Skinceuticals
THE IMPORTANCE OF A PROPER REGIMENT
A proper skincare regimen is essential for healthy, youthful skin. Although the specific products depend on skin type and skin concerns, every effective regimen must include three fundamental elements—Prevention, Protection, and Correction. At SkinCeuticals, our product philosophy and consumer education programs are built around these principles. These three steps address and minimize the visible effects that environmental aggressors have on skin.
To “Prevent” the appearance of accelerated skin aging, it’s imperative to use a daily topical antioxidant. This targeted range of vitamin C serums prevents and neutralizes age-accelerating free radicals generated by UV rays, pollution, and other factors like alcohol consumption and cigarette smoke.
Photodamage created by the sun is the number-one cause of the appearance of accelerated skin aging and may lead to skin cancer; therefore, it is essential to “Protect” skin with sunscreen. SkinCeuticals offers a full range of broad spectrum sunscreens designed for different skin types, concerns, and lifestyles in order to shield skin from UV rays.
To improve the appearance of lines, wrinkles, discoloration, and other visible signs of aging, SkinCeuticals offers products designed to “Correct”. These potent skincare products are formulated with powerful ingredients and advanced technologies to support a healthy, youthful complexion.
These three components ensure an effective skincare regimen for maintaining and improving the overall health and appearance of skin.
A SkinCeuticals skincare professional can create a customized skincare regimen that is tailored to every unique skin type and concern. These professionals are extensively trained in the science behind SkinCeuticals and can prescribe additional in-office treatments that make it possible to achieve one’s skincare goals. Think of a SkinCeuticals skincare professional as an essential partner for healthy, beautiful skin.
EltaMD
EltaMD sunscreens help prevent sunburn and decrease the risk of skin cancer and early skin aging caused by the sun, when used with other sun protection measures. EltaMD sunscreens are formulated with transparent zinc oxide and are noncomedogenic, sensitivity-free, fragrance-free and paraben-free. All EltaMD lotion and cream sunscreens and UV Aero spray sunscreen are now recommended by The Skin Cancer Foundation as effective broad-spectrum sunscreens.
EltaMD broad-spectrum sunscreens provide safe, broad-spectrum ultraviolet (UV) protection. A broad-spectrum sunscreen helps prevent sunburn and if used as directed with other sun protection measures, decreases the risk of skin cancer and early skin aging caused by the sun. Ultraviolet, or UV rays, are part of the invisible energy that comes from the sun. UVA (aging) rays account for 95% of our sun exposure. They cause skin aging and contribute to skin cancer. UVA rays penetrate deeply into the skin layers, damaging collagen and cells which leads to wrinkling, hyperpigmentation and loss of elasticity. UVB (burning) rays mostly affect the outer layer of the skin. They cause sunburns and tanning that increase the risk of skin cancer and other disorders. The risk for skin cancer doubles in people who have had five or more sunburns. Skin Cancer Foundation (Nov. 2010)
When wearing EltaMD sunscreens, the UVA and UVB rays reflect and scatter away from your skin, providing you protection from sunburn. EltaMD sunscreens help prevent sunburn and, if used as directed with other sun protection measures, decrease the risk of skin cancer and early skin aging caused by the sun.
All EltaMD sunscreens are formulated with zinc oxide, a natural, mineral compound. Because zinc maintains its protective ability in the sun, it is more photostable than some chemical ingredients that may degrade. Zinc sunscreen blocks the widest spectrum of UVA and UVB rays, protecting skin against burning and the premature appearance of aging and risk of skin cancer. Zinc is safe for even the most sensitive skin types.
