“Sharp spring sunlight calls for skincare rich in antioxidants and concentrated rehydration. But look out, it’s not just the formula that’s important, it is the delivery system to ensure actives and replenishing Hyaluronic Acid don’t just sit on the skin’s surface.”
Dr. Asculai, Visible Youth’s Chief Scientist.
Spring is a season of change and renewal, the time to review every aspect of care for your skin – what you eat, your complexion protection and the science behind your skincare formula.
Spring GreensSkincare is not just what you put on your complexion, but also what you include in your diet. The new season is bursting with beneficial vegetables. Quench your complexion with asparagus, a renowned hydrating food, it contains more than 90 percent water. Asparagus also contains phytochemicals that are rich in antioxidants to fend off signs of ageing. Vitamin C is one of the most effective natural antioxidants needed as a defence for the brighter sunlight, and you may be surprised to learn that leafy green watercress contains more vitamin C than an orange. Spring artichokes are packed with antioxidants and also peptides. |
Pep up your skinPeptides are a vital active in skincare, they lock in hydration and promote collagen production, a process which diminishes with age. Collagen is intrinsic to maintaining skin structure. Maca Root and Lupin Seed are clinically proven natural peptides, these powerful actives were selected for the Visible Youth™ Multi-Peptide Super Serum to increase your skin’s firmness and elasticity. Visible Youth™ Multi-Action Eye Serum also contains Lupin Seed and oligopeptides. By stimulating lymph drainage this hardworking serum reduces under-eye puffiness. It is a lightweight, easily absorbed multi-tasker. |
Flower PowerSpring brings carpets of dandelions, filling gardens with their vibrant yellow optimism. Dandelions are another powerful plant, the extract Taraxacum Officinale has anti-inflammatory properties and antioxidants which limit the response of ‘pollution receptors’ in our skin. For city dwellers living with high levels of pollution, tackling environmental aggressors is a daily consideration. Dandelion extract is also a key active in Visible Youth™ Moisture Shield, it actively refines the skin grain which promotes a more radiant appearance. |

Spring WaterIn this sunny season our skin requires a light, water-based moisturiser. Visible Youth™ Moisture Shield is exactly that, a lightweight multi-tasker and our water based Visible Youth™ Multi-Peptide Super Serum, works in synergy drawing the moisturiser into the skin. The herbaceous scent of the Visible Youth ™ formula is so spring fresh the moment you apply it to your complexion, you can feel the revitalising effect. The hydrating power is in the pure, medical grade Hyaluronic Acid, each molecule carries an astonishing 1000 times its own weight in water. |
Water beneath the surfaceJust as we direct water to where our spring plants need it, beneath the surface of the soil, we need our skincare formulas to reach deep into the dermis. During 30 years of research into medical skin regeneration, the scientists at our Skin Technology Lab made the ‘Golden Calculation’ and identified the exact weight of HA required to penetrate the skin’s surface and reach the point where wrinkles are formed. Not only that, within each HA molecule they have captured a unique formula of natural actives and regenerating biomaterial. This is called Hyoglass™, possibly the most powerful molecule in skincare this season. |
