🐟 Did You Know? Astaxanthin: The (Almost) Secret Antioxidant for Glowing Skin!
Today, we’re revealing a mysterious, ultra-rare ingredient with incredible anti-aging powers… A natural active that smooths the skin, boosts hydration, and even offers internal UV protection.
Drumroll… 🥁 It’s astaxanthin! (No, this is not an April Fool’s joke 😆)
💡 What is it?
Astaxanthin is a natural pigment (a carotenoid) found in microalgae. It’s what gives salmon, shrimp, and flamingos their pink color! And guess what? It has amazing benefits for the skin.
✅ Powerful Antioxidant → 6000x stronger than Vitamin C! It fights oxidative stress and prevents skin aging.
✅ Boosts Hydration → Improves skin elasticity and softness.
✅ Protects Against UV Damage → Reduces sun-induced skin damage and prevents hyperpigmentation.
👀Where to find it?
In certain dietary supplements.
In skincare oils and creams enriched with astaxanthin.
🔍 Our take:
This underrated powerhouse deserves more attention—especially as the sun makes its comeback!

📰 Skincare News: The Sun is Back – Should You Start Using Sunscreen Again?
With spring’s arrival, the days are getting longer, the sun is peeking through… and many wonder if it’s time to bring sunscreen back into their routine.
Spoiler alert: The answer is YES.
Why?
🌞 UV rays are present all year round, even on cloudy days.
🌞 Spring is deceiving—while it may not feel scorching hot yet, UV rays are still active and can cause damage.
🌞 Anti-aging prevention: 80% of skin aging is linked to sun exposure.
Which sunscreen should you use?
👉 SPF 30 minimum for daily use (SPF 50 for very fair or hyperpigmentation-prone skin).
👉 Mineral or chemical filters, depending on your preference.
👉 Lightweight, non-comedogenic textures for better absorption.
🔍 Skinvestment Tip: Apply your SPF every morning—don’t forget your neck, ears, and hands!
