Active Ingredients for Ageing Skin –

Hyaluronic Acid

A skincare star right now, Hyaluronic Acid is best in your daily routine in the morning, as it helps your skin retain moisture and stay plump all day long.

Vitamin C

A great product to pair with your SPF to enhance your protection against the sun. Vitamin C brightens the skin, supports tissue repair, and neutralises free radical damage, slowing down premature skin ageing. Use a vitamin c serum prior to spf application in the morning.

Retinol

A vitamin A based product, retinol is best used during your evening routine so it can work its magic as your skin repairs overnight. Retinol boosts collagen, smoothes the skin and encourages cell turnover, for a fresher appearance. If you have not used it before, start with every other day and increase your tolerance before adding to your daily skincare routine for ageing skin.

Peptides

You can use peptides morning and night. Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and rebuild and repair the skin. Incorporating more peptides provides your skin with greater amounts of the amino acids used during new collagen production.

Ceramides

Naturally occurring in the skin, ceramides hold the skin together, lock in moisture, and form a protective layer. This barrier prevents damage from the external environment occuring, so ceramides are great active ingredients for ageing skin.

Combining Ingredients

Most ingredients compliment each other when combined, for example ceramides boost skin hydration that may be lost with retinol. However, if you are using both retinol and Vitamin C, ensure you apply them at different times of the day. Incorporate Vitamin C in your morning routine, and retinol in the evening.

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.”
