HEALING AND PROTECTING THE SKIN NATURALLY: A Unique Panel

Tuesday, September 9 | 10:30am-12:00pm

What does healing and protecting the skin naturally really mean? From Functional Cosmetics containing more and more Natural Ingredients to the Beauty from the Inside approach that created the fast growing segment of Nutraceuticals, our global market has become a rather dynamic place. Our session will provide answers to this question by highlighting three of the most relevant topics: natural hydration as the most basic beauty principle, beauty food ingredients that have come full circle and are increasingly popular for use in topical cosmetic applications, and beauty foods taken to the next level to provide increased protection against sun exposure. A 30-minute panel discussion will complete the session by further exploring each topic and entertaining your questions.

SUPER-ACTIVE NATURALS FOR SKIN TRANSFORMATION

Tuesday, September 9 | 3:15pm-5:15pm

The saying "we are what we eat" is very true. Foods that we ingest not only affect the way that we feel, but also the way that our skin looks and feels. The skin reflects the state of the body's health and looks its best when all cells in the skin's layers are properly nourished and hydrated. All you need to do to understand the "buy-in" of our culture about this concept, is to look around at the supermarket shelves and the cosmetics counter. What you will see is multiple companies talking about nutritional benefits to general health and the skin from the foods, drinks or cosmetics we choose to use. Many cosmetics companies are teaming up with food companies to bring internal products to the consumer. These include products such as nutritional supplements or drinks that affect the appearance of the skin and delay the appearance of aging. This session will look at some of the ways companies are using nutritional materials to affect the skin and achieve inner and outer beauty. As a bonus, there is a unique talk on Super-Active Peptides based on bioactive amino acid fragments useful for targeted anti-aging activity!
