Why all the buzz about manuka honey? This sticky super substance has some unique properties that make it pure gold when it comes to skincare. Let\u2019s take a peek into the hive to learn what makes manuka so special.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Produced from the nectar of the manuka tree (Leptospermum\u00a0scoparium) by bees native to New Zealand and Australia, manuka honey is certified and rated by international standards for purity and potency. You could say it\u2019s the Champagne of honey.<\/p>\n
While all honey has some antibiotic properties, manuka has a super-abundance of the stuff. It contains a powerful antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory compound, methylglyoxal (MGO). MGO comes from the conversion of another compound in manuka honey known as dihydroxyacetone (DHA), a high concentration of which is found in the nectar of manuka flowers.<\/p>\n
Other honeys get their (milder) antibacterial effects from naturally occurring hydrogen peroxide. Manuka has a lower concentration of hydrogen peroxide and gets its strength from non-peroxide activity, making it a gentler and more powerful healer.<\/p>\n
Manuka honey is also known to stimulate fibroblast activity to generate healthy new cells and repair damage. This activity, coupled with its antibiotic power, has led to manuka honey receiving FDA approval for wound healing.<\/p>\n
In addition, manuka honey has numerous bioactive compounds, including polyphenols, flavonoids, and phenolic acid, that exert powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, increasing its capacity to repair and renew the skin<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n Finally, manuka honey is a humectant that pulls moisture into the skin and retains it<\/span><\/a>, making it a plumping and hydrating agent.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Manuka honey is suitable for all skin types, especially dry, thinning, or aging skin.<\/p>\n Moisture-binding properties make manuka honey an excellent choice for replenishing dry skin. Its high antioxidant content and cell-renewing properties make it ideal for improving texture and elasticity in aging skin. And its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties make it a good choice for acneic or rosacea-affected skin.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The easiest way to get a healthy dose of manuka honey is with our new FF3 Manuka Honey Enzyme Lift. This nutrient-rich, revitalizing, and resurfacing mask blends the highest-grade Manuka honey with gently exfoliating pineapple enzymes to deliver instant brightness and lift to dull, dry, lax, or thinning skin. Use it two to three times a week to clear dead skin, soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and bring a velvety, hydrated texture to the skin.<\/p>\n You can also find manuka honey in Vivant\u2019s new FF3 Triple Repair Complex, an ultra-targeted brightening and regenerative serum for brightening, retexturizing, and restoring structure and elasticity in photodamaged skin<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Vivant\u2019s FF3 Biointensive GF, a breakthrough formula to reactivate cellular function in hormone-depleted skin<\/span><\/a>, includes manuka honey along with peptides, growth factors, and vitamin A. The transformative serum boosts hydration, plumps the skin, and smooths lines in as little as two weeks.<\/p>\n Could this be the year you stop aging? It might be if you give your regimen a boost with Vivant\u2019s ultimate beauty defender, Rejuv Rx Peptide Concentrate. What makes this award-winning serum so amazing? We\u2019re glad you asked.<\/p>\n Rejuv Rx is formulated with a high concentration of peptides, the small chain amino acids that form the building blocks of protein and stimulate the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid in your skin. All the elements that create the appearance of youth.<\/p>\n Peptides occur naturally in the body. When you add peptides topically, they mimic the body\u2019s natural stores and give the collagen and elastin production process a supercharge.<\/p>\n Peptides also have a calming, anti-inflammatory effect that makes them an excellent choice for treating rosacea, redness, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation caused by acne breakouts.<\/p>\n Because of their small molecular size, peptides are absorbed quickly into the skin to reach the lower layers of the dermis where they can get to work to aid the body\u2019s natural renewal processes. Lactic acid in this formula gives the peptides a penetrating boost by gently exfoliating to accelerate cell-turnover and clear away dead skin cells.<\/p>\n Lactic acid is also a powerful humectant that draws moisture into the deeper layers of the skin to promote a supple, soft texture. Niacinamide, which stimulates the production of ceramides (the lipids that make up the skin\u2019s barrier and help retain moisture and resiliency), works with lactic acid to make the formula ultra-hydrating and nourishing.<\/p>\n Rejuv Rx is the ultimate booster for firmer structure, smoother texture, a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, brighter tone, and an overall more radiant and resilient appearance. It\u2019s no coincidence it\u2019s been a Dermascope Magazine<\/em> Aestheticians\u2019 Choice Award Winner multiple years running. You could say it\u2019s a filler without the needle. If you\u2019re using injectables, Rejuv Rx will extend the life of those as well.<\/p>\n Add Rejuv Rx Peptide Concentrate<\/a><\/span> to your current ageless regimen to relax wrinkles, reduce redness, and reactivate skin\u2019s youthful appearance. Use it in the morning for a firming effect throughout the day. It can be layered with other serums including everybody\u2019s favorite brightening booster Pure C + E<\/span><\/a>. Put Rejuv Rx on first and allow it to dry before adding Spin Trap or other serum. And, of course, follow with sunscreen. Rejuv Rx is perfect for all skin types and tones.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Go ahead. Make this the year of agelessness.<\/p>\n","created_at":"2018-12-13T12:06:25-05:00","published_at":"2024-01-19T00:30:00-05:00","blog_id":76234630,"author":"Vivant Skin Care","user_id":77275078,"updated_at":"2024-01-21T23:11:39-05:00","handle":"rejuv-rx-is-your-essential-ageless-booster","admin_graphql_api_id":"gid:\/\/shopify\/OnlineStoreArticle\/28745990246","is_fetched":1,"tags":"ageless, Peptides, rejuvenation","image_src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1331\/0021\/articles\/Rejuv_Rx_is_Your_Essential_Ageless_Booster_94579a30-7d6c-4d50-bf41-1426520da80b.jpg?v=1663556955","blog_title":"Ageless","blog_handle":"anti-aging"},{"ID":29687152742,"store_url":"vivantskin.myshopify.com","title":"Skin Care Ingredients: Absorption Matters","body_html":" Ingredients that target signs of aging, skin texture, or hyperpigmentation need to get past the top layers of the epidermis to have any effect on the skin. But there are a few things that regularly get in the way. What are those impediments? Why do they matter? How do you get past them? Let\u2019s get absorbed in the topic of absorption for a moment, shall we?\u00a0<\/p>\n As skin cells mature, they rise to the surface becoming flatter and drier until they reach the epidermis where they form the protective layer known as the stratum corneum. This outer layer of dead skin cells is bound together by a sort of cellular glue, which acts as a literal wall to skin care ingredients keeping them from performing optimally. Eliminating cellular buildup is not just the key to keeping the skin surface looking vibrant and healthy; it\u2019s the key to ingredient absorption.<\/p>\n Removing debris and dead skin cells clears the way for actives and optimizes product performance. A scrub is an excellent way to loosen up the dry, dull layer of skin blocking your ingredients. Vivant\u2019s Buffing Grains<\/a><\/span> can be added to any cleanser to create an exfoliating boost. If you\u2019re targeting acne, try BP 3% Exfoliating Cleanser<\/a><\/span>. For sensitive acne-prone skin, discoloration issues, or signs of aging Mandelic Acid 3-In-1 Exfoliating Cleanser<\/a><\/span> is the trifecta.<\/p>\n Use a toner daily<\/a><\/span> to help sweep away the accumulation of cellular debris. Look for a formula that contains acids, which dissolve the cellular glue to slough away dead skin.<\/p>\n Mandelic acid<\/a><\/span> is a non-irritating, anti-bacterial, and melanin-inhibiting acid perfect for sensitive skin or dark skin tones prone to hyperpigmentation. Glycolic acid is fast-acting and potent. Lactic acid is a gentle exfoliator that draws moisture into the skin. Salicylic acid flushes pores. See Vivant\u2019s toner collection here<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Your skin is a bit like a neoprene wetsuit. It acts as a barrier keeping things like bacteria, irritants, pollutants out while allowing requisite oxygen and hydration through to keep your body healthy. Only the smallest particles can make it through. Many skin care ingredients have too large a molecular structure to get past the skin barrier and reach the lower layers of the dermis where they can effect change.<\/p>\n Vitamin A is a great example. This antioxidant change agent must be converted by the body into retinoic acid to become \u201cactivated.\u201d Once converted, the retinoic acid spurs cells to accelerate their renewal process, produce healthy new cells, and regenerate collagen and elastin. This conversion can\u2019t happen until the vitamin A comes in contact with enzymes in the cells at the deeper dermal level. Most retinols have too large a molecular structure to reach that conversion zone.<\/p>\n Dr. Fulton helped develop Retin-A\u00ae and later used his knowledge to create Vivant\u2019s patented Vitamin A Propionate, which has the smallest molecular structure of the non-prescription retinols allowing to reach its cellular destination and effect change in the skin. See Vivant\u2019s patented Vitamin A Propionate therapies<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Rich lotions and moisturizers that claim to target problem areas with specific ingredients are often so heavy with lipid molecules that they occlude the skin and leave active ingredients sitting on the surface of the skin.<\/p>\n A well-formulated serum<\/a><\/span> can be hydrating and highly supportive of a healthy skin barrier without loading skin down with heavy ingredients. Thinner, lighter, fluid formulations of highly concentrated actives have nothing to get in the way of actives. Additionally, one of the most crucial benefits of a serum is enhancing and accelerating cell turnover, which brings us back to the stratum corneum. Serums are yet another way to avoid cellular buildup. Serums are formulated to target specific skin issues including acne, signs of aging, and uneven tone.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Bottom line: if the critical active ingredients in your skin care can\u2019t get to into the lower levels of the skin, they can\u2019t do the job of improving skin tone and texture. Use the fixes above to optimize your product performance and achieve your best results.<\/p>","created_at":"2019-05-10T11:18:37-04:00","published_at":"2024-01-17T00:30:00-05:00","blog_id":76234758,"author":"Vivant Skin Care","user_id":77275078,"updated_at":"2024-01-17T00:30:00-05:00","handle":"skin-care-ingredients-absorption-matters","admin_graphql_api_id":"gid:\/\/shopify\/OnlineStoreArticle\/29687152742","is_fetched":1,"tags":"absorption, formulation, skin care ingredients","image_src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1331\/0021\/articles\/Skin_Care_Ingredients-_Absorption_Matters.jpg?v=1557515136","blog_title":"Ingredients","blog_handle":"ingredients"},{"ID":581085560934,"store_url":"vivantskin.myshopify.com","title":"How to Choose the Perfect Cleanser for Your Skin Type","body_html":" Serums may be the stars when it comes to skincare, but an effective cleanser is the foundation of healthy skin, and as such, deserves as much consideration as you give your headliner products.<\/p>\n Cleansing isn\u2019t just about removing the day\u2019s grime and makeup. This all-important first step in your regimen preps skin for all the other steps. Far from an afterthought, it\u2019s the first line of defense, maintenance, and prevention.<\/p>\n Choosing the right cleanser, one that has benefits tailored to your skin\u2019s needs, will make all the difference in optimizing your regimen and promoting a healthy, radiant complexion. Not sure how to choose? Let\u2019s break it down.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Is this you?<\/p>\n The mix of oily and dry can make it tough to avoid over-compensating for one or the other. Our favorite way to accomplish this balancing act is with Green Tea Antioxidant Cleanser<\/span><\/a>. This gentle daily wash harnesses the power of skin-nourishing and humectant ingredients to deep cleanse without stripping. Green tea regulates sebum and protects against environmental stressors<\/span><\/a>, while lightweight, non-comedogenic grapeseed oil replenishes lost moisture without clogging pores or adding sheen. Toss antioxidant kiwi extract and moisture-infusing honey into the mix, and you get a hydrating, shine-eliminating formula with bonuses like photoprotection, age-deceleration, and barrier-strengthening.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Best choice:<\/strong> Green Tea Antioxidant Cleanser<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Is this you?<\/p>\n Dry skin types should steer clear of bar soaps, harsh cleansers, and foams, which are moisture vampires. Instead, opt for creamy or milky formulas that will nourish and hydrate cells. Our luxuriously creamy Cleansing Milk seriously delivers on the moisture front. Grapeseed oil quenches dry skin with lipid-replenishing fatty acids and vitamin E.<\/span><\/a> This lightweight, uber-antioxidant oil is also anti-inflammatory and free-radical fighting, making it a reparative and protective agent. Use this hydrating cleanser daily to keep skin feeling silky smooth, and supple.<\/p>\n Best choice: <\/strong>Cleansing Milk Gentle Non-Drying Cleanser<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Is this you?<\/p>\n Two words: benzoyl peroxide. There\u2019s a reason BP is synonymous with acne treatment<\/span><\/a>. It\u2019s a pore-flushing powerhouse that kills the bacteria that feeds acne. This clear skin crusader releases oxygen deep into the pore to zap the bac and reduce inflammation. Meanwhile, keratolytic properties cause a peeling reaction that clears dead skin cells and impactions from the pore, so the healing can begin. At a concentration of 3% benzoyl peroxide, plus humectant ingredients, Vivant\u2019s BP Acne Wash balances refining and resurfacing while avoiding over-drying.<\/p>\n Best choices: <\/strong>3% BP Acne Wash<\/span><\/a> or 3% BP Exfoliating Cleanser<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Is this you?<\/p>\n When your skin is hyperpigmentation-prone, as is often the case with skin of color, acne inflammation can leave behind dark spots when blemishes have gone. Some acne-fighting cleansers can be trigger more inflammation, making the problem worse. You need ingredients that do double duty to gently banish breakouts while brightening your complexion. Mandelic acid<\/span><\/a> is uniquely qualified for the job. Antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, melanin-inhibiting, micro-exfoliating, and non-irritating, this gentle giant of AHAs makes the perfect base for your daily cleanse.\u00a0<\/p>\n Best choices: <\/strong>Mandelic Acid 3-In-1 Wash<\/span><\/a> or \u00a0Mandelic Acid 3-In-1 Exfoliating Cleanser <\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Is this you?<\/p>\n Sensitive skin can be dry or oily and may be prone to acne, hyperpigmentation, or rosacea, but it is above all reactive. Finding a cleanser that soothes while improving other issues can be a challenge. Fortunately, you don\u2019t have to sacrifice effectiveness. Ingredients like green tea extract and grape seed oil are super-soothers with transformative powers<\/span><\/a>,<\/a> including pigment reduction, acne-fighting, and cell regeneration. Both are anti-bacterial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory, non-comedogenic cell-renewers. Green tea also inhibits melanin production and regulates sebum. Grapeseed oil is rich in linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid (lacking in acne-prone skin) that helps decongest pores. Our Green Tea Antioxidant Cleanser contains both green tea extract and grapeseed oil in a gentle gel formula. Our Cleansing Milk relies on grapeseed oil in a calming creamy base.<\/p>\n Best choices: <\/strong>Green Tea Antioxidant Cleanser<\/span><\/a> or Cleansing Milk Gentle Non-Drying Cleanser<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Is this you?<\/p>\n If you\u2019re lucky enough to have the problem-free skin type, your goal is to keep it that way. Maintenance and prevention are the action items for your active ingredients. You want a cleanser that dissolves makeup, grime, and oil without stripping or drying. We recommend some light exfoliation to support cell renewal and a healthy, elastic tone. Antioxidants and hydrating ingredients round out your perfect formula.<\/p>\n Best choices: <\/strong>Buffing Grains Exfoliating Cleanser<\/span><\/a> or Green Tea Antioxidant Cleanser<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n 1.<\/strong> Cleanse and rinse with lukewarm water. Hot water can strip natural oils and leave skin dry and irritated.<\/p>\n 2.<\/strong>\u00a0Wash for a full sixty seconds to get the full benefit of this critical regimen step<\/a><\/span>. Extending your cleansing time will allow key ingredients time to penetrate the skin and work their magic while increasing circulation and bringing more nutrients to cells.<\/p>\n 3.<\/strong> Be gentle. Scrubbing too hard can irritate the skin. Avoid abrasive pads or brushes and pat skin dry with a soft towel when finished.<\/p>\n 4.<\/strong>\u00a0Maximize your cleanse by following it with a facial toner<\/a><\/span>. Facial toners remove excess oil, cleanser residue, and dead skin cells to clear the path for optimal absorption of corrective serums and moisturizers.<\/p>\n 5.<\/strong> Mix Buffing Grains with any cleanser to create an exfoliating scrub.<\/p>\n 6.<\/strong> Green Tea Antioxidant Cleanser is also great as a shaving gel, body wash, and shampoo. Bonus, green tea naturally combats dandruff<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>","created_at":"2021-06-27T23:04:58-04:00","published_at":"2024-01-16T00:30:00-05:00","blog_id":86374214,"author":"Vivant Skin Care","user_id":77275078,"updated_at":"2024-01-17T22:36:44-05:00","handle":"how-to-choose-the-perfect-cleanser-for-your-skin-type","admin_graphql_api_id":"gid:\/\/shopify\/OnlineStoreArticle\/581085560934","is_fetched":1,"tags":"anti-bacterial, cleansers, healthy skin","image_src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1331\/0021\/articles\/How_to_Choose_the_Perfect_Cleanser_for_Your_Skin_Type.jpg?v=1624851445","blog_title":"Dermatologist-Approved","blog_handle":"doctors-tips"},{"ID":29233315942,"store_url":"vivantskin.myshopify.com","title":"A Simple Rule for Getting More From Your Cleanser","body_html":" Everyone from Cosmo<\/em> to Healthline<\/em> to a whole forum of Redditors is talking about the 60-Second Rule. It\u2019s an idea credited to esthetician Nayamka Roberts-Smith of\u00a0LABeautyologist<\/a><\/span>, that may be the genesis of a cleansing revolution. It\u2019s oh so simple, and oh so smart. Wash your face for 60 full seconds before rinsing off your cleanser to allow the ingredients to do their work.<\/p>\n There\u2019s a lot of merit to this \u201cminute to win it\u201d proposition from optimized product performance to reduced stress. Here\u2019s why we rate this idea a total keeper.<\/p>\n If you\u2019ve invested in a cleanser that\u2019s formulated to do more than clean, i.e., acids, antioxidants, anti-bacterial properties, or brighteners, and you rush through the cleansing process, you\u2019re not going to get the full benefit of those ingredients. Extending your cleansing time will give those key ingredients a chance to get below the surface of the skin where they can make a greater difference to the overall health of your complexion.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re like most people, you are probably rushing through this regimen step and spending just long enough to feel you\u2019ve removed the day\u2019s makeup and dirt. Then, you move on to step two, toner. (Please tell us you\u2019re using a toner! If not, we have some required reading for you<\/span><\/a>.) The toner\u2019s job is to get all those last traces of surface debris, but if there is a lot of grime on the pad, it likely means you\u2019re not spending enough time cleansing, and you\u2019re missing the opportunity to deep clean your pores.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n Increased circulation is another benefit that comes with stretching your cleansing ritual. The additional time massaging your face increases oxygenation, which delivers more nutrients to cells. Just be sure that you are rubbing your skin gently and using just your fingertips. A 60-second date with a buffing pad or brush is more likely to irritate than to invigorate.<\/p>\n Finally, the 60-Second Rule offers one more appealing advantage in the form of enhanced well-being. Taking the time to slow down while enjoying a gentle facial massage can be a welcome stress-reducer, not a bad way to start and end each day. We see no downside. We\u2019re all in on the 60-Second Rule.<\/p>\n Shop Vivant\u2019s cleanser collection<\/a>:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n It\u2019s winter, and your skin is craving moisture. That doesn\u2019t mean you should grab the biggest bottle of lotion you can find. Though you may be tempted to cocoon your skin in creamy hydration when the weather turns cold and dry, slow your moisture-seeking roll. There\u2019s more to supple, dewy skin than you might think. Let\u2019s make sure you\u2019re getting it right.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Both hydration (water) and moisture (oil) are essential to retain elasticity and to keep skin looking smooth and supple. Your skin can be lacking both moisture and hydration, or just one of the two. Not every skin needs moisturizing, but every skin needs hydration.\u00a0<\/p>\n Sebum is nature\u2019s emollient. If your skin is normally oily but feels dry in the winter, your skin is dehydrated. You might need some additional moisture, but you want to be careful about the type you use\u2014nothing greasy or heavy, which can be occlusive and pore-clogging.<\/p>\n Totaloe Calming and Hydrating Gel<\/a><\/span> is perfect for keeping skin hydrated, supple, and smooth without adding oil. In addition to all its healing and soothing properties, aloe is among nature\u2019s most efficient humectants, meaning it draws water from the atmosphere into the skin and retains it. It\u2019s combined here with barrier-boosting niacinamide, sea algae extract, and green tea extract.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Skin that is ordinarily dry, will be dryer in winter when cold air and dry indoor heating are pulling water from the skin, leaving it dehydrated. For your skin, additional moisture is essential.<\/p>\n Marine Skin Nourishing Cream<\/a><\/span> is an intensely nourishing blend of antioxidants and bioactive marine minerals, amino acids, sea proteins, and grape seed oil to replenish and restore suppleness and elasticity.\u00a0We love its luxurious, yet light feel. It\u2019s creamy and moisture-rich without being heavy.<\/p>\n For dry skin that also tends to get inflamed from the cold weather, Allantoin Sedating & Hydrating Lotion <\/a><\/span>will bring it back into alignment. This lightweight cream formula blends anti-inflammatory allantoin with aloe, grape seed oil, zinc peptides, and oat protein for a calming moisture infusion with an antioxidant, barrier-supporting boost.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n It may sound counter-intuitive, but to keep skin optimally moisturized, you have to keep skin optimally exfoliated<\/a><\/span>. Dead skin cells act as a barrier to moisture, and lack of moisture causes skin cells to die more rapidly than in more hydrated skin. So, the more cellular debris builds up, the drier your skin becomes. If you simply slather moisture on top of dry skin without exfoliating, you\u2019re essentially just creating a sludge of dead skin cells and emollients. Not ideal for achieving your glowiest skin.<\/p>\n That ever-growing layer of dead skin cells also blocks actives in your products from delivering their beneficial ingredients. Clear the cellular debris to allow in all the good stuff that makes your skin look radiant, supple, and hydrated.<\/p>\n Start by adding Vivant\u2019s biodegradable Buffing Grains<\/a><\/span> to your favorite Vivant Cleanser a few times a week to get some mild physical exfoliation. The second step in your regimen, your toner, also helps to loosen and remove dead cells. For dry winter skin, Vivant\u2019s Skin Nourishing Toner<\/a><\/span> is a hydrating blend of acids and antioxidants, including rosehip\u00a0extract to help loosen and lift cellular debris and enhance the permeability of your corrective serum. If your skin is oily or acne-prone, 3% Mandelic Acid 3-In-1 Toner<\/a><\/span><\/span> is a good choice for mild exfoliation that aids hydration.\u00a0<\/p>\n Our choice for a winter serum to aid in both accelerating cell-turnover and increasing moisture and elasticity is Derm-A-Renew<\/a><\/span><\/span>. This hybrid blend of vitamin A and peptides boosts cell metabolism and collagen production while reducing redness and stimulating the production of the skin\u2019s natural moisture factor, hyaluronic acid.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Absolutely. A mask removes dead, dull, dry cells creating the perfect conditions for introducing nutrients and moisture. Choose a mask that contains humectant and hydrating ingredients like Vivant\u2019s Algae Soft Mask<\/a><\/span> with sea algae extract, whole leaf aloe, and allantoin. Use it once or twice a week to keep skin supple and refined. For an added hydration boost, apply Totaloe Calming & Hydrating Gel under the mask.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The skin around your eyes is thinner and more prone to dehydration, which can cause fine lines to appear more visible. To keep the delicate eye area plump and hydrated, use Wink Eye Rejuvenation Cream<\/a><\/span> morning and night. Antioxidant vitamin A, peptides, and caffeine get a lipid-restoring boost from grapeseed oil in this high-performance formula.<\/p>\nWhich Skin Types Will Benefit From Products That Contain Manuka Honey?<\/strong><\/h3>\n
