Skin Care For Spring
The needs for your skin change with the seasons. A heavier moisturizer that would be appropriate to battle the elements of winter is put aside in exchange for something lighter for your skin. The one necessity that should remain unchanged is your facial serum.
Serums are concentrated doses of antioxidants, extracts and/or nutrients that provide intensive care by penetrating deep into the skin. Often used to treat early aging signs and problem areas, serums strengthen skin cells by delivering active ingredients below the epidermis to deeper layers of the skin that moisturizers can’t reach.
Serums come in a mixed variation of ingredients. When choosing a serum as a staple to your skin care regime, it is helpful to look out for ingredients that can specifically target your skin’s needs.
Alpha Hydroxy Acid: documented as an ingredient to reduce wrinkles or the signs of aging, and improve the overall look and feel of the skin, it sloughs off dead skin caused by the dry winter months.
Hyaluronic Acid: helps the serum adjust to the environment to release the right amount of moisture for the skin. Hyaluronic acid adjusts its moisture absorption based on the relative humidity in the air, making it an ideal ingredient for skin’s moisture retention. It also protects the epidermis by scavenging reactive oxygen species generated by ultra violet light which would normally cause sunspots.
DMAE: described as a face lift in a jar for its beneficial action on facial muscles.
Rose Distillate: offers excellent emollient and hydrating properties with stimulating action to promote youthful looking skin with good tone, elasticity and an even colored complexion.
Bilberry And Cranberry: strong organic antioxidants, making excellent free radical scavengers, which help combat cell damage that leads to premature aging and disease.
Meadowfoam Seed Oil: a rare source of a powerful antioxidant known as 3-MBTU. Possessing a pleasing earthy aroma, Meadowfoam oil is a phenomenal natural emollient.
Neroli Essential Oil: helps to regenerate skin cells and is useful in preventing scar tissue, fighting stretch marks and broken capillaries. Its effect creates a smoother skin tone. It is steam distilled from the flowers of the orange blossom tree. Its fruity-floral aroma contains sedative properties that calm the mind and soothe tense muscles. Its benefits are healthy beyond your skin.
