Sustainable Skincare March 2023 at Oleander Aesthetics

March 14, 2023

Hey IMAGE Skincare fans!

I have some exciting skincare news to share with you   IMAGE has launched The Biome+ line, a new generation in CLEAN, CLINICAL, SUSTAINABLE, PETA approved and 1% For The Planet Skincare!
Also, a new completely CLEAR SPF joins the Prevention+ line of sun protection for ALL skin tones!
Did you know that our skin has its own microbiome or skin flora?  The skin microbiome is composed of bacteria, mites, yeast and fungi.  Sounds creepy I know, but it serves as a protective function against pathogenic microbes in the environment.  When the skin microbiome is balanced and healthy, it maintains a pH level between 5.2 and 5.4 during the day and around 4.7 at night.  A  healthy, robust moisture barrier and hydration throughout the skin results in skin that looks smooth, radiant and youthfully resilient.

So how do we achieve this? 

  1. Avoid harsh and stripping skincare products. The skin microbiome thrives when there is a diversity of beneficial microbes.
  2. Eat a diet diverse in plant based whole foods.  Given the skin gut axis, it’s important to look after our guts in order to look after our skin.
  3. Consider the impact of lifestyle.  Managing stress, getting enough quality sleep and movement are all factors that can help us manage our gut health and as a result, skin microbiome.
  4. Identify and remove trigger foods.  The gut skin axis communicates bidirectionally. It’s therefore important to identify any foods or drinks that are causing symptoms and reduce or eliminate these from your diet.

What skincare Ingredients do we need for a healthy Skin Microbiome?

  • Squalane: A natural component of sebum as well as an emollient found in vegetables, squalane is particularly a great natural moisturizer for the moisture barrier.
  • Hyaluronic acid: This plumping powerhouse helps dry skin because it can aid in retaining moisture and hydration.
  • Niacinamide: A form of vitamin B, niacinamide can be used to help keep skin hydrated and protect it from outside irritants.
Now I'd like to introduce three new IMAGE Skincare products you're going to LOVE!
Interested?  Just reach out for a product pick up time.

See you soon,
Emma at OLEANDER AESTHETICS

PRODUCTS OF THE MONTH

This cushioning, clinically proven moisture crème delivers cloud-like hydration, working to deeply replenish, nourish and bring vitality and bounce back to the skin. Rich in squalane derived from renewable sugarcane, it helps to support the skin’s moisture barrier while smoothing and refining texture. Hyaluronic acid bolsters the skin’s ability to hold in water for a plump, smooth appearance. A blend of flax and celery super-seed extracts help to smooth uneven texture and minimize the look of pores, while sunflower microgreens visibly renew radiance and luminosity. The plush texture sinks in quickly to leave skin with a soft, fresh-faced glow.  $72
