Dermalogica Age Smart

The new Dermalogica Age Smart products take on a whole new “anti-aging” role or philosophy. The launch of Age Smart launched the idea of treating aging at the source by addressing biochemical reactions that trigger the common signs of aging.

Dermalogica Renewal Lip Complex smoothes and softens the lips with the use of hyaluronic acid and vitamin E for a younger appearance.

Dynamic Skin Recovery SPF 30 is a new medium-weight moisturizer for aging or mature skin. The SPF 30 is ideal for day use to provide sun protection to the skin and to fight premature aging.

Dermalogica MAP-15 Regenerator is a unique new powder-to-emulsion formulation that is to be used directly on the areas that are showing signs of aging. Vitamin C helps to stimulate collagen production for a firmer skin. Antioxidants fight free radical damage while glucosamine helps to synthesis production of hyaluronic acid. This is the new power-product from Dermalogica!

As we age our cell turnover rate increases, which causes the appearance of aging and makes the skin appear dull. Dermalogica Skin Resurfacing Cleanser helps to remove those dead cells on the skin which increases your cell turnover rate and gives a healthy glow to the skin.

Last, but not least, Dermalogica launched their Antioxidant HydraMist for mature and prematurely aging skin. Antioxidants and vitamin C and E fight against free radicals to stop aging in its tracks.

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.

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.
