![]() A·R·T Age Refining Technology The future of anti-aging skin care is finally here! Introducing a superior concept in skin restoration, Young Living's A·R·T, Age Refining Technology, combines DNA recovery enzymes - an advanced technology - with a proprietary Anti-Aging Peptide Complex to reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles, diminish age spots, even skin tone and increase the elasticity and density of your skin. Recognizing the incredible power of the essential oils Sandalwood and Frankincense, including their ability to replenish DNA, Young Living has added both oils to these unique formulas. By adding the legendary wolfberry seed oil, known for its superior moisturizing and skin conditioning properties, Young Living has created the formula for a truly unique and effective skin care system. Let Young Living enhance your own natural beauty and restore your work of A·R·T. The new A·R·T skin care system contains 3 products - a gentle foaming cleanser, and two moisturizers - day and night. The purpose of the products is to repair the DNA of the skin, thicken the skin, increase the amount of collagen under the skin to give it a fuller, healthier, less wrinkled look, and reduce the risk of developing skin cancer. The fragrances are delightfully light and natural. They have just a hint of pine which would be the alpha-pinene in the frankincense and sandalwood. The cleanser contains frankincense, sandalwood, melissa, and chamomile, as well as vitamin E and green tea leaf extracts - all natural antioxidants. The day creme contains a photolyase enzyme which uses daylight to repair DNA. It also contains wolfberry seed oil, vitamins A, C, and E, and frankincense and sandalwood oils The night creme contains enzymes which use the body's energy to repair and replace damaged DNA. This is amazing because the process actually involves locating damaged DNA strands, removing the portion which is damaged, and replacing it with a new section containing information from the original undamaged blueprint. It also contains wolfberry seed oil, and the essential oils of chamomile, sandalwood, and frankincense. This is probably the most amazing skin care system available anywhere at any price. The reason is that Young Living has brought together 3 health supporting technologies which have not EVER been used together until NOW. 1. Enzymes which are scientifically proven to REPAIR DNA. (There are a few other cosmetic companies which are also using this technology.) 2. Liposomes - these are fats which help in the absorption of nutrients and other molecules into the cells. We use this technology in our toothpaste and mouthwash. With the A·R·T system, the liposomes help take the molecules through the outer layers of the skin, deep into the tissue below. (No other cosmetic company is using this technology that we know of.) 3. Essential Oils - adding the essential oils of frankincense, sandalwood, melissa, and chamomile generates a quantum leap in the care and protection of the largest of our organs - our skin. Studies have proven that frankincense and sandalwood reduce the risk of cancer... So let's face it - our skin, especially skin on our face, takes a beating every day. We're exposed to air, water, sunlight, environmental toxins, UV rays, free radicals, dirt, etc. As we age, we have a lot of cellular damage which is called lipofuscin. Lipofuscin is soot in the cells. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Like any work of art, the natural process of aging can have a negative affect on the texture, tone and appearance of skin. As we age, our skin is repeatedly exposed to harmful chemicals and damaging sunlight. Over time, this exposure causes significant damage to DNA and eventually, the skin starts to thin, age spots appear, and uneven skin tone and wrinkle formation result. In fact, persistent DNA damage is the primary cause of aging on the skin. Aging also weakens the body's ability to produce collagen. The dermis, which lies just beneath the top layer of your skin, consist of cells called fibroblasts that produce collagen. As skin matures, fibroblasts lose the ability to produce collagen which causes the epidermis, or top layer of skin, to thin and as a result, deeply-bedded wrinkles occur. To actually restore your complexion's vibrant, youthful appearance, you must enhance your body's natural ability to repair DNA. Young Living has combined the newest DNA recovery technology, with the latest collagen enhancing ingredients, creating a formula that can combat the visible signs of aging at the cellular level, renewing younger-looking skin. The future of anti-aging skin care is truly a work of A·R·T. "As a scientist involved in the development of the A·R·T products, I was dedicated to developing a product that was more than just wrinkle protection. The A·R·T Skin Care System combines ingredients and technologies that address skin care and skin health, while providing powerful anti-aging benefits as well. I've used this product for almost two months, and from the beginning I have noticed immediate results. The product absorbs quickly, my skin is considerably softer, and I have experienced greater elasticity in my face. I have also noticed improved skin tone, a firmer appearance, and the fine lines and wrinkles have started to recede and disappear. Even my friends and family have noticed a difference! The impact of this product has been dramatic. Bill Popin Research Director Key Features 1. Promotes superior skin recovery with 2 innovative enzymes, and a proprietary blend of pure essential oils, which can enhance recovery and reduce premature aging of the skin. Photolyase: Light-activated and suitable for day use. This enzyme uses light to enhance your skin's ability to replenish DNA segment in the damaged cell. Endonuclease: Uses energy in your body to cut damaged DNA segment, reproduce the original segment before damage, and insert the new segment back into the correct place in the cell's DNA structure. Essential Oils Frankincense and Sandalwood: Support and sustain the skin's ability to renew DNA. 2. Reduces the look of fine lines, wrinkles and age spots by enhancing the skin's ability to produce collagen and elastin. --Delivers a revolutionary Anti-Aging Peptide Complex that includes Matrixyl 3000, which helps increase the density of the skin by producing collagen I, III, IV and fibronectin by a factor of at least 200 --Provides Vitamin C which, when combined with Matrixyl, produces a 50increase in skin matrix regeneration than the Anti-Aging Peptide Complex alone. 3. Contains the legendary Wolfberry Seed Oil for added moisturizing properties. --Advanced delivery technology ensures skin is getting the maximum benefit and a more efficient application. --Laminar phase technology delivers an equal amount of the active ingredients along the surface of the skin and forms a barrier that allows greater penetration and efficacy. This same barrier also retains moisture and protects the skin from the environment. --Advanced Liposome technology delivers ingredients faster, and in greater concentrations, to the lower layers of the skin. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS A·R·T SKIN CARE SYSTEM Q1: What are enzymes and how do they actually repair DNA? A1: An enzyme is a protein molecule produced inside our bodies that triggers chemical reactions of other substances. When we are exposed to the sun, DNA is attacked in the nucleus or "brain" of the cells. When DNA is damaged, cytokines are released and cause apoptosis, the "death of cells," peeling and increased risk of skin cancer. The DNA repair enzymes are DNA Binding Proteins that penetrate the skin via liposome technology, and have a strong attraction to the DNA in the nucleus. The liposomes have been engineered to explode within the cell and release the enzymes that immediately target DNA. New enzymes restore damaged DNA and improve texture and appearance of skin. Q2: How do the Day Activator and Night Reconstructor Creams differ? A2: The Day Activator contains a light-activated Photolyase enzyme that uses natural and artificial light to repair damaged DNA during the day, while the Night Reconstructor contains an Endonuclease enzyme that uses energy in your body to restore DNA at night. BOTH creams contain a proprietary blend of pure essential oils that reinforce DNA repair, and the Anti-Aging Peptide Complex with MatrixylT 3000 that reduces the look of fine lines and wrinkles by improving elasticity and increasing the thickness of the skin. Q3: Does the Day Activator Cream contain an SPF? A3: No, the Day Activator does not contain an SPF. Sunscreen should be applied over the Day Activator to protect skin from serious sun damage. Q4: If I use sunscreen, will the Photolyase (light-activated) enzyme in the Day Activator still work? A4: Yes. Although sunscreen will protect skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays, it should not interfere with the enzymes ability to penetrate the skin and restore damaged DNA. Q5: How does the Day Activator and Night Reconstructor compare to Synergy's DNA Repair Cr�? A5: Synergy's DNA Repair Cr� contains a similar enzyme technology that supports DNA renewal; however, Young Living's Age Refining Technology also has a proprietary blend of pure essential oils that support DNA repair and an exclusive Anti Aging Peptide Complex, composed of Matrixyl and Vitamin C, that has been shown to significantly increase the production of collagen in your skin. In addition, Young Living has added the legendary Wolfberry Seed Oil that provides intense moisture properties for your skin. This powerful combination of ingredients restores DNA and reverses the signs of aging by improving skin texture, tone and appearance. ART also helps reduce the look of wrinkles by increasing the elasticity and density of your skin. Q6: Are the Cleanser and the Creams compatible with all skin types: dry, oily and combination skin? A6: Yes, the Gentle Foaming Cleanser, Day Activator and Night Reconstructor are suitable for all skin types. However, it is important to remember that this system is intended as the fundamental first step in skin care. Individuals with specific needs (dry skin, puffy eyes, acne, rosacea, etc.) may use additional products. Individuals in humid vs. arid environments may need to adjust usage of support products also. Q8: Are the ingredients in these products all natural? A8: No. Whenever possible, YL uses natural sources and/or non-animal sourced ingredients in our formulations. In rare instances, and when there aren't naturally-sourced alternatives, YL may utilize modified natural substances, or ingredients from an animal source, to allow for superior performance and stability. For a complete reference sheet on all product ingredients in A·R·T please visit the website HERE. Q9: What essential oils are included in these products? A9: Frankincense, Sandalwood, German Chamomile and Melissa. The Frankincense and Sandalwood support DNA repair, while the German Chamomile and Melissa support skin health. Q10: If these products contain essential oils, are they still considered oil-free products? A10: Not oil-free, but free from animal or synthetic oils (lanolin, mineral oil) and other fatty acids like other oil-based cosmetic products. Essential Oils are only comprised of chemical compounds and should not clog pores or irritate skin. Q11: What other essential oil, nutritional or personal care products should be used with the A·R·T Essentials System? A11: All of our products can be used with the A·R·T Essentials System (Refer to EDR). It is also important to remember that good health, exercise, water, vitamins and minerals, antioxidants, cleansing programs and dietary supplements all support healthy skin. ART is intended as the base or fundamental first steps. Other products can be used internally and externally to support (individual needs). Q12: How should you incorporate use of the Wolfberry Eye Cr� with the skin care products? A12: This product can, and should be used morning and night to enhance moisturization around the surface of the eye area, ease eye puffiness, diminish dark circles and to promote skin tightening. Some of the essential oils in the Wolfberry Eye Cr� have also been shown to support DNA repair as well. Product can be applied before or after use of the Day and Night creams. Q13: Why should I use the Day Activator instead of the Sandalwood Moisture Cream or Neurogen? A13: Day Activator is an anti-aging day cream that helps improve cosmetic appearance by stimulating the production of collagen and supporting DNA repair, and is best suited for the face and neck regions. Sandalwood Moisture Cream or Neurogen can be used in addition to the Day Activator, and may be better suited for use on hands or other parts of the body. Q14: What are the benefits of using the Sandalwood Toner with this system? A14: Sandalwood Toner can be used with A·R·T as a complementary product to finalize the cleansing step, return skin to pH balance, and prepare the face for Day Activator application. Q15: I have dry skin, should I continue to use Regenolone or will the Day Activator and Night Reconstructor Creams provide the moisture my skin needs? A15: If an application of the A·R·T skin care creams do not provide adequate moisturizing, Regenolone can be used with these products. Use and application of either product should be adjusted according to individual skin care needs. Q16: Should I use the Orange Blossom Facial Wash or the new Gentle Foaming Cleanser? A16: Both cleansers can be used as a daily skin care regimen. The Gentle Foaming Cleanser should be used prior to the application of A·R·T skin care creams, while the Orange Blossom Facial Wash can be used anytime during the day, or as needed, for general cleansing. Q17: Can I still use the Boswellia Wrinkle Cream with this system? What are the benefits? A17: Yes, Boswellia Wrinkle Cream is a perfect companion product. BWC is loaded with anti-oxidants to maintain cell integrity, fight free-radical damage and support DNA repair with oils like Frankincense and Sandalwood. BWC also contains moisturizing ingredients like retinyl palmitate and soothing oils from the Wolfberry and Grapeseed. Q18: What will this product do for Rosacea? A18: Rosacea (pronounced roh-ZAY-sha) is a common but little-known/understood disorder of the facial skin that affects an estimated 14 million Americans and is often characterized by flare-ups and remissions. Many have observed that it typically begins any time after age 30 as a redness on the cheeks, nose, chin or forehead that may come and go. In some cases, rosacea may also occur on the neck, chest, scalp or ears. Over time, the redness becomes ruddier and more persistent, and visible blood vessels may appear. Left untreated, bumps and pimples often develop, and in severe cases the nose may grow swollen and bumpy from excess tissue. Unfortunately, the cause of rosacea is unknown and there is no cure. Typical signs of Rosacea include: ~ Redness on the cheeks, nose, chin or forehead. ~ Small visible blood vessels on the face. ~ Bumps or pimples on the face. ~ Watery or irritated eyes. Rosacea sufferers can improve their chances of maintaining remission by identifying and avoiding lifestyle and environmental factors that trigger rosacea flare-ups or aggravate their individual conditions. A·R·T can help diminish the redness associated with rosacea, especially for those who have symptoms that appear after prolonged sun exposure. People living with this skin condition should always generously apply the Day Activator cream to help avoid the redness triggered by sunlight. Of course, A·R·T can also help smooth skin texture, soothe, moisturize and even skin tone which can be beneficial for people living with this skin condition. Q19: Will this product affect or improve acne? A19: This product was not formulated to treat acne; therefore, it is important to continue the use of your existing regimen as it relates to treating acne. For example, if you are using a bacteria killing cleanser or cream, simply incorporate the use of this skin care system into your existing regimen. By discontinuing the use of your acne treatment products, you are more prone to breakouts. However, the A·R·T skin care products DO NOT contain any ingredients such as heavy mineral oils or other synthetics that would foster or enhance blemishes and breakouts, and does not contain any harsh fragrance or other ingredients that irritate skin or clog pores. Q20: Will this product improve the appearance of scars? A20: While we have not tested this product on scars, the ability for Matrixyl to plump and thicken the skin could have a positive affect on diminishing the appearance of scars. Although the research is ongoing, you can always incorporate the use of other healthy skin treatments such as Vitamin E that have been shown to reduce the appearance of scars. As we age, scars often start to diminish on their own as well. Q21: Will this product decrease the size of my pores? A21: Because A·R·T is not an astringent, it is unknown whether or not this product will help shrink the size of pores. However, ART DOES contain some botanicals, such as Melissa in the Foaming Cleanser that may have that type of affect on skin. In fact, while conducting an informal product trial internally, many men and women saw a noticeable decrease in the appearance of pore size. Q22: What if I stop using the product, will my skin revert back to its original condition and appearance? A22: Absolutely. If you aren't enhancing your body's ability to stimulate the production of collagen, and you continue to expose skin to sunlight and other damaging environmental toxins, rugged skin texture, uneven skin tone and wrinkles WILL return. Just as quickly as you noticed the skin improving, skin will return to its pre- treatment condition once product use is discontinued. ![]() |
