Great skincare starts with The Skin Health & Beauty Pyramid™
The Skin Health and Beauty Pyramid™ is a revolutionary philosophy developed to simplify and educate on the priorities of skin needs. It offers a guide to effective solutions for solving common skin conditions that concern consumers most, such as premature aging, problem-prone, unwanted pigmentation and dehydrated skin.
The Skin Health & Beauty Pyramid™ framework is comprised of three levels:
THE PYRAMID BASE: These are “fundamental” technologies for daily skin protection: SPF + Antioxidants + DNA Enzymes. Everyone concerned about improving skin health and beauty must be committed to a lifelong lifestyle that includes daily protection against sun and environmental exposure, otherwise every step we take to improve our skin health is undermined on a continual basis by damage accumulation from that exposure.
CORE OF THE PYRAMID: These are the need-to-have technologies for skin “transformation”- moisturization, exfoliation and cell turnover to improve the overall health and beauty of the skin. Nearly 30 years after their introduction, AHAs and Retinoids (Vitamin A derivatives) are still the number one technology available providing the greatest impact for skin transformation – they have been the pillar of dermatology for three decades for one reason and one reason only — they truly work! AHAs provide topical exfoliation to give the skin a radiant youthful glow and increase skin moisture from the inside out, boosting epidermal volume and reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Retinoids are the metabolic boost that leads to increased cell turnover and essential skin ECM repairs.
TOP OF THE PYRAMID: This is where you optimize your results: These are ingredients that are “nice to have” in your skincare routine, but are not necessarily critical to achieve your desired results. These ingredients include peptides and growth factors that can act as the finishing touches to your skincare regimen.
