28 MarSKIN CARE 101 : NOT JUST YOUR AVERAGE SOY BEAN

edamame1

If your like me, suntan lotion was not always the first thing that came to mind when it came to a day at the beach. In fact, I would avoid it like the plague. My goal was to get as brown as humanely possible. I grew up in the era of the ” Bain de Sole ” tan.. bain de sole  for the saint tropez tan.. ..geez I can still hear the jingle dancing around a part of my right brain somewhere. Granted, as I got older and spent many a glorious summer roasting on the beaches of Greece, I did have the common sense to avoid the midday rays, but still when it came time to pay the piper I was left with a little crepieness and a few very unpleasant and stubborn little sunspots on my cheeks ( age spots ? moi ? no flippin way ! ).

I did the hydraquinone thang and was left with somewhat lighter spots but also a bleached bit of skin surrounding it..thoroughly unattractive I assure you…did some laser, and it worked well but somebody failed to tell me I would lose pigment in those spots FOREVER and they would turn white in the sun.. tried various other potions which nearly skinned me alive..so when I heard about a new compound from Japan that’s hatched from a soybean my vain little ears were pricked up to the hilt.

My I present to you..Gamma PGA Poly Glutamic Acid

Gamma PGA is a remarkably potent hydrating compound that represents a major breakthrough in the science of skincare. It is ten times more hydrating than Hyaluronic acid and far more elastic than collagen. In Asia, Gamma PGA is commonly recognized for its specific skin care benefits. It is 100% natural, bio degradable and non-toxic. In fact, it is even edible.

Originally discovered in marine jellyfish, Gamma PGA, also known as Natto Gum, Plant/Phyto Collagen or Gamma Poly Glutamic Acid, is derived from NATTO, a Japanese soybean-based health food item dating back more than 1000 years.
Gamma PGA has many features and benefits:

Diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
Facilitates skin exfoliation of old keratin
Promotes the clearance of stagnant melanin to brighten skin
Enhances the skin’s natural moisturizing capabilities
Penetrates to the skin’s deepest layers
Carries moisture and nutrients as it penetrates
Forms a thin, smooth and moisturizing film on the skin
Increases production of the Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF)
Locks in moisture, giving you softer, more supple skin
100% natural, preservative and additive free
Hypoallergenic, animal free, cruelty free
