Some of us are just plain lucky to be blessed with clear skin, healthy nails ,and beautiful hair. But in reality, most of us don’t and have to work at it a bit. Poor skin for instance is usually due to allergies, environmental irritants, genetic make -up, and certain diseases, and immune system problems.
Ingredients in The Looker have been formulated to give the body help and support, reduce some of the irritants that may cause skin issues. The old adage “beauty from within” is so true. What happens on the outside is usually the results of what is going on in the inside.
The skin is a sensitive indicator of nutritional deficiencies. The most effective way to improve the condition of the skin is to supply it with essential nutrients, both externally and-importantly-internally through a well-balanced diet. Reducing inflammatory reactions is critical as inflammation is a big factor in controlling healthy skin.
Plant Sterols found in The Looker promotes youthful skin due to the very small molecule structure that deeply penetrates skin, effectively treating dry and irritated skin. Sterols help reduce trans-epidermal water loss, locking in important moisture.
Plant sterols help promote healthy hair and have also been shown to demonstrate pharmacological activities in hair growth pathways, which researchers have identified as regulators of hair growth and density. By reducing the production of the enzyme 5-alpha reductase the body will reduce the amount of DHT which is the primary cause of hair loss in men and women. People will see benefits within 1-6 months of use, with 6months showing the most significant change.

The looker formula also contains Grapeseed Extract which has many benefits to the skin. This amazing nutrient increases cell turnover and collagen synthesis which helps skin stay elastic and healthy. It is well studied for its ability to speed up wound recovery. Researchers saw increased levels of tenascin, a protein that helps build connective tissue. Much faster. Tenascin is a marker of skin wound healing. Skin irritation and wounds healed much faster when treated with GSE.

Vitamin E the fat-soluble antioxidant is essential for the maintenance of healthy skin. It plays important roles in photoprotection, preventing UV-induced free radical damage to skin. Encouraging anti-inflammatory reactions helps keep the skin healthier.
Vitamin E shown to improve moisture in the nail bed as well as surrounding skin which helps rejuvenate dry cuticles.

The mineral Selenium is also important for skin function, having a protective effect and ability to scavenge free radicals (1).
Selenim: By stimulating the activity of selenium-dependent antioxidant enzymes, such as glutathione peroxidase and thioredoxin reductase, selenium protects the skin against the oxidative stress induced by UV radiation [2]. Zhu et al. draw attention to the role of selenium in protecting skin cells against the ageing induced by UVB radiation [3]. This was confirmed in a study by Jobeili et al., which showed that selenium delays skin ageing by protecting keratinocyte stem cells (major cell type of the epidermal).
