"Vitamin C and why you should be using it!" - by Jody Leon
If you aren’t using vitamin C in your daily routine, you need to!
Vitamin C is a marvelous ingredient that can be used to treat and prevent a so many skincare concerns. It is the #1 main ingredient in our famous Iderm Facial Treatment.
It’s truly a powerhouse ingredient but it’s important to understand how vitamin C can benefit your skin before spending tons of money on useless products and slapping it on your face.
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant also known as l-ascorbic acid when in its raw form. It brightens the skin and reduces environmentally induced damage to our delicate skin cells.
Vitamin C antioxidants helps with free radical damage. Free radicals are unstable molecules caused by various environmental factors like sun exposure, smoke and pollution. These little bastards chip away at our collagen which then visibly show the signs of aging like fine lines, deeper wrinkles and dryness.
You have to protect your skins barrier from free radicals so it’s important to ALWAYS use a broad spectrum sunscreen like our DAILY REPLENISHING SPF 30+. Also using antioxidants that have vitamin C is going to protect you even more like our TRIPLE C&E COMPLEX or our VITA-C 20 BRIGHTENING CREAM which is a 20% super strong l-asorbic acid.
In addition to protecting skin from damage and preventing signs of aging from forming, vitamin C can help even out skin tone and texture, as well as treat hyperpigmentation, resulting in a brighter complexion.

Winter Cherry: The Anti-Aging Ingredient You Should Know About
When most of us think about skin damage, UV light is the first thing that comes to mind. In recent years, however, science has found another major culprit: screen-emitted high energy visible light (HEV), or blue light. Ordinary UV-blocking sunscreen ingredients do nothing to protect against HEV. Fortunately, there’s one ingredient that’s perfect for the job.
What is Winter Cherry?
Winter Cherry (Withania Somnifera) is an herbal extract that helps to defend skin from the effects of digital pollution and screen-emitted visible light. Although this a new and revolutionary use in modern skincare, the ingredient itself is quite old — over 4,000 years old, in fact.
Known as Ashwagandha, this potent botanical has been highly prized in Ayurvedic and indigenous medicine for centuries due to its broad variety of health benefits. The roots, leaves, and berries contain numerous bioactive compounds shown to promote healthy functioning and boost physical resilience to stress throughout the body.
Benefits in skincare
Winter Cherry extract is relatively unique in that it is naturally HEV-protective. With the average American owning 4 digital devices, this is a big benefit; studies suggest that concentrated blue light exposure can cause deep cellular damage that results in premature signs of aging like hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, sagging, and uneven skin.
Applied topically in skincare formulas like our Hyaluronic Firming Boost and Ultra Replenishing Sunscreen*, Winter Cherry helps to combat this damage with an exceptional combination of antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, adaptogenic, and rejuvenating properties.
A new era of photo-protection
Products that offer blue light protection are rare. Awareness of this hidden cause of photo-damage is growing, however, as skincare science continues to evolve — and that is crucial. In today’s technology-oriented world, our skin is more exposed than ever before. It’s time for ingredients like Winter Cherry to take us a powerful step forward into the future of anti-aging.

"What’s With The Hype Around Silk Pillowcases?" - by Cora Speidel
What’s with the hype around silk pillowcases?
Are silk pillowcases considered a magical cure for your skin woes?
I would not call them a magical cure but they are a better option when it comes to maintaining healthy skin on your face. Silk is a breathable, cool, smooth fabric that can help your skin while you sleep. Unlike other fabrics, silk is less likely to trap harmful dust or harbor fungi, yeast, and bacteria. Silk doesn’t create friction as you move throughout the night and helps prevent abrasion of your skin and hair. It also helps your skin retain moisture, which can aid in wrinkle prevention.
Silk or no silk, It is very important to wash AND change your pillowcase often. Experts recommend at least once a week. If you have really sensitive skin or are experiencing a break out, it may be beneficial to have several back up pillow cases so you can switch it out more frequently.
Keep in mind that every product you apply to your hair will likely end up on your pillow, which can absorb into your skin. That's why it’s important to check ingredients in your hair products, in addition to your skin products, to help prevent breakouts.
Lastly and most importantly, never forget the crucial step of cleansing your face before going to bed! This is your skin’s first line of defense before you lay down for the night.

Hyaluronic Acid......you are what you eat!!
Content written by:Carina Wolff for DermStore
It’s no secret that what you eat can affect your skin. You might already try to eat foods high in antioxidants like vitamin A and vitamin E to help improve your complexion.
However, there’s another nutrient you might not be as familiar with that can do wonders for your skin.
Hyaluronic acid is a compound that occurs naturally in your body, and it is responsible for attracting and retaining moisture. It is thought to improve cell-to-cell interaction and promote collagen synthesis, which can prevent wrinkles and improve your skin’s texture.
Your body does make its own hyaluronic acid, but as you age, your production of it diminishes. Some people choose to inject hyaluronic acid as a dermal filler, which can help add volume to the skin.
Others apply it topically, which won’t produce as dramatic or lasting results—as it can’t reach the deepest layers of the skin—but can still smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
If you want to increase your levels of hyaluronic acid in other ways, you can look to your diet.
There are a number of foods that contain the compound that can help your skin stay supple and smooth.
Foods like leafy greens contain magnesium, which is a necessary catalyst to help with HA production in the body. Other foods that are high in magnesium include avocado, nuts, fruits and seeds. Salads loaded with all these ingredients are a great way to boost magnesium content while getting your fair share of other nutrients along with it as well.
