Human life expectancy continues to be on the rise and although we can’t change our chronological age (that is the number of years we have been alive), to a certain extend we do have control over our biological aging (that is how old your body looks and feels). Let me explain:

There have probably been thousands of books written on healthy eating and exercising our body regularly, or meditating and de-stressing our minds, and surely these are all important things to keep ourselves younger for as long as possible. However, one of the most visible signs of aging is the condition of our skin! I have seen people in their 50-tis that hardly have any wrinkles at all and their skin looks bright, firm and glowing, reducing their biological age by a significant number of years, allowing them to receive many compliments and admiring looks. If you ask these people what their secret is, they will tell you things like….

• never went to sleep with make-up still on
• always made sure I clean and re-hydrate my skin every day
• always used a quality moisturiser without too much chemicals
• limited sun exposure and
• had sufficient quality sleep most nights

If we take into account that our skin is our largest organ that protects us, helps us to regulate the body temperature and allows us the sensations of touch, heat, and cold, it will make much sense to make any effort to provide anything it needs to stay healthy and in full function throughout our entire live.

This brings us to a new nz skincare substance called 'Hyaluronic acid' that is naturally occurring in our body with the largest amounts found in our skin, connective tissue, muscles, joints and eyes. Its main function is to retain water deep down to keep our tissue well lubricated and moist (remember…we spoke about re-hydrating skin). As we age, our skin cannot retain as much water as it used to and we lose some natural fullness and plumpness our skin used to have.

This is often the time when many women will reach for cosmetic injectables such as Botulinum toxin or Hyaluronic acid injections.  Any cosmetic procedures where injections are involved should only be carried out by registered professionals with experience in human facial anatomy, as our face has important nerves that, when damaged, can sometimes not be restored to full function and the damage might be irreversible.

Although injectables have instant results,  they do last only between 3-6 months until the Hyaluronic acid or the Botox is broken down by the body again and more fillers are required. Many times once women have started with injectables, they usually need to keep them up regularly and longterm to maintain the look of the skin. There is a much easier, safer, simpler, and way more cost-effective method available now of providing that wanted Hyaluronic hydration, and that is topical application -applying a few drops directly to your face every morning and night after cleaning your skin!

I have seen myself and clients have confirmed in 5-Star Google reviews that results from the Hyaluronic + Vitamin C Serum of the Purely Essential Anti Aging product range, are fantastic and not much far behind the results of cosmetic injectables, showing results within 10 days to 2 weeks! And all this comes without the common side-effects of bruising, pain, swelling ect. And the best of all is, the Hyaluronic + Vitamin C Serum  can be applied constantly as part of your skin care regime together with the Anti-Aging Face Serum that is used afterwards to finish it off,  as the moisturiser that locks the hydration into the skin, leaving your skin extremely smooth and nourished.  These two rejuvenation products are well loved by our Purely Essential clients as a kind of daily nutrient shot your skin wants! Both products are locally handcrafted, from organic ingredients and are very potent, requiring only a few drops each time, making them last many times between 5-7 weeks.

Once again, why would you choose cosmetic injectables, when you can buy those results in a bottle? With these two handmade, organic Anti-Aging products you can now ensure your skin gets all the hydration, moisture and nutrients it needs, so it doesn’t age any faster and stays younger for longer...
