Get That Red Carpet Glow With Solvaderm

Ever wondered how movie stars get that red carpet look? You see photos of them on a coffee run looking normal, and then you see them on the red carpet looking like a Greek goddess. It’s no secret that in the run-up to awards season, most A List actresses go all out to look their best. Personal trainers to work up a sweat, chefs to make lettuce leaves enticing, top hair stylists and makeup artists to primp and preen them on the day and, of course, thousands of dollars of couture gowns and jewelry on loan to make them sparkle from head to toe. These are things that are out of the reach of most of us, but the fresh, dewy skin they are wearing is well within our grasp. There are a number of wonder ingredients that in recent years have found their way into products by companies such as Solvaderm, below is our guide to the skincare secrets of the stars.

Glycolic Acid
One of a number of alpha hydroxy acids which are derived from fruits such as pineapple, grapes and melons, glycolic is the resurfacing acid that gets rid of all the old worn out dead skin cells to reveal newer, fresher ones just below the surface. As the active ingredient in chemical peels, glycolic is the most powerful of the AHA’s, however when combined with other fruit acids it makes an excellent home exfoliant treatment. Solvaderm has a proprietary blend called Glowpeel which includes glycolic and a number of other AHA’s and when used a few times a week, can achieve remarkable results in a few weeks by eradicating irregularities and freshening the skin.

Hyaluronic Acid
With a smooth surface and clear skin created by the glycolic acid, hyaluronic acid is used to create that youthful look so many actresses manage to maintain. Like collagen, the skin already contains this compound which keeps skin supple and it diminishes with age.  Responsible for that plump appearance that youthful skin has, many anti-ageing products contain hyaluronic acid. When added to intense oil-based moisturizers such as squalane, a combination found in Solvaderm’s Stemuderm, it has the ability to make fine lines and wrinkles far less noticeable and gives the skin a dewy, fresh appearance.

Hexapeptides
These may sound like something to do with witchcraft but in fact, hexapeptides are nature’s answer to botox. These amino acids have an action that works to relax the facial muscles when topically applied so that the appearance of wrinkles is reduced. Peptides are a type of amino acid which are the building blocks of the cells of the human body. They occur in different sequences creating different reactions in the skin and Solvaderm’s Stemuderm anti-wrinkle treatment is packed full of them from Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, which has the mechanism mentioned above to Palmitoyl Oligopeptide which helps increase skin’s elasticity.

All these options will have you looking red carpet ready without breaking the bank, so what are you waiting for? Get glowing!

Solvaderm, the Science Behind the Skincare

Have you ever wondered how skincare products are developed? We often hear about homemade remedies that our grandmothers and great grandmothers cooked up from ingredients found in their kitchen cupboards. With the trend in recent years towards healthy eating and living, some might be inclined to see store bought products as being less natural than those that are homemade. The truth, however, is that in advanced skincare development, companies such as Solvaderm have identified the science behind grandma's skin cream and developed it into products that deliver all the natural goodness but with a consistent result. The active ingredients are isolated then refined into tried and tested doses that are proven to have therapeutic value. These are then produced under clinical laboratory conditions ensuring that only the best possible ingredients reach your skin.

Biochemistry

Key to the research of skin nutrients, or nutraceuticals, is the discipline of biochemistry. From antioxidants to humectants, amino acids to vitamins, good skincare balances the skin which like all the body's systems functions best when at homeostasis. Biochemists understand the building blocks of the natural chemicals present in both our bodies and all living organisms, how they interact and affect one another. Not only are they able to identify the breakdown of individual ingredients but they are able to apply scientific rigour to the chemical reactions between our skin and the products we use on them. With cutting edge research available to them, Solvaderm's biochemists develop and synthesize products to create skincare that blurs the lines between science and nature.

Dermatology

However, simply knowing how individual ingredients react with one another or even with the skin is not enough to develop the safest and most effective products. Dermatologists work to identify the causes behind skin conditions and the best treatment protocols. Their expertise in skin pathology means an understanding of how skin performs under stress both from the environment and within the body's own systems. Sensative skin can be primary or can often be secondary symptoms of other medical conditions. Identifying where topical skin care can and can't make a difference to these symptoms is an important aspect of the dermatologist's advisory role in the development of skincare products.

Solvaderm's Formula for Skin Health

When it comes to applying Solvaderm's Juvabrite for skin health, the old saying of quality over quantity does not apply. Quality is of course paramount but quantity is also vital. Not in terms of abundance, but in identifying the correct balance and concentration of ingredients to achieve optimal results. As with the RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) of nutrients we take into our body, in some cases only tiny amounts are needed and in some cases too much would be harmful. Research and testing by Solvaderm means they have perfected the formula of taking natural ingredients and refining them to create products that contain extracts at the right concentration or quantity to treat specific skin conditions. For optimal skin health, Solvaderm provides 100% of your RDA.
