The most effective way to combat aging skin, sun damage, pigmentation, lines and wrinkles is by combining corrective treatments offered within Esteem with an effective home skincare regime. Esteem’s choice – SkinCeuticals.

They are our choice of products for one reason alone – they have the scientific research evidence to prove their products actually deliver results.

WHY SKIN AGES

Exposure to elements like sun, smoke, and air pollution can cause premature wrinkling, age spots, and other signs of aging.

New research specifically shows that UVA rays, one section of the sun’s radiation, are responsible for many of the premature signs of aging in the skin, particularly wrinkles.

WHAT WILL PROPERLY PROTECT THE SKIN

The best protection from UVA radiation is to wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen that blocks both UVA & UVB rays. These sunscreens use zinc oxide which protects from both UVA and UVB rays. The Esteem team will advise you on the appropriate use of a sun filter to suit your skin type and your situation. For example, a strong waterproof sun filter is recommended for the beach, whilst a more subtle cosmetic sun filter with a makeup base may be better for day-to-day use at the office. Sun filter preparations for sensitive skins are also available.

The body uses antioxidants to protect itself from free radical attack caused by UV exposure. Supplementing the body’s natural reservoir of antioxidants with a topical Vitamin C, has been shown to work below the skin’s surface to neutralise free radicals and protect against UV damage. Without a doubt, the most exciting Vitamin C formulation available at Esteem is the SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic.

Both Vitamins C & E are very powerful antioxidants which work well together as the Vitamin C helps replenish Vitamin E when it is inactivated. This patented product lets high concentrations of these very potent antioxidants enter the skin. The affects of this are far reaching and include protection against UV exposure, stimulation of new collagen formation, enhanced immune protection, improvement in photo-aging changes, reduction of inflammation and promotion of healing.
