When it comes to shopping for beauty products, luxury skincare should actually be viewed as a wise investment, rather than an unnecessary splurge. By choosing the best skin care ingredients we can find, we’ll get visible results faster that make us look better and feel more confident.
Since our face (and most importantly, our skin) is the first thing people often see, it pays for us to treat it well. When our skin looks bright, radiant and gorgeous, our true beauty can shine through.
That’s why finding luxury skincare brands that are truly worth the investment are like finding rare gems.
Why Choose Bionyx Skin Care?
In my quest to find the best skin care products out there, I recently discovered Bionyx skin care.
Bionyx is a premium skincare brand that was developed utilizing high-grade skin care ingredients like DMAE (which promotes firmer skin), retinly palmitate (which is derived from Vitamin A and has anti-aging and anti-acne properties), collagen (which increases skin firmness), witch hazel (which is cleansing) and palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 (which is anti-aging).
In addition, Bionyx also infuses colloidal platinum in each of its products, which is heralded for its anti-aging benefits due to the antioxidants. Antioxidants fight against free radicals, which are the culprits behind premature aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, and a host of other problems.
What are the Benefits of Ingredients in Bionyx Products?
Benefits of DMAE: As reported by US National Library of Medicine and National Institutes of Health, DMAE can help the “appearance of coarse wrinkles, under-eye dark circles, nasolabial folds, sagging neck skin, and neck firmness.” In addition, “the acute skin-firming effects of DMAE have been confirmed by quantitative measures of cutaneous tensile strength.”
Benefits of Retinly Palmitate: If you’ve found that Retinol is too much for your sensitive skin, then this is a gentler alternative. The primary purpose of this ingredient is to encourage the skin’s natural regeneration process. It helps to stimulate collagen and elastin production (which starts to slow down as we age). Collagen and elastin (which are created naturally by the body) are like the glue that holds everything together, creating a scaffolding for our skin. That’s why skin starts to get wrinkles and a “caved-in” effect as we get older. So, to slow down this process, ingredients like this can be effective.
Benefits of Witch Hazel: Often used for acne treatments, witch hazel is a botanical extract that has long been renowned for its cleansing ability. This centuries-old skincare treatment can help prevent the onset of blemishes by clearing the pores of impurities. In addition, it has anti-inflammatory properties and contains beauty-boosting antioxidants.
Benefits of Collagen: If you want that coveted “natural glow”, I can promise you – it doesn’t come from a magical highlighter (that’s like the icing on the cake, so to speak). It actually comes from healthy, radiant skin. To help skin look vibrant, collagen is one of the most beneficial ingredients around. Collagen can help promote skin elasticity, making skin look firmer and more youthful.
As a woman who’s faced nearly every common skin issue out there (including acne, large pores, sensitivity, oiliness, dryness, redness, discoloration, and wrinkles), I’ve become incredibly particular about the skincare products I use. In addition, since I was a teenager (who suffered from acne and combination skin), I’ve been vigilant about my daily skin care regimen. As a result, I’ve seen great improvement in the appearance of my skin just by taking care of it each day.
Here are some of my tips on how to create beautiful, radiant skin using the Bionyx skincare products.
STEP 1: Cleanser
Using the Bionyx Milk Cleanser, remove makeup, debris, and dirt from skin each morning and night. In a gentle circular motion (which helps to stimulate circulation in the skin and “wake up the skin” by giving it a refreshed, dewy appearance), apply the cleanser to your wet face with your fingers. Wash with cool water and gently pat dry.
TIP: If you have dry or sensitive skin, a milk cleanser like this one is especially helpful as it soothes and moisturizes skin while cleansing it of impurities.
STEP 2: Toner
Often an overlooked step in most people’s skincare regimens, using a toner can actually help invigorate the skin. Containing Vitamin B3, Platinum and Hyaluronic Acid (which greatly helps to hydrate skin), apply toner with a cotton pad to skin in an upward motion.
A toner is also helpful in removing any traces of makeup or dirt that didn’t get removed during cleansing. This 2-step cleansing and toning process help to keep pores clear of toxins, impurities, or excess sebum (which can clog the pores, resulting in congested skin and acne).
STEP 3: Day Cream
To protect and nourish our skin during the daytime, using an anti-aging day cream is always a good idea. Applied after using toner, the Bionyx Platinum Essential Day Cream contains Platinum and Sunflower Seed Oil, which can help minimize the look of fine lines and wrinkles. Make sure to follow with sunscreen on top.
TIP: Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen each day, even on overcast or rainy days (as the dangerous UV rays can penetrate through clouds and windows). Premature aging in the skin is often caused by environmental factors, such as sun damage, toxins, and harsh weather. That’s why you need to apply a sunscreen every day.
STEP 4: Night Cream
If you’ve ever heard of the term “beauty rest”, there’s valid reasoning behind this phrase. When you sleep at night, your body goes into rejuvenation-mode. The body’s natural ability to heal itself is heightened during a deep sleep. That’s why it can be especially beneficial to use an effective night cream (such as Bionyx Platinum Vita Night Recovery) before going to bed.
After cleansing skin and removing all traces of makeup, apply the night cream to the skin by massaging the formula into the skin in a circular motion. This serum contains powerful anti-aging ingredients that can help create a more luminous complexion with repeated use.
STEP 5: Weekly Face Peel
To slough away dead skin cells and reveal fresher, more youthful skin below, using a weekly face peel (like the Bionyx Platinum Complex Facial Peeling) will provide you with instant results that boost your beauty (and confidence).
When it comes to topical skincare products that are designed to exfoliate the skin, there are two basic types – chemical or physical. Physical exfoliants (such as granular scrubs) can sometimes cause irritation to sensitive skin. That’s why it’s often better to opt for a gentle chemical peel instead, as it can make skin look more radiant and dewy without scratching or injuring the delicate skin.
I especially love using this face peel before a special event or when my skin is looking dull or lackluster. It’s an instant glow-booster as well, as it gets rid of any dry flaky patches and makes skin feel silky and smooth. Plus, it seems to make pores look smaller, which also helps foundation glide on more evenly.
STEP 6: Weekly Sheet Mask
One of the most popular skin care treatments to hit the market in recent years is the sheet mask. Infused with nutrients that revitalize, rejuvenate, and replenish the skin, the Bionyx Platinum Foaming Sheet Mask is a luxurious treatment for the skin. This foaming sheet mask helps to brighten and invigorate skin with fruit extracts, oxygen bubbles, and anti-aging Platinum.
To use, cleanse skin first before applying. Smooth the sheet mask over the face, ensuring that it doesn’t come in contact with your eyes. Leave the mask on for 10 minutes, so that the detoxifying foam gets fully activated. Discard the sheet mask and rinse your skin with cool water.
TIP: This sheet mask is not recommended for sensitive, irritated skin or on open sores.
Much like caring for a delicate Orchid, our skin can be just as sensitive to its environment, stressors, and other factors that can wreak havoc on it. When we’ve had too little sleep, too much caffeine, sugar or refined carbs, and are even dealing with mental or emotional stress, we often see the effects on our skin. Blemishes pop up out of nowhere, fine lines start to turn into deeper wrinkles, dry patches get rougher, undereye bags get bigger, and so forth.
Being the largest organ in our body, the skin often shows the most visible signs of “wear and tear”. When we neglect ourselves, our skin often pays the price. That’s why it’s crucially important that we take a proactive approach to our daily skincare regimen. In addition, we need to be mindful of our daily routines, to ensure we are doing our part to get ample rest, enough water and nutritious healthy food, and using quality skin care products that help our skin look its best.
When we regularly take care of our skin, it improves. When we use the best skincare ingredients, we see the effects on our skin. That’s why investing in luxury skin care products is actually one of the wisest purchases we can make.
