NATURAL SCIENCE FOR YOUR SKIN

The renu range has been
created from over thirty years’
experience of blending high
quality, natural ingredients with
the latest advances in skincare
technology.

An advanced approach
to anti-ageing
The renu range has been specially designed
to combat the three main types of ageing
Natural, genetic chrono-ageing
Characterised by wrinkling, loss of firmness and
radiance.
Photo-ageing, due to UV damage
In particular UVA, which causes age spots and a
premature decrease in elasticity.
Hormonal ageing
Changes in the hormonal balance lead to
undesirable skin changes affecting the natural
moisture-retaining ability and elasticity of the skin.

The renu range by MONU Skincare

- addresses these three major concerns
with products that perform.
- combines scientific innovation with
proven, potent natural actives.

renu and restore
Skin lipids are very important for
maintaining the skin’s barrier
function. When this is weakened it
leads to dryness and the skin
loses the ability to moisturise itself.
Lipids are the building blocks of
skin cells and help to retain
moisture. When the lipid level
reduces, the cell does not retain
enough moisture so flattens and
dies. Lipids are our skin survival
kit.
We have specially selected three
plants; rosehip, blackcurrant and
evening primrose. Their seeds are
processed to extract oil which is
particularly high in oleic, linoleic
and linolenic essential fatty acids.
Essential fatty acids are part of the
lipid layer and help maintain the
suppleness and elasticity of the
skin. These ingredients will help
prevent skin dryness, restore
optimum moisture balance and
help maintain the skin’s barrier
function.
Variations in the hormonal
balance lead to undesirable skin
changes. Cell division is delayed
and collagen formation reduced
which affects the natural moisture-
retaining ability and elasticity of
the skin. This in turn leads to
wrinkling.
Wild yam and soya have long
been used in a nutritional context
for soothing the hormonal
fluctuations that women
experience. Soya is known to
stimulate the production of vital
lipids, Wild yam stimulates
collagen and elastin production.
The combination of these two
plant extracts help to improve the
elasticity and moisture content of
the skin.

renu and restructure

Wrinkles can take many forms and result from a number of causes.
Surface lines are fine lines that are not deep lying but often numerous.
Facial muscles are
They give the skin a “creased” look. They are mainly the result of skin

contraction, helping to relax fine expression lines with a safe, non-invasive

 renu and revive
When skin matures the rate of cell renewal
slows, the stratum corneum thickens and
accumulates dead cells and cell debris.
This causes a lack of radiance, dullness
and a sallow complexion. We have used
a combination of ingredients to stimulate
cell regeneration and revive the
complexion. Papaya extract, delivered in
glycospheres which enhance the
penetration and affinity with the skin,
gently digests dead skin cells. Lactic acid
is the mildest and most effective AHA
available. Vitamin C is reputed to help
minimise hyperpigmentation (age spots)
and even out skin tone.

When skin matures the rate of

cell renewal slows
renu and protect
The skin’s primary function is to defend and protect. The stratum corneum acts as a
barrier to hostile intruders such as free radicals. Free radicals are single atoms
which provoke oxidation - it is a chain reaction that can affect the performance of
the skin’s vital functions. Free radicals are generated mainly by atmospheric
pollutants and unfiltered UV, but the skin also generates its own free radicals by any
toxic or inflammatory reaction or mechanical stress. We have selected three key
ingredients to help your skin protect itself; Vitamin C is an excellent antioxidant and
works together with grape seed extract which is rich in polyphenols. From a tropical
habitat, the Cassia Alata plant has developed a powerful defence mechanism. It is
rich in flavonoids; particularly K30S Kaempferol. This compound helps to protect
nuclear and mitochondrial DNA from degradation. It supports the cell’s natural
repair system by acting as a powerful antioxidant, combating the harmful effects of
the sun.

RENU Professional Masks
Lifting Algae Mask
Empty the 46g sachet into a bowl and add 150ml of
warm water. Mix well with a spatula – the mask should
be a uniform paste.
Working quickly, apply the mask to the face using a
spatula. With upward motions, start with the neck area
and move towards the hairline. Leave the eye and lip
areas free. Create thick edges so that the mask can be
easily peeled away.
The mask will start to take on a rubbery consistency and
should be left on the skin for approximately 10 minutes.
Gently slide your fingers underneath the outer edges of
the mask and roll it away from the neck and face in one
piece.
Remove any residue with damp cotton wool and
massage in Soft Touch Toner.

Nutritious Oat Mask
Re-apply a small amount of Nourishing

Empty the 200g of Nutritious Oat Mask
into a bowl and add 300ml of water.
The temperature of the water depends
on the skin type of the client – as
discussed on the renu training day.
Mix quickly but gently to a smooth paste
with a spoon or spatula. Do not over-
mix or the mask will become dough-like.
On a flat surface, prepare two 30cm
square pieces of gauze – one for the
lower part of the face from neck to
mouth and the other for the upper part
of the face from nose to forehead.
Keeping the gauzes on the flat surface,
smooth ⅔ of the prepared mask onto
the bottom half of one piece. Fold over
to make a poultice. Place the warm
poultice onto the lower half of the
client’s face – covering the area from
neck to upper lip.
Repeat this procedure with the other
piece of gauze and the remaining ⅓ of
the mask and apply to the upper part of
the face – from tip of nose to hairline.
Leave in place for 10 minutes.
