Key to Looking Younger! Education of Products and dermalogica and Jan Marini!

Karen — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 19:22:00 GMT

My favorite skin care brands that I’ve used (or still use) personally are typically ones that I used professionally in the past. This is usually because I was thoroughly trained via classes and seminars put on by the brands themselves, attended aesthetic conferences with workshops, or simply taught by the brand or cosmeceutical or pharmaceutical rep within the office or spa.

When you’re professionally trained you understand how and why each product works whether by understanding the ingredients used, the science which makes it work (bio-availability and what part of the skin and underlying cells its affecting and why that is), indications for usage and what the expected outcome should be, as well as proper application technique (absorbability, mechanical means, steps, etc.).

When I think of the ultimate example of a brand that trains exceptionally well, two skin care companies come to mind. Dermalogica and Jan Marini! Both lines are phenomenally effective and results oriented, easy to use, indication specific and extremely professional. They are constantly evolving and are the leaders in cutting edge science in relation to skincare.

You can find both at many professional day and medical spas as well as many dermatology offices. I buy both my Dermalogica and my Jan Marini products at www.spalook.com because that’s much more convenient for me and they are a lot more competively priced.

You will never find me out of stock of my two favorite dermalogica and Jan Marini products as they are crucial to my skin care regimen and to my looks! LOL I always have a back up of each.

dermalogica AGE smart power rich is an amazing pharmaceutical strength treatment that moisturizes brilliantly, reverses the signs of aging, softens, firms and tones and stimulates cellular turnover and renewal. It’s pricey, but more than worth it. This is probably my pick for the best skincare product on the market.

Next is my Jan Marini C-ESTA Facial Mask. The effects are instant and absolutely amazing. I always use it before important occasions or when I want to look my ultimate best. It is seriously the closest thing to an instant facelift I’ve ever used. I can’t even begin to tell you how much you will love this mask!

More Big Bucks Beauty Savings with iS Clinical and Kinerase!

Karen — Thu, 13 May 2010 20:53:00 GMT

More great deals! The other day I wrote about great inexpensive products that are comparable to expensive ones. Then once I got started on it I realized how many I wanted to share with you and knew it would take more than one article. So today I’m excited about sharing a few more!

SkinCeuticals Advanced Brightening System is an amazing regimen for correcting and lightening up sun-damaged skin. It’s a five product regimen that not only corrects but also protects. It costs $295 but is a $392 value. If you can spend three hundred dollars you’ll absolutely love this system. However, if you can’t there are definitely some great alternatives for less.

Check out:

Kinerase Photofacial Sun Damage Reversal Kit $100 ($143 value!)

And/or

iS Clinical Hyperpigmentation Travel Kit $130 ($195 value)

Both kits are exceptional systems for treating sun damage, aging, texture and skin tone!

Eye do Believe in CosMedix! Brilliant Brand!!

Karen — Mon, 03 May 2010 22:07:00 GMT

I am so seriously sold on a new brand I stumbled onto recently called CosMedix. I think I’m impressed because of the obvious science it bases its formulas on. It’s very clinical in that it takes into consideration pharmacology and chemistry, yet is plant based and earth friendly and free of artificial colors and preservatives. The line is considered “chirally correct.” In a nutshell, this means its ingredients (or molecules within the ingredients) are a perfect fit for positive interaction within the skin.

Today I thought I’d share with you a couple of amazing CosMedix products. They are absolutely outstanding!

CoxMedix Eye Believe is an incredible serum that replenishes damaged and thinning eye area skin. It’s hydrating, collagen building, protecting and fights further free radical damage. I love this product! Eye do believe!!!

Secondly, I’m crazy for CosMedix Define. It’s a gentle blend of acids and retinol. It’s an excellent exfoliator, rebuilder, fibroblast stimulator and acne reducer. CosMedix Define definitely defines therapeutic skin care treatment!

PCA SKIN pHaze 9 Purifying Mask is Phenomenal!

Karen — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 20:38:00 GMT

I’m leaving tonight for Utah and I wanted to look especially good for my trip so I pondered what treatment to give myself. I came to the conclusion that my best options for quick beauty would be a mask. I wanted a mask that would brighten up my dull skin, tighten up my pores and firm up my sagging skin.

I chose PCA SKIN pHaze 9 Purifying Mask. And what a good choice I made! It’s formulated with the most incredible exotic ingredients. Algae from the Red Sea, red clay from France and wine extracts just to name a few! It has the best anti-oxidants and is a great choice for any type of skin. My face is completely refreshed, revitalized, detoxified and smooth and bright. From the moment I removed it with my wash cloth I couldn’t believe the immediate result I had just achieved.

PCA offers so many incredible products. I’ve always loved PCA SKIN brand! I used it professionally years ago but had kind of forgotten about it over the last year or so. Then when I was pondering which mask to use this morning it hit me that I had the PCA Skin pHaze 9 Purifying Mask in my drawer and realized how lucky I was to get to use it. It was a brand new tube that I must have forgotten I had purchased a while ago.

Don’t wait until you’re going on a trip to try out this mask! Try it sooner rather than later and you’ll be really glad you did! You will look like you just stepped out of a day spa. That’s truly the only way to describe it!

MD Skincare Offers More Than Tax Credits and Refunds on This April 15th...They offer gorgeous skin!

Karen — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 18:54:00 GMT

I think one of the best ways for making a regimen more effective is to swap out a couple of steps. Choosing a wiser more effective product to replace a mediocre one is not only a no-brainer, but can kill two (or more) birds with one stone.

One of the best things to swap out in my opinion is the toner (or balancing and prepping the skin for following regimen products) step. I replace the mundane cotton ball and toner with a mighty pair of pads! They not only tackle this particular (balancing and prepping) step but they do much more! They’re pre-soaked (convenient), they exfoliate (chemically), the textured pads themselves exfoliate (mechanically), they minimize pore size, instantly firm up the skin by stimulating collagen production, brighten and even out skin tone, clear up blemishes and calm redness…And that’s just the first pad in this quick two-pad process. The second pad neutralizes the action and this step is one of the reasons MD Skincare’s Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel is so effective, professional and multi-tasking.

Almost any professional treatment that significantly changes molecular makeup or cellular processes has a second step that either neutralizes or stops the action. Think of a permanent wave…after the hairdresser has changed the structure of the hair, he or she needs to stop the action and restore the cuticle shaft to its original state in order to keep damage at a minimum as well as finish off the process with a beautiful outcome.

My face feels clean, toned, and looks younger, hydrated and refreshed all within the two minutes I take by swapping out this one step of my regimen.

You can’t go wrong with any of the many MD Skincare products as they’re all incredible, but I have to say you will definitely go right with swapping out your toner step for MD Skincare Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel!

Caudalie Paris Cru is Amazing for Anti-Aging!

Karen — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 04:18:00 GMT

I love checking out the “what’s new” tab on SkinStore.com. I always find the best new beauty products. So I thought I’d do a little series on my new favorites from that great little navigation tool on that great skin care website.

Caudalie Paris products offers Caudalie Premier Cru. It’s the first product listed on the page although I don’t think they were placed in any specific order, but for me it’s pretty much numero uno.

Caudalie Paris has an amazing “natural” line of skin care products that use patented technology that delay and fight the signs of aging skin. Caudalie Premier Cru was inspired by the great vintages of Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte. It's an amazing anti-aging cream formulated with an exclusive combination of precious and effective ingredients for your skin. It uses 3 signature patents (Resveratrol, Viniferine and grapeseed Polyphenols) within this 'results oriented' cream that protects the skin from premature aging, improves elasticity, smoothes away wrinkles and even helps eliminate dark spots.

This is one grape product!

TNS Essential Serum = Youthful Bliss!

Karen — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 17:18:00 GMT

I always forget about how much I love SkinMedica’s TNS Recovery Complex until I see this rep for SkinMedica and his incredible skin. I only see him about two times a year and every time I do I pony up the dough for the amazing serum. Then I seem to get my skin looking great but start using other less expensive products in hopes that I will maintain the gorgeous peaches and cream skin that I had just reinstated. Problem is other serums just don’t pack quite the same punch and I end up wishing I would have just stayed on the TNS bandwagon.

Well, now that I’ve finally figured all that out the proverbial plot just thickened! Now SkinMedica has paved the way for even a more incredible TNS concoction by offering TNS Essential Serum. Within one container they’ve placed TNS Recovery Complex and APS Corrective Complex which is a potent mixture of antioxidants, peptides and other anti-aging ingredients.

Here are the documented benefits of SkinMedica's Products TNS Essential Serum:

• Nouricel-MD helps improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and the overall tone and texture of the skin.
• Smoothes and tightens skin.
• Strengthens the skin's natural ability to regenerate itself.
• Fights against environmental damage.
• Brightens and lightens age spots.

This is the new and improved dynamic duo of youthful bliss!

PTR Unwrinkle...Really does unwrinkle!!

Karen — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 17:23:00 GMT

Yesterday Gina wrote about DDF and how it and some of the long time favorite brands diffuse stronger more aggressive cutting edge technology into some of their anti-aging (and many other issues for that matter) products. It reminded me of Peter Thomas Roth another all time favorite brand of mine.PTR and DDF have long been forerunners in the industry for years. If it weren't for my obsession of trying every product and every brand from A to Z I'd probably still be using one of these (or a combination of both) for my sole regimen. I still love and use a few PTR and DDF products and won’t give them up for all the tea in China. Here are a few of my staples.DDF products offer Mesoinjection Healthy Cell Serum that I use faithfully. It contains potent peptides and amino acids to immediately rejuvenate skin's luminosity while smoothing skin's texture.The best wrinkle products I won’t be without are from PTR products. There is a value kit being sold right now on SkinStore.com that has three of my favorite “UnWrinkle” products. It’s priced right at $68 but is a $138 value. It contains powerful patent pending ingredients that work synergistically to achieve amazing anti-aging results.Peter Thomas Roth UnWrinkle Kit includes:

UnWrinkle, 0.5oz
An exclusive, patent-pending blend of six powerful, highly concentrated, 100% active wrinkle relaxing and anti-aging peptides are combined with vitamins and skin moisturizers to create this wrinkle fighting solution with the highest degree of effective ingredients found in clinical studies.

UnWrinkle Peel Pads, 20 pads
These pads are designed to exfoliate the skin for the superior glow of a professional facial peel, while also preparing the skin to allow treatment products to better absorb into the skin. The result is beautiful, clear, radiant, glowing skin.

UnWrinkle Night, 0.25oz
This state-of-the-art moisturizer is designed to assist in cellular renewal, repair daily environmental damage, restore moisture and revitalize the skin while you sleep. Retinol helps to reduce fine lines and wrinkles and to normalize sebum production. Leaves skin looking and feeling hydrated, soft, smooth and years younger.

For effective, results oriented “anti-aging” skin care products that successfully accomplish youthful beauty…you must try DDF and PTR!
