The Benefits of Airless Packaging for Skin Care

12 Jan

 

In recent years, airless packaging has become wildly popular. This is because airless packaging has three distinct benefits when compared to products that come in a jar:

  • Airless Packaging Keeps Skin Care Products Fresh Longer. Because the products have zero exposure to air, they can stay fresh almost three times longer! In addition, the ingredients are preserved and remain active and at their highest concentration. As a comparison — this is similar to vacuum sealing food before putting it in the freezer; the lack of air preserves the food longer.
  • Airless Packaging Prevents Contamination. With skin care products in a jar, you have to put your fingers in the jar to apply the product. This causes the bacteria and germs from our fingers to penetrate the product, which can compromise it over time. With airless containers, your fingers can not contaminate the products.
  • Airless Packaging Prevents Spills. Airless packaging is leak proof and tamper proof. This makes it much easier to ship and travel with.

At Vasseur, freshness and quality are our core values. We’re happy to announce that starting next week Vasseur Skincare will be introducing beautiful, airless packing for all of our skin care treatment products. 

Toner: Why Use it?

9 Dec

Many clients that I meet are unsure as to whether they should be using toner as a part of their skin care regime and how it actually benefits the skin. So, to answer these questions once and for all, here are the 5 main benefits of using toner:

1. Toner gives your skin a dose of moisture before applying your other skin care products

Make sure to only use an alcohol-free toner. Toners that contain alcohol are extremely drying to the skin and should never be used. See Vasseur Skincare’s line of freshly made, alcohol free toners.

2. Toner kills blemish-causing bacteria on the skin

The witch hazel in toner has an inherent disinfectant property, which helps kill bacteria and prevents inflammation that causes acne.

3. Toner supports your skin’s protective barrier

By supplying the skin with essential hydration and nutrients, you repair the skin’s protective barrier making it less sensitive and resistant to environmental damage.

4. Toner enhances the results of your skin care program

Depending on the ingredients used in the toner, they can help calm, control oil, stimulate blood circulation, destroy acne-causing bacteria, provide antioxidant benefits and more.

5. Toner removes drying chlorines and minerals found in tap water

Many chlorine and chemicals are put into tap water to destroy harmful bacteria but they can be dehydrating to the skin. A good toner can remove these harsh chemicals from the skin.

When to Use Toner

  • In the morning and at night, after washing your face
  • Before flying
  • After working out at the gym or running (kills the bacteria/toxins from your sweat)
  • During work to freshen up

The Proper Way to Use Toner

After washing your face, pat it dry and then lightly spray toner over your entire face. Let the toner set – don’t wipe or rub off. Apply your skin care products directly to your damp skin – this will help infuse the moisture into your skin and increase the effectiveness of your skin care products.

As the face of Vasseur Skincare, my very livelihood depends on how my skin looks (you wouldn’t buy skin care from a woman with facial skin sagging down to her waist, would you?) So, I am extremely diligent in taking care of my skin every single day— no matter how sick, tired or busy I am. I’m proud to say that at 56, my skin is in excellent shape. Here is what I do every day to take care of my skin…

Reflections on a Difficult Year

29 Jun

While I don’t normally write on personal topics, this year has been extremely challenging  for the Vasseur family and I want to share the lessons I’ve learned and personally express my deepest gratitude to our caring and loyal customers. 

Vasseur Skincare is a family business. Originally started by me 25 years ago, I am now blessed to count both my son and daughter as dutiful employees. The company that bears our name is the proud centerpiece of our lives.

But in all these years, I had never thought to ask myself — what does a family business do if the family falls apart? Well, in January of this year I was faced with this question. My youngest child, Jameson, was diagnosed with stage 3b testicular cancer. (more…)
