BIOKORIUM® FACE LIFT 101

We took a group of 70 plus year old women to see if they could learn how to clean up their own skin. They all took 3 classes and here are the results after 4 months of taking care of her own skin and 1 facial, from me of course. This subject is 78 and she was brave enough to give me her first photo and allowed me to post this on my facebook page. This was her response to me…….she said “Your GOOOOOD” Needless to say she is very happy and on her way to better, younger and healthier skin. … And there is no Photoshop here.

BLOG SITE SKIN GAB POST SECOND ARTICLE ABOUT VIVIAN MORENO

We’re worth this pampering
  About two years ago the blog site SkinGab posted a second article regarding Vivian Moreno’s thoughts and approach to skin care.  This this was part 2 of a previous post from the bloggers point of view . . . So last week, I did a post about Vivian Moreno, an esthetician I met some years ago who suggested I minimize the use of water on my face.  You can read that post here: http://skingab.com/water-ruining-skin/

WATER IS YOUR ENEMY, NOT THE SUN!

WATER IS YOUR ENEMY NOT THE SUN!  IS WATER RUINING YOUR SKIN? 

Back in 2017, the blog site Skin Gab interviewed Facialist/Esthetician Vivian Moreno referencing her opinions on Water and the Sun. She changed the accepted points of view by critically thinking out of the skin care box and beyond. What? Don’t wash your face too much, use Aquaphor/Vaseline, and don’t use sunscreen? All these points were pertinent. Don’t wash your face to much as to not destroy the natural pH environment of the skin. BioKorium® has their Waterscreen which is similar to Aquaphor/Vaseline which purpose is to seal in moisture. Sunscreens, well, we are all learning about this on how to much may be a detriment as oppose to a protective factor. Sunscreens are in everything, basic lotions, make-up, lip gloss etc. The chemicals involved in the sunscreen activity can have an effect on skins ability to react to the environment. Remember the skin is living entity.

SUNSCREEN AND THE LIES WE’VE BEEN TOLD ABOUT THE REAL CAUSES OF SKIN CANCER

More and more the truth has been revealed by what we have been saying for the last 20 years.  Sunblocks and Sunscreens are the problem which actually causes skin cancer as oppose to protecting you from skin cancer, as in this 2017 article in The Truth About Cancer.  Local Physician’s cringed when they heard that a facialist by the name of Vivian Moreno was telling her clients that sunscreens were bad for the skin and not to be used daily.  Further, she was telling clients if your skin is healthy it can actually resist the damaging effects of the sun.  But people we noticed were getting skin cancer where usually the sun could not possible reach, inner thighs for example.  It was refreshing to see new relative medical studies within the last few years that the chemicals used in sunscreens were the culprit, not the sun.  But we always said, ” Water is the enemy, not the sun.”  We will be getting into that more in the future.  Last but not least, a couple of years ago we had journalist for a blog interview Vivian just on that issue, was she on to something?  We will posting that video interview and article in the coming days… stay tuned!

IS THERE A RELATION BETWEEN THE SURFACE OF THE SKIN AND INTERNAL PROCESSES OF THE BODY?

In January of 2018 we started the Biokorium® Experiment Here are some results after almost a year of our first clinical trials. We took a closer look at the cellular debris or information error of the skin cells, created some products and treatments that would un-gum the skin creating an environment that would make the skin function better or in a more youthful state.
You can see in these photos that it is possible to clean up the surface of the skin and reverse or correct some signs or indicators of aging. My question we will now look at this New Year “is it’s possible that cleaning the surface of the skin could have an impact on internal processes of the body”?

PHOTO JOURNALING… A VISUAL WINDOW TO ANTI-AGING

The best thing I ever did was to keep a photo journal of my skin. My skin care journey started when I was 33 years old. I used the BEST QUALITY Skin Care possible, BIOKORIUM of course, followed a regimen of cleansing, toning, exfoliating moisturizing and hydrating. I then believed I was doing everything possible to slow down the aging process

At 62 I knew my skin was looking and feeling a little tired. I came to the realization that my skin was out of control then took a current photo and compared it to a photo taken 10 years before. WOW! I was a mess. I had all the 7 signs of aging* on my face plus a couple extra. What went wrong? I am sure there are many women just like me that spent years following a skin care plan trying to do all the right things in order to have beautiful skin only to wake up at age of 60 plus realizing you look and feel old!

I had no other choice but to figure out if Anti Aging of the skin was a real possibility or a figment of everyone’s imagination.

Trying to turn the clock back on my skin was fascinating, exciting and a little bit scary because I had no clue what I was getting into. I could not have done it without the help of my photo journal. It helped me take a closer look at the changes occurring in/on my skin and I could tell what products and processes worked the best. After 1 week of my new improved skin care plan I saw some changes happening slowly on my skin, but after 3 weeks I knew I was finally practicing Anti-Aging.

Losing weight and Anti-Aging in my opinion are very similar. When you want to lose weight your first step is to set a goal; something like I want to lose 10 pounds. Then you may decide what diet and exercise program you are going to try to achieve that goal, then step on a scale to get that bench mark number, your starting point, your actual weight. After a week or two you may step back on that scale to determine if the diet and exercise plan you selected is actually working.

When Practicing Anti-aging or starting a new skin care program you need to set goals as I would like tighter skin or I would like to get rid of the discoloration on my face. If you don’t know what issues you have, go to the 7 preconceived-industry-standard signs of aging* to determine what it is that is happening to your skin then get your benchmark by taking a series of photos. This way you can actually determine if you are getting little, no, or major results. Then determine what skin care diet or program you are going to try. You can check in with your local Dermatologist, Plastic Surgeon or try your local skin care professional. You can even go to your local drug store to pick up all the products you may need to start practicing Anti-Aging RIGHT?…..Well….maybe? It almost becomes a crap shoot when deciding what treatment procedure or product series will be right for your skin. There are millions of products to choose from. Some products are to strong some are too weak. Here is how I know if a product or procedure is working for me.

In my opinion it takes no longer than a week or less to determine if the program you choose is the right fit. When losing weight in the first week you probably feel better. Well the first week of Skin care is the same. Does your skin feel better? If your skin is red or dry and feels a bit uncomfortable you may need to change your program. Your best bet is before starting or investing in any new skin care regimen start a photo journal. Be sure that new skin care plan is working.

Here are some tips on photo positions I take to keep in my photo journal.

Face Front eyes open

Face neck and chest

Face front eyes closed

Face Right Side eyes open

Face Right Side eyes closed

Face Left Side eyes open

Face Left Side eyes closed

Then week to week, month to month you can see what changes are happening to your skin. Keeping a journal is not only important when choosing the right plan, but also tells the story of your skin care journey.

*Seven Signs of Aging:

  1. Dark spots: Dark spots, also called hyper pigmentation are caused by a variety of reasons. It could be caused by sun damage, inflammation, skin injuries or even acne.
  2. Sagging Skin: Ageing as well as the act of gaining and losing weight reduces the tautness of skin and gives an impression of loose skin and a perpetually tired look.
  3. Dull Glow-Less Skin: Dryness is exacerbated by wind, extremes of temperature and air-conditioning. It causes the skin to flake, chap and feel tight.
  4. Lines & wrinkles: These are a natural, unavoidable part of ageing. But, young people may get wrinkles way before their time due to excessive damage from the sun or by smoking.
  5. Dry Skin: Apart from being uncomfortable, dry skin creates scaly lines and wrinkles and is not to appealing to look at. Fortunately, most dry skin results from environmental factors that can be wholly or partially controlled.
  6. Patchy Skin: It is generally caused by differences in melanin content in different parts of the skin, but could also be caused by vascular (blood vessels) changes or the growth of foreign organisms on the skin.
  7. Open pores: Open pores are sometimes referred to as a “strawberry nose”. However they can occur anywhere on the face, back, chest or upper arms.

Are Your Aging Eyes Wrinkly, Droopy, Saggy, Sleepy or Puffy? And what are you going to do about it?

Note, before starting any treatment program or procedure for the eyes especially, check with your doctor to make sure there is not an underlying medical condition that may be causing your problem.

Conventional Skin care wisdom dictates, if you are suffering from Wrinkly, Droopy, Saggy, or Puffy eyes we should all run out and purchase the latest and greatest over priced eye cream and we should proceed with caution when applying said cream to such a delicate area on the face. The instructions may state, lightly pat the eye cream/moisturizer around the eyes. I have heard this from every doctor or Skin Care Professional I know.

It has been my experience that everyone who buys into the eye cream routine will still have aging eyes. The best quality highest grade eye creams may deliver minor- temporary effects .Eye creams will not deliver long lasting major results. Many Plastic Surgeons say surgery is the only answer. If you have upper and lower eye issues like I did you will need two surgeries. Each eye lift surgery or medical procedure can cost from $3,000.00 to $10,000.00 and it still won’t fix the skin issue or take care of the underlying problem.

At 63years of age, I felt surgery was out of the question for me when planning my own regimen for the eyes. I knew conventional skin care practices were not going to get the job DONE. I have every skin care ingredient at my disposal and nothing was giving me even a modest improvement. There had to be a better product, ingredient, procedure or treatment. The first thing I did was throw conventional skin care wisdom out the window, and if Conventional Skin Care said to go right I am going to go left.

When I put together a plan of action for my eyes I looked up all that is available in Skin Care, Medicine, and home remedies, here are some of the treatments and remedies I found for the eyes:

Coffee, tea, cucumbers, potatoes, aloe, baking soda, coconut oil, parsley, a cold spoon, cold water, ice, salt water, egg whites, strawberries, vaseline, lemons, tooth paste,wiitch hazel, Preparation-H, Sleep positions: sleep elevated, fillers, ultra sound radio frequency, $3,000.00 PRP Vampire facial using your own blood, surgery, (BCA) Bichoroaceticic acid, blepharoplasty, cryotherapy, topical Retin- A, laser, yoga lymphatic drainage, eye creams and sun screen.

I then looked up causes and conditions, here are a few:

Water retention, age, lack of sleep, allergies, illness, crying, too much salt, artificial sweetener, make up, cataracts, contacts, genetics, medication, dehydration, muscles stretching around the eye, thyroid dysfunction, smoking, oxidative stress, sun exposure.

I was sure I didn’t have a medical condition, but I did. At the time I started I thought I just had old aging eyes, I really couldn’t explain it. Today I know what the problem was I had a buildup of old dried up depleted skin cells, discoloration or melasma hyperpigmentation and I had these bumps under my eyes called Syringomas. I was a mess! In other words I had Droopy, Saggy, Sleepy and Puffy eyes.

So what was I going to do? What I did was combine a few home remedies with some redesigned acids, peptides, microscrubs, and a couple of other ingredients. Set some clear defined goals and kept a detailed photo journal. Here you have it, my before and after.

BAM! I did it. I am clearly on the road to recovery. And I will NEVER have these eye issues again. Feeling Ageless!

My Skin Care treatment for the eyes will send SHOCK WAVES thru the Skin Care industry. The combination of treatments I did is not for the faint of heart, it’s a thorough work out to the skin around the eyes.

This system will save you thousands on unnecessary treatments. The winning combination is my philosophy, products, process, procedure, and protocol. Follow me, and I will teach you how…. instructions coming soon.
