Youth To The People Adaptogen Deep Moisture Cream - Calming + Hydrating Face Cream with Pentapeptide, Rhodiola + Reishi Mushroom - No Mineral Oil - Clean Skincare (2oz)

Product Information

Third, jojoba oil moisturizes the skin through a unique dual action:on the one hand, it mixes with sebum and forms a thin, non-greasy, semi-occlusive layer; on the other hand, it absorbs into the skin through pores and hair follicles thendiffuses into the intercellular spaces of the outer layer of the skin to make it soft and supple.

This cream is full of adaptogens! These ingredients are indeed very popular at the moment, especially among people who are fond of healthy food. Right now, you can see them everywhere! Turmeric latte, mushroom coffee… The very popular wellness trend makes us adopt these strange ingredients with often exotic names (at least for Westerners) in our daily lives. But, as is often the case, adaptogen ingredients are not really new. They have even been used for centuries in traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine!

Youth To The People use many food ingredients in its product formulations and Adaptogen Deep Moisture Cream is no exception! I received a sample of their other moisturizing cream with Kalemuch lighter, which I tried while I was in France last spring and I liked it. A good moisturizing cream, simple and fuss-free.

Mother Nature also created wax esters but for a totally different purpose. Chemically, a wax ester is a fatty acid + a fatty alcohol, one long molecule. Wax esters are on the outer surface of several plant leaves to give them environmental protection. 25-30% of human sebum is also wax esters to give uspeople environmental protection. In 2014, they naturally decided to follow the same path as her and launched their own skincare brand, but with a cool and above all very green Californian twist!Ginseng, whether it’s Panax Ginseng or Rhodiola, which are energizing and stimulating plants. In cosmetics, they’re powerful antioxidants with anti-aging properties. And in all honestly, for me, that is the real spotlight of this product! I like the idea of a moisturizer that fights inflammation due to stress and allows me to preserve my skin by doing anti-aging prevention. As I have already said and repeated here, prevention is for me one of the best anti-aging strategies! It’s easier to keep what you already have by protecting it than to repair what’s damaged. I have been tempted to try something from the skincare brand Youth To The People for a little while now… When they released a moisturizer with adaptogenic ingredients, curiosity got the better of me and I finally took the plunge! Let me tell you more about the Adaptogen Deep Moisture Cream and its star ingredients along with such a mysterious name. Ashwagandha and Turmeric which are energizing spices widely used in Ayurveda. They’re also anti-inflammatory in topical use (on the skin).

Regarding cosmetic products, they’re mainly used for their antioxidant properties because they’re supposed to help the skin by protecting it from environmental stress. Also, this Adaptogen Deep Moisture Cream is supposed to be more suited for dry skin, which is not my case. I have combo skin, very dehydrated at the moment but still. According to the brand, Adaptogen Deep Moisture Cream is aimed at more drier skin types and it’s true that when you look closely at its formula, there are many nourishing ingredients included. But the Adaptogen Deep Moisture Cream still intrigued me. It contains adaptogenic ingredients, which are one of skincare’s big trends of the moment ( inKorea as well), and I was curious.Scientists are just beginning to study them, but they suppose that adaptogens bring balance to the hypothalamic-pituitary-endocrine axis, which regulates communication between the brain and the adrenal glands (responsible for stress response). Youth To The People Adaptogen Deep Moisture Cream is a moisturizing cream but not only that! Thanks to all its adaptogen ingredients, it also has very interesting antioxidant properties.
