FAQS
Did you know that by the age of 30, your natural production of collagen and elastin begins to decrease by 1% each year? This is why it is so detrimental to begin proper anti-aging skincare by your late twenties! This allows proper cellular changes to be made to aid in the prevention of early signs of aging.
Retinol A is a well-loved ingredient due to its ability to speed skin cell turnover and boost collagen production. While sensitive skin can use a retinol product, it can lead to flakiness and the feeling of dryness in the skin. To counter this, it is suggested to incorporate a hyaluronic acid and proper moisturizer into your routine. The percentage of retinol as well as the frequency of application weekly should be adjusted to suit your skin type. If you are still finding the usage harsh, consult with your skincare professional for alternative options that are best suited for your skin type.
The biggest misconception that I have noticed with acne is that “drying out” your skin will diminish your acne. By over exfoliating or harshly diminishing the oils in your skins protective barrier, you are actually creating more of a problem. By doing this, your sebaceous glands will over produce oil to compensate for the sudden loss, furthering your breakouts.
