NEW YORK, Feb. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr. Dennis Gross, celebrity
dermatologist, says tap water contains heavy metals which breakdown collagen
and lead to wrinkles. Heavy metals such as iron, copper, magnesium, lead and
zinc are free radicals.
These elements build up on the skin's surface and cause dermatologic
problems such as those Gross first noticed in his practice when clientele
consisting of magazine editors, socialites and designers returned from the
fashion shows in Milan with terrible skin. To combat these problems, MD
Skincare(R) introduces Hydra-Pure Intense Moisture Cream, available at
http://www.mdskincare.com.
"Heavy metals on the skin can lead to skin conditions such as acne,
rosacea, irritation, inflammation and aging," say Dr. Dennis Gross, author of
Your Future Face (Viking 2005). He concluded there are great variations in the
content of heavy metals, calcium, and sulfates from one city to the next.
Hydra-Pure(TM) Intense Moisture Cream, available at
http://www.mdskincare.com, is the first product in the skincare market today
that contains chelators. Chelators are an organic complex that engulf and
sequester the heavy metals on the surface of the skin.
"While the water is clearly drinkable, if you are unlucky enough to be
exposed to bad water on a regular basis your skin can suffer the same kind of
damage, although to a lesser degree, as sitting in the sun with suboptimal
protection," says Dr. Gross, associate clinical professor at New York
University Medical Center.
Chelators, found in MD Skincare(R)'s Hydra-Pure Cream, still allow the
absorption of bound metals which are beneficial to the healthy functioning of
the skin. Their primary function is to prevent the harmful unbound metals,
free radicals, from causing damage, to keep skin healthy and to increase the
efficacy of other skincare products used in a daily regime. Dr. Gross predicts
the introduction of chelators into skincare products could be as important as
sunscreen.
MD Skincare(R)'s Hydra-Pure Intense Moisture Cream was voted the 2005
Breakthrough Product of the Year by Women's Wear Daily Beauty Biz and is
available at Bergdorf Goodman, Nordstrom and Sephora or online at
http://www.mdskincare.com.
