Transitional skin care for spring
While you're in the midst of adjusting to a warmer season that brings warmth and moisture, it's natural to wonder how your daily skin care routine should also change. An ultra-rich moisturizer may leave you feeling particularly oily, or you may be ready to turn up the strength of your cleanser from milky to an invigorating gel consistency. "Most people need to make small adjustments as the seasons change," says Stephanie Butler, Epionce Pro and Advanced Esthetician in Nevada.
The Power of Intense Defense Serum
What makes a good quality serum? An Epionce fan favorite and NewBeauty award winner for "Best Botanical Serum", our Intense Defense Serum is considered a complete multivitamin serum for your skin. Using botanical sources of vitamins A, B, C, D and E for healthier skin, it is clinically proven to visibly improve the signs of skin aging better than leading professional strength serums. As Butler notes, "a good quality serum will have quality ingredients."
Designed for all skin types and with just one or two applications per day, what makes Intense Defense Serum so special is its cosmetically elegant, non-irritating botanical formula. “I know that when I send my clients home with Intense Defense Serum, they're not going to react or be irritated by it,” says Butler.
How do we know the Epionce approach is working? Our tried and true clinical results! Many of the Epionce products have been tested in clinical trials against leading products in head-to-head studies with the final formulations – showing a significant measurable benefit to the skin.
In a study comparing Intense Defense Serum to the leading growth factor serum in the premium, medical skincare industry, it was clinically proven to reduce the signs of skin aging better than leading and well-known professional strength serums. This study was conducted by independent dermatologists and researchers looking specifically for improvements in signs of aging. The result? The Intense Defense Serum achieved much better results than the growth factor serum at weeks one, four and eight for most antiaging parameters.
Main Botanical Ingredients:
As a barrier-first company, we are very selective with our ingredients. Our gentle and effective formulas are paraben-free, fragrance-free, sulfate-free and gluten-free. To improve the overall health and appearance of the skin, Epionce uses restorative botanicals that contain powerful multifactorial antioxidants along with barrier-strengthening cholesterol, ceramides and free fatty acids in proven concentrations. And there's a reason our Intense Defense Serum is known as "the complete multivitamin for your skin."
Some of our favorite botanicals found in Intense Defense Serum are:
Linseed oil: An important source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are found naturally in the skin and the key to a healthy complexion. It also helps calm irritation when used in the right conditions on the skin.
Samphire: A flowering plant found along coastal areas, also known as sea fennel, this provides the functionality of retinoids but without the harsh side effects. It also provides antioxidant properties.
Spanish Needle Extract: Used in traditional Chinese herbal medicine, it provides the functionality of retinoids but without the harsh side effects. It is also a good source of flavonoids.
African oil: Native to Africa, it provides skin conditioning properties as well as vitamins A and C.
Raspberry seed oil: Full of antioxidants such as vitamin E.
Shiitake mushroom extract: Contains essential amino acids and linoleic acid, a fatty acid that helps keep the skin healthy. A potent phytonutrient, they provide antioxidant benefits, along with vitamins A, B, C and D.
"Incorporating all of these vitamins [into your skin care routine] benefits your skin by protecting it from environmental stressors, and also slows the aging process," notes Butler. As a skin care professional, she is well aware of the many benefits our botanical serum can provide. "Vitamin A smoothes fine lines and wrinkles and fights pigmentation. Vitamin B brightens and hydrates. Vitamin C evens out skin tone. Vitamin D fights free radicals and helps with skin rejuvenation while Vitamin E is moisturizing."
While there's no one-size-fits-all approach to skincare, including a daily serum packed with effective yet gentle botanicals can be an essential tool in anyone's spring skincare routine.
