Dry/Mature Skin

ALOE ROSE TONING MIST

TONE AND BALANCE
Our Aloe Toning Mists are Alcohol-Free and formulated to restore the skin's pH that is interrupted after cleansing.  Most toners simply continue tostrip away moisture and natural lipids that make up the Acid Mantle, the invisible cellophane-like shield that protects our skin from otside intruders.  HGC toner for dry skin hydrates and restores to normalize the skin's surface.  Normalization allows serums and creams to penetrate to subcutaneous layers, humectants to sustain moisture levels, and keeps makeup colors true.

SUPER HYDRATORS
Sodium PCA, a naturallly occuring component of human skin, moisturizes from the inside out.  Hyaluronic Acid which is known as the "water reservoir" holding up to 40,000 times its weight in water is the intercellular "goo" that protects cells.  And last but not least is Glycosaminoglycans found in connective tissue which promote the ability of collagen fibes to retain water and bind moisture throughout the epidermis.  HGC takes these Super Hydrators and combine them with one of nature's perfect mucopolysaccharides, Aloe Vera, another amazing humectant to revitalize and rehydrate dry skin.  Take it to the pool, beach, or even work and rehydrate all day long!! 

• PRIMARY BENEFITS:  To restore Acid Mantle pH to 4.5 to 5.5, re-introduce minerals that have been stripped from the skin, rehydray moisture levels, and provide anti-inflammatory relief.
• PRIMARY INGREDIENTS:  Aloe Vera, Cabbage Rose Water, Sodium PCA, Hyaluronic Acid, Glycosminoglycans, Geranium Extract, Cucumber Extract, Rosa Canina Fruit Extract, Horsechestnut Seed Extract, Ginseng Root Extract, and Grape Seed Extract.
• SKIN TYPES:  Formualted for Dry, Mature, Sensitive, Dehydrated Skin Types
• WHEN TO USE:  Use after every cleansing, exfoliation, or shower.  May also be used to hydrate thrugout the day (even over makeup.)
• FEATURES:  Super Hydrating Factor:  Humectants are molevules that act as water magnets helping hydrate layers of skin.  Hyaluronic Acic (HA) can hold a thousand times its weight in water.  Glycosaminoglycans (GAG's) surround dermal prteins (elastin and collagen fibers) helping to maintain their pliabilit ndelasticity.  Other amazing humectants in this toner are Panthenol, Sodium PCA, and our famous Aloe Vera concentrated base.
• DIRECTIONS:  After cleansing, exfoliating, swimming, or showering simply spray mist 3 times beginning at forehead, then the nose area, and finally to the chin area.  Remember to keep eyes closed while misting.
• INGREDIENTS:  Other nutrients in our Toning Mists include our Mineral Complex of Copper (essential for the formation of collagen), Zinc (required for protein synthesis and collagen formation), Magnesium (avital catalyst in enzyme activity), Iron (oxygenates red blood cells for energy production, and Selenium (enhances skins elasticity.)

AM MOISTURE is now AM Rose Moisture

Dry Skin Ages Faster Than Other Skin Types

Your skin needs a moisturizing cocktail composed of lipids and water. Why? Well, your dermis is about 79% soluble collagen when you are young. By the time you are 30, most have lost 25% of that. Add to that, a lack of moisture, and collagen becomes insoluble, cross-linking together in a taut, rigid formation known as WRINKLES.

THE GOAL of HGC's Dry Skin Formulas is to stimulate collagen formation with our unique 200% Aloe Vera Base (which increases collagen formation up to 8 times) and the fabulous Alpine Rose Stem Cell technology, which improves skin stem cell vitality and boots epidermal regeneration and protection. It keeps dry skin sufficiently hydrated with Lipid (light, oily compound) and Water moisture so that collagen fibers remain plump and elastic, reducing the appearance of wrinkles.

SUPER HYDRATING DUO :  Sodium Hyaluronate (also called Hyaluronic Acid) is known as the "water reservoir" holding up to 40,000 times its weight in water. It is the "goo" that protects cells. As skin ages, the amount of Hyaluronic Acid (HA) decreases from 70% to 30%, so it is imperative to restore it. Glycosaminoglycans (GAG's) found in connective tissue promote the ability of collagen fibers to retain water and bind moisture throughout the epidermis. HA and GAG's are essential to fight the war on aging and are included in HGC's dry skin formulas.

LIPIDS TO THE RESCUE:   Yes, moisture loss causes premature aging, but lack of sufficient lipid (oil) production does too! Skin loses plumpness and flexibility.
HGC has Squalane, a strong antioxidant that penetrates deeply to pump up the volume to diminish fine lines and wrinkles. Essential Fatty Acids, an important component of cell walls that ensure a cell's flexibility, smoothness, and longevity. Evening Primrose Oil improves skin's elasticity and firmness, reduces epidermal moisture, and fights inflammation. Coconut Derived Emulsifiers mimic the skin's own natural lipid barrier to improve moisturization. Rosehip Seed Oil is high in antioxidants, tightens pores, and brightens skin.  It is the only plant oil to contain Retinol, known to be an anti-aging superstar. 

PRIMARY BENEFITS: To maintain a sufficient cellular moisture level so skin's surface is supple and smooth. To also maintain a "natural moisture barrier" to prevent subcutaneous moisture loss.

PRIMARY INGREDIENTS: 200% Aloe Vera Base, Squalane, Glycerine (humectant emulsifier), Coconut Fatty Esters , Essential Fatty Acids (Linoleic and Linolenic), Hyaluronic Acid, Glycosaminoglycans, and Extracts (see features).  

FEATURES: Rhododendrum Ferrugenium Leaf Cell Culture Extract, (Alpine Rose Stem Cell) and Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (Vitamin C) stimulate skin regeneration and reduces age spots and sagging.  Extracts of Rosa Canina and Rosa Centifolia Flower.  Rose power oils of Rosehip, Rosa Centifolia, and Rosa Damascena Flower fighting and repairing free radical damage .

WHEN TO USE: Use every morning after exfoliation with Honey Jojoba Scrub and pH balancing your skin with Aloe Rose Toning Mist.

DIRECTIONS: Place small amounts on forehead, chin, and cheeks and blend into skin using circular strokes from the center of face toward the hairline. NOTE: This AM cream is very concentrated so use sparingly and blend in thoroughly.

INGREDIENTS: Other ingredients include Evening Primrose Oil (concentrated with essential fatty acids and the only source for GLA, gamma-linoleic acid other than mothers milk), Linoleic and Linolenic Acid (essential fatty acids), Tocopherol (Vitamin E prevents cellular destruction), Allantoin (soothing), Panthenol (Vitamin B Family), Titanium Dioxide (natural sunscreen), Xanthum Gum, Lecithin, Cyanocobalamin (B-12 for color), Sodium Hydroxymethhylglycinate (natural preservative).

MOROCCAN LAVA CLAY
This wondrous clay is sourced from the Atlas Mountains in Morocco is rich in minerals like silica, magnesium, potassium and calcium.  These incredible minerals absorb impurities and excess oil from the skin that clog pores and  inhibit cellular turnover and renewal.  They enhance skin elasticity and reduce dryness and notably improves skin texture and tone!

CHARCOAL POWDER
Activated charcoal is made from carbon-rich materials like coconut shells.  It is highly porous, allowing it to attract and bind impurities drawing out toxins, pollutants, and excess sebum from the skin.  This helps unclog pores and reduce the appearance of blackheads and blemishes by a providing deep cleansing that leaves the skin feeling fresh and revitalized.

ZINC OXIDE
Zinc is commonly used in sunscreens but is also great for masking because of it's anti-inflammatory abilities reducing redness and irritation for those with sensitive skin and rosacea.  Zinc is crucial for wound healing and aids in repairing damaged skin, while assisting in oil control by regulating sebum production.  Its antimicrobial abilities promote clearer skin.

SEND IN THE MARINES
Researchers have confirmed that nutrients derived from Sea Algae can pass through the skin barrier where a trans cutaneous penetration of ions take place.  Marine Algae macro-elements help to maintain and restore organ equilibrium, delaying if not reversing the aging process.  Sea plants, ounce for ounce, are higher in Vitamins and Minerals than land plants and the richest source of vegetable protein.  HGC has combined Red and Brown Sea Algae from Hawaii, the British Isles, and the Canary Islands that help detoxify by absorbing impurities and toxins from the skin while also supporting skin elasticity by boosting collagen production.

ALOE VERA
This succulent plant is well known for it's anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, aiding in healing and detoxifying the skin.  It soothes irritated skin and reduces redness. Aloe Vera provides essential moisture and relief from irritation, balancing the drying effects of the clay and charcoal making this a win-win for your skin.

PREMIER MARINE COLLAGEN
Supports Skin, Joint Protection, and a Happy Gut

Type I Collagen – Essential to Tissue Repair

Accounting for 30% of the body’s total body protein, collagen is the most abundant and ubiquitous protein that works to maintain the structure and function of the skin and connective tissues throughout the body. Healthy skin is the body’s primary barrier to prevent dehydration and potential infection while maintaining moisture and body temperature. Skin elasticity and firmness are dependent on collagen peptides. Visible signs of collagen loss are evident in early adulthood, with the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, as well as slight joint discomfort.

Compared to commercial collagen peptide supplements made from bovine or porcine sources, marine collagen has a low molecular weight and delivers the most predominant type of collagen in the body, type I collagen. Type I collagen provides rigidity, elasticity and strength to skin, tendons, ligaments, bones, teeth, and cartilage.
