An Uplifting Story We live in an age of Beautiful People. Movie stars, super models, even pro wrestlers are all inspiring their fans to make the most of what they’ve got - and if they haven’t got it, they’ll do their best to fake it. As age begins to set in, efforts become a little more focused on discovering the Fountain of Youth, and many people think about getting a facelift. But surgical procedures are not for everyone, and more and more people are investigating other options. A Facelift without Surgery? If you were to ask a plastic surgeon, he or she would no doubt claim that there is no such thing as a non-surgical facelift. Of course, you’d expect that from someone who depends on the scalpel to make a living. It’s natural for a surgeon to take a defensive mode, considering all the possible downsides involved with surgery. In the first place, a surgical facelift is an invasive procedure, requiring general anesthesia, or at the very least, local anesthesia and a sedative, which all carry some degree of risk. Then there’s the time required for recovery, and that often involves pain. For many patients, it takes as long as two and a half to three months before the swelling, bruising, and incision scars fade away. In a few cases, it has taken even longer. Another concern is the success rate of plastic surgery. While there are plenty of success stories, we’ve all seen the images of procedures that “went horribly wrong.” If nerves are damaged or weakened..

Brighten Skin by Exfoliating You’ve probably forgotten, but there was a point in your life where your skin was perfect: smooth, soft, blemish-free, and almost translucent. If you find it hard to believe, just look at a baby’s skin - we all started out that way. Unfortunately, time takes its toll, and accumulating years tend to also accumulate lines, spots, scars, and dullness. Cleansing alone doesn’t seem to take away the dullness. If you want to see brighter skin when you look into the mirror, you have to work a little harder and add exfoliation to your beauty routine. Causes of Dull Skin Sometimes your lifestyle can contribute to skin dullness. If you smoke, don’t exercise, or don’t get enough sleep or fluids, your circulation becomes sluggish and your skin becomes dehydrated. Changing your habits is a good place to begin, but there’s another aspect to what makes your complexion lose its radiance, and that’s Mother Nature. Even though we don’t realize it, we are continuously shedding dead skin cells to allow new cells to regenerate. As we begin to get older, the process slows down, and the dead skin cells begin to build up on the surface of our skin. To make matters worse, these dead skin cells tend to absorb dirt, oil, and pollutants. With all that garbage on the surface on the skin, no wonder it looks dull! How Exfoliating Helps The principle behind exfoliation is simple: remove dead skin cells to allow new skin cells to come to the surface. The..

Years ago, an ad for a certain product coined the term, “the heartbreak of psoriasis”. Although it may seem a bit extreme to some, others may consider it an appropriate label for a condition that causes sufferers to feel self-conscious and anxious. For many, their self-esteem takes a nose-dive, and they work hard to cover themselves up and avoid social occasions. What is Psoriasis? Dr. Oz, a celebrity doctor with a popular TV show, once referred to psoriasis as a case of too much skin. This is because of an immune disorder that signals the body to over-produce skin cells. As the cells build up, a rash is formed. It’s not contagious, but the uninformed may shy away from a person who exhibits the thick, red, scaly patches. Psoriasis is actually pretty common, affecting about 2-3 percent of the population. Depending on the person, the rash can be isolated to a small area, or large patches may spread across different parts of the body, causing itching and discomfort. The exact cause of psoriasis has not been discovered, but it seems to run in families, and certain factors can trigger flare-ups. These factors include certain medications, infection or injury to the skin, smoking and drinking alcohol, and stress. There’s no cure at this point, but uncovering and eliminating the triggers of flare-ups can be a help in managing psoriasis. There are also several types of medical treatments, but those generally meet with varying degrees of success. Psoriasis and De..

Consider the human skin your first line of defense into your body. The skin allows certain molecules to enter while it repels other molecules. In this way, your defense system has a security gate where it monitors all substances. Given the okay, they are allowed to enter into the body. While if rejected, they are properly escorted off the premises.   The human skin is not the only material in nature with a protective coating and its own personal security. Plant cells have selective permeable cells as well which is increasingly important the more arid the environment becomes. The Dead Sea, a natural phenomenon in Israel, is in an extremely arid environment. In fact, it rains there on average, less than 5 days out of the year! Imagine being a plant trying to hold in moisture in such a dry climate. The security gate of the plants would be extremely strict in what is allowed to enter and leave. The science behind these strict permeations is what drives the science behind Premier Dead Sea products. At the state of the art Premier Dead Sea labs in Israel, scientists discovered how to harness the secrets of Dead Sea plant selective permeability, and applied it to the skin care products. Imagine if science could unlock the stringent barriers of a desert plant, how penetrative the effects would be as it was applied to human skin! Specifically, this technique of delivery occurs within molecules containing bilipid layers as an envelope. At the Premier Dead Sea la..
