There are so many skin care products available it is impossible to know which product is worth investing in. Some products are very expensive and do very little to improve the condition of the skin.
Belvoir Cosmetic Studio can supply you with skin care products that are supported by a knowledge of pharmacology and the anatomy and physiology of the skin. Such skin care ranges are known as "cosmacuticals".
Every woman over the age of 20 years, especially if you have had a history of sunburn, should invest in skin care products that contain:
(i) alpha or beta hydroxy acids - to improve the texture and hydration of the skin,
(ii)antideoxidants such as vit A, C and E - to restore the function of the skin barrier and to protect the skin cellsfrom cellular DNA damage due to UV damage and oxidative stress,
(iii)Vit C and other gentle depigmenting agents- to reduce uneven skin pigmentation
(iv)Vit K -to help support superficial blood vessels and to help prevent the formation of broken facial capillaries.
These ingredients should of course be delivered to the skin in an appropriate emollient or cream suitable for your skin type and the time of day. These skin care products are useful in the treatment of mild to moderate acne. In the summer months Belvoir Cosmetic Studio can advise about the use of effective spf preparations also.
