At-Home Facial Protocol For Aging Skin
As we age, it’s only natural that our skin and bodies naturally start to age too. This process is called intrinsic aging. Over time, our complexion loses its supple and youthful look because collagen and elastin are depleting. Some signs of aging include wrinkles, fine lines and dark spots. Thankfully, you can reduce the visible signs of aging with topical skin care that restores moisture, delivers antioxidant-rich ingredients and encourages tightened-looking skin.
To combat the visible signs of aging, our Product Support Team recommends cleansing daily with the Firm Skin Acai Cleanser containing antioxidant-rich acai berries. This cream cleanser also contains hyaluronic acid and seabuckthorn oil to improve the look of elasticity to the skin.
Next, apply the Neroli Age Corrective Hydrating Mist which offers a Natural Retinol Alternative and Swiss Green Apple, making it especially perfect for mature skin. A few sprays daily will give the appearance of tighter-looking skin. The Firm Skin Acai Exfoliating Peel contains Vitamin C, acai berry and grapefruit, ingredients that contain antioxidants to tighten the look of the skin. Lactic acid and glycolic acid gently exfoliate the skin to reveal a youthful-looking glow.
Follow up with the Bamboo Age Corrective Masque for ultimate relaxation. It contains stone crop juice, lavender and jasmine to increase the skin’s hydration level and help the appearance of irritated skin, which is important for improving skin texture. Next, the Marine Flower Peptide Serum contains a Smart Collagen+ Complex, an ingredient made from natural plant peptides and sustainably sourced freshwater and saltwater algae. This serum improves the appearance of firmness and provides long-last hydration, both of which help with the look of wrinkles.
To improve the look of the eye area, apply the Marine Flower Peptide Eye Cream to your delicate under eye area. This cream contains botanical hyaluronic acid which provides the skin with hydration, to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. And as a final moisturizing step, use the Firm Skin Acai Moisturizer to hydrate dry, mature skin. Blueberry juice, raspberry juice and shea butter help to moisturize skin with triglycerides and fatty acids.
Best At-Home Facial Protocol For Uneven Skin Tone
Something as tiny as a small pimple or as prominent as a stubborn dark spot both contribute to making skin tone appear uneven. To help address all these factors, our Stone Crop Hydrating Mist is formulated to balance the look of the skin. It contains stone crop juice, lavender and jasmine to increase the skin’s hydration level and calm irritated skin, which is important for improving skin texture.
The Bright Skin Licorice Root Exfoliating Peel is a gentle exfoliating product that can smooth out the appearance of uneven skin. It contains lactic acid which accelerates the removal of dead skin cells.
After exfoliating, you can mask up with the delicious smelling Citrus & Kale Potent C+E Masque, which harnesses Vitamin C and E with leafy greens to hydrate and protect your skin. Once you’ve enjoyed a mask, apply a few drops of the Citrus & Kale Potent C+E Serum. This is a deeply hydrating serum that supports the effects of the mask by keeping skin plump to reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles.
To even out your under eye area, the Bearberry Eye Repair Cream is designed to brighten and rejuvenate dark circles. Containing ingredients like meadow eyebright, hop and bearberry extract, it both hydrates and brightens the appearance of dark circles for a more awake appearance. Lastly, apply a moisturizer like the Stone Crop Whip Moisturizer for balanced and even-looking skin. The key ingredient, stone crop, deeply hydrates and helps the appearance of uneven skin tones.
