When you look for anti-aging products, what do you look for? It’s important to know the components of a good anti-aging product, whether it is a serum or a moisturizer.  If you have read any of my earlier posts you already know that I am not all that enthusiastic about cleansers that contain anti-aging ingredients, why pay the extra money for something that is on your skin such a short time and rinsed away? Active ingredients need to stay on your skin a while to do their work. And that just doesn’t happen with a cleanser. Off it all goes down the drain….

So, 5 things. 5 things that are not negotiable when it comes to ingredients in your anti-aging routine. This is important stuff, because each of these 5 things does a different job. And we need all those jobs done to maintain the complexion we all strive for. Read the rest of this entry »

By now most of you know that vitamin C is an antioxidant and a great anti-aging ingredient. It pops up in products and formulations of all types. Personally I feel C does it’s best work in serums. Facial washes contain C but I am of the belief that a facial wash isn’t on your skin long enough to allow the vitamin C to do much of anything, you rinse it off, right? So, maybe you want to rethink how you are applying vitamin C.

As I said, my favorite is in a serum. But many moisturizers contain vitamin C as well. The most important thing to remember about vitamin C when making your choice is packaging. Yes, that might be a really pretty jar to put on your vanity but, what about the light and oxygen it is exposed to every single time you use it? The vitamin C can degrade and/or lose potency in as little as a week. And that is money not well spent. Degraded vitamin C won’t do a thing for anti-aging your face. Sorry, but true. So look for pump bottles and tubes…. OK? Read the rest of this entry »

Maybe you already know what Galvanic is but for those of you who don’t, its pure magic. No kidding! Nothing else can give you the result of Galvanic without shots, pain or invasive procedure.

Galvanic is  electric current that is applied to the skin.  Galvanic works on the principle of like charges repelling each other. A product that contains a negative ion will be pushed into the skin by a negative electric current. And a positively charged product will be pushed into the skin by a positive current.

Galvanic also has the ability to stimulate the circulation of oxygen and blood in the facial skin supplying an elevated level of nourishment. Skin care specialists have been using Galvanic for over 50 years in facial services. Galvanic also creates an environment in the skin that allows for an incredible  increase in the  efficacy of the skin care products you use after the treatment Neat, huh?

A product line that has recently come to my attention is Dermajuv. When  I keep seeing a particular product being mentioned on news programs, in popular women’s magazines ( Everyday, Allure, Woman’s Day, Vogue, Lucky) and then Oprah spotlights it in a segment on wrinkle treatments, well I just have to take a look! Does tend to pique one’s interest, does it not? Read the rest of this entry »

A testimonial from Diana D! I posted her photo earlier on her treatment, but here is her actual testimonial! She mentions “photos”, I have only the one but it speaks for itself!

“I was on contract with the company to participate in the TFEU 90 day clinical study. I began around the first of September and ended the trial at the end of November.

These photos were taken December 12th. I used specific products from the System (face wash, mist, and the spf 15 moisturizer) on both sides of my face.

On the right side of my face, I used the direct wave spa twice a week and the TFEU morning and night. While the disappearance of the wrinkles was really exciting what I was most thrilled about was the fact that my skin feels twice
as thick on the treated side.

I love putting my makeup on that side of my face! I am 52 and the one side of my face reminds me of how my skin looked in my 30′s.

From a scientific standpoint …my skin was undergoing
a transformative process call remodeling. To best understand this, think
about a bridge with all the supporting struts that collapsed.

The TFEU stimulated my skin to start producing elastin and collagen again. This made the structural support of my skin come back.

The result was that many of the smaller scars and depressions from acne on my chin had diminished or disappeared. The first skin to show the real difference was around the eyes- and that took a full 2.5 weeks. The rest of my face seemed to start to firm up between the 3rd and 4th week.”
