Healthy Skin 101

Anti aging expert Dr. Anoop Chaturvedi shares the benefits and research on Skincerity.

I stumbled upon some before and after photos of people who are on meth.  It  seems to dramatically speed up the aging process.  If more teens saw these photos perhaps it would help them to think twice before using.

Take a look at just a few of the before and after photographs.

I’ve never been around anyone who does drugs so I wasn’t really familiar with the visible effects of meth.  After a bit of research this is what I found out.

The skin problems that can result from Methamphetamine use is:

• Acne can appear.
• Sores can take longer to heal.,
• Grayish leathery texture to the skin.
• The skin loses its luster and elasticity.
• The user can end up appearing years, or even decades older.
• Increased sweating
• Open sores and skin ulcers caused by repetitive or compulsive skin picking. causing excoriations and ulcers.
• Rashes.

I thought the years of illness I experienced aged me dramatically.  But boy,  it didn’t age me nearly as much as the meth aged these people.

Well it’s been a couple of weeks now since my son began using Skincerity as an acne treatment. And thankfully it has been a huge success.

His skin looks dramatically better.   Sure, he still has some residual redness that will take some time to heal but that redness is fading. There has been a dramatic difference in the number of new zits he is getting.  In fact, I’m not even sure he is getting any new ones.

I recall one that I thought he a new one.  But I found out later that he had been a little impatient and squeezed it and that is why it looked so bad.   I told him, “You shouldn’t have done that.  It will take weeks to heal now!”  But I was wrong.  He put some Skincerity on it that night and the next day I could hardly tell it had been there. The day before it was really red and swollen.  By the next morning it was flat with just a little redness.

A few days ago he walked into my office and said, “Mom.  Did you know that over 80% of teens have some form of acne.  That means there are a lot of kids out there that are self-conscious about the way they look.”   I’m glad to know that he realizes now that he was in the majority when in came to acne.  Sadly though, before Skincerity, he did have a made case of acne.  But…

Thanks to Skincerity my son is no longer feeling so self-conscious about the way he looks.  He is feeling more confident.  And I have to say he looks so darn handsome.

Again, I should have taken some before photos.  Perhaps I can find one from a family gathering or something.  If so I’ll put up some before and after photographs, or another blog post.

So not only is Skincerity great for my aging skin.  It’s great for his acne.

I made a few mistakes as I began using Skincerity…

I Missed The Eye Area: I Failed To Use It As An Eye Treatment

On about day seven or so of my Skincerity experiment I noticed the wrinkles around my eyes seemed to be so prominent.  It wasn’t that they were worse.  In fact, they were the same.  But in comparison to the  rest of my skin (which was beginning to look so much younger) my eyes looked dramatically older.   I had not been applying Skincerity around the eyes.

I wanted to reduce the wrinkles around my eyes.  In fact, that was one area on my face that showed the signs of aging the most.  However, I’ll admit I was a little nervous about applying Skincerity around the eyes.  In fact,  I’m not even sure if the manufacturer recommends it.   Probably not.  But  I don’t want my eyes to be left out of the miracle anti-aging cure I’d found in Skincerity.  So now I  simply close my eyes, apply the product, and wait for the product to flash-dry before opening my eyes.  As long as I leave my eyes closed while it the flash-drying process works I am fine.

I Missed The Neck As Well and My Aging Neck Was Now Obvious

About that same time I noticed that my neck also looked noticeably older in comparison to my face.   I heard once that the neck is the first area that shows the signs of aging in women, so I don’t know why I didn’t apply it to my neck.  But I didn’t.

I began applying Skincerity to my neck and it is now, I am happy to say, looking much better.

But…

Didn’t Apply The Skincerity Down the Neck Far Enough

About seven days after I began applying the product to my neck I noticed that about 2/3 of the way down my neck was starting to look pretty good.  But then there was the bottom 1/3 of my neck!

It looked horrible.

So I began applying Skincerity to my full neck,  and I’m happy to say that aging neck now seems to have reversed the aging process.   I should have taken a picture of it.

Which brings me to the final mistake I’ve made…

I Failed To Take Before And After Photographs

I admit.  I thought about it.

But then I didn’t really want people to see the before picture.  But now I really wish I had done it anyway.

We’ll I’ve been using Skincerity now for two weeks. I’ve used it faithfully every day, except for the two nights I was out of town and left my bottle of Skincerity behind. And I have been astounded at the results.

Here’s What I’ve noticed Skincerity Has Done for Me

I Have an Overall Reduction of the Lines on My Face.

Wrinkles on my face have all seen a dramatic reduction.

Improved Skin Tone and Tightening of Skin

My skin is simply toned much more.  I no longer feel like I need that face lift that I had really been wanting.

Age Spots Have Begun to Diminish

I’ve had a problem with some discoloration on the right side of my face.  I’ve got an area on the right side that is quite larger, but not quite as dark.  And a large spot on my right temple.  It was bad enough that it was visible even with makeup.  Thanks to Skincerity those spots have begun to diminish.  The age spots are lightening and I’m developing a more even skin tone.

Acne Breakouts are Gone

I’m in my forties and still suffer from acne.  There just seems something unfair about suffering from both acne and wrinkles.   But since Ive started using Skincerity my acne breakouts are non-existent.  Good bye wrinkles and acne!

Pore Size Has Shrunk

The pores on my face have tightened leaving a much more even skin.

Softening Of The Skin

My skin feels so much softer!  In fact, I don’t ever recall my skin feeling like this.  Sure it probably did when I was a baby, but hey I can’t remember back that far.

I’ve had allergies which has led to puffy eyes.  The skin around my eyes had began to droop.   Since applying it around my eyes the skin is firmer with a dramatic softening of the wrinkles.

All in all I LOVE Skincerity.

Try a bottle of Skincerity for yourself.

Anoop Chaturvedi

I’m finally getting around to posting some of the information I gathered from Dr. Chaturvedi’s presentation at the NuCerity conference last week.

I really enjoyed listening to Dr. Chaturvedi.   Primarily because he’s one of the world’s premier physicians on anti-aging.  He is a research scientist and the founder of the society of Antiaging Medicine and Research (AMAR – India) which provides educational, clinical, and research support for physicians. He also sits on the board for NuCerity International.

Here’s some of the information Dr. Chaturvedi shared:

Perhaps you remember from your high school science class that one of the primary functions of  the skin is to protect the body from outside attack.   It prevents free radical damage from the outside.  In order to do that job effectively it needs two things:  Water & Oxygen.

Water and oxygen, the basic building blocks of life, are essential for healthy skin.   Dr. Chaturvedi said Skincerity helps supply the skin with both hydration and oxygen.   In fact, your body’s own moisturizing factor is the most important ingredient.  Skincerity works in conjunction with your own skin.  He said, “It is the skin to the skin.”

Skincerity helps protect Filaggrin which helps keep your skin moist. Filaggrins  are filament-associated proteins which bind to keratin fibers in epithelial cells.  People who have developed truncation mutations in their  filaggrin gene code are strongly predisposed to a eczema, or severe dry skin.

Skincerity uses a  unique delivery system, the world’s only roll-on breathable mask, and uses a very advanced technology.  It is part of the science of keeping you young and healthy.

Skincerity contains grape seed extract and vitamin E which helps to create brighter, healthier, baby like skin.

It helps to:

1. Cleanse
2. Replenish
3. Exfoliates – Aging cells don’t slough off easily on their own.
4. Amplifies
5. Moisturizes

The purpose of the medical grade acetone is:

• It kills bacteria.
• Flash evaporates in seconds.
• Helps to create the barrier that the oxygen can pass through.
• Only Exfoliates the top layer.
• Oxygen-transmitting performations in the barrier.
• Has a Neutral pH
• The acetone does not remain in contact with the skin.  It is only on the skin for a few seconds.
• It cleanses and flash dries the mask.

I thought this was very interesting:  Acetone is naturally present throughout the  human body at measurable levels. In fact, acetone is made in the body.  It is in food including many vegetables such as peas.  Acetone is a normal by-product of fatty acid metabolism in our body.  Acetone was found to be not toxic by the National Institute of Health.

Dr. Chaturvedi said they are also having great results treating scars with Skincerity.

Dr. Chaturvedi ended with this question and it’s answer:

Who gets more of your skin care products – you or your pillow?

With Skincerity you do!

Today, day 2 of the NuCerity VIP Event, began with a keynote presentation by Connie Podesta. Connie teaches people how to turn obstacles into meaningful and productive opportunities.  She’s an author, speaker, comedienne, professional counselor and much more.

Most of today’s speakers dealt with the ins-and-outs of a Nucerity business and wouldn’t really be of interest to most readers of this blog.

We did however…

hear from one speaker whose comments would be of interest to anyone wanting to take better care of their skin and that was the presentation on the science behind Skincerity done by Dr. Chaturvedi.   Again, just like the the licensed esthetician’s presentation, it deserves a separate post as well.

Lunch, and breakfast today  were again provided by NuCerity.  Again the food was fantastic.   And when we returned to the conference room we had a complimentary bottle of Skincerity waiting for us. Yeah!  My skin seemed to cry out.

I was really missing my daily Skincerity treatment the last few days.

My husband and I have attended lots of conferences over the years and we can easily say this is the classiest conference we have ever been to.

To top it off, every NuCerity representative who attended will be mailed seven complimentary bottles of Skincerity.  Amazing considering that the event was only $198.00 and that was for two people.

The conference ended at 4:30.

We then went to dinner at a fantastic Mexican restaurant with a group of about 30 people.   And then spent time in the hotels lounge just visiting with other Skincerity representatives, and the companies founders.

Tomorrow Craig is heading back home.  Me – I’m heading to Austin.  I’ve got someone there that I really want to try the Skincerity product.  I’ll fly back to Salt Lake from there.

After spending a restful night of sleep at the Continental Hotel in Dallas we awoke to attend Day 2 of  the NuCerity VIP Event.  First up -  breakfast provided by NuCerity.  It was a wonderful continental breakfast.  We dined on fresh fruit, muffins, croissants, and juice.  There was no going hungry at this continental breakfast.

We spoke to David Dillingham and since I was really regretting that I had left my bottle of Skincerity at home so I took advantage of the opportunity to ask him if it was going to be possible to get some Skincerity while I was here.   He hinted that I wouldn’t be without a bottle of Skincerity for long.  I was so relieved.  My skin was going through withdrawals.

The first speaker, a licensed esthetician.  She provide so much information on the benefits of Skincerity that it deserved a separate post.

The next speaker shared tips on how to do present the Nucerity Business Opportunity at home meetings.

That was followed by a wonderful buffet lunch – again provided by NuCerity.

The next speaker was Rod Cook of MLMWatchDog.com.  Rod studies various business opportunities and only becomes involved with 1 in 1000.

Some of the things he likes about NuCerity International is:

• NuCerity was founded and supported by a financial group.
• It was a medical technology that developed into an MLM.
• It’s product has had peer reviewed clinical research in the skin care market.
• First to add an MLM as a add on.
• And this one was interesting.  In his opinion NuCerity is the first to have a legal binary.
• And the fact that baby boomers will spend between $5 trillion to $10 trillion on anti aging.

The next speaker shared some of the new marketing tools that are being created for NuCerity Independent Representatives, including some new social networking tools.

When we left this afternoon all attendees were each given some Skincerity shirts and a Skincerity hat.

The generosity of  NuCerity so far has been incredible.

Tonight was another reception with hor’dourves followed by a fabulous dinner with a champagne toast.  They even had non-alcoholic champagne for us that don’t drink. The banquet hall was absolutely beautiful.  The table decorations were breathtaking.  It was the nicest banquet we have ever been too.   It even beat out the governors gala we attended two years ago.

So while my first impressions of NuCerity International were great last night, today exceeded our expectations.

On day 1 of the Nucerity VIP event an esthetician shared with us some of the fantastic results estheticians are receiving with the Skincerity product and how well it has been received in that market.  (An esthetician specializes in the study of skin care, including facials, micro-dermabrasion,  and other services with advanced training.)

She said, some of the benefits of Skincerity are:

• Skincerity provides a Protective Breathable Barrier
• Allows oxygenation to the skin
• Intensifies delivery of other products
• Delivers its own antioxidants
• Prevents wasted evaporation of current products
• Flash dries
• It works while you sleep.
• Prevents moisture loss
• Mimics your own skin
• Removes bacteria from the skin
• Prepares the skin for treatment
• Works with existing regimen
• Contains no acids

Some of the benefits she listed that people have experienced with Skincerity are:

• They use less of their other products
• They have a smoother surface to apply cosmetics
• A more even skin tone
• More skin hydration
• Balanced skin
• Skin tightening
• The appearance of fine lines and wrinkles have lessened
• Men notice more ease with shaving.

Our personal experience with Skincerity has been nothing but positive so far.  I can see why estheticians are seeing great results with their clients.

Well, sadly I left my only bottle of Skincerity behind when my husband and I flew to Dallas today.   Lucky for my kids!  Not so lucky for me.

On the plane ride to Dallas the lady next to us asked us where we were heading. We told her we were heading to Dallas to a NuCerity event.  She asked about Skincerity and she said she wanted to try it.  That’s the same exact response we have gotten from EVERY person we have talked to.

And everyone who has tried it, that we are aware of, say they can’t do without it! I am still  amazed at how excitedly people talk about Skincerity after they have tried it.

But today I am even more excited because I learned more about the company and the people behind Skincerity, NuCerity International.

Well, let me start at the beginning….

Our plane arrived in Dallas late.  By the time we took a taxi to our hotel and got checked the VIP opening reception had already began.  Not even taking the time to change out of our more casual clothes we went ahead and went down stairs to the reception.

And, we were very grateful knowing there would be hor’dourves because we were starving. Our plan was to mingle, meet the owners, eat a snack, and then go out to eat later.

However, there was no need to go to eat later. The hor’dourves were spectacular.

• They had a potato bar with both mashed russet potatoes and sweet potatoes and lots of toppings.  All served in beautiful glasses.
• There was the beef brisket (which we were hoping for since we were now in Texas), and smoked turkey.
• A nacho and salsa bar with fantastic salsa (I always start craving good salsa as soon as I arrive in Texas).
• Unlimited drinks (softdrinks included).
• And a wonderful selection of delicious deserts.

All indications were that this was going to be a first class event!

But the highlight of the evening was meeting the founders of NuCerity International and learning what their philosophy is on building a company.

We spent some time talking to David Dillingham, Chief of Operations for NuCerity International.   We had just built a large organization with another direct sales company, but we had been running  into some trouble getting the corporate support we needed.   So we were so glad when David explained their company philosophy.  He explained  that they believe it is there primary job to support the distributor, and provide them with the tools they need to succeed.  “Our job is to assist you in any way we can,” he said.  That was music to our ears!

Our conversation with Dave lasted nearly 30 minutes and I won’t go into all the details.  I’ll just say we walked away knowing that we had made a fantastic decision to become involved with NuCerity.

But sadly that night, I went to bed without applying my Skincerity, but glad to know that our Skincerity Acne experiment would go forward.

I hoped that I would be able to acquire another bottle of Skincerity very, very soon.
