Beauty Ingredients vs Time




Today let's talk about those ingredients that really help our skin and become our allies in our effort to eliminate the signs of aging that passage of time leaves our skin .  Of course , there are many ingredients today in cosmetic formulations (creams , masks , serums , ampoules , etc. ) which help the skin to address the signs of aging .  Nonetheless, today we will focus on five ingredients that are widely recognized for their therapeutic action on the skin. 
 

Hyaluronic acid

Perhaps the most well known ingredient to emerge in recent years. It%u2019s ability to bind extremely large quantities of moisture ( approximately 1000 times its molecular weight) contributes immensely to the production of collagen and elastin. It also provides protection against  free radicals. Hyaluronic acid is a substance produced by the body itself from the day we are born. However, the production of hyaluronic acid is reduced significantly over time. For example, at the age of 40, it  decreases to about 50 % while at the age of 60 the production is as low as 10%. It is therefore very important to replenish the skin with this valuable ingredient.

Some products I recommend to my clients are:

Hyaluron Emulsion  30 ml
Hyaluron Ampoules (6 x 2 ml)
Hyaluron Ampoules (6 x 2 ml)
Hyaluron Cream with 3 Ampoules
Hyaluron Cream with 3 Ampoules

 

Retinol and Vitamin A


Together with Vitamin E , Vitamin A is often called the beauty vitamin. Retinol is also a form of vitamin A.  Vitamin A is known for its protective effect on the skin because it neutralizes free radicals and prevents deep wrinkle formation. It is also crucial for the development and structure of the skin. Other positive effects of vitamin A is that it normalizes the activity of the sebaceous glands and neutralizes keratinization of the skin.

Coenzyme Q10


Coenzyme Q10 is a very important enzyme that protects cells, regenerates the skin and fights wrinkles . 

Specifically , coenzyme Q-10

 
Activates the skin. Young skin has great amounts of CoQ10 and thus has adequate energy %u2013 that is, energy required to repair the damage and make sure that the skin cells healthy.

 
Protects against photoaging - premature aging that is due to exposure of the skin to sunlight

 
Rejuvenates the skin and stimulates cell activity . The active skin cells can easily get rid of toxins and make much better use of nutrients.

 
Stimulates collagen production. Collagen is the protein that decreases as we age, which in turn leads to wrinkly skin

 
It is a powerful antioxidant that works against oxidative damage  (such as from the sun's UV rays , pollution , toxins , stress ) all of which lead to premature skin aging


Some products I recommend to my clients are:




 

Vitamin E

 
Vitamin E is a powerful fat-soluble antioxidant that combats the harmful action of free radicals, and also protects and repairs the skin from damage caused by UV radiation . It also combats skin dryness by helping the skin to maintain its natural hydration .

 
Finally , clinical studies have shown that when creams with vitamin E are used before exposure to the sun and the UV rays, the skin suffers less from redness, swelling, and dryness.

Peptides


Mixtures of peptides are used in almost all skin care products.  They are especially effective skin care ingredients that help reduce wrinkles and improve overall skin quality. Furthermore, they increase the production of collagen and help skin to maintain a uniform appearance .

 
In recent year, we%u2019ve seen the emergence of peptide mixtures of peptides like Matrixyl, which stimulate the production of collagen and hyaluronic acid . Other popular mixtures of copper peptides are peptides , which reduce inflammation of the skin. Finally , some of the most innovative peptides are neuropeptides which ( according to clinical studies ) relax the muscles of the face, and therefore , reduce the appearance of wrinkles - similar effects as i.e. injection BOTOX.
