Original Sleek Vitamin C Cream

· Leave a Comment

Vitamin C and Retinol are the skincare holy grail because they benefit adult skin of any age. But sensitive skin types often cannot tolerate daily topical Vitamin C application. So we are excited to find Original Sleek Vitamin C Cream which is non-comedogenic, cruelty-free and contains natural moisturizing ingredients to support Vitamin C use, even on sensitive skin types. 

Original Sleek Vitamin C Cream contains powerful Vitamin C & natural ingredients for clear skin

What are the Skincare Benefits of Vitamin C?

What are the skincare benefits of Vitamin C?

Vitamin C is applied topically for targeted skin-rejuvenation. It is an anti-aging, acne reducing, and is a age spot, scar, and dark pigmentation fading powerhouse.

Vitamin C is an Anti-Aging

Vitamin C is a building block for collagen synthesis. Collagen is the support structure of the skin. Vitamin C reduces wrinkles and discoloration.

Vitamin C Counteracts Sun Damage

Sun damage is highly aging to the skin. It can cause a leathery skin texture even on younger skin.

Vitamin C also improves sun-damage such as hyper-pigmentation and rough skin texture.

Vitamin C Helps Acne

Vitamin C reduces inflammation on existing acne to reduce the lifestyle of a blemish. It also prevents future acne breakouts. And it fades old acne scars, even dark cystic marks.

Why Original Sleek is Special

Not every Vitamin C product works on sensitive skin. Original Sleek Vitamin C uses a water-soluble vitamin C derivative which is much gentler to skin but just as effective. Unlike direct Vitamin C forms, it converts into Vitamin C upon application. This means less skin irritation.

We like the Original Sleek Vitamin C formulation because:

  • it is non-comedogenic
  • it is cruelty-free
  • no unwanted additives such as gluten, parabens, phthalates, SLS, SLES, and petroleum.
  • it contains buffering ingredients to support regular Vitamin C use without irritation
  • it has opaque packaging to keep ingredients fresh
  • it contains ingredients which work together for fresher, brighter skin
Original Sleek Vitamin C comes in opaque packaging with one pump dispenser

In addition to Vitamin C, Original Sleek Vitamin C Cream contains helpful supporting ingredients. Let’s take a look:

Key Ingredients

Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate

Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate is a Vitamin C for sensitive skin, it is a water-soluble Vitamin C derivative. It is particularly beneficial to revive dull skin. Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate is less exfoliating than other Cs but still produces collagen and suppresses melanin formation.[1] 

Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract

Licorice root contains glabridin, a potent antioxidant that soothes skin. It gently lightens dark circles and improves uneven tone. It is safe for even sensitive skin. [2]

Chamomile

Matricaria Recutita Flower Extract

Matricaria Recutita Flower Extract is chamomile. Chamomile is an antioxidant with potent skin-soothing action. [3] It contains Terpenoids, bisabolol and chamazulene. Chamomile Extract is excellent in a formulation with powerful actives because its’ flavones inhibit skin inflammation. [4] The apigenin in Chamomile protects the skin barrier [5]. Chamomile Extract kills acne-causing bacteria without irritation. [6]

Salicylic Acid

Salicylic Acid is a natural bHA. Salicylic Acid purges clogged pores without excess drying the skin surface.

The lovely Flowering Tea Tree

The lovely flowering Tea Tree, Melaleuca alternifolia

Melaleuca Alternifolia

Melaleuca Alternifolia is better known as tea tree oil. Melaleuca oil contains terpinen-4-ol, which is an amazing antibacterial and antifungal.[7,8]

It is also a moisturizing toner, cleanser and astringent. It effectively treats acne and prevents future breakouts [9]. It is not drying like other acne-treating ingredients, so it is effective on sensitive skin and adult acne. It even treats cystic acne.[10]

Tocopheryl Acetate

Tocopheryl Acetate is Vitamin E, an excellent skin softener.

Aloe Vera

                        Aloe Vera

Aloe Leaf Juice

Aloe Vera Juice comes from the Aloe Vera plant. Aloe Vera nourishes skin with Vitamins A, C, Bs, and E as well as minerals and enzymes. It heals, hydrates, and accelerates skin cell growth. It provides anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties.

Sodium Hyaluronate

Sodium Hyaluronate is a form of Hyaluronic Acid. It is a humectant that offers stronger moisture retention properties than regular HA. It is found naturally and ample supply in young skin, but depletes with age.

Sodium Hyaluronate has a lower molecular size than other Hyaluronic Acids. It absorbs deeper into the skin and brings other actives along with it.

Cucumber

Cucumis Sativus Oil

Cucumis Sativus Oil is cucumber oil contains Omega-9 and Omega-6 to treat dry, irritated or sunburned skin. Cucumber oil is soothing and reduces swelling. Cucumber contains skin-friendly vitamin A, C and K, magnesium, potassium, and manganese.

Cetearyl Alcohol

Cetearyl Alcohol is fatty alcohol or good alcohol because it holds water, non-drying.

Glycerin

Glycerin attracts and retains moisture and oxygen in the skin.

The Experience

We like the one-pump dispenser design to keep the product fresh.

  • Scent: Slight orange creamsicle, not overpowering, I can’t smell it once applied.
  • Color: pale butter yellow with light orange swirl
  • Consistency: It is a lightweight texture
  • Dry-down: non-oily, absorbs well. Slight tacky finish until it dries. No chalky residue. Light oil finish, not greasy.
Original Sleek Vitamin C Cream is a buttery yellow hue with a creamy texture

Original Sleek Vitamin C Cream is a buttery yellow hue with a creamy texture

With regular use, my skin is well-hydrated and not dry, flaking or irritated as can happen with some Vitamin C creams or serums. There is no weird white residue left on my skin. There is no itchy tight feeling.

Get your glow on with Ready to Glow

Ready to Glow gives a soft, supple look and feel to skin

The Experience

One pump is enough for face and throat. Nicely emollient on my chapped lips. There is a very light, pleasant scent of fresh plums, perhaps a hint of apricot.

It absorbs and leaves a finish more like a cream than an oil, I am not greasy at all.  Sunscreen and makeup can be applied immediately without piling or running. Mixing a few drops of Ready to Glow with my foundation gives a soft, luminous look.

While intended for face AND body, there is such good ingredients, we use it primarily on face, throat and décolletage. It also works well on hands and dry cuticles. It absorbs exceptionally well. It is drier than hemi-squalene oil, so if you chose to use it on body and legs, you would not have to wait to dry down before getting dressed.

My skin looks supple after use, not “wet”.

TIP: Try it with your Gua Sha tools, it gives the perfect slip!

Save Your Skin with Elegear Cervical Pillow

· Leave a Comment

Do you sleep on your stomach or side? We do too. It is a terrible beauty habit. Side sleeping crushes skin against the pillow for eight hours a night, enforcing wrinkles and sagging on one side. In an effort to learn to sleep on my back, which protects skin AND the spine, we’ve tried lots of pillows and sleep gear. One thing that works is Elegear Cervical Pillow. Learn more about how Elegear Cervical Pillow can save your skin, improve posture and help better sleep.

Factors of Skin and Sleep Positions

Poor Sleep Position Puts Pressure on the Skin

Pillows may feel fluffy, but the human head is heavy.

So side sleeping presses delicate eye skin and facial skin against a hard surface that squishes it for eight hours of wrinkle making.

And your face is being pressed directly into last night’s facial oils and skin debris on your pillowcase, a recipe for acne.

Skin Restoration Requires Quality Sleep

For nightly treatment products to address skin issues, we must get restorative sleep. Collagen production and cell regeneration take place as we sleep. [1] Good pillows are conducive to sleeping well.

Side or stomach sleeping impair the ability of skin topicals to absorb into the skin. Those pricey skincare products end up smeared on your pillowcase instead of helping your skin. Sleeping on the back keeps precious topicals where you put them and allows them to work.

Elegear Cervical Pillow conforms to the head while supporting the shoulders and neck. This creates a comfortable position to sleep on your back.

What Is The Best Sleep Position?

  • Dermatologists recommend that the head is elevated while sleeping. This allows for excess fluid to drain and you won’t wake up puffy.
  • Orthopedists recommend proper head and neck support to avoid neck and back issues.

The pillow has multiple features to optimize better beauty sleep

WHY This Pillow Works

The pillow is made of 55D high-density memory foam. It is adjustable with a removable booster under the weight of your head or body to provide stable, cradling support.

The problem with memory foam pillows is it often feels too soft. To fix this problem, this pillow has:

  • 60D Memory Foam Support Bar to Increase The Hardness
  • 1CM Removable Foam Pad to Increase The Height. There are four height options.

Neck Posture Support Pillow

  • Distributes weight evenly. This is important for those with shoulder or neck strain, lower back pain, muscle tension, headaches, and stress.
  • A unique butterfly design with four contoured areas designed to support the head, shoulders and neck
  • For Side sleepers it keeps their ears in line with their shoulders to support spine comfort and there is an arm rest area.
  • Helps with cervical spondylosis or waking up with a sore neck

Skin-Friendly Pillow

  • The outer material is made of soft, breathable TR blended fabric
  • CertiPUR-US certified
  • Oeko-Tex certified
  • hypo-allergenic

10 Tips How to Best Use Philip Kingsley Elasticizer

·

Philip Kingsley Elasticizer is considered by many to be a holy grail hair rescue product. But for some, Elasticizer is just meh. How can some people swear by it and others be disappointed?

Proper application is key to getting the most out of Elasticizer or Elasticizer Extreme. Not sure how to use Philip Kingsley Elasticizer? Read our top ten tips for best use below.

How to Use Philip Kingsley Elasticizer

How to Use Philip Kingsley Elasticizer: 10 Tips for Best Use

 

Why Elasticizer is Special

A key ingredient overview helps deconstruct the elusive je ne sais quoi of Elasticizer. Let’s take a look:

Key Ingredients

 

Olive Oil nourishes hair

OLIVE OIL

Olive Oil moisturizes with Omega-3s and polyphenols. Omegas nourish the hair follicle and make the cuticle smooth and the shaft strong. Olive Oil makes hair smooth and shiny.

Kingsley found Olive Oil works best not as a direct oil application, but within a creamy formula base.  It aids in the penetration of the precious vitamins and fatty acids. A creamy formula also makes it easier to wash out without oily residue after use.

 

HYDROLYZED ELASTIN

Elastin gives hair tensile strength: the ability to stretch. Hydrolyzed Elastin adds body and elasticity to hair. It improves hair’s resistance to breakage and aids moisture retention.

Unlike protein treatments, you cannot over-do elastin. Elastin returns a youthful look to the hair. Elastin is often a missing element in hair maintenance routines, but it is important to keep hair looking vibrant, lush, bouncy and healthy.

No matter what your hair has experienced (coloring, chemicals, hot tools), it likely has lost some Elastin along the way.

Castor seed oil is a humectant

 

CASTOR OIL

Castor Oil is a humectant. It draws moisture into the hair shaft making it plumper and hydrated. It softens hair with high Vitamin E content. Castor Oil thickens thinning hair and calms the appearance of frizzy hair.

Castor Oil is typically too thick and sticky to apply directly to the hair, but in this formulation, it washes out easily.

GLYCERIN

Glycerin helps hair to retain moisture. This is particularly important for thirsty coarse and curly hair.

 

Ten Tips on How to Best Use Philip Kingsley Elasticizer

 

1. Apply Elasticizer to Fully Damp Hair

Apply Elasticizer to fully damp hair prior to shampooing. Warm the elasticizer slightly in your hands. Smooth the Elasticizer into the length of the hair to help it absorb.

 

2.  Elasticizer Must Fully Absorb

Absorption is the key. It won’t accomplish nearly as much just sitting on the hair surface.

How to do it: I apply Elasticizer to a small section of hair at a time. Then place the hair section between two fingers and gently “squeegee” the product down the hair length to assist absorption.

For sections that don’t absorb after 30 minutes, I re-wet the hair with a spray bottle and repeat the squeegee process.

 

3. Avoid the Scalp

There is no harm in applying Elasticizer closer to the scalp, but it is most beneficial applied to lengths down to the ends. I focus extra on areas I heat style with my curling wand – bangs, money pieces, and ends.

Some suggest applying from the ear down to the ends.

4. Keep Elasticizer moist

As long as it stays damp, it continues to work. I like to use a processing cap or hair towel to let it stay moist. Your facial steamer can add a special oomph to Elasticizer. If Elasticizer is getting dry and hard, spritz it down.

 

5. 10-Minute Minimum Use

It takes about five minutes to absorb into the hair.  Leave Elasticizer in for a minimum of ten minutes, or even overnight in a covered cap or towel. In the Kingsley Clinics in New York and London, they leave Elasticizer in for 30 minutes.

Don’t have time for a full treatment? Try this tip:

 

“I like to treat any split or brittle hair with perhaps a teaspoonful, gently worked into my hair and then left overnight. Very economical and a quick and easy boost when I don’t have time for the full works.”

– JENNIFER DYE
PHILIP KINGSLEY HEAD TRICHOTHERAPIST

 

6.  Add heat

Heat intensifies the penetration. Wear Elasticizer while exercising, at the beach or sunbathing, or while taking a steam.

 

7. Don’t Use Elasticizer before or after Hair Coloring

The packaging says Elasticizer can remove hair color or impede coloring. Don’t use Elasticizer for 3 days before and after coloring. I ignored these directions and found out it is true. The Olive Oil can remove fresh color.

 

8. Use the Formulation for Your Hair Type

Use the proper Elasticizer formulation for your hair type.

  • PK Elasticizer Extreme is for coarse, naturally coiled, or very damaged hair.
  • Fine and Medium texture hair should use Elasticizer Intensive.

 

9.  Add-Ins

Elasticizer is an excellent creamy base for your favorite hair oil. Sometimes I add a few drops of warm Jojoba or Avocado oil

 

10. Stick With It

We find the benefits are cumulative. Courtney initially didn’t see much difference, but after second use, she was wowed by the results. Lyn’s coarse and colored hair responded well to Elasticizer Intense, but benefits far more from Philip Kingsley’s Elasticizer Extreme.

 

TIP: gently squeegee Elasticizer into the hair to aid absorption.
