2, 1987 - North Shore News 18 - Sunday, August Bargains to border duty WHILE GENERALLY accepted as the ideal purchas- ing outlet for alcohol and tobacco products, British Columbia's duty free outlets also offer a wide range of selection in a vast array of consumer products. Often, the three Lower Mainland duty free stores on the Canadian side of the Canada/U.S. border crossing will carry internationally renowned products long before they reach the retail outlets. Such is the case with Lancome’s new skin care product, Niosome. The main ingredient in’ this major scientific discovery: niosomes. Niosomes are microscopic lipidic spheres with a layered structure identical to the skin's own in- tercellular organization. They act with pinpoint accu- racy, reconstituting the epidermis in its innermost structure. So revolutionary is the product, it has been awarded nine international patents and a number of awards. ALDERGROVE DUTY FREE Sun ages the skin RECENT ADVANCES in science conclude that by using good, moisturizing skin care techniques, the skin’s elasticity, tone and tex- ture can be improved. Gary Dugan, director of skin care research and development for Avon Products, Inc., says, ‘‘The more we learn about the skin, the more scientific and the more bio- logical our approach to skin care becomes.” According to Dugan, the damaging effect of the sun, in combination with the normal aging Process, is the number one cause of signs cf premature aging. As the years go by, cellular me- tabolism slows and the = skin undergoes a number of physiological changes. For example, the number of days required for cells to renew themselves increases from about 20 to 28 as we go from teens to matu- rity.
