Chellá Health and Beauty Tips: ANTIOXIDANTS ~ Face Friendly Foods
At Chellá, we have formulated some of the most scientifically advanced anti-aging cremas using vitamins, peptides, botanicals and antioxidants. Antioxidants are nutrients found in botanicals that help create a barrier against free radical damage resulting in the deterioration process of oxidation. Oxidation reactions can produce free radicals, which start chain reactions that damage skin cells.
While we firmly believe that using antioxidants such as pomegranate, Vitamins A, E and C, green tea and grape seed extract is of utmost importance in our formulations, there is extensive evidence that what you put in your face is as important as what you put on your face.
Your kitchen should be your companion to your medicine cabinet when it comes to fighting the signs of aging skin and eating a healthy diet rich in antioxidants will help your skin look better and stay more healthy. Leafy green vegetables such as spinach and kale have extraordinary healing properties for your skin. Berries, such as blueberries, are a fabulous source of antioxidants. Tomatoes, which contain lycopene, will improve collagen production in the skin and help fight aging signs caused by the sun. Adding walnuts or almonds to broccoli doubles the antioxidant dose and will help improve the flavor if you’re not particularly fond of broccoli. And while whole grains and omega 3 fatty acids in salmon have been famous for their healthy benefits on the heart, studies show that they also act as anti-inflammatories which have a calming effect on irritated and dry skin.

Understanding Beautiful Skin: ELASTIN
We all get them…those fine lines and outright wrinkles that seem to show up almost overnight. But how did they sneak up on us like that? In this second in a series of articles on understanding your skin and ways to keep it beautiful, I am going to explain the effect elastin has on creating fine lines and wrinkles and how to reverse that process.
Elastin is a protein found in connective tissue that allows tissues in the skin to resume their shape after stretching or contracting. It is primarily composed of the amino acids glycine, valine, alanine, and proline. Elastin is the component in skin which most affects the structure of wrinkles and fine lines in our skin. Working in partnership with collagen, elastin allows the skin to stretch and relax. Thus, while collagen provides rigidity, elastin allows the skin to stretch and then revert to its original position. Without elastin, after your smile fades, your skin would continue to remain eerily like the Joker’s in the Batman comic. Think of it as the “elastic” in our skin, just as the name might imply.
Damage to elastin has extremely dramatic effects on the skin. Amazingly, the body does not produce elastin after the age of 12 or 13. Our skin tissues lose their elasticity, never to be replaced. Elastin can be damaged by various factors- smoking, stress, hormones to name a few. Loss of elastin is considered a sign of aging. Over time, the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) light also damages the elastin in the skin. The breakdown of these fibers causes the skin to lose its ability to snap back after stretching. As a result, wrinkles form. Elastin must be externally stimulated to be replenished in the skin tissues.
At Chellá, we have created a formulation of clinically proven peptides which stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, thereby reducing the fine lines and wrinkles associated with the loss of these two critical components of our skin. Peptides are soluble and small enough to penetrate into the skin’s tissue and were proven clinically to regenerate and replenish the elastin level in our skin, and thus make it look much younger. All Chellá Cremas as well as Chellá’s Skin Firming Serum and Face and Body Lotion contain the scientific breakthrough we call the Chell-x Complex.
