BioKorium Skin Care

It was December 23, 2024. My husband and I were finished with the Holiday rush. I asked my Husband if we could design and make the new product we had been talking about. He got right into it. He created a recipe and before the end of the evening I had about 1 gallon of our new Tallow Super Moist treatment product. I was so excited to try it. When I get a product that is freshly made by my husband. The fresh cream looks and feels luxurious. It looks like freshly made whipped cream. And it feels like cool silk nourishing my skin. The epitome of luxury. The product looked so yummy I took a tablespoon of it and slathered it all over my face neck and chest. I left it on for about 15 minutes and it had disappeared I added another tablespoon and that as well disappeared.

After about an hour and a half I finally wiped the beautiful whipped- cream off my face. My skin felt so fantastic, but did it look fantastic? Together we saw tiny, microscopic changes that had occurred the changes were so significant to us after only one application I re applied 2 more tablespoons and after I went to sleep that evening, I woke up at 3 am the next morning and applied even more. Over time the small, microscopic changes were multiplying and becoming clearly noticeable big changes to my skin. I knew after 35 years of experimenting on my skin and trying to crack the skin care code I was finally on the right skin care path. It took me one year to completely restore my skin.

When My husband and I started to get involved in the skin care industry 35 years ago The European facial was the gold standard. Deep cleaning, a hydrating mask. facial massage and a whole lot of pampering. It was considered a luxury to visit a day spa for a full day of relaxation and pampering. Today we are visiting Medi Spas to receive the latest anti-aging treatments. Today Advanced injectables served up with a combination of lasers and botox will keep you looking youthful. These treatments are the fastest growing high demand anti-aging treatments.

Skin Care trends and treatments come and go. When I entered the professional skin care industry about 35 years ago, the industry dictated Vaseline or the byproducts of Vaseline was Taboo or even dangerous to use on the skin. I can’t tell you how many times I heard someone say, you’re not supposed to put petroleum on your skin, and then I had to argue the point it was okay to use. The Vaseline controversy has been around for decades.

Slugging and the use of petroleum-based products has come full circle and is now one of the hottest effective skin care trends. After about 3 years of trending on social media many are discovering the successful occlusive properties of this fantastic ingredient. Vaseline, petrolatum, or mineral oil whatever you want to call it has been a versatile ingredient, used in Medicine, Pharmacy and Households for all sorts of healing aids and personal care products. They have been around for centuries, and I now believe they are here to stay.

The one thing that no one can dispute, if you are 60 or 70 years of age, the one thing you need is moisture!

The idea of Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL or TWL) is the loss of water that passes from inside a body through the epidermis to our surrounding environment, causing skin to become dry.  Slugging fights Transepidermal Water Loss, hence, increases moisture content within the skin.

Preparing the moisture base on your skin is important.  The moisture base layers applied to the skin consist of first, Hyaluronic Acid Hydration Facial Serum, and second, Skin Water Hydration Cream.  These products will be pushed into the skin after the occlusive product is applied, such as our Waterscreen Healing & Sealing Adsorption Ointment Base.  The secondary occlusive product that Vivian uses is Plastic Wrap.  As indicated in the video she will show you how to apply to the face for maximum results.

Treatment Slugging is much different than Slugging, since you are now using a treatment product such as Glycolic Acid, Retinol, Vitamin C etc. as the underlying treatment to placing a petroleum based product above it.  The occlusive based petroleum product we use in this video is BioKorium Waterscreen Ointment.  Receiving the best skin results using a topical treatment cosmetic product is why you must understand the process of slugging.  Understanding how slugging intensifies the treatment product on the skin is essential in safely receiving incredible results is imperative.

Products use in this video are BioKorium Hyaluronic Acid Facial Serum or BioKorium Corrective Signal Peptides Facial Serum; BioKorium Oxygen Emulsion Cream (for sale soon) and BioKorium Waterscreen Ointment and BioKorium Skin Water Hydration Cream.

There are over 4,000 published papers on the use of “oxygen therapy” and most of this therapy is based on the use of hydrogen peroxide. It is even found naturally in the body, in small amounts.
Oxygen products are known as hydrogen peroxide emulsion products. Our exclusive formulation is designed to give you skin optimum smoothness, clarity, and luminosity. It brings and binds oxygen to your skin. Unlike other oxygen emulsion products on the market, our product is produced on a weekly basis due to the instability of hydrogen peroxide, as our chemist recommends.

In terms of skin care, oxygen emulsion supplies the skin cells with water and oxygen, as in above figure, both of which are necessary for normal cellular functions.  After hydrogen peroxide oxygen emulsion cream is topically applied to the skin, it comes in contact with the catalase enzyme within and is then broken down to oxygen and water.  RXN: [ 2 H2O2 —> 2 H2O + O2]

If you look at cosmetic marketing today, most every article and advertisement concerning skin involves dehydrated skin. Why does skin dehydrate? Because as we age the epidermis and the function of the dermis becomes sluggish. Therefore, water is not retained as efficiently as in younger skin. It is dehydrated due to a lack of water so “moisturizers” are used to prevent water loss. The oxygen emulsion products supply water to the skin cells. They also supply oxygen, which is needed for normal cellular metabolism. Combined with other ingredients, it is now possible to supply skin cells with what they need to function normally. The oxygen emulsion acts as a “vehicle” or “carrier” and when it penetrates the skin, it takes the other ingredients with it, if they are of the right molecular size. This unique action allows the oxygen emulsion to supply the cells with everything they need to function normally. When the face skin cells are functioning properly, the cells produce elastin, collagen, and other essential end-products necessary for good skin conditions.

In summary, the best answer to aging skin and wrinkles, is prevention. Today’s skin care products are effective and can help in a better appearance. The decision of what to use, will depend on what works best for you. No one product is the total answer. But used in combination with each other, the results can be dramatic. Prevention of skin aging must begin in our teenage years. We can’t stop aging, but, with proper care, and the technology behind these products, we can delay it.

The right combination of topical moisturizing ingredients can work to repair a damaged or weakened skin barrier and therefore reduce transepidermal water loss.  Not only does a damaged skin barrier allow for increased transepidermal water loss, but it also allows pathogens to enter the skin, which can cause a whole host of unwanted conditions.

Dry, dehydrated skin is a common problem for women and men alike, especially if you live in an area where cooler, drier air is starting to move in for the winter.

The skin will let you know when it is dry and depleted.  It has been my experience as a trained professional, that no one seems to be listening their body’s largest organ.  When your skin feels dry, it is telling you it is thirsty.  Moisturize it!

The Skin Care Industry sets the standard to moisturize the skin in the morning and evening.  The skin may need more or less moisture,  you need to pay attention to what you skin is telling you.

In this video we are using BioKorium Corrective Signal Peptide Serum, Grapeseed Extract Cream and Waterscreen Ointment Healing and Sealing Absorbtion Base.

Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL or TWL) is the loss of water that passes from inside a body through the epidermis to our surrounding environment.  Slugging fights Transepidermal Water Loss.

Vivian begins by using a Hyaluronic Acid Facial Serum, you can use our Hyaluronic Acid Serum, or our Hyaluronic Acid with Niacinamide or our Hyaluronic Acid with Signal Peptides.

Then she adds Skin Water Hydration Cream as another base, finalizing the process with Waterscreen Ointment.

We combined these three in our X-Treme Slugging Kit.
