Think about the revolution that cold-pressing brought to the culinary world: olive oils, juices and even coffee. If you don’t heat biologic oils, if you don’t use chemical solvents to remove them from their plant, you retain the vitamins, micro-nutrients, even natural scents. So, imagine all of the goodness going into your skincare regiment . . . that’s exactly what they do at OZNaturals! I was happy to be hosted to experience it.
Are you using a serum? Look, you don’t have to incorporate 12 steps in your skincare to make a radical improvement in how you look, how all of your other products work. A serum is a light, thin-consistency fluid concentrated with active ingredients, which you select according to your complexion’s needs. This goes on just before your moisturizer. If it’s hot and humid out or if your complexion is too ravaged for moisturizer, a serum will deliver easy-to-wear benefits.
OZNaturals makes four serums! As your face is not the same from day to day, from season to season, it makes sense that you may want to keep more than one on hand.
Pro-Retaxinol 2.5 Retinol Serum should be your go-to if you have blemishes, large pores, discolorations and signs of aging. This will not irritate your skin, but you should be extra careful about wearing sunscreen. Retinol is a form of Vitamin A and ingredients like this used to only be available from the dermatologist’s office. It does not have any discernible scent and it has a consistency of just a little bit more gel like than pure water. Give it a couple of minutes before applying cosmetics. It’s 99% natural, with these key ingredients:
Retinol – Also known as Vitamin A, this proven ingredient increases skin cell turnover and helps address many of the visible signs of aging.
Astaxanthin – This renowned ‘super antioxidant’ is found in marine plants, and up to hundreds of times stronger than all other antioxidants.
Hyaluronic Acid – Deeply moisturizes and plumps skin, while providing continuous moisture by binding up to 1000 times its weight in water.
Vitamin E – Strengthens the skin’s barrier function and helps prevent dehydration and damage.
Vitamin C Serum Serum is good for those with dark spot or age spots and can also assist with acne. If you get those summer freckles that don’t seem to fade when the weather turns cold, this is for you. Housed in a dark glass bottle, it keeps the difficult to stabilize Vitamin C from turning. It has the same thin, liquid-gel consistency as the other serums. It’s 98.1% natural with a faint citrus fruit scent. Here are its key ingredients:
Vitamin C20 – Provides protection from damaging free radicals and supports the production of collagen.
Astaxanthin – This renowned ‘super antioxidant’ is found in marine plants, and is up to hundreds of times stronger than all other antioxidants.
Hyaluronic Acid – Deeply moisturizes and plumps skin, while providing continuous moisture by binding up to 1000 times its weight in water.
Vitamin E- Strengthens the skin’s barrier function and helps prevent dehydration and damage.
Rose Hips – This natural source of antioxidant is high in essential fatty acids which are needed for healthy, beautiful skin.
Green Tea – Contains polyphenols which can prevent damage from UV light and other environmental hazards.
Vitamin C + AHA Facial Serum is a heavy hitter in the anti-aging game. This will be addressing lines, muddy skin tone, all the classic signs of aging. This is definitely for drier, older skin. If your hands are looking scary, you’ll love it! Because really, have regular hand creams ever really helped you? I detected a slightly thinner consistency than the other serums. It also has a faint citrus scent. It’s 97% natural. Here are its key ingredients:
Vitamin C20 – Provides protection from damaging free radicals and supports the production of collagen.
Alpha Hydroxy Acid – Glycolic acid, the smallest of the alpha-hydroxy acids, deeply penetrates the skin to gently exfoliate and restore the skin’s ideal pH balance.
Vitamin E – Strengthens the skin’s barrier function and helps prevent dehydration and damage.
If your skin is parched, if makeup is looking patchy on your dehydrated — can be oily or dry — skin, Hyaluronic Acid Serum is for you. This ingredient is known to hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water! So, here’s a secret: use a humidifier in your room to help it out. It’s also genius all around your mouth and laugh lines. It helps you get that plumped up skin look. It has no discernible scent. This is the most soothing of the serums. Here are its key ingredients:
Hyaluronic Acid – Deeply moisturizes and plumps skin, while providing continuous moisture by binding up to 1000 times its weight in water.
Vitamin C – Provides protection from damaging free radicals and supports the production of collagen.
