The natural active ingredients for beauty by Activa
Skin & Wrinkles
The different layers of the skin and their components are affected by endogenous and environmental factors such as ageing, sunlight exposure, chemicals and mechanical damage.
To maintain and improve the condition of the skin, a variety of skincare products are widely available, but they do not act in depth. Nutrition is known to influence the condition of the skin. Most of what we know of the relationship between nutrients and the dermis comes from the incidence of skin problems due to nutritional deficiencies. It has been shown that improving the diet helps improve the condition of the skin. In particular, one study showed that the wrinkles of elderly people of various ethnic origins living in a sun-exposed area were influenced by the types of food they consumed: 32% of skin variation was predicted by dietary intake.
Research on skin ageing is now focused on cosmetic nutrients, for skin in-depth maintenance and improvement. As the most abundant protein in the human body, collagen peptide supplementation has been the subject of much research. The effects of a collagen hydrolysate mixture daily intake (including 5 g of type I collagen hydrolysate) on the skin of 25 women with dry, rough skin were studied.
After, six weeks of intake, they observed:
- an increase in the moisture of the cheeks, face, forearms and back of the neck
- an improvement of viscoelastic properties (elasticity)
- an improvement of skin smoothness, with less wrinkles and roughness
How to keep your skin looking young?
- Maintain the skin matrix with an optimal complex of marine collagen and elastin, as the degradation of collagen and elastin is responsible for the appearance of wrinkles and skin ageing.
- Stimulate Keratin regeneration
Activa Well Being SkinGlow is a natural complex made of keratin, marine collagen and elastin to pulp and smooth the skin.
Hair & Nails
The growth and vitality of the hair depend on the nutrients and hormones the blood carries to its root: the only effective way to deeply and durably act on its health or to “heal” it is therefore to nourish it from within.
Here are 3 of the main factors of hair loss
- Hormonal imbalance: androgenetic alopecia
A very common condition that affects about 50% of men. It also affects about 15% of women aged 40 and 75% of women over 65. The cause of this abnormal hair loss is linked to the hyperactivity of an enzyme, 5 alpha-reductase, involved in the transformation of testosterone into Di Hydro Testosterone (DHT).
An excessively high level of 5 alpha-reductase will result in the modification of the duration of the hair cycles (shortened growth phase), causing first a thinning of the hair, then a progressive and finally e total disappearance on large areas of the scalp.
- Oxidation: diffuse alopecia
Characterised by fine and thinning hair on the entire scalp, it affects mainly women.
It is most often due to damage caused by free radicals generated by external factors such as pollution, stress, quality of life… Free radicals maintain the inflammation of tissues, promoting the ageing of hair follicle cells (root) and shortening the life cycle of hair.
- Microcirculation: Deficiency loss
It is scientifically recognised that a blood nutrient deficiency, can cause abnormal hair loss, called deficiency loss. The blood supply is anaemic, resulting in shorter hair cycles.
Nails are also sensitive to good nutrition, pollution and harsh treatments. Keratin, make up the cell tissues in nails. Stimulating the production of keratin in our body will support healthy growth and strengthen them.
