The Body Shop Vitamin C Microdermabrasion GLOW BOOSTING 100ml With CAMU CAMU For Weekly Home-Spa Exfoliation for Brighter Clearer Skin

Product Information

Not only does microdermabrasion achieve a deep-clean of the skin, but by removing dead cells, it boosts the absorption of your other skincare products, too, leaving skin healthier and more radiant overall. You may have heard that vitamin C is one of the best ingredients to look for in a skin care product due to its ability to brighten and firm the skin. While brands can claim this to be true for any ingredient, there is scientific data that proves vitamin C exerts potent antioxidant activity. Like other antioxidants, vitamin C is capable of protecting the skin from free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS). Specifically, vitamin C donates electrons to neutralize ROS such as the superoxide ion and peroxide that are generated when the skin is exposed to UV light. This is important because the harmful effects of ROS occur as direct chemical alterations of the cellular DNA, the cell membrane and the cellular proteins, including collagen. Damaged collagen manifests as signs of premature aging of the skin, including wrinkles, lines, and sagging skin. Thus, vitamin C’s ability to protect collagen within skin makes it an ideal ingredient to include in anti-aging skincare products. Formulation insight Ascorbic acid is the most chemically active form of vitamin C. But does that make it the best form of topical vitamin C? Not necessarily. In fact, ascorbic acid is actually the least stable form of vitamin C. This means that ascorbic acid oxidizes the easiest out of all forms of vitamin C. When vitamin C becomes oxidized it loses its potency and ultimately becomes ineffective. Things like sunlight, heat, air, water, and time can all lead to the oxidation of ascorbic acid. Additionally, ascorbic acid causes the most skin irritation out of all forms of vitamin C. This happens because ascorbic acid is an acidic molecule and can only penetrate the skin at a pH of 3.5 or less. Since the normal pH of skin is about 5.5, this low pH can be harsh on the skin. These two factors are important to keep in mind when choosing a vitamin C product from The Body Shop as their Vitamin C Glow Revealing Liquid Peel and Vitamin C Skin Boost Instant Smoother both contain ascorbic acid. Some PBS medications are restricted and require prior approval from Medicare before a doctor is able to prescribe them on the PBS. This prior approval to prescribe grants the doctor the Authority to prescribe the desired medicine and have it funded under the PBS. The practitioner moves a handheld device over your skin. Tiny crystals remove dead skin cells and they're vacuumed away.

Microdermabrasion treatments that take place in a salon will offer a deeper level of exfoliation and may also be combined with medical-grade skincare to further enhance the results. Home devices tend to offer a lighter treatment – a mechanical scrub, so to speak – but they can be a great way to complement in-clinic treatments and maintain good skin. From the ingredients however, it contains multiple emulsifiers and skin conditioning agents. This made me have a bit of a sigh of relief, as it’s a harsh scrub but it has ingredients which work to hydrate and soothe the skin. The hydrating element can make up for the harshness when getting rid of dead skin cells, and helps hydrate the skin cells below. During UseMasks and Exfoliators – Use your face scrub on clean skin for best results and continue with skincare routine after use. For such a high-end product, we found this device incredibly easy to get to grips with. And the best bit? For the grand finale you’ll get to see all your hard work (read: dead skin) collected in the cap. Gross, maybe – but certainly satisfying! I personally prefer exfoliators to feel a little bit rough, and like they working but I understand other people wont. It actually doesn’t feel as rough as other products I’ve used like Sand&Skys Australian Clay. The product doesn’t act like just a face wash either, its a scrub through and through. So because of this, I definitely think it was removing dead skin cells and helping to clean my skin even more. With 30% L-ascorbic Acid, this face mask exfoliates and primes the skin to deliver instant, long-lasting results. Ultra-fine crystals work to remove dull, dead skin cells leaving your skin smooth and radiant, while rich emollients and skin conditioning botanical oils minimise dryness.

Obagi Professional-C Serums are not sun protectors, and should not be used as a sun protection alternative. Daily use of a high SPF is recommended as part of any skin care routine. Portfolio Products Glyceryl Stearate is a naturally derived fatty acid, most often used as an emulsifier. It gives the skin a soft and smooth appearance as it acts as a lubricant as well as creating a barrier reducing water loss.

If you’re skin could use a refresh, keep reading below to learn which Body Shop Vitamin C product is best for you! I’ll be honest with you, I didn’t find my skin looking “brighter” but I rarely find my skin looks this way for many products that claim it. I don’t know if that’s just my skin (maybe I always look bright enough?) or whether it’s me not being very observant. But this is one of those claims that I think sounds good in the long-term but may not show visible results. As much as we adhere to our beloved skincare routines, we’re hearing more and more about the detrimental effects of air pollution. For those who suffer with troublesome issues such as uneven skin tone or texture, enlarged pores or scarring, a treatment such as microdermabrasion could be the answer.

More intensive skincare routines are on the rise, with one in five of us increasing the time we spend each day layering on products, per a recent survey. As such, it’s no surprise that 76% of people who bought cleansers, toners and serums last year said that price remains a key factor, when they choose which item to buy. I’ve already mentioned that my skin felt clearer, clean and smooth which are the key benefits to exfoliation in general. For The Body Shop Vitamin C Microdermabrasion, one of the key selling points was around smoother skin. My skin did feel smoother, and especially around my forehead where dry skin was building up. My skin immediately after use did look slightly red (but not as red as other products!) – but then this returned to normal, and I found that even irritated areas such as spots looked better too.
