Collagen Repair with Apple Stem Cells :: Elite Platinum Crème from Elite Therapeutics

February 7, 2013

Elite Platinum Crème from Elite Therapeutics

Winter is upon us folks! Tired, dull, cracked and flakey skin gettin you down? Turns out there's more to to do with an apple a day to keep the doctor away that just eating it. Check out ELITE PLATINUM CREME, a fabulously divine product that uses APPLE STEM CELLS to bump up the anti-aging factor. I used this straight up for weeks and my skin was ga ga glowing seriously. It's rich, you don't need much and it lasts long too.

BASICS: Fruit-derived stem cell technology with penta-peptides, natural Vitamin E and Hyaluronic Acid Crosspolymer provide collagen and elastin sythensis along with DNA repair.

Elite Platinum Crème addresses the multiple signs of aging at the cellular level – where the most damage is done – and the most gratifying results can be attained.

Created by renowned and Board-Certified Radiation Oncologist Dr. Kevin L. Schewe, this skin care line like no other.

“Through his years of extensive clinical cancer care, personal research, and testing of various skin care products, Dr. Schewe became absolutely convinced that Vitamin E technology forms the cornerstone of protection, maintenance, and repair of damaged skin”.

Combining the highest quality ingredients, exclusive blends of complexes and compounds, Elite Theraputics was born. It is also paraben-free, hormone-free, phthalate-free, cruelty-free, and fragrance-free.

Progressive ingredients include:

Apple Stem Cell Technology: Derived from Swiss Apples, PhytoCellTec™ is a cellular suspension which rapidly stimulates and renews healthy skin cells while slowing the chronological aging of skin, particularly in the sensitive facial and eye areas. All-natural apple stem cells are clinically proven to reduce size, depth and intensity of wrinkles. This “nature plus science elixir” infused with youth mimicking proteins, literally promotes skin immunity, while also helping to preserve the healthy look and vitality of skin.

Penta-Peptide Complex™: A potent combination of five anti-aging protein peptides specifically targeted to help improve dermal hydration, elastin proliferation and DNA protection. Strengthening the extra-cellular matrix, these specialized peptides serve as free radical scavengers and hydration boosters. Blended with various alternative amino acid peptides, the complex enhances the effectiveness of stem cell activity and provides deep-penetration for superior anti-wrinkle effectiveness and heightened collagen synthesis.

E Factor-8 Complex™: Comprised of all eight naturally occurring Isomers of Vitamin E, the Tocopherol and Tocotrienol structures are the most complete and pure forms of Vitamin E. Serving as essential nutrients the body craves, especially when deprived or under distress, pure Vitamin E is one of the most potent antioxidants and protectors against free radical damage.

Hyaluronate Acid Crosspolymer: An incomparable ingredient for hydrating the skin and reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines to give skin a healthy, plump, smooth and glowing appearance. With the ability to hold five times the water binding capacity of hyaluronic acid, this ingredient plumps the skin on a molecular level.

Price is $195 and available at www.elitetherapeutics.com

This is not your granny's apple stem cell creme!!

New Year, New You, New Skin! Dr. Harold Lancer Gives Us The 411 On What To ‘Toss, Keep And Buy’ In 2013

January 30, 2013

I actually personally really LOVE these tips. I took a peek at the loofah I was scrubbing my bikini line with and it was GROSS!!! TOSSED!!

Of course I had to make sure you guys got the scoop too. READ ON!!

‘Dermatologist to the Stars’ Dr. Harold Lancer, who shares 3 very important steps to love the skin you’re in this year.

Treating Hollywood A-listers on a regular basis in his Beverly Hills dermatological practice, Dr.Lancer knows better than anyone what it takes to achieve glowing, healthy, beautiful skin – but your bathroom counter is where it all starts. So clean your cabinets and invest in new products, and you’ll start to see a glowing 2013!

1. TOSS all cleansing brushes, cloths, loofa and pads. Skin-cleaning ‘tools’ are difficult to maintain, regardless of efforts. “After continuous use, brush bristles wear down and become softer and less effective”, says Dr. Lancer, “which means it’s less likely to deep clean. Cloths and brushes potentially harvest bacteria.” Overall, he feels they are unnecessary – with the right exfoliating product, fingers do the trick.

2. KEEP products containing rice extracts and rice derived ingredients. Rice extract is not only high in antioxidants but also anti-inflammatory (which means lower allergy potential). Rice-derived ingredients also offer and maintain anti-aging and moisturizing benefits for both short-term and long-term hydration to the skin.

3.BUY a skin-conditioning tool, like Dr. Lancer’s NEW Microcurrent Power Boost. This breakthrough hand-held vibrating device (the first of its kind) is specially developed using a pure Geranium-plated head which when glided over skin (in an upward motion over the cheek, chin, forehead and neck areas) increases blood circulation, and helps moisturizers and serums penetrate the layers of skin at deeper, more effective levels. It also boosts anti-aging benefits. The result is a more firm, refined, and luminous-looking complexion.

Lancer Skincare Microcurrent Power Boost, $225

GLOW Bio by Kimberly Snyder and Groomed-LA meet!

December 28, 2012

I was a fan of Kimberly Snyder before meeting her. I had read her book The Beauty Detox Solution. I agreed with much of what I read
(except my body seems to tell me I need to eat meat). I admired that she was a smart and beautiful businesswoman. When GLOW Bio opened recently in West Hollywood, I immediately wanted to get a hold of Kimberly for a write up on the
store. Weeks later I found myself exchanging emails with her publicist
and setting up a time to go in.

My meeting with Kimberly @ GLOW fell on a cold rainy day in LA (a rarity here). Immediately upon walking in the bright, airy space I was greeted by friendly staff and saw Kimberly chatting with a customer in the store. Above the registers is a large menu boasting organic smoothies, cold-pressed juices, organic loose-leaf and fresh teas, organic, shade-grown coffee. Located on trendy Melrose Ave the shop has tables to sit, sip and chat in. There is an outdoor patio seating space which Kimberly plans to offer monthly classes led by experts in the fields of health,
beauty, wellness, meditation and spirituality. An eco-chic respite, GLOW
relies on sustainable, energy-efficient practices such as composting, and houses its products in
compostable, non-leachable, high-grade recyclable packaging materials.
The shop uses LED lighting, and the tables are made from re-planed wood.

When we sat down and spoke it was obvious right off the bat that Kimberly is not only down to earth and easy to talk but she truly radiates health. One can't help but notice the sheen in her hair, the glow to her
skin. She emulates a healthy lifestyle. She offered me a drink of my choice. I was cold from the rain and settled on an organic almond milk mocha
(very good), she sipped her infamous GGS (Glowing Green Smoothie). We
talked about everything ranging from her travels to Thailand, China, India and Africa that fueled her journey in health and nutrition to our favorite local yoga spots. We talked about the unhealthy focus on women's weight which leads to starvation, deprivation, frail, wry hair and parched skin just to begin. It makes perfect sense at a closer glance: a lifestyle of starvation will only result in robbing women and men of our innate, natural GLOW. Kimberly is careful to emphasize the
importance of incorporating smoothies and juices to our diet as opposed to
substituting real food for them. She does not believe in juicing alone –
either do I. From everything I have experienced first hand and read
juicing alone leaves our blood sugar and insulin level on a dangerous at-any-moment can crash and burn slope.

A press release I received in my inbox reads "For Kimberly, health
and beauty isn’t about cutting calories – it’s about nourishing your
body with the finest nutrients available." Turns out this isn't just media hype. Kimberly walks and walk. She opened GLOW as a channel
to provide direct access to the essential nutrients and lifestyle she follows and believes we can as well benefit from.

Kimberly is a very cool girl who happens
to hang out and cook for celebrities. She is without pretention. As I left GLOW headed back to my office, she suggested I take a GGS (chock full of romaine lettuce, spinach, celery, apple, pear, banana and lemon) to go.

Almost like a mother giving a quick last suggestion to her child walking out the door. Kimberly reminded me to "chew my juice and smoothies" in order to adequately break down the nutrients and enzymes and making it easier for our bodies to absorb.

Post-GLOW I was inspired, excited and actually hungry for greens! Kimberly's nutrition plan is a slow, steady and achievable one. I didn't leave feeling crazed and prepared to cut every trace of sugar, grain, and flour from my diet. I did leave feeling more mindful of what I eat and with an increased focus on vegetables and fruit in my diet. I also left with a new neighborhood hang to suggest to friends and family. If you are in the area, I highly recommend stopping in to GLOW.

GLOW bio is located at 7473 Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood (cross street Gardner).

Scientific Organics / Kombucha Cleanser

December 24, 2012

Extreme environmentalists beware: the word organic usually turns me off. Organic skincare? Why? I want wrinkle fighting, under eye bag blasting, slimming, toning, hell if I could laser myself on a daily basis, I just might. Needless to say I was less than excited when I received my green bottle of Scientific Organics Kombucha Cleanser.

Isn't Kombucha something to drink for digestion not foam up on my face?

Upon perusing the press release, my eyes fall on: Available at Miraval, Trump International, Wynn, Caesar's Palace and Carneros Inn. Whoa, whoa wait one minute. My eyebrows raise, I am interested. Apparently that overpriced drink we guzzle down may work wonders for our skin too.

Upon further perusing of press release reveals:

**Kombucha: a fermented tea know for its many medicinal uses. The fermentation yields a culture known as "scoby" which produces a range of organic acids like glucuronic acid, gluconic acid, lactic acid, acetic acid, butyric acid, malic acid and usnic acid. It also produces vitamins B and C, as well as amino acids, and enzymes. Benefits of kombucha in skincare include:

Hydrates and corrects the PH of the skin.
Minimizing visible signs of aging, tightens pores, diminishes fine lines and blemishes.
Natural sun shield.
Unsurpassed burn remedy.
Refines and balances irregular skin tones.
Effective in soothing skin ailments such as eczema, psoriasis, precarotosis, rashes, rosacea.
Naturally anti-bacterial and anti-oxidant.
Reduces swelling.

I read even MORE ingredients: grape stem cells, spirulina, goji berry, white and green tea, aloe vera, organic pine bark extract and the list goes on… More importantly this cleanser is affordable ($34 for 4 oz.) and left my skin clean, tight and feeling fresh. Never mind any resemblance to a hip hop track, my vote is YES! Try this goodie.

Bonus feel good humanity points: With every Scientific Organics retail sized item sold emerginC will plant a tree with Plant-It 2020, a non profit founded by the late singer John Denver (ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH=LOVE).

Ok, fine maybe I am a bit of a tree hugger after all.
