Vancouver Skin Care: The Secret is in the Sleep
The idea of beauty sleep is nothing new, but some of the ingredient innovations over the last few years certainly give credence to the use of night creams for skin rejuvenation.
One of my favorite ingredients which I tout to clients featured in Pro-Derm’s night treatments is Matrixyl 300 TM. This pentapeptide (a chain of amino acids) mimics a fragment of procollagen type 1 (the collagen type distributed in the dermis of the skin), which is proven to stimulate collagen synthesis and improve photoaged skin. Clinical studies have shown positive changes in elastine and collagen concentrations, resulting in a decrease in depth, volume and length of wrinkles. Studies have shown all of these benefits without irritation and dryness normally associated with other wrinkle treatments.
And that’s just one ingredient! Pro-Derm is a Canadian-made pharmaceutical-grade brand which offers a very high concentration of active ingredients in their formulations, balanced with soothing and calming plant botanicals. If you haven’t tried them, I’d suggest coming in for a consultation. The line is simple yet effective and I’ve seen superb results in improving skin health and balance.
So if you’re looking for a way to prevent aging and even repair some damage which has already been done, you may not have to do anything too drastic- just make sure you get adequate rest and give your skin the ingredients to support regeneration over night.
Here’s a great article from the Globe and Mail regarding the benefits of night creams:
