Healthy Skin 101

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

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!

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.

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!

Acne Before Skincerity Treatment

Acne After Three Weeks of Skincerity Treatment

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.

It’s day three of my Skincerity test.  In both day two and day 3 I felt even additional improvement on my skin.  My skin just felt so much younger, smoother, healthier after just a few days.  It was easy to decide that  I never wanted to be without Skincerity again.

But now…

It was time to start testing Skincerity as an acne treatment on my son’s acne. We’ve tried many things, even the so called top-of-the line acne treatments like ProActive to treat his acne and nothing has worked.

Sadly, the acne was destroying much of his confidence.   But at least he isn’t alone.  More than 85% of teens experience acne. Some people, like me, have acne into their 40s and 50s.

The one thing we didn’t do was resort to prescription antibiotics to treat his acne.  I was on some for years and it really messed up my body in the long run.  So we were really hoping that Skincerity worked for him like it did for the people in the before and after photographs, and in the Skincerity medical trials.

According to Nucerity,  the manufacturers of Skincerity, their product both  accelerates acne clearance and restores damaged, inflamed skin in one simple step.

Skincerity is supposed to work on acne several ways.  First, by providing some deep cleaning action that helps keep acne causing bacteria from settling into the skin’s pores.  In fact, in trials there was 74% less acne causing bacteria after just one application.

Secondly, it helps acne by removing  the dead layers or skin and oil that can clog the pores.

So that night my son did his usual skin care routine which was to wash his face,  apply some salyic acid treatment, and a moisturizer.  The nice thing about Skincerity was that he didn’t need to change his routine.  Skincerity works in conjunction with the products he is already using and makes them more effective.  So we decided to go with that method. Leave his existing treatment alone, and add Skincerity to it.

My son rolled Skincerity over the top and went to bed.  He and I are both anxious to see the results and naturally we’ll share them with you – so stay tuned.

As 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 surprised.  My 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.

My  introduction to the Skincerity skin care product, began the day a friend  called and invited my husband and I to lunch.  Not only were we going to discuss an some challenges in our existing business, but he wanted to also introduce us to a new business opportunity he and his wife were now involved with.

My husband and I arrived at TGI Fridays.  While I dined on the delicious salmon pasta he and his wife proceed to tell us their story and why they became involved with Nucerity International.

He said something like this…

“A friend of ours, asked me to fly into Salt Lake City to take a look at a new business they were involved with.   When I arrived I looked at the business.  I told them good luck, but no I’m not really interested.

But,  they handed me a bottle of the stuff  and said to take it home to my wife and let her try it.

So I did just that.  I arrived home and handed it to my wife.  She applied it when she went to bed that night. When she awoke she came into my office with a smurk on her face. But knowing how I felt about joining the company she said nothing.

This happened again the following day only  this time the smile was a little bigger and she said, ‘You’re not going to like this.  But I think this stuff really works.’

On the third day she came  into the office with a huge grin on her face and said,

‘This stuff really works.  I don’t ever want to be without it.”

So our friend told his wife,

“We’ll if you’re going to use it you might as well sign-up and get it at wholesale.”  So that is what they did.

So right there is where their Nucerity story really began…

She began sharing the remarkable product, called Skincerity, with everyone she knew and everyone loved it!

So her protective husband decided to pay a visit to the company headquarters and really see what they had gotten themselves into.  He booked his flight and changed the course of their lives.

When he arrived in Houston, TX  he was surprised to find out that he had been picked up at the airport by the one of the owners.  Wow.  Ownership that really cares!  Refreshing he thought.

He then spent days there at Nucerity headquarters getting to know the owners, the Nucerity management team, and the product.  What he walked away with was the knowledge that he “wanted to be in business with these three men.”

Now a good solid management team is important to Craig and I.

We’ve had to many problems with companies that don’t succeed due to bad management.  So after our friend elaborated on his visit, and on the quality of the company we were intrigued enough to attend a meeting that night.

So that is what we did.

The product did sound impressive.  People were raving about it.  In fact, that night everyone EVERYONE  who attended that meeting became Nucerity distributors.

But I had to be sure the product worked.  I just don’t feel good  representing  a product that I don’t honestly feel good about.   A successful management team, and an incredible vision didn’t really matter if I didn’t really care for the Skincerity product.

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. The next morning…

Stay tuned for part 2.
