10 Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic Acid is a hot topic in skincare right now – but how does hyaluronic acid actually benefit the skin?

 

Hyaluronic Acid is one of the newer wonder ingredients taking the skincare industry by storm. Upon hearing ‘acid’, it comes to no surprise that alarm bells may start ringing to some as ‘acids’ just springs ‘harmful chemical!’ to mind, and that’s something you’d rather not have near your delicate skin. We get that – but not to worry, the star ingredient ‘Hyaluronic Acid’ is quite the opposite. Known as the ‘magnet for moisture’ for its ability to hold up to 1000 times its weight in water (impressive, huh?), hyaluronic acid is naturally occurring in our bodies and aids our skin by replenishing moisture and enhancing the health and appearance of your skin.

 

So, here are 10 ways Hyaluronic Acid benefits the skin (and why Kathleen has chosen to use active ingredients in their best sellers – Caviar Enrich Eye Cream, Amazing White Illuminating Serum and Glamour Ageless Anti-Aging Serum):

1. Hydration – Hyaluronic Acid is able to hold up to 1000 times its molecular weight in water and so, it penetrates the skin and binds skin cells to water, infusing all layers of the skin with valuable, rejuvenating moisture.

2. Humectant – After infusing the epidermis with valuable moisture, Hyaluronic Acid continues to draw moisture in from the surrounding environment to provide lasting hydration benefits.

3. Lipid barrier enhancement – Hyaluronic Acid fortifies the skin’s natural barriers to lock moisture in for an even more dramatic hydrating effect.

4. Increased resilience – By enhancing the skin’s natural barriers, the skin is better able to defend itself against environmental age-factors and pollutants.

5. Tighter skin tone – As it fills the skin with moisture, Hyaluronic acid tightens the overall complexion and firms facial contours for a more youthful appearance.

6. Smoother texture – Much in the same way it tightens the skin, it also smoothes the texture of the skin for a silky smooth finish you can see and feel.

7. Less visible fine lines and wrinkles – Hyaluronic acid reduces the size and visibility of fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating skin cell production of collagen and elastin, two fibers that contribute to skin elasticity.

8. Stimulates skin cell regeneration – In addition to stimulating skin cell production of collagen, hyaluronic acid promotes skin cell regeneration for healthier cells and a more vibrant complexion.

9. Pigmentation – A description of hyaluronic acid wouldn’t be complete without mentioning ability to reduce and prevent age spots and pigmentation issues.

10. Clarity – By promoting proper moisture balance in the skin, hyaluronic acid prevents the over-production of oil that clogs pores to cause breakouts.

Enjoy Hyaluronic Acid in all its moisturising, anti-aging glory and try Kathleen’s Caviar Enrich Eye Cream, Amazing White Illuminating Serum or Glamour Ageless Anti-Aging Serum.

Tamanu Seed Oil – A Healing Hero

Renowned for its skin healing abilities, it comes to no surprise that the exotic and precious oil is known as a “healing hero”.

 

Rich and deep green coloured, Tamanu Oil is extracted by cold pressing and filtrating the Tamanu Nut, grown on a Tamanu Tree. Natives believed the Tamanu Tree was a sacred gift of nature and often used the oil for skincare, haircare and to aid their wellbeing.

“Did you know? It takes 100 kilograms of Tamanu Seed Oil
to produce less than 5 kilograms of cold pressed oil!”

 

Filled with antioxidants and fatty acids, Tamanu Oil is known to be a natural skin solution – there are many benefits of using the super ingredient for skincare.

Here are just a few benefits of Tamanu Seed Oil for our skin:

 

  • Anti-Aging

Tamanu Seed Oil helps to stimulate the growth of new tissues and therefore accelerate the healing and growth of healthy skin. The fatty acids found in the oil help to promote collagen and thus works to reduce the appearance of fine-lines and wrinkles, whilst improving the skin’s elasticity.

  • Treats Acne

Tamanu Seed Oil includes anti-bacterial phytochemicals which actions against and destroys the bacteria build-up in the pores which causes acne breakouts and blemishes. The phytochemicals stimulate ‘phagocytic cells’ to take antibiotic action against the bacteria which manifests as acne.

  • Treats Dry Skin

Tamanu Seed Oil quickly absorbs and penetrates into deep layers of the skin ensuring the facial skin is deeply nourished, hydrated and moisturised, as opposed to merely coating the top layer of the facial skin. The fatty acids found in Tamanu Seed Oil helps to restore dry skin without leaving a greasy residue on the skin’s surface.

  • Natural Sunscreen Protection

The anti-oxidant property of Tamanu Seed Oil means the healing hero can be used as natural sunscreen to protect the skin against harsh UV rays of the sun. The xanthones and coumarin components of Tamanu Oil hinder ‘lip peroxidation’ which means it’s suitable for soothing and treating sunburns.

These reasons are why the natives said the Tamanu nut is the sacred gift of nature.  The Tamanu seed oil is a natural skin solution, the healing hero that will leave your skin looking and feeling silky, soft and smooth.

 

Kathleen Natural has infused this healing hero inside our Refreshing & Lightening Cleansing Lotion that is both pure and organic and suitable for even the very sensitive skins. Our Cleansing Lotion helps to lift dirt, oil, makeup and impurities without drying or sensitizing the skin. Supplied with Kathleen pure cotton gauze muslin face cloth for an even gentler exfoliation, to reveal smoother, clearer and lighter-looking skin. Shop here

Get Instant Glow Without Makeup – Official Launch of Cleanser and Toner

Kathleen UK Get Instant Glow without makeup
Kathleen Natural Skin Care Get Instant Glow without makeup

Many of us may be leaving out the step of our skincare routine: cleansing before bed. You’re not alone. In a recent survey, a third of women skips the facial cleanse before going to bed twice weekly.

Why it is important to have a facial cleanse before bed?

The face keeps touching the world, the pollutants, the dirt and bacteria during the day. If we don’t wash it before bed, dirt would clog our pores; bacteria would grow settling into our pores. My poor pores!

What scientists found? The skin has a rare opportunity to breathe and be replenished while you’re asleep. Professor Weaver from University of Massachusetts Medical School states that our body circadian rhythm makes the use of products before you sleep more effective. Skipping facial cleanse, our skin would be aged over a decade at the end. It could become an irreversible damage!

Why we should have a facial cleanse in the morning?

Dear friends, there are at least three reasons.

  1. Remove the unwanted environmental pollutants, such as from our pillowcase, carpet, fireplace etc.
  2. Remove the accumulated skin-producing face oil and debris.
  3. Prepare the skin to use the facial treatment products.

So all beauty therapists educate their clients to wash face twice every day. If you still feel too dry or rude to have both bedtime and morning face wash every day, I don’t recommend you to skip one of them. The problem may be with the cleanser you’ve been using.

I would choose KATHLEEN® the newest cleansing lotion that gently lifts dirt, oil, makeup and impurities, without drying the skin.

 KATHLEEN® Refreshing & Lightening Cleansing Lotion contains 6 active botanical ingredients including anti-inflammatory and antibiotic organic tamanu seed oil that works together with organic glycerin to gently clean and moisturize the skin.  Fatty acids and vitamin-E-rich avocado oil, used in this cleanser, instantly soften the skin and reduce the incidence of skin spots and the vitamin C rich lemon, floral rose and lavender works in synergy to refresh and lightening your complexion. Suitable to very sensitive skin!

Do you know you need the exfoliation of dead cells for any skin type?

Exfoliation of dead cells produces an immediate and noticeable improvement in the appearance of skin. There are 2 popular types of exfoliation – chemical and physical. Chemical exfoliation is not to be used by people with sensitive skins.  But physical exfoliation that uses cream with beads would also too harsh for sensitive skin. Another biggest disadvantage of this beads exfoliation, regardless of age and skin type, is the beads are not biodegradable that affect the environment.

You will want to carefully choose an exfoliation method that is so gentle to remove the dead cells but not to eliminate and hurt your living cells!

KATHLEEN® 150 ml cleansing lotion also supply with 2 gauze muslin face cloth which is made of the finest cotton fabric that can gently exfoliation, lifting away the makeup and dead skin cells without damaging the living cells, leaving your skin instantly glow.

If you, like me, need a spritz of tonifying mist following the facial wash, to revitalize and soothe the skin, reduce the redness, then KATHLEEN® Rebalancing & Soothing Tonifying Mist will change your life and your skin’s future.

Experience a refreshing spritz of Kathleen’s Tonifying Mist, it quenches skin with abundant moisture to maintain balance and helps to relieve dry skin, soothes surface of irritation. This alcohol-free mist with active aloe vera and glycerin gently revitalizes skin suppleness; Chamomile water and lemon extract work together to heal and soothe skin irritation, leaving skin more tone, less redness and radiant appearance. Perfect for a post-cleanser toner or whenever your skin needs refreshing and soothing.

 

 

 

 

KATHLEEN® officially launches the Cleansing Lotion and the Tonifying Mist on the 1st of May 2017, both available online. These Cleansing Lotion and Tonifying Mist will sure be something you looked forward to at the end of the day and in the morning.
