Expression lines
Most women agree, expression lines are one of our most frustrating skin ageing concerns. They most commonly appear around the eye’s, mouth and forehead. Expression lines are caused when facial muscles contract, causing ‘creases’ in the skin that eventually lead to ugly expression lines.
Botox® works by relaxing the offending muscles which significantly minimises expression lines, however, it requires injections of a Botulinum Toxin into the face.
Okuru: A Natural Solution for Expression Lines
In Western Africa grows a plant the locals call Okuru. The locals have been using the plant for centuries for its high nutritional food value and skin benefits. French scientists have recently made a breakthrough discovery. They found that seeds of the Okuru plant contain a combination of peptides that minimise expression lines in a similar way to Botox®, but are all natural and can be applied topically without the need for invasive injections!
