In the wild, varied world of skincare, there’s one thing that separates the good from the amazing. It’s not the gorgeous packaging or the captivating social campaigns—it’s the ingredients. We all know it’s what’s inside that counts and that’s never more true than when we’re talking about results. High-quality ingredients offer better performance and boast a multitude of benefits for your skin.
We’re delving into the importance of ingredients just in time for Skincare Awareness Month. Read on to hear what goes into our cult-favorite, elastin skincare formulas and what they can do for your skin.
Why does the quality of ingredients make a difference?
The obvious answer is effectiveness. Premium ingredients are backed by research, studied in clinical trials and proven to do what they promise. It’s the difference between a drawer full of disappointment and a well-curated vanity with products you reach for again and again.
Beyond their superior effectiveness, better ingredients usually mean better absorption, allowing the product to penetrate deeper and offer long-term benefits like improvement in the appearance of skin texture, tone and that indescribably fresh “glow.”
What are some of the best ingredients to help maintain bouncy, beautiful skin?
NULASTIN’s ingredient blend is second to none and we love talking about the powerhouse abilities of our lineup. When you smooth on our Intensive Hydrating Serum and Rejuvenating Facial Moisturizer, you’ll notice instant rehydration. That’s the hyaluronic acid at work.
Hyaluronic acid is a vegan humectant (a substance that retains moisture) capable of binding over one thousand times its weight in water. It boosts the skin’s hydration levels, prevents water loss and reinforces the moisture barrier. With continued use, you may see lines and wrinkles diminishing for an overall smoother appearance. It’s not your imagination.
Our Biodesigned Elastin is a biomimetic elastin protein that helps strengthen skin, supports natural elastin and collagen production and visibly improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. As we age, we naturally lose elastin, but by continually supplementing with a high-quality, elastin skincare regimen, you can recapture what’s lost.
Biodesigned Signal Peptides and our Biodesigned Regenatez® Complex also work in tandem to improve skin tone, reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation and offer antioxidant benefits to protect skin from the damaging effects of free radicals.
But if you want the best of these ingredients, you have to start with a clean canvas and not all cleansers are created equal.
What should you expect from your cleanser?
It should be effective, tackling dirt, debris and dead skin. It should be gloriously invigorating and it should smell divine. We just refreshed our Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser with these things in mind. It has a clean, citrusy scent and creates a satisfying, sudsy coverage that rinses beautifully.
The problem with many physical exfoliants is that the materials are too harsh. They can dry and strip the skin, leading to irritation, flaking and chronic dehydration. You also want your exfoliant to be gentle and skin-loving. Our cleanser is made with soft jojoba grit that’s substantial enough to slough off dead skin but mild enough for daily use.
Quality + Simplicity = The Perfect Routine
When you’re using the best ingredients, you don’t need a 10-step routine. A few key products are all you need to start seeing results. We love an easy, three-step routine with a good cleanser to prep the skin, followed by a multitasking serum and moisturizer that are filled with hyaluronic acid, Biodesigned Elastin, Biodesigned Signal Peptides and our Biodesigned Regenatez® Complex. Together, these products boost radiance, visibly improve elasticity and firmness and brighten from within.
This Skincare Awareness Month, reset and streamline your routine with better ingredients. NULASTIN offers world class elastin skincare. By being more selective and avoiding cheaply formulated alternatives, you can invest in the health and appearance of your complexion at any age.
