Nu Skin Future Serum… hmm. What’s in it? Where did it come from? Been wondering about that? You probably already know that it contains the proprietary ingredient ageLOC. That is the same active found in the ageLOC Galvanic Facial Gels used with the Galvanic Home Spa.

But what else? I found some great information regarding that. And I am going to share it with you, so here you go….

The technology is licensed to Nu Skin; skin serum on the market

• Deseret News

BYU research has identified a naturally occurring compound that improves skin health, and the university has licensed the technology to Provo-based Nu Skin Enterprises, the $1.3 billion global anti-aging personal care and nutritional products company.

The anti-aging skin product that features the BYU ingredient was launched in October as part of the company’s ageLOC(TM) skin care line. Nu Skin sold $28 million of ageLOC skin care products in the last quarter of 2009.

The little-known molecule, called equol, is derived from plants such as soybeans. Its benefits for skin grew out of earlier work by BYU Professor Edwin Lephart who was testing various compounds from plants for possible impacts on human health. Equol stood out. Read the rest of this entry »

ageLOC Transformation, the new anti-aging system by Nu Skin that attacks the arSuperMarkers (arNOX) for aging. Heard of it right? It’s all over the net, and being reviewed by numerous people on blogs and beauty sites.

Well, the stuff is pretty amazing. I know first hand from my own experience what ageLOC can do for the skin. It out performs any other product I have used for smoothing wrinkles and fine lines, and stimulates the production of collagen deep in the dermal layer of the skin.

I have been using the ageLOC Galvanic Home Spa for quite a while now. I never took before photos of myself, I didn’t know I was going to be so impressed that I would end up offering it here on the blog! Actually, I didn’t even know I was going to have a blog…  Stuff happens. Anyway… keep reading, photos coming up—> Read the rest of this entry »

The arNOX enzyme and it’s role in aging has been something that has popped up in a number of my posts. So has ageLOC and the role it plays in anti-aging and  reducing the activity of the arNOX enzyme. There have been some links in previous posts that help to explain what the  arNOX enzyme does and why we do not want it to do that. Which in a nutshell is; MAKE YOU LOOK OLD.  So not good, right?

Most of what I have presented here on the blog has come directly from my own knowledge of  arNOX and the proprietary ingredient ageLOC by Nu Skin. ageLOC is the the #1 reason the ageLOC Facial Gels are so important to use with the Galvanic Home Spa. The gels are charged with negative and positive ions to cleanse and rejuvenate your skin as it delivers the ageLOC ingredient deep into your skin where it can neutralize arNOX. ageLOC is patented so only Nu Skin products have it.

So when I ran across this article I have quoted below, I just knew I had to share it. It doesn’t come from Nu Skin. And it doesn’t come from me. It is information from a separate source that explains and validates all I have presented here about arNOX and ageLOC. Be sure to check out those references at the bottom. If those don’t resonate as truth, you may be missing out on the best thing that could ever happen to your skin, ageLOC fighting arNOX.

Have You Ever Wondered Why Some People Look Younger Than Their Actual Age?

(HealthNewsDigest.com) – Are you destined to age at the same rate as your mother? After all, you’ve stayed out of the sun and haven’t picked up smoking –both major culprits for environment aging that cause those dreaded age spots and discoloration. And you’re long past making those funny faces given mom’s advice that your face may just stay that way, helping you to avoid those line and wrinkles that come from mechanical aging. But what about biological aging – the things that age you from the inside out?

Scientists have long believed that biological aging results from changes – perhaps linked to hormones or genes – within the body, and it is particularly noticeable in the appearance of your skin. However, until recently, little was known about the actual sources of aging and if they can be slowed.

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? Keep reading…  Plus I’ve got some  videos that demonstrate how to use it. Read the rest of this entry »

Microdermabrasion is an anti-aging and restorative skin care procedure being used by many women. There are good candidates for this treatment and some who should stay way clear of it. In general, this is a great tool for treating aging skin, dark and unwanted pigmentation, acne scarring, blackheads, fine lines or wrinkles, and thickened or dull skin. It is also useful in reducing the appearance of enlarged pores.

Women who have any of the following issues should not consider Microdermabrasion.  Rosacea, active acne, dermatitis, any type of lesion, eczema or psoriasis, cold sores, hepatitis, active diabetes, broken or fragile capillaries, and anyone taking prescription blood thinners. Anyone who has taken the drug Accutane should wait 6-12 months before having treatment. Your skin is in a highly sensitive state after the use of Accutane. If you are pregnant or nursing Microdermabrasion should be avoided. And if you are 14 years of age or younger. These last two issues are hormone related, you could end up with permanent discoloration.

OK, so now we have that out of the way. Are you a candidate? Read the rest of this entry »
