What’s the difference between the Defense Barrier and the Environmental Barrier?

The Defense Barrier is more about physically stopping external particles (like pollution particles, dust and other impurities) from getting into skin. By doing so, the Defense Barrier helps to prevent the onset of irritation. The Environmental Barrier is focused on reducing the effects of environmental aggressors that penetrate into skin’s surface, such as UVA and UVB rays, IR and blue light, and free radicals.

What is oxidative damage?

Free radicals are a type of molecule that aggressively reacts with other molecules. They are also known as “oxidants” because they quickly oxidize other molecules. That means they steal an oxygen atom and affect the chemical structure of the original molecule – which can be referred to as “oxidative damage.” For everyday examples of oxidative damage, think about shiny metal turning to rust, or a juicy bright apple turning brown.

Within skin, oxidative damage is considered one of the single most important causes of unhealthier skin and the appearance of premature signs of aging. The free radical molecules wreak havoc on all of skin’s functions. And while skin has its own defense mechanisms against oxidative damage, the additional help you can provide with your skin care can make a dramatic difference for visibly healthy skin.

What is micro-dust (PM 2.5)?

Micro-dust, also known as PM 2.5, refers to extremely fine particles of airborne pollution that can land on skin, where they can be difficult to remove due to their very small size. PM stands for “particulate matter,” and 2.5 refers to particles that are 2.5 microns in size — about 20 times smaller than the width of a human hair. In cities and other environments with high pollution, toxic micro-dust is regarded as a significant culprit in prematurely aging skin’s appearance. Lingering micro-dust can leave skin looking dry, dull and lifeless.

What is "glass-like” or “glassy” skin?

Glass-like skin describes skin that has the appearance of glass. Glass-like skin is smooth and luminous, and it appears even-toned with reduced-looking pores. Like “dewy” skin, glass-like skin aims for moisturized skin that has an almost transparent complexion and a youthful glow.

What is crepey skin?

Crepey skin is thin and looks finely wrinkled, like crepe paper. It may also sag or feel loose. While crepey skin is similar to common wrinkles in many ways, the condition tends to impact larger areas and the skin feels noticeably more fragile and thin.

Can I use just one Artistry Skin Nutrition product?

Of course! Each product has been shown to be highly effective on its own. However, for best results from addressing all 5 key skin nutritional requirements, we encourage customers to find the complete Artistry Skin Nutrition regimen ideal for them (cleanser/toner/moisturizer), and to use the products as directed.

What is the use-up rate of Artistry Skin Nutrition skincare?

Is Artistry Skin Nutrition skincare compatible with other Artistry products?

Yes, the Artistry Skin Nutrition formulas were created to be aesthetically compatible with other Artistry products.

How do I use Artistry Intensive Skincare products with Artistry Skin Nutrition skincare?

Due to the advanced nature of the Artistry Skin Nutrition formulas, it is recommended that you use your complete regimen for at least one week before you add any Intensive Skincare formulas. Then, depending on your perceived skin sensitivity, consider adding one Intensive Skincare product at a time, always allowing at least one week of use before adding another product. You may alter the usage and frequency of Artistry Skin Nutrition and Intensive products such as one during the day and the other at night, or alternate days if you experience any discomfort with combined use.
