This month, we present to you the 5 holy grail ingredients that you NEED to have
in your skin care routine for perfectly nourished skin!
Vitamin C
This one will keep you young! Not only does it help protect the skin from ultraviolet rays, but it also improves the appearance of wrinkles, dark spots and acne. The best part though is the fact that it’s an antioxidant (heavy word right?). We’ll explain, don’t worry! Antioxidant, meaning it fights harmful free radicals (toxins) that come in contact with your skin from external sources like air pollution, or from inside the body as a result of normal processes like your metabolism. Go get your C’s 🍊🍊
Hyaluronic Acid
An acid that’s good for your skin, and is actually found inside your body 😱 Surprised? So were we. This one’s going to give you that plump and and hydrated look. You may have heard the chatter around ‘collagen’ but hyaluronic acid is where it’s at.
Calendula
Looking like a tomato because of all the acne or inflamed skin🍅? Calendula’s been god sent for you! Made for every skin type, it soothes and calms skin, can potentially help
speed up wound healing and it can be used daily. It can be used with anything, especially Aloe Vera for that extra hydration 💦
AHA / BHA
You need these babies to exfoliate your skin🧽. AHA, being water soluble, can’t penetrate through the skin’s natural oils. They are great for helping to even out skin tone, lighten pigmentation and fade scarring! BHAs are oil soluble, meaning that they have the ability to penetrate deeper into pores, really helping to clean out and dissolve excess sebum build-up, so if you have an oilier, blemish-prone skin, this is simply perfect!
Cica
Cica, also known as centella, has been a staple in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries! No matter what your skin type or biggest concerns are, Cica could probably assist you in some way. “Cica is believed to soothe and repair irritated skin,” says Ellen Marmur, M.D., a New York City-based board-certified dermatologist. This includes treating acne and calming sensitive skin.
