Bright, Firm, and Protected: The Role of Vitamin C in Skincare

Vitamin C should be a vital component to your daily skincare regime. It is a powerful antioxidant that assists the cells in fighting off free radicals that damage our skins natural Elastin fibres and Collagen proteins. Damage to these components of the skin result in premature aging and the formation of fine lines and wrinkles on the skin. Vitamin C plays a pivotal role in the production of not only Collagen, but maintains the skins elasticity, firmness and structure.

By stimulating collagen synthesis within the skin, we can promote a more plump, youthful appearance on the skin. In addition to assisting the skin in slowing down the loss of this protein in the skin, Vitamin C also allows for overall improvement in the skins texture.

Vitamin C can improve darkened areas on the skin, also known as hyperpigmentation, including melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and age spots, by brightening the skin, and evening out the skin tone, as well as act as a protection to the skins cells by shielding the skin from the harmful effects of UV damage. This is achieved by Vitamin C inhibiting melanin synthesis by slowing down the activity of an enzyme known as tyrosinase.

Although Vitamin C is not in any way a substitute for sun protection, Vitamin C, paired with the correct sun protection, is the ultimate protection against the effects of UVA and UVB damage on in the skin.

Incorporating products such as the SkincareRx C-Fix Crystals, which will amp up any serum by delivering Vitamin C into the skin in its most concentrated form, to rejuvenate the skin while fighting the effects of aging and pigmentation, or TheraVine’s Anti-Wrinkle Skin Booster which not only smoothes out the appearance of deep lines and wrinkles, but also enhances collagen synthesis and inhibits melanin synthesis.

Cracked Heel Solution – Medi Heel

Discover how to have smooth heels – The Truth be told. We have your cracked heel solution!

Ever had a pair of shoes that irritated you endlessly? Every noticed how the skin hardens around the irritated area on your little toe?

 

The callused skin is caused by friction to the skin. Let’s simplify.  When you cause friction to the skin with a band on a shoe or a tight fitting shoe, the brain will receive a message of injury. The body has a defense mechanism to protect itself and will instantly start forming more layers of skin to protect this area of the skin.

Ever noticed how cyclist have callused palms? Yes, this is exactly what happens. The bicycle handle causes friction on the hand and the body experience injury. It immediately reacts and forms a nice thing layer of skin to protect itself against further injury.

When we look at our feet, it is no different and when we file our feet excessively we are doing exactly the same thing. Our body will react in the same manner and protect through forming a thick callus.

This might be the reason why your heels are getting worse every time you file or blade the foot.

At Elim we believe in working with your body instead of against the body.

We reveal wisdom and truth about the functionality of the human body, its reaction to ingredients and the science behind our instinctive intelligence.

It is also recommendable to use a good quality heel balm with active ingredients. We recommend the Elim Foot Perfector that nourish and protects but also ensures a non-slip in the shoe after application.

You might want to use the callus remover more than once for extreme heels, but don’t despair, your Callus kit contains enough for at least 10 treatments.
