MORNING SKINCARE ROUTINE

Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic acid draws water to the skin by binding water to skin cells, and is able to hold 1000 times its molecular weight in water. Hyauluronic Acid helps improve hydration and skin turgor. The body's natural reserve of hyaluronic acid declines as we age. That's why it's important to incorporate it into our skincare routine.

Vichy Minéral 89 Skin Fortifying Daily Booster contains hyaluronic acid, as well as glycerin. Daily use of this serum will increase hydration and plump the skin.

Peptide Based Eye Cream

Peptides help to repair and rebuild damaged cells  by triggering skin cells to produce collagen and elastin, slowing down the aging process and increasing firmness. Adding a peptide eye cream to your morning routine is a good way to slow down the signs of aging,     strengthen the skin barrier, build collagen, and also  improve skin elasticity.

​Elemis Peptide4 Eye Recovery Cream combats fine lines, improves elasticity, and reduces the look of fatigue. For best results, use both morning and evening.

Sunscreen

The use of sunscreen on a daily basis will take your skincare routine up a notch. The damage caused by UV rays cannot be seen immediately. It’s after years of sun exposure, that we see the damaging effects that UV radiation has let behind. Implementing a zinc or titanium based SPF to your routine will boost skin protection.
