Specialty Item For Sensitive Skin!

Make Up Cleansing Cloth -  high tech new fabric removes all traces of make up and mascara with just lukewarm water!  Especially great for sensitive skins and those with  Eczema, Rosacea or Melasma. Promotes the health of the skin by not disturbing the acid mantle.  Make Up Cloth is made from a new generation of specially knitted micro-fibers many times thinner than a human hair. When wet they create a hydro- mechanical process that breaks the surface tension of the oils that bond makeup to the skin. This emulsion is then easily wiped off the skin. It will even remove mascara! Gently exfoliates while it works.  Pack one of these in your carry on bag  for business, honeymoon and vacation travel!  No need to apply cleanser to the face or cloth.  Although this fabric does not replace the therapeutic properties of a good face wash, it is a wonderful alternative for times when skin is inflamed or sensitive, nights when you're too tired to wash your face and when you've been out partying too late!

This is a great gift for a new mom to wash her baby's face and body, for an elderly loved one that has a hard time washing their face, for a child to learn to keep their face clean and for a teenager to learn to take good care of their skin!  I hope this will teach girls to clean off all their make up before going to sleep at night!  Its 2010 and I am concerned that most women I talk to do not wash off eye make up at night!  Very serious trouble for the eyes, not to mention the health of the skin, to sleep in make up.

D-20 Spritz -  spray on this instantly moisturizing, hydrating, humectant liquid for a boost of "Heavy Water".  Botanical and Chiromatherapy properties that reduce cellular stress, protect against bacteria, viruses and radiation. D2O (Heavy Water - Deuterium Oxide) really is heavier than the water we are used to drinking and bathing with!  Its hydrogen molecule is twice the weight of the molecule in ordinary water, which makes D2O 10% heavier than H2O.  This is why it stays on the skin longer, helping to hydrate and plump the cells of the epidermis.  Our make up artists see that it is beneficial in achieving longer lasting color.  We use it in the facial rooms for superior results.   Research has found that Heavy Water has a higher resistance to vaporization, which helps it stay on the skin for longer periods of time.  It has more viscosity.  This thickness gives it a higher "plumping" effect than regular waters.  It bonds with the skin and other connective tissues more strongly than ordinary water, so the skin does not dry out as quickly or as deeply.  It requires 10 times as much energy to be ionized than regular water, which makes it more protective against ultraviolet radiation.   It inactivates certain acne bacteria, making it an ideal moisturizing agent for blemish-prone skin. Use to activate products, to balance skin's pH levels to reduce irritation, itching and redness, refresh make up color, as a wetting solution for make up sponges, or carry with you to hydrate the skin in smog, smoke,  bad weather or flying.  For face, scalp and body.   Save $8 today...

Bright Mask - a weekly treatment to enhance the skin renewal program for those treating issues like melasma, menopausal skin problems, sun damage and lack-luster dry skin.  We don't use the word bleaching when it comes to restoring the natural color of the skin (too many people actually have used household cleaning products thinking it's the same thing!).  Instead, the terms "brighten, brightening" was coined by the industry in effort to avoid confusion and injury!  For deeply lined aging skin types, this can be used more than once a week but test it out first and just see how your own face responds to frequent use.  Can be used on face, neck, hands and decolletages for up to 30 minutes before bathing or showering to remove.  For face only, leave on 15-20 minutes and remove with warm, damp towel - gently wiping and rinsing til all traces of mask are off and then follow quickly with your other Bright products before the moisture evaporates.  For all complexions with pigment changes, acne or sun damage - men: its been working for many of our male clients to treat issues of shaving acne, especially black men.

C-MAJOR SERUM: A comprehensive anti-aging serum!   C-Major is a take off of the original C-20 serum, but in addition to the 20% L-ascorbic, it also features 15% Matrixyl™3000 peptides and a unique apple extract-derived MMPI (matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor). You will enjoy “C-Major” results with this superior anti-aging complex! The key to C-Major is its effect on collagen – it helps protect and induce healthy collagen formation at a cellular level (courtesy of the L-ascorbic and MMP inhibitor) and on the surface (firming peptides). Thus, the result is younger looking, firmer, clearer  AND healthier skin. 

WHAT ARE MMP INHIBITORS?

MMP stands for “matrix metalloproteinase”. MMPs are enzymes naturally present in skin – their job is to break down proteins. But, if in excess, they begin over-attacking proteins, including the skin’s extra cellular matrix (which is a collection of tissue molecules including collagen, fibronectins, proteoglycans and elastin). When damaged, the extra cellular matrix becomes weakened and irregular, resulting in the common signs of aging (reduced elasticity, wrinkling, and capillary dilation). MMP inhibitors bind to and disarm MMPs, preventing their damage to healthy proteins. Thus, the structural integrity of the extra cellular matrix is preserved and the youthful state of the skin maintained. The body makes its own MMP inhibitors, called TIMPs (tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase), but research is showing that the combination of topical MMP inhibitors with the body’s own TIMPs acts as a superior anti-aging team. There is also additional research going on currently to investigate the potential connection between excessive MMP destruction and skin cancers.
