In the cosmetics sector there is a wide variety of ingredients that offer a solution for (almost) all skin needs, but really which are the most effective? It is normal to have a lot of doubt about this, but The Beauty Concept’s team of professionals, with more than 15 years of experience in the sector and thousands of diagnoses performed, analyze the three most valuable ingredients in a correct and daily beauty routine.
The first step will always be to put yourself in the hands of a professional who will carry out a correct diagnosis of the skin so that you can follow it up. “In this way we can carry out an adequate daily care plan with the right ingredients and adapted to each skin type,” explains Paz Torralba.
Laura López, dermatologist and esthetician at The Beauty Concept, favors these three ingredients as essential in choosing which ones are effective, safe and most importantly “that never go out of style compared to others that may seem more innovative”.
Hyaluronic Acid
“This substance, which occurs naturally in the skin, acts as a moisturizing agent. Hyaluronic Acid helps maintain skin hydration – essential to keep it young and elastic –, repairs the skin barrier and fights visible signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles. As we age, the natural production of hyaluronic acid decreases and therefore it is necessary to apply products with this active ingredient and of different molecular weights so that some penetrate and others remain in the dermis and act on the different layers of the skin. skin. skin. It contributes to a smoother appearance and helps fill in wrinkles and expression lines.”
retinol
“Its properties help the formation of collagen and elastin, two of the main proteins that give skin firmness. In this way, it helps reduce wrinkles while reversing sun damage, improving acne and scarring, reducing blemishes and improving skin texture.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C has become a very important ingredient in high-end cosmetics, mainly because of its powerful anti-sagging and smoothing effect. It is a powerful antioxidant whose main purpose is to slow down the premature aging of the skin caused by external aggressions, especially by solar radiation. This powerful active ingredient is responsible for neutralizing the free radicals that cause oxidative stress and stopping the appearance of wrinkles and skin spots, as well as participating in collagen regeneration.
