BODY3 COMPLEXTM: 3-IN-1 BODY SKIN ENHANCER

Body3 ComplexTM is a unique cosmetic active complex whose triple- action formula aims at fighting the appearance of cellulite and stretch marks and increasing firmness.

3 INGREDIENTS

Unroasted shea butter extract

Unroasted shea butter extract is obtained through a sustainable process and is made by women in Burkina Faso villages. When manufactured without the traditional roasting phase, shea butter preserves its viminalol ester content and its slimming active properties.

Avocado seed extract

Avocado seeds are by-products of the Burkina Faso food industry. Avocado seed extract is rich in unsaponifiable matter known to activate connective tissue metabolism.

Bentonite

The avocado seed and unroasted shea butter extracts are entrapped in this multi-lamellar active clay, creating a powder-form ingredient that is easier to formulate. Bentonite provides biological benefits such as the regeneration of extra-cellular matrix proteins (ECM). The bentonite also provides a progressive-release delivery system.

3 ACTIONS

Reduction of the appearance of cellulite

Cellulite is seen in 85% of women regardless of age, ethnic origin, body shape or weight. It is characterized by fat accumulation in adipocytes particularly on the thighs, buttocks, hips and stomach. Body3 ComplexTM differentiates itself from other slimming agents by its unique ability to stimulate lipolysis by acting on the ZAG pathway.

Enhancement of firmness

Without ECM fibers, adipocytes escape from the hypodermis and move toward the surface of the skin to form cellulite. Body3 ComplexTM is able to stimulate SKALP (SKin-derived AntiLeukoProteinase), an elastase inhibitor, to inhibit elastase activity, thereby limiting dermis degradation leading to a reduction of fat infiltration.

Reduction of the appearance of stretch marks

Studies have demonstrated that the silanols contained in bentonite are known to regenerate ECM proteins. The bentonite contained in Body3 ComplexTM reduces the color, length and overall appearance of stretch marks.

FACE YOUR BODY: Elevate Your Skin Care

The skin is our largest organ, measuring roughly 22 square feet. Sure, many of us treat our facial skin daily… but that amounts to about a mere 5 percent of our total skin. Plus, facial skin is much thinner and so much more delicate than the skin on the body. On the other hand, body skin—which is bombarded with an onslaught of daily environmental aggressors—requires and deserves a different set of products to prevent signs of premature aging and promote overall skin health.

Face Your Body with Goldfaden MD

Goldfaden MD’s high-performance, three-piece Bodycare Collection is all about skin fitness. Keeping your skin healthy, fresh, and fit is paramount to our brand philosophy—and that includes the skin on your body.

This supercharged trio was developed to exfoliate, polish, refine, treat, and nourish to keep skin looking and feeling vibrant while helping to prevent signs of premature aging.

“Body care has become an afterthought, as many of us rush through it with endless options of no-name products or completely neglect it altogether. Otherwise, we wait it out and rely on time-consuming in-office procedures,” says Lisa Goldfaden, co-founder of Goldfaden MD. “My father, Dr. Gary Goldfaden, has been treating patients, full-body, for decades. As we continue to be at the forefront of product innovation, we felt it was crucial to create an easy-to-use body collection.”

Harnessing the brand’s proprietary “body complex,” these high-performance products were designed to target key concerns, such as:

  • sagging skin
  • uneven texture and tone
  • cellulite
  • sun damage
  • dehydration and dryness
  • dull, lifeless skin
  • scaly skin
  • loss of elasticity
  • loss of moisture

When used together, these products will help to firm, smooth, hydrate, moisturize, and revitalize skin from the neck down. After all, Goldfaden MD is a *firm believer* that skincare means caring for all your skin—not just the skin on your face.

Why you need an eye cream + how to shop for one

The skin around the eyes is up to ten times thinner and more delicate than the rest of the face, therefore making it vulnerable to the effects of sun exposure, environmental pollutants and glycation. As we age, oxidative stress generated from sun exposure, environmental elements/pollution, and glycation produce destructive structural changes that favor collagen degradation.

The under-eye skin, lids and surrounding skin is extremely thin, with the lowest elasticity, firmness, and oil production, the worst barrier function (i.e. limited absorption of actives and poor protection from environmental stressors and often times develops the deepest wrinkles. Dark circles and puffiness usually come hand in hand and are usually caused by a circulatory problem in which the small blood vessels and  capillaries, as we mature, lose the ability to return the blood back to the system and tend to back up into the lymphatic tissue (which is called edema) where fluid is accumulated and thus causes puffiness. Sounds so encouraging, right? Well, we have some tips to help navigate through the sea of treatments to determine what is best for you.

Looking to target issues of puffiness and dark circles, choose an eye cream which contains anti-inflammatory fighting ingredients such as Arnica, Caffeine and/or soothing tea extracts.


“Everyone should be using an eye cream/treatment by the mid-twenties.” Dr. Goldfaden says 

Dark Circles

Visible changes under and around the eye area include hyperpigmentation or” dark circles”, some fine lines and textural changes due to the thinness of the skin from diminished levels of collagen production. Look for treatments which contain antioxidants and anti-inflammatory ingredients, including –  Red Tea/Rooibos, which has high levels of Vitamins A, C and E to ward off free-radicals and give an extra boost to collagen production and Arnica –  a plant that has the power to fade bruises, heal sprains and fight inflammation in different areas of our body, including under our eyes. By building collagen, the treatments help to minimize the appearance of dark circles that are in-part caused by blood vessels close to the surface of aging, thinner skin and reduce inflammation around the eye area.

Dark circles can be a result of dehydration, so using a deeply hydrating ingredient such as hyaluronic acid (which has the ability to hold up to 1,000 times its own weight in water) will help combat the appearance of darkness but also help with strengthening and plumping the skin as well.

Fine Lines

Retinol creams and treatments for those who can tolerate them, gentle can be helpful. Retinol can help to increase cell turnover thereby minimizing dark-circles and textural changes. They also can help stimulate collagen production thereby preventing volume loss and strengthening the skin.

Peptide-based eye creams often present an effective alternative (especially if you have sensitive skin) to retinol-based products. Peptide based eye products can be beneficial if you’re looking for an alternative to dermal fillers/plastic surgery or just for maintenance purposes in the interim. Peptides are designed to provide collagen-boosters to your skin and improve circulation, so you can often expect reduced darkness and an increase in skin plumpness and elasticity.

Puffiness 

Mild swelling or puffiness under the eyes — are common as you age. With aging, the tissues around your eyes, including some of the muscles supporting your eyelids, weaken. Normal fat that helps support the eyes can then move into the lower eyelids, causing the lids to appear puffy. One of our favorite ingredients to combat puffiness? Caffeine.

There’s a reason caffeine is often found in products that are meant reduce the appearance of puffiness. Coffee is chock-full of important antioxidants that can prevent or slow down the damaging of cells, therefore reducing inflammation in your body. Caffeine also works to reduce the amount of blood that accumulates under the eyes (a major factor that contributes to dark circles), so it acts as a double-power active for the eyes.
