Beautiful skin: nutraceuticals, cosmetics and mycotherapy

BY DR. FRANCESCA ARDIGÒ
Natural remedies for skin care

Skin conveys a feeling of health and well-being and conveys charm.

The secret is to take care of it with remedies that act both from the outside, with cosmetics that contain Medicinal Mushrooms, and from the inside with Food Supplements based on Medicinal Mushrooms.

The skin is constantly exposed to external agents, but at the same time it is influenced by the health of our body, to which it is closely connected. When our body is in good health, the skin shines, looks luminous and beautiful. When our body is in good health and balance, i.e. blood circulation is working well, the intestine is clean and our emotional conditions are positive, also the skin is clean, relaxed and glowing.

An ancient and wise axiom says that "beauty and health go hand in hand". Skin is beautiful in a healthy body and a healthy body has beautiful skin.

We started from this interpretation to create our skin care range: taking care of the skin, but also of the body's health for skin care and beauty.

Nutraceuticals and Cosmetics: how to take care of face skin in a natural way

We use both Natural Cosmetics for external application and Food Supplements belonging to the category of nutraceuticals, which act from within the body.

The term “Nutraceutical” originated from two words: “nutrition” and “pharmaceutical”, to indicate the field that studies and uses the active ingredients of plants and Medicinal Mushrooms in exerting useful actions for health, both for the prevention and for the treatment of diseases.

Mycotherapy and skin care

Mycotherapy uses Medicinal Mushrooms, considered the most precious jewels of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). These remedies, used successfully in the East for thousands of years, have only recently arrived in the West and have already conquered a large group of people who are passionate and enthusiastic about the beneficial effects of Mycotherapy. In addition to being very popular in health care, they are also a great help for skin beauty.

Our award-winning skin formula uses Medicinal Mushrooms to be taken in tablets (Food Supplements) and cosmetic creams for topical use containing Medicinal Mushrooms.

Medicinal Mushrooms are able to cleanse the skin of toxins, impurities and accumulations of fat, also resolving inflammation caused by external irritation.

Hence, the blood vessels increase blood flow and hydrate the skin more. The skin thus becomes more beautiful. On the one hand it receives more oxygen and more nourishment and on the other it eliminates toxins and impurities more quickly. Furthermore, Medicinal Mushrooms preserve the firmness and beauty of the skin, because they counteract free radicals, the aggressors that attack connective tissue - the supporting structure of the skin, causing wrinkles, voids and sagging.

Medicinal Mushrooms give beauty to the skin and exert numerous beneficial actions, both applied to the skin in the form of cosmetic creams and taken orally as nutraceuticals. The action of the cosmetic that penetrates deeply from the outside of the skin combined with the action of the nutraceutical supplement, which rises to the surface from the deepest layers of the dermis, doubles the benefits for healthy and beautiful skin. This is the secret to making your skin glowing and glamorous.

The benefits of both Medicinal mushroom-based cosmetic creams and Food Supplements are due to the great wealth of active ingredients: antioxidants, terpenoids, beta-glucans, adenosine, enzymes and vitamins, very effective in giving the skin freshness and appeal.

Chaga: the skin-friendly Medicinal Mushroom 

Chaga is a Medicinal Mushroom which is very useful for skin beauty.

It is one of the remedies richest in antioxidants present in nature, in fact it:

  • protects collagen, improving skin tone;
  • has an important anti-inflammatory effect;
  • cleanses the skin and the body from fats.

Known in the East since ancient times as an excellent cosmetic, it has been used both topically and orally as a nutraceutical Food Supplement. Its benefits in protecting, toning and making the skin radiant and beautiful are still recognized today.

The Chaga Medicinal Mushroom gives freshness to the skin, making it healthy and luminous, like a wonderful mountain lake: it cleans the surface, but at the same time purifies the depths too, that is the internal environment of the body, giving us that pristine beauty that fills us with joy as we admire it.

It is very effective in treating skin diseases, such as eczema, inflammatory and allergic dermatitis, and is very powerful in treating psoriasis (Dosychev, 1973; Frost, 2016; Zhong. 2013). Its remarkable antioxidant action thanks to SOD (Super Oxide Dismutase), of which it contains 50 times more than other Medicinal Mushrooms, liberates the body from toxins and free radicals. Thus, it counteracts aging and the onset of many chronic and degenerative diseases (Sun, 2008; Shashkina, 2006; Duru, 2019; Zhong, 2013; Hu, 2009).
