Your New Year skincare essentials

• December 27, 2023

Beauties, as we bid farewell to the old and embrace the new, it’s the perfect time to have a look at some new healthy habits that our skin will love. After all, gorgeous skin is a testament to the habits we nurture and the trends we embrace. So, this year, let’s make our resolutions all about beautiful glowing skin 🌸💆‍♀️

Just like a love story, skincare is about commitment, dedication, and a sprinkle of Dr. Costi’s expert advice. So get ready to make 2024 the year where our skin shines brighter than ever before with these 5 trending skin care essentials🌟✨

1. Algae

Because algae are able to withstand harsh ocean conditions, they have incredible defence systems and those systems can greatly benefit our skin. They contain antioxidants that decrease the enzymes in the body that are responsible for destroying collagen, while also containing high levels of vitamin C.

They help to balance skin tone, brighten skin, fight acne as well as clear up pores. Need we say more?

Algae offer intensive nourishment for a smoother and younger-looking complexion!

2. Caffeine

Caffeine in a cup of coffee does wonders to help the brain wake up, and now we know that it can do the same thing for the skin.

Many of these benefits include: decreased inflammation, fewer wrinkles, brighter skin, and improved circulation.

Caffeine is especially used for products for the under-eye area which is difficult to treat because the skin is thin and very sensitive to environmental factors which produce dark circles (not sleeping well, too much salt, too many UV rays)

Caffeine is great to reduce the appearance of dark circles, puffiness and fine lines.

3. Resveratrol

The biggest organ in your body, your skin, needs more vitamins and minerals to keep healthy. Resveratrol is a polyphenol, a compound that is packed with antioxidants and other benefits. It’s most commonly found in the skin of red grapes.

This antioxidant can fight fine lines and wrinkles, boost skin firmness, calm inflammation and lessen discoloration. Resveratrol supports the skin’s natural defences and reveals a tighter, brighter complexion.

4. Stress management

It’s true, we always talk about stress, but really how can we avoid it? According to a study in the Dermatology Online Journal, psychological stress results in immune system dysfunction, DNA damage, as well as endocrine and immunological regulation, all of which speed up the ageing process of the skin.

The truth is, we can’t avoid it, but we can manage it. By taking some time off, being more mindful, and allowing your body to recover for a while. This is easy with the help of the in-clinic services at Dr. Costi House of Beauty. Whether it’s a facial or a full body IPL, a contouring treatment or a laser hair removal session, discover the full range of care dedicated to your wellbeing.

5. Vitamin C under your SPF

Beauties and gentlemen, let us introduce you to the power couple of sun protection: vitamin C and SPF. They’re also good alone, but so much better together.

Layer your Vitamin C serum under your SPF for a double dose of protection against free radicals and sun damage, because when sunscreen and vitamin C are applied together, their benefits multiply. This powerful duo will ensure that your skin stays shielded throughout the day.

And now beauties we won’t say goodbye, we’ll say Until we meet again in 2024. Stay glowing, stay fabulous, and always let your inner beauty shine through 💖🌟✨Happy New Year!
