• To look and be our very best, we would do well to avoid emotional, as well as environmental stress.

• We also need to reduce our toxic intake, and choose wisely when it comes to what we eat and what we “feed” our skin.

Page 12: “Best Facial” -- Chicago magazine, August 2012

Ideally, the products you use on your clients are organic and plant-based.

Why organic? You want the ingredients to be free of toxic fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides and to come from environmentally clean areas.

They should also be free of trans-fats, toxins, and chemical solvents.

Page 13: “Best Facial” -- Chicago magazine, August 2012

• I believe that products that use organic ingredients that come from whole food and other natural sources can be more effective, because the ratio of vitamins and other nutrients in them are more likely to work in harmony with our skin.

• Vitamins are made up of several different components – enzymes, co-enzymes, and co-factors– that must work together to produce their intended biologic effects

• Vitamins that are found naturally in whole foods come with all of their necessary components.

Page 14: “Best Facial” -- Chicago magazine, August 2012

Our systems are not designed to take advantage of one nutrient alone.

Synthetics aren’t something the body recognizes either.

Look for parsley, rose hips, or other plant names as ingredients rather than just an isolated chemical.

Beautiful Skin Starts from Within• The Greek physician Hippocrates (460 -

377 BC), often referred to as the "Father of Modern Medicine," was an

herbalist; one of his famous statements is "Let your food be your medicine, and

your medicine be your food."

• I deeply believe that organic skin care products can deliver dramatic and long

lasting results.

• What we put on our faces should be as safe and pure as the food we eat. It should be like a fresh meal for your

face!

Page 16: “Best Facial” -- Chicago magazine, August 2012

Probiotics

After being treated with antibiotics, eating processed foods, and the constant use of antibacterial soaps, many of us have stripped our bodies of these very important "digestive helpers."

A probiotic deficiency can lead to an imbalance in the digestive system, yeast overgrowth, and toxicity in the body and the skin.

We need to replenish our body with probiotics and enzymes on a regular basis with cultured foods like sauerkraut, yogurt, kefir.

Page 17: “Best Facial” -- Chicago magazine, August 2012

Weeds for Health and Beauty• Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale),

which we usually try to clear from our yards, can help correct skin problems.

• the roots and leaves of dandelion are extremely nutritious and are a valuable source of minerals (especially potassium), as well as vitamins A, B, C, and D.

• Sap or milk from dandelion stems has been used traditionally for many years around the world to lighten pigment spots and eliminate warts.

Page 18: “Best Facial” -- Chicago magazine, August 2012

Burdock

• Burdock (Arctium lappa), another famous weed, can be combined with dandelion tea to create a powerful cleansing and healing tonic.

• Burdock is a favorite among herbalists to treat acne.

• In Japan, burdock root is called gobo and is eaten as a vegetable. Burdock root rich in fiber, potassium, calcium, and amino acids.

Page 19: “Best Facial” -- Chicago magazine, August 2012

Oxidative stress, along with inflammation, are the main reasons for premature skin aging and discolorations.

• Every day our skin encounters free radicals in many different forms; environmental pollutants, ultraviolet rays, poor diet, emotional stress.

• We need antioxidants to protect our cells from the damaging effects of oxidation.

Page 20: “Best Facial” -- Chicago magazine, August 2012

Antioxidant rich foods that help restore the skin

• Red and black currants, raspberries, blueberries, pomegranate and sesame seeds.

• Grapes and red wine contain resveratrol, a “super antioxidant” with strong anti-aging properties.

Page 21: “Best Facial” -- Chicago magazine, August 2012

• Vegetables like spinach and kale, which

contain lutein, an antioxidant that helps hydrate the skin.

• Yellow and orange root vegetables, including carrots, sweet potatoes, pumpkins and squash. They are great

sources of beta-carotene.

• Broccoli, cranberries and apples contain

quercetin, an other powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent.

Page 22: “Best Facial” -- Chicago magazine, August 2012

Honey

• A 2004 study conducted by the University of California concluded that the honey contains as many antioxidants as oranges and strawberries.

Page 23: “Best Facial” -- Chicago magazine, August 2012

Proanthocyanidins - called OPC's for short. • These antioxidants reduce free radicals

and help restore sun damaged and aging skin.

• They also help strengthen capillaries.

• Foods that are rich in OPCs include: raisins, grapes, bilberries, cranberries, black currants, green tea, cocoa, and grape seeds.

Page 24: “Best Facial” -- Chicago magazine, August 2012

Carotenoids• One type of carotenoids, beta-carotene,

is known for its ability to convert into vitamin A in the body. This enhances immune system function and helps protect cells from DNA damage.

• We can benefit from them by including red, orange, dark green, and yellow fruits and vegetables into our diets like sweet potatoes, apricots, peaches, carrots, cantaloupe, pumpkin, and tomatoes.

Page 25: “Best Facial” -- Chicago magazine, August 2012

Polyphenols• According to an article in the American

Journal of Clinical Nutrition (Vol. 81, No. 1, 215S-217S, January 2005) more evidence shows that these compounds can help prevent the spread of a number of degenerative conditions.

• Most of fruits and vegetables contain some polyphenols, including green and black tea, red wine, onions, broccoli, greens, apples and blueberries.

Page 26: “Best Facial” -- Chicago magazine, August 2012

Glutathione (GSH) - has been called the master antioxidant. • It is well known that aging is

accompanied by a fall in GSH levels.

• No other antioxidant is as important to overall health as glutathione. It is the regenerator of immune cells and the most valuable detoxifying agent in the body.

• Glutathione can be found in goat's milk, whey protein, asparagus, avocado, parsley, and broccoli.

Page 27: “Best Facial” -- Chicago magazine, August 2012

Creating organic skin care formulations can be compared to cooking.

• You can chose between simple or sophisticated recipes.

• Two recipes for organic vegetable soup. One recipe calls for only potatoes and onions. The other includes more than 20 different vegetables.

• Both soups could be made up of certified organic vegetables, but would you still receive the same amount of nutrition from each soup?

Page 28: “Best Facial” -- Chicago magazine, August 2012

Seabuckthorn Oil

• Seabuckthorn oil is exceptionally rich in unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins, carotene, flavonoids, phytosterols, serotonin, amino acids, and trace elements.

• Traditionally the medicinal value of seabuckthorn oil lies in its ability to help regenerate and rejuvenate the skin and mucous membranes.

• It also helps heal sun damaged, irritated, dry, and itchy skin.

Page 29: “Best Facial” -- Chicago magazine, August 2012

Spirulina

• Spirulina – This blue-green algae provides an incredible blend of phytonutrients for the skin.

• Spirulina is a great source of essential fatty acids (EFAs) and gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), and also contains alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), linoleic acid (LA), vitamins B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (nicotinamide), B6 (pyridoxine), B9 (folic acid), vitamin C, D, and E.

Page 30: “Best Facial” -- Chicago magazine, August 2012

People of all ages want to smooth fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars. This can be achieved by “resurfacing” techniques that peel, exfoliate, and rejuvenate skin.

Page 31: “Best Facial” -- Chicago magazine, August 2012

• Skin Needling is also called “Facial Needling” or “Medical Needling”.

• The technique reduces the depth of wrinkles and fine lines on the face. It also reduces shallow depressed scars such as Chicken Pox or Acne scars.

• Facial needling is a natural skin rejuvenation method that fills and softens wrinkles and scars.

• The process creates hundreds of microscopic “pin pricks” to activate your body’s wound healing process.

• As your skin heals, it uses your own collagen to fill the “valleys” of wrinkles and scars naturally.

• Needling is also called Dry Needling, Dry Tattooing, Needle Abrasion, Needle Dermabrasion, Facial Mesotherapy, Multitrepannic Collagen Actuation (MCA), Percutaneous Collagen Induction (PCI), or Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT).

Page 32: “Best Facial” -- Chicago magazine, August 2012

• In 1997, South African plastic surgeon Des Fernandes, MD, began to explore the idea of increasing collagen production by inducing bleeding in the skin via hundreds of tiny pricks.

• Using devices with needles one to three millimeters long, physicians could pierce the dermis (which generates collagen and elastin) while leaving the epidermal layer relatively intact.

Page 33: “Best Facial” -- Chicago magazine, August 2012

• Usually only one session is necessary to produce new collagen that will last up to seven years, a patient needs to be fully sedated when three-millimeter needles are used and topically numbed before treatment with one millimeter needles.

• Patient may require up to a week to recover from a session with three-millimeter spikes; swelling and discoloration could last one day after treatment with one-millimeter needles.

Page 34: “Best Facial” -- Chicago magazine, August 2012

How Does Skin Needling Work?

The concept behind needling is the stimulation of new collagen production in your skin.

The dry needle causes micro-trauma and micro-inflammation.

Your body will respond by sending blood to the area for healing.

Page 35: “Best Facial” -- Chicago magazine, August 2012

Fibroblasts make and deposit new extracellular matrix with collagen and elastin.

• Repeated needling sessions gradually and continually build new collagen to fill-in the treated areas.

• The terms Collagen Induction and Collagen Induction Therapy or CIT are sometimes used to describe this process.

to polish, nourish and energize the skin.

Page 42: “Best Facial” -- Chicago magazine, August 2012

Slowly move the warm needle inside wrinkles and deep lines. This treatment is designed to cause

temporary micro-inflammation by slightly overheating the targeted area(s).

As the skin repairs itself new collagen builds up in the popularly dermis (the middle layer of the skin, just

below the surface).

Page 43: “Best Facial” -- Chicago magazine, August 2012

Wrinkles, lines, or depressed scars will fill in from the bottom up without the use of any artificial substances. Make

sure the temperature does NOT exceed two bars. You can repeat the

warm needle drawing two or three times inside the deepest lines.

Page 44: “Best Facial” -- Chicago magazine, August 2012

Apply Omega Serum. Two of the key ingredients, wild cod collagen and sea buckthorn oil, deliver a cocktail of natural vitamins, as well
