GLYCOLIC ACID and NIGHT CREAM FACTS
Aging skin needs to be exfoliated.
Age 20's, skin cell turnover is at its best. By the 30’s, decreasing cell turnover and sebum production occurs; lines and wrinkles are more visible. Age 40's & 50's, cell turnover dramatically decreases by almost 50%; sebum production slows down; and skin's outer layer becomes less resilient.
Dead or dying skin cells build up on your face.
Outer skin thickening and dehydration; impaired oxidation; blemishes and poor texture. Skin's ability to regenerate new cells is deterred. Clogged pores build up and skin looks dull and lifeless. Petroleum-based skincare can further cause problems by blocking the skin.
Why was Magnesium added?
Magnesium is known to help balance and support the body. At night, the body is doing cellular repair; our night crème provides renewal and recovery as exfoliation occurs during sleep and optimizes skin recovery.
Will I feel a change with Magnesium?
No, you won’t feel a change; Magnesium is working on the cellular level, so the product will have the same lovely feel and wonderful result.
What are Glycolic Acids and how do they work?
They are natural compound derived from sugar cane and fruit, and are alpha-hydroxy acids (AHA). They work by gently breaking down glue-like bonds that hold dead cells to skin's surface, to reveal the healthy new skin beneath. Research has shown that repeated applications of glycolic acid can help to prevent the "re-thickening" and maintain a smoother younger-looking appearance.
How do Glycolics help with sun damage?
Glycolic acid can cause remarkable improvement in appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Used over time, it is one of the most effective ingredients for decreasing photo-aging effects - commonly known as sun and age spots.
Why do Glycolics work so well as a night-time treatment?
During the night, our body's functions slow down to repair our bodies and tissues. A night-time exfoliant allows for gentle exfoliation, while providing deep-penetrating nutrition and hydration for new cells.
Are Glycolics safe to use at home?
Yes. In proper concentrations, they are very safe and effective.
