Let’s explore this question in more detail.  First of all, there is a large variance between a professional skin care product and the products that can be purchased at department stores, specialty skin and body care shops, drug stores and multi-level product distributors.

A product that is developed to be used and sold by a licensed professional (i.e. Esthetician, Cosmetologist etc) can contain higher levels of the active ingredients than those NOT sold by someone who can provide licensed instruction for that product. This is not to say that products that are sold over the counter are not good products, some are wonderful products. However, you are  likely to get a more highly active product, results oriented product, and get what you pay for, when purchasing “professional only” skin and body care products.

The function of many skin and body care products is to “affect” the epidermal layers of the skin. This is the most superficial layer of skin that we see when we look in the mirror. Believe it or not, this particular layer of skin actually has somewhat of a clear quality to it, and is mostly made up of dead skin cells getting ready to shed. Products that hydrate, nourish, exfoliate and therefore plump this layer of skin give the appearance that the skin is smoother, younger and more youthful, and it is temporarily. What really holds the quality of great looking, healthy and youthful skin are the deeper layers. This is the “live” layer of the skin that contains bloods flow and collagen. When we expose our skin to sun, harmful and irritating products, poor diet, cigarette smoke, stress and environmental pollutants, we slowly breakdown and damage the dermal layers of the skin. This damage starts to become more apparent as we enter
our 30’s.

A skin care product requires very careful science and quality in order to make a small enough molecule so that the ingredients can actually be taken deep into the cells of skin where they can make more dramatic and permanent changes to the surface. In order for a molecule to be small enough to enter the cells is cannot carry a molecular weight of over 750 Daltons. Most actives in products are way into the thousands in molecular weight. Those products that are not built to enter into the cells l of the skin are simply washed down the drain without much of a long-term effect.

In order to increase profits, many products are filled with cheap, abundant man made materials that do little for the skins health and in fact, cause more irritation and imbalance as they are used.

Gentle, clean and organic, results oriented, professional skin care is my promise to you. The product lines that I use are developed with the utmost attention and integrity to purity, which are free of chemical irritants, such as artificial additives, parabens, sodium lauryl sulfate, dyes, and artificial fragrances.  With medical grade levels of active ingredients small enough to enter the cells of your skin for dramatic andn sustainable results. My products “communicate” with your skin and work with its natural ability to heal and repair itself.
