Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Editor’s Pick: Take Control of your Skin with Own

The eyes maybe the window to the soul, but your skin is a reflection on your overall health and on how the world may perceive you. Though you may have some great ensembles for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week paired with the right accessories, unhealthy skin can bring down even the most dynamic outfit.

Since 2012, Own has taken an innovative approach to skincare through combining pure formulations, enhanced by clinically-proven technology, with content and a revolutionary diagnostic app designed to measure, track and manage skin health, as well as offer anti-aging solutions at multiple levels.

Own’s foundation is in developing unique, innovative formulas that are effective in improving skin’s overall health, but without the need for harsh or toxic ingredients. Own’s clinically proven anti-aging results are achieved by using ingredients that trigger cell behavior for visible improvement in skin without the irritation, redness or flakiness that is commonly associated with retinol products.

Own products activates the body’s natural ability to simultaneously treat the main causes of aging—loss of firmness, dullness and dryness. Rather than address these concerns at a superficial level, CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) penetrates all three layers of the skin. As a result, Own’s Renewing Line has been clinically proven to boost collagen production, enhance cell turnover and improve skin’s moisture barrier for firmer, more even, softer skin.

Still, Own goes beyond products that you apply to your skin. Own understands that maintaining healthy skin is deeply connected with nutrition and overall wellness. Based on that premise, Own has come up with an innovative app that synchronizes the user’s skin with personalized information that helps them make wiser choices to realize their potential for their best younger, healthier looking skin.

Free to download from Apple’s iTunes store, Google Play, and www.ownproducts.com, My Own App analyzes a photograph of the user and provides a clinical evaluation of the major signs of aging—fine lines, deep lines, eye area wrinkles and hyper-pigmentation—along with nutrition, wellness and beauty recommendations based on individual aging results.

Own products are currently available nationwide at Ulta, select Whole Foods, Amazon and www.ownproducts.com.   Own is also distributed in other major natural independent distributors throughout the country. Products retail between $12.00 and $24.99.
