Why Buy Face Cream by Senté
Senté, Inc. is a privately held specialty aesthetics company leveraging its expertise and foundation in biotechnology to deliver novel, science-based skincare products. Senté is a recognized leader in the development of innovative and targeted skincare products based on Glycosaminoglycans. Senté products are the only aesthetic products formulated with HSA, a patented low molecular weight heparan sulfate analog.
So what exactly is Heparan Sulfate Analog
This is a patented ingredient found exclusively in the SENTÉ product line. The technology behind HSA is to mimic the endogenous heparan sulfate found in our skin, which plays a critical role in skin health, aging, and wound healing. As we age, the HS levels in our skin decrease and leads to photo-aged and dehydrated-looking skin so its important to maintain and support collagen and elastin production in our skin.
An all-In-One Maintenance Product, that will hydrate, firm, and act as a growth-factor leaving your skin brighter and healthy looking. An anti aging face moisturizer that even the most sensitive skin will love (approved for use after any treatment). Includes powerful antioxidants Vitamin A, C, and E, in addition to Argan Oil (for hydration), and Acetyl Glucosamine for correcting skin discoloration.
The amazing Bio Complete Face Serum is clinically tested to provide immediate hydration, softer skin, and the anti aging benefits of (gentle) Retinol that works continuously to renew the skin without irration resulting in a diminished appearance of fine lines and wrinkles .
There's a lot of noise and claims that are made in the anti-aging skincare field that are unsubstantiated. So for those interested in improving the signs of photo-damage, such as fine lines, dry skin, and uneven pigmentation pay close attention as the benefits from adding any of the Senté skincare products to your anti-aging regimen are extraordinary.
The SENTÉ skincare line with their amazing face creams is based on an exclusive, innovative ingredient, heparan sulfate analog (HSA). HS is the most biologically active of the glycoproteins that reside in human skin. It was first used in Europe to aid burns and wound skin care. Senté took the HS molecule and formulated it into a low weight molecular structure that could penetrate to the deepest layers of the skin. Because of it's biological activity, it provides profound skin repair by hydrating and smoothing fine lines by working from the inside out.
The flagship product from SENTÉ line is the Dermal Repair Cream and Dr. Pratt recommends this anti-wrinkle moisturizer for those that want to diminish the appearance of fine lines and help to improve dry skin hydration. Excellent for sensitive skin especially skin that mature and dehydrated.
Senté skin repair products are offered exclusively through approved physicians offices. Dr. Pratt as one of the leading doctors in the anti-aging field is proud to offer the exclusive Senté face cream line.

The Health Benefits of Guava
Constipation
Cough & Cold Diarrhea & Dysentery
High Blood Pressure
Skin Care
Scurvy
Its scientific name is Psidium Guajava. Many have called this Vitamin C rich fruit the apple of the tropics. Quite a common fruit in tropical regions, you can also find guavas growing in Hawaii, Florida and California during the fall and winter months. It is hard not to immediately love this fruit as the sweetness and fragrance of this meaty delicious. They are an excellent source of Vitamin C. A small guava (about 4 oz) fruit contains about four times the amount of vitamin C as an orange. Rich in pectin, folate, phosphorus and carotenoids (most notable lycopene) are also present. It is a good looking pear shaped or round shaped seasonal fruit, light green or yellow or maroon in color from outside when ripe, with white or maroon flesh and lots of small hard seeds enveloping very soft and sweet pulp.

Super Nutrients for Skin and Health
Vitamin C otherwise known as pure L-Ascorbic Acid is one of the most studied antioxidants in science. Its is a prominent factor in reducing inflammation which as in other organ systems, plays a role in skin health, It has been shown to help prevent heart disease and some forms of cancer, and high blood levels have been inversely associated with all cause mortality. All antioxidants communicate with Vitamin C in one way or another.
Anti Aging - Vitamin C For Skin Repair There is just no escaping the fact that as you get older you face a gradual decline in the factors that give your skin the young healthy glow. However, there is evidence that eating a healthy diet and in some case applying topical skin creams can help to repair the fine lines and wrinkles that come with time. Anti aging treatments have come a long way but there is no denying that as old as time is, eating healthy always shows.
Rid Your Skin from Free Radical Damage
Skin is your largest organ system so it is wise to know a few things about it. One important fact is that Vitamin C is naturally found in skin tissue. Once inside the skin, this amazing vitamin helps to neutralize free radicals that are formed by exposure to UV rays. When the skins;s supply of Vitamin C is depleted from sun exposure, pollution and smoking, the skin's ability to prevent and repair free radical damage is compromised. Resulting in age spots, wrinkles and uneven darkening of the skin.
Vitamin C Study on Topical Skin Creams
In 2003 a double blind study study was conducted to see if Vitamin C could help to lighten sun damaged skin. Participants had topical Vitamin C applied to half of the face and a placebo to the other side The results were astonishing as the side where the Vitamin C was applied has a significant improvement. This is because the Vitamin C helps to boost the production of collagen. Which as we all know as we age the collagen production slows down. And as this is so important in keeping skin toned and smooth we need to remind our skin to keep on producing this essential protein. Otherwise we are left with saggy skin that is uneven in color.
Benefits of Vitamin C
Because of all the benefits of Vitamin C has for your skin remember to bring it into your diet and skin care regimen as it can and will help you look younger and feel better. Bottom line this is one vitamin that is sure to help reduce the look of wrinkles and improve your skins tone and over quality.
Summertime Superfood
One of the best Summer-time SuperFoods that have been starting to get the respect it needs is beets — known around the world as beetroots, BEETS are incredibly anti-aging nutrient-rich. Loaded with supernutrients and phytochemicals. Beets are high in folates and Vitamin C and boast the highest natural sugar content of any vegetable. And it is the sugar beet that accounts for roughly 30 percent of sugar production in the world. As far as I know this gem of a superfood has been an underrated root vegetable.
"Chioggia" Beet
Beets In Color
You can find this earthly fresh beets in a colorful spectrum of jewel tones ranging from the familiar deep purple-red to pink to the distinctive candy-striped Italian beet known as Chioggia the beet from an Italian coastal town situated on a little island at the southern entrance to the Venetian lagoon as well as shades of orange and yellow. The sweet earthly tastes delicious no matter which color variant you choose.
The Juice of the Beet
Beet juice is rich in natural sugar, sodium, sulphur, chlorine, iodine, copper and vitamin B1, B2, C and bio flavonoids. Some holistic practitioners believe that beet juice combined with other juices like carrot and cucumber are excellent for cleansing the kidneys and gallbladder and for restoring health to these organs. Beets are a rich source of folate as well as natural red pigments that may be cancer fighters.
How to Eat Beets
Beets can be served hot or cold, pickled, roasted, juiced, deep fried, pulverized or eaten raw. Whichever way you choose to eat this superfood, fresh, raw or grated into a salad just remember that heating beets decreases the antioxidant power.
Best Time For Beets
You can buy beets all year-round but they are in their prime from about June until October.
Beets are a Source of:
Vitamin C
Potassium
Manganese
Folate
Beta-Carotene
Beets Get No Respect
Often I think that people who think they dislike the vegetable have never tasted freshly prepared beets. If you have only tried the canned or pickled versions you are really doing yourself an injustice as these beets are inferior and nothing like the real thing.
Did You Know:
Mythology says Venus, the goddess of love, ate beets to enhance her beauty.
Lore has it that beets are good for your blood, literally and figuratively.
