Como evitar sequedad cuando utilizas productos con retinol

Hay por veces una reluctancia en probar retinol. ¿Por qué? Bueno, esta probablemente relacionado con criticas menos positivas que ha recibido en el pasado. La realidad, sin embargo, es que este un ingrediente altamente eficaz en el cuidado de piel facial que cuando utilizado correctamente puede transformar el rostro.

Vamos a darte una descripción general de este ingrediente estrella para que puedas tomar tu propia decisión.

¿Qué es Retinol?

Retinol es un derivado de la vitamina A y es un ingrediente activo en muchos productos sin receta médica para el cuidado de piel facial. Es una versión más suave de los retinoides que son recetados por médicos para problema cutáneos como el acné o cicatrices.

¿Cuáles son los beneficios del Retinol?

Retinol tiene una variedad de beneficios y es muchas veces utilizado para tratar el acné. Funciona al desbloquear los poros y prevenir la acumulación de células muertas, que por u vez previene la formación de brotes. El hecho de que previene el bloqueo de los poros puede también resultar en que se vean más pequeños también.

El Retinol también es un ingrediente famoso por sus propiedades anti edad, y es en gran parte gracias a su habilidad de estimular la producción del colágeno, lo que significa que el rostro se ve más suave y las líneas finas y arrugas minimizadas. La proliferación de las células de la piel también aumenta, y este es beneficio porque engruesa la epidermis, combate las señales de danos solares como manchas e hiperpigmentación, aumentado la resiliencia de la piel.

Otro motivo por lo cual Retinol es tan eficaz es que hidrata y rellena la piel, lo que también previene la formación de líneas de expresión y arrugas en primer lugar.

¿El Retinol es peligroso?

Si utilizado correctamente y en la intensidad correcta para tu piel, el Retinol es perfectamente seguro. Hay mucha desinformación en la internet acerca del Retinol, pero no hay dudas que es un ingrediente poderoso.

La potencia o intensidad del Retinol puede por veces causar sequedad, escamadura e irritación si no es utilizado correctamente. Sin embargo, como ya podrás leer abajo, es fácil prevenirlo para que eso no ocurra utilizando el producto correctamente.

Como evitar la sequedad cuando utilizas productos con retinol

Siempre es recomendable cuando utilizas un ingrediente nuevo en tu cuidado de piel facial hacer un poco los deberes, buscando un poco más de información y asegurar que es indicado para ti.

Lo principal con el Retinol es utilizar de forma gradual especialmente si nunca lo has utilizado antes o tiene la piel seca o sensible. Si estas preocupado de alguna manera, puedes empezar a utilizar retinol do veces a la semana y permitirte un periodo de adaptación, o retinización, donde aumentas su utilización gradualmente durante un periodo de algunas semanas hasta que lo puedas utilizar diariamente.

Otra manera de evitar la sequedad es empezar con un producto de intensidad baja. El OBAGI360® Retinol 0.5 es la crema de retinol de baja intensidad perfecta para suavizar textura desigual, combatir espinillas y dar a la piel una apariencia más brillante y rejuvenecida. Obagi® considera la sequedad e irritación de la piel extremamente en serio, por eso para extra seguridad, Obagi® ha conducido un estudio clínico para asesar la irritación después de 3 semanas, asegurándose que los productos con retinol son mínimamente irritantes.

Comprar OBAGI360® Retinol 0.5

Otra manera de evitar la sequedad cuando utilizas productos con Retinol es elegir un producto que haya sido formulado con ingredientes extra nutritivos. Mantequilla de Karité y Extracto de Manzanilla han sido también añadidos a la formula del OBAGI360® Retinol 0.5 para contrarrestar cualquier inflamación, calmar el rostro, reducir el enrojecimiento y descamación y mantenerlo continuamente hidratado.

Además, este producto de baja intensidad puede también ser utilizado por personas en sus veintes y treintas porque cuanto más pronto empieces a utilizar retinol, ¡mejor! Por eso, empieza a utilizar esta crema ahora y preserva tu piel joven.

Es también increíblemente importante utilizar una crema hidratante duradera y con factor de protección solar 30+ mientras utilizas Retinol para hidratación y protección extra. Protector solar, en particular, ayuda a mantener la eficacia de retinoides tópicos y a evitar las quemaduras solares, a las cuales estas más susceptible cuando utilizas Retinol. Así, aunque por norma el retinol se aplique por la noche, asegúrate que incluyes protección solar en tu rutina matinal.

A nosotros no encanta el Obagi360 Hydrafactor® Broad Spectrum SPF30, una crema 2-en-1 espectacular, hidratante y protector solar que ofrece hidratación durante todo el día y una defesa contra los rayos UVA y UVB. Con las propiedades del ingrediente innovador que es el Hydromanil™, derivado de la semilla de tara, que ha probado clínicamente que proporciona hidratación hasta 8 horas, esa crema ira soportar y asistir los niveles de hidratación de tu piel cuando utilizas retinol.

¿Se pueden remover ojeras permanentemente?

Las ojeras se presentan normalmente como manchas negras por debajo de los ojos. Tenemos tendencia a pensar en ellas como señales de que alguien está cansado o es poco sano, pero eso no es el caso muchas veces. Hay, de hecho, muchos motivos para que ocurran ojeras, genética incluida, y el caso no es muchas veces tan simple. Sin duda que hemos escuchado leyendas de como curar esta condición de piel tan frustrante como bolsas de té y compresas frías.

Si tienes ojeras, puede ser que hayas intentado curarlas con diferentes efectos. Talvez el producto o tratamiento te haya aliviado durante un tiempo, talvez no haya funcionado de todo, pero como un invitado no deseado, esas ojeras siguen apareciendo, ¿verdad? Entonces, la pregunta permanece, ¿que es mejor para curar las ojeras permanentemente?

¿Cuál es la causa de las ojeras?

La primera parte de la historia es entender que pasa a nivel celular. La piel por debajo de los ojos es extremamente fina y delicada, lo que significa que los vasos sanguíneos son más visibles comparados con otras partes del cuerpo. Cuando estos vasos se dañan, pueden vasar sangre, causando un tono azulado. Mientras muchos de nosotros tenemos tendencias genéticas para tener ojeras, hay otros factores contributarios.

La falta de ‘sueno de belleza’ puede ser el motivo por lo cual nuestro cuerpo liberta más cortisol, la hormona del stress. Cuando esto ocurre, lo vasos sanguíneos se expanden para acomodar el aumento de flujo de sangre, y esto hace con que estos sean más visibles.

Fumar es otro grande NO. Es altamente dañino a nuestras células, lo que exagera las ojeras. Alcohol es otra molestia para la piel porque hace con que lo vasos sanguíneos se dilaten, resultando en danos y sangre acumulada debajo de los ojos.

Hay también ciertas medicinas que tienen es efecto indeseable de las ojeras, y otro culpado se piensa ser la comida salada porque causa que el cuerpo retenga líquidos que se pueden acumular por debajo de los ojos, llevando a ojeras e hinchazón.

Así vemos que al cambiar nuestro estilo de vida un poco, podemos mejorar nuestra salud en general y l apariencia de nuestra piel hasta cierto punto, pero hay algo que no podemos evitar, el envejecimiento.

¿Cómo es que el envejecimiento causa ojeras?

A la medida que nos tornamos mayores, nuestra piel pierde elasticidad, se vuelve más fina y la renovación celular disminuye. Es la reducción de colágeno y elastina que hace con que sea más susceptible a la laxitud. Esto puede causar líneas de expresión y arrugas alrededor de los ojos donde la piel se vuelve suelta y fina, volviendo ojeras más visibles e hinchadas.

Hidratar el área alrededor de los ojos puede prevenir la sequedad y aumentar la hidratación, pero no va a eliminar las ojeras. Pero no es todo malo, viva a la ciencia porque hay algunos ingredientes super eficaces que contradicen este proceso de envejecimiento, corrigen danos y los previenen de ocurrir en el futuro.

Para esto, un producto para los ojos debe funcionar a nivel celular, transformando la piel desde dentro. Para que tenga cualquier beneficio, estos son tres pasos esenciales relacionados con la elastina que deben ser seguidos para revocar las señales de envejecimiento. Debe ser creada, convertida y organizada en la piel.

Obagi ha creado una gama de productos de ojos probada clínicamente para restaurar la salud de la piel y su apariencia radiante, la gama de productos de ELASTIderm® ofrece una eficacia increíble y resultados visibles en 2 semanas. Esto gracias al innovador ingrediente llamado Bi-Mineral Contour Complex™ que combina Cobre y Zinc con Malonato.

Comprar la gama ELASTIderm®

Bi-Mineral Contour Complex™ ha sido desarrollado específicamente para asistir las tres fases necesarias al desarrollo sano de elastina. Es este trio cargado de minerales que restaura la elastina, tensa la piel suelta y aumenta la resiliencia de la piel muy rápido, revelando piel más sana y suavizando visiblemente la apariencia de líneas de expresión y arrugas.

Para los que sufren de ojeras, recomendamos en particular el Obagi ELASTIderm® Eye Serum. Esta fórmula sedosa y leve también incluye las propiedades antioxidantes y anti inflamatorias de la Cafeína, que juntamente con el Bi-Mineral Contour Complex™ tensan y aclaran la piel y con uso regular, transforman las ojeras y la hinchazón.

Consejos de cuidado de piel de invierno para mantener a piel hidratada

El aire frio de invierno puede dejar nuestra piel con una sensación de sed, sensible, como que te pica, y en casos peores escamosa o hasta con brechas. ¡Ouch!

Ahora es definitivamente tiempo de tomar acción para prevenir la secura de invierno y sus efectos negativos. Mientras pueda parecer difícil, es relativamente sencillo mantener nuestra piel en buenas condiciones durante esta temporada. Con extra hidratación y nutrición, incorporadas en tu rutina diaria, tu piel se quedará hidratada y sana.

¿Por qué nuestra piel sufre en invierno?

Puede ser la temporada de buenas acciones, pero no te equivoques, la piel está constantemente bajo el ataque del frio.

Es porque el aire de invierno no retiene tan bien la humedad, lo que significa que hay menos agua flotando, y los vientos frio del ártico pueden dejar nuestra piel expuesta y vulnerable. Para no mencionar que los rayos UV siguen siendo una amenaza, especialmente cuando nieva. Reflejándose en la nieve lo torna más perjudiciales y hacen daño en nuestras células.

Pero no hay como escapar estando dentro de casa, porque nuestra calefacción disuelve toda la humedad del aire y de nuestra piel también. Hasta lujos simples como un baño caliente o estando junto a la chimenea pueden secar tu piel. Si hay algo que no puedes hacer en invierno, es distraerte.

1. Sigue bebiendo agua

Mantener tu cuerpo hidratado en el interior y exterior es crucial para combatir la secura de invierno. Puedes no sentir la necesidad de beber tanta agua en invierno, pero es tan importante ahora para la salud de tu cuerpo. Como en cualquier otra estación. Prueba una de estas botellas que te ensenan cuanto debes beber durante el día, o incluso puedes tomarte una taza de agua caliente, que es mejor que no beber agua.

2. Baño y duchas calientes

La idea de tomarte un baño largo y caliente en un día frio de invierno suena maravilloso. Es mejor para tu piel si te duchas o tomas un baño rápido y no pases mucho tiempo en el agua caliente, ya que eso te ayudará a prevenir tu piel delicada de quedarse seca. Y i tu piel se Vuelve roja mientras te duchas o bañas, es una señal que la temperatura del agua está demasiado caliente.

3. Utiliza una crema hidratante duradera

Para mantener las células de la piel nutridas del interior al exterior, es importante utilizar una crema hidratante duradera, testada dermatológicamente como la Obagi Hydrate®. Clínicamente probada para proporcionar hidratación continua hasta 8 horas, su eficacia increíble puede ser atribuida al ingrediente innovador llamado Hydromanil™. Estas moléculas son capaces de formar una matriz en la superficie de la piel, previniendo la perdida de humedad, mientras simultáneamente capturan moléculas de agua, y libertan continuamente componentes nutritivos en la piel. Hay también otros ingredientes naturales enriquecedores como mantequilla de karité, mantequilla de mango y aceite de aguacate, para suavizar y mata la sed a la piel deshidratada. Esta fórmula hipoalergénica y que no causa irritaciones es ideal para pieles secas o sensibles durante el invierno.

4. Prueba un humidificador

Invertir en un humidificador para tu casa o espacio de trabajo es una forma de añadir humedad al aire de invierno. Utilízalo en la división sonde pasas la mayor parte del tiempo para obtener máximos beneficios.

5. Cambia tu limpiador

En esta estación del año, es mejor utilizar un limpiador más suave, cremoso o que contenga componentes activos que ayuden a retener humedad. El Obagi Nu-Derm® Fx Gentle Cleanser es un gel suavizante con una fórmula que remueve maquillaje, suciedad, y residuos de grasas, sin la Perdida de humedad.

Comprar OBAGI NU-DERM® FX GENTLE CLEANSER

Amino Ácidos de Avena tienen propiedades limpiadoras, mientras el antioxidante aloe contrarresta lo danos causados por los rayos UV. Pero el verdadero secreto de este limpiador de invierno es que contiene una combinación eficaz de nutridores y retenedores de humedad.

Pantenol ayuda la piel a retener humedad y a disminuir la cantidad de agua que se evapora a través de las camadas exteriores de la piel. Glicerina también está incluida, funcionando como un humidificador, trayendo humedad. Con un conjunto de ingredientes activos, no es sorpresa ninguna que la piel se quede perfectamente limpia, radiante y preparada para los productos siguientes.

6. Utiliza protector solar

Aunque el protector solar es regularmente omitido de las rutinas de cuidado de piel de invierno, es recomendado por la Fundación de Cáncer de la Piel (Skin Cancer Foundation). Esto porque aun en días gris. Los rayos UV pueden dañar la piel. Más aún si hay nieve en el suelo, ya que refleja esos rayos.

Aplica el Obagi Sun Shield Matte™ SPF50, con formula transparente, como el último paso en tu rutina por las mañanas, antes de tu maquillaje. Con protección de amplio espectro de los rayos UVA y UVB, puedes quedarte relajado, y seguro que tu piel se queda protegida.

Complete Your Obagi Skincare Set With OBAGI360 Retinol

There are so many misconceptions about retinol. It’s only for mature skin. Those with sensitivity shouldn’t use it. Retinol is dangerous and damaging. In fact, none of these statements are accurate. Retinol can be used by those with younger skin. There are of course retinol products which are suitable for sensitive skin and when used correctly, it is neither dangerous or damaging.

This much-hailed miracle ingredient is also one of the most effective anti-ageing treatments available today. And what’s more, the younger you start using it the better. Why? Because you’ll be future-proofing your skin and defending it from the signs of premature ageing.

The Science of Retinol

Despite our innate desire to appear youthful no matter our age, the body’s skin cell turnover slows down the older we get. Collagen and Elastin deplete resulting in a loss of skin elasticity and firmness. The outcome of this natural ageing process is an increase in fine lines, wrinkles, crepiness and dullness. It’s not a great advert for growing old! Of course, on the flipside many wonderful things do happen to us as we mature. Just not to our skin.

The good news is that retinol can counteract the visible effects of ageing. It does this by boosting skin cell turnover, and the knock-on effect is an increase in collagen production within the dermis. By doing so, elasticity is improved, and skin appears more youthful, far smoother and thank the lord, fine lines, wrinkles and crow’s feet are visibly diminished.

When Should I Use Retinol?

If you’re in a younger age-group, you may not have considered using retinol before. For certain, wrinkles seem a universe away. But you like sunbathing right? And let’s admit it, you’re partial to the odd alcoholic drink. Oh! And before you forget, didn’t you miss a night of sleep recently? Be honest, can you always be bothered to remove your make-up or even moisturise at night and as for your diet….when exactly was the last time you hit your five a day? Or is it seven a day now? The point is that your lifestyle choices may seem inconsequential but environmental factors add up as the years pass by. Over time, skin becomes damaged, and then one day you wake up, and there it is. Your first fine line or wrinkle. It shouldn’t come as a surprise but it always does.

SHOP OBAGI® RETINOIDS

Retinol for Acne and Blemishes

Starting early with retinol minimises those frustrating signs of ageing. Not only that, but it prevents skin damage from happening, keeping your skin looking youthful for longer. The benefits of retinol’s anti-ageing properties are quite evident. But there’s another perk for the younger age-group too. Increased cell turnover also keeps pores clear and reduces acne, blemishes or enlarged pores. After continuous use, skin looks clearer and healthier.

How to Use Retinol

There’s no doubt that retinol is a powerful active ingredient. Subsequently it can take skin a little while to adjust to some retinol products on the market. You might have heard people talking about redness, dryness and some minor irritation.

Obagi® takes skin irritation extremely seriously. So much so, that they have carried out extensive research and conducted skin trials to assess irritation from their retinol products after 3 weeks. For this reason, you should be completely reassured that Obagi® retinol products are minimally irritating.

OBAGI360® System

A comprehensive skincare system will help you to achieve optimal results from your skincare products. That’s because products within a skincare system, have been created to work synergistically and complement one another.

The OBAGI360® system has been specifically formulated for those within the 20-30 age-group, to preserve youthful looking skin. Enlarged pores, acne and blemishes are also common concerns amongst this age-group. Obagi360® tackles all of these common concerns, leaving skin fresh, purified and all importantly, clearer.

SHOP OBAGI360® SYSTEM

If you’re already using the OBAGI360® system, it’s definitely time to consider adding retinol to your repertoire. Our advice is to begin with a low strength product and gradually build up. This allows your skin time to get used to it. OBAGI360® Retinol 0.5 is the perfect complement to anyone using the OBAGI360® system and it can also be used as a starter product if you’ve never used retinol before.

This low-level retinol cream helps improve complexion and smooths uneven texture. With consistent use, skin looks clearer, with less blemishes and of course, as with all retinol products, more youthful. Set a foundation in place now for a lifetime of beautiful skin and reap the benefits of retinol now, tomorrow and in the future.

Discover Your One Way Ticket To Radiant Skin For Summer 2022

Only a few weeks left until we can officially say it’s summer. A season most people longed for all year but once it suddenly arrives, we find ourselves unprepared. Our wardrobe needs an update, our hair might need a refresher and our skin could use a little pick-me-up. But fear not, it’s not too late to achieve radiant skin before summertime. By updating your daily skincare routine with a couple of summer skincare essentials, you will have brighter-looking, glowing skin by the time summer makes its appearance. In this blog, we will help you to discover your one way ticket to radiant skin so you can glow all summer long.

SKIN-BRIGHTENING PRODUCTS

THE FUNCTION OF VITAMIN C IN SKINCARE PRODUCTS

You will probably know that Vitamin C is found in many foods such as oranges, raspberries, broccoli and potatoes but did you also know that you can find Vitamin C in skincare products? Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that we need to repair tissue and the enzymatic production of certain neurotransmitters. For that reason, Vitamin C, also known as L-ascorbic acid, can be found in many serums, gels and other skincare products as it has many healing properties. Not only does Vitamin C help to brighten the skin and reveal more radiant-looking skin, but it also diminishes the appearance of ageing. Once you get older, you will likely notice that your skin starts to become more saggy, lose its elasticity and start to show more fine lines and wrinkles. This is the natural process of ageing, but that doesn’t mean that there’s nothing you can do to slow it down. By applying skincare products with Vitamin C or other anti-ageing ingredients, collagen production will be stimulated and your skin’s elasticity and firmness will improve.

OUR FAVOURITE SKINCARE PRODUCTS FOR RADIANT SKIN

By simply updating the products you’re currently using in your everyday skincare routine, you can improve the look and feel of your skin to get ready for summer 2022. As we understand that there are many products to choose from, we have listed our three favourite products for radiant skin below.

1. OBAGI PROFESSIONAL-C® SERUM

The first product, which might also be our favourite, is the Obagi Professional-C ® Serum. This serum can be bought in three different strengths: 10%, 15% or 20%. This allows you to adapt the serum to your skin which will ensure the best results. Obagi Professional-C® Serum contains Vitamin C to brighten the skin and minimise the appearance of ageing.

BUY OBAGI PROFESSIONAL-C® SERUM

2. OBAGI NU-DERM® BLEND FX

Obagi Nu-Derm ® Blend Fx is a skin-brightening cream that uses 7% Arbutin and Lactic Acid to reveal brighter skin. Arbutin is a naturally occurring plant extract that treats the signs of hyperpigmentation and will therefore help to achieve radiant-looking skin.

3. OBAGI-C® FX CLARIFYING SERUM

Last, but definitely not least we recommend adding the Obagi-C ® Fx Clarifying Serum to your daily skincare routine. This facial serum contains 7% Arbutin and 10% L-ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C).

Why You Need A Vitamin C Serum In Your Routine For Glowing Skin

With summer days approaching quickly, it’s time to give your skin some extra love and make it glow. We are all longing for warmer days, tanned skin and a dewy, radiant complexion, so let’s make this happen. During the winter, your skin will likely need different things than it will in summer and therefore, we recommend updating your skincare routine for the upcoming season. Add a Vitamin C serum to your routine to achieve that glowy look and prepare your skin for summer 2022.

WHAT DOES A VITAMIN C SERUM DO?

Vitamin C, also known as L-ascorbic acid, is a powerful antioxidant that protects the skin from free radical damage, a known cause of premature ageing.

As we get older, our collagen production slows down, which will cause our skin to start sagging, lose its elasticity and reveal fine lines and wrinkles. By using a Vitamin C Serum, your skin’s natural collagen production will be stimulated, resulting in glowing, youthful-looking skin. Besides having anti-ageing properties, a Vitamin C serum will also help to give your skin a brighter, more radiant complexion.

The benefits don’t stop there, Vitamin C is very effective at giving your sunscreen an extra boost, as it helps to protect your skin from damage caused by the sun. In short, if there’s one product that should definitely be included in your summer skincare regimen, it’s a Vitamin C serum.

WHAT IS THE BEST VITAMIN C SERUM?

When you start your search for a Vitamin C Serum, you will likely come across a wide range of options. So wide, that it might start to stress you out. Thankfully, we have listed the best Vitamin C Serums for your skin so your decision is narrowed down to a small list. The Obagi Professional-C® Portfolio consists of products that contain Vitamin C to boost collagen production, give your skin a glowing complexion and protect your skin from damage caused by UV rays. Obagi Professional-C® Serum is a luxurious and intense Vitamin C serum that is available in three different strengths: 10%, 15% and 20%. Depending on your skin type and your previous experience with Vitamin C products, you can decide what strength works best for you. If you have sensitive skin, we recommend going for the 10% Vitamin C serum.

BUY OBAGI PROFESSIONAL-C® SERUM

WHAT BENEFITS DOES THE OBAGI PROFESSIONAL-C® SERUM HAVE?

The Vitamin C serum by Pure Obagi is known for its effectiveness in fighting the signs of ageing. Over time, ageing skin develops fine lines, wrinkles and it will lose its elasticity and firmness, with saggy skin as a result. Obagi Professional-C® Serum contains between 10-20% L-ascorbic Acid, which helps to stimulate collagen production and makes your skin look more youthful. When the serum is used in combination with the entire Obagi Professional-C® Portfolio, your skin will rapidly show improvement.

ANOTHER FAVOURITE: OBAGI-C® FX CLARIFYING SERUM

If you’re looking for a serum that will effectively brighten your skin, the Obagi-C® Fx Clarifying Serum will meet all your desires. This serum contains both 10% L-ascorbic Acid and 7% Arbutin, a clinically proven skin-brightening and pigmentation-busting agent. Arbutin is an ingredient that helps to improve your skin’s appearance of hyperpigmentation which will create a more even complexion. The perfect serum for summertime, if you ask us!

Do Night Creams Really Work and What Are Alternatives?

If you’re new to skincare, you might be wondering about the effects skincare products claim to have. After all, can a cream actually transform your skin? Yes, it can. Depending on the skincare brand you’re going for, they have the ability to achieve real results. Obagi® is a luxury skincare brand that develops products specially-formulated to transform the skin from within, resulting in younger, healthier-looking skin and a more confident you. Of course, it’s important to stay realistic as you cannot expect a cream to fully transform your skin overnight. Skincare is about persistence and routine, which is why real results will be achieved if you are consistent. Our skincare experts recommend composing a morning and evening routine, where you fully dedicate five to twenty minutes of your time to your skin. Night creams are a common part of evening skincare routines, but do they actually work and what do they really do?

WHAT DOES A NIGHT CREAM DO?

The working of night creams is not limited to one treatment, as they come in many different variations, strengths and results. Generally speaking, any cream that does not contain SPF is a night cream, as you will need the protection against UV rays during the day. Most people use a cream, but a serum, lotion or gel could be used as well. The main target of a night cream is to keep the skin hydrated throughout the night. On average, we sleep six to eight hours every single night, which means our skin will be left alone for quite some time. To ensure hydration, a moisturising night cream can be used to maintain the moisture levels in the skin.

You might be looking for a night cream with a bigger impact, because you’re struggling with spots, extremely dry skin or ageing skin. Luckily, each night cream comes with a different working which makes them unique.

ALTERNATIVES TO NIGHT CREAMS

People are often fixated on using a night cream as a part of their evening skincare routine, when there are a lot of other effective products available that work even better. One of our favourite products to use during our nighttime skincare routine is the Obagi-C® Fx Clarifying Serum. As the name suggests, this is a facial serum which contains the key ingredients Arbutin and Vitamin C. 7% Arbutin is used to improve the appearance of hyperpigmentation for a more even complexion. It’s known for its skin-brightening properties. Vitamin C, or L-ascorbic Acid, reduces signs of ageing by diminishing fine lines and wrinkles. By applying Obagi-C® Fx Clarifying Serum every evening before going to bed, your skin will transform itself during the night. A great alternative to a night cream, if you ask us!

EVENING SKINCARE ROUTINE

We believe that skincare is about unleashing your skin’s full potential by using innovative skincare products that have proven to be effective in treating skin concerns. To achieve the maximum results, consistency is key. In other words, to get the best out of your skincare products, it’s important to use them on a daily basis. By setting up an evening skincare routine, it will get easier to be consistent which will help your skin the most. Always start off by cleansing the face, to get rid of any makeup, dirt or oil that’s built up on the skin. Obagi-C® Cleansing Gel is an effective 2-in-1 cleanser that helps to remove dirt and minimise the appearance of ageing at the same time. Next, Obagi-C® Balancing Toner can be used to brighten up the skin followed by the clarifying serum to get your skin ready for the night.

2. OBAGI-C® FX CLARIFYING SERUM

Next in line is the Obagi-C® Fx Clarifying Serum, which is a luxury skincare product that is designed to lighten and brighten skin. This facial serum is particularly rich in Vitamin C and Arbutin, which are key ingredients in anti-ageing and skin-brightening. Vitamin C, also known as L-ascorbic Acid, helps to boost collagen products which will minimise fine lines, wrinkles and other signs of skin-ageing. The Obagi-C® Fx Clarifying Serum also contains 7% Arbutin, which works by improving the appearance of hyperpigmentation and creates a more even complexion. Using the brightening serum on a regular, preferably daily, basis will create a healthy, more radiant glow on your skin.

3. OBAGI PROFESSIONAL-C® SERUM

Our best-seller, using L-ascorbic Acid is the Obagi Professional-C® Serum. The entire Obagi Professional-C® Portfolio consists of highly effective skincare products that contain Vitamin C to diminish signs of ageing on the skin. This Vitamin C serum is available in three different strengths: 10%, 15% and 20%. Your preferred strength of Vitamin C will differ depending on your skin type and whether your skin is used to this type of product. If you have sensitive skin, we highly recommend using the 10% as it is more gentle on the skin. Where those with oily skin will benefit from using 20%.

4. OBAGI ELASTIDERM® EYE COMPLETE COMPLEX SERUM

A luxury serum that specifically targets the under-eye area is the Obagi ELASTIderm® Eye Complete Complex Serum. This serum has been formulated by our skincare experts to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles under the eyes. Obagi’s Eye Serum uses a rollerball technique and caffeine to restore ageing eyes, minimise puffiness and soothe the skin underneath the eyes. As the skin under your eyes is extremely delicate and vulnerable, this will likely be the first place that skin-ageing is showing. By using an anti-ageing eye serum in your twenties and thirties, you have the possibility to reduce crow’s feet and fine lines that begin to form near your eyes.

Drinking Lots Of Water, But Your Skin Looks Dry and Dull? Have You Tried Obagi Hydrate?

It would seem a sensible enough notion that if you drink lots of water, your skin will become adequately hydrated. Certainly, skin tends to look clearer because water helps the body get rid of waste products. The problem is that skin loses water through invisible evaporation. Even though you might be getting your daily fill of H2O, it probably won’t be at the same rate as the skin’s water content depletes. There may be other reasons why your complexion is looking dry and dull too. Poor diet, alcohol, hormonal changes, genetics and external factors like weather and seasonal changes can all affect moisture content.

To ensure that your skin is optimally hydrated, It’s important to use a moisturiser that supports the skin’s natural barrier function. This can be achieved by using ingredients that nourish and replenish water levels. Even more importantly, a barrier needs to be supported to prevent water loss and instead, to retain it within the layers of skin.

SIGNS OF DRY SKIN

If skin looks dry, flaky, less supple, with fine lines or wrinkles forming, and you notice that it’s natural radiance has diminished, poor water content may be behind it.

Using a moisturiser morning and evening to replenish and lock in moisture is crucial in maintaining a good level of skin hydration. ‘But I’m already doing that’ I hear you say. Many moisturisers on the market only hydrate skin for a short period of time though. On it goes in the morning, skin feels nourished, you feel satisfied and off you go. Only, a few hours later, it’s not as smooth and now is looking decidedly dry and dehydrated all over again. Oh dear.

We need an instant hit of moisture but, we need something more. A formula that prevents water loss, and continuously hydrates skin throughout the day will provide optimal hydration. For this to happen, the moisturiser must work at a deep, cellular level, not just topically.

HAVE YOUR TRIED OBAGI HYDRATE®?

If you haven’t tried this must-have hydrator yet, frankly you should. Why? Because Obagi Hydrate® is the ultimate weapon to fight skin dryness.

Clinically proven to improve moisture content, this formula has been shown to provide moisturisation for up to 8 hours. That’s all day!

Obagi Hydrate® is a scientifically backed moisturiser that does so much more than simply nourish skin. It also transforms skin cells from within, corrects damage and protects against environmental stressors. This dermatologist tested product is your absolute go-to daily moisturiser.

HOW DOES OBAGI HYDRATE® WORK?

The secret to its long-lasting hydration is an ingredient named Hydromanil™. Derived from the Tara Seed, Hydromanil™ molecules form a matrix on the skin’s surface.

Dehydrated skin is immediately nourished, but unlike other hydrators that give a short intensive boost of moisture, Hydromanil™ prevents further water loss through the barrier that’s been formed and holds water in the layers of the skin. This enables it to gradually deliver nourishment from active compounds over time ensuring longer-lasting hydration.

It’s also loaded with other enriching natural ingredients including Shea Butter, Mango Butter and Avocado Oil. With continuous use, dry and dull skin will soon be forgotten. Skin looks healthier, more supple, visible signs of ageing are diminished and younger, radiant looking skin is revealed.

OBAGI HYDRATE LUXE®

You wouldn’t expect Obagi® to leave it at that. Oh no no! They’ve only gone and created an utterly gorgeous night-time hydrator to complement Obagi Hydrate®.

Meet the gloriously rich Obagi Hydrate Luxe®. Forget rich, greasy overnight moisturisers, this one comes in the form of a luxurious balm-like texture. This night-time formulation has been developed to give extra-strength moisturisation overnight and it syncs with the nightly functions to repair and renew the skin.

Hydromanil™ technology ensures that this nightly hydrator provides instant and continuous hydration, clinically proven for up to 8 hours. Powerful anti-ageing key biomimetic peptides also support the skin’s natural barrier function. Signature ingredients, Shea Butter, Mango Butter and Avocado Oil are there to provide intense nourishment, leaving skin beautifully soft to the touch. If you wonder why your skin looks so radiant in the morning, that’s because this moisturiser also naturally exfoliates throughout the night without loss of hydration.
