As we age, we eventually see a shift in our skin. Whether it is dark spots from the sun or a loss in volume in our cheeks or even a dryness from the change of hormones.
Even for women who have enjoyed low maintenance skin their entire lives, at some point, our skin shifts and demands a bit more from us.
While you can head to a MedSpa for Botox treatments and fillers, there are natural, effective solutions available, too. Here are our top tools for naturally radiant skin at any age:
1. Hyaluronic Acid Serum:
So what exactly is hyaluronic acid? This is created naturally in your body, and serves to help your skin stay hydrated. Hyaluronic Acid has the ability to hold nearly 1,000 times its weight in water, helping to plump and moisturize the skin.
It is known to hydrate your skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, by supporting the actual structure of the skin. To learn more about our Hyaluronic Acid Serum, read more here.
2. Retinol alternative:
For many women, Retinols can be very effective, but also very irritating to the skin, causing redness and inflammation. In clinical trials, dermatologists have concluded that Bakuchiol (pronounced buh-KOO-chee-ol) stands as an incredible, natural alternative to Retinols. After a 12 week trial, the study found there was significant improvement in lines and wrinkles (-20% wrinkle depth), pigmentation, elasticity, firmness and overall photo-damage, with no irritating effect on skin.
Our Miracle Overnight Serum contains a generous amount of Bakuchiol, and is one of our most popular serums because of the overall impact to lines, wrinkles and skin color.
3. Collagen Peptides:
As we age, our bodies tend to make less collagen, which is a key component of the skin, as well as joints, that makes it strong. It is recommended that you consume Collagen Peptides, not just Collagen, because the molecules tend to be a bit large, and hard for your body to process. Our choice for Collagen is Orgain Collagen Peptides.
4. Vitamin C Serum:
Dark Spots are one of the most common skincare concerns that women share with us. Essentially, these spots can show up anywhere you have had sun exposure over the years. If you want to diminish these spots, one of the best tools in your toolbox to handle them is a high quality Vitamin C Serum.
In our signature Vitamin C Serum, we have 3 powerful ingredients that provide a strong and effective Vitamin C. Camu Camu, Goji Berry and Pure Vitamin C are all included to help with dark spots and to smooth and brighten your complexion.
5. Water:
While this one may seem obvious, many women tell us that they forget to drink water throughout the day! Often in the evenings, they realize they may not have had much water to drink at all. Trust us when we tell you that your skin will not hold onto this secret. Lol!
Set a goal for the amount of water you want to drink, and begin tracking it with a water bottle. If you don’t like room temperature water, try ice water in a BruMate!
If you want radiant skin, without harm chemicals or injections, there really is a world of alternatives open to you! It may require a bit more education and experimentation, but you can get dramatic results using natural ingredients and techniques.
