There are four types of skin care products that are key to any anti-aging skin care regimen.
1. Broad Spectrum Sunscreen is the number one anti-aging skin care product you can use. UV damage is responsible for 90% of visible signs of aging on your skin. Using sunscreen as a child and continuing throughout your life time is key. The dark spots and wrinkles you see today are from sun damage that occurred from a sunburn you got as a kid.
Bioelements SPF 50 Facescreen offers broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection while also improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Ray Defense SPF 30 also provides broad spectrum protection from UVA and UVB rays but is also lightweight and hydrating. Protects against prolonged sun exposure and should be used as part of any active, outdoor lifestyle.
2. Exfoliators should be used 2-3 times a week depending on your skin type and skin care needs. If you haven’t started using an exfoliator as part of your skin care routine as a teenager you should definitely start now! Exfoliation helps trigger the skins self repair response, increases cellular turnover and lymph flow as well as strengthens nerve function.
Bioelements Measured Micrograins + is a facial exfoliator that is good for all skin types. The natural jojoba beads are non abrasive, smooth beads that gently buff away dead skin cells.
Skin Editor provides dual depth exfoliation but using a unique blend of AHAs, 3% Glycolic acid and 7% lactic acid. Kombucha also brightens the skin, Canadian Willowherb soothes and organic shea butter hydrates the skin.
3. Pollution Protection Products that help neutralize skin damage from free radicals and other environmental pollutants.
These key pollution neutralizing ingredients can be found in Biolements Remineralist Moisturizer:
-Antioxidants help stimulate the skins self cleansing, self healing and self regenerating ability.
-Algae and Kelp work to move toxins through the body and stimulate circulation
-Activated Charcoal helps draw toxins up and out of the skin
-Sea Salt Minerals like iron, manganese, selenium and zinc help replenish what pollution depletes and rebalances for proper skin function
-Malachite is a copper-rich pollution magnet and heavy metal scavenger. It neutralized every day oxidative stessand supports the skins natural cellular damage protection system
4. Anti aging creams and serums should start being used in your mid to late 20’s but its better to start them late then not at all!
Bioelements Age Activist Clinical Youth Serum is an all in one youth serum packed full of retinal, peptides, vitamin E and coenzyme Q10. It brightens, hydrates, smooths and firms the skin, minimizes pores and improves the fine lines and wrinkles
