Today when we see
commercials or ads for anti-aging products, what is it that companies are using as
their “magic ingredient”? Retinol, a form of vitamin A that is used to help
plump the skin and boost skin’s collagen. Some products even use retinol to treat acne
and eczema. However what you think is helping your skin, might actually be
harming it in the long run.
What most of us don’t
realize is that our skin needs time to "adapt" and "tolerate" this ingredient. However over time, retinol causes the skin
to become more sensitive, prone to sunburn, capillary damage and hyper
pigmentation. Retinol also thins the skin, making you more prone to over-exfoliation
during any other skin treatments (such as microdermabrasion, chemical peels,
etc.). Also making your skin more likely (very likely) to burn or tear if you
have any waxing services done! OUCH!
If you're thinking about trying a product that is retinol-free, take a look at our Eminence Organics Age Corrective line. They are all natural, and use a retinol alternative (Tara Tree and Chicory Root) that won't harm your skin and give you the results you want!
