Top 3 Skin Care Ingredients for Real Results
There are many skin care brands that market themselves as luxury, but not many are actually delivering an all-star lineup of superstar ingredients. Often times, brands price tags are a reflection of their brand name rather than their product quality.
one of the greatest things about incorporating high quality skin care into your routine is the ability to simplify. for example, you many be able to treat complex concerns using 3 products rather than 5 products. this in turn increases the likelihood that you will stay consistent with your self care. good ingredients can be the difference between treating a concern in the moment and conditioning your skin to ward off concerns in the future.
while shopping for luxury brands, you should be looking for complex formulations that will efficiently transform your skin. here are my top 3 luxury ingredients to look for the next time you’re on the market for high end skin care.
copper peptides- copper peptides work wonders for all concerns, especially aging related concerns. they help to repair damage in the deeper layers of the skin while improving elasticity. this ingredient is worth every penny in every formulation. this is typically present in a serum form so that it will penetrate deeply.
growth factors (EGF)- epidermal growth factors are proteins that stimulate cell growth. this ingredient aids in repairing the skin and promoting healing. this can be useful in treating texture, acne scarring and aging in the skin. EGFs are commonly used in the treatment room during advanced treatments like microneedling. having them in your home care routine can greatly improve results of professional treatments
cytokines- cytokines are large groups of proteins that help with healing in the cells. they are extremely regenerative and help to produce collagen. most importantly, they reduce inflammation which is amazing for acne concerns.
One common theme of advanced skin care ingredients is their ability to promote deeper healing in the skin rather than the temporary treatment of the outermost layer(s) of skin. luxury skin care is definitely worth the investment if you are educated on what to look for!
