In the past, nanotechnology has been relegated to fields like medicine and high tech computer systems where tiny, minute structures have been used in everything from surgeries to micro chips. Well, nanotechnology is no longer just for people who understand algorithms and medication charts. In fact, it has become the new wave of skin care.
Researchers, scientists and physicians are all looking at how the skin can be both protected and healed at a cellular level using nanotechnology. What this means is that the molecules are actually entering the cells and tissues to increase protection and heal damage done by toxins, UV rays and other accelerating aging factors.
It's a very exciting field and is exploding with new products that have implemented the amazing advancements of nanotechnology. The beauty of nanotechnology in skin care is that the molecules in the products are working on healing, moisturizing, nourishing and protecting from the inside - a much more effective position to be in.
Nanotechnology is being used in anti-aging creams, moisturizers, make-up, lip plumpers and even sunscreens. All this through the ability to deliver nano complexes right to the inside of the cells.
Some of the most popular new products are lip plumpers. Why go for a lip augmentation that results in recovery time, pain and comes with a hefty price when you can plump those kissers right in your home on a regular basis? Colorescience Lip Serums are probably the most effective product out there right now coming in a rainbow of colors from deep mauve to a sexy orange the lip serum doesn't just add color to lips, it adds volume and plumpness as well. These lip plumpers employ palmitoyl oligopeptides in their nanotechnology to increase the activity within the cells leaving the lips fuller and more defined.
Ahhh, but that's not all. Colorescience went above and beyond the average lip plumper in their quest for the perfect lip serum. These products restore much needed glycosaminoglycans and collagen - two molecules in the human body that decrease with age. Increasing the levels of these chemicals in the cells of the lips is the key to bringing back those lovable kissers. Colorescience has also added ingredients to reduce lip furrows by up to 30% and has added moisturizing vitamin E to the formula, too. And, as if that weren't enough, the aroma that exudes from these serums as they glide across the lips is that of bergamot, sweet orange and lavender all excellent aromatherapy scents for calming and relaxing the body.
Most women know that the lips aren't the only thing on the face to need a little bit of help as the years go by. The eyes - especially those wrinkles - could do for a good rejuvenation at the same time. Colorescience answered that call through their new eye serum product that also employs nanotechnology. The eye serums transport tiny complexes into the cells around the eyes helping to soften fine lines, smooth wrinkles, enhance contours and lift sagging regions. Colorescience Eye Serums can be considered the new "botox in an eyeshadow" product.
Chockfull of moisturizing vitamin E, soothing aloe vera, and healing chamomile the eye serums don't just work on a molecular level they also look beautiful when applied. Colorescience Eye Serums come in four shades of iridescent color and are used by many women in the treatment of dark circles under the eyes, fine lines, wrinkles and for overall healthier skin care around the eyes.
Finally, for those who use little or no sunscreen because of the oily, greasy, or smelly lotions that are the customary products on the market today, there is new nanotechnology based products that will delight and protect.
Colorescience Sunforgettable is a long lasting powder version of sunscreen. It won't rub off on clothes, it isn't sticky, oily or greasy, it won't burn your eyes, and it's water resistant. Does it sound too good to be true? Well, fortunately, it is true - even the FDA likes the new product and has given
Colorescience Sunforgettable their seal of approval. The Skin Cancer Foundation of America is also extremely happy with the new product and has awarded the Sunforgettable with the Seal of Recommendation.
Sunforgettable SPF 30 by Colorescience can be used on women, men and children and comes in two shades of powder - one clear and one almost clear - and is a breeze to apply.
Nanotechnology, though young in the skin care product field, won't be leaving anytime soon. Its effective method of delivering nutrients, nano complexes, moisturizing agents and healing compounds virtually guarantees its success and effectiveness in skin care products.
