Topical Preparations with Antioxidant Capabilities
Currently, tremendous interest and research is being focused on antioxidants and their value in helping to reverse and prevent free radical damage. By definition, free radicals are highly unstable oxygen molecules with unpaired electrons that must seek other molecules with stable electrons to achieve their own stabilization. Attaching to the stable electron of other molecules accomplishes stability, but as a result the "good" molecule is then transformed by the free radical into another free radical whose function and shape is now altered.

Free radicals work quickly. In mere seconds, one radical can trigger a chain reaction that produces thousands of additional free radicals. The damage caused by the free radicals can range from cell damage or ultimately, cell death. Such cellular breakdown manifests itself superficially in lines, wrinkles, dry skin, loss of elasticity, and skin discoloration. On a deeper level, free radical destruction can substantially destroy the collagen and elastin support system, degrade DNA, damage vital enzymes, impair critical immune functions, and cause general tissue deterioration.

Certain substances termed as "antioxidants" can interrupt or even prevent this cellular onslaught. Another term for antioxidants is "free radical scavengers" because of their ability to provide electrons to which the free radical can attach itself. The antioxidant electron can thus be rendered harmless before it can attach itself to a so called "healthy" radical and begin the destructive chain reaction.

Physicians and scientific researchers now recognize the tremendous preventative and anti-aging potential of topically applied preparations that contain antioxidant capabilities. Jan Marini Skin Research has developed the antioxidant product group be incorporating substances that have proven remarkable benefits to aid in preventing one of the primary sources of cellular damage and aging.

Antioxidant Daily Face Protectant
SPF 30, Waterproof
Enhanced Sun Protection with Skin Recovery Benefits
Jan Marini Skin Research Antioxidant Daily Face Protectant SPF 30 Waterproof combines a revolutionary microscopic sponge encapsulation system, state of the art sun protection, a powerful antioxidant component, and a superb hydrating complex.
Antioxidant Daily Face Protectant incorporates a a stable sunscreen system that provides broad spectrum protection to 400 nanometers. In addition, a remarkable skin recovery and antioxidant technology to further protect the skin from environmental exposure is included . The result is a formulation that ensures continuous coverage for daily or extended exposure conditions with a broad spectrum SPF 30 rating that is also waterproof for times when perspiration or water sports may be a factor.
Unlike traditional sunscreen, Daily Face Protectant never feels heavy or greasy, but instead gives a lasting oil-free matte finish that leaves facial skin with a soft silky conditioned effect as it aids in increasing and sustaining moisture content. This is due to microscopic sponge technology. Microscopic sponges are polymer spheres with huge numbers of interconnecting spaces that can entrap and absorb unwanted materials such as excess oils. Their virtually unlimited capacity enables the elimination of undesirable shine, as well as continuous monitoring for all-day control.
Daily Face Protectant may be used with any other topical therapies or moisturizers.

Skin Silk Protecting Hydrator
With Cellular Membrane Engineering
Velvety Soft Finish for Any Skin Type
Jan Marini Skin Research Skin Silk Protecting Hydrator combines outstanding antioxidant benefits with an additional new technology called "Cellular Membrane Engineering." One of the ways in which free radicals cause damage is by disrupting cellular processes. Cells have flexible protective membranes that not only act as a filter, but also absorb critical fluids which enable the cells to assist in the manufacture of collagen and elastin, among other essential activities.
Medical research has proven that damaged cell membranes actually become stiff and "clogged" with hardened plugs of fat, much in the same way that cholesterol plugs our arteries.
Skin Silk Hydrator is scientifically formulated with a series of phospholipids that are identical to the lipid membranes protecting the cells. These extracts may actually help to restore the cells' flexibility and create the optimum balance of maximum cell efficiency.
Second, Skin Silk minimizes free radical activity by adding a unique lipoamino acid that inhibits the visible signs of skin aging and acts as a free radical scavenger by assisting in preventing lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation and actinic radiation (sun damage).
Third, Skin Silk provides a velvety soft finishing for any skin type, including oily or acne prone. Its amazing self-regulating quality controls absorption so that, depending on climate and skin type, your skin will only absorb what it requires.
Finally, hydroscopic (water attracting) agent have been included in significant quantities to increase the skin's moisture levels for a beautifully soft and radiant appearance.

Recover-E
With Vitamin E, Vitamin C, and Beta Carotene
Unique Benefits during the Sleep Cycle
Jan Marini Skin Research Recover-E incorporates specific healing properties, anti-inflammatory agents, and antioxidant substances into a remarkable formula that has unique benefits during the sleep cycle.
Recover-E utilizes three of the most potent free radical scavengers, Vitamin E, Vitamin C, and beta carotene. Beta carotene is an effective single antioxidant, and because it is fat soluble it is able to work in tandem with Vitamin E in the lipid membrane of the cell. Researchers estimate that a single molecule of Vitamin E within a membrane is sufficient to protect 1,000 lipid molecules from free radical chain reaction!
Next, and equally impressive, Recover-E contains a bioflavonoid. Among other attributes, bioflavonoids are believed to reduce capillary fragility, thereby increasing oxygenation. Bioflavonoids also appear suited to the prevention of membrane damage because they gravitate to the lipid bilayer and offer immediate protection. Another valuable aspect of bioflavonoid technology is what is termed "co-worker status." Besides stopping free radical attacks, bioflavonoids can reactivate Vitamin E by passing another electron to "worn out" Vitamin E in order for the Vitamin E to continue acting as a scavenger against free radicals.
Recover-E also contains vital moisture components, including a specially engineered form of cross linked elastin, enabling this formulation to provide a comprehensive topical skin supplement that has outstanding benefits.
