Is there really a secret to holding back time?
The answer is yes: Vitamin A
Some savvy skincare enthusiasts may already know why we at Casabella Beauty & Aesthetics often harp on about how good Vitamin A is and its role in keeping skin healthy, but for those that need a bit of convincing, read on and you may understand our love of this super molecule.
So how can Vitamin A hold back time?
Known by many for its antioxidant and peeling effects in treatment creams and retinols, Vitamin A is the key molecule for regulating skin growth, differentiation, and maturation - processes essential for maintaining healthy, youthful skin. Not only does this super molecule help to reverse all the signs of photo-ageing, it boosts the production of our own hyaluronic acid, which keeps the skin hydrated, plump and firm.
In a nutshell, this super molecule normalises the skin by: -
- Combating photo-ageing by activating growth factors and stimulating keratinocytes and fibroblasts to maintain collagen and elastin - key elements for firm elastic skin.
- Boosting hyaluronic acid, keeping the skin hydrated, plump & firm.
- Regulating pigmentation and balancing skin tone, leading to a more even complexion.
DID YOU KNOW?
95% of us are simply not getting enough Vitamin A
Unfortunately, daily sun exposure leaves our skin deficient in this vital nutrient, which consequently speeds up signs of premature ageing. Add to this the natural decline in production of hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin as we age, with levels of collagen and elastin dropping by up to 50% by the time we reach menopause (ouch!!!), replenishing the skin with Vitamin A becomes even more vital.
DID YOU KNOW?
Maintaining healthy skin with Vitamin A has been given the stamp of approval by the European Food Standard Authority (EFSA)
So, with this knowledge in mind, for healthy, normal skin, an effective skincare regime should recommend Vitamin A as the ultimate skin nutrient to maintain skin health. Here's what we recommend: -
- Supplement your balanced diet with Vitamin A: Skin Vit A+
- Incorporate Vitamin A into your skincare routine with a Vitamin A treatment cream and/or retinols: Vita- Antioxidant Avst Moisturisers 1 - 5, Vita- Peptide C-Quence Serum 1 -4, Tri-Retinoid Complex Retinol Serum, Tri-Retinoid Complex Retinol Serum Forte, Dynamic Skin Retinol Serum, Retin-ACETM - CellDerma (AFFILLIATE CODE 370300)
