Taneesa Williamson Are your clients complaining of dullness and dehydration as the seasons shift? Here is your solution.
As the seasons shift and cooler temperatures settle in, skin often experiences increased dryness, dullness, and uneven tone. One powerhouse ingredient that should be on every skin professional’s radar this autumn is lycopene. This potent antioxidant, derived from red and white tomatoes, plays a crucial role in combating oxidative stress and maintaining skin clarity and radiance during seasonal transitions.
The Power of Lycopene for Skin Renewal
Lycopene is a natural antioxidant that protects skin from environmental aggressors, such as UV exposure and pollution, which contribute to pigmentation, uneven tone, and premature ageing. By neutralising free radicals, lycopene assists in reducing the appearance of sunspots, freckles, and other pigmentation concerns that may have developed over summer.
Additionally, lycopene supports collagen synthesis and cell turnover, making it an ideal ingredient for autumn when skin requires extra nourishment. When combined with AHAs and PHAs, it promotes gentle exfoliation and enhances the skin’s natural glow while refining texture.
Lycopene in Professional Skincare: The Ella Baché Approach
As a brand that has long championed the power of antioxidants in skincare, Ella Baché has incorporated lycopene into its Neobright Correcting Night Cream, a formula designed to brighten and refine skin overnight.
Featuring a blend of red and white tomato antioxidants, AHAs, and PHAs, this advanced formulation works to smooth and even skin tone while enhancing natural radiance. When combined with the broader Neobright Skin Solution, including the Correcting Day Cream and Serum, aesthetic professionals can offer a targeted approach to managing pigmentation and dullness.
Gina Cook from Ella Bache explains:
Tomato extract has been used within the Ella Bache range for over 70 years, in fact one of our first formulations – “Crème Tomate” was created by Madame Bache. It is used to balance the skin while soothing and calming. It is classified as a cult favourite – still one of our most popular products.
Lycopene is a potent antioxidant derived from Tomatoes – this nutrient rich ingredient has many effects that contribute to healthy skin. At Ella Bache we have lycopene extracted from a group of specially grown tomatoes – a rare white tomato and a group of red tomatoes that are particularly rich in lycopene.
Lycopene has many benefits to the skin:
- Lycopene is effective in reversing the damage from UV exposure with its ability to repair skin function and supress the cause of pigmentation and skin discolouration.
- It offers excellent anti-ageing benefits as it protects the skin from being damaged with its powerful antioxidant capabilities. As we age our skin is more vulnerable to environmental damage – combining lycopene into your skin solution will keep it bright and resilient.
- Tomatoes offer brightening qualities that keep the skin glowing and luminous
