by Leanne Rangel, MA, Aesthetician

What are the things you think about when it comes to your skin? Would you change anything if you could? What if you could target aging, hyperpigmentation, as well as sensitive-, rosacea- and acne- prone skin in just 3 steps?  Do you feel you keep applying different products and see no results? Do you want to awaken your skin to go with your smile?  If you answered “YES” to any of these, you need this easy system!

We need to exfoliate our skin in a healthy and safer way, especially as winter starts to settle in and our skin becomes dryer.  The Eminence Arctic Berry Peel and Peptide Illuminating System is a great solution. By combining a professional treatment with an at-home kit used once a week, you keep your skin radiant with proven results; and, it’s 100% organic!

The first step in the Peel and Peptide System is the Arctic Berry Enzyme Exfoliant. The enzymes break down and remove dead skin cells on the skin’s surface while refining the skins texture to promote healthy skin renewal and smoother skin tone. Skin appears more luminous and even! Harnessing the power of organic arctic berries, lingonberry seed oil and hibiscus seed extract, the skin is also protected with antioxidants and calmed by anti -inflammatory properties.

Forget the pain, irritation and redness that can sometimes accompany a peel! The second step is the Arctic Berry Peel Activator. It gently removes layers of skin to reduce hyperpigmentation and inflammation, fine lines and wrinkles, and is suitable for even SENSITIVE skin types! It will lighten the appearance of skin while improving the skin’s elasticity and tone for younger-looking appearance!

The third and final step of this system is Arctic Berry Peptide Radiance Cream - a very soothing cream for all skin types. This all-powerful moisturizer nourishes the skin with ultra-hydrating organic oil. The cream targets collagen loss, dehydration and inflammation, acting as an anti-aging powerhouse! These peptides will gently relax muscles and diminish wrinkle size to provide a Botox-like effect as well as boost collagen production naturally!! WOW!

The benefits of the complex are supported by the mix of organic arctic berries, lingonberry seed oil and gotu-kola stem cells to reduce skin sensitivity, increase hydration and protect from free radical damage.

Real results in three easy steps! Pamper yourself with a professional treatment and at-home regime today!  

Stem Cells for Youthful Skin

Stem Cells for Youthful Skin

     Your skin’s capacity to replace dead skin cells with new ones is important to maintaining youthful-looking skin. This process of continuous self-renewal is governed by epidermal stem cells.  As we age, stem cell activity dramatically declines and the skin’s capacity for self-renewal diminishes.  Stem cells from plants grown in the high mountain regions of Europe may protect the skin from environmental stress and damage by activating epidermal skin cell activity.

     These plants grow where they have to endure high altitudes, extreme cold, dry air, and high levels of ultra-violet radiation.  The ability of these plants to withstand harsh environments prompted researchers to investigate using these plants as a source of protection for human skin cells.  Researchers found that applying selected plant stem cell extracts to the skin offers protection to the epidermal stem cells; which in turn prolongs cell life and enhances cell function.  These newly activated skin cells may then engage in their important functions of manufacturing proteins, collagen, and lipids needed to repair damaged skin, and help maintain skin elasticity.

     Skin care products are only effective if they are absorbed into the skin. Many cheap skin care products are missing key ingredients that allow the active ingredients to penetrate into the skin.  Micro needling is a new way to increase absorption of skin care products, and Stem Cell serum in particular. This is the same technology as is used in collagen induction therapy or CIT. At Alternatives you may purchase a medical roller for use at home, which increases the absorption of Stem Cell Serum and other recommended products by up to 80%!

For more information about which products are safe to use when micro needling, CIT, plant-based Stem Cell Serum, and home use medical rollers, contact Alternatives at 402-827-9450. Free consultations with an Aesthetician are available.

Protection from the Sun’s Deadly Rays

From Alternatives Newsletter Summer 2008

More than one million skin cancers are diagnosed each year in the United States, according to the American Cancer Society.  That's more than cancers of the prostate, breast, lung, colon, uterus, ovaries, and pancreas combined.  Most skin cancer is caused by too much exposure to ultra-violet rays, according to Dr. Patricia Ryan, founder of Alternatives:  A Center for Conscious Health.

“That’s not the only damage the sun can do,” Dr. Ryan noted.  “Did you know the sun and UV rays have the greatest impact on how our skin ages?  From 85 to 90 percent of visible signs of aging are caused by the sun.”

Alternatives: A Center for Conscious Health, has many types of sunscreens available from organic lotions and minerals to prescription strength varieties with anti-aging ingredients.  Call 402-827-9450 to find out more, or stop by the clinic at 11036 Oak St.
