starting out on an anti-acne, anti-aging, acne scar, or pigmentation management regime will usually require a <strong><em>bang-start series of 3-6 treatments.</em></strong>  These treatments may include a combination of treatments such as professional peels, microneedling, extractions, or laser treatments. </p>
  1119.  
  1120.  
  1121.  
  1122. <blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><p>Most patients will need a bang-start to their medical skin care regime.</p></blockquote>
  1123.  
  1124.  
  1125.  
  1126. <p>Each person will have a different regime, as each person presents with different skin and different skin conditions. An experienced aesthetic physician will know the best way forward, and also how to change treatment plans based on how your skin responds.</p>
  1127.  
  1128.  
  1129.  
  1130. <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>What happens after your bang-start series of treatments?</strong></h4>
  1131.  
  1132.  
  1133.  
  1134. <p>Once improvement is evident, then comes the tricky part. You will probably hear some clinics say that you need <strong><em>monthly maintenance</em></strong>, and some pretty costly treatments. <strong>Like what?!?</strong> <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/72x72/1f632.png" alt="😲" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Your Melanopeel clinic, however, will give you different advice. Chances are, you will be encouraged to become active in your home-care, use safe home peels, and <strong><em>become a proactive partner</em></strong> in managing your treatment results.</p>
  1135.  
  1136.  
  1137.  
  1138. <blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><p>Your Melanopeel clinic empowers you in cost-effective skin management. </p></blockquote>
  1139.  
  1140.  
  1141.  
  1142. <p><strong><em>Melanopeel patients have a keener awareness of their skin</em></strong>. Your clinics are trained in the art of patient empowerment. Our philosophies are simple &#8211; we safely instruct you on the best management techniques for using effective home care regimes, and <a href="https://aestheticskinblog.com//how-to/how-to-do-melanopeel-home-peels/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="home peels (opens in a new tab)">home peels</a>. Our home peels make a difference &#8211; <strong><em>based on safe but powerful levels of anti-acne, anti-aging and anti-pigmentation ingredients,</em></strong> we have the ability to effect greater skin transformations. </p>
  1143.  
  1144.  
  1145.  
  1146. <p>What this means is that after your series of treatments, <strong><em>you can do some of the important skin maintenance at home, and more cost effectively.</em></strong> Chances are your professional treatments will be every 2-3 months after your jump-start series to simulate your skin.  </p>
  1147.  
  1148.  
  1149.  
  1150. <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Why the Melanopeel maintenance philosophy works:</strong></h4>
  1151.  
  1152.  
  1153.  
  1154. <p>There are a number of positive reasons Melanopeel gets such great results with skin maintenance. Our unique philosophy is based on decades of combined years experience of medical skin care professionals &#8211; <strong>patients prefer easy cost-effective regimes</strong>, and they prefer to be educated and control how their skin behaves. </p>
  1155.  
  1156.  
  1157.  
  1158. <blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><p>Patients want to better understand their skin care.</p></blockquote>
  1159.  
  1160.

  1162. <p>This significantly reduces dependance and commitment to expensive treatments, all while working within the safety zone of clinical efficacy.<strong><em> The 7 pluses of the Melanopeel approach are:</em></strong></p>

  1225.  
  1226. <p>Hyaluronic acid (HA) is not a new discovery. In fact, it is something that our bodies naturally produce. But how does adding it to beauty products help improve our skin?</p>
  1227.

  1229.  
  1230. <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Hyaluronic Acid 101</strong>:</h3>
  1231.  
  1232.  
  1233.  
  1234. <p><a href="https://aestheticskinblog.com//hydration/how-good-is-your-hyaluronic-acid/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Hyaluronic acid (opens in a new tab)">Hyaluronic acid</a> in the body is mainly found in fluids in the joints and eyes. However, the HA used in cosmetic products and medicines is derived from <strong><em>bacteria fermented in the laboratory</em></strong> and rooster combs. The hyaluronic acid used in these products is typically called sodium hyaluronate.</p>
  1235.  
  1236.  
  1237.  
  1238. <p>HA has many
  1239. vital roles in our body, including skin repair, tissue regeneration, wound
  1240. healing and diagnosis of cancer, as well as having anti-inflammatory
  1241. properties. As a result of its potential in tissue regeneration, it has become
  1242. an essential ingredient in many cosmetic and nutricosmetic products.</p>
  1243.  
  1244.  
  1245.  
  1246. <p>Products using an HA formulation display notable properties including skin hydration which can be seen as improvement in wrinkles and space filling. HA is also <strong><em>anti-inflammatory and soothing</em></strong> to the skin.</p>
  1247.  
  1248.  
  1249.  
  1250. <p>This happens because HA has a unique ability to retain water, making it the main molecule involved in moisturizing the skin. In fact, within skin cells, it can retain up to a thousand times its weight in water. </p>
  1251.  
  1252.  
  1253.  
  1254. <p>Loss of cellular HA occurs with age,  and the amount of HA that the body produces declines leading to skin more susceptible to signs of aging such as wrinkles and sagging. </p>
  1255.  
  1256.  
  1257.  
  1258. <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>HA creams and serums will not replace volume lost deep within your cells &amp; skin:</strong></h3>
  1259.  
  1260.  
  1261.  
  1262. <p>We will explain later &#8211; even the smallest sized HA particle will not penetrate into your skin cells. To get true volume replacement, your <strong><em>physician</em></strong> will need to actually <strong><em>inject </em></strong>a special form of hyaluronic acid <strong><em>dermal filler</em></strong> deep into your skin&#8217;s dermis.</p>
  1263.  
  1264.  
  1265.  
  1266. <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Molecular Weight Matters</strong>:</h3>
  1267.  
  1268.  
  1269.  
  1270. <p>Hyaluronic acid molecules have <strong>molecular weights in the 4,000 to 8,000,000 Dalton</strong> range. The molecular weight of an HA molecule determines how deep it penetrates into the skin. HA molecules with lower molecular weight can <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="enter the deeper layers of the skin (opens in a new tab)" href="https://aestheticskinblog.com//anti-aging/your-skin-does-not-absorb-everything/" target="_blank">enter the deeper layers of the skin</a>.</p>
  1271.  
  1272.  
  1273.  
  1274. <p>HA molecules are generally divided into two categories – <strong><em>high molecular weight</em></strong> and <strong><em>low molecular weight</em></strong>. HA molecules with high molecular weight do not penetrate the skin, so can be used as temporary surface skin moisturizers. On the other hand, low molecular weight HA molecules have better penetration ability making them better for products that are regenerative and anti-irritant. Let&#8217;s further compare the two:</p>
  1275.  
  1276.  
  1277.  
  1278. <table class="wp-block-table has-subtle-pale-pink-background-color has-background is-style-regular"><tbody><tr><td><strong>HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT HA</strong></td><td><strong> LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT HA </strong></td></tr><tr><td>■ Thicker consistency</td><td>■ Thinner consistency </td></tr><tr><td>■ Stays on skin&#8217;s surface</td><td>■ Can penetrate into the upper layers of the skin</td></tr><tr><td>■ Draws moisture from  skin &amp; can dehydrate the skin  </td><td>■ Draws moisture into the skin &amp; can re-hydrate the skin </td></tr><tr><td>■ Shorter lasting effects</td><td>■ Longer lasting effects</td></tr><tr><td>■ Cheaper &amp; easy to manufacture</td><td>■ Expensive &amp; difficult to manufacture</td></tr></tbody></table>
  1279.  
  1280.  
  1281.  
  1282. <p><strong><em>High molecular weight of greater than 1,800,000 Dalton</em></strong> &#8211; due to its size,  cannot penetrate the deeper layers of the skin. Once it evaporates, it can draw moisture away from your skin, and in fact dehydrate your skin.</p>
  1283.  
  1284.  
  1285.  
  1286. <p><strong><em>Low molecular weight in the range of 4000 to 1,000,000 Dalton</em></strong> &#8211; this has a longer-lasting anti-wrinkle effect since it can penetrate deeper into the skin. A study found that applying products using low molecular weight HA in their formulations resulted in wrinkle depth being significantly reduced. </p>
  1287.  
  1288.  
  1289.  
  1290. <p><strong><em>Even low molecular weight HA can penetrate no deeper in the skin than the lower epidermis.</em></strong> This means that these products can only act as a supplement and will not replenish your body’s natural supply of hyaluronic acid. </p>

  1373. <h3 class="wp-block-heading"> <strong>The 500 Dalton Rule:</strong> </h3>
  1374.  
  1375.  
  1376.  
  1377. <p>In product formulation, it is established that virtually all <strong>molecule sizes larger than 500 Dalton are unable to penetrate the skin</strong>. Daltons are an extremely small measurement of protein weights. Every medical skincare product formulator know this &#8211; &#8220;Human skin has unique properties of which functioning as a physicochemical barrier is one of the most apparent. The <strong>human integument is able to resist the penetration of many molecules</strong>.&#8221; &#8220;The molecular weight (MW) of a compound must be under 500 Dalton to allow skin absorption. Larger molecules cannot pass the corneal layer.&#8221; Let us look further at how this rule impacts on absorption.</p>
  1378.  
  1379.  
  1380.  
  1381. <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>So how much of your skin care is really absorbed?</strong></h3>
  1382.  
  1383.  
  1384.  
  1385. <p>To better answer this, we turn to<strong> our cosmetic scientists</strong> who formulate our products &#8211; the <strong>true experts</strong> behind your skin care. To simplify this, we will look at sizes &#8211; <strong>the skin &amp; product particle size, and try to relate this to skin anatomy &amp; physiology.</strong></p>
  1386.  
  1387.  
  1388.  
  1389. <p><strong>SKIN SIZE:</strong> Products need to penetrate many layers of the outer skin, the <strong>epidermis</strong> <strong>(100,000 nm thick)</strong>.  First crossing will be your water-proof lipid barrier, the stratum corneum, then comes the many cell layers in the epidermis before the product can be absorbed into your dermis. The <strong>dermis</strong> is the critical layer to get to, since this will be the first entry point into your <strong>bloodstream</strong>. </p>
  1390.  
  1391.  
  1392.  
  1393. <p><strong>SKIN CARE SIZE:</strong> Skin care needs to be approximately <strong>500 Dalton (1 nm) </strong>or less to even begin thinking of partial penetration into the skin. </p>
  1394.  
  1395.  
  1396.  
  1397. <div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignright"><img decoding="async" width="400" height="497" src="https://aestheticskinblog.com//wp-content/uploads/2020/03/product-skin-penetration-anatomy.gif" alt="skin care absorption" class="wp-image-7841"/><figcaption><strong>Skin care must be smaller than 1 nm to penetrate to the Dermis. This will be like a pea trying to cross a football field!</strong></figcaption></figure></div>
  1398.  
  1399.  
  1400.  
  1401. <p><strong>SKIN DEFENSES</strong>: Let&#8217;s say that your product has begun partial penetration into the skin. Here is what happens next to most of your product &#8211; <strong>immune scavenger cells</strong> destroy it, and then skin <strong>catalase enzymes</strong> will break them down. Essentially, after your skin care has to <strong>swim a marathon</strong> across the world&#8217;s oceans to find a target to work on, it&#8217;s likely to get eaten and destroyed by a shark.</p>
  1402.  
  1403.  
  1404.  
  1405. <p><strong>THE GREAT DISTANCE</strong>:  To put this into perspective of relative sizes &#8211; a molecule the size of a <strong>pea will need to cross a football stadium to reach it&#8217;s target</strong>.</p>
  1406.  
  1407.  
  1408.  
  1409. <p>So the simple answer is this:</p>
  1410.  
  1411.  
  1412.  
  1413. <blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><p>Very little of your skin care gets absorbed and carried into your bloodstream</p></blockquote>

  1421. <div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignright is-resized"><img decoding="async" src="https://aestheticskinblog.com//wp-content/uploads/2020/03/skin-resurfacing-peel.gif" alt="medical grade skin care" class="wp-image-7838" width="200" height="150"/><figcaption><strong>Medical grade skin care protects &amp; strengthens your skin rather than damage it.</strong></figcaption></figure></div>
  1422.  
  1423.  
  1424.  
  1425. <ol><li>Products are <strong><em>screened for safety &amp; efficacy</em></strong>.</li><li>They have systems which enable better <strong><em>targeted skin penetration</em></strong> for the treatment of acne, hyperpigmentation, aging skin, &amp; melasma.</li><li><strong><em>Skin strength &amp; resilience</em></strong> &#8211; proper medical grade regimes actually strengthen your skin against attacks from the environment by promoting the <strong><em>formation of healthier new skin cells</em></strong>.</li><li>Medical grade cosmeceuticals also have a <strong><em>drug-like medicated function</em></strong> &#8211; they can actually <strong><em>treat</em></strong> the skin.</li><li><strong><em>Skin protection</em></strong> &#8211; they can  help <strong><em>protect your skin from precancerous lesions</em></strong>, e.g. retinoids and deeper chemical peels.</li></ol>

  1429. <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The bottom line:</strong></h3>
  1430.  
  1431.  
  1432.  
  1433. <p>Your <strong>skin does not absorb 60-100%</strong> of what is put on it. If this were true, you would be able to feed yourself through your skin. It is <strong>better to invest in medical grade skin care which actually aims to make your skin healthier and function at more optimum levels. </strong></p>
