Skin and BodyMei Capsule

Skin and BodyMei Capsule

When the skin loses its ability to regenerate and appears dull, asphyxial and with an opaque color, one cannot only try to "rejuvenate" it by acting on its surface, but one must consider that it rests on the underlying structures which, in turn, have become weak and saggy. This is why, when the skin loses the ability to regenerate itself and appears dull, asphyxial and with a dull color, one cannot only try to "rejuvenate" it, acting on its surface, but one must think that it rests on the underlying structures which, in turn, have become weak and sagging. This is why the preventive regenerating action must have two values: one for external use (directly on the skin) and one that regenerates, from the inside, the tissues that must give stability and solid base to the skin itself, as well as support nutrition.

The specific literature reminds us that after the age of thirty the characteristics of elasticity and tightness of the tissue that supports the skin (collagen and elastin) begin to diminish, while the first micro-circulatory alterations are noticed (with poor oxygenation and structural failure) and, externally, a dry, thin and inelastic layer of skin appears on the epidermis. The skin needs more time to desquamate (sweep away the carpet of dead cells) and renew, externally, the surface protection. In the same way, internally, the first sagging of the support structure is noticed so that the skin needs long periods to organize the firming and the right interstitial compactness. The connective tissue, which is underneath, is like a spider´s web (since it supports and connects the surface of our body with the deeper layers), which keeps the surface compact and gives shape to the parts of the body. When the connective tissue goes into decline, reaching the loss of elasticity and tone (aging of elastin and partial loss of collagen), the skin creates folds (wrinkles), becoming flaccid.

In front of an "unhealthy" skin there will be an "unhealthy" connective tissue, because connective tissue is the keystone of wellness. So, you can´t just do wellness on the outside, but you have to prevent the deterioration of the structures that provide support and nourishment.

When cell turnover slows down, it must be reactivated with a double action: on the skin (externally) and on the underlying tissues (internally). This twofold preventive direction is fundamental.

Much has been written on how to intervene on the skin, from the "outside", codifying, after studies and research (think of all the Mei-SPA rituals!), the scientific methods of intervention. It has also been studied to help it, in its intimate composition (therefore from "inside"), to be tonic and to maintain the best structural conditions.

A Mei product, for all, represents the best that can be put into circulation to firm the basic tissues of the skin, to prevent stretch marks and to achieve the most marked antioxidant action: the BodyMei Capsule. The ingredients that make up this rich product are: Alfalfa, Rosehip, Milk Thistle, Caraway, Apple, Galega and Verbena.

Alfalfa, also known as Alpha-Alpha or (scientific name) Medicago Sativa, is so called because it is considered native of Persia (Media, in fact), therefore it has always been indicated as the "grass of Media or alfalfa". In herbal medicine it is considered very valuable as a restorative and as a primary source of vitamins and minerals, while for the skin it has nourishing, elasticizing and emollient properties.

The Rosa Canina is a spontaneous shrub, thorny, with very deep roots. It owes its name to the fact that, in Roman times, a soldier was cured of rabies (bitten by a dog) by drinking decoctions of its roots (an episode reported by Pliny the Elder). Rosa Canina (whose fruits, dried and fresh berries, shoots, seeds and petals are processed) has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, for a rich presence of bioflavonoids, organic acids and polyphenols.
