| FOREVER YOUNG® DAY/NIGHT RENEWAL COMPLEX is step three
in the FOREVER YOUNG Skin Care System-following normal use of the
EMOLLIENT FACIAL CLEANSER and the CONTOURING FACIAL SERUM.
The antioxidants, vitamins and immune stimulants have been combined in such a way as to allow a continuous balanced protection and restoration in facial skin day and night. The key physiological process with which FOREVER YOUNG DAY/NIGHT RENEWAL COMPLEX (antiaging lip balm lip mask) is synchronized is the daily biological clock known as circadian rhythms. Precise timing of the release of essential repairing ingredients and a constant supply of protective antioxidants to the skin allows the natural repair mechanisms, already in the skin, to function to their maximum potential and restore the skin to its youthful, radiant state. To repair itself, the skin needs special nutrients, such as amino acids, fatty acids and certain vitamins and minerals. During repair, increased metabolic rate in some skin cells generate free radicals. Antioxidants are needed both internally and topically to control damage. The natural ingredients in DAY/NIGHT RENEWAL COMPLEX (antiaging lip balm lip mask) are supportive of collagen and elastin protection and production. These include unique cell nutrients, emollients, moisturizers and antioxidants. Also included are oat derived Polysaccharides, which assist the immune system to maintain healthy skin, a special form of Vitamin A (Retinyl Palmitate), Vitamin E as a natural antioxidant and the powerful collagen builder and antioxidant/protector, Oligomeric ProanthoCyanidins (OPC).* |

The Tea Tree (melaleuca alternifolia) is a member of the Myrtaceae family and is an indigenous species to Northern New South Wales, Australia. The oil is found within the cells of the leaves, and as the Tea Tree is extremely fast-growing it is constantly renewable, ensuring that no trees are harmed or destroyed.
Tea Tree Oil was used by aborigine tribes for thousands of years, crushing the leaves into mudpacks. Folklore told of a magical lagoon, in which the local tribe bathed for various heath benefits. In fact, it was a pond into which tea tree leaves had fallen, creating a natural spa.
Famous British explorer Captain Cook is held as the man responsible for the name "Tea Tree." In 1770 when he and his men landed at Botany Bay, Cook brewed the leaves of the tree for him men to drink to support their health.
In 1920, Dr. R.A. Penefold, a government chemist in Sydney, Australia, was credited for beginning the human clinical research and documentation of the many benefits associated with Tea Tree Oil. His results were far beyond expectation; however, additional studies are needed for it to be widely accepted and used in the medical community. Tea Tree Oil became so valued by the Australian government that during World War II, efforts were made to ensure a sufficient supply for the Australian and British soldiers.
Nowadays you will find that virtually every Australian household has a bottle of tea tree oil on its bathroom shelf. Additionally, many Australians believe in the benefits of the oil as a natural cleaner in the household environment.

A scientist who developed a wrinkle cream has high hopes that a prime ingredient - elastin - could be used to regrow the skin on fingers and toes and to heal battlefield wounds.
Burt Ensley has been tinkering in the biological world of microbes since his graduate school days at the University of Texas in Austin in the late 1970s.
There, the microbiologist worked on bacteria that ate mothballs, research that has led to its use in contaminated sites. He went on to discover bacteria that could make a dye called indigo, used in blue jeans.
In the 1980s, he landed his first research job at Amgen, the California biotech company that was just getting off the ground. He was working on wound-healing.
For more than a decade he's been on his own, collaborating with several biotech companies to turn his ideas into products that can save damaged skin. He's identified genes that make elastin. He's also found people who heal quickly and with fewer scars and has identified genes involved in this process
He targeted proteins that are responsible for elastin, a compound not unlike chicken wire that holds skin together but has a stretchy quality to it.
The human body makes most of its elastin by the time of adolescence, and Ensley discovered there are at least 20, maybe even 100, different forms of elastin that the body makes.
