JUST IN<br />
New ingredient<br />
set to change<br />
anti-ageing<br />
skincare<br />
A recently introduced skincare<br />
line to Australia is using<br />
dermal filler technology for<br />
a unique approach to skin<br />
hydration. Called Teoxane<br />
Cosmeceuticals, each product<br />
in the range is formulated with<br />
an ingredient called resilient<br />
hyaluronic acid, which works<br />
to create a sort of barrier on<br />
the skin to trap and bind<br />
moisture. This hyaluronic<br />
acid is also used in the Swiss<br />
company’s injectable filler<br />
range. So basically using<br />
Texoane Cosmeceuticals is a<br />
bit like a filler in a bottle.<br />
THE ADD-ONS<br />
1. 2. 3. 4.<br />
For acne<br />
While you thought you’d grow out<br />
of your teenage spots, pimples and<br />
breakouts, sometimes the ghosts of<br />
hormones past linger in the form of<br />
adult acne.<br />
The best routine is to keep skin<br />
healthy by cleansing, treating acne<br />
with specliaised skincare (look for the<br />
likes of AHAs, BHA, retinol, benzoyl<br />
peroxide, salicylic acid and azelaic<br />
acid) and protecting your skin<br />
with a lightweight moisturiser and<br />
UV blockers.<br />
Avoid overly harsh and strong<br />
skincare products which can destroy<br />
the outer layer of the epidermis and<br />
kick skin processes into high gear.<br />
This irritated, overly dry skin can<br />
begin over-producing oil to make up<br />
for the lack of moisture, perpetuating<br />
a cycle of breakouts.<br />
It goes without saying that all<br />
products you use need to be labelled<br />
as non-comedogenic, meaning it<br />
won’t clog your pores.<br />
For aged<br />
/sun-damaged skin<br />
We say aged/sun-damaged because<br />
the two go hand in hand. Apply a<br />
serum targeted to tackle the signs of<br />
ageing before moisturising. Choose<br />
products formulated with retinol,<br />
antioxidants, hyaluronic acid and<br />
peptides to help stimulate healthy<br />
collagen production and improve the<br />
appearance of wrinkles.<br />

anti-ageing.<br />
For pigmentation<br />
Freckles, age spots, sun spots, liver<br />
spots or plain old pigmentation:<br />
whatever you call it, irregular<br />
skin discolouration is a common<br />
and distressing problem caused by<br />
factors such as sun damage, some<br />
inflammatory skin disorders and<br />
hormonal fluctuations. In its various<br />
forms, pigmentation affects more than<br />
80 percent of women in their lifetime.<br />
