I was recently selected by TRUST Beauty to experience their plant-based skin care line, and it could not have come at a better time. I’ve recently bounced around from San Diego’s dry crisp fall weather to sunny balmy Florida and my aging combination skin doesn’t know what’s up!

I have always believed that good skin care is an investment in both time and money, and even remind (nag?) my teen daughter that proper skin care starts when you’re young. I also understand that everything I put on my skin is absorbed into my system which is why the TRUST Beauty products were so fascinating to me.

TRUST BEAUTY has identified key adaptogen ingredients for skincare that possess reparative properties, such as the ability to rejuvenate skin suffering from cellular breakdown caused by the environment and external stressors. These adaptogens aren’t funky lab created chemical monsters – they are basically very hearty herbs that have been used as herbal medicine for centuries and help your skin adapt to it’s surroundings.

KEY INGREDIENT COMPLEX:

LACTOBACILLUS AND PANAX GINSENG ROOT EXTRACT

ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL ANTI-OXIDANTS THAT HELPS MAINTAIN ELASTICITY OF THE SKIN WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY ADAPTING TO THE SKIN’S MICRO ENVIRONMENT TO HELP REDUCE INFLAMMATION THAT MAY CAUSE PREMATURE AGING.

RHODIOLA ROSEA

A PLANT THAT HAS ADAPTED TO VERY HARSH ENVIRONMENTS IN THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS, AND CENTRAL ASIA THAT IS KNOWN FOR IT REVITALIZING PROPERTIES. IT HELPS THE SKIN RECOVER FROM STRESS AND TO PROVIDE AN INSTANT REFRESHING

MORE SCIENCE

I’m a nerd and need to understand cause and effect of just about everything. So, I wanted to know how adaptogens actually interact with my body.

*Clinical studies suggest that adaptogens activate adrenal glands through the body’s endocrine system to regulate hormones such as cortisol. A well-balanced endocrine system, along with the antioxidant-rich ingredients in adaptogens, maintains healthy blood circulation—a key factor in anti-aging—and is crucial for the skin to combat inflammation, bacterial impurity and oxidative stress. Other findings have shown that the use of adaptogens can normalize blood sugar levels, supporting the production of collagen and elastin, as well as healthy cell growth.
