As we embrace Fall and Traditional Chinese Medicine’s (TCM’s) Metal season (August 7 to October 20)—aging skin faces more challenges than ever. PHYTO5’s all Swiss-made Metal line, designed for slightly older age skin care, oxygenates, mineralizes, brightens, decongests puffiness, eliminates impurities, and plumps fine lines. It’s the perfect line to balance this skin condition. It can make skin glow this season and all year long if this is your prevailing skin condition.
Skin aging factors like mineral deficiency leave skin unable to perfectly absorb moisture causing more dryness and even fragility.
Congestion increases in slightly more mature skin and dulls skin’s glow.
Puffiness emerges from fluid buildup.
Congestion results from continuing collagen loss and impurities that accumulate as barriers weaken.
Skin Aging Factors: Why Minerals Fade
Aging disrupts all important mineral absorption.
Slower metabolism, thinner gut linings, and dietary gaps reduce zinc, magnesium, and selenium levels.
Kidneys excrete more as we age, and less sun exposure limits our intake of vitamin D which is crucial for mineral absorption.
These skin aging factors lead to dry, fragile skin. The skin barrier weakens allowing impurities to buildup, dulling the complexion.
Congestion, Dullness, and Oxygen Needs
Skin aging facts reveal slower cell turnover which accumulates dead cells and oil in pores.
Increasing collagen and elastin loss thins skin and reduces blood flow carrying oxygen to the skin and this causes dullness. Impurities from trapped debris worsen dullness. And stress to skin caused by environmental insults clogs pores even more.
But if you can oxygenate skin you can boost regeneration, clearing congestion to make skin glow.
That’s what we formulated PHYTO5’s Metal line to do.
Why Puffiness and Fine Lines Appear
Puffiness stems from fluid retention and fragile vessels, triggering inflammation.
Fine lines form from collagen loss, dehydration, and fat reduction which thins skin structure.
UV damage and slow cell division deepen both puffiness and fine lines.
Finally, impurities inflame the skin, exacerbating lines and puffiness.
Metal Line: Restore Skin and Wellness
PHYTO5’s quantum energetic Metal line fights Fall dryness and the dryness associated with skin aging factors.
The Metal line oxygenates, mineralizes, brightens, decongests puffiness, eliminates impurities, and plumps lines for balanced skin.
“Obsessed with PHYTO5 products since 1995. They keep my skin young and healthy. I just love the way they smell and make me just feel good everyday. I’m totally addicted to PHYTO5!! I’m 52. Don’t I look great ?”
Spotlight: Metal Phyt’Ether Serum
This essential oil-rich serum, like a mineral and oxygen infusion, contains rice bran oil (rice bran oil firms lines with anti-age alpha lipoic acid [ALA], ferulic acid), grapeseed oil (anti-free radical), jojoba/avocado oils (nourishing), and eucalyptus, lemon, niaouli, thyme essential oils synergistically blend in a vital energy perfect complement.
While each essential oil in all our 5-Element Lines serve a distinct purpose, PHYTO5 excels in combining top-quality essential oils according to TCM principles to create truly potent synergistic effects.
Metal Phyt’Ether eliminates impurities, mineralizes, decongests, and plumps fine lines for a radiant age skin care boost.
Pair this serum with Crème Cérésal Métal Day Cream. This moisturizer, with rice bran oil (brightening, impurity removing, anti-age), rice and rosemary extracts (antioxidation), ylang ylang/eucalyptus essential oils (improving vital energy circulation), and sunflower oil, protects against dryness, and oxygenates, mineralizes, and brightens to make skin glow.
Add Selextrême Métal natural exfoliant for face and body. It’s composed of micronized mountain salt harvested from deep within the Swiss Alps and is infused with premium grade essential oils. Selextreme can be used in shower or bath to regenerate the skin and spirit. It mineralizes, refreshes and invigorates.
Notice a remarkable clean and sparkling feel after using.
We infuse this micronized Alpine salt with thyme essential oil (very age-defying), and eucalyptus, lemon, and niaouli essential oils to eliminate impurities, oxygenate, mineralize, and brighten dull skin.
Your Make Skin Glow Routine:
Gently exfoliate face and body with Metal Selextrême weekly to eliminate impurities.
On face, gently rub two or so drops in the palms of your hands then press the serum lightly all over a cleansed face.
Next, apply a dime sized amount of Metal Day Cream (less is more with PHYTO5) to protect skin from dryness and smooth the appearance of fine lines.
Result: With continued use over just a few weeks, decongested, brighter skin with less visible fine lines.
