Skin Types:
Normal Skin: When all of the skin's functions are in balance, normal skin appears healthy and glowing. It's not dry or oily, pores are not large, and blemishes are rare. But even normal skin is susceptible to damage from environmental stressors which cause that naturally fresh, balanced appearance to diminish. A beautiful, healthy glow can be maintained by keeping skin hydrated and moist with products that encourage equilibrium. Vital Elements Skincare products are made to respect and maintain the optimum pH balance for healthy normal skin. They are also formulated to resist future damage so that skin remains fresh and radiant at all times.
Embrace your skin - helpful suggestions
- The secret to maintaining beautiful, radiant skin is balance. Follow a good daily skin care regimen that includes cleansing, toning, exfoliating and moisturizing to help prevent future skin issues.
- Avoid bar soaps as they tend to be too harsh for the skin and can cause dryness.
- No matter what your skin type, use a protective sunscreen when you are in the sun; don't expose your skin for more than 15 minutes. Don't forget to use sunscreen on your face and the back of your hands because these areas are constantly exposed to the sun's rays.
- Maintain a well balanced diet and exercise regularly to ensure good circulation of vital nutrients to your skin.
Oily Skin: Overproduction of sebum [oil] is often responsible for the pimples, blackheads and whiteheads normally not seen with other skin types. Other factors that contribute to oily skin are hormonal fluctuations, seasonal changes, or a reaction to skin treatments or cleansing products. Oily skin tends to be thicker with visibly large pores and a shiny appearance. These surface conditions attract dirt and bacteria that cause blemishes. Extra attention is required to ensure that oily skin remains clean and healthy.
In an effort to balance itself oily skin tends to produce an abundance of sebum which results in enlarged pores and oily, shiny skin. Oily skin benefits most from a thorough cleansing and exfoliation. A daily skin care program that eliminates blemish causing bacteria without drying the skin is essential. The optimal balance for oily skin is achieved by removing impurities, gently exfoliating and adding botanicals and extracts to work to calm and balance. Embrace your skin - helpful suggestions- Always wash your hands first before cleansing. This will prevent transfer of bacteria to your face.
- Cleanse skin twice daily to remove dirt, oil, pollution and makeup.
- Avoid over scrubbing the skin as this may cause irritation and result in further breakouts.
- Clean cosmetic brushes and sponges weekly to rid of bacterial growth.
- Change pillowcases nightly, as they can harbor bacteria and aggravate breakouts.
Sensitive Skin: Environmental factors such as pollution, harsh weather, smoke, stress, and diet can sensitize skin. Otherwise normal skin can become dry, red or inflamed by artificial ingredients or irritants. Most often, sensitive skin appears thin and delicate with fine pores. It flushes easily and is prone to broken capillaries. Often dry skin is the result of the natural process of aging. The incidence of sensitized skin is increasing as people become intolerant of artificial preservatives and other irritating factors.
Vital Elements Skincare products for Dry or Sensitive Skin encourage normal collagen production, nurture and protect from harsh, drying elements, and aid in the restoration of a healthy moisture balance. Using micro-organic ingredients that assist in cellular restructuring, each product carefully protects the delicate acid mantle while addressing redness and irritation associated with dry, sensitive skin. Emollient oils and natural moisturizing factors provide much needed nourishment leaving skin deeply moisturized and revitalized. Embrace your skin - helpful suggestions- Avoid excessive heat, wash face with warm or tepid water.
- Redness and flushing are caused from over circulation of blood, resulting in visible dilated capillaries close to skin's surface. Although this is usually genetic, it can be exacerbated by sun exposure, spicy foods, temperature extremes, cigarettes, caffeine and alcohol. Avoid these triggers whenever possible to keep skin calm.
- Extreme weather conditions exacerbate and cause dry/sensitive skin – hot and sunny, cold and windy. When indoors do not set your thermostat too high – hot air can be detrimental. Whenever possible use a humidifier.
- Use cleansers, moisturizers, cosmetics, detergents and fabric softeners designed specifically for sensitive skin.
- Treat sensitive skin with care! If your skin is sensitive, you should avoid cleansing grains, brushes and loofahs.
Mature Skin: Mature skin often feels dry, dull, tight or itchy due to a deficiency in the Intracellular Matrix found in the epidermis and a lack of sebum production. As skin age's sebum production gradually slows which can lead to increased dryness and accentuation of fine lines and wrinkles. Advanced deterioration of the delicate intercellular balance eventually lead to skin that appears dull and leathery. The natural process of aging can diminish the appearance of the skin and it's ability to remain in balance when exposed to the elements, urban congestion [pollution, smog] or hormonal changes.
Vital Elements Skincare for Mature Skin contains premium ingredients that are fine tuned to resist the visible signs of aging and dryness by compensating for these changes by increasing moisture and targeting deficiencies with vitamins, minerals and humectants necessary for balanced skin. Highly potent antioxidants, exfoliating alpha hydroxy acids and vital nourishing ingredients revitalize and encourage tissue regeneration on a cellular level. Your skin will feel silky smooth resulting in dramatically younger looking skin. Embrace your skin - helpful suggestions
- Ultraviolet (UV) radiation accounts for 90% of the symptoms of premature skin aging, resulting in lines, wrinkles and a dry complexion. As much as possible, stay out of the sun and use a minimum of an SPF 30 daily sunscreen moisturizer to protect the skin against sun damage.
- Do not smoke as this can cause the skin to age faster and appear dry and leathery.
- Drink plenty of water to replenish moisture from the inside out.
- Use products that contain powerful anti-oxidants like CoEnzyme Q10 and Vitamin C.
- Take time to deeply exfoliate skin to hasten cell regeneration and reveal smooth, healthy younger looking skin.
