1. How will a glycolic acid peel benefit my skin?
• Glycolic acid is primarily used to help improve the skin's appearance and texture by reducing the appearance of wrinkles and hyperpigmentation.
• Once applied to the skin, it reacts with the upper layers of the epidermis, weakening the binding properties of the lipids that hold the skin cells together. This allows the outer skin to "dissolve" revealing the new underlying skin.
• This helps to remove dead skin cells; reduce the appearance of blemishes and pigmentation as well as fine lines and wrinkles. Importantly it also helps to optimise the penetration of skin care products and LED light.
• It’s recommended for use on normal to dry, mature skin.
2. I have a problematic skin will a salicylic acid peel help?
• Salicylic acid is used to improve the skin's appearance and texture. It’s a key ingredient in many skin care products developed for the treatment of acne, Psoriasis, calluses, corns, Keratosis Pilaris and warts.
• Salicylic acid causes the cells of the epidermis to slough off more readily. It also exfoliates the pore lining to help prevent the pores from clogging and breaks down blackheads and whiteheads. In addition, the formulation helps to stimulate cellular renewal; purify and soften the skin to give a more even complexion.
• It’s recommended for use on hyperpigmentation, oily and acne prone skin.
3. Why is Hyaluronic Acid important to the skin?
• Hyaluronic acid is one of the chief components of the extracellular matrix and literally acts like a sponge in the skin.
• It helps to lock moisture into the extracellular matrix, keeping the collagen and elastin moist and contributes significantly to cell proliferation and migration. This helps to promote a youthful appearance. In addition, it’s also involved in tissue repair.
• When the skin is exposed to excessive UVB rays, it becomes inflamed (sunburn) and the production of hyaluronan in the cells in the dermis declines and there is an increase in the rate of its degradation. This has a negative impact on the health and appearance of the skin.
4. Will the BEAUTYMED Hyaluronic range help remedy dry skin and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles?
• In order to achieve optimal efficacy, the products in the range contain a hyaluronic acid complex that incorporates several hyaluronic acids, with different molecular weights.
• Sodium hyaluronate is a key active. It can reach a level of water mobilization of up to 20 times its own weight.
• This helps to keep the collagen and elastin moist, maintain cutaneous hydration and reduce water loss, one of the early symptoms of cutaneous aging.
• This helps to renew and repair tissues and revive and sustain cellular metabolism and proliferation. This reactivates the skin’s protection, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and firms the skin.
• This anti-aging range is recommended for use on dry, mature skin.
5. What skin benefits does Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 provide?
• Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 is a synthetic peptide, made from a protein found in Botox. It can help prevent skin aging caused by excessive catecholamine release as a result of repeated facial movements.
• Unlike Botox it doesn’t need to be injected and is a safer and milder alternative to Botulinum Toxin.
• It’s also a more versatile format and gives the user the flexibility to apply the active cream or serum at home as part of their daily skin care regime.
• Once applied the active enters the skin’s membranes and works like Botox to help limit muscle activity and wrinkling.
• This helps to tighten the skin and reduce wrinkles around the mouth, eyes. forehead and cheeks, which have been caused by smiling, squinting and other facial movements. Over time this helps to prevent the skin from forming new wrinkles and gives it time to repair existing wrinkles.
• In 2012, the FDA oversaw a study through the NIH Neuroscience IRB which found that this peptide was safe for long-term use. In addition, it was effective in reducing wrinkles and prolonging the beneficial effects of traditional Botox.
6. Will Arbutin help address pigmentation and age spots?
• Arbutin is a natural extract found in bearberry plants.
• It works by slowly releasing hydroquinone through hydrolysis. This helps to block epidermal melanin biosynthesis by inhibiting the enzyme Tyrosinase and hence the enzymatic oxidation of Tyrosine to form Melanin.
• This helps to block epidermal melanin production and assists in lightening the skin, minimizes liver spots and pigmentation and reduces the degree of skin tanning after UV exposure.
7. How do the actives Taurine, Camphor, Chitosan and Vitamin E benefit my skin?
• Vitamin E has a variety of functions that help to keep the skin healthy. It’s an antioxidant agent, offers protection, assists in wound healing in addition to having an anti-inflammatory effect on the skin. This helps prevent the premature cutaneous aging of tissues and protects the skin against free radical damage.
• Taurine is an organic acid derivative of cysteine and the only known naturally occurring sulfonic acid. It assists in maintaining the integrity of the cells by helping to stabilise the cell membrane by maintaining its structure, permeability and polarization. This has a revitalizing effect on the skin.
• Camphor is a natural antiseptic agent, which helps to calm the skin and reduce redness. It is also used as a stimulant and anti-inflammatory because it has cooling and toning properties.
• Chitosan is a marine extract that has hydrating and healing properties. It’s specifically beneficial when treating dehydrated areas of skin.
8. Who can use the product?
• The product range has been developed to address specific skin concerns and is suitable for use by both men and women.
9. Should I use the product range every day?
• For best results a skin care regime, as recommended by your skin care professional, should be followed every day using the BEAUTYMED cosmeceutical range.
