SKIN JUST WANTS TO HAVE FUN
Amanda Macino, Director of Education at Valmont North America, knows you don’t always have to take your skin care routine so seriously.
“A fun new anti-aging trick is using retinol alternatives,” she told The US Sun.
“Everyone loves how retinol works – reducing lines and wrinkles, boosting collagen production, etc. – but they hate the side effects: sun sensitivity and easily irritated and inflamed skin,” she adds.
“Now that new research is coming to market, there are many ingredients available that offer the same – and sometimes better – benefits as retinol, but without all the harmful side effects.”
Considering that Valmont has been a pioneer in Swiss mobile cosmetics for forty years, it is no wonder that they are always on top of the trends.
The brand stands out mainly for its anti-aging treatments.
If you want to fight wrinkles and ditch retinol at the same time, she recommends using Valmont’s V-Lift Cream, which contains 100% natural bakuchiol.
Macino praised the ingredient, which she said is known for its “natural anti-wrinkle properties.”

She also noted that bakuchiol has been shown to exceed the established benefits of retinol.
“It’s better tolerated by the skin,” she said.
When it comes to combating frown lines, you need to strip your beauty routine back to the basics.
Forget added chemicals: bakuchiol is naturally extracted from the Babchi plant.
The plant grows mainly in tropical areas and is known for its medicinal properties.
THE SUN IS SHINING, SPF IS IN THE BAG
She also gives tips to prevent premature aging.
“We all know that limiting sun exposure can significantly preserve the youthfulness of the skin,” she said.
To combat the sun’s harmful rays while winding the clock, she has a skin-saving solution.
“It is possible to have a good SPF that also provides anti-aging benefits,” she said.
Macino is a fan of Valmont’s Daily Veil Moisturizing Face Fluid SPF 30, which remains popular for its texture.
She explained that the product is being praised for its benefits of ‘improving the skin barrier’.
This award-winning sunscreen is transparent and ideal for dry skin.
