Instant Teint Love light & dark, a 15ml

COLLODIAL SILVER
Silver has been used as an antimicrobial agent since ancient times. Silver ions have several antimicrobial sites of action on the target cells and, unlike antibiotics, are the- refore associated with a low risk of bacterial resistance. They bind to bacterial cell mem- branes, damage the structure of the cell wall and lead to cell leakage. Silver ions transpor- ted into the cell disrupt the DNA and RNA of the bacteria and thus protein production and cell replication.6
Laboratory tests have shown that silver in- creases the sensitivity of bacteria to anti- biotics and thus has a beneficial effect on wound healing by inhibiting inflammation and promoting neovascularization.7
COLLODIAL SILICA
Silica is extremely moisture absorbent and is known to stengthen the connecting tissue, resulting in firmer skin. Silica can also help bind inflammatory compounds due to its ab- sorbent properties. Because of its very small size, the surface area of colloidal silica is very high and its properties are amplified.
SPF 20
Instant Teint Love has a built-in SPF of 20. Sun protection plays a major role in main- taining healthy skin. It helps protect from sunburn and carcinogenic changes in the skin but it also has other important effects. Extensive exposure to the sun is known to weaken the body’s ability to fend off poten- tially harmful bacteria8, and it is recommend- ed to avoid exposure to UV radiation after any form of treatment of the skin. Fresh scars usually show hypopigmentation, if exposed to UV radiation scars can develop perma- nent hyperpigmentation with additional swelling.9
HAWTHORN
Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna), originally from Europe and known as “the flower of hope”, is rich in flavonoids and traditionally used to treat circulatory problems and can help reduce swelling and puffiness.10
