Here’s a list of some of the ingredients you should include in your skincare routine. Each one will help you to have a radiant, healthy and beautiful complexion, their benefits will enhance your natural beauty.
The care of our skin is of utmost importance, it is our protective barrier against pollutants and stressful elements found in the environment. Besides being one of the most sensitive organs and being exposed to the air, it needs to develop a skincare routine that helps us to restore, nourish and recover the natural nutrients. A good skincare routine is basic and will help our skin look spectacular, radiant and healthy.
Every skincare routine is different, because each of us has a unique skin type that needs different treatments. For this reason it is important that we first define our skin type, know its needs and what type of treatment will help us. To achieve this it is best to schedule an appointment with a dermatological expert to guide us and put us in the right direction to choose the right products that work with our epidermis. It is always important to start with a basic skincare routine, then we can add more steps and products that help us to improve and strengthen our routine.
The beauty industry is one of the most intriguing and, in some cases, confusing industries that can exist. Every year, we see new ingredients become brand favorites and new products are launched and marketed as miraculous for our skin. Depending on our skin type, some of these may work better than others. But there are certain ingredients that have made it past the trends and seasons to become staples in skincare products, each of the ingredients on this list have proven to have incredible benefits for our skin and continue to be used in various skincare products.
Hyaluronic acid
An ingredient that helps us to hydrate our skin. Hyaluronic acid helps us retain water and prevents it from evaporating throughout the day, which allows our epidermis to stay moisturized for longer. This ingredient is produced naturally in our body, but due to the pollutants we find in the environment our skin needs our help. By including a product with this ingredient in our skincare routine, your complexion will look radiant, smooth and youthful.
Vitamin C
One of the most commonly found ingredients in our beauty products. The skincare industry has been using Vitamin C for years thanks to its multiple benefits. Applying Vitamin C topically helps to reduce fine lines, reduce skin blemishes, protect from UV rays and increase skin hydration. Apply Vitamin C with a product – cream, oil or toner – in your morning skincare routine to help protect your skin from free radicals throughout the day.
Seaweed
Seaweed has high amounts of vitamins, amino acids, proteins, iron, lipids, calcium and minerals, which have made it one of the most popular ingredients in the beauty industry. Seaweed helps to eliminate skin blemishes, reduce inflammation, moisturize the skin, reduce the appearance of wrinkles and protect against the sun’s rays. We find this miracle ingredient in a wide variety of beauty skincare products, such as creams, serums, toners or gels, to include in your skincare routine.
Green Tea
Rich in antioxidants it helps to protect the skin, keep the skin hydrated, reduce redness and inflammation, fight wrinkles and acne. Undoubtedly an ingredient that in recent years has become very popular, but it has been part of Japanese women’s skincare routines for decades. Green tea besides giving us a radiant and healthy skin helps us to reduce the risk of contracting chronic diseases, making it an ideal ingredient to include not only in our skincare but also in our diet.
Retinol
Derived from Vitamin A, retinol is one of the most widely used components in anti-aging products. It helps increase collagen production for firmer, smoother skin, as well as decreasing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It also increases the rate of skin cell renewal, which decreases the appearance of acne and blemishes. Just keep in mind that it is an ingredient that can cause irritation so you should consult your dermatologist before incorporating it into your routine.
Peptides
Chains of amino acids that help us to generate proteins in our body such as collagen naturally in our body. This will allow us to have healthy skin with firmness and elasticity, improves the condition of our hair and strengthens our nails. Using products with this ingredient helps us to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and combat expression lines that may appear on the skin. Applying products with peptides does not mean that our skin absorbs the peptides, but it helps to increase the natural production.
Each of these ingredients will help to recover and increase the natural beauty of your complexion, look for products that contain some percentage or are made from these ingredients. In my opinion some of the best options are from the experts at Spa Technologies, their serums such as Marine Serum, with seaweed extracts and marine peptides, or Luminous Vitamin C Serum, which as its name suggests contains Vitamin C among its ingredients, will help your skin look young, healthy and luminous. Always keep in mind that our skin is very sensitive to any change, so first do an extensive research and consult your dermatologist to incorporate the right product for your skin type.
