Did you know that the average skincare product provides less than 5% penetration. It is important to use products that offer a high penetration rate. The fact is skincare products should have a good delivery system in place. Your products should be formulated to help rebuild, repair, remodel and preserve the epidermal layers of the skin while building collagen and strengthening elasticity. A liposome delivery system is key to product penetration. Liposomes are microscopic spheres that are so tiny making the absorption almost perfect which solves many problems for special nutrient deficiencies within the skin. Products which are poorly absorbed or which have a normal molecular size inhibit efficient absorption providing very little nutrient value for our skin cells. Normal absorption is in the 3-5 percent range, liposomal absorption is 90 plus percent! Does your skincare products have this system in place. I have the perfect solution. I can help you get that healthy radiant skin you have always wanted without using harsh ingredients, chemicals or causing inflammation.

As we adopt healthy choices by adding exercise to our daily activities, we need to be mindful of the 32 individual muscles in our face. Instead of injecting toxins and chemicals, ask yourself WHY NOT exercise those muscles naturally. Microcurrent treatment is completely natural, safe, and non-invasive, and allows your facial muscles to tone, rejuvenate, heal, and rebuild themselves.
Like CIT, Microcurrent is another natural, non-invasive, and holistic approach to facial treatment. Visible results are evident after a single pain free treatment. Subsequent treatments have a cumulative effect and provide remarkable results that challenge both dermal fillers and laser technology. TAMA Microcurrent is a form of electrical massage that allows your face to attain better health naturally. This non-invasive, holistic modality is closest to the body’s own healing state, promoting homeostasis through rebalancing of ionic transport in the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous layers of the skin. TAMA's unique Multi-Mode Waveform stimulation provides simultaneous muscle toning and re-education, thus providing both short- and long-term benefits. Again like CIT, no other aesthetic service can come close to these proven results. Microcurrent treatment has been proven to: • Diminish appearance of fine lines and wrinkles • Improve circulation • Clear up/ reduce acne • Improve muscle tone in face, neck, and hands • Lift jowls and eyebrows • Calm rosacea • Drain lymphatic nodes • Treat sun damage • Improve skin pigmentation • Facilitate product penetration • Tighten large pores, resulting in smoother and firmer skin • Revitalize the skin • Improve elasticity Ask about TAMA’s Microcurrent facial rejuvenator and start your journey to a newer you!!

Purely Holistic Medical Effectiveness Organic Skincare About Osmosis SkincareThe Future is Here. Osmosis Skin Care offers a collection of facial products that are safe to use on even the most sensitive skin because they are infused with nutrients that are highly efficacious and yet non-inflammatory. For decades most skincare companies have been using irritating ingredients that work by inflaming the skin. This has to change if we want to reverse aging skin. Most skincare companies also struggle to get adequate penetration (2-5% on average) and they have failed to address the lack of skin nutrition needed to feed the repair process. This has resulted in poor outcomes throughout the world. Osmosis achieves remarkable results by addressing every aspect of skin damage; collagen/elastin production, scar tissue build-up, loss of skin nutrition and growth factors, and DNA damage. In addition, Osmosis Skincare avoids ingredients and strategies that weaken and inflame the skin. Finally, Osmosis Skincare differentiates itself by using the most advanced ingredients in the world. We are the first to offer DNA repair strategies using Zinc Finger Technology™. We are the first to offer liposomally delivered stem cell growth factors. We have over 17 patents pending for ingredients that have the unique ability to improve the skin without damaging or interfering with its proper function. Osmosis Skincare is the first company discussing increasing skin nutrition and offering multiple modalities to achieve that goal. No skincare line in the world has a more complete approach to skin health than Osmosis Skincare. Your results will reflect that. Is a Sugar Free Diet a Natural Facelift?
The perils of smoking are well known and the effects of cigarettes on our appearance are all too obvious in the advanced wrinkles that plague smokers from a younger age than is normal, but sugar is a less publicized culprit of premature aging. Sugar, once only an occasional addition to our diet, over the last few decades our consumption of sugar has increased dramatically and with it is has the incidence of insulin resistance syndrome, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. In 1700, the average person consumed only four pounds of sugar per year, by 1900 this had risen to 90 pounds of sugar per year and by 2009 the average American consumed 180 pounds of sugar every year, or to put it another way, half a pound of sugar every single day. Unfortunately this sugar craze does more to human health than give us tooth decay – it can also cause inflammation, damage our immune system and accelerate the aging process of the skin. How Sugar Harms Your Skin When you consume sugar it breaks down and attaches itself to proteins or lipid fats that then form into harmful molecules called Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs). Normally the metabolic functioning of molecules is controlled by enzymes but in the case of AGEs, this doesn’t occur and they have nothing to regulate them. They then set about damaging proteins nearby, including the two main structural proteins of the skin, collagen and elastin. Glycation adversely affects the properties of collagen, making it more brittle and it discolors collagen and elastin, weakening them and damaging DNA so that your skin can’t regenerate itself as easily. The altered proteins normally keep your skin firm, giving you a youthful complexion, but after their disablement by AGEs you may find your skin becoming more saggy, less defined and you might notice the early appearance of wrinkles. Dermatologist Cheryl Karcher MD, says “Number one, the glucose makes the cells abnormal; and number two, it creates free radicals. So you get a double whammy when it comes to aging.” Of course, sugar is present in most foods, even in fruits, vegetables and grains and it cannot entirely be avoided (glycation happens after consumption of these products too, but there are fewer AGEs in natural foods). Sugar is also necessary for energy, can boost your endurance, is good for your muscles and can help you burn fat more effectively during exercise. The problem lies with refining the sugar so that it is quite far removed from its natural state, consuming sugar in processed foods and the sheer amount of sugar that we eat. Our diet and the way we live our lives has a direct impact on how severely we are affected by glycation. Highly processed foods like white bread, white rice and foods loaded with white sugar or high-frustose corn syrup spread the glycation process like oxygen spreads fire. Will a Sugar-Free Diet Benefit Me? Avoiding dietary AGEs has been shown in research studies to delay chronic diseases and aging in animals and possibly also in human beings. Foods with the highest amount of dietary AGEs are cookies, potato chips, crackers and other items with high sugar content like cake. They are also present in margarine, white bread rolls or bagels, cheese, eggs and other dairy products and even in meats. Following a sugar-free or reduced sugar diet may benefit you by reducing the amount of AGEs you are exposed to and therefore potentially avoiding some of the damage to your collagen and elastin, helping you to maintain a younger appearance for longer than your coffee and cake loving friend. The way you cook your food can also determine how many glycation end products are present. For instance, frying grilling or roasting your meat will produce more AGEs within the meat than if you boiled or steamed it. You can eliminate some of them by marinating the meat in lemon juice or vinegar. Beef marinated in either of these acidic solutions for one hour formed less than half the amount of AGEs compared with beef that wasn’t marinated. People who reduce or cut out their ‘junk’ foods and sweet and sugary drinks, eat less meat, cook moist heated foods (like stew) and eat lots of different vegetables could only be consuming half the AGEs that people eating a traditional ‘western’ diet. So the secret to younger looking skin is avoidance of sugar and junk foods, eating a more natural plant based diet, cooking without the use of oils, limiting meat consumption and if you want to give your skin a boost with collagen induction therapy, with un-glycated collagen, this will give you the edge compared with those using diet alone. With a few easy changes, you can get back your youthful glow. |
