Encore Renewal Serum
Rarely do I find the story about a skincare company’s beginning touching; this is one of those rare moments. Dr. Christine Rodgers is a gifted plastic surgeon out of Denver who also happens to be a breast cancer survivor. What helped her through the healing process? Dance and Music! “Dr. Christine has been witness to the inrinsic healing and wellness properties of both dance and music: increased health, vitality, flexibility and stress reduction. This belief in the transcendent properties of movement led Dr. Christine to christen her skincare line En Pointe Skin Solutions, inspired by the classic tip-toe ballet stance. An assemblé of luxury skincare solutions, En Pointe (to launch in Fall 2008) is reinforced with superior, accurate, specialized formulations and performance – evocative of ballet itself.” (taken from her website).
The Encore Renewal Serum is one of the heavy hitters in the line. Let me ask you a few questions- how efficient are you at your job when you are exhausted? Do you let things slip through the cracks? Are you as meticulous about dotting all i’s and crossing every t as when you are fully rested and alert? Guess what? Our cells are not up to par and are way less efficient when they don’t have enough energy. You can use the greatest products ever created but at the end of the day, if your cells aren’t up to speed you will not see the full benefits of the products. That is where Encore Renewal Serum comes into play. It recharges your cells giving them the energy boost that they need to work efficiently and get the job done!
Science Behind it:
Part of Encore’s Bioenergy Complex is a blend of zinc, copper and magnesium salts. Aging, stress, UV, environmental aggressors, fatigue and pollution are all factors that can negatively affect the uptake of oxygen and electric potential of our cells to be properly energized. The result of this lack of energy is dull, tired, wrinkled and fragile looking skin. Adding zinc, copper and magnesium salts helps stimulate cellular energy and gives the cells a “second wind”.
It also contains powerful anti-inflammatories to keep your skin from becoming irritated. That can help keep the skin hydrated because inflamed skin tends to upset our skin’s protective lipid (oil) barrier; it can also help keep your skin tone even (we discussed that in a previous post). This serum contains a cocktail of very potent skin brighteners to reduce age spots and hyperpigmentation for a healthy youthful glow. What’s good about the choice of brighteners used is that each of the brighteners have a different pathway to reduce melanin production (they are not putting all of their eggs in one basket)! It also has lactic acid to increase cellular turnover and enhance the penetration of the functional ingredients.
There are so many “goodies” in this product but the post would be way too long but I should mention that you get an instant glow from the reflective pigments!
