Luminous Skin In Three Simple Steps
December 11 2017 – Cassandra Hilton
For those who desire that elusive luminous glow, consistency is the key to achieving ageless beauty and a complexion that continues to look healthy and youthful.
With the immense variety of products on the market, we frequently overcomplicate our skincare regimes with maximal efforts of over stepped multiple layered products that too commonly lead to irritation and inflammation. Efficient time saving regimes can be achieved by limiting your skincare essentials to no more than three morning products and three evening products for streamlined skin benefits.
No matter what your skincare preference or skincare need, your skincare ritual should always preserve the natural conditions of the skin - including the microflora. Maintaining your skin’s complex eco-system of microbes is imperative to a healthy skin immune response to environmental aggressors such as UVR, pollution and smoking.
Ecdysis Bio-Ferment Enzyme Cleanse brings you the benefits of probiotics and fermentation. Fermentation increases lactic acid production and yields active enzymes and nutrients greater than their unfermented counter-parts, without compromising the skin’s moisture levels or unique ecosystem. Probiotic skincare is beneficial in all skin types to achieve healthy, balanced and radiant skin.
Increasing collagen levels and preventing degradation is the essence to healthy and youthful skin. Very few antioxidants double duty to stimulate collagen while protecting it. Responsible for skin firmness, plumpness and youthfulness, collagen breaks down with excessive sun exposure, pollution and stress.
Luminosity Vitamin C Serum is formulated with a highly bioavailable form of Vitamin C and Vitamin E, is our favourite for increasing collagen production and protecting collagen from degradation. Aside from Vitamin C’s role in collagen, it also double duties in brightening skin via the ability to interfere with the action of tyroninase, the enzyme responsible for initiating melanocytes to synthesize melanin, the pigment responsible for sun spots, pigmentation and skin discoloration.
Retinol has stood the test of time and is hero ingredient if you need to step up your regime for cellular turnover to promote youthful and dewy skin. Along with increasing collagen production, this intelligent skincare ingredient communicates with receptors to re-arrange new and existing collagen, increasing pro-collagen type fibres 1 and 3, precursors to collagen. It is perhaps most well-known for increasing skin desquamation (skin slough off) by encouraging faster cell turnover to promote a refined, resurfaced and retextured surface.
Our Elemental ACE Serum delivers a high potency form of Vitamin A (Retinol 1%) to the skin to promote cellular turnover and combines with Vitamins C and E to stimulate collagen production and brighten skin. Apply nightly to address fine lines and wrinkles and promote youthful skin.
Moisturisers that double duty in both hydration and moisture and are rich in potent antioxidants are essential for daily use. Metamorphis Multi-Vitamin Cream contains skin identical ingredients of squalane, glycerine and essential fatty acids to provide the building blocks necessary to support the skins matrix, softening the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and keeping the skin smooth, supple and elastic. Intelligent skincare ingredients of retinol and niacinamide, communicate with skin receptors activating enzymes that assist to keep skin youthful and regenerated.
Through committing to a daily routine, you can maximise your skin’s potential to achieve ageless beauty and prevent damage from pollution, stress, UV damage, oxidative stress and more for a refined, glowing appearance.
