How to Support (& Slow Down) Skin's Ageing Process
As we age, our skin reflects the story of our lives, revealing both wisdom and wear. While we can’t rewind time, there are effective strategies to support our skin and slow down the visible signs of ageing. With a blend of nature’s best ingredients, particularly Bioactive Totarol™, you can embrace a skincare routine that enhances your natural beauty.
UNDERSTANDING THE AGEING PROCESS
Skin ageing is a complex journey influenced by internal factors such as genetics and hormonal changes, as well as external elements like sun exposure, pollution, and lifestyle choices. The skin loses elasticity and moisture over time, leading to wrinkles, fine lines, and a dull complexion. By addressing these factors proactively, we can promote a more youthful appearance.
THE POWER OF TOTAROL
At the core of TWYG's formulations lies Bioactive Totarol™ — a remarkable extract derived from the native Tōtara tree of New Zealand. This powerful ingredient serves as a natural preservative while offering an impressive array of benefits:
Antioxidant Protection: Bioactive Totarol™ is scientifically proven to be seven times more effective than Vitamin E in neutralising free radicals. These free radicals, caused by factors like UV exposure and pollution, can lead to premature ageing. By scavenging these harmful molecules, Bioactive Totarol™ helps protect your skin from oxidative stress.
Antimicrobial and Anti-Inflammatory Properties: This unique ingredient not only fights off harmful bacteria but also soothes inflammation, making it suitable for even the most sensitive skin types. By maintaining a balanced skin microbiome, Totarol supports overall skin health and resilience.
Lipid Peroxidation Inhibition: Bioactive Totarol™ effectively inhibits lipid peroxidation, which protects your skin’s cellular structure from damage. This means smoother, firmer skin, free from the harsh effects of environmental stressors.
SUPPORTING INGREDIENTS FOR YOUTHFUL SKIN
Beyond Bioactive Totarol™, our formulations are brimming with additional skin-loving ingredients that elevate your skincare experience:
Hyaluronic Acid: As we age, natural levels of hyaluronic acid decline, resulting in reduced hydration and elasticity. Our formulations include this powerful humectant to restore moisture, keeping skin plump and youthful.
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Particularly beneficial for mature skin, niacinamide increases the production of ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids, reducing transepidermal water loss. It helps refine skin texture, diminish fine lines, and enhance elasticity.
Neossance Squalane: Naturally present in the skin's lipid barrier, squalane prevents moisture loss and restores suppleness. Sourced sustainably from sugarcane waste, it provides a silky, non-greasy finish, making it a favourite among formulators.
Nikkol Vitamin C: Known for its stability and ability to penetrate the skin, Vitamin C prevents lipid peroxidation and promotes collagen synthesis, enhancing skin radiance and firmness.
