Mask and Ye Shall Receive

April 9, 2014 by Linda Hong

Does your skin need a serious moisture infusion? A really deep cleaning? Its own stimulus plan?

Good news: There's a facial mask for any dilemma.

THE PROBLEM: Lackluster skin

THE CAUSE: When you don't properly cleanse or exfoliate, dead skin cells build upon the surface of your face, dulling your complexion.

THE FIX: Volcanic Origins Face & Body Ash Mineral Clay Mud Mask: Microscopic clay particles and super absorbency removes toxins. Underlying tissue responds by realizing it does not need to hold so much fluid to dilute toxins that are no longer there. The fluid recedes, thus causing tissue to detoxify, compact and tighten. EXFOLIATES (removes) dead surface skin cells, leaving skin bright, smooth and soft, even after the first application.

THE PROBLEM: Dryness

THE CAUSE: You may be using antiaging or acne products containing retinol or benzoyl peroxide, or you're exposed to dry heat, or you're not drinking enough fluids. Or: You may simply have chronically parched skin.

THE FIX: Theraderma Skin Recovery Mask: Rejuvenate your undernourished skin with this creamy rich mask treatment. Formulated with antioxidants, vitamins A, C, E and essential fatty acids all designed to enhance your skin's circulation for cell regeneration resulting in brighter and healthier skin. Pre-mature aging is prevented by increasing the moisture level in your skin with nutrient rich carrot oil, mango butter, and natural plant extracts.

THE PROBLEM: Clogged pores and breakouts.

THE CAUSE: Acne may flare up in reaction to hormonal changes, a disruption in cell turnover, or products that irritate your skin.

THE FIX: Theraderma Bio Treatment Mask w/Glycolic Acid: Dry up your blemishes and control oil production with this anti-microbial and exfoliating mask treatment. Formulated with Glycolic Acid to exfoliate dead skin cells to clear residue debris in the pores revealing a smooth skin texture.

THE PROBLEM: Uneven skin tone, sagging.

THE CAUSE: Exposure to sun or pollution and loss of collagen and elastin.

THE FIX: Circadia Green Tea Mask: Designed to deliver antioxidants into the skin. Although it is safe for all skin types, it works especially well for combination to oily skin types because of the kaolin base. Removes surface dead skin cells to brighten and clarify skin. Rich in antioxidants, oil absorbing properties, purifying, nourishing and soothing. Leaves skin with a clear more even toned with a matte finish.

April 7, 2014 by Linda Hong

"Bags" around or under the eyes are an indication of excess fluid in your system. Darkness around and under the eyes is an indication of poor digestive function.

Here are my product recommendations:

HOW DO I USE IT? After cleansing use your pinky finger to apply a very small amount under the lower eyelid by gently patting serum into the delicate tissue. It is recommended that the product be used daily in combination with a massaging technique that is used to increase blood flow to the eye area which can help to increase the amount of collagen and moisture which are created in the skin through stimulation and the ingredients which are found in the complex.
