As skincare professionals it's not only our job to provide high quality, effective services to our clients but to also make sure our clients are maintaining their skin at home with the correct products. It's our job to learn about the latest advances in skincare and to recommend the best possible products that will help our clients achieve the RESULTS they are longing for. When they see those results with their own eyes they will thank you with their loyalty, choosing you over anyone else. When their friends tell them how great they look, they will have you to thank. YOU are their skincare guru, and that's a pretty important job.
Part of choosing the correct products for your clients comes from educating yourself about the BEST skincare ingredients.
We at Derma MD are here to help!
Today let's talk about one of the HOTTEST skincare ingredients in the industry.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is one of those stand alone ingredients that offers a multitude of anti-aging benefits all by itself, but when combined with other top quality anti-aging ingredients it can't be beat!
Vitamin C offers superior antioxidant protection, shielding skin from damaging free radicals that are found in our every day environment including UV damage, pollution and even the oxygen we breath.
This superior antioxidant can:
- help reduce the appearance of sun spots and age spots
- increase healthy collagen for firmer skin
- fade red spots and acne scars
- reduce inflammation and irritation
- reduce the appearance of broken capillaries
- help boost your skin's natural defenses against UV exposure
- brighten the skin's appearance
Types of Vitamin C
L-Ascorbic Acid and Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate are two superior types of Vitamin C used in top quality skincare. L-Ascorbic Acid is a powerhouse antioxidant and collagen booster and is highly effective when used in higher concentrations from 15-20%. Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate is a highly stable and effective antioxidant that is also known to increase skin's hydration level and improve elasticity.
Our 17% Vitamin C Serum contains BOTH of these ingredients that work synergistically together to target dark spots and hyperpigmentation as well as boosting collagen to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This serum is highly active and can tingle on the skin therefor we do not recommend it for very sensitive skin types.
Ascorbyl Palmitate is a non-acidic form of Vitamin C that is gentle on the skin while still working hard to eliminate free radicals. It is a moisturizing form of Vitamin C that is safe to use for even the most sensitive skin types.
Our Vitamin C Milk contains Ascorbyl Palmitate combined with super antioxidants Pycnogenol and Reservatrol to reduce inflammation, lighten the appearance of hyperpigmentation, improve the appearance of broken capillaries and boost collagen levels for firmer, more luminous and younger looking skin.
We recommend using either Vitamin C serum at night after cleansing and toning, before applying a night cream such as Uplifting Firming Night Crème. Alternate with Pink Silk or S-Cargot in the morning followed by Last Step SPF 50.
Both products (available in 120ml back bar sizes) can also be used as part of your treatment to introduce your clients to the benefits of Vitamin C. Apply before Last Step SPF 50.
