New Year, New You! Exfoliate Your Way to Healthier, Younger Looking Skin!

Rejuvenate in 2012 with exfoliating.There is no better or faster way to rejuvenate your skin than exfoliation! By exfoliating your skin you remove dull layers of built up skin which can lead to premature wrinkling. Skin is constantly regenerating itself. The dermis sends skin cells to the epidermis where skin cells die. The dead skin cells are then sloughed off.  As we get older, our cell turnover rate decreases and instead of our dead skin cells sloughing off they accumulate. Often leading to dull, dry skin. This is where exfoliation comes in. Exfoliators can help aging slow down, regenerating cell renewal and sloughing of cells to smooth the skin. By manually exfoliating dead skin cells reveal healthy, youthful looking skin.

Mechanical exfoliators

Microdermabrasion is performed at a dermatologist office or spa. Usually you buy a package and go for 6 or more sessions. Microdermabrasion costs about $100. Per treatment. It is great on acne scars and fine lines and wrinkles. It is not recommended for sensitive skin. After treatment you may appear red for some time.

Now you can have an at-home microdermabrasion treatment with spa results! Bring the spa to you with the new Personal Microderm Microdermabrasion Tool Kit! You will love the results, your skin will look younger, healthier and more vibrant!

Achieve amazing anti-aging results at home with Personal Microderm System. It works just like a professional microdermabrasion treatment without the hassle or cost. The hand-held device uses the same aluminum oxide crystals as the ten thousand dollar machines found at your doctor’s office. It smooths away dead skin cells, reduces the appearance of brown spots and other signs of aging.

Transform your skin and take years off! Microdermabrasion removes dead skin cells to reveal healthy skin. It will help smooth out fine lines and wrinkles so that your skin is beautiful. Get your at home microdermabrasion tool kit at http://www.skin-perfection.com/store/organic-skincare-tools!

Manual Scrubs should be one to three times a week. Massage in an upward circular motion then rinse well with tepid water.

Jojoba beads are very gentle. They can be used in place of your cleanser every day.  Jojoba beads can be used on sensitive skin. For those with sensitive skin, try jojoba beads on a small patch of skin before using on your entire face. Check out our gentle exfoliating cleansers at http://www.skin-perfection.com/store/exfoliators.

Salt is a great scrub for oily skin. Just add in a teaspoon to your regular cleanser.

Sugar is a great scrub for normal to dry skin. Add a small amount to your cleanser and scrub away! This is also great for dry and flaky lips!

Baking soda is a little more abrasive than jojoba, salt or sugar. It is great for those who have flakey skin or are trying to get rid of acne scars. Just add a small amount into your cleanser and scrub. Your skin will feel clean and refreshed. Baking soda is not recommended for sensitive skin.

The Skin Sonic is a great way to exfoliate skin everyday! The cleanser brush uses sonic oscillations (over 300 per second) to deep clean and exfoliate. Your skin will become smoother as dead skin cells, dirt and debris are removed. Leaving your skin will feel more toned, softer and radiant! The Skin Sonic is an affordable alternative to other brushes on the market. Not only does the Skin Sonic perform, but you also receive 5 different brushes. The Skin Sonic includes a Sensitive Cleanser Brush Head, Normal Brush Head, Exfoliation Applicator, Hydration Applicator and a Toning Attachment. Check it out at http://www.skin-perfection.com/store/cleansers/skin-sonic-dermabrasion-facial-brush/

Chemical Exfoliators:

There are three types of chemical exfoliators: Chemical Peels, Alpha Hydroxy Acids or Enzymes.

Chemical Peels are done in a dermatologist office. They tend to cost $100 and up. Most peels have a “down time” and may take your skin anywhere from 3 to 10 days to heal.

Alpha Hydroxy Acids are fruit acids such as Glycolic, Malic, Tartic, or Lactic Acid.  Skin Perfection carries Cleansers and Toners with Alpha Hydroxy Fruit Acids at http://www.skin-perfection.com/store.

Enzymes are the gentlest of any exfoliators. Papaya and Pineapple are the two mainly used. At Skin Perfection, our moisturizers contain Papaya and Pineapple for daily exfoliation.

Exfoliating is a great way to manage your skin by exfoliating. Skin is constantly regenerating itself. The dermis sends skin cells to the epidermis where skin cells die. The dead skin cells are then sloughed off.  As we get older, our cell turnover rate decreases and instead of our dead skin cells sloughing off they accumulate. Often leading to dull, dry skin. This is where exfoliation comes in. Exfoliators can help aging slow down. By manually exfoliating dead skin cells, you reveal healthy, youthful looking skin.

New! Fresh Face Collagen Builder at Skin Perfection

Nutritional Supplement

NEW! Fresh Face Collagen at Skin Perfection

A Synergistic Blend of Hydrolyzed Collagen, Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin C & Targeted Amino Acids! Available in Nutritional Powder 1 lb.

Fresh Face is a new supplement that is formulated to increase collagen production. It’s beauty from the inside out! Try one of our favorite recipes and you will be hooked!

Fresh Face Collagen is not a cream, lotion, injection or laser treatment. It is a synergistic blend of Hydrolyzed Collagen, Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin C and Targeted Amino Acids that you add to your favorite beverage.

As the body begins to age, less collagen is produced. Collagen is an essential molecule naturally produced by the body. Collagen is one of the most plentiful proteins present in the body with 70% of connective tissue comprised of collagen. The collagen levels in the body affect the skin, bones, muscles, cartilage and tendons.

With the aging process, the body produces less collagen naturally. The skin takes on an aged thinning look, creating folds or fine-line wrinkles in the skins tissue. Hair begins to thin out decreasing the overall volume and thickness. Bones become more brittle and susceptible to diseases from collagen deficiencies.

Collagen is the major fibrous protein in the human body and is the most abundant protein in nature. Collagen attributes about 30% of the total human body protein. This fibrous protein connects and supports tissues in the body including skin, bone, muscles, tendons, cartilage and organs.

Collagen possesses great tensile strength and works differently than other type of protein the body naturally produces. Collagen strengthens blood vessels, tissue development and is present in the cornea and lens of the eye. Collagen fibers also contribute to the outside and inside structure of some cells as well.

As the body begins to age less Collagen is produced naturally by the body. Wrinkles begin to set in and the skin becomes thinner. The body receives less support of the tissues making the body weaker and more susceptible to disease, decreasing bone mass and weakening of the entire human body.

Studies have shown by increasing the protein levels of Collagen in the body the aging process will slow down. Tissue support will increase providing health benefits to all joints and organs of the body. Skin will become firmer with less visible wrinkles. Hair will become thicker, fuller and nails will grow stronger.

Fresh Face contains the essential building materials needed for skin, nails, hair and cartilage repair. In fact, a once a day regimen of Fresh Face actually changes the blood plasma profile naturally to signal the body to create more collagen.

With more collagen being constructed by the body, skin becomes firmer and younger while decreasing the fine-line wrinkles. Nails will grow faster and maintain strength; hair will grow faster thus developing, healthier and fuller hair.

Fresh Face also promotes joint health by nourishing ligaments, tendons and surrounding connective tissue.

Ingredients: Collagen Hydrolysate Type 1, L-Glutamine, L-Glycine, L-Lysine, Ascorbic Acid, Hyaluronic Acid, Grapeseed Extract.

Directions: Blend, Shake or Mix vigorously 1 scoop into 6-12oz. of cold juice (50/50 water, juice), water, smoothie or shake. Take once daily. For Therapeutic use, take twice daily.

The At-Home Spa using Natural and Organic Recipes!

A Day at the At-Home Spa

A Day at the At-Home Spa

Being a Green Girl can be really fun and rewarding. Using your own recipes to create an At-Home Spa retreat is a great reward. Taking the time to care for yourself is priceless. At Skin Perfection, http://www.skin-perfection, we have D-I-Y supplies for you to make your own natural and organic products. We are an affordable alternative to high priced spas.

First, make a hair mask and apply it to your hair.

Hair Mask Recipe:

Ingredients:
•   1/2 cup of mayo
•   1 tablespoon olive oil
•   1 egg yolk

Alternative add-ins: avocado, banana or whatever you can find.

Directions:
Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Apply mix to hair. Cover it with a shower cap or plastic wrap. Leave on for 45 minutes to an hour then rinse it off thoroughly and shampoo as usual.

Second, grab a great body scrub. We offer a (http://www.skin-perfection.com/store/bath-body)
Lavender Short Bread Body Scrub or a Brown Sugar Body Scrub. In the bathroom, before you shower, scrub your body with a scrub. Start from the ankles and move up your body, concentrating on areas where dead skin can build up, finish with the arms. Once you reach the bottom of your neck, go back to your feet. Step into the shower and scrub the back of your feet where dead skin cells build up. Rinse your body with warm water, remembering not to get your hair wet. After you are out of the shower, follow with organic aloe and jojoba body lotion or our new natural hand and body lotion (http://www.skin-perfection.com/store/bath-body).

Using a Body Scrub removes dead skin cells, it helps improve circulation and gets your body looking healthy and ready for spring.

Now it’s time to head down stairs and make a cup of tea. In a sauce pan, heat a quart of water. Take a cup of hot water for tea. The rest of the water, remove from the heat. Grab a towel.  Then, place your face over the steam coming up from the sauce pan and cover your head. This will catch all of the steam coming up and give you a mini steam facial in just 5 to 10 minutes. If you have special skin concerns such as acne, add in some essential oils to the water before you steam your face.

Essential Oils:

•   Acne: 1-2 drops Tea Tree Oil
•   Mature/Dry Skin: 1-2 drops Rose
•   Aging: Frankincense 1-2 drops
•   Calming: 2-3 drops Lavender or Chamomile
•   Large Pores: 2-3 drops Eucalyptus

Now, grab a Stoney Field Organic Yogurt from your fridge and apply to your face. Leave the organic yogurt mask on your face for 5 to 20 minutes, then rinse with tepid water.  While you’re in the fridge, grab yourself some breakfast.  Get a yogurt and top it with granola. Now sit back and sip your tea and enjoy your morning.

The Lactic Acid naturally removes dead skin cells and moisturizes your skin, leaving your face soft and smooth.

Time to hop back into the shower and rinse off your hair mask.  Shampoo your hair and follow with a conditioner if needed. You can also use an organic rinse made from Apple Cider Vinegar or tea. A rinse will leave your hair soft and shiny.

Now it is time to get ready for the day. There are so many different ways to create your own At Home Spa, experiment and see what works for you! Even if you only have a few minutes, there is plenty you can do. Here are some alternative ideas: take an essential oil bubble bath, do a microdermabrasion with a Personal Microderm Microdermabrasion, http://www.skin-perfection.com/store/skin-care-tools/per … , Clay Mask for tightening.  Remember to check our blog, http://www.skin-perfection/blog, for more At-Home Spa recipes!

We hope you enjoy taking time for yourself! You deserve it!
