If you knew it was possible to slow down skin aging, would you do it? Rhetorical question, we all would. So you’re going to be interested in what follows. The Novexpert Doctors have discovered one of the keys to longevity thanks to an amazing people living far from our European habits. Far from keeping this secret to themselves, they used their knowledge to benefit your skin. Here’s how.
Discover the people who naturally found one of the keys to youth
Imagine a people who live healthily for over 100 years, where elderly people live at home, without nursing homes, and enjoy the outdoors every day. A people whose skin aging seems slowed despite the sun, wind, or sea spray. This people exists. They live on a Japanese island called Okinawa. This island has three times more centenarians than European countries. How is this possible and how can we do the same? The Novexpert Doctors discovered this over 15 years ago and share it with you today. Hint: it’s not really about genetics, but almost.
Longevity comes down to 3 letters: E-P-I. Epigenetics
The story of Okinawa and Novexpert is so unexpected it could start with “Once upon a time.” Cyrille, founder of Novexpert Laboratories, discovered Okinawa by chance. A chance due to his passion for surfing. With his team of doctors, they then sought the secret of these active centenarians. Was the key in a new gene creating “super grandmas”? No, not really. But DNA was still involved. The people of Okinawa managed to activate a gene, the SIRT-1 gene, nicknamed the “youth gene” by scientists. Once “switched on,” this gene produces proteins called sirtuins that protect and repair cells so they stay healthy longer.
We all have this youth gene, but for most of us, it is deactivated, “off.” Successfully activating (or deactivating) a gene without changing the DNA—that’s epigenetics.
Epigenetics: in a few years your doctor will talk about nothing else
Genes can be imagined like light bulbs; they can be on (active) or off (inactive). And who controls the bulbs? The switch. Biologically, this switch can be our lifestyle: diet, stress, physical activity... or the environment we live in. What you need to understand is that genes are not changed but only expressed or not.
The info we’re all waiting for: how to activate the youth gene?
Eat less to live longer—that’s a phrase that could sum up Okinawa’s philosophy. They practice “Hara hachi Bun me.” Translation: eat until 80% full, meaning a slight daily calorie restriction. This practice, combined with a low-calorie diet (vegetables, fish, fruits), is their secret to switching on the youth gene. Researchers have replicated this calorie restriction in animals with very convincing results: lifespan doubled or even tripled.
You might guess, the Novexpert Doctors created a product to curb hunger… Not exactly. Let’s continue.
Novaxyline: slow down skin aging effortlessly
Inspired by these longevity promises, the Novexpert team developed an innovative, unique, and patented active ingredient capable of activating the youth gene within skin cells. Offering the possibility to slow skin aging without giving up dessert. The Doctors named this biological switch “Novaxyline,” which increases sirtuin production by over 20%. This active ingredient, found only in Novexpert products, was born from the combination of a specific algae and a prebiotic. Novaxyline made Novexpert Laboratories pioneers of epigenetics in cosmetics.
Novaxyline, mechanic and bodyguard of skin cells
How does Novaxyline work to slow skin aging?
It’s a mechanic, or rather it stimulates the mechanics who repair our cells when there’s damage. They are called autophagy actors; they repair or eliminate damaged cell components, thus protecting the skin from accelerated aging. In the presence of sirtuins, autophagy actors increase by 40%, taking care of cell quality. This is significant since, with age, these mechanics become less effective.
And that’s not all, Novaxyline is a bodyguard for stem cells. These cells are special because they are almost “immortal” and can create other cells indefinitely. Everything seems perfect, but not quite… Over time, they become less responsive to signals, slowing cell renewal. Thanks to Novaxyline, they stay active longer and ensure the right number of cells.
Time for action so your skin looks younger by a few years
Now that you know how to slow skin aging, here’s what you can do today to stimulate sirtuin production.
Our discoveries have led to the creation of healthy, safe, and proven effective products containing this famous Novaxyline.
The Pro-Collagen range contains the most. At Novexpert, slowing skin aging is not just seen in the lab, it’s visible on the skin: -38% wrinkles in 28 days thanks to the
Pro-Collagen Booster Serum, for example.
On the nutraceutical side, several actives like resveratrol, quercetin, and vitamin B3 can help sirtuin synthesis. This surprising trio is found in the dietary supplement Peau Repulpée.
Finally, daily, a diet rich in Omega 3 (camelina oil, rapeseed oil, sardines, etc.) or vitamin B12 (royal jelly, oysters, etc.) as well as practicing yoga and meditation would also increase sirtuin levels.
Passionate, curious, and insatiable, Novexpert researchers observe the world to decode its secrets and benefit your skin. More than beauty makers, we want to be knowledge bearers. The example of Okinawa and Novaxyline to slow skin aging is just one chapter of the Novexpert adventure, which continues to unfold.
