CRISIS IN THE SKIN CARE INDUSTRY | YOU ARE AGING | ANTI-AGING WITH BIOKORIUM® SKIN WATER®

 

Practicing Anti-Aging is the specialty at BioKorium® Skin Care.   In this episode, the Skin Water® absorption challenge gave her tighter, smoother skin and thinner facial features. We call it “De-Puffing” the Face.  You can visually see in both instances the disappearance of the product, hence, Skin Water’s® ability to Hydro-Force® moisture into the skin.

Proper hydration is crucial in order to maintain a proper functioning body, as well as healthy skin.  What is enough water?  Approximately eight glasses of water per day which is 64 fluid ounces.  What would happen to your body if you were allowed to only drink 1 fluid ounce of water daily?  You would absolutely know it would directly impact all bodily functions in a bad way.  Hence, we can look at Skin Care in the same manner.  The Skin Care Industry has long sold the concept that there 1.7 ounce jar of cream will do it all, from skin hydration to skin tightening.  Skin contain 64% water.  If that 1.7 ounce cream was to last you the month, do you actually think it will do things it was marketed to do?  At BioKorium we believe that you would need if not 8 ounces but 16 ounces in order to maintain proper skin hydration for a month.  Our Skin Water Hydration Cream was designed with this concept in mind.  Therefore proper hydration internally as well as externally contributes to reaching Anti-Aging goals.  If one had to only utilize 1.7 ounces of cream per month, your skin would be dying of thirst!  You’re body does not need a sip of water to maintain proper skin care, you need a gulp!

THE SCIENCE:

Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) refers to the evaporation of water through the epidermis, or outer layer, of your skin.   As we get older the loss of water through evaporation via your skin becomes higher.   What does it means when your skin is unable to properly maintain its suppleness through normal hydration?  This means that excess Transepidermal Water Loss is occurring due to damage or age impairment to the skin’s protective barrier faster than the body can replace it, therefore allowing excess moisture content to evaporate from the skin into the atmosphere, resulting in dry, irritated, dehydrated and/or itchy skin.  A high TEWL may also make your skin more prone to infection through easier entry of bacteria through dry cracked skin.  Dry skin also tends to appear more aged, as fine lines and wrinkles are accentuated.

The future of Skin Care is in forcing water into the skin.  Proper use of topical moisturizing and hydration products such as BioKorium® Skin Water® Hydration Cream with Hydro-Force® Technology can work to repair age related skin damage and a weakened skin barrier in order to reverse Transepidermal Water Loss and combat the signs of aging.

ANTI-AGING WITH PHOTOJOURNALING | STEP ONE: ANTI-AGING THROUGH PHOTO DOCUMENTATION.

Practicing Anti-Aging is the specialty at BioKorium® Skin Care. Esthetician and Skin Care Expert Vivian Moreno has developed a way to demonstrate changes within the skin during the aging process, this in order to determine a plan to combat anti-aging. This process is known as Photojournaling, which is Step One of the Anti-Aging process.

Back in November of 2018 Vivian posted a blog on the very subject of Photojournaling in addition to the Seven Signs of Aging, which she will talk about in a future video.  In that blog posting she presents her first photo taken in April 2009 at Age 53.  The next photo was the one that shocked her taken in December 2017.  From these two photos she realized that what the skin care the industry was preaching, wasn’t working.  She began to tackle the question of “Why it wasn’t working!”  The next picture was taken almost a year later at Age 63 in November 2018, which showed her progress.  Photo Journaling gave a Snapshot in Time,  which allows one to compare with other Snapshots in Time.  Using these Time Shots as reference points gives a visual window to allow her to change the way main stream teaches skin care.  Photo Journaling; a Visual Window to Anti-Aging.

REMOVING THE SIGNS OF AGING

I believe I am truly practicing Anti aging!  Based on all current anti-aging/ skin care research which I did.  The way and process that I fixed my skin, I believe is virtually impossible.  BioKorium® Skin Care is AWSOME, or I should say my husband is awesome, he makes all my skin care.  Within 2 years, I have fixed my puffy eyes, sculpted my face, changed the texture of my skin, reduced the size of my pores, eliminated large pores, removed almost all the discoloration on my face, tightened and lifted my lips and above all I feel great!

I am currently training about 100 women on how to practice skin care my way! I want to thank all of my clients who were willing to try something completely different. What I realized is that my clients needed a skin coach in order to learn how and when to use active ingredients, especially if you want the ingredients to deliver BIG.

We started the BioKorium® Experiment about two and a half years ago, and we research the latest in skin care and anti aging regularly.  I have been in the skin care industry for about 30 years and it is my opinion today that everybody in the skin care industry has it all wrong.

Regardless of what process, procedure, or product that I use on my skin, it progressively improves everyday.  This is what I call anti aging, is my skin care process, not fillers and botox.  Removing the signs of aging, and how I did it will be coming soon in future blog posting.

THE FUTURE OF BIOKORIUM® SKIN CARE

  The future at BioKorium® Skin care will be focused on delivering measurable skin care results. Not just for the face but the entire body. We will be able to address all skin care needs with razor sharp precision. When we started the BioKorium® Experiment we didn’t know what to expect. Here is a clear example of Rebuilding, Re-sculpting and Resetting the skin in order for it to work better.
Feeling Ageless is what my clients begin experiencing after about 6 to 7 months into the process. We can teach you how to clean up your skin or we can do this for you. The results take a little longer when you do this facial yourself. I did myself.
  I have worked on this client for one year. Her results are measurable, she is extremely happy. I will be posting my own skin care results shortly. I have been working on my skin for almost a year and a half. We will be starting a new class soon. Stay Tuned!

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.

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.
