Montebello, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/17/2010 -- Vivoderm Laboratories LLC (http://www.vivoderm.com), a natural and scientific skin care company based in Southern California, incorporates green tea in their 100% herbal facial masks and toner to treat inflammation, wrinkles, skin sag and other signs of aging.
The Vivoderm 100% natural Anti-Aging and Anti-Acne Facial Masks are proprietary blends of herbs unlike any other on the market, based on the research of holistic dermatologist, Dr. H. Adhami.
Through years of clinical trials and personal research, Vivoderm developed the herbal facial masks to help reduce wrinkles and blemishes as well as repair damaged skin. Green tea was chosen as a key ingredient when multiple scientific studies came to light, proving the benefits of green tea not only for overall health but also for topical skincare.
Vivoderm Vice President, Dr. Noushin Adhami stated, “Vivoderm was excited to learn of the astonishing benefits of green tea and we wanted to incorporate that into our skincare line of natural, herbal treatments—specifically our facial masks and our facial toner.”
One intriguing study in 2003 was conducted by Dr. Stephen Hsu of the Medical College of Georgia Department of Oral Biology. His findings determined green tea was able to rejuvenate old skin cells at the end of their life cycle. Yet another medical study demonstrated topical green tea formulations can reduce sun damage and protect skin from cancer.
The Vivoderm Anti-Aging and Anti-Acne Facial Masks contain a variety of other herbs in combination with the green tea extract, including lavender and cumin as well as vitamins C, B6 and H. Dr. Adhami says, “Each ingredient has been selected, based on years of research, for its revitalizing and anti oxidant properties. Topical green tea is also very beneficial for sensitive skin types by reducing inflammation and irritation in the skin. Green Tea is one of our ‘star’ ingredients.”
Dr. Hsu stated in his report, “At certain concentrations, EGCG or a mixture of the major green tea polyphenols stimulated aged keratinocytes to generate biological energy and to synthesize DNA, possibly for renewed cell division; meaning, green tea constituents may be useful topically for promoting skin regeneration, wound healing, or treatment of certain epithelial conditions such as aphthous ulcers, psoriasis, rosacea, and actinic keratoses.”
Wrinkles, skin sag and other signs of aging have been shown to benefit from Green tea. The tea’s antioxidant and anti-inflammatory polyphenols slow down signs of premature of aging.
