Autumn and winter are two seasons when our skin needs good protection, hydration, but also regeneration. How should we care for the skin at this time of the year? Cosmetologists swear by dermoaesthetic acids.
Acid-based beauty products can truly salvage our skin. Especially in autumn and winter season they are worth rooting for. This is also the solution that Arkana’s ambassador, Grażyna Wolszczak, has adopted. “Like every woman, I think, after summer months I feel like treating my skin to some makeover. I am happy to use products rich in tried-and-tested ingredients like acids. They seem to really work for me, so I look for cosmetics that have them on their content list. My recipe for revitalizing and rejuvenating my skin is a two-step one. First, I visit my favourite beauty salon, and then I enhance and keep up the effects of the treatments with the creams my beauty therapist has recommended. I have just made great friends with Arkana’s latest cosmetic line, Acid Therapy, it seems the perfect solution when addressing skin regeneration, regardless of the season.”
Acid therapy – your plan for skin makeover
Many people tend to avoid cosmetics that contain acids because they worry they will end up with irritated skin and flare-ups. However, it turns out that these ingredients in fact help deal with the effects of many skin problems, like skin aging, discolouration or rosacea to name just a few. Azelaic acid works great for skin with acne breakouts and atopic inflammation. It does not irritate, on the contrary, it soothes. Hyaluronic acid is used to deeply hydrate the skin, and when lines and wrinkles arise, it can plump them out. The mild mandelic acid exfoliates the dead cell buildup, and promotes regenerative processes in the skin, while glycolic acid banishes uneven skin appearance, and boosts collagen production. Pyruvic acid, in turn, rejuvenates and restructures the skin, delivering a lifting effect, but also plumps out scars and stretchmarks so they become less visible.
A sure-fire way of banishing skin imperfections
Arkana has come up with professional Acid Therapy MD line encompassing professional salon-based treatments and cosmetics specially developed for home-based use. It is a dermoaesthetic therapy based on azelaic, pyruvic, glycolic, mandelic and salicylic acids, formulated to deal with skin problems as diverse as overpigmentation, acne vulgaris, rosacea, or skin aging. Acids replenish the skin’s elasticity and suppleness, plump out lines, eliminate comedones, breakouts, and enlarged pores, but also even out the skin’s tone. The latter is especially important to many of us following the summer months spent in the sun, and may well be the hallmark of the acid therapy line.
Well-informed skincare
Professional salon-based treatments utilizing acids are the first step towards restoring our skin’s smooth, supple, even-tone appearance. But then, we take the well-informed, conscious skincare home with the cosmetic super-duos from Arkana’s Acid Therapy MD line, such as:
Pyruvic Advanced 10% Cream + Pyruvic Solution, the perfect cosmetic combo for mature skin. Rejuvenates and restructures the skin.
Mandelic + Salicylic Purifying 10% Cream + Mandelic Solution, truly reliable oily skin home-based treatment. Prevents shiny skin, inflammation and breakouts.
AzAc Forte 15% Cream+ AzAc Solution, a duo specially created for acne-prone and rosacea-affected skin.
Glycolic + Phytic Restore 10% Cream + Glycolic Solution, a rejuvenating therapy for a firming, suppling, overpigmentation-brightening effect.
Conscious skincare gives us control over the changes that take place in our skin. Well-matched cosmetic products rich in beneficial acids will play the role of medication. One golden rule applies, however: start the therapy at a beauty salon, and then keep it up at home. Such mode of action will ensure synergy for your desired, optimal results.
