“Sugar and spice and everything nice, that’s what little girls are made of.” Or so the adage goes. But guess what? The wrinkles on your face are also the result of sugar.
Surprised? You should be, but it’s not only the white granular sugar or the sugar you get from candy bars and soft drinks. We are also talking about the glucose in your body that is the result of a bowl of pasta, a slice of bread, fruit; even excess protein. But that is not a bad thing; all these foods need to turn into glucose in our bodies to give us energy. Still, through a process called glycation, creating glycotoxins that produce wrinkles on even the most religiously sun-screened skin, sugar ages the skin.
Huh, doesn’t make sense? Let’s examine more closely. “When a sugar molecules binds to a protein it creates advanced glycation end products (AGEs). That bound molecule has a fluorescent property. We now have a diagnostic measure that can tell have much fluorescence there is in the skin and how many of the AGEs have built up. If you look at the skin of a baby using these diagnostic measures, there is no fluorescence, but if you look at an adult, they light up like a Christmas tree, full of these AGE,” explains Dr. Amy Heaton, director of scientific affairs for SanMedica International.
When the protein fibers in your skin link up with AGEs, discoloration occurs and the skin becomes less supple which results in wrinkles and sagginess. Even Dr. Oz concurs, “With the glycosylation of collagen, the collagen in your skin becomes less elastic and stiffer than a happy-hour martini.”
Wouldn’t it be great to have a product that scientifically dealt with one of the main causes of wrinkles, AGEs, and but also help shield your skin from further damage? And wouldn’t be great to be able to keep eating pasta, carbs and the cakes and pies we all love without thinking about how those processed and natural sugars are aging us?
GlyTerra to the rescue!! “In multiple clinical studies we take the AGE readings from these diagnostic tests and apply these tests to your chronological age. I can take these reading and accurately tell your skin’s chronological age, without actually looking at you. With this database of information, we have developed a product, theraglycan-3, that can reduce sagginess, lines and wrinkles by 8 to 10 years in 2 months by helping to eliminate AGEs,” details Dr. Amy Heaton. “Studies show that by using a product that contains theraglycan-3 twice a day, women saw an 8 to 10 year reduction in sagginess, jawline curvature, and wrinkles.”
GlyTerra contains theraglycan-3 and also has all the other anti-aging ingredients you will find in top-line brands. The GlyTerra night cream contains 4% theraglycan-3 and the day cream contains 2% theraglycan-3 cream. “GlyTerra also has a cactus moisturizer that helps keep moisture in the skin, also ingredients for deep wrinkles, lines and sagginess. In a nutshell, you will not need any other ant-aging products. For the first time you will not only see results on your skin but we actually have diagnostic tools that can measure the results” further explains. Dr. Heaton.
SanMedica International, one of the fastest growing research-based cosmeceutical companies in the world, has exclusive rights to this product, under the trademarked name GlyTerra, and has made this product available to consumers at $135 for more one-month supply. This affordable price is a fraction of the cost of high-end, anti-aging product that purport to do the same thing.
A stand-alone, topical product that is affordable, easy to use and you can still devour those delicious cookies and cakes; within moderation. Sounds like a win-win!!
Sugar and spice and everything nice [fewer wrinkles], that’s what little girls [and big girls] are made of!!
GlyTerra is available at Ulta stores and online. For more information, go to glyterra.com.
