Never leave the house without your sunscreen, ever!

Ever since the 1920s when sun kissed Coco Chanel- the founder of Chanel brand, returned from a vacation and made tan one of the hottest fashion trends. It has been a real problem to reverse the popular perception that a tan not only looks attractive but is healthy too.

If skin care gurus could offer you only one tip for the future, sun screen would be it. Even in the dead of winter, UV rays can damage otherwise healthy skin. These radiations penetrate deep into the underlying support structure of the skin, destroy collagen and elastin – the skin protein, cause damage to the immune system, and result in lines and wrinkles all over the face and body. Fortunately, it is one of the causes of aging that can be controlled. At Radical Skincare, we know how important it is to form healthy habits, and applying sunscreen everyday is apart of the Radical way of life. By using sun protection daily, we not only help to protect our skin, but to keep our skin youthful and glowing.  

That’s why we created our chemical free sun screen that’s the perfect accessory for every woman, at every age. Our sunscreen is a major breakthrough in revolutionizing skin care by combining ancient ingredients in a modern way. So this season, protect your skin from UV light while hydrating for a glowing complexion all year long. 

Stay Protected!

A Meaningful Moment with Lionel

What every woman should know about combining ingredients and skin care. We sat down with Radical chemist Lionel Debenetti. 

It is true that some combinations of ingredients must be avoid for safety and / or efficacy reasons .

Vitamin C is a fragile ingredient , and easily oxidized and therefore deactivated. Copper is able to oxidize the vitamin , and , it is true must not be used in the same time .

Alpha hydroxyacids (glycolic , malic , lactic ) or beta hydroxyacids ( salicylic ) are acid.....this is an obviousness.... and must not be combined with other acid ingredients like vitamin C  or retinol , because of the risk of skin irritation due to a too low pH;

Products containing sugars must be avoided .....because glycation  ( combination of sugar with collagen ) is one of the problem against which a good antiaging  treatment must fight.

Exfoliation must be avoided before sun exposure , because it will weaken one of the natural protection of the skin: the stratum corneum , which absorbs apart of the aggressive UV rays.

These simple advices could help to maximize the result of the products.

Monday Mantra

We are always in choice. At any moment, we can choose to move forward into the life we have always wanted to live, or we can stay back in our comfort zone. However, it is here in the comfort zone that we inhibit ourselves from growing, from moving, from changing….and changing not only ourselves, but the world. 

So today, may you manifest a life you love living, and move forward into growth. 

7 Skin Care Tips to Achieve your Best Skin Ever!

So you exfoliate, cleanse, and moisturize your skin to keep it fresh and healthy. But are you sure you’re performing these steps properly? Your beauty routine should work to improve your skin, not to damage it. We found the best ways to nourish your skin with a great skin care regime.  Follow along for your best skin ever!

1.    Avoid Products with Chemical Ingredients

If your skin is sensitive, go for products with natural substances or natural plant extracts. It’s important to avoid products with unnatural ingredients, dyes, or parabens.

2.    Avoid Exfoliating Excessively

Does your skin often dry out, break out, or become red after cleansing your face? These are only a few signs indicating that you over-exfoliate. Exfoliation doesn’t mean using a harsh face scrub or rubbing your skin for hours. That actually causes inflammation, which leads to premature aging of the skin. You simply need a gentle cleanser and a soft washcloth to rub your skin lightly. This will not only cleanse your skin thoroughly, but will help lock in its natural moisture. Our Radical Skincare Hydrating Cleanser has natural calming ingredients, like chamomile, which soothes the skin for a clear and hydrated complexion. For an even deeper clean that’s still gentle on your skin, use our Radical Skincare Age-Defying Exfoliating Pads. These exfoliate away dead skin cells, while also gently removing wrinkles and reducing pore size.

3.    Application Techniques That Will Leave your Skin Looking Youthful

The way you apply your moisturizer has more impact than you may think. Instead of using downward motions while applying night cream or your morning moisturizer, try using a soft, light touch and always in an upward motion. Remember, this is the only skin you have, so be gentle!

4.    Beauty Products with Free Radical Protection

Try using a high potency antioxidant serum that can protect your skin from excessive dryness and free radical attacks. Free Radicals are the #1 cause of aging and cannot be neutralized by just one antioxidant. You need a cocktail of antioxidants to defend against the many different  kinds of free radical.  

5.    Never leave the House without Sunscreen

Exposure to harsh UV rays can take away your skin’s freshness, radiance, and elasticity. Never leave home without applying a SPF 30 or higher. There are many sunscreens out there, but our Radical Skin Perfecting Screen is a three in one blend that not only protects your skin from UV rays, but helps perfect wrinkles and acts as a primer for your favorite makeup. Try our chemical free  Skin Perfecting Screen SPF 30, that’s light enough to allow your skin to breath and potent enough to protect your skin all day long.

6.    Use Alcohol-Free Toner

Alcohol can eliminate moisture from your skin and lead to dead cell buildup. This not only makes your skin dull but can also cause greater oil production and even breakouts. Our toner is alcohol free and will leave your skin feeling fresh and light.

7.    Use Luke-Warm Water when Cleansing

Using extremely hot or cold water in your beauty routine will do more harm than good to your skin.  Always use luke-warm water that is similar to your body temperature, so that your skin is being nourished instead of treated harshly
