A large component of our skin is collagen.

As we age, collagen is not as abundant as when we were younger. As a result, smooth skin becomes progressively thinner, holding less water and losing its youthful presence.

A simple, straightforward way to help slow and correct this process is to encourage our skin to immediately replace diminished collagen. This replacement can be accomplished with a topical application of certain naturally occurring proteins suspended in a deeply penetrating serum.

A Little Goes A Long Way

• Take a small amount on your fingertips and gently massage into freshly cleansed and toned skin.
• Wait a minute or so for the serum to absorb, then spritz with Rosewater Toner. Gently massage your skin to help with deeper penetration.
• When your skin is almost dry, but still a little bit moist, apply your facial moisturizer.

At Luminance Skincare, using safe, high-quality ingredients is very important. We believe every constituent of a skincare product should be either organic or wildcrafted. Ours are. We believe that ingredients considered separately should all be what skin readily considers a nutrient source and non-threatening. Ours are. Formulating an ideal skincare product is a lot more than assembling a list of good ingredients, it’s understanding the secondary and sometimes tertiary interactions and achieving the ideal ratios. We always do.

 Matrix Peptide

Matrix Peptides also known as Tripeptide-29 and sometimes as Collagen Tripeptide, is a peptide used in skincare products for its potential anti-aging and skin-rejuvenating properties. Let's analyze the potential benefits of Tripeptide-29 for human facial skin:

Benefits for Human Facial Skin:

1. Collagen Support: Tripeptide-29 is designed to support collagen production and maintenance. Collagen is a crucial protein that provides skin with firmness, elasticity, and a youthful appearance. By promoting collagen synthesis, Tripeptide-29 can contribute to smoother and more supple skin.
2. Wrinkle Reduction: The increased collagen production encouraged by Tripeptide-29 can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Enhanced collagen levels can lead to improved skin texture and a reduction in the depth of wrinkles. Very effective on wrinkle reduction around the corners of the eyes.
3. Skin Firmness: By stimulating collagen synthesis, Tripeptide-29 may help improve skin's overall firmness and resilience, leading to a more lifted and youthful appearance.
4. Hydration Retention: Some peptides, including Tripeptide-29, can assist in retaining moisture in the skin. Well-hydrated skin appears plumper and more radiant.
5. Anti-Aging Effects: The combination of collagen support, improved skin texture, and enhanced hydration can collectively contribute to an overall anti-aging effect on the skin.

Hexapeptide

Hexapeptide, often referred to as Hexapeptide-1, is a peptide used in skincare products for its potential anti-aging and skin-improving properties. Let's analyze the potential benefits of hexapeptide for human facial skin:

Benefits for Human Facial Skin:

1. Wrinkle Reduction: Hexapeptide is often included in skincare formulations for its potential to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. It is believed to work by inhibiting the muscle contractions that lead to the formation of dynamic wrinkles around corners of the eyes.
2. Relaxing Expression Lines: Hexapeptide is known for its muscle-relaxing properties, which can help relax facial muscles responsible for expression lines, such as forehead lines and crow's feet.
3. Non-Invasive Alternative: Hexapeptide is sometimes promoted as a non-invasive alternative to cosmetic procedures like Botox injections. It provides a more temporary and topical solution for reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
4. Collagen Support: Some studies suggest that hexapeptide may promote the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for maintaining skin's firmness, elasticity, and overall youthfulness.
5. Moisturization and Hydration: Hexapeptide-containing products may offer additional moisturization benefits, helping to keep the skin hydrated and supple.
6. Overall Skin Appearance: By targeting dynamic wrinkles and supporting collagen production, hexapeptide-containing products may contribute to a smoother, more youthful complexion.

Rose water

Rosewater has a naturally low pH which makes it highly effective as a pH normalizer after skin is exposed to highly alkaline taper water. Rose water is a byproduct of the distillation of rose petals and rose hips to extract rose essential oil. It's a popular natural ingredient in skincare for its soothing and aromatic properties. Let's analyze the components and potential benefits of rose water for human facial skin:

Components:

1. Essential Oils: Rose water contains trace amounts of essential oils extracted from rose petals, contributing to its delicate fragrance. 
2. Rose Hip Oil: The residue of this  oil that contributes to rose waters naturally low pH
3. Phytochemicals: Rose water contains various phytochemicals such as flavonoids, tannins, and phenolic compounds. These compounds possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
4. Vitamins and Minerals: Rose water contains small amounts of vitamins like vitamin C and vitamin E, as well as minerals that contribute to overall skin health.

Benefits for Human Facial Skin:

• Toner and Makeup Setting Spray: Rose water can be used as a natural toner to prepare the skin for other skincare products or as a makeup setting spray to give a dewy finish. Ideal pH adjustment for skin exposed to high pH tap water.
• Soothing and Hydrating: Rose water is well-known for its soothing and hydrating properties. It can calm irritated skin, reduce redness, and provide relief from discomfort.
• Balancing: Rose water has mild astringent properties that can help balance the skin's natural pH levels, making it suitable for both oily and dry skin types.
• Anti-Inflammatory: The anti-inflammatory properties of rose water make it effective for soothing conditions like sunburn, eczema, and dermatitis.
• Antioxidant Protection: The presence of antioxidants in rose water helps protect the skin from free radicals, which contribute to premature aging and skin damage.
• Refreshment and Revitalization: Spritzing rose water on the face can provide a quick burst of refreshment, especially during hot or dry weather. It can revitalize the skin and provide a natural glow.
• Aromatherapy Benefits: In addition to skincare benefits, the aroma of rose water can have aromatherapeutic effects, promoting relaxation and reducing stress.

Jojoba oil

Jojoba Oil is a popular natural oil derived from the seeds of the jojoba plant (Simmondsia chinensis). It's well-regarded for its various skincare benefits. Let's analyze the components and potential benefits of jojoba oil for human facial skin:

Components:

1. Fatty Acids: Jojoba oil is rich in fatty acids, primarily consisting of monounsaturated fats (omega-9 fatty acids) and a smaller amount of polyunsaturated fats (omega-6 fatty acids).
2. Vitamins and Minerals: Jojoba oil contains vitamin E, which is a potent antioxidant that supports skin health and protects against oxidative stress.
3. Wax Esters: Jojoba oil is unique in that it predominantly contains highly beneficial wax esters, which are structurally similar to the skin's natural sebum. These wax esters contribute to jojoba oil's moisturizing and skin-balancing properties. 

Benefits for Human Facial Skin:

1. Moisturization: Jojoba oil's wax esters closely resemble the skin's natural sebum, making it an effective natural moisturizer. It helps hydrate the skin without clogging pores or feeling greasy.
2. Skin Barrier Enhancement: The wax esters in jojoba oil help reinforce the skin's barrier function, preventing moisture loss and providing protection against environmental stressors.
3. Acne Management: Contrary to some concerns, jojoba oil is non-comedogenic and can help regulate sebum production. It can be beneficial for individuals with oily or acne-prone skin, as it provides hydration without causing breakouts.
4. Anti-Inflammatory: Jojoba oil's anti-inflammatory properties can help soothe irritated and inflamed skin conditions, such as acne, eczema, and psoriasis.
5. Skin Softening: Regular use of jojoba oil can contribute to softer and smoother skin, improving texture and overall appearance.
6. Anti-Aging: The antioxidant vitamin E in jojoba oil helps protect the skin from oxidative stress, which is a major contributor to premature aging. This can help maintain a youthful complexion.
7. Makeup Removal: Jojoba oil can be used as a gentle and effective makeup remover, helping to dissolve makeup and dirt while nourishing the skin.
