We all aim for a smooth, clear and even toned complexion, but different skin tones have different sets of problems, here we look at how our oxygen skincare products can help darker skin tones.
Three of our products; Vita-A-Kombi 2, Vita-A-Kombi 3, and Karin Herzog Mild Scrub are particularly effective in addressing overactive sebum production, something which often concerns women with dark skin. It’s often the root cause that leads to a set of very stubborn skin problems including clogged and/or infected pores, skin discoloration and ingrown hairs.
Let’s start with overactive sebum production. Because darker skin tones are prone to increased sebaceous activity, Vita-A-Kombi 2, with 2% oxygen concentration, delivers nutrients directly to cells, optimizing skin function and restoring sebum production to a normal, healthy level.
When emergencies such as breakouts strike, Vita-A-Kombi 3, a 3% oxygen concentration, acts as a fast and effective acne zapper. Regular use of Karin Herzog Mild Scrub gently removes dry blockages from pores, allowing them to breathe normally and at the same time, create a route for the penetration of Vita-A-Kombi 2.
Discoloration happens when melanocytes (the same melanin producing cells that keep dark skin younger looking) occasionally spin out of control and produce dark spots and uneven skin tones. Couple this with a delay in the natural turnover of cells and skin can begin to appear dull and feel course and rough. Vita-A-Kombi 3 effectively spot treats hyper-pigmentation aided by Mild Scrub that lifts dead cells, thus restoring radiance to the skin.
Ingrown hairs are very annoying. Instead of growing straight out of the follicle, often a hair will curl back under the skin’s surface. When a hair becomes trapped this way, it leads to inflammation and causes a protruding lump. Mild Scrub exfoliates the skin’s surface and lifts away dead cells that can trap hairs, while enhancing the faster-acting penetration of Vita-A-Kombi products.
Karin Herzog holds the global patent for encapsulating oxygen into emulsions. That’s the key to their gentle treatments, and the methodology that makes then highly effective for aiding darker skin by stimulating cell growth, maximizing skin function and soothing the epidermis.
