YOU can now get all of the beauty benefits available without any of the bad stuff, according to a skincare pro.
She shares her biggest tips for what you should be using – and staying clear of – if you want a clearer complexion.
Amanda Macino, Director of Training for Valmont North America, knows that you don’t always have to be so serious when it comes to your skincare routine.
“A fun new anti-aging hack is using retinol-alternatives,” she told The U.S. Sun.
“Everyone loves what retinol does – reducing lines and wrinkles, boosting collagen production, etc – but hates the side effects: sensitivities to sun, easily irritated and inflamed skin,” she added.
“Now, with new research on the market, there are many ingredients out there that are offering the same – and sometimes better – benefits as retinol but without all of the harmful side effects.”
Considering Valmont has been a pioneer in Swiss cellular cosmetics for the last four decades, it’s no wonder she is always on top of the trends.
The brand especially stands out for its anti-aging treatments.
If you want to get rid of wrinkles while weaning yourself off of retinol, she suggests using Valmont’s V-Lift Cream which features 100% natural bakuchiol.
Macino praised the ingredient which she says is known for its “natural anti-wrinkle properties.”
She also noted how bakuchiol has already been shown to surpass the established benefits of retinol.
“It has a better skin tolerance,” she said.
When it comes to fighting frown lines, you just have to take your beauty routine back to the basics.
Forget added chemicals – bakuchiol is naturally derived from the Babchi plant.
The plant is grown in mostly tropical environments and is known to have medicinal elements.
She also has tips for preventing premature aging.
“Limiting sun exposure can greatly preserve the youthfulness of the skin as we all know,” she said.

To combat the sun’s harmful rays while rewinding the clock, she has one skin-saving solution.
“It is possible to have a good SPF that also offers anti-aging benefits,” she said.
Macino is a fan of Valmont’s Daily Veil Moisturizing Face Fluid SPF 30, which remains a popular buy due its texture.
She explained how the product is hailed for its “skin barrier improving” benefits.
The award-winning sunscreen goes on sheer and is ideal for dry skin.
