Just about everyone is aware that we start life with taut and smooth skin as an infant, and that as we age our skin changes too. We’ve discussed a lot of the daily habits that many people have that can age the skin faster, but we haven’t discussed what happens internally. There are numerous things that happen within our body that causes our skin to gain fine lines and wrinkles.

Consider all that it protects you from. Everyday, your skin is protecting the inside of your body from harmful bacteria and viruses that would make our bodies incredibly sick. On top of that, it repairs itself whenever we endure harm. It is consistently healing from small scratches, cuts, and even bruises. It is almost always generating new skin cells.

Your skin loses the ability to retain moisture as we age. This is partly because hormone production decreases as we get older and partly because we face harsh weather transitions that influence our body’s physical transformation too. Thankfully, the dryness of our skin is easily treated with moisturizers.

Skin loses the ability to produce as much elastin over time. Elastin, along with collagen, are proteins that are found in connective tissue within our skin. It is what allows skin to return to its original shape after we move. The loss of these proteins means that skin will begin to lose its elasticity, which will lead to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Thankfully, there are products that you can purchase in order to help combat the effects that time has on our skin. Luxiny has the perfect duo for you to use! Our Pure Hyaluronic Acid Serum helps provide your skin with the nutrients it needs in order to retain moisture and regain it’s soft, smooth, and plump appearance. Pairing it with out Vitamin C Cream creates optimum results, because our cream helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles, age spots, and provide your skin with antioxidants.

Winter can be very unkind to our skin. It’s harsh, cold, and the air is dry enough to cause our skin to lose moisture. You may feel defeated when it comes to keeping your skin moisturized during these colder months and may even think that there’s nothing you can do to prevent it, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth. We know and share your struggles, so we thought we would provide you with some advice on how you can combat dry skin this year.

Avoid long, hot showers. We know, we know! Hot showers just sound so perfect when it’s cold out. However, hot water tends to dry our skin out faster than warm or cold water. It is best to keep our showers on the warm side rather than the hot side, and even better if you cut down on your time in the shower altogether.

Moisturize immediately after you shower. Applying your lotion while your skin is still damp allows it to work deeper into the skin than it would when it is completely dry. Keep your lotion near your bathtub or shower so that it’s easily accessible after you get out.

Try to moisturize overnight. Gloves and socks should be worn outside to protect your skin from the cold, rain, and snow, but they can help you lock moisture in your skin too. You simply need to apply your lotion on your hands and feet at night, then wear a pair of cotton socks and gloves over them until the morning. You’ll wake up with your skin feeling soft and supple.

Exfoliate and apply your serums! Moisturizer can help the keep the skin from drying out, but sometimes it just isn’t enough and while your everyday routine is important, it becomes even more crucial during the winter. Exfoliating helps remove dead skin cells that would flake off otherwise during the winter (just don’t over exfoliate, two times a week is plenty). Applying your serums immediately after washing our face allows your skin to absorb them more deeply AND prepare your skin for your moisturizer. This allows for your skin to receive the maximum benefits that your moisturizer and serums can provide you. Luxiny has the top of the line Pure Hyaluronic Acid Serum that helps keep your skin hydrated, even through the difficult weather.

Hydrate from the inside out. This route won’t have immediate results like topicals treatments and lotions, but it does go a long way when it comes to keeping your skin looking healthy. Most of our body is made up of water, so it only makes sense that staying hydrated internally will keep all our cells healthy, including our skin cells.

Use a humidifier. Once we start turning the heat on in our homes, the moisture in the air evaporates. This can cause your skin to become dry, itchy and cracked. Using a humidifier moisture back into the air and will help prevent this from taking place.

These are just a few suggestions that we have that can help you keep your skin moisturized this winter. It’s a tough battle, but with the help of Luxiny’s products, it’s one you can win. Visit our website to find out more!

Our skin is our largest organ, and its purpose is to protect all our inside organs. Our skin comes into contact with tons of bacteria, stressors, and pollution every day that would normally cause harm to our internal organs. There are things that could be doing more damage than necessary to your skin than you. It is so important to protect our skin because it acts as a barrier for all our other organs. By doing so, we are doing our best to protect all our organs inside too, therefore, leading to an overall healthier life.

Are you knowingly damaging your skin?

Our skin faces the harsh effects of our environment every hour of every day. While everyone has different skin types that require different kinds of care, there are things that you could be doing that would make anyone’s skin age faster. Knowing what these habits are could help you protect your skin in the long run, so we’ve put together a list that might help you prevent premature aging.

1. Spending too much time in the sun!

Many people love to tan and bask out in the sun on a perfectly good summer day. The sun can cause serious damage and injury to our skin cells though. Once the cells are injured irreparably, you are more prone to aging and skin cancer. It’s best to try to set a limit on how much time you spend in direct sunlight. Likewise, you should always apply sunscreen to help protect your skin during the time that you spend in the sun and avoid tanning beds.

2. Smoking doesn’t just take its toll on your lungs.

Almost everyone is aware that smoking wreaks havoc on your lungs and heart, but it can also cause more wrinkles! Smoking does similar things to what the sun does to our skin, only it works from the inside out. It makes our skin appear tired, and it also yellows the skin, slows wound healing, and it interferes with the skin’s blood supply.

3. We know that pimple is annoying, but don’t touch your face!

The urge can be hard to resist, we know. Picking at or popping pimples can make things worse or cause scarring. By touching your face consistently can transfer germs, dirt, bacteria, and sweat from your hands onto your face if your hands have not been recently washed. This could cause the breakdown of more skin cells, or make your breakout spread.

4. Yet another reason you’ll want to stay hydrated.

You need water for every other organ in your body to function properly. What makes you think that your skin would be any different? Water provides your skin with a strong base for maintaining sweat and oil glands functionality, both of which aid in the ability to regulate the health of our skin. Water optimizes your skin health.

This is also part of the reason that alcohol will age your skin faster. Alcohol both dehydrates the body and causes inflammation. If you are going to drink alcohol it is best to make sure that you balance it with many glasses of water.

5. Avoid the sugars.

Sugars have a very negative effect on the collagen, elastin, and protein fibers in our body and those are the main contributors to young and healthy skin. By avoiding sugars, your body will be able to produce these properly and keep your skin looking younger longer.

6. Work on a steady sleep schedule.

Most Americans aren’t getting the proper amount of sleep every night and it’s not just affecting their brain’s ability to function at it’s best. Your skin does most of its repairing and rejuvenating while you are asleep. Not getting enough sleep makes your skin look dull and less lifelike.

As you can see, making small adjustments to your daily routines and habits can help you achieve healthier and younger-looking skin. While we want to provide you with facts that can help you change the appearance of your skin on a daily basis, Luxiny also has products that can help you keep your skin looking younger and help you reach your skincare goals.

It’s no surprise that hyaluronic acid is such a popular product for skincare. It provides the hydration and nutrients that our skin begins to lose as we age. It helps replenish hydration, improves the elasticity of the skin, and helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles. However, hyaluronic acid can come in different molecular weights and providing different effects on your skin.

Hyaluronic Acid is the main component of the extracellular matrix in our body. It is one of the key players in tissue regeneration and repair. It’s kind of obvious that when hyaluronic acid depletes in our bodies as we get older, that we would begin to lose the elasticity in our skin and wrinkles would begin to appear. This is why skincare companies have created hyaluronic acid serums, to help us battle this issue and allow it to be reabsorbed into the skin. Some serums are more beneficial than others, simply based on the molecular size of hyaluronic acid that they use.

Luxiny has chosen to use high molecular weight hyaluronic acid because unlike a low molecular weight it contains healing properties and does not elicit an inflammation response. Our high molecular weight serum provides our customers with the following benefits:

• Instant volume that plumps the skin
• Moisture surge
• Replenished suppleness
• Smoothed fine lines and wrinkles

In today’s society, self-care is becoming more necessary than ever before. There is so much stimulating us daily. Whether it’s our drive for success, to be the perfect mother, friend, or daughter, staying on top of personal goals and achievements, keeping a clean house, too much technology, personal life or family struggles, keeping yourself healthy, or any other multitude of life’s tasks – it can all add up t be extremely overwhelming and stressful. This will eventually lead to burnout. Self-care helps us maintain our health, enthusiasm for life, and allows us to present our best selves to the rest of the world.

What is “Self-Care”?

Self-care is the practice of caring for yourself during our crazy, chaotic, and busy schedules. It doesn’t always amount to one right thing It is meant to be the things that relax you and helps you clear your mind, in order to feel more energized and focused when you go back to more complicated tasks. It sounds simple, right? Why do we struggle with making ourselves a priority?

Self-Care is Not Selfish.

People often say that they are too busy for self-care routines. A lot of times, it’s not that we are too busy for self-care, it merely takes a back seat to ambition because our society has created a sense of obligation to say yes to everything we are asked to do. We don’t make the time for it because we are afraid that we won’t have time to finish other important tasks. The more we do this though, the more burnt out we will become. This will cause us to lose energy, feel emotionally drained, and lose motivation in the long run though. By allowing ourselves to feel more relaxed and become healthier, we are allowing ourselves to put our best foot forward in everything else that we do.

What Are Some Approaches to Self-Care?

Self-care is feeding the need to take care of your physical and mental health. There isn’t always a right way to care for yourself. You need to do what works for you, whether it’s yoga, journaling, or getting outside, you deserve to do it. Some of the top suggestions that we’ve come across that have helped many other people are:

• Reading
• Spend time outside
• Get a massage
• Say “no” to extra obligations without guilt
• Journaling
• Exercise
• Yoga
• Meditation and deep breathing
• Unplug from technology for a few hours
• Take a fun class
• Take a long bath and read some magazines
• Light some candles and have a glass of wine
• Do your skincare routine and apply a face mask

As you can see, there are so many ways to care for yourself and recharge. It is so important for your well-being to make the effort to care for yourself. Luxiny’s skincare line can help you with your self-care skincare routines. Check out our website to find out more!  

Many people rely on their skincare routine to be the only thing to bring them clear, glowing, and youthful skin. While you should be aware of what you are putting on your skin, that is not the only factor that will give you the results that you’re looking for. What you digest has a significant effect on the health of every organ in your body – including your skin!

Your skin acts as a backup for your liver when it is overburdened with toxins that need to be eliminated. When your skin begins to eliminate these toxins, it can cause a multitude of skin issues and even make your skin age faster. It’s no surprise that a healthy diet should be incorporated to work towards your best skin.

Most people eat the same five to ten meals, because it’s simple to do during our busy routine schedules. If you make sure that these meals are well balanced, then getting the proper nutrients to get healthier skin should be pretty simple. Some key ingredients to help you obtain healthier skin are:

• Vitamin A (Too much vitamin A can lead to toxic side effects. Limit your daily intake to about 10,000 IU)
• Zinc
• Vitamins E and C
• Omega-3 fatty acids
• Plenty of water!

 Sounds easy, right? Just like there are foods that you should have in your diet, there are also foods that should be removed. Chocolates, junk foods, dairy, and simple sugars are very difficult for the body to process. It can be kind of tricky to eliminate these from your diet completely, but that’s where moderation is key.

At Luxiny we recommend maintaining a healthy diet in combination with using our products in order to get the best results possible. We only use the finest ingredients in our products that provide your skin with the nutrients it needs to help you gain a more youthful and healthier glow.

Many people don’t realize how important having a skincare routine is, but it is more common that people just don’t know the correct order that they should apply their skincare products. It is often believed that it is a simple wash-and-go process, but there is an art to the best skin care routines. Having the right routine will help you produce the best results and care for your skin the way it should be cared for.

What is the best process?

There are good reasons that there is a specific order to use your products. Some enhance the features of other products, some prepare the skin for the next product, and some provide your skin with the nourishment that it needs when necessary.

1. Remove your makeup. The first step should always require you to remove what is currently on your face. Just jumping into washing it with a cleanser may not allow the cleanser to do its full job, because it will need to fight through the makeup to even get to the pores and dirt underneath.
2. Wash your face with a cleanser. For this step, it is best to use lukewarm water. Warm water helps lift the dirt out of your skin, but hot water can dry your skin out. Our Glycolic Acid Face Wash is great for making sure that all the dirt is removed, and your skin is prepared for the next steps in your skincare routine.
3. Apply your serum. Serums are incredible for your skin. They can address many different skin issues, like anti-aging, moisturizing, redness, and more. Our Pure Hyaluronic Acid Serum provides anti-aging properties, great moisturization, and even enhances the effects of your moisturizer. The best part is that it does so without leaving your skin feeling greasy or leaving a residue behind!
4. Don’t forget to moisturize. You will get moisture from your serum, but your moisturizer will not only add more hydration, but it will also prevent water loss and help protect your skin. Our Vitamin C Cream provides great moisturization, anti-aging properties, reduced hyperpigmentation, and even antioxidant protection.

While you can use any products that you want to complete your skincare routine, we highly recommend using all three of our products together for the best results possible. We only include the highest quality ingredients in our products, and we are a cruelty-free company that refuses to test on animals. To find out more information visit our website.

Using vitamin C as a topical has been the talk of the town for a little while now, but that’s no surprise considering all its benefits. It is full of antioxidants to protect against free radicals, it improves healing responses in your skin, and even helps reduce the appearance of scars or acne marks. Our Vitamin C Cream even takes it a step farther and contains sodium ascorbyl phosphate, which is a vitamin C derivative that is even better for your skin!

How Does it Help Your Skin?

The antioxidants contained in Vitamin C have been proven to help protect your skin from free radicals. This means that they can develop and repair themselves without abnormalities. Free radicals in our environment are one of the leading causes of aging skin, dark spots, wrinkles, and even cancer. Protecting your skin from free radicals is far less expensive than trying to treat the resulting issues later in life.

Vitamin C contains anti-inflammatory properties. This helps reduce redness and clear your skin from acne or acne scars. Using our Vitamin C Cream daily can help significantly reduce the pigmentation of scars caused by acne.

Lastly, vitamin C is a collagen booster! Collagen production is necessary in order to obtain firm, flexible, and healthy skin. It is the most abundant protein in the human body and is considered the glue that holds our bodies together. As we age, the collagen depletes in our skin, the integrity of our skin declines. This is one of the top causes of lines and wrinkles. Boosting collagen production allows us to help our body restore it’s natural and youthful glow.

Why You Should Choose Luxiny’s Vitamin C Cream.

While Vitamin C is safe for most skin types, it can sometimes be an irritant. Luxiny uses a vitamin C derivative called Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate. Sodium ascorbyl phosphate is a more gentle and stable approach to obtaining the benefits of vitamin C, without having to worry about agitating your skin.  We have also included jojoba seed oil and squalane, to add nourishing moisture that absorbs into the skin deeply without leaving your skin greasy.

Luxiny is a cruelty-free skincare line that does not and will not test on animals. Our goal is to help you achieve the youthful, healthy glow that you’ve always wanted, and we only use ingredients that are proven to help you do just that.

Many people don’t realize just how important a skin care routine really is. Our skin is the largest organ in our bodies. It works incredibly hard to protect our bodies every day from harmful elements in our environment. Taking care of your skin is a true necessity because it helps this organ do its job longer and more efficiently. This can be done through a simple daily skincare routine.

Reasons Why You Should Have a Skincare Routine.

• Preventing skin problems is easier than trying to treat them. Taking the time to take care of your skin in a daily routine is much easier than seeing dermatologists or trying to correct skin issues later. In most cases, skin issues are a result of neglect or the lack of a healthy skincare routine.
• We shed skin cells daily. Your skin might look healthy today, but your body rids itself of old skin cells almost every minute of every day. The healthy skin that you have today will be shedding tomorrow. Taking care of it now will help prevent your skin from looking dull or less perfect.
• A skincare routine will save you money. Things like acne scars, deep wrinkles, skin discolorations, or the multitude of other skin issues, are costly to deal with and attempt to repair. Having a skincare routine can help save you from expensive dermatologist visits or even plastic surgeons in the future by keeping your skin as healthy as possible now.
• A healthy, beautiful glow is a lifelong commitment. You need to be making decisions to improve your skin today if you want beautiful skin years down the road. The lack of a skincare routine can have very negative effects on your skin in the future. Taking up a skincare routine can help you keep your skin looking young for much, much longer.
• It’s a total confidence booster! We all glow a little different when we feel confident. Your face is the first thing everyone sees upon meeting you. When you feel confident in the skin you’re in, it shows.

Luxiny wants to help you put your best face forward. We pride ourselves on having natural or naturally derived ingredients and being a cruelty-free skincare company. Visit our website today to find out how our products can help you!

Hyaluronic Acid is not the newest ingredient on the market, but it has been tried and proven throughout the past. Though the word “acid” is somewhat misleading, you can rest assured that hyaluronic acid isn’t harsh on your skin at all. In reality, it’s a highly beneficial ingredient. This article will explain why it should be included in your skincare routine daily.

What Exactly is Hyaluronic Acid?

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a natural compound that is found within our bodies. Nearly one-third of the HA in our bodies is found in our skin. It one of the strongest components in our extra-cellular matrix that provides the tissue with structural support. It binds with water present in your skin in order to help retain moisture.  HA tends to decrease in our bodies as we age. When this happens, the skin loses its pliability, resilience, and moisture.

Why HA Should Be Part of Your Skincare Routine.

Using a hyaluronic acid serum can return moisture to your skin. Loss of moisture is one of the main culprits of premature aging. Using HA will help you reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It can also boost the performance of your other skincare products. The best part is, hyaluronic acid is non-comedogenic, which means that it won’t clog your pores. It won’t cause any breakouts or other skin issues caused by bacteria build-up when it is used to moisturize.

Why You Should Choose Luxiny.

Our Pure Hyaluronic Acid Serum is the purest form of this compound available. It absorbs deeply in order to replenish your skin’s hydration levels. Our formula has the ability to tailor itself to each unique skin type by attracting the right amount of moisture that it needs. This provides the following benefits:

• Improved elasticity
• Reduced signs of aging (lines, wrinkles, age spots)
• Promoted healing
• Boosts the performance of other products

Our serum is derived from plants, allowing us to maintain our standards for natural or naturally derived ingredients. When choosing Luxiny, you are choosing a company that cares.
