Hormonal Challenges Are A Major Issue
Over one third of American women (about 50 million!) are in 1 of the 3 stages of menopause (peri-menopause, cessation of menses and post menopause) - the largest group in our history. No longer shrouded in mystery, the Boomer Generation speaks out and wants answers and many of us want natural, non-invasive remedies to relieve the discomfort as our bodies go through this cycle of life! With the decline of estrogen and other hormones, the skin goes through many changes, some of them can be very uncomfortable for many women. We find the cosmetics we have used for many years just don't seem to work as well, or perhaps they seem to irritate our skin. Dr. Howard Murad, dermatologist-researcher-pharmacist in Los Angeles, remarks " As a dermatologist, I frequently see patients concerned about maturing skin and the unwanted signs associated with the aging process. After careful evaluation, I discovered that there are 3 key components that affect the skin's aging process in women: Intrinsic Aging (genetics), Environmental Aging (sun damage, pollution, stress, poor diet, alcohol...) and Hormonal Aging (decline in estrogen). I've developed the first comprehensive skin care regimen targeted to the specific needs of the menopausal woman - featuring topical products using a combination of plant derived phyto-estrogens".
If you are over 35 and experiencing any of these symptoms, you may want to consult a specialist for hormone testing to see if you are peri-menopausal: dry, itching skin perhaps feeling like "ants are crawling under the skin!"; hair loss; rosacea-like redness and bumps; migraines; weight gain; mood swings and irritability; problems concentrating and "fuzzy" thinking; memory loss; PMS; irregular menses; heavier or lighter flow during or between menses; vaginal dryness and infections; urinary tract infections; incontinence; irritable bowel; heart palpitations; fatigue and insomnia.
If these symptoms are not related to menopause, but you have a history of them, research "Estrogen Dominance" and experiment with natural progesterone body creams, eat soy based foods, flax seeds, fish and try other dietary changes. Many women are voiding red meat, dairy, wheat and caffeine to see if there is any relief. Read Dr. John Lee's book: "What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause", and Dr. Christiane Northrup's book "The Wisdom of Menopause". Ask your doctor about taking a blood test to determine if your hormone levels are out of balance because one new fact we've discovered: many doctors treat obese women as "estrogen dominant" based on a theory that fat cells produce estrogen. However, new findings show that these women may in fact have low levels of estrogen! Women we have talked to at Joie de Vie over the years confirm this.
If your skin exhibits multiple symptoms like extreme dryness, scaling, loss of elasticity, poor healing from bruises, scrapes, cuts or surgery, plus, if you are very easily tired and have low blood pressure, if your pigment is changing from head to toe, if you are losing hair - ask your doctor to test you for Adrenal or Thyroid problems.
Many women have been misdiagnosed so seek a second opinion if you feel your doctor "doesn't get it"! One doctor (a woman!) told me my symptoms were Angina, a serious heart problem, when in fact I was just having my first hot flashes - at 42!! She prescribed Nitro Glycerin to "take at onset of symptoms", after she sends me to a heart specialist for several expensive, time consuming tests - by the way, the heart specialist didn't get it either - he said "why did she send you here - you're in great health?!". Even Oprah Winfrey was misdiagnosed - 5 times! Get pro-active with your health care now! Get regular check ups and talk to your doctor about even the most innocent seeming symptoms you experience. Also, go to your appointments with no make up on: your face exhibits important clues to your health!
*To view products for hormone issues *See article "Is Your Shampoo Making You Fat?"The American Cancer Society reports that it expects over 1.2 million new cases of skin cancer to be diagnosed this year in the USA. Most people own sunscreen products but simply forget to carry them with them all day to reapply. Its important to reapply the product to all exposed skin every 2 hours during exposure, including driving. A report on July 28, 2006 revealed scientists findings that the majority of people do not apply their sun screens properly and therefore do not get the anticipated protection from Ultra Violet light. In July of 2009 I find this is still true. Despite all the media offering sound information about skin cancer prevention, most Americans are not using sunscreen regularly or properly. Apply your first daily sunscreen a full 30 minutes before you head outside so the ingredients are fully ready to protect you. Then, watch the clock so every time you go out again you can reapply. Sunscreen ingredients do not survive on the skin more than 2 hours. Don't rub sunscreen into the skin like a moisturizer: leave a film on the skin to help deflect sun rays. Wear sun hats with large brims that cast shade over the neck and shoulders to increase sun protection. A report published February 2007 announced how studies show people who spend a lot of time in the car not only have more sun damaged skin than previously thought, but significantly more skin cancers on the window side of the driver's body - including exposed ears, arms, hands and knees.
Tanning and burning actually weakens your body's immune system, so not only are you at risk for cancers but your body's defense system cannot fight infections and disease as well as possible. Cigarette smokers are at even higher risk as their immune system is already compromised. Those with Lupus, Rosacea and other "broken capillaries" problems need to heed this news in particular. Menopausal skin is thinning out due to loss of collagen cell production. Ultra Violet light, wind, heat and cold damage the skin's blood vessels over time leading to serious vascular problems. Ask your pharmacist if your medication increases your risk for skin problems related to UV damage (melasma, hyper pigmenation, actinic keratosis).
Editor's note: if you spot a bump on your skin with a crater in it GO SEE A DERMATOLOGIST! It might be "Contagious Molluscum." Commonly spread through using unsanitary towels and gym equipment, sharing clothes, linens or cosmetics, it will spread on your body if you pick or rub the bumps.

Taheebo Nail Balm - The chemists at this lab have
developed the exclusive Taheebo Nail Balm to target damaged, dehydrated nails.
However, do not let the name confuse you, after over a year of testing it was
clear that this balm also worked wonders on dry, cracked feet and hands. Our
extremities can be the first areas of our body that become increasingly
sensitive and damaged from age, medical conditions and prescriptions.
Therefore, it is essential to quickly and gently permeate these issues with
the specific ingredients that are only found in the Taheebo Nail Balm.
Try it on chapped lips, too! The main attraction of this product is Hydrolyzed Keratin. However, TecNiche® did not use a typical Hydrolyzed Keratin...Taheebo Nail Balm's Hydrolyzed Keratin has an unusually high Cystine content. This special chemistry enables it to maintain and increase the integrity and cohesion of the nails. It's able to penetrate the skin and improve damaged nails and dry skin by increasing hydration, elasticity and overall integrity and structure of the nails. Taheebo Nail Balm also contains an effusive blend of botanicals butters, oils and extracts to relieve dry, irritated skin and provide anti-microbial properties. This roster includes Pau d'Arco (from Taheebo Tree), Organic Shea Butter, Organic Rose Hip Oil, Seabuckthorn Oil, Evening Primrose Oil, Tamanu oil, and Green Coconut Water packed with RNA, growth factors, amino acids and minerals. We could go on and on - but we suggest you stop reading and see first-hand what it can do for you! |

Brilliant Eye Serum has maximum ingredient IQ. It
is comprised almost entirely of Liquid Crystals, which are biologically
"organic" (they are made of the same things as the body: oxygen,
carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen). Being structured similarly to liquid
crystal, cells love to be supplemented with it as it supports skin's
hydration, moisture, flexibility and overall comfort. Serum also contains Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil (high levels
of tocotrienols and gamma- oryzanol antoxidants). Melia Azadirachta
(Neem)
Leaf Extract (healing, anti-bacterial, antiseptic) and Moringa Pterygosperma
Seed Oil (natural oleic acid moisturizes and protects skin). This eye
treatment also contains a highly intelligent antioxidant called "Spin
Trap" (Phenyl t-Butylnitrone, or PBN). Spin Trap
actually "traps" erratic oxidative free radicals and converts them
back into usable oxygen molecules before they collide with and damage cells
and mitochondria/DNA. No added fragrance. Color is 100% natural to
ingredients.
Formula: Cholesteryl Nonanoate, Cholesteryl Oleyl Carbonate, Cholesteryl Stearate, Phenyl t-Butylnitrone (Spin Trap), Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil, Zea Mays (Corn) Silk Extract, Eclipta Prostrata Extract, Melia Azadirachta (Neem) Leaf Extract, Moringa Pterygosperma Seed Oil, Tropolone, 1,2-Hexanediol, Caprylyl Glycol. |

| For those with
broken capillaries, use
Rosacea Relief for an all
natural solution to visible capillary damage from rosacea, spider veins,
vericose veins, broken capillaries, telangiectasia, high blood pressure, pregnancy, alcohol use, sun
damage,
cold and wind damage, smoking and more. Instead of trying to cover
up unsightly blood vessels, protect and repair them with this capillary cream. Formulated with horse chestnut extract to minimize the
appearance of capillaries and varicose veins (which appear on the hips
and legs when blood
vessels lose elasticity and become congested with blood or leak blood). Aescin, a
principal active compound of horse chestnut, is known to reduce
inflammation and improve vein walls by plugging minute holes and
microscopic leaks in venules and capillaries. This action promotes
elasticity and may prevent swelling and long term damage. For evening
use if you wear make up during the day as this is a different texture
than most face products. Use it over Living Cell Clarifier if you
have that product in your program.
Also contains: water, sunflower oil, glyceryl stearate, cetearyl alcohol, cetearth-20, glycerine, cetearyl glycoside, grapeseed oil, cyclomethicone, dimethicone, shea butter, jojoba oil, xanthan gum, tocopherol, caprylic acid, glycine, lecithin, rosemary oil, lavender oil.. For daily use on face and body. |

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. Certified organic formula with no parabens. 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 |

Bright Serum - This serum is loaded with natural brighteners and offers an alternative to Hydroquinone (a controversial ingredient the FDA was supposed to ban 3 years ago!). Contains innovative, natural ingredients like:
Arbutin: The
gold standard in natural brightening and inhibiting tyrosinase.
Hydroxycinnamic Acid: This exists in plants like Arbutin does. It is also a potent tyrosinase inhibitor, is non-irritating and stable. It works faster and better than kojic acid Waltherica Indice Leaf Extract/Ferulic Acid Complex: Reduces melanin pigmentation by inhibition of tyrosinase and by chelation of Cu2+ at the level of melanocytes. It is a flowering plant indigenous to Hawaii and has significant depigmentation efficacy. Lactic Acid: Gently accelerates cell turnover for brightening as well as being a natural melanin suppressor. GABA: A neurotransmitter that can help inhibit tyrosinase. Bright Serum is part of a daily program to restore the epidermis to its natural pigmentation color, improve the texture, fight free radicals that damage cells and promote discolorations, add a luminous tone to the skin and impart overall wellness to the complexion! It is important that you wear complete sun protection daily otherwise just use this at night. Formulation: water, witch hazel, alpha-arbutin, butylene glycol, lactic acid, hydroxycinnamic acid, PEG-4, mannitol, sodium gluconate, citric acid, sodium citrate, walteria indica extract, dextrin, ferulic acid, Blood Orange oil, GABA, geranium macaluatum oil, jasmine oil, lavender oil, orange oil, patchouli oil, ylang-ylang oil, palmarosa oil, green tea leaf extract, xanthan gum. |
