Sunless Tanning without the Fake Bake

August 30th, 2008

Sunless tanning has recently become a viable option.
How so and why is it important?

All humans have the basic desire to look good. Having a sun tan gives the feeling of health and vitality but it has associated risks. Sun baking and solarium tanning is still practiced all over the world with the resulting growth in the number of people suffering serious and permanent skin damage. Some skin damage results in death.

  • A sun tan is the skin’s first indication of sun damage.
  • Less than 20% of Americans wear sunscreen year-round.
  • Skin cancers occur three times more commonly than breast and lung cancers combined.
  • Over 1,000,000 new cases of skin cancer occur in the United States each year.

Herald Sun reporter Norrie Ross reports 30th August 2008..

THE mother of skin cancer victim Clare Oliver has welcomed the tanning industry’s admission that solariums are dangerous.In a major backflip, the tanning industry in Victoria admitted yesterday that solariums not only damaged the skin but were linked to an increase in skin cancer.

The Herald Sun further reports ….

The Australian Tanning Association, its former president Scott Meneilly, solarium chain Body Bronze International and franchise Tropical Sun Industries agreed not to make false and misleading claims about tanning and to inform customers of the risks of using a sunbed.

Now new sunless tanning products are available that give excellent results. What are some of the benefits?

  • Smooth all over tan
  • No sun damage risk
  • Applied with at home convenience
  • SPF 15, botanically-based self tanner

These sunless tanning products have been truly awesome for me. My family just went to the Bahamas, so I had to be extremely careful. I used BefoRE Sun Made in the Shade, Self Tanner, SPF 15 and came back and used the BefoRE No Sun Intended, Bronzing Powder and everyone thought it was a Bahamas’ tan. Thank you

Here are the results you can achieve.
Results in just 5 days

I’m a redhead and I don’t really tan.. I freckle!

My fair skin also hasbluish/purple undertsones.

This self tanner gives color, life, if you will, to my skin. I love it.

I used Made In the Shade Self Tanner, SPF 15 on one leg for just 5 days.

I was amazed at the even, sun-kissed results! After a week (7 days) of NOT reapplying it didn’t fade much.

Wrinkle Removers backed by Science says New York Times

August 20th, 2008

New York Times reporter, NICHOLAS BAKALAR (August 18, 2008) wrote an interesting article about how in the past sales people promised to smooth wrinkled skin with the style of a snake-oil salesmen.

He reports that “now there is strong evidence that certain kinds of treatment are effective. Over the past decade, researchers have been learning which treatments work, and why.”

The article comments on a recent review in The Archives of Dermatology. The article reviews three forms of treatments.

In that article David J. Leffell, a professor of dermatology and surgery at Yale who was not involved in the review said, that this study is “good science.”

He says:

Skin deteriorates as it ages, but its exposure to sunlight inhibits the ability of fibroblasts to produce collagen. The hands, face, neck and upper chest all suffer more than unexposed skin, and light-pigmented people wrinkle more readily than others. This damage, the authors write, is essentially an accelerated version of chronological aging. Ultraviolet radiation induces production of the same enzymes that degrade collagen with age.

Collagen fibers last as long as 30 years. But with age and ultraviolet exposure, they deteriorate and fragment, and fragmented collagen impairs the collagen-producing function of the fibroblasts that created it. As the fragmented collagen accumulates, new collagen production declines, the connections between the fibroblasts and the collagen weaken, and the skin, now lacking support, begins to wrinkle.

Do the benefits of these treatments outweigh the risks?

“It’s a matter of the kind of problem a person perceives and how he wants to deal with it,” Dr. Fisher said. “For these treatments, which have sound research behind them, and for people who want to improve their appearance, the benefits far outweigh any problems.”

The article makes the comment that the authors have no ties to companies that make skin care products, but the University of Michigan, where they teach, has patents on the use of matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors in the treatment and prevention of aging skin.

Anti Aging Skin Care Products-Beauty Products.

I am going to share the details on a product line, RE9 Advanced™ RE9™, which is truly waging a war against time. And to do that, you need to know the enemy. I am going to share with you what the enemy is and I’m going to share with you skin care products that address that enemy.

Let’s look at the aging process and what our goal is. We want prevention and protection, which are key elements to a youthful appearance. To get this, we must take a comprehensive skin care approach that addresses both intrinsic and actinic aging factors.

So that’s what I’m going to share with you today: how do we wage the war against time. Let’s look at intrinsic aging. Intrinsic aging is simply the ticking of the clock. It’s time. It is immutable law of the universe that matter deteriorates. So from the minute we are born to the minute we die, we are in a constant state of deterioration. Now I know that doesn’t sound very exciting, but that’s what’s going on. The interesting statistic there is that only 10% of the aging that we see is a by-product of the ticking of the clock.

So when you look at the 10%, what’s happening? Well, collagen and elastin production – that’s what gives our skin that flex, that firm look and appearance, collagen and elastin production slows down 65% between the ages of 20 and 80. Skin thins 6% every 10 years. So what that means is that its ability to hold water diminishes and that’s where you lose that supple appearance. It gets thin, it can’t retain and hold moisture, nor can it help retain and hold the moisture that it creates naturally. So it looks dry, dull and very, very mature.

Let’s talk about actinic aging – that 90%. That 90% that we can impact. It is a by-product of being exposed to the environment. In the environment, we have exposure to free radicals – free radicals which are unstable oxygen molecules are what break down skin cells – break down internal cells. So you want to take this comprehensive approach to a new level with anti-oxidants.

 RE9 Advanced™ is a proprietary concept with a US and Swiss patent pending.

These skin care products incorporate nine key elements in a comprehensive skin care system with functional formulation.

Now what that means to us is that we have taken key elements – we’ve not only taken the benefits of those key elements, but we’ve put them into formulations or base formulations that are highly functional, so that we get the most benefit out of that raw material. It’s easy to tag onto market hype and learn about raw materials that may add some benefit, but it’s more important to understand that benefit and then incorporate it into a formulation or a product that truly delivers that the best way possible. So not only do we have these nine elements that fight aging, we’ve put them into a comprehensive functional formulation regimen that makes it easy and definitely shows results.

Now let’s look at the “9” piece of this.  RE9 Advanced™nine key elements, all critical to the functional formulation process. Nanospheres - nanospheres are simply microscopic spheres that offer targeted release of beneficial ingredients deep into the skin’s surface. So, when you look at nanospheres and why we’ve incorporated them into these products, we want to target and deliver raw materials that truly work. And in this case, we are delivering anti-oxidant Vitamins A, C, and E.

Alpha-lipoic acid is also an antioxidant. What we want to do here is protect against oxidative stress. Let me give you a little bit of a visual here. If you cut an apple in half, and you put lemon juice, Vitamin C, on half of it, and let the other just sit out, what do you think would happen? The half that does not have lemon juice or Vitamin C citric acid would turn brown. That’s oxidative stress. If you take the half that has lemon juice on it, you‘ll see that it does not turn brown. That’s because that raw material, Vitamin C, ascorbic acid, citric acid, is protecting against oxidative stress.

AHA’s and BHA’s – what these are, are alpha hydroxy acids and beta hydroxy acids. Both these raw materials help skin cells turn over at a rapid pace. They are chemical exfoliators. And don’t let the word chemical scare you, because they’re made from natural fruit acids or salicylic acid – all natural raw materials. But what they do is, they help break down the glue that holds skin cells to the surface and so they release at a more rapid pace. It’s critical in the maintenance of a healthy pink fresh-looking skin that the cell turnover keep up with a rapid pace, so they are critical in a formulation to help, as we age, our ability to turn skin cells slows down. AHA’s and BHA’s will help that process turn over quicker.

Copper – copper is a trace mineral and copper is critical in the maintenance of a firm looking skin. It bolsters everything that helps the skin maintain a firm appearance. So it’s beneficial when you are trying to get a visually firm appearance in your skin, that you utilize raw materials that enhance that ability.

Cogic acid – cogic acid is a natural skin lightening agent. Now it’s not a skin whitener. It’s not an OTC or over-the-counter drug product that is going to bleach the skin. It’s simply a natural raw material that helps brighten and lighten dark spots on the skin, so you get a more vibrant appearance to the skin. So again, it’s a raw material, it’s natural and it helps brighten and lighten dark spots on the skin’s surface.

Peptides – peptides are critical piece of the fight in waging the war against the aging process. And what peptides are they are protein strands. And these protein strands, in a topical application, help the skin’s appearance by making the skin appear thicker when it’s healthier. It makes the skin appear more vibrant when it’s healthier. Peptides are one of the newest raw materials brought to the skin care arena. And combining that with the other nine key elements in a comprehensive approach in a targeted delivery system really enhances the skin’s ability to appear vibrant, to be visibly young and youthful.

Then we look at Stimutex and Alheven. And what these two raw materials do is help improve the skin’s ability to hold and retain moisture, to protect against transdermal water loss. It’s really, really important that as we age and the skin thins, that we do anything and everything that we can to encourage the skin’s ability to hold and retain moisture. These two raw materials – and you’ll see these functioning in a formulation that is much more in emollient, so that it sets up a protective barrier and allows the skin to hold and retain moisture. What this does is makes the skin appear more supple, more soft, more conditioned, more moisturized. Really two critical ingredients on aging mature skin.

And then we look at biohyrdia complex. Now, the biohydria complex has been part of the Arbonne line for many, many, many years. And what this is, is a proprietary blend of beneficial botanicals. And the whole purpose of this complex is to stay true, fundamentally, to our principles of herbal and botanical formulations, but also to soften and condition and smooth the skin.

So here we are – we’re taking our fundamental belief in skincare formulation, we’re adding science and we’re adding technology to deliver a product line that works against all aging factors. That’s why it’s revolutionary. That’s why we have a Swiss and a US patent pending. That’s why it’s very comprehensive in function and formulation. And that’s why you see results. What began with research has ended with results, and it is revolutionary. It’s  RE9 Advanced™.

Anti Aging Skin Care Products – Beauty Products Part 4.

June 11th, 2008

Anti Aging Skin Care Products-Beauty Products

Now let’s look at the Anti Aging Skin Care products themselves, because what we really wanted to do in function and formulation is offer a regimen of skin care products that works, that’s simple, that when used morning and evening, delivered the benefits in a pure, in a safe and in a beneficial way.

So, we looked at the raw materials – those nine key elements. How do we incorporate those in two different formulations to get the most out of them? Did you know that if you put alpha hydroxy acids and beta hydroxy acids in a very emollient heavy cream, whose purpose is to protect against transdermal water loss, that you’re not going to get any benefit from them at all? No, you want to put those types of raw materials into base formulations where they’re absorbed into the surface of the skin. That’s why you see these uniquely combined throughout the system in different formulations – to do and perform the way they were intended to perform at a maximum level.

Step 1: Renewing Geleé Cream Hydrating Wash.

It is an emollient cream-based gel cleanser. It is pH correct. It’s important in formulating a cleanser and doing it in a pH correct way, that you remove dirt and debris without destroying the skin’s natural barrier called the acid mantle.
It visibly renews the skin’s surface while RE9™ elements help protect against oxidative stress.

Step 2: Restoring Mist Balancing Toner.

A comprehensive toner that is pH correct that helps balance the skin, helps the skin maintain its balance, and delivers antiaging elements that help protect against oxidative stress or free radical exposure.

Step 3: Reactivating Facial Serum for day and for night.

This is a gel-based formulation. A very, very little amount in a high concentrated level of raw materials is absorbed into the surface of the skin very quickly. This is the product that you’re going to deliver those raw materials that increase cell proliferation, that help protect against oxidative stress, that encourage the skin’s own ability to produce collagen and elastin.

Step 4: Repair Corrective Eye Cream.

Repair Corrective Eye Cream visibly firms the skin. It moisturizers and it has corrective benefits so improves immediately what you see in the eye area. It helps to reduce the appearance of dark circles and puffiness.

Step 5: Reality SPF 8 Day Cream.

We all want to look young and beautiful as long as we can. So it’s important to understand that protection is key. And in reality, SPF 8 Day Cream, you are helping protect yourself against the sun.

Step 6 : Recover Night Cream.

We said earlier about protecting against transdermal water loss. In a night cream, this is why you’ll see a much heavier emollient cream. It doesn’t have sunscreens. And you’ll see those raw materials that are meant to set up a protective barrier on the surface of the skin. This helps protect against transdermal water loss. As we age our skin thins and our skin’s ability to hold moisture declines, so it’s important as we sleep to set up a protective barrier so the skin can re-moisturize itself, so that it can protect against transdermal water loss.

Reveal Facial Scrub.

I talked earlier about AHA’s and BHA’s, which are alpha hydroxy acids and beta hydroxy acids. And I talked about those being in a gel base, so that they can be targeted and delivered to the skin’s surface to increase cell proliferation or cell turnover. A chemical exfoliator like an AHA and a BHA, breaks down the glue that holds the skin cell together. And so it releases by nature of a chemical release of that glue that’s holding it down. In the case of Reveal Facial Scrub, it’s what is known as a mechanical exfoliator or a mechanical exfoliant. And what a mechanical exfoliant does is use mild abrasion to release dead skin cells.

Release Deep Pore Cleansing Mask.

Now this is a clay-based mask, and the purpose of this mask is two-fold. It’s 1, draw out impurities from the pores, and that’s what clay does when it dries, but it’s also incorporating key RE9™ elements that are adding benefits long term to the skin’s ability to protect itself. So a comprehensive approach to a cleansing program two to three times a week, in addition with the reveal facial scrub, you will ensure that you’re helping your skin maintain its youthful, healthy glow.

Reversing Geleé Transforming Lift.

This is a short-term effect but long-term, we’ve added RE9™ key anti-aging elements that help provide the skin the necessary elements to protect against the environment, to help its own ability to produce collagen and elastin – again, the form function of the skin which gives it its suppleness, its elasticity, its firm appearance. In addition, antioxidant Vitamins A, C, and E that help protect against oxidative stress.

So its a comprehensive product that has both short-term immediate benefits – visibly seeing an immediate lift and tightening of the skin, and also long-term anti-aging benefits that encourage the skin’s ability to retain its youthful appearance. This product can be used daily. It can be used in conjunction with the daily regimen. And it certainly adds benefit long-term, which is our product philosophy - pure, safe, and beneficial, but immediately you will see a tightening of the skin.

I know that’s a lot to take in, but I think the most important thing I want you to understand, that when Arbonne produces or formulates a product, we don’t just go out into the market with the latest hyped raw materials. We understand what we’re trying to fight, and in the case of anti-aging, we are trying to combat visible signs of aging just by protecting it against the very things that destroy it.

<>pIn our efforts to protect against those 90% of the visible signs of aging, we know protect against transdermal water loss, protect against UVA/UVB exposure, promote the skin’s own ability to produce collagen and elastin, protect the skin from thinning so dramatically that it can’t hold and retain moisture. If it is thin skin, put humectants into it that draw and retain moisture so it remains supple looking. This is what the whole line is focused around. Not just raw materials, but functional formulations that deliver the necessary ingredients to protect against 90% of the visible signs of aging.

Now when you hit on something so great as the NutriMinC™ RE9™ skin care system for facial skin care, why would you stop there when you can incorporate those same key elements in a body care system? It’s critical – the skin from your neck up is the same as your skin from the neck down. It needs protection, too, but it needs in a different form and function, recognizing that pore size is different, recognizing that hair follicle count is different, recognizing that the texture is different.

We can incorporate the same types of elements in different targeted delivery systems to deliver the same benefits to skin from the neck down. So, we’ve introduced a whole body skin care line into the NutriMinC™ concept so we can look great from head to toe.

Anti Aging Skin Care Products – Beauty Products Part 5

Anti Aging Skin Care Products–Beauty Products

Reactivating Body Serum.

Much like the day and night serum in the facial regimen, the body serum is formulated with those key elements that can be delivered in a gel based serum that target delivery into the surface of the skin.

This is where you’re going to see AHA’s and BHA’s.

This is when you’re going to see peptides.

This is when you’re going to see anti-oxidant Vitamins A, C, and E delivered into the surface of the skin to number

  1. help protect against oxidative stress,
  2. to target and deliver raw materials that encourage the skin’s own ability to produce collagen and elastin, and
  3. deliver raw materials that increase cell proliferation or cell turnover, so that the skin remains healthy and pink and glowy in its appearance.

This is what a serum based product will do in delivering those key elements will help the skin maintain a healthful, youthful, appearance.

Refinish Hydrating Body Lotion.

Why wouldn’t we just do one body product? I hope I’ve helped you understand that putting an AHA and a BHA in a heavy emollient cream won’t allow its delivery to the surface of the skin where it’s going to do its job. So you wouldn’t put it in a moisturizing body lotion whose purpose and intent is to set up a protective barrier and protect against transdermal water loss.

The layering effect of these two products is what gives skin its best defense against the environment and against the aging process.

Refresh Foaming Body Wash.

Now this is a luxurious, gel-based cream body wash that gently cleans the skin in a pH correct way without stripping or drying or disrupting the acid mantle, the pH, the natural pH protective barrier of the skin. It is comprehensive. It is complete.

It is everything you need to take care of your skin from the neck down. From head to toe. RE9 Advanced™ is your best defense against the aging process. It is the revolution and it is what began with research that truly has ended with results.

Now, before I close, I wanted to also focus on the fact, because I’m sure you’ve learned now that what we’re exposed to on a daily basis that causes and creates the aging process to accelerate is avoidable.

You’ve learned that the nine key elements in  RE9 Advanced™ wage the war against time.

You’ve learned that functional formulations incorporating these key anti-aging elements is what truly delivers the results. It is a complete and comprehensive regimen of skin care products that delivers…

pure, safe, and beneficial results.

Don’t forget that men have skin, too. And the fundamental concepts by which we’ve formulated  RE9 Advanced™ has expanded and is expanded into a complete line of products for men. It’s the same concept, the same fundamental nine key elements. It is the same protection against oxidative stress, but it’s formulated in functional formulations that work for men.

So, for all ages, men and women, who are trying to combat the visible signs of aging in a healthful, beneficial, and safe way, RE9 Advanced™ is the revolution. It is the product that protects. It is the product that began with research and truly ends with results.

Go to my website if you would like to view more details about these wonderful, refreshingly new, pure, safe and beneficial products. We have womens, mens and babies products, you can order on-line. Don’t forget the 45 day money back guarantee.
