Spin trap… Never heard of it? Well, you should, considering it is being heralded at the anti-ageing phenomenon skincare lovers need to get their hands on.
“Spin trap certainly isn’t a new development in the skincare sphere, however it is only in recent years that it has been recognised for its unmistakable anti-ageing powers. Spin trap is a Nobel prize-winning antioxidant compound that is different from every other type of normal antioxidant we see promoted in our moisturisers, eye creams and face masks,” DRSQ Skincare founder and cosmetic physician, Dr Qutub said.
Dr Saba Qutub is a registered medical practitioner and cosmetic physician practicing in Australia, as well as an author, health coach and a keynote speaker. She is the founder of DRSQ Skincare, as well as the founding director of award winning Geelong-based holistic health practice, Armstrong Health.
According to Dr Qutub, she has heard the term spin trap floating around skincare circles more and more over recent months. In order to shed more light on the modern day miracle, she has broken down the two main questions people ask when trying to work out what makes it so special.
What exactly is a spin trap?
According to Dr Qutub, a spin trap put simply is an antioxidant compound. However, what differs it to any type of normal antioxidant as it not only neutralises free radicals, it is also able to convert them into cellular energy.
“Spin trap is commonly referred to as intelligent antioxidants because of the different way it interacts with free radicals. Spin trap captures free radicals, and transform them into useful oxygen, which is then transported back to the respiratory system where they can be put back to the constructive work it is intended to do,” Dr Qutub added.
“In order to distinguish antioxidants from spin trap; antioxidants destructively deal with free radicals, while spin traps constructively deal with them. Antioxidants chemically react with free radicals to convert rogue oxygen molecules into water, whereas, spin trap captures oxygen and plugs them back into their intended goal of tissue respiration.”
Why put spin trap in skincare products?
“Spin trap has actually been around within the skin care industry for quite sometime. The tissue respiration properties of spin trap was recognised by scientists as a potential anti-ageing agent that could be introduced into skincare lines,” Dr Qutub said.
It is now proven that spin trap plays a significant role in skin rejuvenation and repair. The fighting free radical characteristics of spin trap directly results in a reduction in premature ageing, as well as fine lines and wrinkles.”
Dr Qutub has incorporated its powerful properties in her I-Magic 3D Eye Serum. This eye serum has quickly become the product that DRSQ Skincare finds the most challenging to keep in-stock on their online site.
“My I-Magic 3D Eye Serum contains Phenyl t-Butylnitrone, a specific spin trap that is a highly active oxygen and nitrogen complex, which deeply hydrates the skin and restores volume. It targets all major areas of skin ageing around the delicate eye area, such as fine lines, wrinkles, loss of elasticity, dark circles, inflammation and dryness,” Dr Qutub explained.
“Adding the ultimate intelligent antioxidant into DRSQ’s I-Magic 3D Eye Serum was a no brainer, as it firms and rejuvenates the delicate under eye area giving it new radiance and luminosity. Fine lines and wrinkles are reduced, and the eye area looks deeply nourished, rejuvenated and radiant.
“Spin trap also protects skin from Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) that are found in pollution and corrects the damage caused to healthy skin from imbalanced molecules. The delicate eye area is lubricated and hydrated with volume restored, and accelerated ageing is reversed and pathways for future damage are terminated.”
DRSQ Skincare’s mission is to provide radiant and luminous skin by incorporating the very best of advanced science and natural wonders. Founded in 2017 by Dr Qutub, the business is 100 percent Australian owned and operated company, using solely highly effective active ingredients which are free from harmful chemicals, artificial colours, synthetic fragrance and animal testing.
