Skincare Ingredient Guide | The 8 Wonder Ingredients you should be using: AHA/BHA, anti-oxidants, Retinol, Vitamin A, Vitamin C and E, Glycolic Acid


The 8 wonder ingredients you should be using...


With thousands of products on the market, all with the same claims, their massive advertising campaigns, and their even bigger ingredients list, it is becoming more and more difficult, and complicated, to buy skincare. With so many miracle products claiming to remove wrinkles, firm, lift, lighten, and tighten the skin, what miracle ingredients should we really be putting on our skin?


The 8 wonder ingredients we should all be using are Vitamin A, C and E ( potent anti-oxidants), Glycolic Acid and Alpha Hydroxy Acid, Mulberry Extract, Super Fruits (anti-oxidant rich) and Green Tea. But why do these anti-oxidant ingredients play such a vital role in skin anti-aging?
An antioxidant isn't a type of ingredient, but the function a specific ingredient can perform on the skin. Free-radical damage is what antioxidants are supposed to combat, either by stopping new damage, or by reversing earlier damage caused by free radicals. Free-radical damage can cause deterioration of the skin's support structures, decreasing elasticity and resilience. The presence of antioxidants in the diet, and the topical application of antioxidants in skin-care products, plays a part in slowing down free-radical damage. If we don't get sufficient antioxidant protection, from our diet or from those we put on our skin, free-radical damage continues and thus wrinkles appear.

This week, we have put together a list of the top products for each ingredient category. Each product is rich in anti-oxidants, and will therefore improve the overall function and apperance of your skin. Combined with regular applicaiton of AHA's or Glycolic Acids, to promote skin exfoliation and cell turnover, you are on your way to healthy looking skin.

Vitamin A: Retinol
Retinol is a natural, primary form of vitamin A. When applied to the skin, it exfoliates the surface layer, speeds cell renewal, promotes collagen production, and reduces wrinkles.

Glycolic and Salicylic Acid
Derived from sugar, glycolic acid is one of a number of alpha hydroxy acids. It improves the skin's appearance, accelerating the natural process of cell renewal by exfoliating the top layer of the epidermis. This BHA improves the appearance and condition of the skin. Its exfoliating action removes the dead cells from the epidermis, allowing new cells to rise to the surface. Salicylic acid is also antimicrobial.

Exfoliants that remove the flaky, "dead" layer of skin from the epidermis (the skin's outermost layer) to improve the skin's texture and color, and speed up cell renewal. They are also moisturizing and with continued use, may help smooth fine lines and wrinkles. AHA is the family name for a variety of acids: citric acid, glycolic acid, lactic acid, malic acid, and tartaric acid.

Great Skin At Any Age

Invest for Skin Success: Your Skin is your most precious asset, well worth investing in.


You're beautiful at every age, but there's no reason you shouldn't enhance those good looks and maintain them as long as possible, with professional-strenght skincare that is suited to your specific needs.
Whether you are in your 20's, 30's, 40's or 50's, we've featured some of the most potent and best products on the market, so you're bound to find the right product for your current skin condition and needs.
So give your skin back its natural glow and turn back time.
From the team at The Beauty Club



20s...
Even if you shun the sun, you're exposed incidentally to damaging UV rays daily. Always apply broad spectrum, high SPF sunscreen before stepping out of your front door. You should also cleanse cleverly and look for a product that is packed with antioxidant benefits. While your skin is fairly efficient at exfoliating, giving it a helping hand will minimise the appearance of blemishes and dullness. As for makeup, experiment with colours and trends, but choose formulas that treat your skin too.

30s...
The first signs of ageing will start to show, so now is the time to add an intensive serum to your regime. Topical application of antioxidant vitamins A, C and E can also target issues of uneven skin tone, sun damage, pigmentation or loss of elasticity. Choose vitamin A to address uneven skintone and vitamin E to relieve dry and sensitive skins. You should also invest in a serum that is packed with a potent blend of antioxidant vitamin A, vitamin C and with AHA's for exfoliation and skin renewal. Daily eye care is more important than ever to prevent puffiness, dark circles and fine lines. You should also keep an anti-ageing treatment mask on hand to hydtate, smooth and brighten your skin.

40s...
Skincare should step up a level to counteract your complexion's vulnerability to ageing. Look for products that firm, tighten and revitalise. Team your daily skincare routine with salon strength peels. A weekly mask will revive and rejuvenate a tired complexion, and using one that also has firming and toning benefits will help improve radiance, encourage firmness and help minimise the appearance of lines and wrinkles. As for makeup, use makeup that highlights and contours to help restore your glow. Look for skin-perfecting primers which hydrate the skin abd minimises pores, all while perfecting the complexion.

Enhance your beautiful outer glow with a potent serum to combat any dehydration that may occur with the depletion of our skin's natural oils that occuers as we become a little older. Combat dehydration and guard against ageing by using 100% essential oils. You should also use an intensive serum that contains Idebenone, a patented ingredient with powerful antioxidant benefits. A daily dose of intensive vitamins packed with concentrated vitamin C will assist in repairing the visible signs of sun damage and help restore luminosity.

Natural Moisturising Factor...
One of the primary elements in keeping skin healthy is making sure the structure of the epidermis (outer layer of skin) is intact. The components that do this are often called natural moisturising factor or ingredients that mimic the structure and function of healthy skin. When the lipid content of skin is reduced, we experience surface roughness, flaking and fine lines. Natural moisturising factors make up an expansive group of ingredients that include amino acids, ceramides, hyaluronic acid, cholesterol, fatty acids, among many others. Here are our favourite products that contain these key ingredients.

Anti-ageing? How about anti-oxidants...

Having anti-oxidants in your skincare means your skin will be protected from free-radicals from those nasty free radicals (the prime cause of premature ageing). Here are some particularly powerful ones that your would make friends with.

Anti-Oxidant Complex: A combination of anti-oxidants that ensure the skin is protected from a multitude of environmental stressors. Try Clinique Continuous Rescue Antioxidant Moisturizer, which releases anti-oxidants over the whole day.

Vitamin C: This powerful anti-oxidant protects the skin from free-radicals and is requried for the production of collagen. Try MD Skincare Anti-aging Vitamin C Gel, which reduces the appearance of fine lines, protects the skin's natural moisture barrier with essential fatty acids, and combats free radical damage.

Green Tea: Green tea has potent anti-inflammatory properties and is a potent anti-oxidant that fights free radical damage, thus preventing pre-mature ageing . Try Elizabeth Arden's Green Tea Skincare Revitalizing Essence, which enhances a clear, bright, and even-toned complexion.


Pomegranate: The power of this ancient fruit has been used for centuries. A more potent anti-oxidant than green tea, it enables the skin to heal faster. Try Murad Vitalic Energizing Pomegranate Moisturizer SPF15, which helps to stimulate healthy cell function, safeguards your skin from free radical damage and protects your skin from the sun's damaging UV rays.
