Skincerity Acne Treatment Review #1

Posted by Leisa Watkins On October - 23 - 2009 Comments Off

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.

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!

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
