Key Ingredients & What They Are Doing:
1. Vitamin E
Key Properties: Humectant, Emollient, Antioxidant, Photoprotective, Cellular Turnover & Regeneration
Key Benefits: Soothes, Softens, Hydrates & Protects
Humectant & Emollient: Vitamin E helps the skin to absorb water (humectant) and as an emollient, traps the water within the skin. This dual process strengthens the skin barrier and helps the skin maintain optimal hydration levels for longer.
The vitamin E in the Daily Repair and Protect cream helps to hydrate the skin all day long, achieving a plump, glowing appearance. Therefore, it is great for those with dry skin. The strengthening of the skin barrier minimises the chances of irritation, which is why the SkinBase Essentials range of products are ideal for post-treatment.
Antioxidant: As an antioxidant, vitamin E helps to prevent and counteract skin damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals come from sources such as UVB rays, pollution, dust, smoke, and cleaning products, and break down collagen within the skin. As a result, free radicals are responsible for the appearance of premature signs of ageing.
The vitamin E in the Daily Repair and Protect cream helps to minimise and prevent signs of skin damage, for a smoother, youthful appearance and more even skin tone. As free radical damage often causes discolouration on the skin, the Daily Repair and Protect cream is ideal for individuals who suffer with pigmentation, as it will prevent this damage and help keep the skin bright.
Photoprotective: Vitamin E has photoprotective properties as it absorbs some UVB light from the sun. It does not absorb all UVB light, or any UVA light, so should not be used as sun protection alone. It is a great addition to SPF skincare products.
The vitamin E in the Daily Repair and Protect Cream helps to enhance the UV protection of the SPF 30.
Cellular Turnover & Regeneration: Vitamin E helps to bring new skin cells to the surface quicker, speeding up the turnover and regeneration process. This can help to prevent dullness and signs of premature ageing, as fresh, new skin is continually being revealed, and dead cells do not stay on the surface for too long.
The vitamin E in the Daily Repair and Protect cream helps to visibly improve the skin’s tone and texture with continued use, allowing the turnover and regeneration processes to operate more efficiently. As a result, the Daily Repair and Protect cream is ideal for those with acne prone skin as vitamin E helps to prevent acne scarring and helps to heal existing acne scarring when used consistently.
Vitamin E is especially effective when paired with Vitamin C.
2. Vitamin C
Key Properties: Antioxidant, Anti-Inflammatory, Collagen Boosting, Prevents Water Loss, Inhibits Melanin Production
Key Benefits: Brightens, Firms, Hydrates, Protects & Repairs
Antioxidant
Vitamin C has potent antioxidant action, allowing it to effectively combat free radical toxins to prevent signs of damage on the skin, such as fine lines, wrinkles and discolouration.
The antioxidant action also allows vitamin C to protect the skin and strengthen the skin barrier.
The skin comes into contact with a variety of external sources of free radicals everyday, as well as being affected by internal causes of free radicals. Applying the Daily Repair and Protect cream will ensure protection from these damaging toxins, to avoid unwanted symptoms.
Protect & Strengthen the Skin
As free radical damage is inhibited by the antioxidants in vitamin C, incorporating this ingredient into a broad spectrum sunscreen is the ideal way to offer superior protection from UV light and environmental stressors such as pollution. As well as protecting the skin and preventing damage, vitamin C aids in the skin’s natural regeneration process, repairing past damage to skin cells and strengthening the skin barrier.
Prevents Water Loss
A strong skin barrier is key to keeping the skin hydrated and moisturised. Vitamin C also decreases trans epidermal water loss, which allows for more efficient moisture retention. Therefore, the skin will stay hydrated for longer. Dehydration leads to more visible wrinkles and dullness. Therefore, hydrated skin is beneficial as it appears more plump and youthful, as well as feeling softer to the touch.
The vitamin C in the Daily Repair and Protect cream will help the skin to maintain optimal hydration all day, for a glowing appearance. Therefore, it is a great option for those with dry skin. The greater protection and strengthening of the skin barrier also minimises the chances of skin irritation, which is why the SkinBase Essentials range of products are ideal for post-treatment.
Inhibits Melanin Production
Vitamin C works in a variety of ways to prevent and treat discolouration and hyperpigmentation on the skin. As well as combatting free radical damage, vitamin C also inhibits the enzyme responsible for producing melanin (tyrosinase) to ensure a brighter, more even skin tone.
Individuals dealing with hyperpigmentation should be extra vigilant about SPF application to avoid discolouring their skin further. The Daily Repair and Protect cream is an excellent choice for hyperpigmentation sufferers as the superior UV protection and additional ingredients, such as Vitamin C, will help the skin to appear brighter and prevent further discolouration from appearing.
Anti-Inflammatory
Vitamin C is an anti-inflammatory ingredient which helps to soothe the skin and minimise any redness present. The anti-inflammatory properties also allows for greater control over sebum production, making it a great addition to an acne-prone skincare routine.
When used consistently as recommended, the vitamin C in the Daily Repair and Protect cream can help to minimise redness and swelling, which are common symptoms of an acne-prone complexion. This powerful ingredient can also help improve the look and texture of the skin, for a smoother, more even appearance.
Collagen-Boosting
Collagen production is vital to smooth, youthful skin, and vitamin C is incredibly important in the collagen production process. Increasing levels of vitamin C within your skin by applying it topically is one of the best ways to boost levels of collagen. Therefore, allowing you to achieve firmer, more youthful skin.
Incorporating the Daily Repair and Protect cream into your everyday routine is a great way to maintain optimum collagen levels for as long as possible, to prevent premature signs of ageing on the skin. It is also a great option for more mature skin, as the range of vitamin C benefits will contribute to a smoother, more youthful appearance.
3. Rice Oil
Key Properties: Antioxidant, Anti-Inflammatory, Emollient, Boosts Circulation
Key Benefits: Hydrates, Repairs, Protects & Soothes
Antioxidant
Rice oil delivers a powerful variety of antioxidants, vitamins and fatty acids directly into the skin. Rice oil contains a high percentage of oleic acid, which is highly compatible with natural ingredients already in the skin. Therefore, allowing maximum absorption and enhanced protection from oxidative damage. Oleic acid is non-greasy and does not clog the pores, so it is ideal for all skin types. Another of the vitamins contained within rice oil is gamma oryzanol, a unique form of vitamin E that helps to protect skin against damage and minimises dark spots, circles and blemishes for a rejuvenated appearance.
Oxidative damage comes from a variety of sources in day to day life, both in the body and externally, and can cause a variety of undesirable symptoms. Incorporating the Daily Repair and Protect cream into a consistent routine will ensure protection from these damaging toxins, to maintain healthy skin.
Anti-Inflammatory
Gamma oryzanol also provides anti-inflammatory benefits, by reducing any discomfort caused by skin inflammation and soothing the skin. Rice oil deeply penetrates the skin to deliver a boost of nutrients and alleviate inflammation. The unique fatty acid composition helps to restore balance to the natural moisture barrier without causing further irritation. The non-irritating molecular structure makes it the perfect ingredient for dry, sensitive skin.
When used as recommended, the rice oil in the Daily Repair and Protect cream can help to minimise redness, inflammation and discomfort caused by daily irritations, skin conditions or dryness. Therefore, improving the look and texture of the skin.
Emollient
Rice oil is a powerful moisturiser. The natural lipids are fantastic emollients, working to seal moisture within the skin to prevent dryness and ensure a soft and supple complexion. Squalene occurs naturally within sebum in the skin and is also present in rice oil. Therefore, it is well tolerated by the skin, and helps to restore hydration.
The rice oil in the Daily Repair and Protect cream helps to deeply hydrate the skin, for long lasting moisture. Allowing a plump, glowing appearance all day long. The naturally occurring ingredients are great for those with dry, sensitive and even oily skin, to ensure maximum hydration. So, with the SkinBase Essentials range of products, everyone can benefit from healthy skin.
Boosts Circulation
Rice oil contains a range of micronutrients which work together to create smoother, delicate blood vessels for increased circulation throughout the body. Effective circulation allows the skin to receive enough blood and nutrients to maintain a healthy, youthful glow.
Regular application of the Daily Repair and Protect cream will ensure circulation is operating as efficiently as possible. Massaging the product into the skin when applying can further enhance this benefit, by stimulating the facial muscles and the lymphatic drainage process.
Repairs & Protects
The natural abundance of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals found with rice oil combine to repair skin tissue from within and prevent future damage. Vitamin A contributes to the cellular regeneration process, while vitamin B promotes circulation and speeds up healing, and vitamin E creates a defensive barrier between the skin and environmental stressors. Together, these ingredients prevent UV damage and minimise the signs of premature ageing on the skin.
Regular application of the Daily Repair and Protect cream will flood the skin with a range of repairing, protective ingredients to ensure a consistent, healthy complexion.
Rice oil is particularly effective when paired with Hyaluronic Acid.
4. Hyaluronic Acid
Key Properties: Antioxidant, Humectant, Major Structural Component
Key Benefits: Hydrates, Fortifies & Heals
Humectant
Hyaluronic Acid is all about moisture and hydration, and is crucial to achieving plump, hydrated skin, so it is an excellent ingredient when used in a moisturiser. Topical products that contain Hyaluronic Acid help to restore levels within the body that are depleted by the ageing process and environmental factors. A single HA molecule pulls in water from the environment, holding up to 1000x its own weight in water, and then gradually releases it into the skin, to improve and maintain hydration levels.
The Daily Repair and Protect cream contains Hyaluronic Acid to ensure a steady release of moisture all day long. HA has a lifespan within the body of less than 24 hours due to the natural turnover process of the skin. Approximately 30-50% of hyaluronic acid is broken down and replaced every 24 hours. So, a daily boost of HA when applying the Daily Repair and Protect cream will ensure levels stay high, and the skin stays hydrated.
Fortifies Skin Barrier
Dehydrated skin looks and feels bad, appearing dry, rough and flaky. However, a lack of hydration can also result in an impaired skin barrier. Therefore, the skin is left more vulnerable to external and environmental damage. A compromised skin barrier plays a role in many skin conditions, such as acne or rosacea. By enhancing the hydration and moisture levels of the skin, Hyaluronic Acid fortifies the skin barrier to prevent skin conditions and keep the skin glowing.
Antioxidant
While its primary function is as a hydrator, Hyaluronic Acid has a secondary function of being an antioxidant. HA helps to fight free radicals, protecting the skin from signs of damage, such as fine lines and wrinkles and hyperpigmentation.
Major Structural Component
Facial contours soften with age, as a result of the collagen degradation process. As collagen and elastin fibres break down, the skin begins to sag and lose its plumpness. HA helps to maintain the structural integrity, and supports the ‘scaffolding’ of the skin. Therefore, allowing plump, firmer skin to be maintained for longer.
With frequent usage, the powerful ingredients within the Daily Repair and Protect cream (such as Hyaluronic Acid and vitamin C) will support the efficient production of collagen and elastin fibres to ensure the skin stays firm and strong.
5. UV Filters
Key Properties: Protection, Improved Immune Function
Key Benefits: Protects, Supports & Treats
UV Filters protect the skin from negative consequences of UVA and UVB exposure. The most commonly thought of benefit of UV filters is protection from sunburn. However, they also deliver a wide range of benefits when adopted consistently within a skincare routine.
Photoageing Protection
UV filters have long term benefits when applied daily and are the best defence against premature signs of ageing skin. Low levels of UV radiation do not cause immediately visible effects (as high UV levels do with sunburn) however, this low level damage accumulates over time, resulting in fine lines and wrinkles/discolouration etc.
Prevent & Treat Hyperpigmentation
UV exposure commonly causes and worsens hyperpigmentation patches in the skin. UV filters are the perfect defence to avoid discolouration, regardless of cause.
DNA Damage Protection
UV exposure is a known cause of DNA damage, as free radical toxins wreak havoc within the skin. Without combatting UV exposure and treating the damage, DNA mutations can result in skin cancer. UV filters are the first line of defence against this process. Protection can be enhanced with antioxidants and other active ingredients.
Improved Immune Function
There are a variety of immune cells within the skin. They provide a physical barrier against the external environment and protect from infection and toxins. However, the immune cells within the skin decrease with age, and are incredibly sensitive to UV rays. So, UV filters are key in preventing the depletion of immune cells and in supporting the skin’s immune function.
How & When To Use:
Apply each morning onto cleansed, toned skin to ensure daily hydration and protection in one step.
Using your fingertips and light pressure, apply a small amount of cream to the skin. With upward and outward sweeping motions, to stimulate facial muscles and improve circulation, gently massage the product into the skin. Distribute across the face and neck until the product has fully absorbed.
Take caution near the eye area. Do not apply to broken, damaged skin.
Use after the SkinBase Soothing Toner for the best results.
