Spring Treatments That Will Give You a Summer Glow
3 TRENDS TO TRY NOW
With fun spring and summer activities on the horizon, there’s no better time to give your skin a boost by using some of the best anti- aging ingredients trending now. Here are three we’re excited to try this season. Antioxidants in Skincare Pollution is becoming more of a concern, and companies are looking for ingredients that protect the skin not just from sun and weather exposure but also from the damaging effects of pollution. Pollution distributes free radicals into the air that can lead to wrinkles and other skincare issues. Luckily, skincare regimens that include antioxidants protect the skin from pollution’s effects. For example, moringa is highly effective for skin protection, and it also contains plant hormones that promote skin cell regeneration. Probiotics and Prebiotics You’ve likely heard of probiotics, which are bacteria that promote gut health and boost your immune system. Found in various substances from yogurt to skincare products, probiotics have been trending
for the past few years due to their healthy properties. Prebiotics are essentially the “food” for probiotics, and beauty companies are starting
to use them to fuel the probiotics you already have. Collagen-Stimulating Ingredients
Expect to see more naturally derived, collagen-boosting ingredients like Bakuchiol, which is found in the Psoralea corylifolia plant and promotes collagen and elastin production. With natural, anti-aging properties similar to retinol but softer on the skin, Bakuchiol is going to be on the it-list for skincare products this spring. While these might be trends, we expect to see antioxidants, prebiotics, and ingredients like Bakuchiol on the beauty shelf year-round thanks to their anti-aging properties. Talk to your esthetician to find treatments that incorporate these powerful substances and work for your skin to get you the results you desire. When you’re looking for on-trend beauty products and treatments, you’ll find them at Beautique.

You’ve probably heard the term “superfoods,” which refers to foods that contain high levels of disease-busting, age- defying antioxidants. Here are four ways to get a dose of these amazing benefits. Berries Blueberries in particular are a great source of antioxidants. Add them to smoothies or eat them fresh by the handful. Nuts and Seeds Almonds and walnuts are great options, and you can also try chia or hemp seeds on yogurt. Green Tea 4 ANTIOXIDANT BOOSTERS
