Discovering another skincare line that’s highly effective, gentle, chemical free and designed to meet the needs of every skin type and problem is a Groomed LA wheelhouse.

Let us introducer you you to the phenomenal line called MDSUN that does just that.  With a cult following and favored among celebrities,  MDSUN was developed by Pasadena California based plastic surgeon and biochemist, Dr. George Sun. Dr. Sun specializes in facial plastic surgery and wanted to meet the specific healing needs of his patients as they recovered post-op.  With close to 20 years of clinical research and experience , he’s been on the cutting edge of medical science with the use of a special technology called ultra packs.  Ultra packs are a unique and specified combination of stem cells, peptides, and antioxidants  designed to work together to smooth fine lines, diminish dark circles and deliver the best and most effective results.

 The line treats every skin condition from redness, wrinkles, acne, hyper pigmentation, dryness, pore reduction, to smoothing, resurfacing, and brightening.  What’s so unique about this line is that it’s free of fillers like alcohol and water, the ingredients are sourced from Japan and no cost is spared to get the best results. There are a total of 19 products that are meant to be used alone or combined based on ones specific skin type. The different colored packaging addresses a skin issue. Yellow is anti aging, white  is brightening, and blue is hydrating.

Since we’re in the depths of summer, I was immediately drawn to the Super Hydrating B Serum because I wanted something light on my already normal skin type.  This boast of being effective on dry, oily, sensitive and acne prone skin.  

WHAT:: 

  • Spreads easily on the skin, absorbs quickly and is non greasy.
  • Hydrates the skin for a glowing complexion
  • Leaves skin feeling exceptionally smooth

The main ingredients are sodium hyaluronic acid which is a form of skin plumping, pantheonl, aka B5, which keeps skin blemish free, and lactobionic acid which  reduce the appearances wrinkles.

I’ve used this morning and night for the past 2 weeks and definitely have noticed a smoother and firmer complexion.  It’s hydrating enough to use without a moisturizer and I’m loving how great my skin looks and feels.  

I was also excited to try the Repair Moisturizer. This especially appealed to me as part of my nighttime regime. I figured whatever healing needed to take place could be done while I slept.  This revolutionary formula was designed to minimize the visible signs of aging, repair damaged skin cells and brighten skin.  

My skin feels hydrated when I wake up, plump and has a really nice glow.  It absorbs easily, doesn’t irritate my sometimes sensitive skin, is light and has a nice scent.  Once the weather gets cooler I’ll start to use it both morning and night. I feel good knowing that I’m doing something to slow down the early signs of aging that can creep up on you overnight.  This will definitely continue to be a consistent part of my skincare routine.  

There’s so much to discover in this luxury skincare line. The premiere product of the line is the Collagen Lift.  This caviar type gel contains peptides, stem cells, real gold flakes along with 52 other ingredients that are stirred together to repair and penetrate into the deepest layer of the skin and align collagen. So advanced is this development, Dr. Sun even uses this as a key ingredient in his injectables.

There’s so much to discover here.  Overall I would highly recommend this line to anyone who wants a hypoallergenic, fragrance free, paraben free, gentle, extremely effective premium skin care regime.

I can’t remember words and well, I prolly have early onset Alzheimers. I just started taking it and hopefully it will help with word recall?!! Let’s see. I just may forget to follow up if it doesn’t work. 🙂

Rejuvenate Your Skin and Reverse the Effects of Aging with Dynamic Innovation Labs

July 27, 2016

Dynamic-Product_Family

You want luxury, science, function and results? Here it comes…

You know by now that stem cells contain two key components: growth factors, which play a role in cell division, the growth of new cells, and the production of collagen and elastin; and proteins, which regulate that stem-cell division.

So, when applied to your skin, these two components help firm wrinkles and slow the development of new lines.

Let me introduce you to the motherlode…

Dynamic Sonic Innovation is a health-oriented skin rejuvenator, which tights the skin by Warm compress or Cold compress with Vibration and shifts from hot to cold in just 3 seconds to make an instant skin rejuvenation.

Dr. Barbara Sturm “Blood Cream”

July 8, 2016

FullSizeRenderDr. Barbara Sturm

In this day and age of eternal youth and beauty, I found a gem in Dr. Barbara Sturm. I recently met this German, pint sized powerhouse scientist and renowned beauty doctor, famous for her Hollywood A listers and international  clientele, in Los Angeles.  She’s developed a unique line of skincare products that combine medical expertise and cellular healing substances designed to slow down the aging process and keep cells younger longer. Dr. Sturm believes in maximum results with the minimum number of products.

That’s why she created her signature “blood cream” a.k.a. MC1 cream. It’s a holistic, effective face cream made from a patient’s own blood which naturally contains proteins and growth factors that reduce inflammation and stimulate the healing process.  It claims to reduce the signs of aging by building collagen, shrinking pores, reducing wrinkles, relieving inflammation and clearing up skin conditions like psoriasis and other common complaints.  It’s free of mineral oil, fragrance, and parabans.  

FullSizeRender-1 IMG_3814The concept is based on the understanding that a person’s blood cells have a natural ability to heal the body without the stress of using foreign substances.  She asked if I’d like to try it and I eagerly agreed. She drew blood, surprisingly pain-free, and the next day my $1400 custom “blood cream” was ready for pick up.  Along with that, she also gave me her Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Ampoules. A favorite of Jada Pinkett Smith, it’s designed to diminish fine lines, boost elasticity, and make your complexion firmer. I’ve been using both for about two weeks now and have happily been able to ditch the topical steroid cream I had become addicted to for so many years.  MC1 has a substantial, creamy consistency that absorbs nicely into the skin, not greasy. Its meant to be used both day and night. I’m really looking refreshed, younger and natural. It’s like my skin is breathing now.  The texture is firmer and I have a more youthful tone.  Well worth it if you want to indulge.  

Dr. Sturm is not a fan of make up and believes women look much younger with less make up and naturally radiant skin.  She told me that she wanted me to lay off of the make up since my skin was great. We’ll have to see about that!  

While Dr. Sturm’s proprietary MC1 cream is available exclusively to her patients, she has created a high performance skin care range that harnesses the power of Pursulane to address the signs of skin aging. The line is currently sold on Net-a-Porter and will launch at Violet Grey in September 2016.
