SKIN - THE INTRODUCTION The SKIN is the outer covering of the body. It is the largest organ of the integumentary system made up of multiple layers of ectodermal tissue, and guards the underlying muscles, bones, ligaments and internal organs. The skin is the largest organ in the human body. For the average adult human, the skin has a surface area of between 1.5-2.0 square meters (16.1-21.5 sq ft.), most of it is between 2–3 mm (0.10 inch) thick. The average square inch (6.5 cm²) of skin holds 650 sweat glands, 20 blood vessels, 60,000 melanocytes, and more than a thousand nerve endings. Skin performs the following functions: 1 Protection: an anatomical barrier from pathogens and damage between the internal and external environment in bodily defense; Langerhans cells in the skin are part of the adaptive immune system 2 Sensations: contains a variety of nerve endings that react to heat and cold, touch, pressure, vibration, and tissue injury 3 Heat regulation: the skin contains a blood supply far greater than its requirements which allows precise control of energy loss by radiation, convection and conduction. Dilated blood vessels increase perfusion and heatloss, while constricted vessels greatly reduce cutaneous blood flow and conserve heat. 4 Control of evaporation: the skin provides a relatively dry and semi-impermeable barrier to fluid loss. Loss of this function contributes to the massive fluid loss in burns 5 Aesthetics and communication: others see our skin and can assess our mood, physical state and attractiveness. 6 Storage and synthesis: acts as a storage center for lipids and water, as well as a means of synthesis of vitamin D by action of UV on certain parts of the skin. 7 Excretion: sweat contains urea, however its concentration is 1/130th that of urine, hence excretion by sweating is at most a secondary function to temperature regulation. 8 Absorption: In addition, medicine can be administered through the skin, by ointments or by means of adhesive patch, such as the nicotine patch or iontophoresis. The skin is an important site of transport in many other organisms. 9 Water resistance: The skin acts as a water resistant barrier so essential nutrients aren't washed out of the body. Skin is • • •

composed of three primary layers: the epidermis, which provides waterproofing and serves as a barrier to infection; the dermis, which serves as a location for the appendages of skin; and the hypodermis (subcutaneous adipose layer).

EPIDERMIS, "epi" coming from the Greek meaning "over" or "upon", is the outermost layer of the skin. It forms the waterproof, protective wrap over the body's surface and is made up of stratified squamous epithelium with an underlying basal lamina. The epidermis contains no blood vessels, and cells in the deepest layers are nourished by diffusion from blood capillaries extending to the upper layers of the dermis. The main type of cells which make up the epidermis are Merkel cells, keratinocytes with melanocytes and Langerhans cells The epidermis can be further subdivided into the following strata (beginning with the outermost layer): corneum,

lucidum (only in palms of hands and bottoms of feet), granulosum, spinosum, basale. Cells are formed through mitosis at the basale layer. The daughter cells move up the strata changing shape and composition as they die due to isolation from their blood source. The cytoplasm is released and the protein keratin is inserted. They eventually reach the corneum and slough off (desquamation). This process is called keratinization and takes place within about 27 days. This keratinized layer of skin is responsible for keeping water in the body and keeping other harmful chemicals and pathogens out, making skin a natural barrier to infection. DERMIS The dermis is the layer of skin beneath the epidermis that consists of connective tissue and cushions the body from stress and strain. The dermis is tightly connected to the epidermis by a basement membrane. It also harbors many Mechanoreceptor/ nerve endings that provide the sense of touch and heat. It contains the hair follicles, sweat glands, sebaceous glands, apocrine glands, lymphatic vessels and blood vessels. The blood vessels in the dermis provide nourishment and waste removal from its own cells as well as from the Stratum basale of the epidermis. The dermis is structurally divided into two areas: a superficial area adjacent to the epidermis, called the papillary region, and a deep thicker area known as the reticular region. HYPODERMIS The hypodermis is not part of the skin, and lies below the dermis. Its purpose is to attach the skin to underlying bone and muscles as well as supplying it with blood vessels and nerves. It consists of loose connective tissue and elastin. The main cell types are fibroblasts, macrophages and adipocytes (the hypodermis contains 50% of body fat). Fat serves as padding and insulation for the body.

PROBLEMS & TREATMENTS FACE & BODY

CLEANSING

It is immense to have a great skin, and is the first step headed for an overall wellbeing. Skin therefore plays a vital role in our life, how one looks and feels directly relates to ones skin. The type of skin you have depends on your genes, sex, age, environment, structure and regeneration. How you treat your skin will always be evident in your face, hands and body. It's never too early or too late to begin looking after your skin to glow everlastingly. Skin cleansing is very much essential, because pollution, grease and grime cling to the skin, clogging pores, while the body eliminates toxins through perspiration. If the cleansing process is not thoroughly undertaken, the skin will look and feel sluggish, tired and minor skin problems and irritations will transpire Skin care by natural products really suits any kind of skin and it is recommended to habituate using natural skin care products on everyday basis. The purpose of a cleanser, or soap, is to surround, loosen, and make it easy to remove dirt, debris, germs, excess oils, and left-over products applied to the skin. Unfortunately, there are harmful effects of cleansers on the skin. Many people have dry skin because of their cleansing routines, not because their skin is normally dry. Often people think that their skin isn't clean unless it feels dry and tight after they wash it. The cleansing product should be soothing, calming. Cleanse throughoutly without irritating it, respecting natural pH balance and hydro- lipidic film that protects our skin.

1.1 FACE- PREPARATION

Used products: Cleansing Bio-milk Delicate Bio-Scrub Balancing Bio-Tonic Hyperthermal water FAZE 1 • Clean the face well with circular slow massaging movements using Cleansing Bio- milk, studied specifically to clean gently without irritating the surface of the skin. The product is of biological nature and is well supported by skin. Has soothing, softening and moisturizing effects even on the most sensitive skin. FAZE 2 • Apply to face neck and decolte a thin and uniform layer of BIO-SCRUB using a soft brush. The formula contains, besides elements of biological nature and hyperthermal water, ingridients that remove impurities and dead cells from surface layers of the skin. Exfoliating action typical for the product are particularly delicate that makes the product suitable for all skin types. • Massage lightly with circular movements paying more attention to parts in higher need of exfoliation. Wash off with lukewarm water. FAZE 3 • Apply BALANCING BIO- TONIC rich in firming and pH balancing active principals. . FAZE 4 • Spray on HYPERTHERMAL WATER to re-mineralize, calm, re- vitalize and render skin more receptive to various active principals present in the products used in following treatments.

HYPERSENSITIVE SKIN

Many people have reaction to potential irritants, such as harsh detergents, alcohol, acidic skin care products, makeup removers and the like. This does not necessarily mean their skin is truly sensitive. Reactions to known potential irritants are considered to be within the range of normal. True skin sensitivity (i.e. hypersensitivity) is relatively uncommon. Hypersensitive skin would often react not only to potential irritants, but also to generally nonirritating substances as well as heat, cold, wind and so forth. If you think you have hypersensitive skin, see a dermatologist to rule out skin condition with similarities to genuine hypersensitivity (e.g. rosacea or eczema). It is delicate, thin, transparent, and as all delicate things should be treated with special care. Sensitive skin routines usually include the following recommendations: • Use products that contain as few preservatives, fragrances, colorings and other redundant ingredients as possible. • Avoid toners that contain alcohol and/or other irritants. • Avoid (or at least be very careful with) acidic and other potentially irritating skin care, such as alpha hydroxy products or retinoids. • After cleansing apply hypoallergenic, noncomedogenic moisturizer. Do it while skin is still damp to help seal the moisture. • Sensitivity is more frequent i females, even more emotionally sensitive females with fragile blood vessels The best products for hypersensitive skin contain: anti- inflammatory (escine) and soothing agents (glicirretic acid and bisabolol) and vitamines A.

1.2 FACE- CALMING SOOTHING TREATMENT

Used products: Intensive calming soothing bio-serum Hyperthermal mud Calming soothing bio- cream Polyfunctional bio- mask FAZE 1 • Start with a lymph drainage for face and neck to get rid of excessive fluids and decongest the skin. • Apply INTENSIVE CALMING SOOTHING BIO- SERUM that thanks to it’s active principals in high concentration rapidly soothes the skin, balancing and protecting it. Massage lightly until completely absorbed. FAZE 2 • To stimulate the blood flow massage with light tapping or fan movements. Place the HYPRTHERMAL MUD into a ceramic bowl and apply a uniform layer to face, neck and decolte using a soft brush.  HYPERTHERMAL MUD FOR THE FACE is a clay cataplasm suspended in hyperthermal water. Mineral ions and trace- elements make it perfect for revitalizing treatments where it acts as a thermal enhancer for various types of treatments. It is easily absorbed by deep skin layers transporting firstly hyperthermal water and it's ingredients and therefore “dragging along” active principals of serum used under the mask. Clay has a purifying

property and absorbs toxins. • Wait for 2- 3 minutes until the fluids are slightly evaporated and active principals are concentrated close to the skin and place on top a mask soaked in hyperthermal water. Leave on for ca 15 minutes. • Remove with wet sponges or towels.  ALTERNATIVE for very sensitive skin: Apply the mud using as a base (directly on the skin) an occlusive mask of gauze, that way the skin will be more protected. FAZE 3 • In case of dilated blood vessels proceed with digital pressure on contracted parts. • Proceed with a draining massage using CALMING BIO- CREAM. Calming Bio- Cream is a very specific product with active principals of the new generation, that help protect and reconstruct and make skin less sensitive. FAZE 4 • Complete the treatments with POLYFUNCTIONAL BIO- MASK Innovative concept of the mask studied for professional use. Based on natural components rich regenerating, calming, moisturizing elements that stimulate cellular renew and fight against aggressive free radicals.Leave on for 15 minutes.  Can be used with different INTENSIVE BIO-SERUMS to obtain a specific effect. • Remove the residue.

FAZE 5 • Gently apply INTENSIVE BIO- SERUM “PERFECT EYES” • Spray on HYPERTHERMAL WATER

DEHYDRATION Surface dehydration is a crippling enemy of the skin affecting up to 98% of the populations in varying degrees, and is associated with problems as diverse as scaly, taut skin, superficial lines and premature aging. Given the singular importance of dehydration, it is necessary to understand the function of the skin in order to treat it properly. How the skin is moiturized, how water is lost from the horny layer, and ways to prevent water loss. Interstitial (between cells) fluid reaches all body tissues through the blood, and makes up approximately 70 % of the body. It penetrates capillaries and circulates within and among cells, carrying with it nutrients and water vital to cellular function. It then acts as a waste collector for the cells and eventually becomes lymph, flowing back through the lymph vessels with the accumulated wastes. Without this proper exchange of nutrients, water and wastes, cells cease to function and eventually die. Although sufficient water intake is critical in maintaining metabolism, it will not by itself correct existing surface dehydration. The main water reservoir of the skin is located in the two lower layers, the dermis and hypodermis, and is regulated by the antidiuretic hormone (APH) secreted by the pituitary gland. The epidermis, the location most vulnerable to fluid deprivation, cannot compensate by drawing moisture from below, as interstitial circulation ceases where epidermal cells become keratinized. The epidermis can receive moisture indirectly only by the production and upward movement of new cells (containing adequate amounts of fluid) from below, or topical moisturizing of the horny layer. The purpose of sebum, a hydrophilic fat, is to mix with water from the atmosphere and secretions from the sudoriferous glands and form the hydro-lipid film, which ensures cohesion and flexibility of the horny layer. The constituents of this film, and its slightly acid pH, create an ideal surface ecology that is vital for skin health and beauty. The horny layer provides the clue to surface dehydration. Since one of the major functions of the skin is to provide a barrier against moisture infiltration, and because hydrophobic fats in the horny layer constitute this barrier, wetting the epidermis does not allow moisture into the skin. The horny layer, then, prevents transfer in both directions. Surface dehydration can occur for several reasons: A) Poor cleansing: Any cleanser leaving the skin "squeaky clean" or even taut is dehydrating. Soap is harsh because it is alkaline, stripping the hydro-lipid film from the surface of the epidermis and leaving the horny layer exposed, unprotected and subject to moisture loss. Other alkaline washes, such as foaming cleansers and alcohol solutions used for oily and problem skin, are even worse since they produce closed comedones (clogging) which ultimately become blackheads and possible pustules. B) Skin damage: This may result from using harsh acne treatments like hydrogen peroxide, retinoic acid, benzoyl peroxide, hexachlorophene, etc. These substances alter the keratinization process and weaken the ability of the cells in the horny layer to bond together. A similar process results from continual sun exposure, and in addition dermal tissues which affect the transfer of moisture to the epidermis break down and do not function properly. In both instances the damaged skin takes on a withered look, and affected persons need assistance at the level of the horny layer. C) Neglect: This covers a wide area, from failure to drink sufficient amounts of fluid, to applying

protective creams on a regular basis, to deliberately hampering the body's ability to function normally. Cigarette smoking, for example, is directly associated with wrinkle formation by constricting blood flow in the capillaries, which reduces the flow of moisture and nutrition to the cells. D) Medication and illness: Certain illnesses may cause internal dehydration and ultimately affect the epidermis. Diuretics and many cold and flu remedies that dry up mucous have their side-effects on the skin's surface. The use of cortisone also induces dehydration and may produce permanent effects since it acts in the dermal layer. E) Inadequate moisturizers: Light textured and milky moisturizers that "disappear" into the skin offer little or no protection. The water soon evaporates and does not penetrate the horny layer due to the presence of hydrophobic fats and the "Electro-Physical Barrier of Rein". The superficial wetting only impregnates squamous cells, and the constant evaporation of water can itself cause severe dehydration and fissures to form in the horny layer. F) Scrubs: The regular use of scrubs can break down cell cohesion in certain skin types, which reduces the capacity to retain moisture and places capillaries at risk. G) Astringents: Alcohol based tonics wiped on skin remove sebum and act like strong cleansers. Use toners only on dry, sallow skin that does not show couperose tendencies, and pat them on following application of a day protective or lipid cleanser. H) Air conditioning and climate: Moisture evaporates quickly within the dry atmosphere of air conditioned and/or overheated rooms, and adequate protection must be taken. Similar precautions are necessary in very hot or cold climates. I) Hot showers: The friction and heat of hot water remove sebum from the skin's surface, inviting capillary damage and dehydration. Always wash the face separately using lukewarm water only. J) Diet: An excessive intake of table salt (sodium chloride) can have a dehydrating effect. It transfers water from the interior of the cell to the interstitial fluid, creating water retention and bloating at the same time. Coffee, in addition to other negative effects, can also contribute to dehydration.

ALIPIDIC, MATURE OR TIRED SKIN Alipidic skin has a low level of sebum and can be prone to sensitivity. The skin prived of it's fatty agents has a parched look caused by its inability to retain moisture. It usually feels "tight" and uncomfortable after washing unless some type of moisturizer or skin cream is applied. Chapping and cracking are signs of extremely dry, dehydrated skin. Alipidic skin loses it's elasticity, which can helped by hyaluronic acid and glycerin of vegetable origin. Right nutrition of the skin is extremely important, agents such as cholesterole and fatty unsaturated acids are the ideal components in products for alipidic skin. Dryness is exacerbated by wind, extremes of temperature and air-conditioning, all of which cause the skin to flake, chap and feel tight. This type of skin is tightly drawn over bones. It looks dull, especially on the cheeks and around the eyes. There may be tiny expression lines on these spots and at the comers of the mouth. CAUSES • The oil glands do not supply enough lubrication to the skin. As a result, the skin becomes dehydrated. • Skin gets exposed to the elements especially in winter. • Alipidic skin could be due to a genetic condition. • Poor diet. Nutritional deficiencies, especially deficiencies of vitamin A and the B vitamins, can also contribute to dry skin. • Environmental factors such as exposure to sun, wind, cold, chemicals, or cosmetics, or excessive bathing with harsh soaps. • Conditions such as dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, or seborrhea.

AGING SKIN Your skin changes as you age. You might notice wrinkles, age spots and dryness. Your skin also becomes thinner and loses fat, making it less plump and smooth. It might take longer to heal, too. With aging, the outer skin layer (epidermis) thins even though the number of cell layers remains unchanged. The number of pigment-containing cells (melanocytes) decreases, but the remaining melanocytes increase in size. Aging skin thus appears thinner, more pale, and translucent. Large pigmented spots (age- spots, liver spots, or lentigos) may appear in sun-exposed areas. Changes in the connective tissue reduce the skin's strength and elasticity. This is known as elastosis and is especially pronounced in sun-exposed areas (solar elastosis). Elastosis produces the leathery, weather-beaten appearance common to farmers, sailors, and others who spend a large amount of time outdoors. The blood vessels of the dermis become more fragile, which in turn leads to bruising, bleeding under the skin,, cherry angiomas, and similar conditions. Sebaceous glands produce less oil as you age. Men experience a minimal decrease, usually after the age of 80. Women gradually produce less oil beginning after menopause. This can make it harder to keep the skin moist, resulting in dryness and itchiness. A number of extrinsic, or external, factors often act together with the normal aging process to prematurely age our skin. Most premature aging is caused by sun exposure. You can protect yourself by staying out of the sun when it is strongest, using sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher, wearing protective clothing, and avoiding sunlamps and tanning beds. Other external factors that prematurely age our skin are repetitive facial expressions, gravity, sleeping positions, and smoking. The wrinkling increases with the amount of cigarettes and number of years a person has smoked.

HYPOELASTIC SKIN Your skin can act as a mirror for the way you treat your body. If you treat your body well, provide it with plenty of the nutrients it needs, and give it lots of rest and relaxation, your inner health will glow through your skin and make you appear younger. If you overtax your body, making it deal with lots of stress, introduce it to lots of chemicals and badly nourish it, this will also reflect through your skin. And we all know, this won’t be in a good way. There are a few different things you can do to encourage your skin to keep its elasticity. A lot of these are connected with your overall body health. For instance, exercising regularly promotes blood flow and oxygenation, which is great for a whole lot of areas of your body, but also your skin. Eating healthy food keeps your internal organs functioning well, and in turn keeps your skin looking healthy. There are also things you should do specifically for your skin. Exposure to the sun accelerates the ageing process. Don’t avoid the sun completely, but don’t be a sun seeker either. Keep your skin well moisturized, both through using a good moisturizer and through drinking lots of fresh water to stay hydrated. Avoid putting your body under stress, both emotionally and chemically through things like smoking. You can do other things, as well. Some foods, such as soy proteins, artichoke hearts, strawberries and blackberries are thought to improve skin elasticity due to the vitamins and antioxidants they contain. Keeping your muscles active can be great for your skin, as your muscle system supports the skin. Lack of musculature causes the skin to sag. This doesn’t mean you have to become a body builder, but regular exercise that keeps you trim will keep your skin trim too. The “relaxing” of the skin is a fenomenon that can strike at all ages. The main causes are •a natural slowing down of cellular activity •rapid weight loss or frequent shifts in weight, • loss of muscular mass, • not efficient physical activity All of this goes to disturb skins metabolism that slows down with visible results: skins is less toned, less compact, starts to “relax” and even form folds. On the derma level the elastic fibers are always more random that cuts on the thickness of the skin, cellular turnover slows down. A specific massage, using a product studied for the problem, is of an extreme importance. Together with the right diet, excersise this can give visible ad lasting results in increasing the elasticity of the skin in little time.

1.7 BODY- FIRMING TREATMENT

Used products: Firming and toning bio- serum Hyperthermal mud Toning bio- cream Hyperthermal water FAZE 1 • Apply Toning and firming bio- serum onto the previously cleansed and prepared skin. Use the stimulating massage to let the serum be easily absorbed by the skin. Stimulates deeply skins functions and helps in the firming and toning of the tissue. FAZE 2 • Use non- metalic bowl for hyperthermal mud.. • Apply with a brush an even layer of the mud- mask, specifically onto the areas where skin and body have lost their tone. One of the most interesting effects of the mud is that fluids, hyperthermal water with it's trace- elements is “dragged” into the depth of the skin, pushing in the substance, the serum, that was on the skin before. As a secondary action it absorbs toxins and excess water. • Wait for 5 minutes until the surface has lost some of its water and the major concentration of active principles are close to the skin. Cover the client with a paper sheet and leave on for 20 minutes. • Rinse off with water. FAZE 3 • Continue with a simulating massage using Toning bio- cream. It's rich and smooth texture helps the massage and active principles stimulate deeply skins natural functions and helps to firm and tone the skin. FAZE 4 • Spray on Hyperthermal water to re- mineralize the skin. Rich in trace- elements it is perfect to finish the procedure, protecting the skin and giving it vital elements.

CELLULITE Cellulite is a term used to describe the dimpled appearance of skin caused by fat deposits that are just below the surface of the skin. It generally appears on skin in the abdomen, lower limbs, and pelvic region, and it usually occurs after puberty. Cellulite is also known as adiposis edematosa, dermopanniculosis deformans, status protrusus cutis, and gynoid lipodystrophy in the medical field and as orange peel syndrome, cottage cheese skin, hail damage, and the mattress phenomenon in colloquial language. There appears to be a hormonal component to its presentation. It is rarely seen in males, but is more common in males with androgen-deficient states such as Klinefelter's syndrome, hypogonadism, postcastration states and in those patients receiving oestrogen therapy for prostate cancer. The cellulite becomes more severe as the androgen deficiency worsens in these males. Cellulite is often classified using three grades: Grade 1 classification sees no clinical symptoms, but a microscopic examination of cells from the area detects underlying anatomical changes. Grade 2 cellulite requires the skin to show pallor (pastiness), be lower temperature, and have decreased elasticity in addition to anatomical changes noted by microscopic examinations. Grade 3 cellulite has visible roughness of the skin (like an orange peel) along with all grade 2 signs. The causes of cellulite are not well understood, but there are several theories that have been put forth as explanations. Among these are: • Hormonal factors - hormones likely play an important role in cellulite development. Many believe estrogen, insulin, noradrenaline, thyroid hormones, and prolactin are part of the cellulite production process. • Genetics - certain genes are required for cellulite development. Genes may predispose an individual to particular characteristics associated with cellulite, such as gender, race, slow metabolism, distribution of fat just underneath the skin, and circulatory insufficiency. • Diet - people who eat too much fat,carbohydrates, or salt and too little fiber are likely to have greater amounts of cellulite. • Lifestyle factors - cellulite may be more prevalent in smokers, those who do not exercise, and those who sit or stand in one position for long periods of time. • Clothing - underwear with tight elastic across the buttocks (limiting blood flow) may contribute to the formation of cellulite. Therapeutic methods that are physical include pneumatic massages, toning massages and massages that stimulate lymphatic flow. These types of massages help to increase blood flow, reactivate cellular metabolism and oxygenation. That however should be done only by an expert, because strong types of pneumatic massages can cause damage. To complete the effect of the massage using the creams and products containing active agents that reactivate cellular metabolism and help to drain some of the “still” fats associated with cellulite.

1.8 BODY- TREATMENT AGAINST EFFECTS OF CELLULITE

Used products: Draining reducing bio-serum Hyperthermal mud Shaping bio- cream Hyperthermal water FAZE 1 • Apply Draining reducing bio-serum onto the previously cleansed and prepared skin. Pay more attention to the areas of body that show unaesthetic effects of cellulite. Use the lymf drainage techniques during the massage, which will maximise the effect of the active principles remodelling the skins surface and will permit the serum to be easily absorbed by the skin. • Use non- metalic bowl for hyperthermal mud. • Apply with a brush an even layer of the mud- mask, specifically onto the areas where skin and body have lost their tone. One of the most interresting effects of the mud is that fluids, hyperthermal water with it's trace- elements is “dragged” into the deapth of the skin, pushing in the substance, the serum, that was on the skin before. As a sendary action it avsorbs toxins and excess water. • Wait for 5 minutes until the surface has lost some of its water and the major concentration of active principles are close to the skin. Cover the client with a papersheet and leave on for 20 minutes. • Rinse off with water. FAZE 3 • Apply Shaping bio- cream using massage tequniques that favour draining and shaping of the body.

FAZE 4 • Spray on Hyperthermal water to re- mineralize the skin. Rich in trace- elements it is perfect to finish the procedure, protecting the skin and giving it vital elements.

STRETCH MARK Stretch mark is an alteration of the skins surface, that represent itself as a small lesion in the form of a linear a few cm long scar. The color of the scar changes in time from violet- red just after formation to silvery or pearly white with the passing of months. Can manifest themselves in both genders and at any age, but are more common in women, mostly between 15 and 30, in puberty or during pregnancy. One of the most common reasons is a non sufficient elastic property of the skin. Sudden increase of weight attribute to the phenomenon, rapid stretching of the skin causes stretching of capillary and leads to eventual torn fibers of collagen and distress in the tissue. The augmentation of glucocorticoid hormones, that inhibits the activity of fibroblasts, produces damage on the level of collagen and elasten and manifests itself on the surface as a stretch mark. It is still not clear if there are also genetic reasons. Conditions that “help” the appearance of stretch marks are: growth, pregnancy, rapid weight gain, sport (augmentation of muscular mass). The formation of a stretch mark is divided into three fazes. 1. The first faze, that is called the “inflammatory faze” is generally asymptomatic but can be accompanied by itchiness and “burning” sensation to the skin. Fibroblasts, essential components of derma, stop the activity, which brings about important changes in the structure of the skin, elasten and collagen fibers become damaged. 2. In the intermediate, “regeneration faze”, appear the violet- red lines. The activity of fibroblasts staring to grow, but the fibers of collagen remain detached, at times broken, elastic fibers are reduces and torn. 3. The final is the “healing faze”. The lines becomes silvery- or pearly white: the activity of fibroblasts is renewed, new collagen and elasten fibers are formed. The tissue is regenerated leaving visible scars.

The most important, is to avoid scarring in the first place. That means taking care and avoiding rapid changes in weight. Right hydration of the skin, the right diet, sports and massage of the interested zones reduce the risk of getting stretch marks. The ancient doctors order to drink 1,5 l of water a day is also very important to hydration.

1.9 BODY - STRETCH MARK REDUCING TREATMENT Used products: Bio- mimetic Scrub Anti- Age Bio- Fluid for Body Anti- Stretch Mark Bio- Cream Hyperthermal Mud Hyperthermal Water FAZE 1 • Initiate the treatment with de-contracting light massage to relax the client. • Apply Bio-Mimetic Scrub onto the skin and leave to react for 7-8 minutes. The scrub will be almost completely absorbed. • Applying light pressure massage the skin with a humid towel, the dead skin cells will be removed without irritating the skin. • Dry the skin and them spray on Hyperthermal water. Wait until completely absorbed. FAZE 2 • Apply Anti- Age Bio- Fluid for Body. Skin with stretch marks has suffered a stress and is in need of extra moisture and nutrition. We advise, no matter what the age of the client it, to use the antiage fluid for body. Rich in actives and vitamins, as well as extracts and oils, this fluid will soften, tone and five elasticity to the skin. • Massage until completely absorbed. FAZE 3 • Use non- metal bowl for Hyperthermal mud. • Apply with a brush an even layer of the mud- mask, specifically onto the areas where skin and body have lost their tone. One of the most interesting effects is that fluids, the serum and Hyperthermal water with it's trace- elements, are “dragged” into the depth of the skin, pushing in all the active elements. • As a secondary action it absorbs toxins and excess water. • Wait for 5 minutes until the surface has lost some of its water and the major concentration of active principles are close to the skin. Close the client with a paper sheet and leave on for 20 minutes. • Rinse off with water. FAZE 3 Proceed with a stimulating massage using the Anti Stretch Mark Bio- Cream. Use lymphatic drainage techniques combined with invigorating toning and regenerating massage. This will help the full absorption of the product that is rich in elements active in treatments against the effects of stretch marks. The toning part of the massage has to be strong enough for you to see the skin become reddish. This means that the circulation is renewed, the skin is detoxified and starts “breathing”. FAZE 4 Spray on Hyperthermal water to re- mineralize the skin. Rich in trace- elements it is perfect to finish the procedure, protecting the skin and giving it vital elements.

INTENSIVE MOISTURIZING BIO- SERUM Information Cosmetic category ( cfr. attachment I, Law n° 713 of 11 October 1986 and further modifications ): leave-on

Characteristics of the product Concentrate rich in moisturising active principles. Formulated to offer a big regenerating effect balancing out skins natural moisture level. Active principles and effects

Effects described below refer to technical and bibliographic knowledge relative to anyone. LACTIC ACID: Natural acid substance present in the factor of skins natural hydration (NMF). Acts as the skins pH normaliser, helping to keep the hydro-acid-lipidic protective layer in best conditions. HYALURONIC ACID (SODIUM HYALURONATE) of medium molecular weight: of strong moisturizing characteristics with anti wrinkle properties. HYPERTHERMAL WATER OF ABANO TERME: Defined as the salty-bromo-iodic-hyperthermal water. In cosmetic field the importance of this water is connected to it’s components, that include: Essential elements that make up the specific oligo- mineral crenum (source), Bioactive and stimulating substances that have positive effects on skins metabolism. During it’s 50 year long journey 3000 meters under the surface of the earth, the water aponense heats up to 200°C and is enriched by mineral inorganic macro and microelements: Sodium, magnesium, potassium, calcium, lithium, brome (macro-elements), zinc, iodine, selenium, manganese, rame, cobalt, nickel (microelements). And that makes hyperthermal water of Abano Terme a true “active complex”. And we should add that oligo-elements (trace- elements) are not produced on cellular level, so their presence in our body depends only on external intake (diet or absorbtion through skin). Numerous oligo- elements (trace- elements) found in hyper-thermal water of Abano Terme, for the quantity and quality, are stimulating and protecting towards the skin. They also give an important boost to enzymatic activities, particularly SOD (superoxide dismutase) and the glutathione of peroxide of anti- radical action. This proves to be important in cases of premature aging, dehydration, hyper- activity, protection against UV rays, pollution, cigarette smoke o fuse of alcohol. SCLEROGLUCAN: Belongs to the family of beta- glucans. Polisaccharide of natural derivation that is derived from yeast without the use of solvents and chemical substances. It is a polysaccharide of the triple helix (very complex). This molecular characteristics gives it’s elastic properties to the skin (an

effect similar to collagen and hyaluronic acid). Principal functions are: re- hydration of dry skin, reduction of wrinkles and anti- inflammatory effect similar to aloe vera. CYCLODEXTRIN: Propyl-hydroxy-beta-cyclodextrin solution with an admirable “film layer effect”. Applied to the skin acts as persistent and powerful lifting agent thanks to it’s “ironing powers”. Product derived naturally with biotechnological methods, enzymatic degradation of amid by CGT, specific enzyme that is used to derive cyclodextrine, oligosaccharide with seven monomers of glucopyranose. Molecular conformation encapsulates active principles of “graduate release” optimising bioavailability. ALTERNATIVE CONCERVING AGENT (LONICERA CAPRIFOLIUM FLOWER EXTRACT, LONICERA JAPONICA FLOWER EXTRACT): Mixture of plants of high bacteriostatic capacity. ACETYL HEXAPEPTIDE-8: One of the signs of aging are wrinkles. Molecular mechanisms behind this are directly linked to structural changes of skins components such as collagen, elastin, and lipidic matrix of the skin. It is possible to modify the system that is responsible for the contractions of expression muscles working directly with neuro- transmitting. The acetyl hexapeptide-8 reduces the expression wrinkles, specially in the area of the front and around the eyes. CERATONIA SILIQUA GUM: Alternative to hyaluronic acid and collagen. Has moisturizing and softening properties that form an elastic protective layer on the skin.In watery and viscose solutions presents with high molecular weight. Highly purified derived from the seeds of carruba, perfect for moisturizing, protective and regenerating treatments.

PRODUCT INFORMATION 2.5 THE EXCLUSIVES

HYPERTHERMAL WATER OF ABANO TERME Information Cosmetic category ( attachment I, Law n° 713 of 11th October 1986 and following modifications ): leave-on

Characteristics of the product Rich in natural trace- elements of bio- stimulating and anti- radical action to protect and reactivate skins natural defence. For it’s characterizing that make it unique in the range of mineral waters, the hyper-thermal water of Abano Terme is defined as “salty- brome- iodinated”. It finds use in cosmetic treatments as a thermal base thanks to it’s hydro- balancing, soothing, smoothing and bio- stimulating properties.. Active principals and effects

Actions of various actives refer to the technological knowledge relative to anyone Cellular bio- stimulation of hyperthermal water is connected primly to the trace- elements present in the compound of the water. Trace- elements that are essential for the structural integrity and functions of the skin. The effects that these elements have on the skin on the metabolic level are most of all documented for zinc, manganese, selenium, silica and copper. Essentially these are functions that affect regulation and stimulation of processes that take to synthesis and stabilisation of elasten, collagen and keratin as well as antioxidant and anti- free radical effects. Zinc is fundamental for the synthesis of elasten and collagen acting on the level of the dermaepidermic tone and processes of scarring. Also evident are it’s antioxidant functions, through modulation of SOD (superossidodismutasi) and therefore restricting the lipidic peroxidation. Manganese regulates the activity of the enzymes necessary for the synthesis of elasten and collagen and participates in the dinamics of scarring processes. On the mitochondrial level it modulates the activity of SOD protecting against free radicals that are generated during cellular breathing. Selenium acts are chimico- physical stabiliser of cheratin and plays a fundamental role in protection against free radicals induced by radiation by UV rays, defending the cell from DNA mutations and lipidic oxidation responsabile for the degradation of the cells membrane. Copper acts on a lisil- oxid level helping the formation of necessary bonds for the polymerisation of collagen and elasten; this effect is the basis for the carrying structure and solidity of the skin. This trace- element plays an important part also in the protection against solar radiation. Silica is an essential part of all supportive tissues and is has a part in the regulayion of cellular modification and scarring processes. Biologically active parts of hyperthermal water work as “enhancers”, that can give more synergy and power to the actions of active elements in cosmetic activity while the trace- elements are fundamentally accelerators (catalists) of cellular reactions thanks to the augmentation of activity of the enzymes, particularly SOD (superossido dismutasi) and the glutation peroxidase of anti- radical action.

During it’s 50 year long journey 3000 meters under the surface of the earth, the water aponense heats up to 200°C and is enriched by mineral inorganic macro and microelements: Sodium, magnesium, potassium, calcium, lithium, brome (macro-elements), zinc, iodine, selenium, manganese, rame, cobalt, nickel (microelements). And that makes hyperthermal water of Abano Terme a true “active complex”. And we should add that oligo-elements (trace- elements) are not produced on cellular level, so their presence in our body depends only on external intake (diet or absorbtion through skin). Numerous oligo- elements (trace- elements) found in hyper-thermal water of Abano Terme, for the quantity and quality, are stimulating and protecting towards the skin. They also give an important boost to enzymatic activities, particularly SOD (superoxide dismutase) and the glutathione of peroxide of anti- radical action. This proves to be important in cases of premature aging, dehydration, hyper- activity, protection against UV rays, pollution, cigarette smoke o fuse of alcohol. CYCLODEXTRIN: Propyl-hydroxy-beta-cyclodextrin solution with an admirable “film layer effect”. Applied to the skin acts as persistent and powerful lifting agent thanks to it’s “ironing powers”. Product derived naturally with biotechnological methods, enzymatic degradation of amid by CGT, specific enzyme that is used to derive cyclodextrine, oligosaccharide with seven monomers of glucopyranose. Molecular conformation encapsulates active principles of “graduate release” optimising bioavailability.

PHOSPHOLIPIDS of soy: Their particular structure helps the absorption of active principles. Phospholipids act as couriers in the trafficking of active principals towards the cells membrane, ensuring their presence at the spot where the active principle are most needed. Of protective properties, helps hydration. ALTERNATIVE CONCERVING SYSTEM (Vitain C, vitamin E, Phytic Acid): Mixture of plants and elements of high bacteriostatic capacity. D- PANTHENOL : pro vitamin B5, acts an important moisturising agent, stimulates the polyferation of the cells and helps the regenerating process.

ACTIVE FORM OF ISOFLAVONOIDS: have extra- genetic actions inside tissues and therefore can be used for antiage treatments GENISTEIN: iso- flavonoidic aglicone. Strengthens connective tissues and “compacts” skin, stimulating the synthesis of collagene and elastene, forbidding the degradation of the tissue. And the tendency of the adipose tissue to expand is reduced, therefore slowing down the formation of new stretch marks. A secondary but positive effect is the slimming and toning since genistein prevents the formation of the adipose tissue. PRUNUS AMYGDALUS DULCIS OIL: Is obtained from sweet almonds (cold). It is recommended by the medicine for irritable delicate skins for it’s molient, nutritive, calming and soothing properties.
