Top 5 Age-Fighting Favorites
Ya know what keeps skin radiant over time? Really sticking to a skincare routine. Showing your skin that everyday kind of love by cleansing, exfoliating, toning, moisturizing — it goes a long way.
But we want to take it one step further. We want to go *ALL* the way — back to a complexion that’s baby-smooth, line-free, and luminous beyond belief. For that, we turn to the age-defying ingredients found in these favorites from the Sweet Tox Skin line.
SPF
Okay, so SPF really falls into everyday care. You should be using SPF every dang day to protect your skin from harmful UVA/UVB rays and high-energy visible light (think: blue light from your phone and computer — big yikes!).
Our Ultra Replenishing 40SPF Sunscreen is a hydrating, tinted sunscreen that brings broad-spectrum defense against these baddies, while detoxifying botanicals help reduce the look of lines, dark spots, and other signs of photoaging. Katie actually mixes this sunscreen in with her foundation on the daily!
If you’re looking for something easy to slip into your purse or travel with, we love the Protect & go!
Vitamin C
We can not get enough of our c-stem serum. Say it with us: Concentrated anti-aging. This serum does everything from targeting existing signs of aging to collagen stimulation to minimizing breakouts and redness. Obsessed. And a lot of the benefits are thanks to Vitamin C.
Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant, protecting skin from free radicals that cause visible signs of aging. This skin-brightening collagen-booster is eight times stronger than L-ascorbic acid at collagen formation. Vitamin C also helps reverse sun damage by shielding from UVA and UVB rays.
Retinol
Retinol is 100% where it’s at. It’s the #1 dermatologist-recommended ingredient for improving aging and UV-damaged skin, helping to correct lines, wrinkles, irregular pigmentation, loss of elasticity, and enlarged pores. Medical-grade, prescription Retinol is key for anti-aging and prevention — and it isn’t something you should be snagging at your local drugstore or big box beauty shop. You need to make sure you’re getting a regulated potency of Retinol so that your skin can actually reap the benefits. Our Retinol Serum does just that.
Our serum also combines Retinol with healthy fats to prevent drying (which Retinol can sometimes cause). This formula is shown to increase luminosity and even skin tone, soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, plump the skin, and smooth skin’s texture. Be sure to pair it with an SPF or use overnight, as Retinol makes skin very sensitive to the sun.
Glycolic Acid + Algae Firming Peptides
Glycolic Acid in this moisturizer strips away dead skin on the surface of the complexion, revealing a seriously youthful glow. It also boosts Hyaluronic Acid, a natural water-trapping molecule in our skin that diminishes with age. Algae Firming Peptides promote collagen formation, helping smooth creases in the skin. It also super hydrates and kickstarts cell renewal, resulting in thicker, firmer skin.
Put it all together in our AHA Marine Moisture Creme! The consistency is like a fluffy meringue — light, airy, and smelling of lemony goodness. It really leaves skin looking radiant, smooth, firm, and ultra moisturized.
Antioxidant Lipochroman®
Antioxidant Lipochroman® is one of the strongest, highest-potency antioxidants on the market. It protects from both oxygen and nitrogen free radical formation — no other antioxidant protects against nitrogen free radicals! It helps improve the look of aging skin, including wrinkles, uneven pigment, loss of elasticity, and redness.
Our Ultra Benefits Moisturizer is Katie’s everyday go-to, She layers it after cleansing, toning, and serums. It soaks right into the skin without feeling heavy or oily. Skin is left brighter, firmed, hydrated, and better-protected from premature signs of aging.
So what are you waiting for? The sooner you get to shopping these anti-aging skincare faves, the sooner you’ll be turning back the clock on your complexion.
