Taking care of your skin can lead to more than just a glowing face;
it can help boost your self esteem, and radiate confidence! Regular care
of your skin, especially facial skincare, can make a difference.
Avon Skincare Institute
The Avon Skincare Institute
is leading skincare research. Skincare scientists are going beyond the
beauty industry to explore genetics, botanical ingredients, and sleep
research. Avon, as a company, has been a leader in skincare research for
decades. (Did you know that it was Avon that brought AHA (Alpha Hydroxy
Acid) to the beauty industry?)
Avon has a global research and development team of over 200 scientists,
working to continue innovative skincare and aging research and bring
breakthrough skin cleansers, treatments and moisturizers to you.
We truly care about women feeling good from the inside out.
Current Industry Research
Just this month, August 2015, Avon scientists have presented
breakthrough anti-aging skincare research at the summer conference of
The American Academy of Dermatology. The research is centered around a
protein called “dynein” (pronounced dye-neen) which has to do with
transporting nutrients and mitochondria within skin cells. Additional
research is focused on autophagy, which is related to how cells remove
damage. Both denein and autophagy decline as we age, leading to lines
and wrinkles. This kind of research is innovative, and will contribute
to the continued development of anti-aging skincare products.

Anew Skincare Specialist
I have worked to become an Anew Skincare Specialist with Avon, and my
training allows me to recommend Anew products to you based on your
skincare needs. There are several Anew lines
of skincare, from Vitale to Reversalist to Platinum to Ultimate that
will each address specific skincare concerns. In addition, Anew Clinical
products have specific targeted solutions! Avon’s latest skincare
product, Anew Power Serum, was inspired by Nobel Prize winning research.
Target all signs of aging and Boost treatments and moisture
Serums are powerhouses for skincare. The secret to serums is that the
moisturizing ingredients, like oils, have been removed, so that the
serum is a concentration of active anti-aging ingredients. Serums
contain smaller molecules which allows them to absorb into the skin more
efficiently. Emollients or moisturizer carriers have larger molecules,
so they function more as a barrier to lock in moisture.
The finer molecules allow the anti-aging ingredients to deliver more potent results. That's what makes serums a powerhouse.
Serums should always be applied to cleansed skin. Serums do not
replace your skincare, they work to enhance what you are currently
using. Because they are concentrated, they do not carry the moisturizing
element that you still need, so continue to moisturize as you normally
would. Plus, that serum will improve the absorption of the moisturizer,
enhancing the anti-aging benefits.
Imagine a serum that can detect where additional skin treatment is
needed, plus a boost that amplifies your current skincare regimen. Anew Power Serum
is lightweight, and designed to be used in conjunction with existing
skincare because it focuses on the visible damage to skin and delivers
anti-aging results. It is a general treatment that helps with smoothing,
coloration, lines & wrinkles and sagging.
I participated in an online Chat with Anew Power Serum Innovator
Pradeep Yadav on August 25th, and he offered some insight into the
chemistry of this incredible formula! He shared that the Anew Power
Serum is concentrated to really target and deliver maximum anti-aging
results. It is definetely meant to be used in conjunction with all other
regimen, including after cleansing, and before any other targeted
treatments, and under moisturizer. It boosts the benefits of the
moisturizer, day and night. Again, this Power Serum boosts your current
regimen, so that makes it suitable for layering. This is definitely a
unique serum!
Skin, like every other part of our body, is alive. It changes because the cells are always changing. The skin has very unique roles for us – a barrier that protects us from the environment, a way for us to receive sensory information and it helps our body regulate temperature.
Skin has three layers… Epidermis, Dermis and Tissue/Fat.
Epidermis
The epidermis has five different layers, which includes dead skin cells, keratin and melanocytes that determine skin color. It is the epidermis that we can control through skin care.
Cleansing removes the oil build up, makeup we wear and other dirt and particles from the environment. Sunscreen protects the epidermis from UV rays, and also helps to prevent skin cancer.
Dermis The dermis holds hair follicles, sweat glands and sebaceous glands. A diet rich in vitamins and drinking plenty of water contribute to a healthy dermis.
Subcutaneous TissueThe subcutaneous tissue layer is where the blood vessels and fatty tissue are.
