DMAE

Skin Tightening DMAE

EWG Rating

Scientific Name: {Dimethylaminoethanol}
Common Name: {DMAE, Di-methyl MEA}

DMAE is the more common name for dimethylaminoethanol. When taken as a supplement, the body's circulation improves. When applied topically as a cosmetic ingredient, it firms and enhanced your complexion. Naturally found worldwide, DMAE is synthesized from fruit.

It is very beneficial for your complexion, even visibly improving the signs of aging.

How Does It Work?

DMAE has a tiny molecule size. As a result, it penetrates the skin easily, soaking into the lower layers of tissue quickly, tightening, and plumping. Plus, it has a cumulative effect.

Each application reveals less wrinkled, softer, smoother skin.

DMAE works by signaling the skin's acetylcholine response. This reaction affects the face's muscles, allowing them to relax and contract, creating a firmer, smoother skin surface.

The muscles become stronger after continuous applications. In addition, it puts the jowls back in their original, youthful-looking position instead of allowing them to sag.

Many cosmetic companies use DMAE because it is fast-acting, and the effect is stacked, enabling women to create a more youthful look.

Firmer Jawline for Mature Skin

DMAE also strengthens the skin from within, allowing the cells to retain moisture and live longer, healthier lives. Overall, the face looks younger for a more significant period.

Some recent studies suggest that DMAE may be detrimental because it dries out the skin. However, though most women find some drying and tightening after using the product, introducing a product that hydrates them into your skincare routine can reduce the tight, dry feeling.

The amount of DMAE in cosmetics is considered non-toxic and non-dangerous. However, those with sensitive skin should consult their dermatologist. For example, those sensitive to products with tightening effects may need to forgo this ingredient.

If you have concerns about how a product containing DMAE will affect your skin, try a product sample first.

DMAE not only diminishes the signs of aging, it nourishes the skin, allowing it to look brighter throughout the day.

For women with sagging skin, especially on the cheeks and under the chin, a DMAE solution can rapidly restore tighter, more youthful-looking skin.
