Your top skincare questions, answered!
Your skin is the largest organ in the body, and it’s the first thing people see — so let’s take care of it! The skin acts as a sacrificial barrier to the body, and its high cell turnover helps to continually replace dead skin cells on the skin's surface.
Over time, however, wear and tear can start to become more apparent, showing as fine lines, blemishes, dark spots, hyperpigmentation, puffiness, wrinkles and sagging skin.
Supporting your skin with quality skincare products that contain nutrients, antioxidants, and pro-skin health ingredients can make all the difference and help keep your skin looking and functioning at its best.
IS THE VITAMIN C IN THE SERUM OKAY FOR PEOPLE WITH SENSITIVE SKIN?
Yes, this serum has been dermatologist tested and approved for sensitive skin. We use two different forms of Vitamin C that are known to be gentler on the skin as opposed to the common form of ascorbic acid that many other brands may use. Our Vitamin C Serum is a great way to topically deliver Vitamin C, which can help to support collagen production and is suitable for most skin types. As always, be sure to test spot prior to applying on the entire face to test for any potential reaction.
CAN I USE THE RANGE IF I HAVE ACNE?
Yes, our range is suitable for you if you have acne-prone skin and experience breakouts. It is formulated with many soothing ingredients, such as Aloe Vera and Calendula, which are helpful for calming troubled skin. Our products are also designed to maintain and support the skin barrier and skin microbiome, both of which play important roles in healthy skin. When these aspects of the skin are functioning well, your skin will be more resilient to bacteria and breakouts.
WHAT ARE ANTIOXIDANTS, AND HOW DO THEY SUPPORT SKIN HEALTH?
The word antioxidant seems to be plastered on many wellness-related products, but what exactly are antioxidants, and how can they support the skin?
Antioxidants are molecules that can protect your body from highly reactive molecules known as free radicals. These molecules are unstable and will steal electrons from nearby structures and cells, which can accumulate to cause noticeable damage over time.
The skin is constantly bombarded by harsh elements and radiation from the sun, which can increase the number of free radicals. Having a skincare routine that includes known antioxidants like vitamin C can help to provide some antioxidant support to potentially support the body’s natural defense against the oxidative stress the skin ensures.
DOES THE CLEANSER REMOVE MAKEUP?
Yes, it has been formulated to remove impurities as well as makeup. If you wear heavier makeup, you may find it helpful to perform a double cleanse and/or use a makeup remover pad or cloth to help lift the makeup from your skin whilst cleansing.
IS THE SKINCARE SUITABLE FOR PEOPLE WITH DRY SKIN?
Yes, our range has been formulated with a plethora of hydrating and deeply nourishing ingredients that are ideal for those with dry skin, to replenish moisture levels and protect the skin from further dryness. Our cleanser is cream-based and will not leave skin feeling dry or tight after use. Our moisturiser is incredibly restorative and provides lasting locked-in hydration.
CAN THE SERUM BE APPLIED UNDER AND AROUND THE EYE AREA?
Yes, this serum is generally suitable for under and around the eye area and can be very beneficial for this purpose. The delicate eye area is often one of the first places to show signs of ageing and effects of lifestyle, such as tiredness or stress. Vitamin C is known to brighten dark circles, as well as provide collagen support. Hyaluronic Acid helps to hydrate, plump and smooth the skin below the eye for a youthful appearance. Pro-Vitamin B5 is also a great ingredient for this area, as it is incredibly protective.
HOW LONG UNTIL I SEE RESULTS USING THE 4-STEP VITAMIN SKINCARE SYSTEM?
Our carefully selected active ingredients produce both short and long term benefits to the skin. Most people experience some skin improvements within 24 hours of beginning the 4-step regime. During in-use trials:
- 91% - Participants immediately experienced deeply hydrated, smoother, nourished skin.
- 88% of participants experienced increased skin radiance and brightness.
- 83% - Participants experienced visibly more youthful skin.
- 94% - Participants experienced skin that felt calm and soothed.
*After 24 hour wear results from an independent in-home user trial on 88 women.
Generally by 2 weeks you will begin to see more substantial changes that will continue to improve with longer use.
CAN THE MOISTURISER BE APPLIED UNDER MAKEUP?
Yes, this moisturiser provides a smooth and flawless base to apply foundation on top of. For best results, please allow the moisturiser to merge into the skin for 60 seconds before applying your makeup.
WHAT PRODUCTS ARE RECOMMENDED FOR PIGMENTATION?
The whole range is suitable for those with pigmentation, however the hero product we recommend to assist with this skin concern is the Pro-Collagen Vitamin Serum, which is brightening for the skin. We use 2 different forms of stable Vitamin C at a concentration of 9% for optimal efficacy. In-vitro studies have proven the results of these forms of Vitamin C to lighten skin discolouration.
We also recommend pairing this with the Luminous Vitamin Oil for further support, which contains the natural retinol alternative Bakuchiol, also known to assist with pigmentation. In one study, after 12 weeks of treatment with Bakuchiol, participants experienced significant improvement in pigmentation and an overall reduction in photo-damage.
IN WHAT ORDER SHOULD I USE THE JSHEALTH 4-STEP VITAMIN SKINCARE SYSTEM? ?
Generally, a quality skincare routine involves three main stages: cleanse the skin from excess oil buildup and debris, hydrate and protect the skin and lock in the moisture. These steps work together to provide your skin with optimal support and work with your skin to support an anti-ageing appearance.
Our four vitamin-infused skincare products should be used in a similar fashion. Wash your face with our Vitamin Cleanser, follow this up with our Vitamin Serum to provide deep hydration and vitamin support, lock in that moisture with our Vitamin Oil, and finally, top it off with our Probiotic Vitamin Moisturiser to help protect the skin and deliver probiotics to support the natural skin microbiome.
DO I USE THE SKINCARE MORNING AND NIGHT?
Yes, we recommend using all 4 products as part of your morning and evening skincare routine for optimal results. However, everyone’s skin is different and if you feel certain products work best for you once a day, then you can always adapt this to suit your individual skin type and lifestyle.
IS JSHEALTH VITAMINS SKIN SUITABLE DURING PREGNANCY AND BREASTFEEDING?
Yes, we have formulated the range to generally be suitable for expectant and breastfeeding mothers. We only use natural fragrances in small amounts and have developed each product with the utmost care in order to minimise irritations. We do not use retinols in our formulas and instead use natural alternatives that are considered safe during pregnancy. For extra caution, it is recommended to do a patch test before use and confirm with your health practitioner that the products are suitable for you.
IS THE SKINCARE NATURAL AND/OR ORGANIC?
JSHealth Vitamins is committed to providing clean and pure formulas. This means our range uses mainly natural ingredients, which are either naturally-derived from botanicals or are nature-identical forms of nutrients. We also use a variety of Certified Organic ingredients in the range. Please refer to the individual product ingredient listings for a complete breakdown. Our clean and pure promise means that we never include any nasties such as parabens, sulfates, phthalates, mineral oil, petrolatum, silicone, synthetic fragrances or colours, and ethoxylated cleansers and solubilisers.
DO JSHEALTH SKINCARE PRODUCTS CONTAIN RETINOL?
Our products utilise an alternative to retinol known as Bakuchiol which yields similar results to the skin as retinol while being tolerated by individuals with sensitive skin.
Retinol and retinoids are Vitamin A-derived molecules frequently included in skin care products for their skin-supporting properties. Specifically, retinol helps to support the synthesis of collagen in the skin and natural cell proliferation.
Retinol can be a good ingredient to include in your skincare routine, but it is not well tolerated by everyone and can cause side effects like itchy, red and peeling skin in those with sensitive skin.
ARE THE SKINCARE PRODUCTS GOOD FOR COMBINATION SKIN?
Combination skin occurs when your skin has a combination of characteristics, from oily skin and dry skin. Some individuals may have oily T-zone areas, including the forehead, nose, and chin, while the rest of the skin is dry.
Dehydrated skin and excessively oily skin require different approaches, but generally, our products are well tolerated by those with oily skin and those with dry, sensitive skin.
CAN I TAKE THE SKIN DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS AND USE THE SKINCARE PRODUCTS?
At JSHealth, we are dedicated to providing you with the tools you need to best support your overall health and wellness, which extends well beyond skincare products. Your skin is a reflection of your inner health, and we believe long-lasting support starts from within. Our range of dietary supplements are thoughtfully formulated to nourish your body with the nutrients it needs to bring out your inner glow and radiance.
Whether you’re dealing with acne, dryness or other skin concerns, our supplements work in harmony with our Vitamin Skincare range to provide you with support both inside and out. Choose from our selection below:
Skin + Digestion Formula
This dietary supplement contains ingredients selected specifically to help support the gut/skin connection. Your skin and the lining of your GI tract are composed of epithelial cells. Our formulation aims to support these cells through a combination of holistic ingredients like Ginger, Turmeric, Vitamins, Minerals and Amino acids.
Skin Bright + Formula With SkinAx²
The Skin Bright + Formula With SkinAx² is a potent dietary supplement that provides you with targeted skin support. The formula contains Nicotinamide (a form of niacinamide) and our SkinAx² antioxidant formula, which contains Grapeseed, Melon Extracts, and an infusion of Vitamin C and Zinc.
COLLAGEN
Collagen is one of the most abundant types of protein found in the body. Collagen is immensely important in the skin's structure and provides skin with its elasticity and bounciness. An unfortunate aspect of ageing is that collagen production within the body can slow. This slowed production of collagen can contribute to things like the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. Supplementing collagen may help to support collagen production in the body when it is consumed regularly and if you are deficient in pre-collagen molecules.
We have a number of dietary collagen supplements available, including Pure Marine Collagen, Vitality X + Collagen Powder, Greens + Collagen and our Collagen Beauty Creamer. These collagen supplements are derived from marine sources and are hydrolysed for a higher bioavailability of collagen.
