Anti Aging Science and Skincerity by Dr. 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!

Esthetician Shares Benefits of Skincerity

Posted by Leisa Watkins On October - 9 - 2009 1 COMMENT

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.

In Love With Skincerity – Review Day 6

Posted by Leisa Watkins On October - 7 - 2009 Comments Off

It’s been several days since we began testing Skincerity to treat my son’s acne and we’ve seen a decrease in the number of pimples my son has.  The before and after photos of people who have been using Skincerity to treat their acne have been very promising.

The first day, when he awoke he washed his face and came in and said, “Mom. Day 1! What do you think?” My first thoughts were that his face seemed to glow. Not in an oily shine kinds of way, but a healthy kind of way!” It’s hard to put it in words how I could see improvement in one day, but I did. His skin just looked healthier. I believe it is because the Skincerity had removed some of the old layers of skin cells.

I’ve used Skincerity now for about a week and I am so in love with it! I can’t remember the last time my skin felt this good!

It certainly wasn’t in high school over twenty years ago. It wasn’t in junior high. The only way I can describe it is that my skin is starting to feel baby soft. The wrinkles are starting to diminish too!

My husband and I are scheduled to fly to Dallas tomorrow to learn more about Skincerity and Nucerity at a VIP event and now I’m not sure what to do.  I don’t want to be without Skincerity – but neither do my two teens (my daughter has began using it as well).

My kit hasn’t arrived yet and we still have just the one bottle.

So should I take it with me – or should I leave it for my kids to use?

Either way, it is going to mess up our experiment some with a break in between.You now can

Fighting Aging – Skincerity Review Day 1

Posted by Leisa Watkins On October - 1 - 2009 Comments Off

Skincerity Breathable MaskAs I previously wrote, my Skincerity story began with a lunch date where my husband and I were introduced to the Skincerity product. It was here where I left off with…

So that night I came home armed with a bottle of Skincerity.

I washed my face.

I applied the Skincerity product and went to bed hoping that it would miraculously help me turn back the signs of aging – that Skincerity would be my miracle anti aging treatment.

The next morning…

I woke up and very anxiously proceeded to remove the Skincerity mask.

It was surprisingly difficult to remove.  But I later learned that the Skincerity product was more difficult to remove at first because my skin was so dry and damaged.  It was clinging to the dry skin, but as my skin became more nourished and soft it would come off much easier.

To remove it I wet my skin with water and rubbed in a circular motion to work the water into the mask.  I then proceeded to peel the mask off in small pieces.  Then I used the cloth that came with my first bottle to remove the residual mask.

I have to admit I was so pleasantly surprisedMy Skincerity skin felt wonderful!  On the first day it seemed to glow, and it felt so much softer.  I kept rubbing my cheek all day long.  I just couldn’t believe how soft my skin was.

Now i’ll admit.  I haven’t always taken the best care of my skin. I’ve usually washed it, and applied moisturizer once in a while.  I haven’t been the type of person who has spent thousands of dollars on the latest lotions and potions.

The fact was, I had wanted a face lift.  That surprised me because I always felt I would age gracefully.   I just thought I would take it much better.  But now I’m kicking and screaming about the wrinkles that have developed.  And to have wrinkles and acne. What’s up with that?  That just wasn’t fair!

Anyway…

due to my skin’s previous overall lack of luster and health I wondered if my first day results with Skincerity were extra special since my skin was finally saying “Yeah! It’s about time you fed me.”

But then I remembered my friends who had tried it.  Some of them babied their skin and they felt a noticeable difference the first day too! They were raving about Skincerity!

And so began a new chapter in my life.  October 1st, 2009 marks the day that  I enrolled as an Nucerity Independent Representative.  I experienced enough results my first day to know it was a product I was comfortable representing.  And what I had heard about Nucerity International we impressive as well.

As evening arrived, I again washed my face, applied Skincerity, and hoped that it was my miraculous fountain of youth in a bottle.
