![]() There is also some promising, but as yet not in-vivo (done on real people), research that soybean extract can stimulate both elastin and collagen synthesis and thus lead to healthier, younger-looking skin. Topical estrogen is known to decrease skin thinning and collagen loss and soy might be able to do the same, especially during and after menopause when natural estrogen levels run low. These isoflavones are also the ones that make soy a phytoestrogen, meaning they have a (weak) estrogenic effect. Genistein is also proven to inhibit UV induced redness in human skin. The most famous and bioactive flavonoids in soybeans are the isoflavones called genistein and diadzein that have potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. This is useful for most pigmentation situations but, if you have melasma, soy is not for you as melasma is estrogen-mediated and soy is a well-known phytoestrogen. We heartsters – which AVEENO® products has earned a spot in your collection? Tell me in the comments.Regarding skin pigmentation, the soybean extract works by hindering melanosome transfer, meaning it blocks the melanin pigment from traveling up to the surface of the skin and becoming visible there. In other words, it’s happily earned a spot on my vanity. It doesn’t feel heavy or greasy at all, as it soaks in instantly. Instead, those natural diffusers makes my skin look better. The scent?

What a joy that I recently discovered a drugstore selection that I wasn’t just wearing begrudgingly, but that I actually liked! Enter Aveeno® Positively Radiant® Daily Moisturizer SPF 15. So began the journey of finding a daily moisturizer with SPF that I would wear. Like a front door that hadn’t been weatherproofed and had been out in the sun too long. My skin had started to look weathered, for lack of a better word. A facialist asked me what number sunscreen I wore, to which I mumbled “Well, I don’t really like sunscreen…I just (insert whatever lame excuse I conjured up at that moment.)” To which she replied “Your skin would be in much better shape if you did.”īut, she was right. I’ll never forgot the moment I realized my luck had run out. But I skated by without it for many years. Chalk it up to good genes, or maybe youth. But for years, I just didn’t like it the scent, the haze it left on my skin, the way it felt. I know it helps to prevent wrinkles, skin discoloration and worse.
