Hundreds of ingredients are used in skincare, yet a handful of active ingredients come up time and again. These are often chosen because they work on common skin concerns such as ageing, pigmentation, redness, dryness and blemishes.<\/p>\n

Why some ingredients do more than others<\/h2>\n

Not every ingredient in skincare has the same role. Some are there to help a product spread pleasantly or keep for longer. Others are added specifically for what they do for the skin. These are often called active ingredients. They are used to address a particular skin concern or to support the skin in a specific way, whether that is encouraging skin renewal, reducing redness or supporting the skin barrier. At Babassu we regularly notice that customers choose a product because a certain ingredient is popular. In practice, an ingredient tends to work best when it suits what the skin needs at that moment.<\/p>\n

How to choose ingredients that suit your skin<\/h2>\n

Many skin concerns look alike, while the underlying cause can be very different. A tight feeling in the skin can come from a lack of moisture, but also from a disrupted skin barrier. Redness can go hand in hand with sensitivity, while spots sometimes appear because of hormonal changes. That is why a good choice does not start with an ingredient, but with understanding what is happening in your skin. Once you understand the cause of a concern more clearly, it becomes easier to choose ingredients that genuinely suit it.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>

What helps when your skin loses firmness<\/h2>\n

As we grow older, the production of collagen and elastin slows down. As a result the skin can feel less firm and fine lines become more visible. Many women also notice that their skin recovers more slowly and takes on a different look than before.
\nRetinol is one of the best-known ingredients for skin ageing. It supports skin renewal and is widely used for loss of firmness, fine lines and the pigmentation that comes with ageing. In our boutiques we see that retinol is especially popular with women who notice their skin changing during or after the menopause. It does call for a careful, gradual build-up and is not always immediately suited to every skin. Would you like to know more about the causes of skin ageing and how to approach it? Then The best approach to skin ageing for firm, radiant skin [The best approach to skin ageing for firm, radiant skin] is also worth reading.<\/p>\n

Ingredients that can help with pigmentation<\/h2>\n

Pigmentation appears when the skin produces more pigment in certain areas. Sunlight, hormonal changes and previous inflammation can all play a part. The best approach depends on the cause and on how deep the pigment sits.
\nVitamin C is an ingredient that is often used for an uneven skin tone and pigmentation. It is also widely valued for the way it helps protect against external influences. Retinol, too, is regularly used where skin renewal and pigment formation play a role. At Babassu we often see that pigmentation<\/a> does not come from a single cause. Sunlight, hormonal changes and skin ageing frequently play a part at the same time. That is why pigment usually calls for a broader approach than a serum<\/a> alone.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>

What suits sensitive or easily reddened skin?<\/h2>\n

Skin that reacts quickly to products or to outside influences often needs support for the skin barrier. When this protective layer is not working as well, the skin can become more sensitive to changes in temperature, to skincare products and to other triggers. Niacinamide is an ingredient that is widely used for redness, sensitivity and a disrupted skin barrier. It helps to strengthen the skin and supports its natural recovery process. In our boutiques we regularly see redness, dryness and sensitivity occurring together. That makes niacinamide an interesting ingredient for several concerns at once.<\/p>\n

Which ingredients are often used for spots and blemishes?<\/h2>\n

When spots and blemishes play a role, the focus is often on ingredients that help to calm and support the skin. Not every blemish-prone skin needs harsh products. In fact, for many people too intensive an approach can push the skin further out of balance. Niacinamide is widely used because it can help with redness and unsettled skin. It is also regularly chosen for skin that is prone to blemishes. Because it supports the skin barrier as well, it often fits well within a broader approach.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>
