Venox

 

What is Venox?

Venox is an advanced blend of age-defying ingredients formulated to provide the ultimate skincare experience without cosmetic surgery. Since Venox is infused with Botox®-like SYN-AKE® peptides, it helps reduce muscle cell contractions to promote smoother skin while decreasing the visibility of surface wrinkles. Effective as both a short- and long-term solution, results become more and more apparent with continued use.

SYN®-AKE, a manmade version of viper venom helps to gently relax facial muscles and ultimately diminish the appearance of even deeper lines and wrinkles, while helping to prevent knew creases from forming. This effect is similar to Botox®, but without the potential side effects, pain, or bank account drainage.

Other ingredients help mimic the effects of collagen injections and other dermal fillers. SYN®-TC is formulated to help increase the formation of stable, healthy collagen that can help beautify and support skin for a firmer, more youthful look and feel. SYN®-TC even contains Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, a peptide whose collagen-stimulating abilities are so powerful, they can help contribute to a “filler effect” that could replace injectable fillers.

How does Venox work?

Much like Botox®, Venox smoothes skin by hindering the muscle contractions that create lines and creases – without the injection. Four powerful ingredients make this possible:

  • SYN-AKE®, a synthetic snake venom that inhibits wrinkle-causing muscle contractions while increasing skin elasticity;
  • Aloe Leaf Extract, which contains several antioxidants that help replenish aging skin’s moisture and improve its natural firmness;
  • Palmitoyl Peptides which aid in activating the synthesis of skin-plumping collagen;
  • Extracts from the Ginkgo Biloba Tree which contain antioxidants that help slow down the aging process by protecting against free radicals.

But SYN-AKE® isn’t the only reason Venox is an excellent anti-aging product. Venox combines the strongest anti-aging and skin-protecting ingredients available to deliver maximum results. These peptides and compounds work together to create a visible result that is dramatically superior to using any of its ingredients individually. In addition, since the advanced technology in Venox helps to boost collagen levels, fill in wrinkles, and improve skin elasticity over the long term, these dramatic results will last instead of fading at the end of the day like less advanced products.

 

KORRES WILD ROSE FACE AND EYE SERUM

September 4, 2014

Korres Wild Rose Serum

 

I have been pretty obsessed with KORRES since it hit big on the scene here several years back.  The line just gets better and better with every new product debut.  The Wild Rose Face and Eye serum has been my morning go-to since receiving it a few weeks back, and I am loving the serum, over thicker creams, for my “around the eye” nutrition.  What’s great is that you can just sort of rub it all over your face as well.  Unlike other serums which can leave you feeling sticky or like you have glue on your face, this is weightless.  It also doesn’t cause whatever you put over it, to ball up or flake off.

What it is:
An ultra-concentrated vitamin C face and eye serum that is clinically proven to brighten skin, smooth the look of fine lines, and improve skin texture. 

What it is formulated to do:
Brighten skin, smooth fine lines, and even the skin texture with this potent natural serum. Ultra-concentrated vitamin C found in wild rose helps to repair skin discolorations while boosting skin’s brightness and radiance. Baobab tree extract, in combination with a wheat proteins agent, provides an instant firming and line-smoothing effect and has been clinically proven to considerably reduce the number, depth, and length of wrinkles. 

What it is formulated WITHOUT:
– Parabens
– Sulfates 
– Phthalates 

What else you need to know:
This product is dermatologist tested and free of mineral oil, silicone, propylene glycol, and ethanolamine. For optimal results, follow with your favorite moisturizer. 

Research results:
Clinically proven results after 60 days: 
– 100% of women showed improved skin brightness and radiance 
– 100% of women showed improved skin smoothness

With roots in the oldest homeopathic pharmacy in Athens, Greece, Korres is committed to developing natural skincare, color, and body products that provide maximum results. Their formulations are among the most environmentally friendly and skin compatible available today, utilizing active natural extracts with antioxidant and skin-transforming benefits for clinically proven results.

Review: Goldfaden MD Light Treatment Dark Spot Corrector

September 2, 2014

goldfaden light treatment dark spot corrector

Sadly, I get hormonal acne around my chin and jawline. It’s awful, but most people have no idea because I take REALLY good care of my skin (I will post my skincare regimen in the coming weeks) and mineral make up works wonders. My aunt was an esthetician, so skincare has always been a priority since I was a wee one.

The past couple of weeks I added a new product to my current regimen and have fallen in love. It’s Goldfaden MD’s Light Treatment Dark Spot Corrector. It was hidden under my sink for months as I typically do not believe in dark spot correctors, but this product is the real deal. And is one of many awesome products from Goldfaden MD. continue reading

Tourmaline Gemstone technology with the LING Energy Lift Facial at Ciel Spa at the SLS Hotel in BevHills

September 1, 2014

New York City’s infamous LING Skincare New York has launched here, exclusively at Ciel – Spa at SLS Beverly Hills, offering the complete line of LING Skincare products and select treatments.  Ling’s caters to oh, just a few of the world’s top beauties for example someone named Madonna, Barbara Streisand and Naomi Campbell.

Lucky Groomed LA – we were invited to experience the The LING Energy Lift Facial,  which stars a tourmaline crytsal wand which sends infrared heat deep into the skin, stimulating detoxification and tissue healing at a deep level.  This was one of the most amazing sensations I have every had on my face and neck in a facial.  EVER.  It felt like a hot stone massage, only on my face – imagine that. On top of this, Ling’s facials also utilizes traditional massage methods to release facial tensions and well, all the other crap we hold in our face.  Tami, the aesthetician who performed my facial was clearly an expert in massage – and this took center stage to the whole experience.  It really was a sensorial experience like no other.  Ling’s world-class serums are the other super stars of the facials at the lovely Ciel Spa and my skin responded extremely well to the line.

WHAT:  Tourmaline gemstone is a semi-precious mineral stone well known for its incredible ability to aid in the detoxification process of the human body. It’s one of only a handful of minerals that have the ability to emit negative ions and far-infrared rays.

Tourmaline produces a detoxifying, cleansing effect on the nervous system and the organs and tissues of the body. It has been shown as a useful aid for improving circulation, reducing stress, improving brain alertness and mood, and activating the immune system. Negative ions are the cleansing molecules of nature.

You can’t smell, taste or see negative ions, but they are produced by nature in abundance only in very specific areas. Waterfalls, beaches and the forest are the biggest producers of negative ions. That is why we feel a sense of being uplifted in these areas. Negative ions are the way nature cleans the air and studies have shown that they improve our mood and brings a sense of euphoria. Tourmaline gemstones have the unique ability to release an abundance of negative ions.

Far-infrared rays are invisible rays of energy vibration that have the unique ability to penetrate all layers of the human physical body, reaching the tissues and muscles. Far-infrared ray energy is the same frequency as our body’s natural energy or ‘chi’, thus proper cellular function is activated. Far-infrared rays are neither heat nor hot rays, but warm vibration from solar energy. Conventional heat warms the air and only the surface of the skin. However, far-infrared rays penetrate deep into our bodies and vibrate our water molecules, creating heat within.

LING Skincare is available at Ciel Spa in the SLS Hotel at Beverly Hills, , Ciel – Spa at SLS Beverly Hills, located at 465 South LA Cienega Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90048 starting in May 2014. To make an appointment, please call 310-246-5577.
