Urban Response & Environmental Stressors

Each day our skin is bombarded by environmental aggressors such as air pollution, solar radiation, and harsh weather conditions. If you’re living in a city or heavily populated area, you’re especially vulnerable to high levels of ozone, toxic irritants, smoke, and other aggressors. These environmental stressors cause the release of free radicals which contributes to environmental ageing.

Couple these factors with everyday stress and irritating cosmetics and you have a recipe for disaster - at least as far as your skin is concerned. So what’s an esthetician to do? Look to Selvert. They’ve created an innovative line of products, called Urban Response, to protect against environmental ageing, chronological ageing, and damage to the cell membrane. Urban Response combines Ectoines and Thermal Water (rich in ions, sodium, and potassium) to stabilize the molecular structure of the skin and provide effective relief from environmental factors while strengthening the skin’s immune system.

Ectoines are organic molecules that act as stabilizers for biomolecules and cells. In nature they serve to protect bacteria from heat, temperature extremes, water loss, and low atmospheric humidity. Ectoines are amphoteric water-binding substances that stabilize biopolymers such as proteins, nucleic acids, and membranes. They exhibit protecting effects against UV exposure thereby strengthening the skin’s immune system.

Dull Lifeless Skin

As skin care specialists, each day you see clients with dull, lifeless skin. These are some of the manifestations of an over-taxed or weakened immune system. Help your clients to healthier, more radiant skin. Urban Response combines Ectoines and Thermal water with some of the most technologically advanced agents in dermo-cosmetics. There are four formulations suited for each client’s individual needs and skin type:
