  • Why We have Added Retinol To Our Line and Why We All Need It

    Some Key Points about Retinol and why we have added it to our line. This article was taken from Timeless Alure Uk Serums containing retinol are, arguably, amongst the most effective products available to support skin health and should be a staple of all good skincare regimes, alongside a suitable cleanser, moisturizer, broad-spectrum sun protection, plus, Vitamin C. Retinol is a form of vitamin A, and vitamin A itself is long established as being central to cell renewal. Extensive research has shown that Retinol, by encouraging new skin cell production, can improve a variety of skin concerns – Firming skin: by encouraging the production of the skin’s structural proteins (Collagen & Elastin) and Hyaluronic Acid (the natural water retaining molecules in skin tissue) …which also has the added bonus of … · Reducing wrinkles · Improving Acne: by encouraging ‘desquamation’ – the skin’s natural exfoliation process – so that pores don’t become blocked by dead skin cells …which also has the added bonus of … · Improving the appearance of enlarged pores (this is also thought to be helped by the increased Collagen and Elastin production, as the pores are strengthened) So, if it is ‘the holy grail’ of skincare, why has it got such a questionable reputation? Unfortunately, Retinol is one of a family of vitamin A derivatives called Retinoids, which vary in strength and effect. The strongest, and the one with the greatest effect on skin cell turnover, is Retinoic Acid. Retinoic Acid can most easily be described as ‘prescription strength’, and it is used in cream/gel format (Tretinoin) and tablet form (Isotretinoin) to treat Acne. Its strength means that cell turnover is very rapid indeed, and so, in the short term, it can cause irritation, dryness, and flaking. This has led people to believe that Retinol thins the skin. However, this is misleading, because, it only thins the very most outer layer of the epidermis, removing those skin cells that would be exfoliated naturally. In fact, evidence shows, that over time, Retinol actually thickens the skin, by encouraging the basal layer, which contains the stem cells, to reproduce more quickly. Used appropriately, it will not detrimentally affect the skin, as it has a regulatory effect on the cells, and renewal is controlled. So, in the short term, this leads to brighter, healthier-looking skin, and in the longer term, to the strengthening of the deeper dermal layers of the skin which helps to smooth lines and wrinkles! IT WORKS! So, should we all rush to add Retinol to our daily regime? USE NIGHTLY The answer is yes & no! As already explained Retinoids (of which Retinol is a form) come in varying strengths · Retinyl Palmitate, which is the weakest, but the least potentially irritating form · Retinaldehyde · Retinol · Retinoic Acid, the strongest but the most potentially irritating form Ideally, in order to see the greatest improvement in the look and health of our skin, we should opt to use Retinol on a daily basis. However, as already discussed, it is potentially irritating when first used. The sensible approach is to gradually introduce it into our regimes, either by starting off with a lower-strength product, such as one containing Retinyl Palmitate, or by initially using it only once or twice a week, and slowly reducing the time between applications. It is important to note that the onset of irritation can be delayed, and so may not be apparent for 2 or 3 days. The goal should be to use a moderate strength Retinol (0.04-0.1%) every evening, but if your skin is sensitive, you may find that 2 or 3 times a week is all that it can comfortably tolerate. If irritation is still an issue you may need to look at products containing weaker retinoids. These options will still provide improvements, but progress will be slower. So, is Retinol suitable for everyone? Natural collagen production begins to slow down from our mid 30’s, and so from this age, everybody should think about boosting it through Retinol use. However, if you are prone to irritation, or suffer from conditions like Eczema, then you should seek help to ensure that your choice is appropriate. Retinol is not suitable for use during pregnancy and whilst breastfeeding, and should be discontinued for a month prior to attempting conception. Finally…..SPF, SPF, SPF: daily use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen (minimum SPF30 & 5 crowns) should be one of the mainstays of your skincare regime. But retinoids have a photosensitizing effect on the skin, it is therefore imperative not to skip this vital step, and if/wherever possible avoid strong sunlight in order to avoid pigmentation issues. It’s also important to make sure your skin’s barrier function remains intact, by moisturizing and maintaining your hydration levels. This will ensure that your skin remains healthy, and irritation is kept at bay, once you have established the use of skincare’s ‘Holy Grail’ in your routine!!

  • Body Oil vs. Lotion

    The Difference Between Body Oil and Body Lotion, Explained Share on PinterestJavier Díez/Stocksy United Both body oil and lotion are great for helping you get smoother, soft skin. But the importance of keeping your skin moisturized goes beyond its appearance and feel. Moisturizing matters not only for your skin health, but also for overall health, since your skin acts as a protective barrier for the rest of the body. Keeping skin moisturized becomes particularly important in colder months and drier climates, or if you have existing conditions that impair your skin barrier function, like eczema or psoriasis. When it comes time to choose an oil or lotion, though, you might wonder which product will work best for your skin. Knowing the difference between body oil and lotion can make it easier to give your skin what it needs. So, what’s the difference? In short, body oil is thicker and heavier than body lotion. It creates a barrier on the outer layer of your skin that helps keep moisture in. Body lotion, on the other hand, is lightweight, with a thinner formula. It can help soothe and soften dry skin. What’s the difference between body oil and body lotion? Below, you’ll find a few more differences between body oil and body lotion. Body oil Body oil is made up primarily of — you guessed it — oil. Oil is an occlusive. An occlusive creates a physical barrier on your skin’s surface to prevent trans epidermal water loss. This is why oils commonly show up as ingredients in moisturizers. Oil can also function as an emollient, which means “softener” or “soother.” If you don’t have enough water in the top layer of your skin, it can crack and flake, which leaves spaces between skin cells. When you apply an emollient, it fills those spaces with fatty substances, called lipids, for a softening and soothing effect. Yet since body oil is thicker than body lotion, it doesn’t spread as easily. As a result, oil may have a harder time getting into those spaces. Body lotion Body lotion is mostly made up of emollient ingredients. That said, many body lotions also contain occlusive ingredients, like oil, to help you get the best of both worlds. Since lotion has a more lightweight formula, you’ll typically find it easier to spread. Plus, body lotion penetrates skin more effectively than oil can. That’s why you feel the typically feel the soothing and softening effects right away when you apply it to tight, dry skin. Which one should I use? Your choice of product really depends on three main factors: your skin goals any existing skin issues what you want to get out of the product According to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), lotion is the way to go if you experience seasonal dryness in otherwise typical skin. But if you’re entering perimenopause or over the age of 50, you may want to skip body oil and lotion both. Instead, opt for a cream-based moisturizer, which may more effectively treat dryness caused by hormonal changes. Compared to lotions, creams tend to have a higher oil content. A lotion that contains oil or any other occlusive can also help prevent some moisture loss. Along with various plant oils, other occlusive ingredients include: beeswax silicone butters like shea butter and cocoa butter petroleum jelly All of that said, applying a more occlusive product to already-dry skin may be counterproductive — a barrier that keeps moisture in can also keep much-needed moisture out. If you have chronic dry skin, creams or ointments may have more benefit for dry skin. If you don’t have dry skin and want to lock in moisture to help your skin stay hydrated, then body oil may work well. PRO TIP To use body oil most effectively, apply it to damp skin: When your skin is already hydrated, adding that protective, oily barrier can help keep that water in. Can you mix the two? You absolutely can mix them, according to Grace King, a cosmetic chemist. “You use a mixture of both when you need that extra amp of hydration, like in winter. It’s a customized approach,” says King. You can take advantage of this combo in two ways: You can either mix them before applying or apply one right after the other. Regardless of which method you choose, it’s important to do it correctly. If you’re going to mix body oil into lotion, only mix as much as you need for a single application and use it right away. King doesn’t recommend storing the mixture, since this can lead to ingredient separation. “If you want to apply one after another, do the lotion first and then the oil. The oil is more occlusive, so it seals in the moisture. If you do it the other way, it is harder to absorb and hard to apply uniformly,” says King. Are they safe to use? Body oil and lotion are generally safe for most people to use. Just know that it’s always a good idea to get guidance from a dermatologist or other healthcare professional before using any skin care product if you have sensitive skin, allergies, or a skin disorder. Body oil and lotions containing oil may not be good options for people with oily skin or acne because these products can clog pores and lead to breakouts. Instead, you may want to opt for a moisturizer developed specifically for oily skin. You’ll also want to pay attention to other ingredients in any body oil or lotion you’re considering. Some chemicals used in dyes and fragrances, like alcohol, can dry and irritate your skin, potentially worsening existing skin concerns. Try to stick with products without fragrance or added ingredients if you have any skin sensitivities or concerns. The bottom line Body oil and body lotion serve the same basic purpose — helping keep your skin hydrated. Choosing between the two mostly just comes down to your specific needs and preferences. If you don’t like the feel of lotion or oil and still want to hydrate your skin, cream or ointment may be more your jam. Just take care to keep any existing allergies or skin concerns in mind when shopping for a product.

  • 5 Skin-Care Mistakes You May Be Making at Night

    5 Skin-Care Mistakes You May Be Making at Night Avoid these common beauty missteps and you’ll be on your way to maximizing the benefits of beauty sleep. By Jessica Migala Medically Reviewed by Ross Radusky, MD How you treat your skin at night affects how you look and feel when you wake up in the morning.Anna Efetova/Getty Images After all the assaults your skin takes during the day — from the sun, pollution, and makeup — the opportunity for your complexion to restore and renew while you sleep is important for maintaining youthful skin as the years go by. It pays off: Sleeping well has been associated with less premature skin aging, and according to a study published in Clinical and Experimental Dermatology, those who lacked shut-eye were more likely to have a compromised skin barrier, and they were less satisfied with their appearance. All that to say, beauty sleep is a real phenomenon, and you can help make the most of it by practicing good skin-care habits at night. “Your skin is in repair mode every night. Unlike during the day, you’re not sweating off what’s on your skin, so products can be nicely absorbed,” says Deirdre Hooper, MD, a board-certified dermatologist at Audubon Dermatology in New Orleans and an associate clinical professor in the department of dermatology at Louisiana State University and Tulane University. But don’t get in your own way by skipping smart skin-care ingredients, slathering on products meant for the daytime, or increasing your risk of irritation. Here are the nighttime mistakes experts say could be contributing to skin problems: 1. You’re Not Washing Your Face Before You Hit the Sheets It’s been a long day, you’re dog-tired, and all you want to do is face-plant into your pillow. But don’t forget to wash your face first. “I don’t think you need to wash your face in the morning, especially if your skin is sensitive or dry, but it’s an absolute must at night,” says Dr. Hooper. Washing removes the dirt and pollution that’s accumulated on skin throughout the day, something that can contribute to acne and accelerate the skin aging process, Hooper says. If washing at the sink is too big of an ask, then — at the bare minimum — keep micellar facial wipes on your bedside table and do a quick wipe down in bed. 2. You Ditched Your Retinoid Regimen If you go to the dermatologist in hopes of starting a routine to delay signs of aging, the doctor will most likely advise using a retinoid or retinol product. The vitamin A derivative revs collagen production to fight fine lines and wrinkles, according to Harvard Health Publishing. A systematic review analyzed the results of seven randomized controlled trials on topical tretinoin, which is a retinoid, and found that all of the studies concluded that regularly using the cream improved the appearance of wrinkles, helped even out tone, and diminished dark spots. That said, retinoids also boost skin cell turnover, and they can leave you with irritation. The review found that while tretinoin was found to be “safe and well tolerated,” it also brought side effects, such as dryness, burning, redness, and peeling. That irritation may convince you that your complexion can’t tolerate it, causing you to stop completely. Not so fast! If you’re seeing minor peeling or redness, or if your face stings when you wash it, simply back off for a night or two, advises Charisse Dolitsky, MD, a board-certified dermatologist at Schweiger Dermatology Group in Long Island, New York. Once your complexion calms, resume use. Always apply a small, pea-sized amount. While prescription retinoids are more powerful than over-the-counter ones, Dr. Dolitsky usually steers patients toward over-the-counter formulas, which have less of a chance of irritation. Follow up with a moisturizer on top to improve hydration. 3. You’re Skipping a Moisturizer at Night As the day winds down, you may notice that your skin feels more parched. “It has been shown that skin hydration levels tend to decline in the afternoon and into the evening, making a moisturizer before bed an important part of your skin-care routine,” says Joshua Zeichner, MD, director of cosmetic and clinical research in dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. A moisturizer won’t just help rehydrate the skin — it can also ease potential dryness and irritation that comes with using a retinoid, making it easier to stick to regular use. Dr. Zeichner recommends moisturizers that contain skin-protecting ingredients, such as ceramides, dimethicone, glycerin, or hyaluronic acid, all of which work in different ways to keep skin soft and supple throughout the night. 4. You’re Relying on the Wrong Antioxidant at Night Some antioxidants are best saved for the morning, most notably vitamin C, Hooper says. “These neutralize free radicals that assault skin all day,” she says. Free radicals are substances that attack and damage healthy cells, contributing to disease throughout the body, according to research. A good vitamin C serum can be pricey, so don’t waste your money by using it at night, when your skin won’t get the most out of it. But if you’re going for a nighttime antioxidant, apply a serum containing resveratrol. (One to try: SkinCeuticals Resveratrol B E, available at Derm Store) Glo - Oh on Redeem And Renew Resveratrol is inactivated by the sun and doesn’t do well in the morning, Hooper says. “If you have time [and the budget], applying multiple antioxidants is a good idea, as a variety offers more well-rounded protection. It’s like eating a variety of vegetables for a diverse array of nutrients,” she says. 5. You’re Scrubbing Your Skin Too Hard and Too Often You don’t want to be too hands-off with your nighttime habits, but you don’t want to get too enthusiastic either. Resist the urge to scrub or exfoliate routinely, especially if you’re already using a retinoid, says Dolitsky. For one thing, it’s redundant — a retinoid is already doing the work of stimulating cell turnover. Combining a retinoid and scrub also increases the risk of an irritation flare-up. Once a week is likely safe for your skin, she says; any more often is overdoing it. Now all that’s left to do is wake up more beautiful tomorrow morning.

  • Is A Serum Needed?

    When I started developing skincare products I found that serums were essential. I had never used a serum before thinking it might make my skin feel greasy... But, when I developed the Royal Spa Kit The Serums were just what my skin needed. I noticed my skin was healthier looking and feeling. Hydration in all the right places! I even began to get compliments on my skin and how fab I was looking! Although serums worked for me I still used a moisturizer after using serums. We now have 8 different serums to choose from. Serums A tip about serums: When it's water based use morning and night When oil based use only at night.

Getty Images; iStock (2) You’re ready to establish a good skin-care routine — one that works with your skin type and addresses your skin goals. And in the midst of choosing a cleanser, a retinol, and maybe a mask, you’re also trying to settle on a serum, because you’ve heard about them and think you should be using one. If you're looking to target a specific skin woe, that may be a smart choice. What Is a Serum and When Do You Use Them? A serum is almost self-explanatory. “A serum really is just a slippery liquid. It’s in between a true liquid and a cream,” says Angela Lamb, MD, an associate professor in the department of dermatology at Mount Sinai in New York City. Within your skin-care routine, they are designed to go after your cleanser and before your moisturizer, says Dr. Lamb. These often contain an active ingredient that aims to address a single goal, such as brightening skin tone or fighting wrinkles. And often, they may be able to deliver better results compared with a similar moisturizer. “Serums have a higher concentration of active ingredients than a traditional moisturizer. They are formulated to penetrate the skin versus sit on the surface of skin and lock moisture in, which is the role of a [traditional] moisturizer,” says Deanne Robinson, MD, a board-certified dermatologist in Westport, Connecticut.

  • Nutrition Inside Helps Your Skin Show and Glow...Plus Video.

    Have you been enjoying your summer? 2 Key Elements are the go to to stay glowing... #1 Water. Personally i am not fond of drinking water but found over the years IT CAN REMOVE YEARS. Stay hydrated! Fluid intake varies among age, gender, weight, activity level, and climate. However, ensuring that you are getting enough water and the right fluids will largely influence your hydration status. Most of us are familiar with the 8 x 8 rule, which reminds us to drink 8 ounces of water 8 x per day. 5 Tips for staying Hydrated Don't wait till you're thirsty to drink. By the time you feel thirsty, you're already slightly dehydrated. ... Flavor your water. ... Eat water-rich fruits and vegetables. ... Stay inside when it gets too hot. ... Dress for the weather. ... #2 A Super Booster is Collagen Description Collagen is an important protein building block that is found throughout the body in our skin, bones, and connective tissue. As we age, collagen production declines, causing our skin to lose elasticity and our bones and tissues to weaken. Our Collagen Peptides Powder is a flavorless, easy-to-mix powder formulated to support healthy skin, hair, and nails. Made from 4 types of food sources, it helps support 5 collagen types to promote overall beauty. It’s hydrolyzed for better absorption and soluble in hot or cold liquids. Easily stir it into your favorite beverages, add to your daily smoothie, or mix into soups, sauces, or oatmeal. Add 1-2 scoops of Collagen Peptides Powder into liquids or soft foods once daily. Our Non-GMO, Gluten-free Collagen is sourced from grass-fed cows, cage-free chicken, and kosher, North Atlantic whitefish. Ingredients Hydrolyzed Bovine Collagen Peptides, Hydrolyzed Fish Collagen Peptides, Hydrolyzed Chicken Collagen, Eggshell Membrane Collagen Follow a Healthy Diet and Lifestyle, Two Musts for Good Skin From Every Day Health When it comes to smart skin-care habits, there’s no replacement for a healthy diet and lifestyle. In the fight to keep lines and wrinkles at bay, your daily habits matter. Smoking, inactivity, and a diet high in sugary foods were linked to increased markers of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), per a study published in March 2018 in the Journal of International Medical Research. Higher levels of AGEs are associated with older age and are a factor in skin aging and collagen breakdown, noted a review published in November 2015 in Skin Therapy Letter, so make sure to continue to regularly exercise, eat a balanced diet, and stay away from smoking or quit if you’ve developed the habit. Another study, published in May 2019 in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, showed that eating fruit, yellow vegetables (these contain powerful antioxidants called carotenoids), and soy, and staying away from red meat led to less wrinkling over time for women. Staying active, on the other hand, may help lessen the risk of obesity and diabetes, as well as decrease stress, all factors that can help keep aging AGEs at bay, according to the March 2018 study. Another to-do: Get adequate and quality sleep. For adults, that would be seven to nine hours of sleep per night, according to the National Sleep Foundation. In a study published in January 2015 in Clinical and Experimental Dermatology on Caucasian women, those who were characterized as “good sleepers” had less skin aging, and their skin was better able to recover after sun exposure. What’s more, they thought they looked more youthful too. And who can argue with that? What does Redeem And Renew Offer?

  • Why Dry Brushing Is Essential

    Dry Brushing: What It Is & Why You Should Start Doing It Written by Bangstyle Dry brushing isn’t anything new, but in recent years — mostly thanks to Goop — you’ve probably heard more about it. Gwyneth isn’t the only celebrity obsessed with its benefits, this little self-care routine is making the rounds and has easily become one of the top trends in the wellness community. Below we’re discussing what dry brushing is, its benefits and how to do it. What Is Dry Brushing? Dry brushing is the process of using a body brush to brush your skin. Skincare experts, celebs and influencers around the globe tout its ability to not only aid in relaxation but body exfoliation as well. The Benefits of Dry Brushing: Apart from the ability to exfoliate the skin, dry brushing benefits more than just skin deep. This process can invigorate and awaken collagen production which thickens the skin to help combat the appearance of fat cells. What this does is tone the skin and improve elasticity for a smoother finish. How To Dry Brush: After finding a brush that suits you, start on skin that is completely dry. Then, starting at your ankles, sweep the brush in small upward or circular clockwise motions, using lighter pressure around areas of more sensitive skin. After you’ve worked your way up your legs and torso, then you can move onto your arms. *Pro-tip: When working the stomach area, use a clockwise direction. Once done brushing, apply a moisturizer or oil or hop in the shower and complete your moisturizing routine after this. How Often To Dry Brush: Everyone seems to have a different answer about how often to dry brush. The fact of the matter is that it really depends on your skin. Some individuals are able to dry brush every day while others should only dry brush once or twice a week because of the sensitivity of their skin. No matter what you choose, you should always pay attention to how your skin reacts and be aware of the amount of pressure you’re using as to not over-exfoliate or damage the skin. Testimony: Robert Phillips Robert is a truck driver. He moves tires you know the 3000 lbs ones. His hands developed an allergic reaction to certain gloves he had to wear This left his fingernails severly cracked. As i looked at them i said try dry brushing your hands and use the new Lotion Bar. He began to use the brush and the lotion bar ( he now takes to work with him) and his hands and fingernails ar improving greatly! yes Dry brushing is GREAT! Until Next Time Theresa

  • Do You Change Creams When Seasons Change?

    As the seasons change we will notice that some of oru daily routines will change as well. We switch our clothing because of what? Change. Temperature and climate change too. Heading into late spring we realize that we are in more sun exposure and heated temperatures. So I've added a few tips. #1 SUNSCREEN Most people think this is for summer But this all year round must have has to become a staple in your arsenal of skincare. USE IT DAILY! #2 The Serums Remember when temps begin to soar and you are out doors DONT STOP using oil based serums USE THEM AT Night . This will give oru skin that hydration and boost it needs . Some Vitamin C serums attracts the sun use them at night too and continue to enjoy the benefits of Vitamin C ( a super anti aging vitamin and age reducing vitamin.) #3 Use eye cream Sun can dry the eyes very quickly and the skin around the eyes is so delicate that you NEED the cream daily. A customer called and asked about why her eyes would be so puffy at times. I'm not a medical Dr. but gave her a practical tip after I told her to see a Dr. Sometimes as the season change you can develop a seasonal allergy and allergy drops are beneficial But check with a Dr.first. Another thing... Salt sale can give you fluid retention everywhere and the area around the eyes. is effected. But again check with your Dr. #4 Use moisturizers . Some of our winter moisturizers for severely dry climates may need a heavier moisturizer. Such as Moisture Plus And Replace And Vital C << ( my personal fav) In the spring and summer months a lighter one will be effective. Such as Royal Glow Face Cream. And, Rose Hydrating Cream And now our New Dreamy Skin So using Sunblock. Eye Cream, and, Moisturizers will keep your skin glowing all year long. #5 Masks Facial Our masks are great for the skin. Charcoal Clarifying Mask for when you have breakouts. Pumpkin Enzyme Glo Mask when you are dehydrated Rose Gel Complexion Mask when your skin gets to oily. #6 Develop a Habit Taking care of your skin becomes a routine that is worth starting at any age.
