Replenish Deep Hydration Mask: Formulator Notes on 7 Day Glow's newest launch.

Today we launched our newest product, REPLENISH Deep Hydration Mask. This super-hydrating mask is packed with 53 ingredients to naturally draw and hold moisture to your skin while nourishing, resulting in a blend that works wonders to recharge and replenish lost moisture, ensuring your skin feels quenched and rejuvenated.

Dry air can equal dry skin, making it difficult to maintain a glowing complexion. While 7 Day Glow's daily moisturizers are great for daily use, some of us need more to maintain our skin's hydration stores.

REPLENISH Deep Hydration Mask addresses this issue with an array of super-hydrating, skin building and nourishing ingredients. 

We pulled out all the stops in formulating REPLENISH. We wanted a mask that was less like a mask and more like a super-rich balm but without the greasiness commonly found in balms. We also wanted to incorporate unique botanicals that could really get the job done without harsh chemicals. We then piled on a long list of skin supporting botanical extracts from our own 7 Day Glow farm to create a unique product that deserves it's place in 7 Day Glow's line-up of skincare superstars.

Ingredient Highlights:

Chia Seed Water - Loaded with Omega fatty acids, Chia Seed infused water helps fight free radical damage and support the skin barrier.

Sea Kelp Bioferment - To help skin retain moisture and combat dehydration, reinforcing the skin mantle while it's rich nutrients feed and protect the skin. A natural film former, Sea Kelp Bioferment acts as an excellent oil-free moisturizer. Our Sea Kelp comes from the Atlantic Coast of North America. 

Snow Mushroom Extract - Helps bind moisture to the skin's surface. 400x as moisturizing as Sodium Hyaluronate (a form of Hyaluronic Acid), Snow Mushroom is great for moisturizing extremely dry skin. An added bonus - Snow Mushroom Complex helps reduce the itchiness often associated with dry skin.

Wheat Amino Acid Blend - A gluten free ingredient, Wheat Amino Acids are gluten-free per FDA guidelines.  (When tested, the blend used in REPLENISH contained <20 ppm of gluten via an ELISA assay. ) This blend delivers immediate and intense long-term moisturization, leaving skin feeling instantly smoother and better moisturized.

Oat Emollient, Hydrolyzed Oats, and Milky Oats Extract - A triple combination of oat proteins and elements. 

     Hydrolyzed Oats: Studies have shown that hydrolyzed oats retain significantly more moisture at all humidity levels, gaining up to 50% more moisture at relative low humidity when added moisture is most needed.

     Oat Emollient: Oat Emollient is a hypoallergenic lipid complex that comes from pressed oat kernels. Oat Emollient is non-comedogenic, meaning it sinks in without causing blackheads or skin lesions. This ingredient was selected because it's high ceramide content makes it an excellent ingredient for reducing water loss. 

      Milky Oats: Naturally soothes and moisturizes dry and irritated skin. It also improves skin texture and reduces inflammation.

Hyaluronic Acid: Hyaluronic Acids are naturally occurring sugar molecules. There are multiple types of Hyaluronic Acid embedded into the REPLENISH formulation to create a network for greatest results. Hyaluronic Acid is a natural humectant. It attracts and holds water, preventing dryness and making your skin look plumper and dewier. It also promotes collagen production for supple, more youthful looking skin.

With 53 unique ingredients, we don't have room here to extoll the virtues of every ingredient in this blend. When selecting ingredients for REPLENISH I focused on ingredients that supported hydration, moisturization, soothing and reducing irritation caused by dry skin, and that helped to build the skin mantle as well as ingredients for anti-aging. 

The best way to use REPLENISH is to first exfoliate your skin using either BOOST Resurfacing Treatment and/or IGNITE Exfoliating Cleanser. Then apply your REPLENISH Mask to clean dry skin. Wait 20 minutes or more (I love to leave this mask on overnight). Remove by massaging with wet fingertips to dissolve the mask, then follow with cleanser. I absolutely love using CLARIFY Oil-Based Cleanser to remove this mask!

Finish with a mist of HYDRATE Probiotic Hydration Mist then follow with your serums, oils, and daily moisturizers. HYDRATE acts as an elevator to carry all the goodies found in your products more deeply into the layers of your skin.

To start, try using REPLENISH once or twice a week until your skin becomes used to the change in your regimen. You can choose to use REPLENISH one to three times per week year-round once you've successfully incorporated it into your skincare routine.
