OXYGENTIX healing, coverage foundation- awesome enough for every day.

July 26, 2013

Slider-img3

I've been crazy curious about OXYGENTIX ever since seeing it in just about every single high-end, top-notch aesthetician and physican's office over the past few years. It was previously available in only plastic surgeons' and dermatologists' offices as a concealer for patients fresh from laser treatments but it's so amazing that it's now become the “go-to” make-up foundation for Hollywood studios.  

         Why?  Here are some of the benefits of Oxygenetix Foundation:

 

·      Doesn’t smear or smudge due to perspiring or exposure to humidity
·      Water-resistant
·      Contains 25 SPF for UVA/UVB protection
·      Safely camouflages and soothes laser work, surgical scars and even third degree burns
·      Doesn’t rub off on clothing (13 times more transfer resistant than other make-up lines)
·      Stays on all day so no need to reapply
·      Doesn’t clog pores
·      Oil-free & fragrance-free
·      Hypoallergenic and non-irritating to sensitive skin
More benefits? Sure!

Besides being the first truly breathable makeup, the foundation contains Ceravitae Complex, a patent-pending formula proven  to increase oxygen uptake, stimulate skin cell production and s help promote the healing process following most procedures.  

Oxygenating Foundation gives complete and natural coverage to even the most sensitive and compromised skin. When applied independently or over Oxygenetix moisturizer, Oxygenetix foundation acts as a virtual second-skin, allowing it to breath with no occlusive oils to interfere with the bodies natural healing process. 

This second skin technology creates a delivery system allowing Ceravitae to:

1) speed connective tissue reconstruction

2) systematically build collagen layers

3) reinforce natural skin healing.

 

The Results:

1) Less down time

2) Complete, undetectable coverage from day one

3) reduced scar tissue

4) continuous protecting with continued use.

 

Oxygenetix Foundation is also: * Water Resistant up to 90 minutes * SPF 25 * 10 Blendable, Color-corrective shades * Transfer Resistant * Hypo allergenic * Completely non-irritating, even to acne, rosacea, psoriasis, or eczema.

It's amazing to watch it work it's magic because it is so light yet it provides amazing coverage.  So why not wear it everyday?  

 

 

 

Summer skincare crushes: MOOR NEYDHARTING Science & Nature become art

July 25, 2013

MoorHeroPhoto-lowresRGB

Neydharting Moor is the only skincare line in the world that uses the peat and peat water from the famous Neydharting Moor – both of which contain over 1000 naturally-sourced botanicals, herbs and nutrients – 300 of which have been proven to have anti-aging properties. 

By combining these natural botanicals with scientifically advanced peptides, Neydharting Moor Skin & Body Care deeply hydrates and visibly improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. 

The products are used in treatments at the world famous Neydharting Healing Spa and are so effective that they have been endorsed and subsidised by health care plans in five European countries.  Today, the Neydharting Healing Spa located at the Moor is sold out two years in advance.

About the NEYDHARTING MOOR

30,000 years ago, as the Ice Age receded and the continents emerged, a lake was formed in Austria.  Over the years, ice and water swept into this lake filling it with hundreds of herbs, botanicals, flowers and reeds.  Closed off from the outside world, this rich body of water eventually transformed itself into Neydharting Moor.

As early as 800 B.C. the Celts discovered the Moor’s magic.  They drank and soaked in the waters – using the black mud as a medicine that was believed to have miraculous healing powers.  In 1525 Paracelsus – the famous pioneer of chemistry and modern medicine – believed that he had found in this Moor the ‘Quinta Essentia’: the five essential elements  that remedy illness and engender health.  The Moor’s mud came to be prized as a beauty therapy and European nobility built villas and spas on its shores.  Louis XIV, Napolean and Josephine all became Moor devotees, indulging in its precious gifts.

By the 18th century the spas or ‘cure houses’ at Neydharting Moor had become so popular that other spas began springing up throughout Europe .  But, imitation was impossible.  Nothing on Earth could compare to the geophysical phenomenon known as the Neydharting Moor.

 

The Neydharting (pronounced like ‘nide’-‘harting’) Moor offers:

A pro collection with products only available during professional spa treatments

The Essential Skincare collection that consists of products suitable for all ages, including younger skin

The Advanced Skincare collection, which is best suited for women over 35

Body Care collection with only one product to date, an Intense Body Cream.

Kat BURKI’S SIGNATURE CREAM IN Avocado & CUCUMBER – Too divine

July 19, 2013

Avocado and Cumber Body Cream
Is there such a thing as smelling TOO GOOD?  

Seriously, is it possible for a cream to be so divinely fragrant that it renders me helpless?  Peeps, I'm under a crazy scent spell like no other with Kat Burki's Signature Cream in the Avocado Cream & Cucumber scent ($62).

It's almost, too amazing.

I'm so transported by the scent that it's all I can think about. I am sitting here sniffing my arms all day. Honestly I don't know how to describe something this heavenly.  I was blown about by the Tuberose perfume and now this cream is taking my senses to new levels.

I want to eat it, bathe in it, roll around in it and make furniture out of it. 

Alas, it's simple a nourishing body cream, so I'm gonna have to calm the heck down and just deal with a few dabs a day so I can get on with my life.

I would say give this to your enemies so they will lose their minds in ecstasy.  But then everyone would fall in love with them because they smelled so good. So scratch that idea and treat yourself or someone you love to a whiff of heaven.  

98% Natural/70% Organic

Proprietary Organic Herb Blend, Organic Barbadensis Leaf Juice (Aloe), Organic Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower Oil), Glyceryl Stearate, Kosher Vegetable Glycerin, Octyl Palmitate, Organic Cocos Nucifera (Coconut Oil), Theobro

Pamper your skin with a silk embrace, in this ultra-rich crème that leaves skin lightly fragranced and moisturized.

  • Organic Herb Blend strengthens skin and builds elasticity, while softening and restoring moisture content.
  • Grapeseed & Tamanu Oils fades stretch marks and appearance of scars through essential fatty acids.
  • Cocoa Butter contains Omega-3 fatty acids and Vitamin E to help reduce scarring and restores moisture.

 

(side note, the packaging is exquistie and the box top is now upside down on my desk and holding Post It's and Biore Strips)
