Hyaluronic Acid moisturizing gel

Our 2 Step Moisturization System offers a duo ~ gel hydrator and lotion moisturizer ~ working in tandem, that we believe provides superior results for every skin type, especially dry and dehydrated skins. Our duo system replicates Nature's perfect moisturizer: perspiration and sebum, mixing together to keep skin moist, lubricated, and protected against the environment. Why two products? First, all skins constantly need hydration for proper cell function and the #1 skin condition is dehydration. Second, the naturally occurring process whereby water evaporates through the skin is called transepidermal water loss (TEWL). We don't want this to happen so we layer the hydrator with a moisturizer, which provides a sealing effect to skin. Dehydration affects all skins and is the #1 most common skin condition. It is also the easiest condition to correct. Once a skin becomes dehydrated, other skin conditions develop (impacted pore debris, sluggish cell turnover, rough texture, dull color) and existing skin conditions often become worse. Our 2 Step moisturization system works wonderfully to combat dehydration.

Step 1 ~ Gel Hydrators or HydraGels add water moisture to the skin. A light cooling hyaluronic acid gel that glides on skin, works as a great makeup base too. Our blend of hyaluronic acid and aloe vera in a seaweed base (forms of algae contain proteins, vitamin A, sugar, starch, vitamin B1, iron, sodium, phosphorus, magnesium, copper, calcium), with select botanicals, is the perfect hydrating fluid for all skins, especially dry or dehydrated skins. This precious gel may be patted onto skin during the day, even over makeup. Not all skins may require this duo system. Oily skins and oily skins in humid climates may find the gel hydrator sufficient as the only moisturizer.

A few years ago Anna Bellina introduced a very different new product called HydraGel. The response was electric and many emailed with questions. The product is now offered in a variety of formulas, called Hydrators, for different skin types.

What is fascinating is that our Hydrator Gel seems to work in all the areas that we care about most - improving our looks; strengthening and balancing our energy; supporting the immune system; helping the body dissolve tensions, aches and pains; and enabling us to start fresh and stay focused throughout the day.

Our Hydrator gel was first designed to be used by estheticians giving facial and lymphatic treatments. But it soon became clear that the formulation had far wider applications. We found that the Hydrator had great benefits for the skin, particularly the face, and that it helped hydrate dehydrated skin, soothe muscular tensions, swollen ankles, heavy legs and tired feet. Others discovered that their energy lifted when they used the Hydrator and that it increased their sense of aliveness. They began applying it under their day cream in the morning to start the day fresh, and dabbing it onto their temples and neck when they felt tired during the day. They found it could even be applied to the solar plexus area to steady someone when they were feeling a little wobbly.

Hydrator gel functions at more than one level. At the physical level it helps maintain the lymph and the circulation of blood to and from the tissues; it also cools and calms where it is applied. These effects come from the charged and fermented botanical extracts of edelweiss, St Johns Wort, ivy, echinacea, witch hazel, cactus, melissa, aloe vera, menthol, camphor, white ginger lily and MSM.

Our Hydrator gel also carries bio-information or energy resonance from bio-activated charged ingredients with specific energy resonance that synergizes the effect of the extracts, and harmonizes or balances the energy of the body. You could say that the energy field of the body becomes more highly organized, more tuned to the individual's optimum function.

Why help lymphatic flow?

It is vitally important for our health that the body�s toxins are swiftly and efficiently removed from our tissues. In a healthy body the flow of lymph is maintained by the movement of our muscles, by the exercise we take. But people who sit at a desk all day, or who need a lot of rest, or who accumulate high levels of toxins in their tissues - from diet or prolonged stress - will benefit from anything that helps optimize lymphatic drainage. Exercise, deep breathing using the diaphragm, detox programs, massage and certain herbs, including echinacea, can all help.

Poor lymphatic drainage creates what therapists call stagnation. Bags under the eyes, a tired puffy face, and swollen ankles or swollen feet are typical examples. When toxins are not efficiently removed from the tissues we feel fatigued, we have less enthusiasm and we're much less able to focus our minds. Spots and blemishes are also more likely to develop and will heal more slowly; tension will be slower to drain and skin will simply have less life.

Applications
Facial care After cleansing, close eyes and apply to entire face, throat and neck down to collar bones. Allow tingling to finish before applying your normal day or night cream.

Tired puffy tissues
To energize facial tissues and help optimize lymphatic tone, including bags under eyes and eyelids, apply as above, morning and evening, after cleansing.

To refresh when tired or stressed
Apply to temples, face, neck, back of neck, behind ears as appropriate, especially when desk-bound or driving long distance.

Tiredness and head pressure
Apply to forehead, temples, back of neck as needed.

Tense shoulders, neck or back

Apply to areas of tension regularly throughout the day.

Nervousness
Apply frequently to the solar plexus (midriff area).

Tired feet
Apply to tired feet, heavy legs, puffy ankles and lower back as appropriate.

Lymphatic drainage
Energy Gel can be applied sparingly to the whole body as needed.

Because the entire Anna Bellina line is without synthetic and harmful preservatives, each product is filled with only 100% active material. There is no water added to the products, therefore to disperse the products properly, the product must be applied to toner damp skin in order to facilitate penetration and absorption.

Key Ingredients

Botanicals
A superior blend of organic botanicals selected for specific properties. This blend helps softens skin and acne impactions for easier extraction. It works even better in this capacity when combined with our Jojoba Emu Oil blend. Also has stimulating and healing benefits to help clear acne. This blend has extracts with high concentrations of vitamin C to help calm and soothe skin and which may help strengthen capillary walls. Beneficial for patients with rosacea or distended capillaries.

Hyaluronic Acid
The #1 moisturizer contains Glucosamine which helps collagen fibers retain water, giving your skin a youthful appearance! Dehydrated skin causes many skin problems and makes any existing skin condition worse. When it rains in the desert, the earth is so dry it cannot absorb the water, so the rain can cause flooding. The rain will roll across the desert and fall into the cracks. Dehydrated skin, or �water dry� skin acts like the desert. Products cannot be absorbed by dehydrated skin. Hydrators are water-based gels that should be used twice daily to combat dehydration which is the most common skin problem. Just as everybody should drink water, everybody should use a Hydrator Gel on their skin. Dehydrated skin appears dry, scaly, and flaky. It feels tight and may crinkle when gently pulled. A person with oily skin may think they have dry skin but it is really dehydrated. If they were to use products for dry skin, they would have worse problems. When skin becomes dehydrated, the surface layers of cells harden up and form a thin covering over the surface of the skin. This dehydrated covering is like putting Saran Wrap on the skin � none of the wonderful ingredients get in and none of the oil secretions get out. This entrapment of oils under the surface of the skin is particularly detrimental in the case of someone with acne. In addition, dehydrated skin is always more sensitive because just as the dry desert earth has cracks, dehydrated skin has little invisible fissures or cracks that allow pollutants to seep in and cause irritation.

Essential Oil - Menthol - Camphor Synergy
The select essential oil blend has a superior synergy that has delivered excellent results in reducing bacteria, painful pus filled cysts, redness, inflammation, and broken capillaries. Helps regulate hormones while controlling bacteria and excess oil production.

MSM
Pine tree bark sourced MSM helps maintain healthy, flexible joints and muscles. MSM is also good for maintaining strong hair and nails, and beautiful skin.

Silk has been the oriental secret to beautiful young skin for centuries. Silk protein and amino acids possess UV ray inhibiting properties, therefore offers natural UV protection as well as controlling melanin build up, help reduce pore size as they protect the skin from dehydration, penetrate the skin to leave a silky smooth feel. Silk amino acids (also called silk proteins and sericin) are obtained by the hydrolysis of silk - a natural protein fiber. The soft lustrous thread obtained from the silk cocoon woven by the silkworm is so converted and used in cosmetic preparations. It gives the skin a very soft and velvety feel when used in a cosmetic product, and has some good water-binding properties and silk amino acids (silk proteins) also has a certain amount of antioxidant action. Silk amino acids (silk proteins) are used to prevent dehydration and is mostly found in eye rejuvenation gels and creams. Superbly soft and shiny, silk is actually an animal fiber spun by the silkworm while it constructs its cocoon. The fiber is similar in structure to the human skin cells, but is also extraordinary strong and resilient. This pure protein cocoon, is made up of amino acids, which is said to reduce the human aging process. In fact top medical practitioners have recommended pure silk pillows as the best option to sleep on as they are so gentle on the skin, will cause the least amount of wrinkling and will protect your hair from splitting.

Witch Hazel is the strongest anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and great skin calmer. Pure witch hazel reduces redness, rashes, itching, swelling, and scaling of skin. Especially recommended for acne, mature, or damaged skin. Heals cracked or blistered skin and is extremely good for soothing eczema and psoriasis. An anti-inflammatory, scar preventative, and is an effective wound wash and antiseptic.

The aloe vera base is 99.7% pure certified organic aloe vera gel and 0.3% thickeners and natural preservatives. Aloe Vera is the organic cold pressed whole leaf liquid that contains over 75 nutrients and 200 active compounds, including 20 minerals, 18 amino acids, and 12 vitamins. A high quality Aloe which uses only the nutritious inner gel, not the outer rind of the leaf, and is one of the most nutritious and best skin care ingredients available.

WHY is Hydration so Important?
You cannot have proper cell function unless your skin is well hydrated. Dehydrated skin is the #1 Skin Condition! This dehydration leads to impacted pore debris resulting in blackheads, a dull lifeless complexion, premature aging, and rampant free radical damage. When this happens, skin cannot perform it's natural exfoliation process and 30 day cell turnover so becomes sluggish and even inflamed. The antioxidant rich botanical blend encourages cellular proliferation by gently removing the excessive buildup of dead skin cells. This buildup is called keratinization and left untreated can lead to uneven texture, roughness, and congestion in the skin.

Dehydrated skin is the #1 skin condition which causes many skin problems and makes any existing skin problem worse.When it rains in the desert, the earth is so dry it cannot accept the water, so the rain can cause flooding. The rain will roll across the desert and fall into the cracks. Dehydrated skin, or �water dry� skin acts like the desert. Products cannot be absorbed by dehydrated skin, nor can waste products escape.

Hydrators are hydrosol-based gels that should be used daily, morning and evening to combat dehydration, the most common skin condition. Dehydrated skin appears dry, scaly, and flaky. It feels tight and may �crinkle� when gently pulled. A person with oily skin may think they have dry skin but it is really dehydrated.

Your dermagel is fabulous�. I love the way it instantly absorbs into my skin and gives me a glow that never looks oily. A stranger told me that other day that I have a great complexion! (for someone who has had problem skin, forever) Wow, made me feel good.

from Lisa
Hello there- I like your new website! Just wanted to tell you how much I love the Dermagel versus the Dermalotion. I think my skin likes it better too. My skin is very oily especially around this time of year and it absorbs the gel instantly! I like the way my mineral make-up goes over it, and my breakouts have been reduced. On my way to work this morning �I noticed the lines between my brows are fading, Feels good, especially when I see women my age looking soooo much older!!! Oh how did I live all of these years without your products-and thank the Lord in heaven that I don't have to now.

Am loving the (SS Silk Hydriance) Dew Drops. So light but so moisturizing. Gives a beautiful finish and seems to even out skin tone all on its own. This has been just what my skin needed once I had to start turning the heat on!

from Tanja
Just a short note to say thank-you. I persevered, and my skin has not reacted again with either the Dew Drops or the HR Cream. Instead, my skin is looking absolutely wonderful and feels so soft and smooth (even the scent or roses drifting off my face is so very delightful and calming to my senses). After eight years of worrying and stressing over how my face felt and looked due to it's sensitivity to everything it has been exposed to, I can't believe I have found a cure with your products. I haven't been using the doctor prescribed Elidel cream for three weeks now and boy, what an improvement.

from Susan
Just a note to thank you for the great products I just received! I have been putting the Dew Drops on my lips at night followed by the Coq10 moisturizer. My lips were so chapped, and this is helping a LOT!! Thanks so much!!
