ANTI AGING
SKIN CARE PRODUCTS
Anti-aging product are made just like any other product but they
are reinforced with active ingredients that have proven in clinical tests to
either prevent the two upper layers of the skin (the Epidermis and the Dermis)
from shrinking (Preventative Anti-Aging products) or those ingredients acts by
making the layers slightly thicker if they have already shrunk (Reversing
Anti-Aging Product).
The Epidermis – The
top layer skin
Issue:
Dry/Dehydrated Skin
We look to make this layer less dull, dry and dehydrated. Think
about how baby skin looks soft and smooth, but as we get older our skin begins
to look rougher and dull. This is because the oils being produced by the top
layer of the skin are depleted.
Dry
and dehydrated anti
aging skin cream is producing
less “lipids”. Lipids are your skin’s natural protective oils are they play an
important role in softer, smoother, younger looking skin. They protect and act
as barrier that does few things:
·
prevents water
from seeping out too easily.
·
holds moisture in
·
prevents bad
invaders from the wind and the sun, out.
To remedy dry and dehydrated skin we look for anti-aging skin
care products with lots of emollients ceramides and fatty acids.

REVITALIZING DAY MOISTURIZER - goop
Issue: Rough / Dull Skin
Rough and dull skin happens because “Cell turnover” rate slows down.
Cell turnover is a big word smooth skin. You get cell turnover when you
exfoliate. The reason we ask you to exfoliate is that we want to send a message
to your skin to create more fresh skin cells. Out with the old in with the new.
To
remedy that we encourage you to use exfoliators in the forms of scrubs or peels
with AHA or BHA.

The Dermis – The
structuring layer
Issue: Wrinkle /
Sagging
This the layer that give your skin
care Moisturizer structure
thru collagen and elastin. Wrinkle (happens when the existing collagen and elastin is weak so it
caves in) and Sagging Skin (happens when not enough is being products to keep
the skin firm and plumped) – happens because the skin is not producing enough
collagen and elastin, so instead of your skin looking plumped, it caves in
produced tiny divets or wrinkles and sagging. To address this we add
ingredients that help to boost the production of those structures in your skin.
To strengthen the skin, we recommend creams and serums with
hyaluronic acids and other ingredients such as peptides and anti-oxidants.
