Why Every Client Needs Topical Antioxidants | by Cynthia Rivas
studied , and scientifically proven effective antioxidant is L Ascorbic Acid . All these potent antioxidants happen to be found in iS Clinical products !
I believe in educating my clients and empowering them with the knowledge of why certain products should be used or avoided if necessary .
Having some free radicals in the body can be a good thing , as they help to fight off pathogens .
Why Every Skincare Professional Should Use Antioxidants
Antioxidants have the ability to repair damage and maintain healthy skin . They prevent tissue damage by preventing the formation of free radicals by neutralizing them if present and by literally hunting them down ! As an aesthetician , knowing that antioxidants reduce inflammation in the skin is very helpful when providing skincare treatments . It makes my job less challenging because it ’ s easier to treat healthy skin . For example , I like to prep the skin with antioxidants pre- and post-chemical peels . I know my clients will have better results from a chemical peel if their skin is healthy prior to a chemical peel . Don ’ t forget that Vitamin C also helps to even out skin tone . If I treat a client in the office with a chemical peel for hyperpigmentation , a Vitamin C product at home will help the client see better results . I can also reduce their post-peel downtime by incorporating antioxidants such as
Vitamin A , C , and E in their post-care regimen to reduce inflammation and speed up healing . One of my favorite products to use post-chemical peels is the iS Clinical Pro Heal Serum Advanced .
Benefits Of Using Antioxidants
Antioxidants are amazing at repairing the skin . Depending on which antioxidant you use , there is so much versatility to treat different skin conditions . For example , Vitamin C works much better on evening skin tone than Vitamin E . There are many benefits that can be visibly seen by using antioxidants in your skincare regimen . For starters , antioxidants can visibly improve skin texture , fine lines and wrinkles , redness / ruddiness , inflammation , scars ( acne scars that are pink , or flattening a raised scar ), skin tone , create a natural glow , reduce dullness , and improve hyperpigmentation . They also prevent the destruction of collagen , stimulate the production of new collagen , minimize the transfer of melanin to the melanocytes ,
