What makes Merlot Moisturizer a natural wonder?

These natural antioxidants work to protect the skin against environmental damage (smog, pollution, harmful UV rays) and stress.

Where do these antioxidants come from? Merlot products use red grape seeds. What’s so special about red grape seeds? Found to be 50 times more powerful than Vitamin E and 25 times more powerful than Vitamin C, red grape seed antioxidants fight against free radicals – the particles that routinely damage our skin.

By providing antioxidant protection, Merlot Moisturizer helps inhibit the appearance of aging, providing a more youthful, healthy look.

In addition to grape seed extract, the Merlot Moisturizer formula utilizes aloe vera to help protect skin from UV damage. Aloe vera works to moisturize and hydrate skin while offering cooling and soothing properties. Hydrated skin is healthy skin!

Merlot Moisturizer has become a go-to product for those with sensitive skin thanks to its fragrance-free and non-irritating formula. Matricaria Flower (also known as chamomilla recutita) helps reduce redness. Its anti-inflammatory properties keep Merlot Moisturizer working gently and effectively.

Build A Healthy You – For The Sake Of Your Skin

In the July/August issue of GCI (Global Cosmetic Industry) Magazine, Katerina Steventon explains that extrinsic aging – exposure to outside elements such as UV rays and smoking – strongly contributes to “deep and coarse wrinkles, mottled hyperpigmentation and reduced skin elasticity.”  Smoking, in particular, reduces skin’s elastic fibers, making facial wrinkles appear deeper.  The long-term harmful effects of smoking are well documented, and in the short-term, the habit is actively damaging your skin as well.

Steventon also points out that 80% of the effects of aging seen on facial skin, is due to sun exposure, over the course of one’s lifetime.  Wearing sunscreen or a lotion with UV protection is the easiest way to fight against harmful UV rays.

Want to ward off wrinkles?  Ditch the cigarettes and don’t forget the SPF!

Steventon also suggests utilizing antioxidants that offer environmental protection.  Merlot’s Anti-Wrinkle Cream, with its elasticity-improving formula, 11 amino acids, and grape seed antioxidants, might just be the way to start.
