Product Review: Polishing Peel for Baby Soft Skin

As we age, the turnover rate of our skin cells slows. Dead skin cells that normally shed every 28 days hang on to the skin’s surface longer, leaving it feeling coarser due to uneven surface texture. This rough texture does not reflect light evenly, resulting in lack of skin radiance or brightness. This slowed cell turnover can exasperate the appearance of pores making them appear larger.

Many individuals turn to different skin treatments to help alleviate these skin aging concerns. One common skin treatment is microdermabrasion, which uses a tool to buff or sand away the stratum corneum (outer layers of the epidermis). This increases the smoothness of your skin, helps it look brighter and decreases the appearance of pores. This can also stimulate the skin’s natural cell renewal process, resulting in a younger appearance. Microdermabrasion is less invasive than many professional skin treatments, but some may experience mild swelling and redness that lasts from as little as a few hours to a couple of days.

Nu Skin’s Polishing Peel Skin Refinisher resurfaces and polishes skin to immediately deliver a fresh, glowing complexion. It features pumpkin enzymes to resurface, soften and polish the skin and bentonite clay to remove dull skin cells and toxins. In an internal consumer use study, Nu Skin Polishing Peel was found to provide benefits similar to those experienced by some microdermabrasion techniques.

During this study participants received a professional microdermabrasion treatment on one side of their face and used Nu Skin Polishing Peel on the other half of their face. The users and independent graders tactilely and visually evaluated their skin. Overall, the two were considered equivalent, with Nu Skin Polishing Peel rating higher for the skin being smoother and softer and microdermabrasion rating slightly higher for the skin feeling resurfaced.

Positive benefits reported from both treatments included “skin is glowing,” “looks smoother,” “pores seem smaller,” “looks resurfaced,” “tone and color are more even,” “looks healthier,” “looks less oily,” and “I look younger.”

Nu Skin Polishing Peel provides results equivalent to microdermabrasion with a convenient, quick, application just a couple times per week as part of your skin care regimen. It helps resurface and polish skin leaving a healthy, youthful looking complexion and radiates a healthy looking glow.

30’s, 40’s, 50’s… OH MY!

LIFE…In your 20’s you can conquer the world, you are feeling unstoppable. Your 30’s you think about settling down and starting your own family. You hit 40, the vision starts to get worse and the reading glasses get added as a necessary accessory. You hit 50 and it seems like everything begins to fall apart. Its as though a time clock just went off reminding us that we are entering THE ZONE.

The Zone I am referring too is the one where you log into your Facebook account and see all the updates of your friends… the aches, the pains, the illnesses and surgeries of aging. Weren’t we JUST in high school a few short years ago? Wow how time flies! Gratitude lists begin showing up more and more as status updates. Don’t look at the things that are wrong, look at the things that are right, that are going your way. Sounds like a plan to me. But when you go for your annual physical and the reports are not as peachy as they were before, or you look in that mirror and see that new line that wasn’t there yesterday, or that dark freckle thats starting to look a little off, or the indigestion that you seem to get every single time you sit down to a nice dinner, your brain begins to wander and you start thinking…aging sucks! Then it hits me!

If I want to feel my absolute best and be in the same shape I was in when I was younger, sitting on my butt in front a computer screen all day is not going to work anything out on my body, except maybe my fingers. Time to put the wheels in motion and take charge of my life, while I am still trying to figure out what I want to do when I grow up. I need to be the best me I can be that will allow me to “grow up” gracefully. So I began to do some research into a variety of products that would help me slow down the aging process, that were not filled with hype and unfulfilled promises. I found a product line by a company called Pharmanex. This company has the key to slowing down the aging process. With their recent aquisition of LifeGen Technologies, they have over 30 years of research on how and why people age. I began taking some of their products and let me tell you, that stuff changed my life! I am not one to rave about a product nor promote a product on this blog very often (if you are an avid reader, then you know this already). But this stuff is truly a life saver. Supposedly it has an ingredient that can re-start the mitochondria in your cells. The mitochondria slows down as we age and causes most of our problems as we age. The mitochondria is the brain of every single cell we have in our bodies. Its the powerhouse of our cells. I not only sleep better at night, but I feel like I have the energy of the 30 year old. Its pretty incredible! The best part is my blood work from my physical came back better then it had in years! This link can give you more information on how to slow down the aging process for yourself and feel year younger. I PROMISE! Let me know how you feel after you try one of these products.

Coffee an old antioxidant, making new strides

When the Ink Spots sang “I love the java jive and it loves me” in 1940, they could not have known how right they were!

Coffee not only helps clear the mind and perk up the energy, it also provides more healthful antioxidants than any other food or beverage in the American diet, according to a study released Sunday.

Of course, too much coffee can make people jittery and even raise cholesterol levels, so food experts stress moderation.

The findings by Joe A. Vinson, a chemistry professor at the University of Scranton, in Pennsylvania, give a healthy boost to the warming beverage.

“The point is, people are getting the most antioxidants from beverages, as opposed to what you might think,” Vinson said in a telephone interview.

Antioxidants, which are thought to help battle cancer and provide other health benefits, are abundant in grains, tomatoes and many other fruits and vegetables.

Vinson said he was researching tea and cocoa and other foods and decided to study coffee, too.

His team analyzed the antioxidant content of more than 100 different food items, including vegetables, fruits, nuts, spices, oils and common beverages. They then used Agriculture Department data on typical food consumption patterns to calculate how much antioxidant each food contributes to a person’s diet.

They concluded that the average adult consumes 1,299 milligrams of antioxidants daily from coffee. The closest competitor was tea at 294 milligrams. Rounding out the top five sources were bananas, 76 milligrams; dry beans, 72 milligrams; and corn, 48 milligrams. According to the Agriculture Department, the typical adult American drinks 1.64 cups of coffee daily.

That does not mean coffee is a substitute for fruit and vegetables.

“Unfortunately, consumers are still not eating enough fruits and vegetables, which are better for you from an overall nutritional point of view due to their higher content of vitamins, minerals and fiber,” Vinson said.

The proof is in the Scan

There is a machine called a Biophotonic Scanner that was put out by a company called Pharmanex.  This company has the right ideas, keeping folks younger longer by addressing the genes that start to fade as we age.  This new technology has recently made a break through in the health care industry.  About 6 months ago I had my first scan using the biophotonic scanner and  my score was disgraceful coming in as an “F” according tot he technician tending the machine.  It was mentioned to me that there was a great new supplement on the market that could raise my scan score guaranteed. Started taking it and it raised my score, meaning I now have more anti oxidants in my body.  But the kicker is, since I started drinking more coffee my score rose even more. Not only does coffee make me human in the am, it is an incredible anti oxidant!  Yea coffee!!!!  finally something that good for you.

AgeLoc Galvanic Body Spa. Remove Cellulite NOW!

Ergonomically designed for ease of use and handling during body treatments, the new ageLOC Galvanic Body Spa with pulsating technology features a proprietary ageLOC body conductive surface designed to deliver 10 times more ageLOC to your skin when used with AgeLOC Body Shaping Gel. The ageLOC Galvanic Body Spa targets the ultimate sources of aging while diminishing the appearance of fat and cellulite and smoothing skin to provide a slimmer, more toned appearance. It also features a self-adjusting current, lighted display, and audio indications, making it an easy to use in-home anti-aging body system. Newly developed, patent-pending galvanic pulsating technology is optimized to maximize anti-aging effects on the arms, abdomen, buttocks, and thighs. The skin on the body is thicker and less sensitive, making it benefit from and respond to a pulsating galvanic current. It also helps stimulate, purify, and refresh your skin to reduce the visible signs of aging—for a slimmer, smoother, firmer, youthful looking you today and in the future.

What is unique about the ageLOC Galvanic Body Spa?

The ageLOC Galvanic Body Spa was designed for use in combination with ageLOC Body Shaping Gel on body areas—not on the face and neck. This instrument was designed to target a larger surface area with a patentpending ageLOC conductive surface that captures 10 times more key ingredients between the conductive surface and the skin (when compared to the body conductor attachment). Secondly, this design is more ergonomic for easier use and handling during body treatments. Thirdly, the ageLOC Galvanic Body Spa and ageLOC Body Shaping Gel target end benefits/results (i.e., appearance of cellulite, slimming, toning, etc.) that are different from those targeted on the face. Lastly, the skin on the body is thicker and less sensitive, making it more apt to benefit from and respond to a pulsating current.

What is the difference between a pulsating galvanic current and a constant galvanic current?

A constant galvanic current is one that has a steady flow. It does not waver or vary in amplitude. A pulsating galvanic current is one that varies between two different, pre-established levels. Please note these are very different than alternating currents (AC). Within alternating currents, the polarity fluctuates between positive and negative poles. A pulsating galvanic current is better suited for the body.

What is the benefit of using a pulsating galvanic current on the body?

Direct (galvanic) currents, whether pulsating or not, can assist in the delivery of like charged key ingredients to the skin by improving osmotic flow. This is increasingly important for enhancing delivery of key ingredients to areas with thicker skin. Additional research has shown that the pulsating current enhances fluid vibration. Pulsating galvanic currents aid in stimulating skin and increasing cellular communication to help purify and refresh skin and help reduce the visible signs of skin aging. Pulsating galvanic currents are optimally designed for use on the body where the skin can benefit from enhanced fluid vibration.

•  Optimized pulsating galvanic current aids in stimulating

skin, helps purify and refresh skin, and helps reduce the

visible signs of aging.

•  Laboratory research demonstrates that treatments with

a Galvanic current can enhance the delivery of

anti-aging ingredients for up to 24 hours.

Cellulite? Have I Got News For You!

If you have those lumpy, dimply skin that often resembles cottage cheese or orange rinds, it’s quite normal. 9 out of 10 women have certain degree of cellulite on their thighs, buttocks, bellies and arms. But, why just woman?

Cellulite occurs when pockets of fat pushed up against connective tissue underneath the skin. Female skin tissue is thinner and less porous therefore, when fat cells push up, they’re more noticeable.

Tips to help minimize its appearance so you can wear bikini confidently next time you go to the beach!

1. Avoid too much sugar and salt in your diet. Sugar stores in fat cells and causes expansion, salt causes fluid retention.
2. Drink 8-10 glasses of water daily helps to flush out toxins that hide in the fat layers beneath the skin. Hydration helps to plum up the skin making it look less lumpier.
3. Switch to non-elastic undergarments made of smooth fabric with an invisible edge. Create even pressure on skin and prevent fat from being pushed up and deposited in unwanted areas. Thong and Capri length undergarments are also good choices.
4. Massage DO work! By creating friction, you can loosen or soften those fibrous connective bands between the skin, stimulate circulation and drain excess fluids. When fat cells aren’t full, the lumps look smooth.
5. DO NOT take diuretic products. Diuretic reduce fluid buildup for a brief period of time, and can negatively impact your digestive system.

STRESS = EATING?

If stress trigger your need to put some food in your much, why not reach for something healthy that will also help alleviate the stress?  What type of food does that you ask?  Well check out these favorites…

1.  Chocolate – My number 1 favorite.  Eating a 1 oz. piece of dark chocolate can bring on a feeling of calm in less then 2 minutes according to researchers at UCLA.  The feeling can last up to 2 hours!  Chocolate contains a couple compounds that help boost alpha waves in the brain.  Alpha waves are the things that hep calm the brain down.  Who said eating chocolate is a bad thing!

2.  Carrots- Probably my number 2 favorite.  Munching on a handful of these crispy veggies also can help reduce nervousness by 20 percent according to those same researchers.  Actually any number of crunchy veggies can help with this.  The natural aggressive act of crunching between the teeth can actually increase endorphins  which are known to make humans feel good.  The same type of reaction that you can get from sex.  The calm effect can take place within 15 seconds of crunching!

3. Beans – Beans help to PREVENT sugar spikes.  When there are sugar spikes in blood levels a feeling of anxiety can also rear its ugly head.  Beans help equal prevent these spikes when studied among women.  Nearly 50% felts calmer after eating a bean dish (hummus).  The balanced blend of fiber, rote in and polyphenols that prevent tensions triggering blood sugar spikes and crashes can last for up to 4 hours!

Next time you feel stress or tension, its ok to eat.  But reach for something that will help you through it, not something you will feel guilty about indulging in afterwards.

 

 

An Absolute MUST HAVE to look younger longer!

Galvanic treatments are used by spas and salons. It is a gentle, low current to refresh and energize the skin. These treatments, through a gently massaging action, help to focus cellular energy and enhance circulation.

Charges that are alike repel each other while opposite charges attract. By creating products to contain the specific charge and using the same charge, the currents are able to absorb the product deep down into the skin.

Nu Skin developed a patent technology, using the galvanic instrument to enhance the delivery of key ingredients up to 24 hours with only five minutes of each treatment. The galvanic instrument is a hand held home device that uses positive and negative low currents. It is light weight, battery operated machine that is used in the comfort of your own home.

With extensive research, Nu Skin found the source that causes aging: an internal free radical generator in the epidermis. Present on the surface of the cells, the age causing generator causes skin damage free radicals around the clock.

In addition to the amazing discovery, Nu Skin scientists have identified an exclusive blend of ingredients that slow down the production of the free radicals deep down in the epidermis. The technology that was designed to reduce the visible signs of aging by targeting the source aging is called ageLOC.

The ageLOC comes into two gel forms – Pre-treatment gel and treatment gel. Not only does the gels help slows down the aging signs, but it also remove impurities to revive the skin. The result reveals a clear, smoother look.

The pre-treatment along with the galvanic instrument uses a negative charge. Combined system absorbs the treatment deep down into the pores to adhere to impurities such as excess oil and pollutants. This allows the pores to breathe to soothe and condition the skin.

The treatment phase along with the galvanic instrument uses a positive charge. The positive charge attracts the negative charge from the pre-treatment gels and pulls the gels along with the dirt and impurities out of the skin. This results in promoting cellular energy, enhances skin hydration, which leaves the skin feeling soft, clean, and refreshed.

 

Treatment Phases

 

 The pre-treatment gel contains marigold extract to comfort and soothe the skin, sea kelp to moisturize and condition the skin, and vanilla extract to condition the skin These ingredients help remove impurities, allowing pores to breathe.

The treatment gel contains a proprietary ageLOC blend to help slow free radical production at its source and reducing visible signs of aging, arginine – an amino acid to help skin recover from stress, and magnesium to promote cellular energy.

 The galvanic spa can also be used on your under arms, stomach, butt, thighs, and under the chin.  The spa package comes with the body shaping gel to help tighten the skin elasticity.  If you are a mother like me, you’ll want to use it on your stomach area to tighten the flab that you get after carrying a child.  And if you have cellulite or stretch marks on your hips, the galvanic spa will help reduce the appearance. 

For those of you have lost significant amount of weight, use the body gels to tighten up the loose skin.  Also use the gel under your chin to tighten up the loose skin. 

 

The following image is a corporate released image and depicts a woman before using the Galvanic Spa and the same woman after 4 months of using the Galvanic Spa 2 times a week.  Truly impressive!

A Natural Approach to Avoiding the 3pm Slump!

Are you one of those people who goes for a quad shot venti cappuccino at Starbucks to get you through the afternoon slump?  or one who prefers an ice cold cola that had an added jolt of caffeine?  Well the cola fatigue fighter is the one that scares me…..most colas contain artificial caramel coloring that when combined with some other cola ingredients such as high fructose corn syrup, ammonia and sulfites is a cancer causing combination.  This potent combination has been proven in studies to cause cancer among rats.  Now thats a chance I would not want to take!  I much prefer a more natural approach to avoiding the 3pm slump by taking my AgeLOC VITALITY.  Vitality helps with removing that tired feeling that most people get in mid afternoon and also helps to improve mental clarity, physical endurance and stamina and the added bonus of improving labido.  When I go to sleep at night, I can avoid my Ambien habit because when my head hits that pillow I am out like a a light only to wake up in the morning feeling refreshed having had a great nights rest.  The potent combo of Cordyseps Mushroom, Siberian Ginseng and Pomegranate do the trick with no problem.  But don’t go looking for VITALITY at your local health food stores because apparently you can only get it through independent distributors.  Better yet, this product is guaranteed to work for you or you get your money back.  So kick that cola habit and opt for a more natural approach!
