Skin Around the Clock
How Your Skincare Needs Change Over 24 Hours
Rethinking what you know about skin is an excellent way to start off the new year. As determined by our circadian rhythms, the skin has daytime chores and night time tasks. Indeed, this holds true for every system and organ in the body.
In Tune with Time
Leveraging Your Skin’s Natural Rhythms for Optimal Results
Likewise, to be their best, your skincare products should be time-sensitive as well. Says our own Dr. Ava Shamban, renowned dermatologist and founder of Althaea Skin, “The key here is to cooperate with and leverage the skin’s own natural cycles and abilities to enhance their function.
Althaea Skin formulates day vs. night skincare requirements to address its challenges by the hour.
“Here’s a concept that works for me,” she continues, “Skincare by day should work like a bodyguard, offering protection and fortification. Skincare by night should function as a handyman, doing repairs, taking out the trash and building fortification as well. As it offers both targeted daytime and nighttime formulas, the Althaea Skin collection does exactly that.”
Better by the day with Solar Synq Technology®
Throughout the day, the skin has to fend off pollution, stress, and metabolic free radicals that can accelerate the look of wear and aging. To this end, Dr. Shamban formulated and patented a proprietary complex called Solar Synq Technology® that forms the base of both Althaea Skin Day Serum as well as Awake Eye Gel. The complex includes:
- Circalys®: A triple-action ingredient that helps regulate the skin’s circadian rhythm, revitalizes skin cells, and relaxes skin
- DL® Biomoist: A powerful plant-based Sodium Hyaluronate that moisturizes deep into the skin’s layers for elasticity and glow
- Arganyl™: Derived from Argan Leaf polyphenols, potent antioxidants that helps protect against environmental aggressors like UV exposure while improving the skin’s appearance of firmness
Silky to the touch, Althaea Skin Day Serum is also rich in Hyaluronic Acid and potent Vitamin C, helps restore elasticity and bounce, strengthens the skin barrier and locks in moisture.
Have a good night with Lunar Synq Technology®
Dr. Shamban has also developed and patented a proprietary complex called Lunar Synq Technology® that forms the basis of Althaea Skin’s Night Serum. The formula includes:
- B-Circadin®: An active extract of Lespedeza capitata, a medicinal plant originating in South Korea proven to balance a dysregulated circadian rhythm
- Actifol™: Containing a shiitake mushroom-based extract to visibly firm and tighten skin
- DL® Biomoist: A powerful plant-based Sodium Hyaluronate that moisturizes deep into the skin’s layers
Additional Night Serum ingredients include meadowfoam seed oil to soften skin and support the barrier function, antiaging Neossance™ Squalene to brighten and moisturize, and the SYN®-TC peptide that significantly increases collagen production for a smoother surface with fewer lines and wrinkles.
Dr. Shamban concludes: “In today’s stressful and crazy world – and the fact that we are living significantly longer than ever before – the skin can’t go it alone. For maximum health, beauty, and resilience, Althaea makes a brilliant and logical partner, giving your skin what it needs and when it needs it.”
