Skincare Products You need for glowing skin.

Skincare Products You need for glowing skin.

  In every skincare regime I advise, the three non-negotiable products: Vitamin C for brightening; an SPF for protection for the morning and retinol for resurfacing at night. Retinol, derived from Vitamin A, increases cell turn over, bringing bright healthy new skin cells to the surface and removing dull skin. It’s been clinically proven on an impressive level to be widely effective on the face in terms of plumping skin smoothing fine lines and reducing pigmentation so if your skin can handle it, it’s a total game changer. However, I advise starting with the lowest dose possible and building it up over time. Retinol should be applied sparingly in the evening only to limit sensitivity and photosensitivity, and only used once or twice a week to begin with- allowing your skin time to adjust. Dot a pea-sized amount onto your finger and gently massage it into clean, dry skin. Take care not to apply too much product while also avoiding the delicate eye area as both can cause irritation. Do not apply alongside Vitamin-C products (typically applied in the morning) and do ensure to apply a broad spectrum sunscreen daily whilst using retinol.

Skin care ingredients - Vitamin C L-ascorbic acid

Latest News – December 26, 2024

Skin care ingredients - Vitamin C L-ascorbic acid

  Vitamin C is a skin brightener that protects against daily aggressors Vitamin C is a superstar ingredient for the skin, with L-ascorbic acid being the most potent. Without vitamin C your skin is unable to produce collagen. It’s a well-known ingredient for fighting the effects of sun damage, reducing signs of ageing, minimising hyperpigmentation and revealing an overall brightness to dull skin. Your skin needs vitamin C to protect against free radical damage.    It’s commonly found in a serum formula and used in the morning ahead of sunscreen. However, not all vitamin C is made equal. It’s difficult to formulate in a way that maintains its stability and efficacy so choose yours wisely. Skinceuticals are recognised as the originators of antioxidants and have the patents for the best antioxidants on the market. SkinCeuticals founding scientist Dr. Sheldon Pinnell conducted research about antioxidant formulation and discovered specific formulation factors, now known as the Duke Antioxidant patent. SkinCeuticals is the only brand to formulate antioxidants according to these standards.  Free radicals are molecules with unpaired electrons, causing them to be unstable and highly chemically reactive. These unstable molecules are generated by UV rays, pollution, and lifestyle factors like alcohol and cigarette smoke. Over time, free radical damage leads to visible signs of accelerated skin aging, including fine lines, wrinkles, laxity, discolouration, and even skin cancer.

JetPeel Skin Treatment.

JetPeel Skin Treatment.

  The JetPeel jet pressure energy device generates pressurised air, which is accelerated in order to manipulate liquid into fine misty jet streams. These jet streams, travelling at a speed of over 200 m/s, are applied to the skin surface with the patented JetPeel handpiece, a wand-like instrument available in a range of sizes and configurations for specific treatments and conditions. As it travels over the skin, the handpiece generates continuous fine liquid jet streams that provide a lymphatic massage followed by exfoliation of the epidermal layer, and then gently stretch the skin surface for the infusion of specially suited liquid solutions.

Dehydrated Skin and how to treat it.

Latest News – October 17, 2021

Dehydrated Skin and how to treat it.

Dehydrated skin is a common skin concern. Dehydrated skin occurs when the skin lacks moisture in the surface layer which is the epidermis. For our skin to function optimally, it needs adequate water content and without it, dead skin cells won’t exfoliate smoothly, leaving skin feeling dry and rough. It’s important to know the difference between dry skin and dehydrated skin as the terms are often incorrectly used interchangeably, which makes it difficult to treat. Dry skin is a permanent state and is often referred to as a “skin type”. It results due to the lack of water and lipids - oils skin feels rough and tight, those with dry skin are often dry on other parts of the body.

How does skin change over the years?

Skin is a living organ and undergoes significant changes during a person’s lifetime: from the delicate skin of a new-born baby, through the teenage years when some are acne-prone, to the wrinkles of later life. Each stage has its own demands and skin care should reflect these changing needs. Choosing appropriate products to cleanse, protect, nourish and repair skin at each of these stages will help to keep it healthy and ensure that your skin looks and feels its natural best, whatever your age. How is skin different at each age and stage?
