Know Your Acids | AHAs & BHAs

Alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs) are highly effective anti-aging ingredients, clinically proven to reduce the signs of photoaging. When applied topically, AHAs and BHAs are known to diminish fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin tone, elasticity, and hydration, and reduce hyperpigmentation.

Alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) are organic acids found naturally in plants (glycolic acid) or sour milk (lactic acid); they may also be produced synthetically for use in cosmetic applications. They are widely known for their ability to improve the appearance and texture of aging skin by reducing fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and scarring. When topically applied, AHAs work on both the dermis and epidermis to improve skin health and appearance. On the surface, AHAs help dissolve the “glue” that holds dead skin cells together, encouraging skin cell sloughing from the epidermis and reducing the build up of dry, dead skin cells (a process known as keratinization).  Moving deeper into the dermis, AHAs effectively reduce the signs of photoaging by improving the quality of elastin fibers, increasing collagen density, and increasing dermal thickness.  AHAs also make skin more receptive to moisturization from topically applied products.  Because their small molecular size allows for increased skin penetration, glycolic and lactic acids are the most effective and commonly used AHAs.  Other AHAs used in skin care formulations include malic acid, citric acid, and tartaric acid.

   

BETA-HYDROXY ACIDS (BHAs)

Similar to AHAs, BHAs are organic acids that are commonly used in skin care preparations to treat the signs of aging, acne, and psoriasis through chemical exfoliation. When applied topically, they are also known to support improved skin barrier function, increase skin thickness, and promote collagen synthesis. Unlike AHAs, BHAs are lipid rather than water soluble, allowing them to pen- etrate the skin through follicles and aid exfoliation within pores. This property makes BHAs particularly useful in the treatment of oily skin, or for those suffer- ing from clogged pores and acne. BHAs also have anti-inflammatory and anti- bacterial properties that make them effective in addressing common dermatological problems. The most commonly used BHA is salicylic acid.

Firm It Up!

Celloxylin Firming Complex
Products are formulated with different characteristics in order to provide unique benefits to the skin. Apriori Beauty’s Celloxylin® Firming Complex is a light, easily absorbed serum, thin consistency is ideal for delivering a concentrated boost of anti-aging NutrientReservoir™ ingredients deep into skin.

A friend contacted me about Apriori Beauty and asked me to try some samples. I have had a deep crease in between my eyes that’s been getting so bad I’ve contemplated getting botox. After just a few days of using the sample products the crease has decreased to a minimal wrinkle. I can’t wait to get my order of Firming Complex and see what other wrinkles disappear. It’s amazing! — Sara, MO

Firming Complex contains ingredients known to provide collagen and elastin support, combat oxida¬tive stress, promote skin hydration, and reduce the signs of environmentally induced aging. To maximize the benefits of the Firming Complex, apply immediately after Activating Tonic; the humectant ingredients inActivating Tonic help maximize absorption of the Firming Complex. After applying, let the Firming Complex dry completely to ensure that the beneficial ingredients fully penetrate the skin. Once dried, apply moisturizer to provide a protective, hydrating layer to lock nutrients deep into the skin, where they can provide the greatest benefits!

KEY FIRMING INGREDIENTS:

Acetyl Octapeptide-3 | Acetyl Octapeptide-3 is a peptide ingredient, clinically proven to reduce the depth of wrinkles on the face caused by the contraction of muscles of facial expression, especially in the forehead and around the eyes.

Acetyl Glucosamine | N-acetyl glucosamine (NAG) is a precursor for the synthesis of hyaluronic acid, an integral part of the connective tissue that holds cells together and supports cell membrane structure. Through thestimulation of hyaluronic acid synthesis, NAG is known to improve skin hydration, promote wound healing, reduce hyperpigmentation, and decrease fine lines and wrinkles via topical use.

Ubiquinone (CoQ10) | Conenzyme-Q10, also known as ubiquinone or CoQ10, is a fat soluble antioxidant found throughout the body that plays an important role in cellular energy production. As a skin care ingredient in both topical and internal formulations, CoQ10 is known to penetrate the skin to protect against oxidative stress and photodamage, and to effectively reduce the depth and appearance of wrinkles.

How Often Should I Exfoliate?

By allnaturalantiagingskincareaprioribeauty

Question — How often should I exfoliate? 
With age, the rate at which natural skin cell turnover occurs slows significantly. When skin cells are not shed properly from the skin’s surface, they can begin to accumulate and cause skin to be rough, dry, flaky, and dull looking. Exfoliation is an important step in a healthy skin care regimen because it helps reduce the accumulation of dead cells at the skin’s surface, and promotes healthy skin cell turnover.
Though exfoliation is an important step in promoting healthy skin, it is important to not overdo it! Over-exfoliation can actually damage the skin’s barrier function and cause skin dryness or irritation. The outermost layer of your skin forms a protective barrier against the environment — you want to maintain enough of the outer skin cells layers to effectively keep out pathogens, toxins, and other irritants and keep in essential moisture. Exfoliation is primarily a means of improving skin appearance by removing skin cell buildup that is not efficiently shedding on its own. Increasing the frequency of exfoliation beyond a healthy point will not help your skin, but with regular exfoliation you can definitely see a gradual improvement in skin tone, texture, and appearance.
To help benefit your skin, it is generally recommended that you exfoliate 1-3 times per week; the exact amount can depend on your particular skin type and exposure to environmental factors that cause skin damage. For example, oily skin tends to experience breakouts if skin is not able to slough out easily, so an individual with oily skin may exfoliate more frequently than someone with normal or sensitive skin.
When designing a regimen suited to your needs, be sure to assess how your skin feels before and after exfoliating to determine the frequency that is best for you! You can also chose to exfoliate using a mechanical exfoliant like theCelloxylin Enzyme Activated Micro Scrub, or a chemical exfoliant such as theCelloxylin MD 20EX Acid Peel. Both products are a great addition to your daily skin care regimen and will help you achieve brighter, healthier, and younger looking skin by removing dead skin cell buildup and revealing the radiant skin below!

Is it really important to use a skin care regimen?

Importance of a Skin Care Regimen
What’s your favorite skin care product? Now ask yourself: can that product provide every benefit you desire to achieve beautiful, healthy skin? Chances are the answer is no.

We all have our favorite products, but it’s unlikely that there’s one “silver bullet” product out there that can fill all of your skin’s needs. The skin around your eyes and lips is physiologically different from that on your forehead, cheeks, or chin. A brilliantly formulated, moisturizing cleanser is still unlikely to provide the hydrating boost that a moisturizing cream can . . . It is for these kinds of reasons that a regimen — a skin care system that incorporates a carefully chosen combination of products in conjunction with one another — is often the most effective way to make skin look and feel beautiful.

Why use a complete regimen?

1) Different formulations provide unique benefits to skin. 
Example — Serums penetrate easily to deliver anti-aging ingredients deep into skin, but do not hydrate like creams and lotions. Celloxylin Firming Complex is designed to deliver a boost of anti-aging ingredients deep into skin, while Day Defense Plus and Night Repair 3Deep help form a protective barrier against moisture loss from the skin’s surface.

2) Layering products in a strategic way allows for the most effective delivery of beneficial ingredients.
Example — Humectant ingredients such as Tremella fuciformis extract in the Activating Tonic help skin drink in hydrating ingredients from the Firming Complex. If you apply Firming Complex immediately after Activating Tonic (while skin is still moist), your skin will be able to better utilize the its complete anti-aging benefits.

3) Different parts of your skin have different needs.
Example — The area around your eyes and lips produces less natural oil than the rest of your face, and is more prone to premature aging from repetitive movement. The Eye + Lip Age Eraser is slightly thicker than a full-face cream, and is jam packed with anti-aging ingredients to protect and nourish the delicate skin around the eyes and lips.

The Celloxylin® daily regimen for face from Apriori Beauty utilizes products that work synergistically to deliver maximum anti-aging results. The regimen is complimented by Lifeoxylin® Cellular Defense Elixir, the ultimate in internal antioxidant and anti-aging protection. Lifeoxylin + Celloxylin combined provide complete internal + external support to nourish and protect your skin, helping you achieve the healthier, younger looking skin you desire.
