What’s Really Going on with Teenage Skin?  

Let’s face it: skin during the teen years can feel like it has its own agenda. One day it’s oily, the next it’s dry and flaky. And those surprise breakouts that come from nowhere? But here’s the truth: it happens to everybody. During these years, the skin is going through some major changes thanks to hormonal shifts. 

During puberty, the body starts producing more androgens (a type of hormone). This causes oil glands to go into overdrive, leading to that dreaded shine and those annoying pimples. Skin becomes extra sensitive and can react poorly to products they’ve used for years.  

Understanding what’s happening to your teenager’s skin is the first step to getting it under control. Knowing their skin type — whether it’s oily, dry, combination, or sensitive — can help them choose the right products. And remember, everyone’s skin is different, so what works for one teenager may not work for the next. That’s why it’s important to know what ingredients are best to target specific skin concerns. 

Safe Skincare Ingredients for Teens 

When it comes to managing teen skin issues, certain ingredients stand out for their effectiveness and safety. These aren’t just trendy additives; they are scientifically proven to address common concerns like acne, oiliness, and sensitivity. Understanding these key ingredients allows teens to find products that work for their skin type and concerns. Let’s explore the most beneficial ingredients for a teen skincare routine and how they can improve skin health! 

• Salicylic Acid: This is like the skin’s personal janitor. It dives deep into pores, clearing out dirt and oil. Great for fighting acne and keeping skin clear! 
• Benzoyl Peroxide: The acne assassin – it kills acne-causing bacteria and helps reduce inflammation. Start with a lower concentration to avoid irritation. 
• Niacinamide: This multi-tasker helps control oil, reduces redness, and even fades dark spots. Plus, it’s gentle on the skin. 
• Hyaluronic Acid: Think of this as a big drink of water for the skin. It hydrates without making skin feel oily (perfect for all skin types). 
• Vitamin C: This vitamin is akin to the skin’s bodyguard that protects against environmental damage and helps fade acne scars.  
• Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs): These are gentle exfoliators that help remove dead skin cells, making skin smoother and clearer. 
• Tea Tree Oil: With antibacterial properties that can help with breakouts, tea tree oil is a great natural alternative for sensitive skin.  

Remember, not every ingredient works for everyone: it’s all about finding what works best for specific skin concerns. We recommend starting small by introducing one new ingredient at a time to see how the skin reacts. 

Skincare Ingredients to Avoid in a Teenager Skincare Routine 

While many ingredients can be beneficial, some can do more harm than good, especially for young, sensitive skin. Being aware of these potentially problematic ingredients puts you on the path to making smarter choices when selecting skincare for teens: 

• Harsh Alcohols: Ingredients like denatured alcohol or isopropyl alcohol can strip skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation. They might make skin feel less oily at first but can trigger more oil production over time. 
• Retinols: While retinols are popular for their anti-aging benefits, they are too harsh for young, sensitive skin. Retinols can lead to dryness, redness, and peeling, especially for those just starting with skincare. 
• Artificial Fragrances: These can irritate sensitive skin and potentially cause allergic reactions. Look for “fragrance-free” products, especially for sensitive or acne-prone skin. 
• Comedogenic Oils: Some oils, like coconut oil or cocoa butter, can clog pores and worsen acne. Instead, opt for non-comedogenic moisturizers that won’t block pores. 
• Sulfates: Found in many cleansers, sulfates can be too harsh for teen skin, stripping away natural oils and potentially causing irritation. 

As always, pay attention to how the skin reacts to different products and ingredients, and don’t be afraid to consult a dermatologist for more specific information.  

Building a Simple, Effective Skincare Routine 

Let’s put together a simple, effective routine. Remember, consistency is key when it comes to skincare: 

1. Cleanse: Wash the face twice daily with a gentle, non-comedogenic cleanser. If dealing with acne, look for one with salicylic acid. 

2. Tone (Optional): For oily or acne-prone skin, an alcohol-free toner with niacinamide can help balance the skin.  

3. Treat: Address specific skin concerns here. For acne, use spot treatments with salicylic acid or tea tree oil. 

4. Moisturize: Even oily skin needs hydration! Choose a light, oil-free moisturizer. 

5. Protect: In the morning, always finish with a broad-spectrum, non-comedogenic sunscreen to protect skin from sun damage. 

Start with a basic skincare routine and give it time to take effect, typically around 4-6 weeks. When incorporating new products, introduce them one at a time to monitor how the skin responds. Patience and consistency are key! 

Skincare Gifts for Teenagers 

Looking for skincare gift ideas that are safe for teen skin? Grab some of our favorites for stocking stuffers and fun gifts this season. To protect skin from sun damage, the Invisi-Bloc Sunscreen SPF40 is a lightweight, invisible shield that protects their skin without the dreaded greasy feel.

And for those dry, chapped lips, Moisture Lock Lip Mask provides deep hydration and soft, healthy lips, especially during the colder months.

The Path to Healthier Teen Skin 

Navigating skincare during the teen years starts with understanding skin types and using safe and effective ingredients that can help manage common teen skin concerns, but sticking to a routine is what really makes a difference! It’s important to give products time to do their thing and avoid the urge to constantly switch things up. Taking care of skin throughout the teen years lays the groundwork for healthier skin later. Staying informed, being gentle, and embracing the process of finding what works will pay off for the long haul. 

Unlock the Secret to Clear, Joyful Skin

When it comes to skincare, making the right choice can feel like navigating a maze. But fear not! This holiday season, we’re here to guide you through the mistletoe-scented confusion of comedogenicity and skincare ingredients. 

What is Comedogenicity?

Comedogenicity measures the potential of an ingredient to clog your pores. With a scale from 0 to 5, where 5 is most likely to cause pore-clogging, understanding this can help you maintain the perfect holiday glow. Unfortunately, without strict regulations from the FDA, terms like noncomedogenic can often be misleading. But rest assured, we’re committed to clarity and clean beauty. 

Neora: Your Holistic Holiday Companion

At Neora, we are passionate about gifting you clean, effective ingredients for results that shine as bright as your holiday spirit. Our selection process is as meticulous as Santa checking his list twice, ensuring our products work in harmony with your skin and eliminating pore-clogging additives and fillers that only disrupt the skin. 

Naughty-list Ingredients

– Coconut Oil: A festive treat for your hair but a potential pore-clogger for your face. Enjoy it as part of our ProLuxe Hair Mask for luscious locks without compromising your complexion. 

– Octocrylene: U.S. sunscreen manufacturers are currently allowed by the FDA to use this potentially toxic ingredient, which has been deemed not safe in the amounts at which they’re being used. Age IQ Invisi-Bloc Sunscreen Gel does not contain this harmful ingredient, making it a safer option. A common myth is that you only need daily sunscreen in the warmer months. Not true! The harmful rays of the sun don’t discriminate, no matter the season. Make sure to protect your skin year-round with our innovative invisible and weightless microgel formula.

Sparkle with Confidence: NEW! Instant Facial Microdermabrasion Treatment

This holiday, dazzle at every event with clear, polished skin, free from pesky pore-cloggers. Our NEW! Instant Facial Microdermabrasion Treatment is your at-home holiday miracle, inspired by professional treatments to unlock your skin’s natural radiance.

Celebrate this season with confidence, knowing your skincare routine is safe and keeps you glowing for all your festive endeavors. Here’s to a joyful, radiant holiday season! 

As the temperatures start to drop and the weather gets cooler, Amber explains, extra hydration and a more delicate exfoliation process are needed to avoid dry, flaky skin and offer extra protection from environmental stressors. The fall is also a great time to replenish and revitalize the skin from all the damage caused by the summer sun. 

Exfoliation Without Irritation 

“In winter, it’s all about being gentle on our skin,” Amber says. “So, you’ll want to use something that has a little bit of exfoliation but is also gentle.”  

She suggests using silicone scrubbers to remove dirt, oil, and makeup. Not only are these gentle tools affordable, but they are less likely to irritate—especially for more sensitive skin types. It’s important to exfoliate once or twice a week to remove the dead skin cells and improve circulation. Over-exfoliation can strip the skin of its natural protective barrier.  

From Despair to Repair 

Amber also recommends switching to a gentle face cleanser without surfactants and artificial fragrances, which can be harsh and irritate the skin. As far as keeping the skin hydrated, her winter tip is choosing a moisturizer that has multiple moisturizing ingredients that are designed to penetrate several layers to get the best results.  

“Our skin is good at its job, so it’s our job to not damage it,” Amber says. “You don’t want to over-exfoliate and should avoid any harsh acids that are going to disrupt that microbiome and anything that can lead to drying.”  

So the rule of thumb to keeping your skin healthy, hydrated and glowing through the season? Letting your skin do its job and choosing clean products that deliver gentle, yet effective results. 

What are Sunspots?

Sunspots, commonly mistaken for various forms of hyperpigmentation, are flat, brown spots that form on your skin. Primarily caused by prolonged sun exposure, they occur when the skin’s melanocytes—cells that produce melanin—overproduce this pigment, resulting in patches of darker skin. Sunspots can appear anywhere on your body, but they’re most common in areas frequently exposed to the sun, such as your face, hands and shoulders.

In comparison to other forms of hyperpigmentation, sunspots have distinct characteristics. Aside from their overt association with sun exposure, they have an even outline and uniform color. Also, unlike freckles which tend to fade in the absence of sun exposure, sunspots do not lighten up over time.

Causes of Sunspots

As your skin is exposed to UV light, it overproduces melanin, the pigment that gives your skin color. This melanin-harvesting procedure, specifically in sun-exposed areas, results in the formation of sunspots – the flat, brown spots you see.

Apart from UV light, other important influences play a role in the occurrence of sunspots. Aging, for example, makes your skin more susceptible. With advancing age, your skin’s ability to recover from UV damage diminishes, making sunspots more likely to occur.

Prevention of Sunspots

How often have you asked yourself, “How can I prevent sunspots on my face?” Here are some useful strategies and methods for prevention:

• Apply a daily sun protection regime: Neora’s skincare line offers products with SPF that shield your skin from harmful UV rays. Guard your skin daily, even during less sunny days or indoor times. One such product is the Neora Age IQ Day Cream, which contains antioxidants and provides a necessary barrier against environmental stressors.
• Embrace the power of accessories: While limiting sun exposure is best, it’s quite the challenge. Accessories such as broad-brimmed hats, sunglasses and UV protective clothing can augment your defense against sunlight.
• Seek shade whenever possible: Time in the sun is tempting but limiting it, especially during peak hours, significantly reduces the likelihood of developing sun spots.
• Leverage the preventative ingredients in skincare products: A standout ingredient is Vitamin C which can be found in Neora’s IllumaBoost. This nutrient-rich formula helps lighten dark spots and promotes even skin tone, contributing to a sunspot prevention strategy.
• Regularly check your skin for changes: Early detection of sunspot skin discoloration provides a chance to kick start sun spot prevention on the face or begin treatment for existing spots.
• Consult a dermatologist for personalized advice: Depending on skin type and lifestyle, they can recommend the best treatment for sun spots on the face, keeping your skin radiant and healthy.

Treatments for Sunspots

Even the most scrupulous prevention methods might not completely ward off sunspots. When these discolorations show up, understanding how to reduce sunspots with effective remedies can help minimize their appearance.

Topical Treatments

Opt for products packed with key ingredients known to fade hyperpigmentation. Among them, retinoids often take center stage. These Vitamin A derivatives stimulate cell turnover, assisting in buffing away the hyperpigmented surface layers of your skin to reveal fresher, brighter skin below. Similarly, Vitamin C serums offer potent antioxidant protection. Regular application can brighten your complexion and possibly minimize the appearance of dark spots.

Professional Treatments

Amplify your treatment strategy by exploring the area of professional skin services. Laser therapy can zero in on hyperpigmented areas, breaking up the pigment and promoting clearer skin. Another option is microdermabrasion which gently exfoliates and removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells.

Consistent Approach

All these treatments require time and consistency to be effective. With commitment and regular application, you’re reinforcing your skin’s efforts to heal and renew itself. Experts generally agree that patience is key when pursuing a brighter, more even-toned complexion.

Maintaining a constant sunspot prevention regimen supports your treatment efforts and keeps your skin looking its best. Whenever you notice sun spots, consult your dermatologist to establish a personalized skincare plan that takes your unique needs into account.

Tips for Reducing Appearance

In the journey towards radiant, healthy skin, you can act proactively to curb the appearance of sun spot discoloration:

• Prioritize sunspot prevention: Regular application of sun protection products can help protect your skin from harmful UV light. While sunscreen forms a key part of prevention, don’t overlook hats, sunglasses, and cover-ups as additional layers of protection.
• Be mindful of your diet and hydration: A diet rich in antioxidants, fruits, vegetables and hydration can support skin health, lending it resilience against UV damage.
• Maintain a proper skincare routine: Consistently follow a skincare regimen that suits your skin type, includes exfoliation to gently remove dead skin cells and invests in hydration and skin renewal.
• Reach Out for Professional Consultation: For treating sunspots or intensifying hyperpigmentation, consider professional treatments like laser therapy and microdermabrasion. Consult with a dermatologist for a customized approach that combines an at-home regimen with professional intervention.

Your Next Steps Toward Prevention

The route to reducing the appearance of sunspots isn’t a sprint, it’s a marathon. Consistency, coupled with patience, can support your journey towards radiant and healthier skin. Prevention is key, but don’t forget about targeted treatments that amplify the effects. Explore Neora’s curated selection of skincare products designed to combat sunspots and support your skincare goals. 

FAQ about Sunspots

• Are certain skin types more prone to sunspots? 

Yes, individuals with fair skin are more prone to developing sunspots as their skin has less melanin to protect against UV radiation. However, people of all skin types can develop sunspots with enough sun exposure.

• Do certain medications increase the risk of sunspots?

Yes, some medications, such as antibiotics, hormone treatments and anti-inflammatory drugs, can increase your skin’s sensitivity to sunlight, making you more prone to developing sunspots.

• Can sunspots develop during winter?

Yes, UV rays can penetrate through clouds and reflect off snow, causing skin damage even during winter. It’s important to wear sunscreen year-round to prevent sunspots.

Let’s uncover some of the smartest, most effective ways to care for your skin during the hottest months of the year. Because when it comes to summer skincare, it’s all about being proactive, not reactive. 

Sun Protection

Protecting your skin from the sun’s UV rays remains crucial in your summer skincare regimen. When exposed to intense sun rays, your skin can suffer permanent damage, occasionally resulting in sunburn or, in some cases, skin cancer.

To shield your skin, invest in a broad-spectrum sunscreen product. Broad spectrum, signifying it protects against both UVA and UVB rays, these harmful sun rays are noted as contributors to early aging and skin cancer.

For optimal protection, the recommended SPF is between 30 and 50. Most makeups containing SPF do not meet those recommendations. Neora’s Invisi-Bloc SPF 40 uses a lightweight, clear gel formula with innovative technology to create microcapsules of UV filters that absorb instantly without leaving a milky, sticky mess that can clog pores. This innovative and powerful SPF can give you a flawless look while protecting your skin. It’s well-suited for daily use on your face, neck, ears, décolletage, or any areas of the skin that are exposed to the sun and environmental elements.  

Also, if you spend extended time outdoors, opt for sun-protective clothing. Examples include wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses, and clothing with UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) ratings.

Sunless Tanner

Get that just-back-from-vacation look (without leaving your house!) with Neora’s 3-in-1 Self Tanning + Sculpting Foam. This innovative bestseller tans, sculpts, and hydrates with a streak-free, stink-free, and mess-free formula. The safe, natural formula delivers your most natural-looking tan without the harmful aging rays from the sun or tanning beds.

Packed with peptides that support collagen and elastin, it reduces the appearance of cellulite and helps you look more toned and sculpted with each application. The lightweight, clear foam is quickly absorbed into the skin for a mess-free and streak-free application. Just wait 4-8 hours, and voila—tanned perfection. No waiting, no wondering—just more wowing!

Hydration

Proper hydration is an essential part of your summer skincare routine. As you expose your skin to the blazing summer sun, it starts losing moisture, which may lead to skin damage if not properly hydrated. For skin hydration, paying attention to what you put inside your body is as crucial as what you apply.

Incorporating lots of liquids, such as water and natural juices, into your diet ensures that your skin stays hydrated from within. You can also indulge in water-rich fruits and vegetables, like cucumbers and watermelon, which naturally help rehydrate your skin.

Apart from internal hydration, include a hydrating body lotion or moisturizer in your skin care regimen. Opting for a product with ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, aloe vera, or Glycerin helps maintain skin moisture levels during summer. 

Cleansing and Exfoliating

Proper cleansing serves two vital purposes. First, it rids your skin of accumulated dirt, grime, and excess oils, ensuring the pores aren’t blocked. Blockages, if left unchecked, can result in acne breakouts. Second, a clean skin surface allows for better absorption of creams, lotions, and serums applied afterward.

About exfoliation, it’s a process that removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells paving the way for the growth of new, radiant skin. Regular exfoliation assists in unclogging pores and improving the overall skin texture, resulting in a smoother and more vibrant complexion.

Your first step to a radiant complexion begins with our Complexion Treatment Pads. These power-packed pads are your go-to for exfoliation and brightness. They work hard to eliminate uneven texture and decongest pores, leaving you with flawless, beautiful skin. 

Remember, in summer, favor gentle, hydrating cleansers and exfoliating products enriched with elements like Hyaluronic Acid and Aloe Vera. These ingredients provide the necessary hydration to the skin, supporting its health and glow even during the hot months.

Healthy Lifestyle

To achieve glowing skin amid the blistering summer, an optimal skincare routine alone won’t suffice. You’ll also need a balanced diet, regular exercise, and effective stress management. Including fruits and vegetables like watermelon, citrus fruits, and cucumber, which are rich in water content, ensures optimal skin hydration. Regular exercise promotes proper blood circulation to energize and revitalize skin cells. 

Excessive summer heat can stress your skin, causing premature aging and fine lines. By adopting activities such as yoga, meditation, and deep-breathing you’ll effectively manage stress, aiding in maintaining a healthy, glowing complexion during summer. These lifestyle tweaks, combined with your summer-meticulous skincare regimen, result in a phenomenal round-the-clock summer glow. Add these lifestyle changes to your routine, and witness a dramatic difference in your skin health during the blazing hot summer months.

After-Sun Care

Shifting gears from maintaining your skincare routine during summer, let’s investigate “After-Sun Care.” Inevitably, your skin bears the brunt of sun exposure post a hot summer day, leaving it dehydrated and inflamed. Hence, it’s integral to rehydrate your skin and reduce inflammation immediately after sun exposure. Not only does this step soothe your skin, but it also aids in repairing solar damage. A well-formulated after-sun care routine, when applied appropriately, can help shield your skin from further damage and revive its healthy radiance. 

Embrace Your Radiant Summer Skin

So, you’ve learned how to give your skin the summer love it deserves. Remember, it’s not just about slathering on sunscreen or guzzling water. It’s a holistic approach, from what you put on your skin to what you eat, how you manage stress, and how you care for your skin post-sun exposure. You’ve got the tools now, it’s up to you to use them. Make these tips a part of your daily routine, and your skin will thank you. Summer’s here, and it’s time for you to shine. Here’s to a season of healthy, radiant skin!

But, the cause might be more about your skincare routine mistakes than the sunscreen itself. Key factors that contribute to sunscreen pilling are the ingredients present in your skincare items, applying them in incorrect order, or not allowing sufficient time for your skincare products to absorb before moving to the next step. 

Knowing how to prevent sunscreen from pilling can considerably enhance your skincare routine’s effectiveness and give you that seamless sun protection you desire. 

What Makes Sunscreen Pill?

Sunscreen pilling on your face can be embarrassing and frustrating, often leaving you questioning, “Why does my sunscreen flake?” There are key factors behind sunscreen pilling which primarily tie back to common skincare routine mistakes.

First, applying in the incorrect order plays a pivotal role. No doubt, you’ve heard about the significance of the skincare product sequence. Using sunscreen after moisturizer is pivotal for obtaining maximum sun protection without any pilling.

Next, let’s jump into the specific makeup and skincare ingredients that can contribute to pilling. Certain ingredients, when used together, tend to bind in an undesirable manner, leading to pilling. Be aware of your product ingredients and their compatibility.

Finally, the way you apply your skincare products and sunscreen directly affects whether you’ll experience pilling. Rubbing in a harsh manner or using too much product often induces pilling. 

Being aware of these factors and making necessary changes can drastically help in avoiding makeup and sunscreen pilling, thereby ensuring you always step out with flawless sun protection.

The Importance of Using the Right Products and Ingredients 

Sunscreen pilling on your face is an unwelcome issue that can ruin your sun protection and makeup look. Not all sunscreens are created equally. Certain sunscreens might pill after moisturizer due to incompatible ingredients between the two products. For example, silicon-based sunscreens often conflict with oil-based moisturizers, causing formation of those annoying tiny balls. Opting for a sunscreen that aligns with the ingredients in your moisturizer helps avoid this skincare routine mistake.

Application technique is essential too. Avoid rubbing sunscreen on a still damp face from moisturizer. Give your moisturizer time to absorb before the sunscreen application, which can prevent that ugly pilling. Packed with antioxidants, peptides and plant extracts that smooth the look of existing fine lines and wrinkles, our age-fighting Age IQ Day Cream is a great option for a daily moisturizer and is a Neora fave for good reason. Not overly heavy or too light, this clean, multifunctional formula intuitively balances your skin’s moisturization levels no matter your skin type. Created for everyday use, you’ll love its nourishing botanical ingredients that make healthy skin, beautiful skin.

Note, your sunscreen pilling could be a result of makeup pilling as well. Always apply your skincare products in the correct order. By understanding these factors and adjusting your skincare habits, you can help avoid sunscreen and makeup pilling, ensuring your sun protection and makeup remain smooth and flawless.

How to Apply Skincare Products to Avoid Sunscreen Pilling

By following the appropriate application order, you’re less likely to experience issues such as makeup or sunscreen pilling after applying a moisturizer.

1. Cleanse Your Skin: Start by washing your face with a mild cleanser to remove dirt, grime, and oils. This creates a clean slate for subsequent skincare applications. Give Neora’s Double-Cleansing Face Wash a try. By day, this natural, pH-balanced botanical formula gently wakes up your skin, and by night, the same formula shows its muscle. When applied to dry skin, it removes oil-based impurities and makeup (even mascara) and then, with the addition of water, transforms into a soft, milky lather for deep down cleansing.
2. Tone Your Skin: Use a toner to restore your skin’s natural pH balance, making it more receptive to other skincare products.
3. Apply Serums: Next, treat your skin with serums catered to specific skincare needs like hydration, anti-aging, or brightening. These products have a thin consistency and absorb fast.
4. Moisturize: Follow up with a moisturizer. Be patient, allowing time for absorption before moving on to the sunscreen step.
5. Apply Sunscreen: Finally, apply sunscreen generously on all exposed skin. This is the step where most sunscreen pilling on the face happens, often due to rushed application or incompatible product combinations.

Following this skincare routine order can effectively mitigate issues such as sunscreen flaking, and help you prevent sunscreen from pilling as well. By improving your skincare regimen, you can combat these common skincare routine mistakes, ensuring a well-protected, flawless complexion.

Don’t Let Pilling Get in the Way of Healthy Skin All Year Round

Pilling is a common problem that many face, particularly during the hotter months when we use sunscreen the most. 

To prevent this scenario, know the common causes: excess product application, interference with other products (especially if your “sunscreen is pilling after moisturizer”), or dry, unexfoliated skin. Combat this by applying lighter products before heavier ones, and letting each layer absorb before applying the next.

It’s a simple equation –– knowing how to prevent sunscreen from pilling equals carefree summer skincare. Good skincare starts with mindfulness –– avoiding those usual skin care routine mistakes will result in healthier, happier skin all through summer and beyond!

Long, luscious lashes are always the goal in any makeup routine, and there’s one category of product that doesn’t deserve enough credit for achieving them. Enter: eyelash serum. The unassuming yet powerful elixir offers a revolutionary approach to achieving the coveted look of longer, fuller, darker lashes—without the need for falsies. And let’s be real: your favorite mascara can only do so much. Plus, beyond the allure of instantly captivating lashes, serums are designed to protect, nourish, or promote natural lash growth over time. 

Lash growth serums have spiked in popularity over the past couple of years. However, if you have sensitive skin or eyes, ingredients in a regular serum may result in redness, irritated skin, burning or itchiness. While some people feel this is a worthwhile price to pay for longer, healthier lashes, others stop using it altogether. Now, you don’t have to make that choice. 

Results Without the Worry 

LashLush, Neora’s clean 3-in-1 serum has arrived. Finally, meet a safe, vegan and non-toxic formula that is free from the hormones and harmful ingredients that can lead to adverse side effects and are found in many of the leading lash serums out there today—all while making your lashes and brows look and feel longer, denser, thicker and healthier, with visible results in just four weeks. Our formula is powered by our proprietary PWR System that is clinically shown to support collagen, dramatically improving the appearance of lashes and brows.  

Powerful Results. Gentle Formula.  

In a clinical trial 100% agreed it was gentle for their eyes and more than 90% agreed it’s easy to use/apply. Lash Lush is safe, effective, ophthalmologist-tested and irritant-free. Unlike many serums on the market, ours is free from any form of prostaglandin analog, known to cause serious adverse reactions such as ocular irritation and iris color change. 

In addition to our powerful PWR System, we use peptides to promote healthy hair follicles, biotin to strengthen lashes, as well as amino acids, hyaluronic acid, and plant extracts to prevent existing lash hair from breakage and loss.

TLC for Your Lashes

LashLush is enriched with a cocktail of essential vitamins and peptides that are formulated to fortify and condition your lashes, effectively safeguarding them against the daily wear and tear caused by makeup, mascara, and even environmental stressors. The right eye serum conditions, strengthens lashes, and enhances growth. Think about it like a daily leave-in treatment for your lashes. Just as you a put a leave-in conditioner in your tresses to make them look healthier and grow longer, an eyelash serum containing the right ingredients will make your eyelashes stronger, longer, and potentially darker. With regular use, LashLush provides a much-needed dose of TLC to your lashes, helping to minimize breakage and maintain their overall health. 

Packed with growth-stimulating ingredients, LashLush stimulates the hair follicles at the lash line, encouraging stronger, longer, and thicker lashes to emerge, gradually turning your lash dreams into reality. Whether you’re looking for growth or your goal is radiant maintenance, LashLush offers a healthy, hormone-free option that also delivers on its promise of amazing results with regular use. 

All Fun, No Sun!

Gone are the days of baking under the sun to get that bronzed glow. According to dermatologists, exposure to harmful UV rays is the number one cause of premature aging and problems for your skin, including sunburns, sunspots and even skin cancer. The 3-in-1 Self Tanning + Sculpting Foam safely gives your skin that natural-looking tan while also adding more hydration. Plus, it’s packed with peptides that support collagen and elastin to reduce the appearance of cellulite for a more toned and sculpted appearance with each application.  

This hydrating, sunless tanner is great for evening out the skin to conceal imperfections such as blemishes, scars and pigmentation. The lightweight, clear foam quickly absorbs into the skin, minus any mess, odors or streaks.  

It’s easy to use. Here’s how: 

• Just apply three pumps of tanner to the skin in long sweeping motions. Start from your ankles and work your way up. Use just half a pump of tanner for your face. 

• Wash the palms of your hands after use and wait until the tanner is dry to the touch before getting dressed.  

• Allow four to six hours before showering to reveal your developed tan. 

• It’s best to exfoliate 24 hours prior to use. To prolong and maintain your tan, moisturize daily, exfoliate regularly, and reapply as desired.
