Wrinkles, beware – there’s a new protocol in town.

 

Skinn Cosmetics introduces a dynamic trio of active ingredients and cutting edge technology to treat those deep-set, stubborn wrinkles: Deep Wrinkle Protocol System.

CEO, Founder and the man behind all things Skinn Cosmetics, Dimitri James, says the Deep Wrinkle Protocol trio is the result of Skinn’s deepest research into dermal anti-aging technology, proven to dramatically reduce the appearance of deep lines and wrinkles.

THE TRIO!

Collagenesis Deep Wrinkle Protocol Line Peel Solution

This resurfacing solution boasts a multi-fruit acid complex, cocktailed with Mandelic Acid, White Tea Extract and Vitamin C, to exfoliate, resurface and help obliterate the appearance of deep lines. The solution also features Luremin, a more effective, next generation non-retinoid ingredient that is more effective than retinol at line reducing, yet non-irritating and non-inflaming. This controlled-release peel is designed for concentrated areas on the face to gently resurface and exfoliate lined areas, stimulating the appearance of smoother, softer, younger-looking skin while protecting against environmental damage.

Collagenesis Deep Wrinkle Protocol Deep Line Erasing Serum:

An advanced anti-wrinkle treatment packed with new innovative peptides that visibly plump deep lines and wrinkles. Utilizing a unique patented amino acid encapsulation technology to provide a lipo-filling effect, the serum will effectively help to stimulate and rebuild the lost suppleness that occurs as skin ages – skin will appear plump and more lifted. The serum also features Syn-ake peptide, a synthetic tri-peptide that mimics the effects of reduced muscle contractions resulting in a Botox-like effect, leading to a reduction in wrinkles and smoother skin. Additionally, this concentrated serum is packed with firming, regenerative peptides, HA spheres and 3D intensors for an emblematic Collagenesis® global approach.

Sonic Infuser Deep Resonating Tool

Skinn’s Deep Resonating Sonic Infuser amplifies the overall effectiveness of the Collagenesis® Deep Wrinkle Protocol Deep Line Erasing Serum or any of Skinn’s advanced serum formulations. Apply any serum directly onto problem-lined areas, then activate the Infuser to penetrate treatment to the deepest levels with the power of ultrasonic induction. Be assured that this gentle Infuser is safe to use around the delicate eye area without risk of breaking capillaries.

Use daily (morning and night) for most dramatic results.

 

The Deep Wrinkle Protocol System retails for $99.50 and is available for purchase on www.skinn.com.

Here’s an older press piece from Refinery 29 but I always love reading this:

Reading: Within: A Spiritual Awakening to Love and Weight Loss by Dr. Habib Sadeghi and forward by Gwyneth Paltrow.

January 21, 2014

Within

 

While consumers are bombarded with weight loss plans that focus on diet and exercise, most will quit before they see any results.  Dr. Sadeghi explains there is simple reason many dieters fail in their attempts lose weight, and reveals the missing ingredient in the weight loss recipe is self-love. I am loving this book!!! I am learning about epigenetics and how during his recovery from cancer decades ago, Dr. Sadeghi realized self-love can be a tangible, evolutionary force that will create changes in your life that can only be described as miraculous. Right up my alley.

 

The book and Dr. Sadeghi’s practice have received rave reviews, including:

 

“Habib Sadeghi is an insightful, kind man who approaches healing in a fresh and uncomplicated way.”—Tim Robbins, actor, director, producer”Dr. Sadhegi has shown me how my outside often reflects my inside; how our minds and bodies mirror each other.  He has helped me a great deal, and I hope that through this book more people can enjoy the benefit of his compassion.”—Chris Martin, singer/songwriter, Coldplay

“I don’t think I’ve come across anyone who understands more about the mind/body connection when it comes to changing our health or our lives, than Dr. Sadeghi.  In fact, he’s living proof of it.”—Emily Blunt, actor

Dr. Habib Sadeghi D.O is the founder of Be Hive of Healing, an integrative health center based in Los Angeles.  He is a highly-respected physician and researcher in the fields of integrative, osteopathic, anthroposophical, environmental, family medicine, German new medicine, homeopathy and clinical pharmacology. 

Additional information on Dr. Sadeghi is available on his website: http://behiveofhealing.com.

All proceeds from Within will be donated to Roots of Empathy, University of Santa Monica and Healing Institute of Beings.

 

Phytomer’s ACNIPUR Blemish Solution Fluid has been one of my personal favorite Phytomer products I’ve tried so far!

January 17, 2014

Phytomer’s ACNIPUR Blemish Solution Fluid has been one of my personal favorite Phytomer products I’ve tried so far.

It’s created with marine biotechnology and forms an invisible natural biofilm on the skin that soaks up sebum like a micro-sponge and inhibits the inflammatory process.

Skin is matified, blemishes and redness are reduced. It can be used as a spot treatment/serum OR all over the face/neck as a matifying moisturizer – depending on your skin type. 

 

Phytomer

MODE OF ACTION* 

1- ACTION AGAINST THE EXCESSIVE PRODUCTION  OF SEBUM

Inhibits the activity of the enzyme  responsible for the secretion of sebum.

2- ACTION AGAINST BACTERIAL PROLIFERATION

Limits the spread of bacteria on the skin surface  and inside of comedones. 

3- ACTION AGAINST THE APPEARANCE OF COMEDONES

Helps reduce the formation of fatty acids known to be comedogenic and thus limits the skin irritation reactions.

4- ACTION AGAINST INFLAMMATORY REACTIONS Reduces the activity of an enzyme  involved in inflammation and degradation of the skin barrier.
