Estheticians mostly use an ionic wand while performing a procedure but now it is possible to enhance the skincare routine with this tool at home.
Ionic technology is an interesting feature because it helps open the pores and by that, allows the ingredients on the cosmetics to be more powerful and with more visible results after use. Also, it has the potential to cause skin tightening, brightening, and depuffing due to boosting microcirculation.
One very interesting option in the market is the Georgia Louise C+- Pure Ampoule with Ionic Wand. It comes with an ampoules serum formulation packed in a unique bottle that releases pure Vitamin C powder into the serum for immediate and fresh use. The serum formulation also contains ingredients like Hydroxydecyl Ubiquinone (a form of CoQ10 that protects skin against free radicals and environmental damage), Glutathione (a combination of three amino acids that helps brighten and naturally fade dark spots), Tranexamic Acid (an amino acid derived from lysine to brighten and prevent moisture loss), and Vitamin E.
After that, the application of the ionic wand will make the negatively charged ions—also known as galvanic current— repel the negatively charged Vitamin C serum into the skin’s positively charged pores, which can lead to skin brightening, treatment of pigmentations, protection against UVA and UVB and making the skin firmer, boosting collagen production.
Other similar devices, like the Swiss Botany Ionic Lift Wand, are also available in the market and can be used with products from the same brand or what you already have at home, complementing your skincare routine.
