It works on the same premise as most of their other products – increase moisture retention in the skin, and collagen production (two of the main cogs in any effective skin care regimen). The ‘face mask’ actually comes off of a Kiehls silk’n’face roller that allows for an individual to apply the product on their face, and then leave it on for up to five minutes to allow the active ingredients to penetrate into the skin. Here are some of the main active ingredients found in this particular product.
Collagen
This is a natural protein found throughout our bodies. It helps keep us healthy and keeps our skin smooth and supple. Collagen is made naturally by our bodies, but as we get older, our bodies stop producing enough on its own. Silk’n Face FX stimulate your body to make more collagen naturally to help smooth the wrinkles on your skin.
Silk
This natural element is used to help silk’n’face’ users blend better with their skin tone. It is a strong, natural emollient that can easily soothe and soften your skin, without clogging pores or causing acne or irritation. This ingredient is especially helpful after washing, because it leaves your skin feeling much softer and smoother than before.
Aloe Vera
Famous for its ability to ease burns and scrapes, but also used to help keep the skin flexible and moisturized. Applying a gel around the sensitive areas of your face before bed can help keep your skin looking younger and more supple through the night.
Vitamin E
This is a powerful antioxidant used in many skincare products. But, Vitamin E has the unique ability to stop harmful free radicals from damaging skin. Free radicals are released into the air we breathe and cause premature aging of the skin through oxidation. They break down our healthy cells, leaving us with a duller complexion and an aged appearance. By keeping them away, Vitamin E helps us to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on our skin.
Avocado Oil
This natural oil is the closest thing to the skin’s own oil that is available. It is an effective moisturizer and can gently draw out the look of wrinkles on your skin, keeping your youthful appearance. But, avoid using it if you have dry or broken skin.
Shea Butter
This is another wonderful natural ingredient. It has healing properties, keeps moisture in the skin, and acts as an antioxidant, fighting against the effects of age. It can be used topically or taken orally, depending on how well you’ve tolerated it in the past.
Last Words
The device works best when it’s being used regularly. If you use it once every couple of weeks, you’ll only notice positive changes on a surface level. However, if you use it on a daily basis, you will see visible effects beginning to show. That’s why it is best to use it on a daily basis for the best results.
