WHAT'S ALL THE HYPE ABOUT VITAMIN A?
So many times, people ask why I am so passionate about medical-grade skincare products and why they are different for gaining results and preventing skin aging.
It all begins with the letter A - Vitamin A.
We all know vitamins are essential to our body's health and overall function. And if the skin is the largest organ we have, it has got to be calling out for some attention in the vitamin attention we give our bodies. It can be challenging to find the right skincare product line, and make decisions that we hope our bodies will respond to and be better for.
Add to that, we want to age gracefully and have beautiful skin. Topical attention through medical-grade skincare products can be beneficial to our skin's overall appearance and health. The skin is an organ that is proven to be very responsive to the absorption of Vitamin A when applied topically.
Our lifestyles and environmental factors reduce our natural Vitamin A levels, and this reduction is the root cause of unhealthy looking skin.
As a result, Vitamin A can be found in many cosmetic products and can be beneficial for specific skin conditions, including acne and anti-aging. Vitamin A and its nourishing and protective properties help keep your skin radiant, firm and healthy.
So let me introduce you to the magic potion! Vitamin A.
HERE'S WHAT ALL THE HYPE IS ABOUT VITAMIN A AND THE BENEFITS IT CAN HAVE FOR YOUR SKIN.
Simulate Cell growth. Typically, our skin cell turnover takes approximately 30 days, but using Vitamin A speeds up this process to 14-21 days! It is like a natural skin peel! Vitamin A stimulates the developing tissue in the deep layers of the skin that help keep skin healthy and from weakening.
SMOOTHS FINE LINES AND WRINKLES
Smoothing fine lines and wrinkles is the most popular reason my clients want to add Vitamin A to their skincare routine! To combat aging, applying topical Vitamin A in the form of retinol or retinoic acid is a research-proven way to stimulate collagen production and strengthen your skin to fill in the lines below the surface of your skin. The result is your skin will look firmer, feel smoother, and more radiant and youthful.
IMPROVE SKIN CONDITIONS
Vitamin A can be used to manage a variety of skin conditions by unclogging pores and decreasing inflammation. By unclogging those pores full of dead skin cells, bacteria and oil, the process of cell turnover keep those pores clear. Add to that, it supports the skin’s immune system so breakouts are prevented. The results of normalized oil production leave your skin less oily and more balanced. If you are prone to acne, your skin will benefit from Vitamin A.
REJUVENATING RADIANCE
With increased cell turnover, the removal of damaged and pigmented skin tone, and those healthier cells glow in comparison. Boosting your skin radiance and overall complexion tone will leave your skin glowing and brighter.
HYDRATION POWER
Vitamin A supports the immune system and provides natural moisturizing properties that will help hydrate your skin radiantly and quickly. Beautiful skin is a direct result of Vitamin A.
PROTECTS AGAINST THE UBA AND UV SUN RAYS
Vitamin A lessens the skin's sensitivity to the sun and provides some protection against the sun's redness, sunburns and pigmentation that is so harmful to the surface. This means that you can have a little more peace of mind knowing you are combating the likelihood of potential skin cancers. That sunshine we all love is so detrimental to the skin, so adding Vitamin A absorbs those rays without allowing them to seep and do the damage that sun-damaged skin ultimately does.
The truth is that we all suffer naturally from a Chronic deficiency of Vitamin A, and it needs to be replaced for our skin to be calm, resilient and happy. Daily. There are fabulous benefits to ensuring your skin care program is infused with Vitamin A so your skin can happily reap all these benefits!
Environ Skin Care was founded on scientific proof that Vitamin A deficiency causes aging skin so Dr. Des Fernandes developed the STEP UP system with the EssentiA (notice the capital A there) to offer us all the Vitamin A boost our skin needs.
As with any new product, talk to your cosmetic aesthetician if you are wondering about using Vitamin A and have goals for your skin's appearance.
