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
Your skin might appear a bit dull after a long winter so it’s time to get your skin looking brighter and more radiant just before summer starts. The Obagi Nu-Derm Fx® System is perfect for this as the products contain skin-brightening properties that help your skin to look more radiant. Most products in the Obagi-Nu Derm® range contain 7% Arbutin, which is a potent key ingredient that is both natural and effective at reducing pigmentation and boosting radiance. As Obagi’s products are formulated synergistically, the most results will be achieved when using the entire system on a daily basis.
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.
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). This combination of active ingredients makes the product highly effective in treating hyperpigmentation which will result in brighter-looking, more radiant skin. Exactly what you need before summer 2022!
