Beauty-Package: Dr. Schneider Collagen & Haut Spezial

Your day cream only provides the outer layers of the skin with the essential skin nutrient collagen. However, you will not reach the deeper layers of the skin with so-called topical skincare products which are applied externally. This is what makes the provision of our skin with nutrients that are taken in with the diet so important. Dr. Schneider Collagen Plus Elastin provides your body and thus also your skin with essential nutrients, such as vitamin C which plays an important role for the normal collagen formation of healthy skin. Our product is thus an excellent supplement to your day cream.

In younger skin, collagen fibres and elastin fibres work perfectly together: The collagen makes the tissues stable and tensile, whereas the rubber-like elastin makes sure that the whole lot stays elastic. With age, however, the number of collagen and elastin fibres, as well as of the blood vessels, reduces. The cells of the outer skin divide only every 50 days – instead of every 25 days in its younger years. The result is that the skin and the subcutaneous fatty tissue become thinner, the water and fat content of the skin reduces and the typical signs of skin aging, such as wrinkles, increase. This means that additional support with vitamin C, which supports the normal collagen formation, makes sense from a certain age. The maintenance of the normal connective tissue is supported by the copper contained in the supplement and that manganese ensures normal formation of the tissue. Moreover, the product contains vitamin E and zinc which also help protect the cells from oxidative stress.

Collagen makes up almost 80% of the connective tissue per weight. With increasing age, collagen production decreases. After age 25, collagen synthesis declines by around 1.5% each year. By age 45, collagen levels may have seen reduction of up to 30%. When bioavailable collagen is taken orally, the collagen is distributed throughout the body. In addition, the vitamin C in Dr. Schneider Collagen Plus Elastin supports the natural formation of collagen, and the copper helps the maintenance of normal connective tissue.

Argan oil is also known as "liquid gold from Morocco" due to its colour, uniqueness and high price. Argan oil is produced from the seeds of the argan tree (argania spinosa L. Skeels), which even today grows almost exclusively deep in the south-west of Morocco. The almond-like seeds contain up to 55% oil, of which up to 80% is made up of mono and polyunsaturated fatty acids. In procuring our argan oil, we place great value on sustainable agriculture. Many of the working steps required are carried out by hand, even today, in order to guarantee the high quality of the oil. When the argan tree fruits are ripe, they fall from the tree, are collected and dried out for several weeks in the sun. Then, the dried fruits are cracked open by hand. The argan nuts that are the result are then broken open further to produce the argan almonds for the oil pressing.

The argan oil used for Dr. Schneider Haut Spezial are carefully cold-pressed so that no nutrients are lost. The most important nutrients in argan oil include:

Mono and polyunsaturated fatty acids, phytosterols and squalene, tocopherol (vitamin E), polyphenols and triterpenes

There are two good reasons why argan oil is also known as liquid gold from Morocco. The first of these is the bold yellow-brown colour, which is surely responsible for this metaphor. The second is, however, the oil's very high price which is due to the laborious manufacturing process. In Dr. Schneider Haut Spezial mit Arganöl, we use a very valuable oil that is produced using traditional methods. Production is very time-intensive and laborious, and involves very much manual labour. The collected fruits are desiccated, peeled, and then the shell of the nut is cracked open to get at the seeds or almonds. These almonds are then ground and mechanically pressed, producing 1.5-2 litres of argan oil from around 100 kg of fruit. Around 55-60 hours of manual labour is required to produce this amount of oil.

The argan tree grows only in Morocco on the south-facing slopes of the High Atlas mountains and the north slopes of the western Anti-Atlas range, as well as the river basin of the Massa and Souss rivers between these. This region is known as Arganeraie and includes six provinces (Essaouira, Taroudant, Agadir Ida-Outananane, Inezgane Ait Melloul, Chtouka Ait Baha and Ziznit). Because of its uniqueness, the area was declared a biosphere reserve and has been a UNESCO world heritage site since 1999. Despite this, the argan tree is still threatened with extinction.

Just as in a daily skincare routine with a day cream, we recommend taking one capsule per day of the Dr. Schneider Haut Spezial mit Arganöl with a meal. We like to call it the daily beauty care from the inside. Try to incorporate it into your daily routine. To make it easier, we have selected a small, easy-to-swallow capsule. The blister packaging also makes it easy for you to cut a few capsule off and take them with you in your handbag to the office or on holiday.

We develop our products taking the latest scientific findings into consideration and always try to select the technically most sensible but also the most innovative dosage formats for our products. In particular with Dr. Schneider Haut Spezial mit Arganöl, we have managed to pack a variety of valuable ingredients into a very small and easy-to-swallow capsule. This makes daily consumption and thus daily skin care even easier.

Dr. Schneider Haut Spezial mit Arganöl capsules are a dietary supplement and can be taken indefinitely. We have developed our product in a way that makes it easy to incorporate consumption of the capsule into your daily routine. Just like your daily beauty routine with day cream, you can take can take care of your beauty from the inside. The riboflavin protects your cells from oxidative stress and the biotin helps maintain healthy hair and skin.

SIt's really never too early to start providing your skin with additional nutrients. The skin is our largest organ and should also be paid the most attention. Just as we start early to pamper our skin from the outside with lotions and creams, we should also begin early to support our skin from the inside. Skin aging is strongly influenced by external factors in particular. The most severe risk factors are UV rays from sunlight and cigarette smoke, which can lead to so-called free radicals, free oxygen radicals (ROS) or generally to oxidative stress, and thus damage the cells. Antioxidants such as the riboflavin contained in Dr. Schneider Haut Spezial mit Arganöl can protect the cells from oxidative stress.
