Top 5 Ingredients for Anti-aging Skincare
Having a
healthy-looking, glowing complexion is absolutely within reach through our 40’s
and beyond. Reviewing your skincare routine is a good place to start. Knowing
which ingredients are effective for helping mature skin look as healthy and
beautiful as possible.
Hyaluronic Acid: When skin is dry, Hyaluronic
Acid is one of the best ways to bring back moisture. This is why it’s one of
our favorite ingredients for aging skin. Hyaluronic acid
occurs naturally in the skin and can hold up to 1000 times its weight in water!
Yes, 1000 times! Having Hyaluronic acid
in your day and night creams and serums considerably boosts moisturization. Tip: Try our Ultimate Hyaluronic Serum for amazing results! Also, try Botanical Oil-Free Moisturizer and
Botanical Facial Moisturizer both with moisture-boosting
Hyaluronic, as well as our Vitamin C
Bundle, Marula and Pumpkin Lip & Eye Moisture and Triple
Ceramide Collagen Serum.
Vitamin C: Scientific studies show
that vitamin C helps reduce the appearance of aging and sun damage. Vitamin C delivers
nutrients deep into tissues helping support natural collagen production,
while it brightens, firms and improves the appearance of fine lines and
wrinkles. Tip: Try our Peptide
Rich Eye Cream, Vitamin C
Bundle or individual Vitamin C products
to best suit your skin needs.
CoQ10: CoQ10 is not only
critical to the cell's ability to produce energy, but it’s also critical to the
production of collagen and elastin. Collagen is important because it makes skin
appear firm and smooth, while elastin gives your skin the appearance of
flexibility and elasticity. The loss of collagen and elastin can cause the skin to
appear wrinkled and sagging. It’s no wonder this amazing ingredient made our
list! Pro tip: CoQ10 works
synergistically with caffeine so we have included both in our Peptide
Rich Eye Cream! Tip: Try our Wrinkle
Defense Curative Mist and our Vitamin C products
for a healthy does of CoQ10!
Alpha Hydroxy Acids: Exfoliation helps reveal
fresh skin which becomes more important as we age. AHA’s act as a tool to help skin
refresh itself a little more quickly to uncover a youthful glow and renewed
look. Tip: Try our Vitamin C Skincare
products all with AHA’s, our Wild Rose Skincare
line containing AHA’s, as well as our Love
Fruit Enzyme Mask, Deep
Refining Face Wash + Youthful Glow® Cell Renewal Complex and Botanical
Facial Moisturizer + Elasti New®
Ceramides: Ceramides are lipid
molecules found in cell membranes that help skin retain moisture. Ceramides
help restore moisture and act as a natural barrier protecting the skin from our
environment and from drying. These powerful little molecules are a must have
for aging skincare. Basically put, they're the fat
that traps water beneath skin's surface. Without Ceramides your skin cells
wither. (Interesting note - Ceramide deficiency even contributes to eczema,
says Dermatologist David Horne). Boost those Ceramides and boost critical
hydration! Tip: Try
our Triple
Ceramide Collagen Serum for healthy skin at any age!
