Why we need our Skincare ABC’s

Sometimes, the excitement around the latest must-have skincare products can be overwhelming, but it’s important to remember the tried-and-true ingredients that have always been staples in our skincare routines.

Skincare really can be simple when we get back to basics. Let’s dive into the ABCs of skincare, breaking down the essentials for achieving and maintaining healthy, radiant skin.

A – Accelerating cell turnover

Vitamin A, referred to as retinol in most skincare products, is a powerhouse ingredient that offers a multitude of benefits for the skin. Here’s why incorporating Vitamin A into your skincare routine can be transformative:

Increasing cellular turnover helps shedding of skin cells and promotes new cell growth, resulting in brighter, smoother skin and prevents build up and clogged pores.

Vitamin A is also essential in restoring damaged DNA in the skin cells, reversing the signs of aging and environmental damage.

We all know that we lose collagen as we age, but did you know Vitamin A stimulates collagen production enhancing skin firmness and elasticity and reducing fine lines and wrinkles.

It also helps regulate oil production reducing acne and breakouts

Exfol A is the refining, anti-ageing vitamin A serum combining the power of Lactic Acid, Lanablue™ and Retinol to smooth skin texture and allow for ultimate absorption of other ingredients.

 

 

B- Balance

Vitamin B, a group of essential nutrients, is a powerful protective antioxidant that offers a wide array of benefits for your skin.

The antioxidant properties in Vitamin B protect the skin from free radicals and environmental damage.

This protection helps prevent premature aging and maintains skin health.

Vitamin B also helps regulate the skin’s oil production, preventing both excess oiliness and dryness. Helping to reduce the likelihood of clogged pores and acne breakouts.

B3 (niacinamide), has anti-inflammatory properties that calm irritated skin, reducing redness and inflammation. This makes it beneficial for conditions like rosacea as well as acne.

Vitamin B also strengthens the skin’s barrier, which protects against environmental stressors and helps the skin retain moisture enhancing the skin’s overall hydration.

C- Combat

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that has unique benefits that help combat pigmentation. Here are why we love to include vitamin C in our clients skin care routines:

Vitamin C neutralizes free radicals, which are unstable molecules that damage skin cells and accelerate aging. By protecting against oxidative stress caused by pollution, UV rays, and other environmental aggressors, vitamin C helps maintain a youthful, healthy skin.

It is also renowned for its ability to brighten skin tone and reduce pigmentation. It inhibits the enzyme tyrosinase, which is responsible for melanin production. This helps fade dark spots, sun spots, and acne scars, leading to a more even skin tone and radiant complexion.

While Vitamin C is not a substitute for sunscreen, it enhances your skin’s defence against UV exposure. It can reduce the damage caused by UV rays, working with your sunscreen to provide all round protection.

Lastly collagen is essential for skin elasticity and firmness. Vitamin C stimulates collagen production, which helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, resulting in a more youthful complexion.
