Dermatologist Calls Tap Water Harmful, Says It Leads to Aging; Creates Skincare Remedy
Posted on: Tuesday, 21 February 2006, 06:00 CST
NEW YORK, Feb. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr. Dennis Gross, celebrity dermatologist, says tap water contains heavy metals which breakdown collagen and lead to wrinkles. Heavy metals such as iron, copper, magnesium, lead and zinc are free radicals.
These elements build up on the skin's surface and cause dermatologic problems such as those Gross first noticed in his practice when clientele consisting of magazine editors, socialites and designers returned from the fashion shows in Milan with terrible skin. To combat these problems, MD Skincare(R) introduces Hydra-Pure Intense Moisture Cream, available at http://www.mdskincare.com/.
"Heavy metals on the skin can lead to skin conditions such as acne, rosacea, irritation, inflammation and aging," say Dr. Dennis Gross, author of Your Future Face (Viking 2005). He concluded there are great variations in the content of heavy metals, calcium, and sulfates from one city to the next.
Hydra-Pure(TM) Intense Moisture Cream, available at http://www.mdskincare.com/, is the first product in the skincare market today that contains chelators. Chelators are an organic complex that engulf and sequester the heavy metals on the surface of the skin.
"While the water is clearly drinkable, if you are unlucky enough to be exposed to bad water on a regular basis your skin can suffer the same kind of damage, although to a lesser degree, as sitting in the sun with suboptimal protection," says Dr. Gross, associate clinical professor at New York University Medical Center.
Chelators, found in MD Skincare(R)'s Hydra-Pure Cream, still allow the absorption of bound metals which are beneficial to the healthy functioning of the skin. Their primary function is to prevent the harmful unbound metals, free radicals, from causing damage, to keep skin healthy and to increase the efficacy of other skincare products used in a daily regime. Dr. Gross predicts the introduction of chelators into skincare products could be as important as sunscreen.
MD Skincare(R)'s Hydra-Pure Intense Moisture Cream was voted the 2005 Breakthrough Product of the Year by Women's Wear Daily Beauty Biz and is available at Bergdorf Goodman, Nordstrom and Sephora or online at http://www.mdskincare.com/.

Posted by maria mills on 03/01/2009, 21:50 I use a face cream that has powerful antioxidants from real blue berries. . .its from this organic and chemical free company called Made from Earth. It’s the “Three Berry Serum”. . .It has actual berries in it which are mixed with the lotion and applied to your face. Plus, I have sensitive skin and don’t put any chemicals in my body, and this one of the few face creams I have found that is 100% chemical free . . Seriously - toxic synthetic chemicals in your lotions are not necessary. Human skin is porous which means that substances we put on our skin are absorbed directly into our bloodstream. This means these chemicals may end up in your liver or other organs. |
