Retinoids To The Rescue

Retinoids to the rescue!

Once in a while, I wake up to a gratifying reminder: thousands of dead skin cells that would otherwise be clogging my pores, giving me acne, and dulling my skin are ready to leap off my face and down the drain.

Why?

Just a bit of good ol’ Vitamin A.

Diligent, nightly use of a topical retinoid, a derivative of vitamin A, as part of your skincare routine encourages this cell turnover and collagen production. (I don’t put collagen in my coffee; I teach my cells to make more of it.)

This means brighter (dare I say dewy?) skin and fewer fine lines, age/sun spots, and acne bumps.

It’s such low hanging fruit, and the best time to start is now.
