May 2013) One Per Cent: Grow your own living lights The New Scientist, Issue 2915, Retrieved 7 May 2013 Introducing BioLumin-C Gel Moisturizer , a weightless, Vitamin C rich gel moisturiser that delivers immediate brightening results on the skin. We caught up with Dermalogica’s Education Manager Victoria Evans to find out more. Hydrate brighter! A compromised barrier causes moisture to escape and results in dryness and dehydration. This may be a genetic issue for you or caused by incorrect product use such as drying cleansers, stripping toners or inadequate moisturiser. Our skin also becomes compromised from weather and climate changes plus internal health and with the natural ageing process.

But Dermalogica really pulls out all the stops when it comes to this formula. They continue to showcase vitamin C through an ultra-stable complex that offers improved potency and enhanced penetration, thanks to new technology, while the formula encourages the recycling and reactivation of vitamin C for lasting brightness and luminosity. With the launch of BioLumin-C Gel Moisturizer we have taken our ultra-stable Vitamin C complex to the next level by enhancing it with biotechnology. This technology recycles or reactivates the Vitamin C, increasing its potency and further enhances its penetration into the skin! This delivers brighter skin instantly and over time. Instantly brighter and hydrated skin BioLumin-C Gel Moisturizer is a daily use moisturiser that provides weightless hydration and gives skin a radiance boost. Proven to instantly brighten and hydrate skin better than leading competitors!

S2CID 216559981. Before the development of the safety lamp for use in coal mines, dried fish skins were used in Britain and Europe as a weak source of light. [3] This experimental form of illumination avoided the necessity of using candles which risked sparking explosions of firedamp. [4] Another safe source of illumination in mines was bottles containing fireflies. [5] In 1920, the American zoologist E. Newton Harvey published a monograph, The Nature of Animal Light, summarizing early work on bioluminescence. Harvey notes that Aristotle mentions light produced by dead fish and flesh, and that both Aristotle and Pliny the Elder (in his Natural History) mention light from damp wood. He also records that Robert Boyle experimented on these light sources, and showed that both they and the glowworm require air for light to be produced. Harvey notes that in 1753, J. Baker identified the flagellate Noctiluca "as a luminous animal" "just visible to the naked eye", [6] and in 1854 Johann Florian Heller (1813–1871) identified strands ( hyphae) of fungi as the source of light in dead wood. [7] While popular at first, Seliger's theory has been challenged, particularly on the biochemical and genetic evidence that Rees examines. What remains clear, however, is that bioluminescence has evolved independently at least 40 times. [26] Bioluminescence in fish began at least by the Cretaceous period. About 1,500 fish species are known to be bioluminescent; the capability evolved independently at least 27 times. Of these, 17 involved the taking up of bioluminous bacteria from the surrounding water while in the others, the intrinsic light evolved through chemical synthesis. These fish have become surprisingly diverse in the deep ocean and control their light with the help of their nervous system, using it not just to lure prey or hide from predators, but also for communication. [27] [28] Free radical damage or oxidative stress causes skin cell damage and leads to moisture loss, irritation, and pigmentation. Free radicals are all around us and generated by UV light and pollution as well as internal stress in the body. Having damaged and/or unevenly pigmented skin leads to overall dullness.

And let’s not forget that this gel moisturiser drenches your skin in a wave of hydration. It features no less than five types of hyaluronic acid of differing molecular weights to hydrate both the skin’s surface layer and deeper down in the skin, resulting in a plump, smooth and quenched complexion. To support this process, added saccharides reinforce hydration while vegan-friendly, sugar cane-derived squalane restores the skin’s barrier function.

The uses of bioluminescence by animals include counterillumination camouflage, mimicry of other animals, for example to lure prey, and signaling to other individuals of the same species, such as to attract mates. In the laboratory, luciferase-based systems are used in genetic engineering and biomedical research. Researchers are also investigating the possibility of using bioluminescent systems for street and decorative lighting, and a bioluminescent plant has been created. [2] History [ edit ] Bioluminescence attracted the attention of the United States Navy in the Cold War, since submarines in some waters can create a bright enough wake to be detected; a German submarine was sunk in the First World War, having been detected in this way. The navy was interested in predicting when such detection would be possible, and hence guiding their own submarines to avoid detection.

While sailing in these latitudes on one very dark night, the sea presented a wonderful and most beautiful spectacle. There was a fresh breeze, and every part of the surface, which during the day is seen as foam, now glowed with a pale light. The vessel drove before her bows two billows of liquid phosphorus, and in her wake she was followed by a milky train. As far as the eye reached, the crest of every wave was bright, and the sky above the horizon, from the reflected glare of these livid flames, was not so utterly obscure, as over the rest of the heavens.

A natural fragrance, limonene also has strong antioxidant benefits - stopping free radicals - and has also been shown to calm skin. Antioxidant that works to protect your skin from free radicals. The vitamin acts as a skin defender - protecting you from the cause of wrinkles. A brilliant form of vitamin C useful for building collagen, defending the skin against free-radicals, healing inflammation, reducing the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles, and resolving hyperpigmentation. As this is a new generation derivative of Vitamin C, it’s chosen by many for having superior stability and effectiveness. It’s particularly good at reducing melanin production which is what gives age spots and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. If that is your concern, this product is certainly worth a try.
