The Power of Kinetin

Kinetin is an ingredient commonly used in skin care products because of its amazing ability and potential to address common skin concerns. Kinetin is derived from cytokinins or plant hormones that are able to cause cell division. Kinetin is an element that naturally occurs in human DNA; therefore it is easily accepted by the skin without causing irritation. Since the early 1990s, kinetin has proved to be a powerful anti-aging ingredient and is highly recommended among dermatologists.

Treating the skin while we sleep is the best way to regenerate and revitalize the skin. Studies show that while our bodies are at rest, our skin is more able to accept ingredients and utilize these active elements. Use Kinerase Ultimate Night Moisturizer to restore and nourish environmentally damaged skin. Kinerase products visibly reduce the signs of aging while neutralizing free radical attacks.

Kinerase C6 Peptide Intensive Treatment combines the power of kinetin with vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that helps prevent UVA and UVB damage and also fights premature aging.

Kinetin Intensive Eye Repair, made by Osmotics Cosmeceuticals, is formulated with kinetin that helps to soften fine lines and wrinkles while promoting elasticity and firmness around the orbital area.

Menopause & Skin Care Solutions

Menopause is the natural and permanent stopping of a woman’s monthly reproductive cycle, triggered by the shutting down of the woman’s ovaries. Women usually start to experience menopause in their early 50s, and is followed by numerous changes to the body. Hot flashes, palpitations, anxiety, depression, mood swings and loss of concentration are all indications of menopause. During menopause, the body’s testosterone, estrogen and progestin fluctuate dramatically, causing changes not only to the body but to the skin as well.

The skin shows signs of menopause by slowly thinning and producing less collagen, decreasing in elasticity, the skin generally becomes itchy, dry and tender or more sensitive. During this time, the skin also starts to show signs of aging due to sun damage, free radical damage and improper care of the skin.

Using the proper skin care while going through menopause is vital to help maintain healthy skin as well as prevent any further damage from occurring.

The B.Kamins Menopausal Starter Kit helps to minimize the symptoms that the skin experiences while going through menopause. Hydrating ingredients soothe and calm dry skin, while cooling the skin.

Daily supplements are an excellent addition to one’s regimen to replace nutrients needed and to nourish the body. I recommend Imedeen Prime Renewal – 3 Month Supply, as it helps the body to adjust to menopausal changes that are occurring, help to rebuild collagen and firms the skin.

Sensitive/Acne Prone Solutions

Acne is a very common word these days, and one of the most common skin conditions. Acne is described as an inflammatory disease of the skin, characterized with lesions known as papules or pustules, generally referred to as pimples, breakouts or zits. Acne is usually fairly easy to treat; however, treatment can get somewhat more difficult if you have acne, but also have sensitive skin.

If you have a hard time finding a cleanser for acneic/sensitive skin, try Avene Diacneal Gel Cleanser, which contains lactic acid that gently exfoliates while hydrating the skin and is fragrance, colorant, and soap free. Oligopur Purifying Cleansing Gel from Phytomer contains natural marine elements that purify and draw out impurities.

Treating breakouts directly is important and effective in reducing present lesions. PCA Skin Acne Cream – pHaze 33 includes soothing ingredients like allantoin and aloe vera while lactic acid and tea tree oil fight the bacteria that initially causes breakouts.

Incorporating a mask into your regimen is very beneficial as they contain high amounts of active ingredients. Try Juara Lime Puree & Cucumber Clarifying Mask. Citrus ingredients slough off dead skin cells, while cucumber extract calms and soothes.

Reduce Bags & Sagging

Sagging and bags are just a few concerns you may have around the eye area. The natural aging process contributes to sagging and bags in the eye area as well as the normal contributors – sun damage, free radical damage and lack of proper skin care.

Correcting and repairing such extensive aging can be difficult, but not impossible. Bliss Baggage Handler reduces puffiness and bags while hydrating and strengthening the eye area.

Contour and relax the eye area with Cellex-C Eye Contour Cream Plus. Vitamin C, vegetable triglycerides and hyaluronic acid diminish fine lines and wrinkles while de-puffing and hydrating.

Kits for Every Skin Need

With the many skin needs and concerns, it can be difficult to find a regimen of products that fit your every need. Kits are helpful because they include the types of products you are looking for and make it easier for you by taking out the guessing of which products will work for you.

The Power of Essential Oils

Essential oils are extremely concentrated aromatic compounds that are derived from plants. Essential oils have been used medicinally for hundreds of years for such treating things from rashes to cancer. Nowadays essential oils are extracted from plant materials, distilled and then formulated to treat specific concerns such as rosacea or acne.

Essential oils such as thyme and cypress have been shown to effectively reduce surface oil on the skin. Mattify your skin with Yonka Lotion – Normal to Oily and cut down oil production.

Sensitive skin can be difficult to treat, as many ingredients exasperate it and cause irritable symptoms. Yonka Crème 83 - Sensitive Skin protects even the most delicate skin with essential oils lavender and geranium, which soothe the skin while rosemary helps to stimulate repair.

Acne is commonly treated with essential oils because essential oils are easily absorbed into the deeper layers of the skin, thus treating the acne where it starts. Neova Intensive Blemish Treatment utilizes tea tree oil, sage and thyme to effectively fight acne bacteria while calming the common inflammation that is often associated with acne.

Healthy Hair Care

Our hair and scalp are often ignored, left lacking the proper nutrients and care that they need. Our hair gets damaged by the sun, weather and pollutants on a daily basis, which can make it become dry, brittle and dull. The skin on our head needs just as much care as the skin on the rest of our body; lack of care causes poor hair growth and an unhealthy texture of our hair follicles.

Rene Furterer Complexe 5 Regenerating Extract revives the scalp and hair by stimulating and toning it with essential oils of orange and lavender. The simple application of this product induces microcirculation and blood flow to the scalp, which encourages healthy hair growth and deep cleans.
