Blackberry Leaf Extract and Smooth Skin!
October 23, 2007
Blackberry leaf extract may be the next ingredient added to many products on the shelf and hopefully too many natural products in the coming future. The research from the international federation of society’s cosmetics chemists’ highlights the astounding properties of this plant. Just when I was reading about this it astounded me completely. Just the thought of knowing which berries and natural eatable products are able to help fight against aging is pretty neat.
Anyhow the blackberry leaf extract is said to fight against aging.
In our skin we have things known as MMPS which are important enzymes that play a huge role in the aging of the skin and how great our skin looks. The older we get the more of these enzymes we get – and their purpose is to breakdown the collagen and elastin in the skin. However with the blackberry leaf extract, studies are showing that the properties in this certain berry acts as an inhibitor. It seems to stop or slow down the production the of the MMP enzyme which in the end slows down the aging process of the skin.
So make sure you eat your berries to people, because what helps us on the outside of our skin can more than ever benefit us more on the inside of it.
