The Benefits of Copper on the Skin
Copper is the new craze in the beauty world, and it's all thanks to its rejuvenating and anti-ageing properties.
As our brand of the month, we have teamed up with Copper experts Iluminage, to delve deeper into the science behind the brand, and just what makes this shiny mineral so essential in our beauty routines.
Why is Copper good for the skin?
Copper is a well known mineral, but often overlooked when it comes to skincare. We all know that Zinc and Magnesium are absolutely essential to keeping your complexion healthy, but copper is also a little miracle worker that needs more spotlight attention.
Aiding in the production of both Collagen and Elastin, copper helps to keep your skin youthful, strong and healthy. Found naturally in your skin's own cells, it promotes the natural growth of proteins, which are the building blocks of your skin. This helps your complexion to stay firm and taut, making it a great ingredient to use if you have mature skin.
