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 »

If you have been reading any of the other posts here you know that my absolute favorite tool (and it is a tool, not a face cream) for Anti-Aging is the Galvanic Facial. With the facial gels containing specially formulated ingredients that stop the genetic aging marker in our DNA plus the  negative and positive charged ions we can now reach deep into the skin and treat the signs of aging as well as prevent further signs of aging. And we can do this at home easily and for about $8 a treatment (that is for the treatment gels, you must purchase the Galvanic device initially, but only once. It has a great warranty and replacement heads for the device are very inexpensive).

What is really cool about the Galvanic is this: Any skin care system you choose to use whether it is what is made by the same company as the Galvanic which is Nu Skin, or made by another company, the efficacy of that product will be greatly increased. The Galvanic creates an environment in the skin which more readily accepts the active ingredients in your product. Oh~ Did I ever mention that you can also use  Galvanic Therapy to condition the hair and scalp as well as the skin of your body? And spot treat more stubborn wrinkles and lines?

I personally use mostly Nu Skin products but I also use some others and have mentioned them here and there within my posts.

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 »

Is this the goofiest photo of a Shih Tzu you ever saw? Or of me? Actually, goofier of me do exist, I am not a fan of having my photo taken! I usually avoid it if I can. I posted this just to make you laugh! Butch doesn’t usually look like this, I think the static in the air got to him. Usually his hair lays quite nicely. Shih Tzu’s have hair, like we do. Not fur, so they don’t shed, very cool! So they too can have a bad hair day!

Anyway, those of you who have been visiting my blog know that I am new at blogging. I am wondering something. Are you getting the information you want here? Are my posts and links on skin care, anti-aging and wrinkle reduction helping you to understand your skin? Are you learning about the  changes that take place in the skin as you age? Is there something in particular that I have not yet gotten to that you wish I would hurry up and address? What would YOU like to know or learn? My inquiring mind wants you to tell me! What anti-aging question do you have? I’d love it if you made a comment about your needs, or sent me an email via “Contact”. Interact with me and let’s have some fun!

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.”
