Peptides: you need this for your skin

What, actually, are Peptides? Peptides are short chains of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins like collagen and elastin. These proteins are essential for maintaining skin's structure and firmness. What do I need them for? Peptides Stimulate Collagen Production: Peptides can signal to the skin to produce more collagen, which helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. They Are Able to Improve Skin Elasticity: Different types of peptides contribute to the production of elastin, which improves skin's elasticity and firmness. They Strengthen the Skin Barrier: Peptides can help to strengthen the skin's natural barrier, protecting it from environmental damage. Ideal to Reduce Inflammation: Some peptides have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help to soothe irritated skin. Additional Hydration: Peptides can enhance the skin's ability to retain moisture. The effectiveness of peptides can vary depending on the specific type of peptide and the formulation of the product. Peptides are long-distance runners. Consistent use is key to seeing results. Peptides can be a valuable addition to a skincare routine, particularly for those looking to address signs of aging and improve overall skin health. For now, my favourite peptide serum is @dear_klairs Maple Energy Infusing Serum bought at @yesstyle 🤎

The Dear Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream is a soothing and calming skin treatment designed to comfort and soothe sensitive or inflamed skin. It's formulated to rapidly calm and soothe skin sensitivity, and strengthen the skin barrier while it promotes cell regeneration. It contains key ingredients like Guaiazulene and Centella Asiatica. The blue color of the cream comes from Guaiazulene. It's a natural blue botanical extract that comes from chamomile oil and has anti-inflammatory properties that help to calm inflamed skin. Centella Asiatica is also known for its skin-soothing and healing properties. It's used widely for being gentle and efficacious to reactive skin. Klairs Blue Calmimg Cream also contains six peptides in its formula which stimulate collagen production for a plumped look and bouncier elasticity. The Dear Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream is recommended for dry, sensitive, and combination skin. It's formulated to provide rapid relief for irritated, red, and sensitive skin, making it ideal for those with dry or dehydrated skin as well. Dear Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream can be used as an overnight treatment which is how I like to use it. It can help repair damage to skin and strengthen the skin barrier during the night. I wake up with a soft and smooth complexion every time. It's formulated to be absorbed quickly into the skin so it doesn't leave a heavy or greasy feeling, and I can sleep comfortably while wearing it to bed. It will also give me rapid relief for when my skin is over-stressed, itchy, irritated, and red. The formulation of ingredients in Klairs Blue Calmimg Cream helps to hydrate, repair, and strengthen my skin barrier too so I know its protected. I like using it if my skin is just dry or dehydrated as well. Use it at night on cleansed, toned, skin just before bedtime or any time your skin is feeling irritated, uncomfortable, and or dry during the day. Just be sure to apply sunscreen after it's all absorbed.

I won the 𝐼𝒮𝒩𝒯𝑅𝐸𝐸 TW-REAL BIFIDA AMPOULE in a giveaway from @stylevana. I was so lucky to win this great product, and this is my first time trying Isntree product out. ——— The new packaging came out with the frosty glass bottle looks so beautiful. I've been interested in anti-aging products lately, so I was so excited to try this product out. It contains active ingredients that are beneficial to the skin. It has a great texture consistency which is transparent and watery. Plus, it's fragrance-free. My skin is nourishing and moisturizing. I have not seen a clear improvement in fine lines yet, but this ampoule makes my skin look happier, healthier, and brighter. This ampoule is a perfect base to layer under the make-up.

This panthenol repair cream combats fine lines and wrinkles, acne marks and marks and dark spots. The cream contains skin healing and repairing ingredients this ensuring a healthy skin barrier. I’ve been using it in conjunction with their retinol and very satisfied.

I bought this serum to try out, for I was intrigued by really "clean" ingredient list. It is light, not greasy and not watery. Centella Unscented Serum, as promised, has neither scent nor colour. Yet you need a rather generous amount to cover the whole face, as it absorbs in an eye wink. However, such velocity is not that bad, making the serum perfect to be used under some cream. I use Purito Centella Green Level Revovery Cream, in such way Centella properties are more prominent and effective. Results: - the serum soothes acne, if not too severe; - improves skin texture; - doesn't clog pores; - isn't very hydrating.

#skincarereview First things first: What are peptides and why would you want a serum like this in your routine? Peptides are amino acids that make up proteins. There are tons of different peptides in skincare: 🔍Signaling peptides work to stimulate new collagen and elastin production. 🔍Enzyme-inhibiting peptides block the enzymes that break down or degrade collagen. 🔍Carrier peptides deliver minerals to the skin that are essential for specific processes like cross-linking collagen and wound healing. 🔍Neurotransmitter-inhibiting peptides help to reduce wrinkle formation. 💜Why I‘ve been loving the 6 Peptide Complex Serum: This serum contains 6 (poly-)peptides from the different categories above to target signs of premature aging. Among others: Copper Tripeptide-1, one of my faves for wellaging: It’s a carrier of copper which is a critical component involved in the formation of enzymes/antioxidants that help with collagen production. In addition to humectants that bind water and help hydrate the skin, it contains Arginine and Adenosine. Arginine helps build skin collagen & hair keratin (that‘s why I‘m using this on my scalp as well) and Adenosine helps with regeneration and (wound) healing. This is a very focused and no-frills wellaging serum which is so lightweight that it can be used by any skintype (please adjust the rest of your routine accordingly). Free of fragrance, EOs and alcohol. It just needed a bit of consistent use, but then: glowing, firmer skin…

How do you prepare your eyes before going out? My mom uses eye patches as an express remedy to make her look brighter for the evening. @pyunkangyul Black Tea Time Reserve Eye Patches were her Christmas present. And she says that these ones are perfectly moist to refresh and not to slide down while getting ready. Convenient for those always in a hurry. The patches have cooling, calming and pumping effect and can temporarily hide lines and wrinkles, not able to fight dark circles though.
