Some of our readers have heard that sun protection is causing Vitamin D defeciencies in people's bodies. Here's the bottom line on that: your skin only needs 15 minutes of unprotected exposure to the sun, so go out before 10:00 am and expose just a small area of skin, like your elbow, to get what the whole body requires in Vitamin D a day. Liquid Vitamin D3 drops in 1000mg dose per drop is superior anyway and pretty inexpensive and offers other health benefits. Do not risk deadly skin cancer when the alternatives are easy and cheap.

Sun screen products are not the place to save money in your cosmetic budget - this is health care. Just be sure to read labels and not purchase any with hazardous ingredients like the parabens group, fragrance/parfum, and others listed at the Environmental Working Group online, www.ewg.org

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. Formulation: water, soybean oil, aloe barbadensis leaf juice powder, allantoin, cassia angustifolia seed polysaccharide, sunflower seed oil, hydrogen peroxide, alpha-arbutin, rumex occidentalis extract, azelaic acid, lemon peel oil, kojic dipalmitate, licorice root extract, sodium ascorbyl phosphate, bisabolol, squalane, tocopherol For Professional Melasma treatments in the Portland area, click here |

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. Allow to set before applying any other products. 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 those with 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. Contains AHA's, distilled water, witch hazel extract, Deuterium Oxide (heavy water) D-20, L-sodium Hyaluronate, L-sodium PCA, vegetable glycerin, D-beta-fructan, D-beta-glucosamine, Citrus Oil, Grapefruit Peel Oil, Raspberry Seed Oil ( Essential Oils), benzyl alcohol. |
