Vitamin C discoveries:

Vitamin C, when applied topically helps to protect the skin from free radicals that are produced when the skin is exposed to ultraviolet light, environmental pollution or other factors commonly found during everyday life. The Dept of Dermatology at the Tulane University School of Medicine discovered and supports topical use of cosmeceuticals containing Vitamin C as an effective anti-aging anti-oxidant in skin care.

According to a study conducted at the Department of Dermatology, University Hospital St Jacques in France, it was concluded that topical application of 5% vitamin C cream was an effective treatment for sun-damaged skin. The study, conducted over a six-month period, led to a clinically apparent improvement of “photo-damaged skin”, suggesting a positive influence of topical vitamin C for sun-induced skin-aging. Changes observed with the consistent use of a topical product containing 5% Vitamin C included a statistically significant improvement of hydration, wrinkles, glare and brown spots.

Tepezcohuite – all LaVigne Natural Skincare products feature Tepezcohuite. Derived from the bark of Mexico’s ‘skin tree’, this non-toxic wild-harvested ingredient was used by the Mayans for more than ten centuries to nourish skin. World-renowned spas, such as Las Ventanas al Paraiso in Los Cabos, use Tepezcohuite in some of their exclusive spa treatments (available to their clientele on a very limited basis). LaVigne Natural Skincare now makes this special botanical gift from Mother Earth available to you.

Directions: Start by cleansing your face thoroughly with your usual cleanser. Apply a small amount of the serum onto your fingertips and gently massage it onto your face and neck, avoiding the eye area. Let the serum absorb into your skin for a few minutes before applying your moisturizer.
