Skin care with MBR

MBR is skin care made in Germany

MBR has been based out of the state-recognised therapeutic spa town of Bad Schlema since 2000. With its tradition-rich history, the state of Saxony understands perfectly how to „combine the past with the future“.

Cosmetics from MBR are associated with innovation as well as with tradition, effectiveness and tolerance, functionality, reliability and long-lasting effects.

MBR is unique, essential, long-term and individual.

The global active principle of all MBR products produces a multitude of epidermal, dermal and cosmetic effects, which only together make the perfection of this exceptional brand.

It is part of MBR‘s philosophy only to use the best ingredients in the highest possible concentration while ensuring optimum skin compatibility under strict adherence to these guidelines.

MBR is the result of intensive research by leading dermatologists and aesthetics physicians.

Part of the MBR philosophy is to use only the best ingredients in the highest possible concentrations without sacrificing skin tolerance, all strictly according to the most recent pharmaceutical directives and regulations. MBR is setting new standards in this area.

MBR products have always been developed in collaboration with recognised experts in the fields of:

• plastic surgery and dermatology
• biochemistry
• toxicology and microbiology and
• formulation technology

The focus on research and development has necessarily resulted in a product selection that is directed toward core solutions to the problems. Consideration of the cost of the formulas essentially plays no role during development. The members of the MBR development team are completely free to decide on any active ingredient combinations and formula variants.

As a result, they sometimes pursue flagrantly expensive yet highly synergetic principles that are quite unique throughout the world in this way. The goal is always to achieve „the best possible“ results.

In addition, highly efficient treatment methods that address the individual needs of the customer are also taught in special training courses (training as a skin care specialist).

MBR places top priority on reliability in terms of the results strived for. This applies to the degree of penetration, the concentration and the length of time of activity of the molecules, which all play a decisive role. To get to the heart of this, MBR uses a simple yet effective principle for combining all effects.

The sun represents vitality and activity. It has a considerable influence on our well-being and even on our mood. But excessive exposure to the sun can cause lasting, irreparable damage to the skin.

Dermatologists require sun exposure to be sensibly addressed as well as effective products that guarantee safety and multi-active protection, even for everyday use. MBR has taken this requirement into account and developed a high-tech sunscreen product.

sun protection products featuring the innovative MBR SUN GUIDE SYSTEM provides appropriate protection for all skin types based on the latest findings in medicine and biotechnology.

Sunlight is made up of heat rays, light rays and UV rays.

Heat rays (infrared) penetrate the deepest into an organism and are perceived as heat. This promotes circulation.
Light rays (visible rays which we perceive as “sunlight”) enable us to see.
UV rays (short wave light with the highest level of energy) are invisible and are responsible for change processes, e.g. tanning and burning of the skin.

We make a distinction between:

Long wave UVA rays (320 – 400nm) = immediate tanning of the skin
These are responsible for long-term damage to the skin, making it inelastic, reducing its ability to bind moisture and also causing premature aging of the skin with the formation of wrinkles. They penetrate into the connective tissues where they weaken the elastic and collagen fibers. Excessive exposure to sunlight is the most common cause of skin cancer.

Short wave UVB rays (285 – 320nm) = long lasting pigmentation
Excessive exposure to these rays can cause immediate damage to the skin, the first sign of damage being excessive sunburn. They also damage the structure of skin cells.

UVC rays (200 – 285nm)
are of no significance as far as sunbathing is concerned. Because they are absorbed outside the atmosphere, they do not affect people through natural sunlight.

An individual’s skin color is a result of a combination of factors: skin circulation, the color of the corneal layer and the amount of pigment in the skin. The most important of these is the pigment melanin, which can range in color from buff to black. The pigment melanin is formed by special pigment cells called melanocytes. These cells are found in the lowest basal layer alongside the epidermis cells.
The pigment cells produce melanin, some of which is delivered to other cells in the form of tiny grains. It is only through the process of cell regeneration in the basal layer that the grains of melanin are carried by neighboring cells and move up in the skin. Through the normal process of regeneration of the epidermis, the grains of melanin reach the surface corneal layer, where they are shed with other horny skin cells.

How is melanin formed in cells?
The colorless precursor of melanin is the amino acid tyrosine. Following a series of changes, catalyzed by the cupreous skin enzyme tyrosinase and oxygen, this amino acid becomes melanin. However, this change is only activated and carried out by exposure to sunlight. Although pigment production does not depend on the number of pigment cells, it does however depend on the rate at which the pigment cells metabolize. Individuals with fair and dark skin do not differ in the number of pigment-forming cells they have; there is however a large difference in the rate of metabolism and activity of pigment cells.

In order to enjoy the sun undisturbed, you should always remember that …

… a child’s skin is ten times thinner than an adult’s skin.
Babies and small children may not be exposed directly to the sun’s radiation. They must be dressed in suitable clothing and protected with a high sun protection factor (min. SPF 25).

… the sun’s rays are up to 60% stronger near the equator.
UV rays increase by 20% for every 1000m above sea level. water, ice, snow, light sand and rocks reflect rays and increase the effect of UV rays by up to 80%. high fog, which is typical in mountains, intensifies UV rays by up to 60%.

… the sun’s rays are at their strongest during the middle.
even if it is overcast, up to 40% of UV rays still get through. Avoid intense afternoon sun. Do not sit out too long in the sun and always choose a sunscreen appropriate for your skin type and for the region where you will be vacationing. Always apply cream before sun exposure. Generously apply sunscreen and wait at least 20 minutes before sunbathing. Repeat application regularly, especially after swimming, perspiring, and drying off. Give your skin time to get used to the sun, use a higher sun protection factor during the first days of your vacation.

… men have to protect themselves just as much as women. Even though men naturally have thicker, more resistant skin.

Sunscreens do not offer 100% protection from the risks of excessive sun exposure. Dermatologists require sun exposure to be sensibly addressed.

Cosmetics and medicine have much in common. Both serve to preserve health, energy and beauty.

But sometimes the interactions between the ageing process, genetics and life habits create an increasingly wide gap between one’s external appearance and inner sense of self. Cosmetic products improve one’s appearance and increase self-confidence. But where the possibilities of cosmetics end, the intervention of medicine is required.

In our efforts to achieve the greatest possible perfection, we have developed synergies that mesh perfectly with each other.

Through comprehensive research and years of experience, MBR has built up a competence network that combines the knowledge of aesthetic physicians, dermatologists and cosmeticians in a unique way.
