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.
Happy Shopping!

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.
