What is a Vitamin C Serum?

A vitamin C serum is a skin-care product packed with vitamin C. It has the consistency of a liquid or gel, and is applied topically to the skin. It provides benefits that restore brightness and radiance to complexion and increases collagen boosting for the firming effect. These benefits are a great reason to add a vitamin C serum to your skin-care routine.

The benefit of vitamin C is its anti-oxidant properties to help prevent the forming of free radicals, which go on to break down collagen and elastin. The result, is glowing, youthful skin.

Vitamin C can, however, be applied topically — and that’s where vitamin C serums come in. “Vitamin C is best known for its ability to neutralize free radicals and improve aging skin It can also improve collagen and elastin synthesis — which can improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles; reduce inflammation provide natural, mild exfoliation; and brighten skin.”

 vitamin C can help protect the skin from many problems, including sunburn, photoaging, hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, sagging, dryness, and an uneven skin tone. Anyone dealing with these skin issues may want to consider adding a vitamin C serum to their skincare regimen. But it’s a good idea to get started even if these issues haven’t crept up yet.

We all take vitamin supplements to boost our immune system. Vitamin C Serum is like a skin boosting supplement. While it’s often presented as an anti-aging ingredient, the best time to prevent aging is before it occurs

Vitamin C serums is suitable for people of all ages because virtually everyone is at risk of sun damage. The addition of  vitamin C serums to daily spf moisturizer helps protect the skin from sun damage whilst helping problem areas recover. It protects from sun damage and signs of aging like wrinkles. It also helps promote collagen and boost your natural collagen formation.

Worried about thinning hair hair & hair loss?

FIX HAIR BREAKAGE ON TOP OF HEAD WITH ALFAPARF MILANO RECONSTRCTION REPARATIVE HAIRCARE RANGE

18MAY2023 MYLOOK.IE

Broken hairs around your crown or hairline & frizzy hair indicate hair damage.

• Short single hairs or flyaways sticking straight up around your hairline or around your crown

• Short, blunt strands along the hairline that seem choppy or broken off (compared to baby hair, that’s often thinner and a sign of regrowth)

• Thin hair ends despite thick or lush hair at the crown or near the roots

What Causes Hair Breakage?

Why does hair become brittle, frizzy, and broken?

Your styling choices and hair care routine (or lack thereof) are the likely culprit behind hair damage and breakage. These are the top contributors:

• Chemical processes, like hair dyeing, perming, and straightening, are often harsh on the hair when used too much.

• Heat styling may cause hair to dry out and break off.

• Too-tight hairstyles pull at your hair cuticles, potentially weakening the hair. • Friction from rubbing hair with a bath towel to dry can lead to breakage.

hair breakage is often the result of your hair styling and care

HOW TO FIX HAIR BREAKAGE

ALWAYS wash and condition your hair WITH A sulfate free HYDRATING SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER If your locks are PRONE TO DRYNESS

USE A MASK AS A CONDITIONER IF HAIR IS VERY DRY AND BRITTLE.

ALWAYS USE ANTI BREAKAGE SPRAY when handling wet hair, as this is its most vulnerable state.

Use a wide-toothed comb for detangling

space out hair coloring, perming, or relaxing every 8-10 weeks, so as not to overly damage hair.

USE hair masks ONCE A WEEK TO KEEP HAIR HYDRATED AND STOP IT FROM DRYING OUT BECOMING BRITTLE AND BREAKING

ALWAYS USE A  HEAT PROTECOT SPRAY OR CREAM WHEN heat styling,  to shield locks from intense damage.

USE volumizing sprays TO ADD VOLUME TO ROOTS WHEN STYLING

NEVER SKIP THE CONDITIONING

 ALFAPARF Haircare to Condition hydrate and soften hair 

April 2023 - Conditioning the hair to keep hair hydrated so that it does not become dry, brittle and start breaking. Use a lightweight balancing conditioner that can work as a leave-in after the shower.

Once a week to control Frizz use a deep conditioning treatment / hair mask to nourish, hydrate and repair hair.

Eliminate static hair.

Blow dryers and straighteners completely dry out the hair from any water stored in the strands. Protect it by finishing with a little Cristalli through the lengths and ends to seal the cuticles and prevent static.

Extend hair washing days. Shampoo strips away the natural oils that do the job of protecting the strands. Winter is the perfect time to start spreading out washing days. Use a sulfate-free shampoo and a conditioner with no silicones to avoid further irritating the scalp and drying out the strands. Using a Dry shampoo will soak up the oil to give renewed volume to hair

Prevent exposure. Protect your hair from synthetic fabrics that tend to create more static and damage; use a silk cap under your winter beanie to avoid breakage. 

Avoid hot water. It feels good to warm up by stepping into a steaming hot shower. However, water and steam suck out the moisture from the hair, making it more vulnerable to breakage. Warm yourself up with a hot bath or shower water, but use lukewarm or cold water to wash and rinse off your hair.  Cool water seals down the cuticles making the hair look shinier.

What’s happening to our scalp and hair during pre-menopause and throughout menopause & how can we combat it

Is it just a bad hair day, or is it my hormones? My Hair just goes incredibly greasy in one day or My hair gets completely dry and dull

A lighter thinner ponytail or an increase in hair loss when brushing /  hairline receding / wider parting—a telltale sign of hormonal hair loss

Our Scalp & hair is dramatically affected during both the perimenopausal and post-menopausal years. The hormones involved—mainly estrogen and progesterone—affect your hair’s growth cycles, your scalp and follicle health, and the natural oils that keep hair smooth and lustrous. Because of that, you may experience  thinning, lack of density, texture changes, and dryness as estrogen wanes or high levels of sebum during those hot flushes.

Sometimes your hair may look thicker and healthier; other times it may be thinner and duller. 

THINNING

As estrogen starts to decline, the delicate balance between estrogen and the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is responsible for masculinizing changes such as hair loss, gets disrupted. Women who have a genetic predisposition to hair thinning may begin to see

a lighter thinner ponytail or an increase in hair loss when brushing /  hairline receding / wider parting—a telltale sign of hormonal hair loss

Low estrogen levels can also affect your hair growth cycle, shortening the growth phase and delaying the stage when the hair regrows. Your hair follicles also miniaturize with age, so the strands coming out of them are finer, resulting in an overall lack of density.

DRY, DULL STRANDS

Just as your skin gets dry as estrogen is on the decline, your scalp and, by extension, your hair strands lack hydration, too. A reduction in estrogen results in reduced sebum (oil) production, which normally lubricates the scalp. The result is dry skin and a flaky scalp And, since that hydrating scalp oil isn’t there to work itself down your strands, hair is also drier, as well as duller, more brittle, and breakage-prone.

SCALP SENSITIVITY

Dryness can make a scalp cranky. The skin’s barrier (the outermost layer) forms tiny cracks when it’s dry, which allows irritants to get into it and cause inflammation. Also, if you’re experiencing hair thinning then your scalp is more exposed to environmental aggressors (such as UV rays) and harsh ingredients. This leads to more inflammation. and increased scalp sensitivity.

TEXTURE CHANGES

Hormones can affect the shape of some hair follicles, changing them from, say, circle-shaped follicles that produce straight hair to oval-shaped follicles that produce curly hair.
The coarse, wiry feel of some strands stems from the lack of natural oils. Sebum helps to maintain hair’s pH in a healthy acidic range. Acidity keeps the hair cuticle cells lying tightly against each other like slates on a roof. TEXTURE CHANGES can be due to change Sebum Levels that alter the natural scalp pH balance. Without the acidity, the cuticle cells begin to lift up and pull apart, leaving hair looking dull and feeling rough.
