Get your even skin tone back-no fuss-TheraVine™ MelanoVine™ anti-pigmentation range

TheraVine™, the manufacturer of scientifically advanced skincare products and the leader in topical
antioxidant technologies, announces the launch of the revolutionary MelanoVine™ range along with
two complimenting treatment procedures.

Men and women from different age groups, are affected by dark spots or patches which can occur on
the face, neck, décolleté or hands. This results due to an increase in melanin production which is
caused by a variety of factors of which the number one cause is excessive sun exposure.
When treating a skin condition like hyperpigmentation, it becomes vitally important to work with a
professional skin care range in conjunction with a specialist who will analyse your skin, help plan your
skin improvement treatment schedule and show you how to properly care for your skin’s needs at
home.

The MelanoVine™ range addresses hyperpigmentation by making use of 2 cutting edge melanosome
inhibiting peptides, a combination of 5 active ingredients comprised of Advanced Hydrating Systems
and Anti-Oxidant Phyto-Chemistry as well as the nano-encapsulation technology of a revolutionary
bilayer liposome leaving the complexion brighter, younger and more uniform.

Combining advanced technology with the latest skin brightening research advances delivered a unique facial treatment using specialised skin care techniques to provide effective and visible brightening results.

Ideal for a dull, devitalised skin with discolouration concerns, the MelanoVine™ Pro-Brilliance
Brightening Facial is specifically aimed at diminishing uneven skin tone while also minimizing the
appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Targeting hyperpigmentation at various levels with scientifically
advanced actives and natural lightening plant extracts, this treatment will aid in a rehydrated
complexion, leaving your skin looking luminous and feeling radiant.

A glycolic acid preparation facilitates deep exfoliation of the stratum corneum cells which allow for
more effective penetration of the Solution+ Concentrate amongst other active ingredients. This
intensive treatment complex leaves the skin looking brightened and more radiant. Specially formulated for skin struggling with brown spots, uneven skin tone and a dull complexion, this scientifically formulated serum contains a synergistic blend of bilayer liposomal technology and skin rejuvenating peptides to refine skin texture, lighten existing melanin and prevent photo-ageing.The use of an energising vitamin enriched mask to perform the unique TheraVine™ pressure point massage and lymphatic drainage massage technique will further enhance the stimulation of the skin prior to the application of the revolutionary Pro-Brilliance Illuminating Mask.

The key active compound of this mask is Biowhite™, a plant complex made of active plant extracts of
mulberry and grape extract amongst others. Known for its ability to inhibit the activity of enzymes
involved in the formation of pigment, this powerful specialised active skin rejuvenation treatment has a
unique skin brightening activity on both normal and hyperpigmented skin.

Advanced Skin Care: Oils, Balms and Serums

The use of oils, balms and serums in skin care are an excellent way to boost the skin with specific ingredients to get a quicker and better result for a particular skin concern. 

Most oil treatment products contain essential oils and/or plant based extracts. These blends are usually highly effective skin conditioners, enhancing the effectiveness of the emulsions that they are applied with.

Depending on the skin care range that you use, it can be used underneath, on top of or mixed in with the moisturizer or treatment cream that you use daily.

How to apply oils:

Pour 2-3 drops of oil into the palm of your hand, cover it with your other hand to warm it up. Lightly press you hand over you cheeks, forehead and neck until all the oil has been used. You can apply this in the morning and/or at night.

Serums can come in a gel or cream base, depending on the skin type or concern that it was formulated for.  Serums contain high percentages of a specific ingredient (hyaluronic acid for an intensive hydrating serum) to assist the treatment cream to enhance the effect on the skin. Serums are usually used underneath the appropriate moisturizers or treatment creams.

How to apply serums:

Apply  2-3 pumps  into the palm of your hand, cover it with your other hand to warm it up. Gently press and hold for 2-3 seconds on your cheeks, forehead and chin. Use your fingers and tap lightly over your whole face. If there is still some serum left on your hands, press lightly as before.

Balms are thicker formulations that normally form a substantive film on the surface of the skin. It  can be used to protect against the elements, to prevent moisture loss on the skin, to restore the skin’s natural acid mantle  and to help balance the skin natural oil/water content in dehydrated, compromised  skin. These products should be used over the appropriate day and/or night treatment creams.

How to apply balms:

Use a spatula-tip amount and spread between the palms and press on the skin OVER the moisturizer/treatment cream.
