PREVENTION, PROTECTION AND CORRECTION
To maintain and improve skin health, an effective skincare regime must contain three fundamental elements – prevention, protection and correction. SkinCeuticals product philosophy and educational programs are built around these principles. Our line of advanced skincare products is designed to prevent future damage, protect healthy skin, and correct previous damage. At SkinCeuticals, achieving results means more than restoring youthful, radiant skin – it means preventing serious skin conditions, like skin cancer.
Why Skin Ages?
Scientists have now proven that exposure to elements like Sun, smoke and air pollution can cause premature ageing. New research specifically shows that UVA rays, one section of the suns radiation, are responsible for premature ageing.
UVA rays generate free radicals that break down collagen and cause premature ageing.
UVA rays cause DNA mutations that lead to skin cancer.
UVA rays go to all layers of the skin; UVB rays go no deeper than the outer layers of the skin.
UVA rays penetrate glass, are present year round and are 1000 times more plentiful than UVB rays.
Broad Spectrum Sunscreens
The best protection from UVA radiation is to wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen that blocks both UVA and UVB rays. All skinCeutiacal sunscreens contain Z Cote (microfine zinc oxide), which protects from both UVA and UVB rays.
Antioxidants
The body uses antioxidants to protect itself from free radical attack caused by UV exposure. Supplementing the body’s natural reservoir of antioxidants with a topical serum such as SkinCeuticals Serum 15 can provide additional protection from premature ageing.
Using a combination Antioxidant (serum 15) and a broad-spectrum sunscreen (Daily sun defense) is one of the most effective ways to protect yourself from premature ageing and to improve existing environmental damage on your skin:
- Reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Improving age spots and hyperpigmentation
- Lightening the overall appearance of the skin
- Preventing additional environmental damage to the skin
