EPS Bioferment antioxidant peeling for natural skin renewal

The skin, as a borderline tissuea, has very high regenerative potential. The cellular and structural renewal processes of the skin continue uninterrupted, whether it is damaged or not. Therefore, the stratum corneum is the main barrier structure of the skin.

 

Exfoliation of the epidermis

The guarantee for the integrity and functional activity of the stratum corneum is its continuous renewal. Normally, the rate of division of basal keratinocytes is equal to the rate of exfoliation of keratinised scales. A complete change in the cellular composition of the epidermis occurs after an average of 28 days. In case of trauma or under the influence of destructive chemicals, the number of cell divisions increases.

 

How does exfoliation with peeling work?

A chemical peel procedure involves the application of a chemical agent to the skin to cause controlled damage to the skin. There are two ways of affecting the skin’s ability to renew itself:

1. Renewal process: physiologically, promoting the skin’s natural renewal and processes, without causing any damage.
2. Application to the skin of a cosmetic preparation with a peeling function that damages the skin’s structure to stimulate its repair process.

Why systematic exfoliation is so important

Systematic exfoliation of keratinised cells is a prerequisite for the normal functioning of the stratum corneum. The complete change in the composition of the stratum corneum occurs on average within 3-4 days and is ensured by the work of proteolytic enzymes (proteases). If the protease activity of the stratum corneum changes in one direction or the other – problems arise. For example, in skin with hyperkeratosis (excessive keratinisation of the epidermis), protease activity is reduced. Because of this, corneocytes cannot leave the skin in time and the stratum corneum becomes thicker and thicker. Consequently, problems such as photo-ageing, seborrhoea, dryness and others also persist. The protease activity of the stratum corneum also decreases with age (Choi E.H. et al., 2007).

 

Antioxidant EPS Bioferment Peeling

Chantarelle experts have developed EPS Bioferment Peeling Antioxidant to modulate the activity of the skin’s own proteolytic enzymes. The biostimulating, multifunctional EPS Bioferment peel is designed for normal skin, but also for dry, sensitive and reactive skin with disrupted barrier properties. It supports the skin with comprehensive correction and prevents photo-ageing. The gentle scrub was developed on the basis of the ingredient Natural Marine EPS Bio-Ferment. These are natural organic polysaccharides of marine origin, extracted from microorganisms living in the Polynesian seas, which stimulate exfoliation more strongly than retinoic acid. Natural Marine EPS Bio-Ferment improves the texture of the skin, smoothing it out causing an even skin tone. Proteolytic enzymes such as calicreins are involved in skin exfoliation. This process is essential for the exfoliation of old cells from the skin’s surface and consequently for the continuous regeneration process of the skin. Natural Marine EPS Bio-Ferment helps to optimise the keratinisation structure of the skin. Polysaccharides are rich in sugars such as glucuronic acid (16%), uronic acids (12%), sulphates (0.5%) and phosphates (2%). Their action increases the expression of involucrin and filaggrin, which are markers of cell differentiation, thus accelerating the return to healthy skin following a breach in the skin barrier. They also stimulate transglutaminases found in the outer layers of the epidermis, promoting the skin’s protective functions. All of this improves the skin’s ability to self-regenerate and keeps it smooth and uniform for a long time.

 

Moisturising red algae

Extract of the red curly alga (Chondrus Crispus) has a moisturising effect, which is also very important for regulating the physiological renewal of the skin. This ingredient reduces transepidermal water loss and forms a polysaccharide film on the skin surface. The minerals in the formulation, especially calcium and magnesium, strengthen and stimulate keratinisation and increase the skin’s resistance to environmental factors such as detergents, UV radiation, irritants and pollutants.

 

Banquet treatments and long-term dermocures

The EPS Bioferment Peeling Antioxidant is the ideal preparation for an express ‘banquet treatment’. After treatment, the skin immediately becomes smoother, has a beautiful glow and looks fresh. Peeling can also be performed as part of a longer dermotherapy for physiological skin rejuvenation. Such dermotherapy usually includes 5-8 treatments. The frequency of treatment depends on the condition of the skin. The interval between dermotherapies is 3 months. It is advisable to repeat treatments for beautifully smooth and uniform skin.
