Caffeine, vitamin C and retinol – what do they all have in common? They’re all known for their anti-ageing skincare benefits. You may not be familiar with copper for its anti-ageing properties, but this wonder ingredient has grown in popularity over the past few years. So, just how effective is copper and should you be using it in your skincare regime?

Copper can maintain skin health

Copper maintains healthy skin by boosting collagen and elastin which keeps your skin firm. Furthermore, it promotes hyaluronic acid which is what the skin requires to prevent fine lines and wrinkles. The anti-bacterial properties in copper keep your complexion clear and radiant.

It isn’t toxic

Unlike certain metals, copper infused skincare that’s topically applied poses little harm as the body metabolises it. This safe ingredient can be easily used to prevent sagging, wrinkles and an overall loss of firmness.

It penetrates the skin

As copper is able to penetrate the skin, your complexion is able to demonstrate the benefits. Copper peptides have been researched for decades and are a proven wound healer as well as boasting anti-ageing benefits for the whole body and hair.

It’s anti-inflammatory

Inflammation is thought to be a cause of ageing. Copper contains anti-inflammatory properties as it suppresses inflammatory cytokines. Therefore, a decrease in inflammation will promote a healthier looking complexion.

It assists with hair growth

In addition to its skincare abilities, copper is excellent for boosting hair growth. We tend to suffer from hair loss as we age, so using haircare containing copper peptides can really help. This is due to copper increasing hair follicle size and limiting follicle cell death.

It boosts the performance of LED lights

When copper peptides are used in combination with red LED light, collagen synthesis increases more than usual. This promotes a radiant and youthful looking complexion.

Client Testimonial: “Jodie is extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the IPL treatment sessions. She explains the process and what to expect so that you are put at ease from the first consultation. During my IPL sessions, Jodie marked up the areas and avoided any moles or damaged skin, then preps using the cooler handle before a light shot. The light shot itself really doesn’t hurt, it’s done in seconds. The fact the skin is cooled first makes this an easy process to tolerate. I genuinely didn’t feel in pain at all and Jodie applied a lovely aloe balm to soothe the skin straight away. If anything I felt my appointments were more of a therapy as I knew I would be hair free come my holiday. After each session I came away feeling the progress getting better and better and by week 5 there was hardly any hair growth. I didn’t feel the need to shave anymore. I felt more confident and there is much less maintenance at home now which means I have more time for other things. I would highly recommend IPL hair removal by SkinBase and with Jodie as she made me feel at ease from the moment I asked about it and the difference it makes is life changing for someone who wasn’t so confident in her skin. I can’t wait for Summer and my holiday. Thanks Jodie & SkinBase.”
