Ever hear the saying “necessity breeds invention”? Well that is exactly what happened here.
the story
So my side hustle of being a medial aesthetician in my daughter’s naturopathic clinic, EASTND, led to another side hustle of formulating natural skincare ingredients. My husband likes to joke that my side hustle, has a side hustle!
When you blend medical aesthetics with the values and foundations of naturopathic medicine, the quality and the ingredient of skincare product you use, take on a whole new meaning.
Skincare products are a dime a dozen but when it comes to finding products that align to our beliefs and values for treating our clients’ skin, it wasn’t easy.
So I formulated my own!
the science
Bakuchiol our star ingredient! At skinbyKDU, we're committed to providing you with skincare products that prioritize your skin's health, radiance, and well-being. Our dedication to excellence in skincare begins with a singular focus product: Bakuchiol will transform your skincare routine.
A Natural Alternative with Proven Benefits
Bakuchiol, derived from the seeds of the Babchi plant (Psoralea corylifolia), is making waves in the skincare industry for a compelling reason—it's a natural alternative to retinol, a renowned compound for skin rejuvenation. But what sets Bakuchiol apart?
Retinol-Like Benefits, Minimal Sensitivity: Bakuchiol shares striking similarities with retinol in its ability to stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. However, it stands out for being much gentler on the skin, making it an excellent choice for those with sensitive or reactive skin types.
Powerful Antioxidant Properties: Bakuchiol is a potent antioxidant, helping to protect your skin from environmental stressors like UV radiation and pollution. By neutralizing free radicals, Bakuchiol helps prevent premature aging and maintains skin health.
Anti-Inflammatory and Soothing: Studies have shown that Bakuchiol possesses anti-inflammatory properties, making it effective in calming and soothing irritated skin. It can help reduce redness and promote an overall more even complexion.
Suitable for All Skin Types: Unlike retinol, Bakuchiol is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and pregnant or nursing individuals. It offers the benefits of retinol without the side effects, such as dryness, flakiness, and increased sensitivity to the sun.
the routine
Enhanced Absorption: Facial cupping, when paired with our B Serum, optimizes the absorption of essential vitamins and antioxidants, promoting deeper penetration into the skin layers.
Stimulated Blood Circulation: The combination stimulates blood circulation, reducing the appearance of fine lines and imparting a natural, healthy glow to the skin.
Lymphatic Drainage: Gentle cupping massage aids in lymphatic drainage, diminishing puffiness and contributing to a more sculpted facial contour.
Luxurious Skincare Experience: The dynamic synergy between facial cupping and our B Serum offers a luxurious and relaxing skincare experience, promoting both physical and aesthetic benefits.
Visible Results: The revitalizing effects of this duo result in smoother, firmer skin, leaving a visibly radiant complexion.
