New Innovative, Microbiome Friendly Formula for Blemish Prone Skin

January 05, 2024

Eco-Balance Blemish Defence Serum with Phages and Niacinamide.

Let's dive a bit deeper into the superhero abilities of our Eco-Balance Blemish Defence Serum – the magical creation by Luksha Cosmetics that's about to redefine your skincare journey!

C. acnes Reduction – Making Acne Bid Adieu!
Ever felt like acne was your arch-nemesis? Well, consider Eco-Balance your powerful ally in this battle. The bacteriophages in this serum are specifically tailored to combat Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes) – the villain responsible for those pesky breakouts.

But What's the Deal with C. acnes?
C. acnes, although a natural resident of our skin, can sometimes turn rogue, especially in acne-prone individuals. The acne-causing strains of C. acnes contribute to inflammation, pore blockage, and those unwelcome blemishes. It's like having a party crasher disrupting the harmony of your skin's microbiome.

Eco-Balance to the Rescue – How Does it Work?
Picture this: Eco-Balance Blemish Defence Serum swooping in like a superhero, armed with bacteriophages. These tiny warriors selectively target and eliminate the troublesome strains of C. acnes, leaving the beneficial ones untouched. It's like a precision strike against acne without harming the good guys – ensuring a balanced and harmonious skin environment.

Biofilm Reduction – Clearing the Path to Radiant Skin!
Now, let's talk about biofilms – the invisible shield that acne-causing bacteria create to protect themselves. Think of it as their fortress, making traditional treatments struggle to penetrate. Eco-Balance isn't your average serum; it's a biofilm disruptor. The phages in this serum work tirelessly to break down these protective shields, exposing the acne culprits to the full force of your skincare routine.

Visible Results – It's More Than a Promise!
With Eco-Balance Blemish Defence Serum, you're not just investing in a product; you're investing in visible results. Experience a significant reduction in C. acnes growth in liquid culture solutions – a testament to the serum's efficacy in combating acne at its root. Say goodbye to biofilm-resident C. acnes, making way for clearer, healthier, and radiant skin.

So, there you have it – a glimpse into the superhero showdown happening in every drop of Eco-Balance Blemish Defence Serum.
Ready to unveil your skin's true radiance?

"Made In Vancouver", 2021 Winner!

June 25, 2021

Wow! Our product,  co-Balance Probiotic Radiance Cream, is the Winner of "Made in Vancouver", 2021 in Beauty Category! We sincerely congratulate the winners of this annual competition and thank you very much to the judges for such a high recognition of our work!
 
Vancouver Magazine:
"Eco-Balance Probiotic Radiance Cream by Luksha
We’ve had our eye on Luksha Cosmetics since the Made in Vancouver Awards launched three years ago—they’ve been finalists before, and this year they rightfully clinched the top prize with this probiotic cream.
 
Founder Anastasia Babenko studied in Russia as an epidemiologist, and has been perfecting her organic skincare line from her home base in Burnaby since 2016. And this cream just feels beautiful. The small-batch line has a pale yellow colour thanks to carrot tissue oil and coenzyme Q10, and it’s rich with organic ingredients like pomegranate seed oil (its high concentration of ellagic, punicic and omega 5 fatty acids helps to regenerate and repair skin). Probiotics top off the mix to improve and balance the skin’s barrier and biome."

What "Clean Beauty" Means?

April 23, 2021

In fact, the marketing claim “clean beauty” is deceptive. There’s no “Clean” and “Dirty” to begin with. 

Let’s ask a question for ourselves: what we expect from skincare? Most likely we want it to be safe and effective. Safe, firstly. And here immediately we face the discovery - ANY ingredient, regardless of the origin, might be safe or unsafe depending on the variety of different factors such as its % in a product, pH of the formula, compatibility with other ingredients, way of use, and so on.
For instance, Vitamin B3 (excellent healing and lightening ingredient) might be toxic to the skin if pH of the product is below 5.
Or, orange seed oil, generally nice and safe ingredient, might cause skin allergic reaction in case of sensitive condition or rosacea.
Also, “All natural” is not a promise of safety and/or quality.
And, let us remember that there’s nothing “chemical free”- all matter around and within us are chemicals:)

What are the Plant Stem Cells And What They Do in Your Facial Cream?

April 21, 2021

In fact, the term Stem Cells, applied to skincare, is a bit confusing because initially it was used only for the animal organisms. Stem Cells is a generic term which refers to a special type of cell (undifferentiated cells) in all multi-cellular organisms.
They are special because they can develop into different cells. For instance, embryonic stem cells can be developed into any types of cells like muscle cells, epithelial cells, nerve cells, etc. Another type, adult stem cells (or tissue-specific cells), are specific to the particular organ and can be developed only into this organ cells. These type of stem cells, which are particular to our skin, are found in the basal layer of the epidermis.

So, its more or less clear what do we mean by animal/human stem cells. But what are the plant ones? Are they the same like the animal/humans cells?
No, they are different, but they have some strong similarities which come in how they act. For example, similar to human stem cells, plant stem cells have the unique ability to restore its tissue and self repair, which is very important in the case of injury. Plant stem cells are present in the meristem of live plants and represent a super active plant culture, which is very beneficial to our skin too. According to the clinical studies Plant Stem Cell extracts, applied topically, are very beneficial for our epidermis; they support skin cells renewal, fend off free radicals, and reverse the aging process of cultured fibroblasts, which noticeably decrease the appearance of crow’s feet after extract administration.
Thus, Plant Stem Cells in our facial moisturizer are not the actual live stem cells, but rather a super powerful antioxidant extracts with the cellular plant components, which help your own skin cells to self-repair, and self-renew.

There are different types of Plant Stem Cells used in skincare. For our Cellular Cream we use Malus Domestica fruit cell culture extract, which is a patented liposomal preparation of apple stem cells created by a Swiss company called PhytoCellTec. The stem cells are derived from the ‘Uttwiler Spätlauber’, a rare Swiss apple variety that have especially long-living tissue stem cells.

What Are The Serums?

March 19, 2021

Facial serums are intensive skincare products which you can apply to your skin after cleansing procedure but before your moisturizer. They are made up of small molecules that can penetrate deep into the skin and deliver a very high concentration of active ingredients to the basal layer of epidermis.
This makes serums a great tool for targeting specific skincare concerns.
What is the special appeal of these products? You may use your favourite moisturizer for months but with combination of different serums, and your routine with be always adequate to the current needs of your skin!
By using the serums regularly you make your skin healthier, brighter, and glowing!
Please, note that plant oils are not serums as they are made up of large molecules, which don’t have the ability to truly penetrate the top layer of skin.

Why Skincare With Ceramides Is Essential For The Dry And Sensitive Skin

February 24, 2021

Dryness of the skin is very common issue of the mature skin.
If your skin is dry, pay your specific attention on the skincare with Ceramides.
Below is a brief observation of what they are, how they work on your skin, and an overview of Luksha Cosmetics products with Ceramides.

WHAT ARE CERAMIDES?
Ceramides are the lipid substances that are naturally found in the stratum corneum (the top layer of your epidermis). And what is most important - they represent the main intercellular lipids of our skin.

HOW DO THEY WORK?
Let`s have a look at the composition of the lipid “matrix” of the healthy stratum corneum. There are about 50% Ceramides, 25% Cholesterol, and 25% Fatty Acids and phytosphingosine. That means that a lack of main ingredient of this “cocktail”, ceramides, is clearly associated with skin dryness and the weak skin barrier. In addition, such condition of the skin (with poor content of ceramides) is prone to loose the moisture, which results in dehydrated, flaky, and itchy skin. Thus, ceramides of your facial cream replenish this specific need of your skin and restores its natural barrier.
The proper working lipid barrier of your skin protects the living layers of the epidermis against microbes and pollution, as well as slowing down the trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL).

LUKSHA COSMETICS PRODUCTS WITH CERAMIDES:
🍃 Aloe Vera Ultra-Restorative Cream with Shea Butter and Ceramide Complex.
🍃 Replenishing night cream with Vitamin A and Ceramide Complex.

ENZYME PEELINGS VS. FRUIT ACIDS PEELINGS AND SCRUBS - WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

February 18, 2021

A regular skincare routine usually includes a facial peeling. However, often it's not so easy to decide what  a peeling product would work the best  for your skin. Let’s briefly discuss this topic.
Fruit Acids Peels:
Main active - a collection of intense acids (such as salicylic acid, lactic acid, glycolic acid). These products are acidic. 
Action principle - exfoliate dead skin via dissolving certain proteins and lipids that keep dead skin cells close together. The activity of this peel is highly dependant on the percentage of the fruit acids in a formula, so it might range from mild to super strong. 
Benefits - provides a fast result of softer and more radiant looking skin; provides a deep cleanse for the skin
Downsides - due to its acidity, can sometimes cause soreness or sun sensitivity. In addition, it often removes an upper layer of living skin cells, which causes irritation and a longer period of recovery. In that case, some aftercare for the skin should be applied. 
For whom this peel might work well - those who have normal (not sensitive) skin and who are seeking for faster and more profound exfoliating results. 

Scrubs:
Main active - different sorts of physical particles (such as sugar, salt, coffee, seeds, nutshells, oats, pumice, ground rice, etc.). These products are pH neutral. 
Action principle - this is a mechanical exfoliation, which removes the dead skin cells using physical abrasion.
Benefits - provides a fast cleansing result.
Downsides - As some particles particles have edges, they may cause soreness and microtraumas of the skin, which may lead to inflammation. In addition, like acids peel, it often removes an upper layer of good living skin cells, which causes irritation and a longer period of recovery.
For whom this peel might work well - those who have healthy normal skin and who prefer fast cleansing results.
Enzyme Peels:  
Main active - natural products usually obtained by the fermentation. These products are Ph neutral. 
Action principle - also cleanse your skin via dissolving dead skin cells proteins, but without irritation and causing sun sensitivity.  The activity of this peel is highly dependant on the percentage of enzymes in a formula, so it might range from mild to strong. 
Benefits - makes your skin smooth and glowing without damaging the epidermis.
      Some enzyme peelings, besides exfoliation, provide other benefits to the skin. For instance, peels like Gentle Facial Peeling Gel With Natural Enzymes and Ginger Root Extract by Luksha Cosmetics (https://www.lukshacosmetics.com/collections/extra-treatment/products/gentle-facial-peeling-gel-with-natural-enzymes-and-ginger-root-extract)  also improves the collagen production to firm and strengthen your skin.
Downsides - due to its gentle action, should be used more frequently than acids peel. 
For whom this peel might work well - those who have sensitive skin, pregnant or breast-feeding, and who are seeking for an effective but mild exfoliating regime.

Winter Acne

January 14, 2021

Why Do We Experience More Acne In Winter?
In fact, there are a plenty causes of seasonal acne. Let’s consider the most common ones:

- Cooler and drier air makes our skin to protect itself via producing more sebum. The excess of sebum protects the epidermis from cold and wind and reduces trans-epidermal water loss. But negative effect of it is clogging the pores and triggering skin inflammation.
- Shortage of vitamin D, which weakens skin’s immune response.
- Harsh cleansing products (such as bar soaps), which are stripping the natural oils from the skin making it to produce more oils for to balance the dryness.
- Stress (depress your immune system and unbalance the hormone level) ;
- Your lifestyle choices including diet.

Winter Skincare Solution:
1. Use only mild cleansing products such as hydrophilic cleansing oils.
Example - Cleansing Oil with Clove Stem Oil and Vitamin E.

2. Remember to exfoliate your skin regularly with mild enzymatic peeling product. Do not use scrubs.
Example - Gentle Facial Peeling Gel With Natural Enzymes and Ginger Root Extract.

3. Use the products which stimulate regeneration, balance the sebum production and reduce inflammation.
Example (product on the picture) - Intensive Pore&Oil Control Serum with Willow Bark Extract, Retinol, and Tea Tree Oil.

4. Moisturize! If your skin is well moisturized, it produces less sebum.

Examples:
✨ For a night - Moisturizing Cream-Mask with Hyaluronic Acid, Organic Shea Butter, and Collagen boosting peptides (apply a thin layer).

☀️ For the day - Intensive Pore and Control Serum, listed above or Eco-Balance Probiotic Radiance Cream (to boost your skin’s natural immune response).

To help your skin to produce more vitamin D and more effectively retain the moisture, apply Eco-Balance Prebiotic Serum underneath.

How To Care For Our Skin During Winter Time.

December 21, 2020

Well, finally the winter came to Vancouver with its snow falls and cold winds. How to care for our skin during this time? What happens with our skin when the temperature gets cooler?

Firstly, the air humidity goes down, which often means more dry and less glowing skin. Even if you have oily or combination skin, the cold weather may affect it significantly causing dryness, irritation, and acne.

Secondly, cold temperature put stress on the skin’s blood vessels making them narrower and more fragile. This is why it’s important to consider some skincare changes for the cooler days.

Tip #1: Use an oil-based cleanser. The hydrophilic cleansing oil effectively dissolves the skin sebum that is stuck in the pores and allows all of the impurities to be easily removed with water. And it's a fantastic choice for the winter time because along with the cleansing properties, it provides the necessary lubrication to the epidermis, which protects it from dryness and irritation.

🍃 Example - Cleansing Oil with Clove Stem Oil and Vitamin E: https://www.lukshacosmetics.com/collections/cleansers/products/cleansing-oil-with-licorice-extract-and-vitamin-e Tip

#2: Remember to exfoliate and use the hydrating masks. Exfoliants and facial masks are essential in a winter skincare routine. They provide immediate results while giving a moment of pleasure and relaxation. With colder weather the roughness of the skin can be more obvious, so exfoliation is important . At the same time, focus on hydration is also essential in order to prevent dryness. Avoid the mechanical exfoliation as it may cause dryness and inflammation. The best choice for the home regime would be a mild exfoliant based on natural enzymes or fruit-acids.

🍃 Example - Gentle Facial Peeling Gel With Natural Enzymes and Ginger Root Extract: https://www.lukshacosmetics.com/collections/extra-treatment/products/gentle-facial-peeling-gel-with-natural-enzymes-and-ginger-root-extract

🍃 Moisturizing Cream-Mask (leave on product, no need to remove it with water): https://www.lukshacosmetics.com/collections/extra-treatment/products/moisturizing-cream-with-hyaluronic-acid-organic-shea-butter-and-collagen-boosting-peptides

Tip #3: Very important. Moisturize your skin with a WINTER-FRIENDLY PRODUCT. Choosing moisturizers with the specific active ingredients, which provide the extra-protection of epidermis against the harsh weather (such as ceramides and antarcticine), is key to the healthy skin during winter.

Examples: 🍃 Revitalizing cream with Antarcticine®: https://www.lukshacosmetics.com/collections/day-night-creams/products/collagen-boosting-cream-with-antarcticine

🍃 Aloe Vera Ultra-Restorative Cream with Shea Butter and Ceramide Complex: https://www.lukshacosmetics.com/collections/day-night-creams/products/aloe-vera-ultra-restorative-cream-with-shear-butter-and-ceramide-complex

Tip #4: Keep drinking lots of water. While it is not a skincare routine step, it’s still an incredibly important tip to keep in mind. Drinking about eight glasses of water a day is very important for body and skin hydration.

Tip #5: Keep air in your house humid enough. While our household heaters keep us warm during the cold days, they also suck the moisture from the air, drying it and our skin out. There's also less moisture in the atmosphere during the colder months generally. Using a humidifier in our houses, especially in a sleeping room, might really help. In fact, clean and well humidified air promotes cell turnover and helps us to maintain smooth and supple skin.

Happy winter everyone and have a healthy skin! ❄️
