Silver - The All Natural Skin and Healthcare Remedy

By: nimmaco

Silver is beautiful – but also an incredible germ killer – which actually has huge health advantages for all of us! (... especially in times of CoronaVirus COVID-19) 

The shiny white metal is a natural antibiotic, antiseptic and antimicrobial. That means it kills bacteria and micro-organisms. People have recognised this benefit since ancient times. Wealthy Romans ate using knives, forks and spoons made of silver. They understood that silver helped keep spoiled food from making them sick. In fact, historians think that is how we came to call eating utensils “silverware” and gave rise to the term “born with a silver spoon in your mouth”.   Sailors also used to drop silver coins into barrels of water and milk on long journeys to keep such perishable items fresher for longer.  Silver also remains a mainstay of modern medicine and is added to bandages, clinical surfaces and medical devices due to its optimum antibiotic properties.

Overall, silver is an effective antibiotic, anti-fungal and antiviral and works on a wide variety of organisms including fungi, viruses, and many bacteria as well as some parasites. ¹

Our followers at Sugaring Cane UK & Ireland will already know the benefits of our Silver Spray and Silver Lotion as part of the recommended cycle of perfect pre-care and after-care products for soothing and calming the skin during hair removal.  Silver also has many additional skin and healthcare uses - and can be particularly effective as part of routine healthcare and hygiene, especially in light of current global health concerns! 

With the present health risks associated with the outbreak of the CoronaVirus and the background level of other infections, the most significant means of transmission is usually via droplets when a person coughs or sneezes and then through touching infected hands to the mouth, nose or eyes.  It is estimated that we all touch our faces unconsciously, on average, more than 20 times an hour and hand and skin hygiene is the first and most important line of defence for risk prevention. ² 

SO, HOW DO SILVER PRODUCTS CONTRIBUTE TO OPTIMUM SKIN CONDITIONING AND WHY ARE THEY ALSO RECOMMENDED TO PROMOTE GOOD OVERALL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING?   

Benefits and Advantages of SILVER:

It has been shown that the use of micro-silver is ideal for cosmetic and topical applications.  It is the tiny, submicroscopic silver ions (i.e., positively charged atoms or molecules of silver) – that give ALL forms of silver their infection-fighting properties. 

Micro-silver is not absorbed by the skin but forms a therapeutic protective barrier so that bacterial, fungal and viral germs are rendered harmless, and the overall effect is anti-inflammatory and soothing for skin conditions and also for psoriasis, eczema and acne. ³

Micro-silver acts against bacteria to help calm hypersensitive, irritated, and inflamed skin in addition to supporting the skin’s natural healing process. The particles in micro-silver continuously release positively-charged ions (Ag⁺), which disrupt harmful bacteria in a variety of ways. The ions destabilise the bacterial structure, break down cell membranes, cut off enzymatic nutrients, and rigorously prevent cell division so that the germs can no longer proliferate. When used regularly, micro-silver not only strengthens the skin’s ability to resist the growth of bad bacteria, but it also helps to support the regeneration of skin. Your skin stays cleaner and healthier, naturally.

(Silver is also known as the chemical element Ag from the Latin “argentum” and the silver ions are shown as Ag⁺  - these target and disrupt the bacteria!)

 

SILVER – BEST FOR YOU & YOUR SKIN!

Silver is incredibly effective and has a number of key health benefits for the skin and for general well-being. It is a multi-functional ingredient and can be used for any skin type, tone, and condition – especially for those who are prone to acne or have hypersensitive and eczema-prone complexions.
