SKIN SCULPTING: We have one week left of the BioKorium® Experiment. Here is my very happy subject. This week and next I am working on Sculpting her skin back into the shape it once was. As of today she has a better understanding of how the skin works, how to take better care of her own skin and how to maintain her amazing results. Her skin care products work better, her skin works better, and she will continue to get amazing results.
She will never need Botox, fillers, lasers or a face lift!

THE BIOKORIUM® EXPERIMENT: FLAKY EYEBROWS:
As I continue to defy all conventional skin care theories, philosophies, and applications I continue to get better and better results.
Here is my subject with really bad allergies. He was always shedding. I felt so bad for him he has had this problem for about 20 years. He still has his allergies but not as bad. It was more difficult to treat his eyes because everything i used was sooo sensitive and his eyes were blurry for a while after every treatment. It took a little longer but it was worth it.
THE BIOKORIUM® EXPERIMENT
We only have 2 and 1/2 weeks left of our skin care experiment. The discoloration is about 60% gone.
Here is what we have discovered.our subjects really took notice of their results in 3 weeks. In 6 weeks there is a noticeable complete change in the entire face. All our subjects are getting What I call a youthful fresh look. In reality I have figured a way to remove the gummy build up that slows the skin down from working. As her skin continues to work better the health of her skin will shine threw. All subjects in my experiment are now receiving unsolicited complements.
SUBJECT: FLAMING HOT: AGING IS NOT FOR THE WEAK OF HEART…
Here is a new issue that most would find pretty scary to treat. Her neck and her face for that matter was FLAMING HOT! IT WAS ALMOST RAW. After 4 weeks about 80% of all the red is gone and then it will turn a little brown. Only a couple more weeks to go and she will be all back to normal.
I selected the subjects for my experiment because they had skin issues that were tough or almost impossible to treat.
The next issue I will take on is what I call OLD MAN UGLY. I’m sure everyone will get it and every one knows some one who has it. I do believe I am the only one who had taken this on.
REBOOTING, REJUVENATING, REGENERATING AND REVOLUMIZING….
Just call me the “Face Lift Facialist!”
Here is an update of my 4 week face lift. My Client is getting a full face lift, a brow lift, an upper eye lift, and fuller volume to her face. She is getting amazing results. I believe you can do this yourself like I did, but the big results come if you have someone do it for you. So tonight I am teaching my husband how to give me a facial…
AGING OF THE SKIN IS INFORMATION ERROR….
As we finish up week 4 of our experiment we know a lot more about the aging of the skin and how to repair the build up that makes the skin cells sluggish. Our treatments at this stage of the Biokorium® Experiment are more individually tailored to a clients specific needs.
Here we feature our subject that was covered in Dark Spotting. After 4 weeks we have removed about 40% of her discoloration. Once we remove it all NATURALLY she will NEVER have this issue again. The build up around her eyes is almost gone. The wrinkles between her eye brows are gone. The best part of all is she looks and feels better and she is sooooooo happy! We have 4 more weeks to go. I’m TIRED! I know the future of Phenomenal Skin Care is going to be in the hands of an ESTHETICIAN. You will be able to go to your local salon and get a BioKorium® Age Defying Facial.
Discoloration, Melasma, and Freckling are the hardest skin problem to repair.
FEELING FOREVER 45: BIOKORIUM® SKIN CARE: 04.07.2018
Aging is a disease and everyone has it……
When I started to take a closer look at Skin Care I didn’t look at the science of ingredients. I didn’t even look at the process in which the skin works. I looked at the research on longevity and what all the major research centers such as MIT, Harvard, Stanford, etc… were doing in the field of Anti-Aging. I wanted to know if in the future we would just take a pill and live to be 150 years of age free from disease. That is exactly what many researchers think. Maybe a pill or maybe some kind of cocktail….it will be that easy to live way beyond our current life expectations. The only issue I had with this theory is that who wants to look 150? Who wants to look 100 for that matter? And who was discussing Anti Aging of the skin?
At BioKorium Skin Care we have thought long and hard about the future of Skin Care. We believe the future of Skin Care will also be very similar to the future of internal aging. We believe that there will be certain topical applications that will s— l— o— w down the external aging and maintain the health and youthfulness of the skin. So much so that when you reach the age of 150 you’ll look FABULOUS.
We also believe that repairing, rebooting, rejuvenating and revolumizing the skin will play a bigger role in the overall health and wellbeing of the entire body and all its processes.
And one more thing, I can assure all my clients and friends that BioKorium will be in the fore front of all future Anti Aging products, treatments and protocols.
Above is an example of my work …..Vivian “the face lift facialist.” The Future of Skin Care is here!
DRY SKIN? RE-HYDRATE IT
SKIN WATER THE ULTIMATE IN SKIN HYDRATION FOR SKIN AND HAIR
by Vivian Moreno
Think of Re-Hydrating your skin as you would rehydrate your body. They say you need 8 cups water a day to keep a body healthy and hydrated. If you only drank a sip of water a day you would become dehydrated or could eventually die. This applies the same way to our skin. Are we only applying a sip of hydration on our skin a day? I think so.
The first step I took treating all the skin conditions throughout my career as an Esthetician was to rehydrate the skin. I knew that if I could rehydrate any skin type and I was able to deliver and maintain the moisture most skin problems would disappear. BioKorium’s Skin Water is my every day essential….. Vivian Moreno, Esthetician
BioKorium Skin Water Hydration Cream is the first and only Professional product designed to deliver the maximum amount of moisture possible to your Skin. This can be used like a mask, moisturizer, or a neutralizer.
We can lose the moisture in our skin at any age. Some of us lose it quicker than others. When you know your thirsty you pick up that cup of water to rehydrate your body. When your skin is dry most of us do nothing or don’t know what to do.
Many of us look at facials and Hydrating the skin as a luxury issue. It’s more important than you think, this is a health issue. Most day spas or salons offer skin care consultations for a minimal cost or sometimes it’s free.
Research shows that as we age we lose the hyaluronic acid in our skin. The job of hyaluronic is to hold water. When the skin looses its ability to hold its own moisture the skin will start to dehydrate And die. Causing medical problems and advanced signs of aging.
Preserving the hyaluronic acid in our skin is one of the most important things we can do as we get older. A quick and effective way to rehydrate the skin and stop many of the problems is to use Skin Water Hydrating Cream daily.
Get that glow back! The health benefits of well maintained hydrated skin is obvious. Healthy hydrated skin will help reduce fine lines and wrinkles, block out bacteria and infections, reduce the inflammation and give you that youthful healthy glow back.
Its simple and easy. The most important thing we can do for our skin is to use about a ¼ oz. of good hydrating cream everyday, twice a day to the face neck and chest.
Using BioKorium Skin Water Hydration Cream is without a doubt the best and easiest way to deliver hydration to your Skin . We Guarantee it!

BASIC OR TREATMENT: WHICH FACIAL IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
BY: Vivian Moreno
How many times have you looked in the mirror and thought you might need a facial? Where would you start looking and which facial would be right for you? In my many years of experience as an Esthetician I have found there are 2 main categories, a Basic Facial or a Treatment Facial. Under the main categories of Treatment and Basic, there are thousands of sub categories. So where do you start? You have to ask yourself do you need cleaning, hydrating, or rejuvenating?
A facial is one of the best ways to take care of your skin especially if given by an experienced and knowledgeable Esthetician. Any facial program is aimed at the overall improvement of the skin regardless if it’s a series of cleaning and relaxing or peeling and painful. A really good Esthetician can point you in the right direction.
A Basic facial consists of deep cleaning, light exfoliating, moisturizing, and massaging. There are many variations to a basic facial. You could ask for a simple Basic European Facial to a Super Duper Free Radical Fighting Facial loaded with Anti-oxidants, Vitamins, and maybe a little Gold. The Basic Facial comes in many shapes and sizes and are usually found at resorts or Hotel spas where it’s all about the feel-good luxury experience. The benefits are plentiful, it can enhance the immune system, aid in detoxification, reduce the amount of fluid that has built up in the face and aid in stress relief especially when aromatherapy and Lymphatic drainage is added.
A Treatment facial is designed to help with the repair of certain skin conditions and to aid in the rejuvenation process. Your treatment may consist of Deep Cleaning, Oxygenating, Microscrubbing, Chemical Peeling and Hydrating. The results and benefits of a Treatment Facial far out weight that of a basic facial. It really is the most least-invasive way to get good solid results. Chemical peels help rejuvenate or correct the face by increasing the production of new skin. Some benefits of Chemical peeling are, it stimulates collagen and inflammation which results in skin contouring, improves discoloration, age spotting, removes fine lines, some wrinkles, and provides for a general superficial resurfacing of the face. All of which provides better clarity, texture, and youthfulness to the skin.
In my own career I am totally a Treatment Esthetician for sure. My facials are anywhere from pleasantly painful to extremely uncomfortable. I don’t do a Basic Facials at all. I work with a couple Estheticians and Physicians in my community that I can refer to if I have a client that needs something lighter or stronger than what I do.
There are different chemicals an Esthetician can use in his or her practice. My standard for almost 20 years has been Glycolic Acid. I have recently added some Pumpkin Enzymes which contain a combination of Lactic Acid and Glycolic Acid. Other chemical agents are Retin-A, TCA Trichloroacetic acid and Phenol Peeling. In my opinion Phenol and Retin-A should be only used by a Physician or a Medical Aesthetician.
When looking for the right facial experience it’s better to start off consulting with an experienced and knowledgeable Esthetician. Consult with a couple if you feel you need to. Start off slow, whether it be a light peel or a basic facial no one should start out with a full blown Chemical Peel. Finding the right Esthetician, with the right skin care plan can provide you with amazing, long lasting results.
ACNE
I had to include Acne as part of the chemical peeling process because it’s the first thing everyone wants to try regardless of the side effects. A chemical Peel is the last thing I would do to treat acne. In most cases the skin is so badly over processed I have to balance it first. Starting with a chemical peel will only create more over processing and possibly make matters worse.
Acne comes in all shapes and sizes. I had acne when I was 16 until I was 33 so I have some experience. Most of you know my story of how my husband taught me how to use glycolic acid to fix my own acne problem. In my skin care practice I have seen so many different types of acne, Cystic, Black heads, Milia, Small Nodules to large Nodules. I have treated minor cases to extreme cases.
As a facialist Acne is not my passion but I have learned to treat it with much success. One case in particular comes to mind probably the worst case I have ever seen. It was the middle of December, cold in California when I received a call from “Nicole the actress” that’s how I list her on my cell phone. She told me she had acne and she was desperate to fix it. She believed she needed a chemical peel and if I was willing to do it. I told her I would have to see her first then I would decide how to treat her.
So let me set the serino up. Nicole was 22 years old , Malaysian, olive skin tone, and quite beautiful. She was set to start filming a movie and she had 15 days to get her skin into shape or the film company was going to recast her because her skin was soooooo bad and they couldn’t cover it with makeup. Her skin was so bad it itched all the time and she wasn’t able to sleep. Not only was her face itching but the skin on her entire body was itching. Her skin would keep her up at night. She had these little tiny white liquid bumps all over her face and her face looked swollen from all the inflammation activity that was happening to her. The first thing I told her was that a Chemical Peel was out of the question it would only make her condition worse. Our first step was to find out why she was itching then I had to get the itching to stop. I knew that anything I would do to treat her would only make the itching worse.
Our first meeting was a discussion about her itching. There was no way I could treat her at all. The condition of her skin was so bad. How can a young 22 year old beautiful, olive skin tone girl be so itchy? EASY, the first thing I asked her was how many times do you bathe or shower a day. I was shocked when she told me she bathes 5 to 6 times a day. I told her to STOP bathing, that was her problem. She told me she was addicted to the water and she loved bathing. What she loved more than bathing was acting so I explained to her that she was destroying her skin and she wouldn’t be young and beautiful for very long. She was accelerating the aging process of her skin by stripping the natural oils away. What I also explained to her was that she created this problem and it was what I call BEHAVIORAL ACNE. Her skin was fighting back from the constant stripping, scrubbing, and bathing.
The Four Step Skin Care process I would set up for her would go like this:
1. Stop the Itch.
2. Balance her Skin to a healthy normal Ph.
3. Pull all the Acne under the Skin to the Surface.
4. Clean up any Pitting and Scaring that was left.
Now, remember I had a 15 day time line to get her skin in shape to film her current movie project. I explained to her because of the condition of her skin it would take about 6 to 8 weeks to get to step 3. But as long as she followed my plan she would be able to see and feel the healing process happening and she would know we were on the right track. I also believed that the liquidly bumps on her face would start going away enough she should be ok for filming. Our first meeting she agreed to follow my directions and no bathing or makeup for 3 days and I would see her again in 3 days. She agreed, This was her plan:
Morning: Apply SkinWater Hydration Cream
Apply Waterscreen
Evening: Apply SkinWater Hydration Cream
Apply Waterscreen.
If she felt she needed to clean her body (not her face) she could use our facial wash and gently wipe clean with a soft towel. Absolutely no bathing.
If she needed over the counter anti itch ointment that would be okay. The reason I didn’t have her washing her face was that her skin was so depleted, and I just needed her to stop everything she was doing and add a little moisture to her skin and then seal it up. She called me the very first day that the Skinwater Hydration Cream was burning her face so for the entire 3 days all she could use was the Waterscreen. Her first 3 days out of the bath tub or shower her skin stopped itching on her body but her face was still a little itchy.
We started her facial very slow. She had bumps every where on the surface and under her skin she was a HOT mess. After her first mini facial which I was just cleaning and trying to hydrate. Her skin was still so sensitive I could hardly wipe her face because her skin was so weak and painful . (I want to also remind everyone she wanted to start with a chemical Peel.) That evening Nicole started itching all over again. It took me two weeks to stabilize her skin I saw her 3 times a week for 2 weeks. In that 2 weeks it was just enough time to calm down her skin a bit so she would be able to wear makeup again and film the movie.
ALTHOUGH every one around Nicole…her agent, the film makers, her friends, and her family, were still concerned with the condition of her skin and every one had a suggestion or a name of a Dr. for her to see. She would politely explain that she was going to follow the Biokorium Acne plan for her recovery. One thing I have to say about “ Nicole the actress” is that she did follow my plan exactly.
One day I was treating Nicole and she walked in with her sister, who had beautiful skin. I of course had to comment and Nicole told me she does nothing to her skin she doesn’t even wash it much. Well, that comment spoke volumes to Nicole herself. Her acne was a behavior issue. She was over washing, over cleaning, over scrubbing, and over stripping her beautiful skin away.
It took us 12 weeks to really get to step 3 and it took us almost 8 months to get to a chemical Peel. In which she had 2 of them. A weak one then a strong one. I would always proceed with caution in this case because it took so long to rebuild her skin.
Nicole had tried everything: Medications, Over the Counter applications, Facials and Spa Treatments. Her condition just continued to get worse, and no one had ever looked at her behavior, “ bathing”, the one issue that kept the acne condition reoccurring.
While searching for the latest Acne cure or her next Acne Fix, at 22 years of age, “Nicole the actress” was so frustrated and almost ready to lose her dream job when she found BioKorium.
Today her plan is really simple:
Take quick short showers.
Stay off make-up whenever possible.
Her BioKorium products are Facial Wash, 5%Glycolic Acid Cream, Anti Oxidant Cream, Skinwater Hydration Cream, and Waterscreen.
