#WhatsInMyGlo: Matmarine™

If you’re serious about skincare then you understand the importance of knowing what’s in your products. There’s nothing worse than realizing months into a regimen that you’ve been using the wrong products for your individual skin type. For those of you who skew on the oily side, mattifying products are essential to your routine. They help combat your excess oil whether it’s an all day issue or a late afternoon shine.

If you’ve been searching without success for the perfect mattifying ingredient, take a look at Matmarine™. This ingredient incorporates biotechnology and is formulated especially for our oily and combination clients- it works by reducing the amount of excess sebum produced to help keep oil under control. Sebum, otherwise known as the oily substance skin produces that contributes to visible shine, does have its purpose. Without it, skin is dry and dehydrated, which can cause fine lines and wrinkles. With too much, skin can be overly oily and shiny, leading to acne and clogged pores.

What’s great about Matmarine™ is that it reduces sebum--not rids it--from the skin. This results in visibly decreased pores and reduced shininess without any dryness. With continued use, Matmarine™ can even help improve skin firmness through type I collagen synthesis.  

Curious where Matmarine™ comes from? It’s a fermented bacteria strain from Antarctica! Curious which Glo Skin Beauty products contain Matmarine™? Check out our newest toner, Balancing Mist.
