Pocalocca's Blog: antioxidant

A while ago I joined Lara from Every Beauty Addict’s Bible for the launch of new SkinCeuticals products which in all fairness, are quite new to me.

This range is all about anti-oxidant skincare and during the launch the special guest speaker Ms. Jennifer Bedran, who is the SkinCeuticals’ Skin Education Expert, talked us through these new additions to the collection. This brand combines medical procedures with premium products for the optimum skincare benefits.

Three new products were launched. Also a so called ‘lunch break’ Peel treatment was also introduced. We also had a live demonstration by Ms. Bedran herself.

1. Metacell Renewal B3.

Metacell Renewal B3 utilizes a patent-pending aqueous emulsion to deliver a high concentration of vitamin B3 to address early signs of aging caused by sunlight or photo-aging. This emulsion improves these early signs of photo-aging by increasing cell turnover to resurface skin, help re-clarify and even out the skin tone. Ultimately it improves the appearance of wrinkles and surface elasticity.

2. Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2.

Loss of lipids which are essential compounds in the skin’s surface, occur in aging skin. This will affect the skin’s barrier resulting in aging as the skin in unable to repair itself.

Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 is an anti-aging cream with a unique 2:4:2 cholesterol-dominant ratio to help restore skin's external barrier while nourishing aging skin for improvement in signs of accelerated aging, such as dry and rough skin, laxity and loss of fullness.

3. Phloretin CF Gel.

Phloretin CF Gel is a new, powerful serum-in-a-gel antioxidant featuring a patented combination of 2% Phloretin, 10% pure vitamin C (L-ascorbic Acid), and 0.5% Ferulic Acid to neutralize free radicals induced by environmental stressors such as UVA/UVB and pollution which may lead to visible signs of accelerated skin aging. This powerful gel reduces hyperpigmentation and accelerates cell-renewal. Its formula makes it ideal for normal to combination skin and non-serum users.

As mentioned we had a demonstration about the new ‘lunch break’ peel. It is referred to as so as it literally does not take more than 30 minutes to complete. The results are instant: brighter and more even skin without any redness or irritation.

The above mentioned products along with the Gel Peel are now available exclusively from Persona in Ta’ Xbiex.

As I write this post I am sniffling and sneezing and drinking Lemsip. The joy of the start of cold weather. Not that I mind, not at all. I love winter!

Yesterday (24/10/2013) I attended an event which was about the introduction or launch of the Environ skin care range at the salon called Beauty and Co by Maria Cassana in Swieqi (facebook page here ). I have heard about the range before but to be honest I never tried anything from their products.

I went with my bf and with Steph lauri from think.love.makeup and Dorianne from askdorianne.

Just as a brief description on the brand:

"Environ's products are based on vitamin A antioxidants, as integral ingredients for the health of our skin. Vitamin A helps skin cells form according to the functions they're intended to perform. Without Vitamin A skin would not exist."

I won't be going on the facts and stuff about Vitamin A and what not as I think you can easily find information on the internet. Visit their website here.

The Event started with a talk from Physiotherapy Technician who specializes in gym equipment and fitness.

Then the Brand was introduced to us with the explanation of the products and how they work.

Below are some photos of the event itself :)
