ProSkincare Products Guide

The saying goes, “The eyes are the window to the soul”. And if that holds true, are your eyes in need of a touch up or even a complete overhaul? Our facial expressions and body language convey to the world our true feelings and intentions. As we grow old, the twinkle we once possessed loses some of its glimmer and is muted by visible signs of aging around our eyes. Is is possible to regain the vibrant luster that our eyes once had? The answer to that question is…”Absolutely!”.

Let’s use an old house as an example. This aging home has magnificently, beautiful windows beckoning all visitors to take a closer look inside. But the rest of the house is in bad shape. The paint has faded and is severely weathered having cracks and chips. The wood framing around the windows is rotten. The mortar between the bricks has begun to deteriorate. This once magnificent home has fallen into distress from years of neglect.

If you haven’t guessed it already, this home represents the signs of aging on your face due to overexposure to the sun’s UV rays, poor diet, lack of exercise, and maybe even a smoking addiction. Just like a home can be renovated, you can tap into your body’s rejuvenative powers with a corrective eye cream treatment and little bit of direction.

As one ages, collagen production, a major contributor to healthy looking skin, decreases in the body. For women, this decrease in collagen production goes into free-fall during menopause. Preventing collagen loss and stimulating the production of new collagen is important in maintaining healthy looking skin. Here’s where a specially formulated corrective eye cream will prove beneficial.

As mentioned before, collagen synthesis is an essential building block in having radiantly, beautiful skin. Ascorbyl Palmitate, is a revolutionary compound created by joining Vitamin C, known for its antioxidant talents, and Palmitic Acid. Vitamin C plays a key role in stimulating your body’s production of new collagen. As your natural collagen production is sparked, it quickly brings back your skin’s softness, strength and elasticity.

Since stimulating collagen synthesis does not happen overnight, another breakthrough eye cream ingredient called Silicon Dioxide hides your fine lines, wrinkles, and crow’s feet until your body can diminish their appearance on its own. The human eye cannot actually see a wrinkle. What the eye really detects is the shadow created by the wrinkle. Silicon dioxide comes in the form of billions of microscopic 3-D crystals that refract light resulting in the disappearance of the wrinkle.

In conclusion, the best eye cream treatments are going to at least have Silicon Dioxide and Ascorbyl Palmitate as active ingredients to fight off the signs of aging. Another anti aging ingredient that would be helpful is Acetyl Hexapeptide-3, or AH3 for short. AH3 is the latest, highly recognized alternative to Botox injections sweeping the skin care industry. There is a product that contains all 3 of the aforementioned “super” ingredients and its called LifeCell. LifeCell is an all-in-one anti wrinkle cream, firming cream, 24-hour moisturizer, age-spot reducer, corrective eye cream treatment, lip-plumper and make-up base!

What type of skin care product works best for getting rid of black heads??? They are annoying and I want them off!!!! How???

Also to whiten my teeth…whats the best solution?

for regular zits, proactiv is great. try it and see if it helps your blackheads, but in the meantime…
when I was in high school I used this Mint Julep Mask by Queen Helene. I think you can get it at rite aid and walgreens. It is a thick clay mask that sucks the oil from your pores. It worked great. It dries on your face and you can see spots where it has sucked the oil from your pores!
Great stuff, it’s an old fashioned product (my mom used to use it back in her day) but it’s still around for a reason!
The crest whitestrips work good for your teeth.

I am 22 years old and have normal skin. I get a few zits every once in awhile but do not get bad breakouts often. My question is what are the Best Skin Care Products to be using? My family has great skin, so do I still need to be using expensive products? If so what type should I be using? If I don’t need expensive products what are some good over the counter products? I need information about cleansers, moisturizers, and anything else I should use. Thanks!

For your age and skin type I would recommend Arbonne Intelligence 5 Step system for face. It is a natural, botanically based, swiss-formulated skin care system. It is ideal for young skin (from about age 16-36). The moisturizer is self-adjusting, so that you get the amount your skin needs, without being over-moisturized. The eye cream is FANTASTIC! The cleanser and pH balancing Toner are a must. And there is also a facial scrub to use twice a week for that ‘deep cleaning and exfoliating’. These Arbonne products contain no mineral oil, no petroleum products, no animal or animal by-products and no chemical fragrances.
Most over the counter products actually have ingredients in them that will ultimately harm your skin. One ingredient, mineral oil, is in 98% of all cosmetics and moisturizers, but has been found to be the second leading cause of premature aging of the skin. The molecules in mineral oil are too large to penetrate the skin (which is what the manufacturers had wanted it to do to moisturize), so they sit on top of your skin like a film of plastic wrap…this ’seals’ the pores, so that your skin cannot breathe, and toxins cannot be released.
You are very lucky to have been blessed with great skin, so take care of it and don’t ruin it by using damaging products. You may have to pay a little bit more, but isn’t your skin and your health worth it? Feel free to email me if you have any other questions.
