  • What do Avocado, Pumpkin, Papaya & Green Tea in skincare products do for our skin?

    Avocado Benefits:
    The use of avocado has been well documented over thousands of years.  The oldest evidence of avocado use dates to around 10,000 BC so it has been around a LONG time.  Avocados provide nearly 20 essential nutrients, including Vitamin E, B and folic acid.  Besides all of the internal benefits, avocados have received a well-earned reputation for keeping skin looking young, beautiful and moist. Centuries after their first discovery, avocados are making a cosmetic comeback to fight aging, dry & acne prone skin. 

    Avocados reduce the appearance of age spots, help reduce signs of skin aging and heal dry skin and eczema.  Avocados have large amounts of sterolins, a protein proven to reduce the appearance of age spots, scars and sun damage.

    Pumpkin Benefits

    Pumpkin is made up of alpha hydroxyl acids similar to glycolic acid and lactic acid which slough dead skin cells, increase cell turnover and keep the skin glowing.  Pumpkin also has the added benefit of containing beta-carotene, a vitamin A-derivative that decreases wrinkles, helps slough brown spots and reverse UV damage.  Zinc is also plentiful in pumpkin which is natures best healing agent for acne preventing and skin healing abilities.
    Papaya Benefits

    The extract from Papaya has shown significant antibacterial properties.  It also makes an effective, nonabrasive exfoliant.  An enzyme in the fruit, papain, helps to remove impurities and slough away dead skin cells.  Regular use of the ingredient will fade acne spots, scars and sun damage.

    Put these 3 ingredients into ONE Mask and you get our Derma MD Pumpkin Papaya Professional Mask (120ml & 240ml) & for your clients home use our Derma MD Avocado Pumpkin Mask (60ml)

    This mask is recommended for normal to dry skin however, it works well on all skin types.  Exfoliation properties of the pumpkin, combined with papaya work synergistically to remove dead skin cells and get rid of dark spots & damage.  All while the Avocado helps to keep the skin moist. 

    Green Tea Benefits

    Green Tea is rich in antioxidants and has anti-inflammatory properties to slow the aging process, maintain the vitality of the skin and improve its natural tone and glow.  It also has antibacterial agents that detoxify the skin and eliminate acne causing bacteria.  Green Tea also reduces the inflammation in the pores, which is associated with acne.

    Derma MD Green Tea Hydrating Toner is MUCH more than a toner.  With Peppermint, Green Tea extract & Niacinamide it will increase moisture retention, protect from free radicals, reduce inflammation and soften the skin.  An amazing product to use throughout your facial treatments or as home care – mist on several times a day as needed.
