Annemarie Borlind ~ System Absolute

Keep Mature Skin Looking Young.

Borlind's System Absolute was the first skin care system to combine liposomes and nanoparticles in a formula based on nature. System Absolute products, with active agents from the purest soy lecithin, transport both oil-soluble and water-soluble substances naturally into the deepest layers of the skin, keeping you younger looking than your years.

System Absolute Products:

Cleanser

Silky soft and especially creamy, the System Absolute Cleanser thoroughly cleanses the skin and pores, even removing makeup, without upsetting the delicate pH balance of the acid mantle.. It prepares the skin beautifully for subsequent application of skin care products and treatments.

Beauty Fluid

Protects the skin cells which form collagen and elastin against attack from free radicals by means of superphycodismutase, a rare substance found in some types of sea algae. Annemarie Borlind was the first to use this ingredient in natural cosmetics. Other ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid (perhaps the most effective natural moisture-binding ingredient in use today) and Sodium PCA (a natural moisture-retention factor in the skin), are blended to give the Beauty Fluid a luxuriously rich consistency and make it an extremely effective moisturizing toner. The pipette applicator allows economical, direct application.

Night Cream

During the night, the skin regenerates itself by dividing its basal cells in the germinal layer. During this division process, the cells are very sensitive to attacks from free radicals. Modern scientific data supports the theory that the regeneration of the skin takes place only at night because fewer free radicals are present. For this the cells need, among other things, vitamin A and pantothenic acid, which the Night Cream has in abundance.

Day Cream

A special day cream for mature skin which has a tendency to form wrinkles. The main purpose of a day cream is to protect the skin against negative environmental factors. Today, the main negative influences are attack by free radicals and the strong tendency of the skin to dry out, due to factors like heat and air-conditioning.

Liposomes and nanoparticles in the Day Cream provide the skin with precious natural active substances that penetrate into the deeper layers of the epidermis. The liposomes contain panthenol and natural moisture retention factors. Squalane, macadamia nut, jojoba, and sesame oils are included in the formula. The nanoparticles carry tocopherol acetate (vitamin E) and carrot oil with beta carotene (which enhances the effect of vitamin E) to fight free radicals. Aloe Vera extract helps to moisturize and retain moisture from the air. The Day Cream also contains UV protection to prevent free radicals from even casual exposure to the sun.

Firming Fluid for the Eye Area

A highly effective product that increases the skin's moisturizing content, improves the elasticity, and reduces the depth of wrinkles. The eye area becomes softer, smoother, more resistant and better protected. The Firming Fluid is a naturally preserved oil-in-water emulsion with a pH value of 6.4. The result is visibly firmer connective tissue and a well-cared-for eye area. Firming Fluid for the Eye Area should be applied with a circular motion. Take a drop of firming fluid about the size of a small pearl and spread over the fingertips of both hands. Massage into the skin gently by: 1) placing the index, middle and ring fingers at the bridge of the nose and stroking across the forehead in the direction of the temples; and 2) then, with the middle finger only, massaging very smoothly and lightly towards the bridge of the nose, under the eyes and lightly over the eyes. The especially smooth cream is easy to apply and is rapidly absorbed without leaving a greasy film.

"Anti-Stress'' Mask"

Masks the Face of Stress

Stress comes in many forms, especially during winter. First there is seasonal stress. The days are shorter, frequently causing depression. Unlike other animals, who hibernate, many of us work counter to the rhythms of the seasons. We try to accomplish the same amount in the winter as we do in the summer months.

Winter also brings holiday stress. Sometimes it is joyous emotional stress (spending time with loved ones, sharing gifts, enjoying festive holiday decorations and songs), sometimes it is negative tension (too many social obligations, gifts to buy, holiday pageants, too much food to prepare). Some years it can take months to fully recover.

Stress is reflected in the face

This stress not only affects our cardiovascular and immune systems, it is also reflected in the face. We spend more time indoors during winter, exposed to trapped environmental pollutants, in the dryness of artificially-controlled temperatures, often burning fires for romance, light and extra heat. This stress can become evident on your skin.

What happens to uncared-for skin?

If skin is not protected and cared for in the winter many of the following can happen over time:

-Skin becomes blotchy.

-Flushed, red spots appear, surrounded by a pale yellowish or grayish palor.

-Dark circles and bags begin to appear under the eyes.

-Breakouts occur.

-Lines deepen, rapidly developing into wrinkles.

-Skin loses tone and sags.

-Dry, scaly patches appear.

-Skin diseases such as psoriasis, herpes, or eczema flare up.

We are all victims of stress at one time or another.

The question is - how do we prevent the telltale signs from showing?

We have all heard the obvious solutions - exercise, meditation, deep breathing, more sleep,

watching the diet and supplementing when necessary, etc.

But one of the reasons we have stress is we did not have time for these things in the first place.

What can we do to Mask the Faces of Stress?

What can we do to prevent the damage stress can wreak on our faces?

There is a wonderful new product on the market from Annemarie Borlind - ''Anti-Stress'' Mask.

The Anti-Stress Mask is an ideal relaxer and energizer which contains:

Botanical moisturizing and moisture-binding ingredients such as carrageenan

(from seaweed) and hyaluronic acid.

Hypericum extract (St. John's wort) that stimulates, soothes and helps conteract inflammation.

Ginkgo and menthyl lactate that refresh, stabilize the skin and counteract free radical damage.

Calendula and bisabolol to soothe

Tissue-firming protein obtained from carrots (extensin) which helps strengthen the skin.

Anti-Stress Mask quickly and gently invigorates and revitalizes, leaving skin feeling soft and smooth, looking taut and firm, reducing the appearance of fine lines caused by stress and weariness. It also refines the texture of the skin, giving a fresh, glowing complexion.

Anti-Stress Mask is easy to use. Simply apply generously to cleansed skin. Allow to work 5-10 minutes, then remove and rinse thoroughly with warm water. If you've just rushed in after a hard day and need to look your best for the evening ... If you've had a bad night's sleep and need to look refreshed the next morning ... Annemarie Borlind Anti-Stress Mask will work the ''perk-up'' miracle you seek.
