Argan Oil is a rare, precious oil and has become famous for its many benefits. Its beauty secrets, although simple, have been known for centuries by the women of Morocco who have used it traditionally in the daily care of their care of skin and hair. It regenerates the skin, restarts the vital functions of the cells and the growth process, neutralizes free radicals and it is extremely nutritious.

Argan oil is loaded with essential fatty acids like linoleic acid, which is the precursor of vitamin E. This makes it well-known for its anti-aging, moisturizing and antioxidant properties. It has been scientifically proved that argan oil is able to correct the age related deficiencies in skin that cause dehydration and loss of skin elasticity. Argan oil helps in reducing the wrinkles and softening the skin. It has also shown to increase the elasticity and tightening of the skin. Benefits of argan oil for skin also include regeneration of the skin by revitalizing the cell functions that prevent early skin aging due to sun, pollution, stress, smoking, etc.

Recently, I’ve launched two of my skin care products, a tonic mist and an anti-aging serum with argan oil. Both the tonic and the serum have been a huge hit. The serum contains grapeseed oil, cranberry seed oil, argan oil, black currant seed oil and sunflower seed oil. This amazing potion not only hydrates and heals, it aids in diminishing fine lines and wrinkles, fights pollution and free radicals, high in antioxidant, regenerates skin at a cellular level and prevents skin aging. This serum is light in texture, doesn’t just sit on the skin.

The end result? A healthy, glowing skin!

If you have any questions about this product, don’t hesitate to email or call me. I’ll be happy to assist you.

I look forward to seeing you soon!

Microcurrent therapy uses pulsating electrical currents that are extremely low-voltage (millionths of an amp) in order to relieve pain and stimulate healing. It works by delivering impulses of mild electrical currents deep into the skin’s surface. This triggers the healing response because the skin cells sense that the tissues have been injured and the body begins to produce more and more cells in order to heal this ‘injury.’ This then boosts collagen production deep within the skin’s surface and encourages the skin cells to heal and repair themselves naturally as they reproduce to heal the injured site.

Clinical studies show that microcurrent facelift procedures trigger the production of amino acids, the body’s natural building blocks which are involved with accelerating cell production and repair.   This means that cells can be restored and the body can start producing healthier skin cells in a very short period of time. Many medical studies since the 1980s have focused on the bioelectrical aspect of body cells and the use of electrical currents to stimulate healing reactions. Microcurrent therapy is considered safe for people of all ages, but it is not recommended for people who use pacemakers and are intolerable of electromagnetic fields.

Microcurrent therapy was first used in the 1980s in the USA to help stroke victims and other people suffering from the partial paralysis of their face, causing it to droop down on one side. Micro-current treatment helped to pull the paralysed muscles back into position. This effect has now been adapted for use in non-surgical, cosmetic enhancement.

Microcurrent facelift procedures and skin treatments are designed for aging skin, but can also be used on younger skin to slow down the aging process. Key benefits of this treatment include:

• Reduction or elimination of fine lines and wrinkles
• Even skin tone
• Tighter, firmer skin
• Reduction or elimination of age spots
• Reduction or elimination of superficial scars
• Drains excess water
• Hydrates skin
• Improves blood circulation and lymphatic drainage
• reduces symptoms of sinusitis
• ‘shakes loose’ toxins from body

Results vary in each individual, typically, up to 15 sessions, plus monthly maintenance treatments, are required, depending on the desired result. The treatment is extremely relaxing, most of my clients actually fall asleep! And when they wake up, their skin is transformed. Along with the microcurrent therapy, collagen eye pads and neck pads are applied to maximize the result. Drink plenty of water afterwards, it will have a purifying effect on your system as the fluid washes the toxins from your body.

Lately, a lot of my clients have been asking me to help them correct their skin due to their thyroid issues. Thyroid issues can cause hormonal imbalance, therefore, causing a roller coaster ride on the skin. One day it’s oily, the next it can be dry and most importantly, experiencing adult acne.

Most people are not even aware of the thyroid gland which is a butterfly shaped gland around the middle of the throat. It has an extremely important role to play in the functioning of the body. The thyroid gland produces thyroid hormones which are necessary at the cellular level for the metabolic processes of the body. They regulate the body energy and how the body uses vitamins and other hormones for the growth of the body. Both the hypothalamus and the pituitary glands are related to the thyroid gland. Most commonly two types of thyroid disorders may be present in some people. One is hypothyroidism when the thyroid hormone is too little and the other is hyperthyroidism where the hormone is more than normal. Hair and skin are particularly vulnerable to thyroid conditions.

Coming from a family history of thyroid problem myself, I fall prey to this as well. That is why when I created the facial treatment Silk Half and Half, I wanted to help others with the same issues. This signature treatment consists of cleansing, extractions, fruit peel(if needed) , lymphatic drainage (extremely vital for the thyroid glands), customized mask follow with the LED light therapy (consists of several colors to target anti-aging, acne as well as hormonal imbalance) and ending with an Oxygen spray spiked with vitamins. This treatment has helped many of my clients’ skin recuperate from acne, oily skin, dry skin and dark spots. Depending on each individual, 10-12 sessions are recommended.

Here are a few things you need to know….

Follow a diet with at least 50 % of the foods being fresh, and organically grown to rebalance and establish a better metabolism. The enzymes from live foods help the body to maintain proper metabolism. Foods that heal include sprouts, salads, raw vegetables, and thermos cooked grains to retain enzymes which heal and feed the glands.

Eat foods rich in vitamin A, such as yellow vegetables, eggs, carrots, and dark green vegetables. Iodine rich foods that nourish the thyroid are: fish and sea vegetables such as: arame, kelp, dulse, hijike, nori, wakame, and kombu. Seaweeds are very nourishing to the glands.

Zinc and copper are important in helping the body make thyroid hormone. Foods rich in zinc include: beef (range free), oatmeal, chicken (range free), seafood, dried beans, bran, tuna, spinach, seeds, and nuts. Foods rich in copper include: organ meats (range free), eggs, yeast, legumes, nuts, and raisins.The amino acid tyrosine is helpful. Tyrosine is found in edamame, beef, chicken, and fish. Soy should be only used in small amounts or on an occasional basis.

Change your skin care regimen to organic products! I can’t stress this enough, products containing vitamin C, black current seed oil, evening primrose oil, or borage oil are extremely helpful for glandular health, thereby, balancing your skin. Products with synthetic ingredients and chemicals can alter your hormones!
