Take your anti‑aging skincare to the next level! You’re already familiar with the core anti‑aging ingredients ‑ SPF, retinoids, Vitamin C, and lighteners. Those ingredients are absolute must haves when you start focusing on retaining the youthfulness of your skin. But today I’m going to show you how you can take your routine to the next level with other amazing skincare ingredients that will reduce wrinkles, hydrate, fade pigmentation and more. Let’s get into it!
Epidermal Growth Factor
Rejuvenate and renew your skin with epidermal growth factors (EGF). These proteins come from the cells of humans, plants or animals and stimulate skin growth on a cellular level. This helps to boost collagen, elasticity and hyaluronic acid in the epidermis while holding in moisture and maintaining hydration. EGFs are also great for post‑treatment after microneedling and lasers because they help repair tissue damage. And of course they’re great for anti‑aging, while improving skin tone and texture, and reducing fine lines!
Skin Saint Recommendations:
Stem Cells
Stimulate regrowth with stem cells. Plant and human stem cells contain proteins and amino acids that send signals to the body’s cells to help them rejuvenate, leading to younger looking skin. They also have antioxidant properties that help to nourish skin cells, promote cell turnover and boost collagen production. All of these amazing benefits will leave you with fewer lines and wrinkles, firmer skin, improved texture and tone, and a younger looking complexion. Even better, they can help protect your skin from future damage as well as help retain moisture. Sounds like a miracle, right?
Skin Saint Recommendations:
Peptides
These naturally occurring amino acids make up proteins in the skin. They’re amazing for repairing your skin barrier, which helps to keep your skin functioning properly and keeps moisture in. You will also notice more youthful skin, less inflammation and even better skin quality and brightness when you introduce peptides into your regular routine!
Skin Saint Recommendations:
Hyaluronic Acid
Quench and plump your skin with Hyaluronic Acid. This is an amazing ingredient if you have extremely dehydrated skin. It retains moisture while smoothing and plumping your skin cells. It acts as a humectant by retaining moisture by 1000 fold, resulting in more supple skin. It’s a must have ingredient for anti‑aging and dry /dehydrated skin types!
Skin Saint Recommendations:
Withania Somnifera
We’re all plugged in to technology, but did you know your cell phones and computers are aging you? Yep, the blue light is causing a breakdown in your skin cells leading to fine lines and wrinkles, and even pigmentation. Something else to worry about! Withania Somnifera is a flower extract that protects skin from the effects of digital pollution and visible light, including photoaging and hyperpigmentation. It also boosts the skin’s vitality and gives a youthful glow.
Even better? My Amplify HA is packed with this amazing ingredient along with Hyaluronic Acid and Natural Fruit Acids to give you hydration and protection.
Skin Saint Recommendations:
Azelaic Acid
Battling with rosacea, inflammation, acne breakouts, and unwanted pigmentation? You need Azelaic Acid! This gentle compound treats sun spots, melasma and other forms of hyperpigmentation by blocking melanin production. If you still get the occasional pimple, this powerhouse ingredient can also help with that while evening your skin tone. It’s even an antibacterial, AND antioxidant that can help clear your clogged pores, while preventing aging. Azelaic Acid is capable of doing a lot for your skin on its own or when paired with other ingredients, so make sure to try it out!
Skin Saint Recommendations:
Niacinamide, the vitamin B3 compound, is truly a 7‑in‑one powerhouse ingredient. Got acne? It can help. Want to improve your texture? Yep, it can help that too. Oh but what about those fine lines? Absolutely no problem for Niacinamide. Oh and don’t forget pigment. Can it also help that? Yes it can! As if this wasn’t enough, Niacinamide also builds keratin to keep your skin firm and healthy, repairs your lipid barrier to help retain moisture, and reduces redness and inflammation. Niacinamide is also a great protector, keeping your skin safe from sun damage and oxidative stress while rebuilding skin cells. Wow, that definitely a must have ingredient!
