LUCID

Product innovation is critical in staying ahead of the curve when it comes to skin care and evolving consumer needs. Annique Rooibos has always been at the forefront of skin care product development. We were the first company in the world to introduce Rooibos into beauty products and over the years introduced many novel concepts, like the first vitamin skin spray in SA (Liquid Skin Nutrition) and the first to introduce the ground-breaking BONT-L peptide into our Bo-Serum.

Annique Rooibos Lucid range of daily skin care products for dry and mature skin will ensure that your skin becomes beaming, radiant and bright. Dry, dehydrated, and mature skin requires extra care to restore and retain the skin’s moisture content.

Signs to look out for to determine if you have dry/ dehydrated skin include:

  • Almost invisible pores
  • Dull, rough complexion
  • Red patches
  • Your skin is less elastic or bouncy than it used to be
  • More visible lines
  • A general dry or tight feeling
  • Uneven skin complexion
  • Lack of plumpness

With the Lucid skin care range for dry skin, we have combined three active ingredients, namely Green Rooibos, probiotics and AquaVital+. This combination of active ingredients is gentle on skin, yet effectively helps moisturise and condition dry, dehydrated, and mature skin.

Innovative Active Ingredients:

1. Green Rooibos

Contains much more antioxidants than fermented Rooibos and is a powerful anti-ageing ingredient for skin care formulas. It has free-radical-quenching abilities that help to protect skin and preserve a more youthful look.

Rooibos is also known to have anti-viral, anti-fungal, and antibacterial properties, making it perfect for those with acne, eczema, psoriasis, and other difficult skin conditions. Rooibos is known to be hypoallergenic, helping to calm skin and soothe redness, itching and rashes.

2. Pre- and probiotics

What are Probiotics?

Probiotics are an ever-changing group of microorganisms that live within and on the surface of our bodies. There are trillions of them. Every person has their own distinctive combination of organisms, which is known as the microbiome. We are very familiar with how probiotics in our digestive system can be beneficial for overall health and the incredible benefits they can provide. But did you know you also have your own unique ‘family‘ of probiotics that live in and on your skin?;

Why are Probiotics Important for Healthy Skin?

Probiotics in skin care are set to become the next wave of innovations emerging in the beauty industry. The surface of the skin is a multifaceted environment and probiotics play a crucial role in its balance. Over the past decade or so, scientists have uncovered a myriad of benefits that probiotics can have on your skin, including strengthening the skin’s barrier in invading bacteria and balancing the skin’s pH.

Probiotics help calm and comfort skin to instantly relieve the dry, tight, bothered sensations that come with irritation. They soothe and balance your skin just like probiotics can do for your stomach.

How Probiotics Benefit Skin?

Only recently have researchers started to understand the effect that probiotics have for acne and other skin conditions.

The goal of probiotics in skin care is to restore the delicate balance that allows good bacteria to flourish, so the skin can keep itself in top shape.

Stabilising the skin’s microbiome helps:

  • Strengthen the surface of the skin against environmental invaders
  • Enhance the skin’s ability to become hydrated and stay that way
  • Reduce factors that trigger sensitive, red skin
  • Improve dryness, including a tight and uncomfortable skin
  • Restore a healthy pH to the skin

 

Probiotics are used in Lucid:

We have incorporated two Lactobacillus strains of probiotics into the Lucid range. It helps calm and comfort skin to relieve the tight, dry, bothered sensations that come with irritation. Yes, lactobacillus soothes and balances your skin just like probiotics can do for your stomach.

Important: Probiotics work best when combined with prebiotics – to fuel the growth of probiotics. The new Lucid range also includes a prebiotic (oligosaccharide). Prebiotics serves as food for probiotics, helping them multiply.

Did You Know?

As probiotics break down on the skin’s surface, they create postbiotics. These include hyaluronic acid, peptides and vitamins, which reduce signs of ageing, boost hydration, and improve skin tone. It’s the synergy between these ‘biotics’ that makes all the difference when it comes to probiotic skin care.

The Lucid range encompasses all of the above.

3. AquaVital+

AquaVital+ creates a “moisture reservoir” in the skin, and is derived from a different natural source.

What is AquaVital+?

AquaVital+ is a sophisticated, yet gentle plant moisturising complex extracted from the seeds of a Peruvian plant called Tara (Caesalpinia Spinosa). It grows in a very dry mountain climate, in the Andes, in which had to adapt to the surrounding conditions of rapid drying to survive, by developing an internal system to prevent rapid water loss.

It contains valuable molecules called galactomannans (up to 80%), that moisturise the skin by creating a protective film that prevents the rapid evaporation of water.

This advanced moisturising ingredient captures and retains water and absorbs it into the skin in both an immediate and long-lasting way to enhance your skin’s appearance and texture.

AqueVital+ is not just great for providing moisture to the skin, but also a way to strengthen the skin’s overall health at all levels.

How does AquaVital+ work?

  • Immediately and lastingly improves the level of hydration of the stratum corneum (the outermost layer of the skin).
  • Prevents transdermal water loss.
  • The skin gains a healthy glow, elasticity and softness.
  • In a sensory evaluation, 83% said they had softer skin, 67% said they had more moisturised skin.
SENSITIV

Across the world, millions of people perceive their skin as being sensitive and these numbers are growing. Based on months of research, Annique presents to you Sensitìv, the Rooibos solution for sensitive skin, the solution to your sensitive skin care concerns.

Sensitive skin and sensitised skin exhibit the same symptoms and triggers, so it may be difficult to distinguish between the two. Understanding the differences could help you understand this skin care challenge and help you provide the best solution to your customer.

Include Forever Healthy products such as OptiFlora, Zerotox, OptiMega

Sensitive skin

    • Sensitive skin is caused by a genetic predisposition (DNA). You are born with it!
    • These people are prone to blushing, asthma and allergies.
    • It is not limited to fair or red-haired individuals. It is now evident that darker skin tones can also have sensitive skin.
    • Sensitive skin is prone to many skin conditions like:
      1. Psoriasis
      2. Rosacea
      3. Acne
      4. Eczema
      5. Atopic dermatitis or Seborrheic dermatitis

Sensitised skin

Sensitised skin is a growing concern worldwide that affects people regardless of race, colour or age.

It can be caused by:

      1. exposure to environmental influences, such as pollution and UV rays from the sun
      2. drastic changes in climate
      3. medication
      4. diet
      5. lifestyle: lack of sleep, stress, smoking, improper skin care regimes.

Sensitive and Sensitised skin – both result in a weakness in the skin’s protective outer layer (epidermal lipid barrier)

HYDRAFINE

The Hydrafine range is the ultimate daily facial skin care range for normal and combination skin types. This exceptional range provides the perfect balance of moisture for normal and combination skin, and will leave yours refined and beautiful.

The word “hydra” has its origin in the word “hydration” and it means to restore moisture, to water or to drench your skin. The word “fine”, when linked to the word “refine”, means to go back to its beautiful or delicate state. Hydrafine embodies delicate and fine texture and aims to provide you with both.

This range includes three state-of-the-art intelligent active ingredients that have been carefully researched and selected to bring the ultimate solution for normal/ combination skin.

GREEN ROOIBOS EXTRACT, containing significantly more antioxidants than fermented Rooibos, has powerful anti-ageing properties that help protect the skin, giving a more youthful look.

MARINEMATT, a sophisticated extract produced by marine plankton isolated and harvested from the temperate waters of the Aber-Wrac’h on the Northern coast of Brittany, France. An Aber, or estuary, is a river valley that is flooded by the sea. They provide a rich, varied and unique ecosystem in which organisms develop is both sea and fresh water simultaneously.

Marinematt, derived from marine biotechnology, has no land-based equivalent and represents a new and original molecule with unrivalled cellular activation properties.

This is truly a wonder ingredient from the sea as Marinematt has a unique structure which produces an immediate mattifying agent, absorbing excess sebum on the surface of the skin. It is astonishingly light and respects oily and combination skin. The result is an overall reduction in shine on the forehead, cheeks, and chin within one hour of using the Hydrafine products. Marinematt has been proved through clinical tests to have a remarkable ability to reduce shine, while maintaining hydration levels in the skin, rendering it a highly intelligent active ingredient.

MOISTBALANCE, a blend of sophisticated natural skin moisturisers, rebalances the hydration status of the skin, replenishing the skin’s moisture levels, particularly on the dry cheek areas.
