Skincare for Smokers

Cigarette smoke takes its toll on facial skin.  The chemicals inhaled inhibit the amount of oxygen the skin cells receive which makes the skin appear duller and paler. Nicotine itself causes the skin to dehydrate and have a dry look and feel, and the repetitive cigarette puckering action causes small lines to form around the mouth. However, with the right skincare for smokers routine you can limit the negative effects of cigarette smoke on your skin! The key lies in nourishing and hydrating it.

Revitalize your skin with vitamin C

When you smoke, you inhale over 4,000 harmful chemicals.  The chemicals cause the body to produce fewer red blood cells and reduce the oxygen flow in the body.   

One of the manifestations of this is the narrowing of the capillaries. Capillaries are the smallest vessels in the body.  They play an important function – they transfer oxygen and other nutrients and minerals from the bloodstream to tissues in the body and collect carbon dioxide and waste materials from the cells.  Once the capillaries narrow, the blood’s circulation is hindered. This leads to slower cell healing and may cause cell death.  Frequently, the cells don’t receive enough oxygen and nutrients which causes the skin to lose its glow and become duller and discolored. 

Furthermore, the lack of nutrients often results in the formation of dark spots on the facial skin.  For example, the skin is less able to protect itself from sun damage and sunspots appear more easily.  

The chemicals also harm the collagen and elastin in the skin.  Collagen and elastin are the main proteins that provide the skin with strength and elasticity.  When they weaken, the skin begins to wrinkle and sag.

In order to counter these predicaments, what you need is vitamin C! Vitamin C is a miraculous vitamin that:

  • Helps the skin create new collagen and prevents degradation of existing collagen.  The collagen firms the skin and prevents premature aging. It also enables the body to repair itself from damage caused by cigarette smoke.
  • Restores the skin’s vitality.  The vitamin provides the skin with a youthful and radiant appearance.
  • Limits the formation of unwanted pigmentation and provides facial skin with a more even and uniform texture.
  • Protects the skin.  Vitamin C helps the skin fight free-radicals and limits the formation of sunspots.

Counter dehydration with Hyaluronic Acid

Nicotine is diuretic.  This means that it stimulates the body to increase its production of urine which in-turn promotes dehydration.  In addition, as mentioned above, the facial skin cells receive less oxygen and nutrients which results in drier skin.

One of the best ways to hydrate your skin is by infusing it with Hyaluronic acid.  Hyaluronic acid is an essential chemical naturally produced by the body. Its primary function is to retain water and it can hold 1,000 times its weight in water!   It helps facial skin cells remain moist and hydrated which gives the skin a supple complexion.

Exfoliate to prevent the formation of blackheads

Cigarette smoke clogs up the pores and causes blackheads.  The T-zone, which is the area of the face that runs across the forehead and down its center, is especially susceptible. It is therefore important to cleanse your face daily and exfoliate it on a weekly basis. 

The NowMi Treatment- the best skincare for smokers

The NowMi Pro facial treatment is an excellent solution that can minimize facial skin damage caused by smoking.  The NowMi Pro skincare for smokers routine consists of two parts- daily facial cleansing and a weekly nourishing facial.

NowMi Pro is now on sale with Special Offer: Buy now a NowMi Pro Kit from the inventor of OxyGeneo and receive Free of Charge a NowMi refill kit (valued at $99) that will give you 3 extra months vitamin C oxygen facial treatments at home.

Daily cleansing:  The NowMi cleansing gel thoroughly cleanses the skin.  It is used in combination with sonic energy which exponentially increases the effectiveness of the gel and ensures that each pore is deeply cleansed. In addition, the cleansing gel infuses the skin with vitamins E, B3, B5 and Dead Sea minerals which strengthen and revitalize it.

Weekly facial:

The NowMi Pro facial treatment performs 4 actions simultaneously- skin exfoliation, nourishment, oxygenation and protection

1. Exfoliation– During exfoliation, the outermost layer of the skin is removed. The exfoliation clears away all dirt (including cigarette smoke residue), makeup and dead skin cells.

2. Nourishment– The NowMi treatment infuses the skin with pure vitamin C, vitamin E and Hyaluronic acid.

  • Vitamin C: The vitamin C is delivered in the form of an effervescent tablet.  Unlike other vitamin C enriched serums and creams, the vitamin C used in the NowMi treatment is sealed until use.  This guarantees the most potent delivery of the vitamin.  The reason is that once vitamin C is exposed to air or light it is damaged and loses its effectiveness. More than any other vitamin, vitamin C can revitalize and repair damaged facial skin cells.
  • Vitamin E: Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that helps the skin to protect itself against cigarette smoke, pollution, UV rays and more. The skin contains more vitamin E than any other nutrient. Vitamin E has many anti-aging benefits and also hydrates the skin.
  • Hyaluronic acid: Hyaluronic acid prevents skin dehydration and provides it with a supple and healthy look.

3. Oxygenation– the NowMi skincare for smokers treatment can give your skin what it needs the most- oxygen!  The NowMi treatment uses a scientific principle called the Bohr effect to stimulate the body to send oxygen rich blood to the treatment area. The NowMi treatment creates a carbon dioxide rich environment on the skin’s surface and the body responds by infusing the cells with oxygen.  The added oxygen reinvigorates the skin’s cells and increases circulation.

4. Protection – Vitamin C and E protect the skin from damaging extrinsic factors such as UV rays, cigarette smoke and pollution.  By replenishing the skin’s supply of these vitamins you can reduce the amount of damage caused to the facial skin.

Conclusion:

Smoking harms the facial skin and changes its complexion. It causes it to look dull and dry as well as age prematurely. These effects can be significantly reduced by deeply cleansing the skin and infusing it with vitamin C and Hyaluronic acid.  The NowMi skincare for smokers routine does just this.  Best of all, treatment takes only 5 minutes and can be performed in the comfort of your home.

Wintertime Oxygen Treatment

Wintertime Oxygen Treatment | NowMi

During the winter months the facial skin tends to dry out more easily.  There are many reasons for this- the cooler temperatures, the reduced humidity in the air, the overly hot showers we tend to take, and the fact that we spend so much time in overheated indoor environments.

All of these factors take their toll on our skin.  As cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Sam Bunting says “Heated air inside causes low humidity, which leads to water evaporating from our skin…This can cause cracking, flaking and irritation and leave skin with a lackluster, parched appearance.”  The skin is further damaged by the constant shifting between the heated indoors and the cold outdoors.  This process causes the facial capillaries to rapidly contract and expand which can lead to skin redness and broken veins.  And when it comes to super-hot showers, dermatologist Dr. Nick Lowe advises “Hot baths and showers can dissolve the protective barrier in the skin which will eventually lead to dryness”.

One of the best ways to take care of your skin is to pamper it with a wintertime oxygen treatment.  The treatment focuses on hydrating the skin and restoring moisture.

Advantages of a wintertime oxygen treatment

Traditional oxygen facial

1. Oxygen is vital for the skin– During the winter months, the dry air reduces the oxygen content in the skin. To counter this, the wintertime oxygen treatment infuses the skin with pure oxygen.  As a result, the cells are revitalized and reinvigorated.  They are able to better absorb nourishing vitamins and minerals, clear waste and heal themselves.

 2. Anti-aging effect– One of the reasons for premature skin aging is a decrease in the levels of oxygen in the skin.  As we age, the blood capillaries in the facial skin tend to clog, and as a result, the cells don’t function at their full capacity.  The facial skin becomes paler, thinner and more fragile.  By infusing the skin with oxygen, you can dramatically slow down the signs of aging and enjoy a more youthful appearance.

3. Deep skin hydration – During the wintertime oxygen treatment, the skin is infused with nourishing vitamins and minerals.  One of the key ingredients used is Hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid, also known as hyaluronan, is a substance naturally produced by the body. Its primary function is to retain water and it can hold 1,000 times its weight in water!  Hyaluronic acid plays a major role in keeping tissues moist and well lubricated and as a result, the skin looks and feels more supple.

If you lead a busy lifestyle and it is hard for you to find the time to go to a spa to get your wintertime oxygen treatment, there is an alternative!  The NowMi treatment enables you to enjoy a spa-quality treatment in the comfort of your own home.  Best of all, the treatment takes only 5 minutes and costs a fraction of the price of its spa equivalent.

The NowMi Pro is a remarkable device that performs two functions- daily sonic cleansing and weekly vitamin C oxygen facial.

The daily cleanser deeply cleanses the skin and infuses it with vitamins E, B3, B5 and Dead Sea minerals which strengthen and revitalize it.

The weekly vitamin C oxygen facial treatment performs 4 actions- skin exfoliation, nourishment, oxygenation and protection. 

  • Exfoliation: During exfoliation, all dead skin cells, makeup and dirt are removed from the facial skin’s surface.
  • Nourishment:  The skin is infused with pure vitamin C, vitamin E and Hyaluronic acid.  As mentioned above, Hyaluronic acid plays a major role in helping the facial skin retain its moisture, especially during the dry winter months.
  • Oxygenation:  The NowMi treatment uses a unique technology to ‘oxygenate itself from within’. The same science-backed skin oxygenation technology of the OxyGeneo treatment that has been used in professional clinics since 2013. Unlike traditional oxygen facials in which the oxygen is infused from the outside, in the NowMi oxygen facial treatment, the oxygenation process is internal, and as a result, all of the cells are oxygenated and optimally absorb the infused vitamins and minerals.
  • Protection:  The NowMi treatment replenishes the skin’s supply of vitamin C and E. As a result, the skin is better able to protect itself during the winter months from UV rays and other ailments that dry it out.

Conclusion:

The winter months are harsh on the skin.  The decline in temperatures, the dry air and the constant shift between heated and unheated environments take their toll on our skin.  Wintertime oxygen treatments can help a lot!  They can restore lost moisture, nourish the skin, and help it remain balanced.

NowMi Weekly Facial

Just like a professional spa facial treatment, the NowMi weekly facial treatment includes 4 actions- skin exfoliation, nourishment oxygenation and protection. 

1. Skin exfoliation– deep skin cleansing is an incremental part of caring for oily skin.  The exfoliation removes the outer layer of the skin and clears away all excess oil, makeup and dirt.  The exfoliation is carried out using the NowMi effervescent tablet.  The tablet has a coarse texture and when it is mixed with the NowMi lubricant gel it easily glides across the skin.  During the treatment, you need to message the tablet on the skin in circular motions to exfoliate it.  In addition, the NowMi device uses sonic energy which increases the efficiency and speed of the exfoliation process.  The device transmits 6,000 sonic pulsations per minute which ensures that every pore is thoroughly cleansed. 

2.   Skin nourishment– the NowMi treatment infuses the skin with vitamin C, E and Hyaluronic acid.  Vitamin C is excellent for oily skin. Since the main problem with oily skin is that it produces excess amounts of sebum, by increasing the amount of vitamin C in the skin, you can help it become more balanced.  Furthermore, vitamin C boosts the collagen levels in the skin which slows down the signs of aging. It also reduces the amount of pigmentation and helps the skin to look smooth and radiant.  

Vitamin E is renowned for its antioxidant properties and its ability to limit skin damage caused by extrinsic factors such as UV rays, pollution and smoke. Vitamin E also hydrates the skin and helps it heal faster.

Many people with oily skin over-cleanse their skin and cause it to dry out.  While cleansing the skin to reduce excess sebum is critical, it is important to hydrate the skin so that it maintains its natural elasticity and suppleness.  This is where Hyaluronic acid comes in.  Hyaluronic acid plays a vital role in moisturizing the skin and ensuring the skin doesn’t dry out.

3.  Skin oxygenation– many leading spas offer oxygen facial treatments.  The professional treatments use a high-pressure jet spray gun to infuse pure oxygen into the skin.  While these treatments work well, the NowMi vitamin C oxygen facial treatment has taken oxygen treatments to the next levels and stimulates the body to ‘oxygenate itself from within’.   

The oxygenation effect is based on a scientific principle known as the ‘Bohr Effect’.  According to the Bohr Effect, if the body is bombarded with high concentrations of carbon dioxide, it responds by oxygenating the area. Therefore, the NowMi treatment creates high concentrations of carbon dioxide on the skin’s surface and the body then sends oxygen-rich blood cells to counter this imbalance. Because of the oxygenation effect, the vitamins and minerals to be optimally absorbed by the cells. 

4. Skin protection:  The NowMi treatment helps to prevent skin damage. Once the skin’s supply of vitamin C and E have been restored, it can optimally protect itself from damaging factors such as UV rays, pollution and smoke.

NowMi Daily Cleanser

The American Association of Dermatology recommends to daily wash oily skin.   The NowMi Pro device comes with a daily cleanser that removes all excess sebum from your face.  The cleanser is applied using silicone micro-fingers, and the cleansing action is further enhanced using sonic energy. The sonic energy pushes the cleansing solution into the pores and ensures they are thoroughly cleaned. Scientific research has demonstrated that cleaning the face with sonic energy is up to 6 times more efficiant than hand washing.

The NowMi cleansing gel not only cleanses the skin but also infuses it with vitamins E, B3, B5 and Dead Sea minerals. These active ingredients nourish and hydrate the skin and help it keep balanced and looking its best.

One of the main advantages of the NowMi treatment is you can perform the treatment at home and it only takes 5 minutes.

Facial for oily skin

Facial for oily skin |  NowMi

If you suffer from oily skin, professional facials are an excellent way to care for your facial skin and ensure it is getting what it needs to look its very best.  While there are many different types of facials for oily skin, you should be looking for a facial treatment that performs two actions- deep cleansing and intense nourishment.

Oily skin occurs when the body produces too much sebum.  Sebum is a complex mixture of fatty acids, sugars, waxes and other natural ingredients created by the sebaceous glands.  Sebum is vital for healthy skin as it coats, moisturizes and protects it. 

In order to care for oily skin, the facial skin needs to be frequently cleansed in order to get rid of the excess amounts of sebum.  However, this needs to be done with care.  It is important to deeply clean the face but not to strip it of all of its moisture and nourishing vitamins and minerals.  If the cleansing action is too aggressive, the body receives a signal that the skin is dry and dehydrated and in turn produces even more sebum!

Once the skin has been cleaned and all of its pores are open, you need to add moisture and revitalizing nutrients.  This is important in order for the skin be healthy and balanced.

Recommended Professional Facial treatments for Oily Skin

Bazar Magazine recommended these 5 facials for those suffering from oily skin.

1. Ultimate Hydra-02 Experience. The treatment involves a 90-minute facial at a cost of $420.  The treatment combines a deep-cleansing Hydrafacial with glow-boosting Intraceuticals.  The treatment begins with the thorough cleansing of the skin to remove all dirt and makeup.  Then, using a suction tip, all dead skin cells are removed. If necessary, the aesthetician manually extracts all blackheads and whiteheads that clog up the pores. Next, exfoliating acids are applied to the skin. The acids are potent yet gentle, and accelerate cell renewal and smoothen the skin’s surface.  Lastly, an oxygen jet infuses a nutrient-rich serum into the skin.  The serum consists of a blend of antioxidants, hyaluronic acid, and vitamins that nourish and soothe the skin, rejuvenate it and give it a glowing look.

2. PAI Skin Confidence Detox and Decongest Facial.  The treatment costs $200 for a 90-minute session.  This professional facial is hailed for its use of organic ingredients. The PAI Skincare products contain at least 70% organic ingredients which makes them ideal for individuals with sensitive or allergy-prone skin.  To treat the extra shine that people with oily skin have, the PAI treatment uses Himanthalia Sea Algae which is a rich mineral known to regulate the activity of the sebum glands.  Ghassoul clay is also used to remove impurities from the pores and nourish the skin.  Furthermore, Rice Water, which is rich in amino acids is used to rebalance moisture levels and provide an even skin tone.  The treatment includes a therapeutic lymphatic drainage massage, which helps the body remove toxins and enhance the effect of the organic active ingredients.

The treatment uses Hydra Cryo-Serum which contains Hyaluronic Acid to hydrate the skin and collagen to firm the skin. While the serum is being applied, the aesthetic practitioner uses a cryotherapy probe to cool the skin’s temperature.  The cooling action reduces inflammation, aids in the absorption of the serum, calms the sebum glands and contracts the skin. Next, a relaxing facial massage helps to tone the skin.  Finally, a  Hyaluronic Youth Mask is used to seal in moisture providing the skin with a smooth and supple look.

Aqua Clean uses different types of solutions along with advanced vacuum technology to deeply cleanse and exfoliate the skin.  The advantage of the treatment is that it is very effective without using harsh exfoliants.  One solution used is the Ionic Silver Gel which kills the p-Acne, the bacteria that causes acne.  Another solution is the Skin Recovery Gel which contains high levels of vitamin E.  The vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that supports the skin’s natural self-healing process. 

5. Detox Anew.  The treatment costs 80$ and lasts 75 minutes.  During the Detox Anew treatment, a plant-based exfoliant is used to deeply cleanse the skin.  The exfoliant is used in conjunction with an Azulene-based calming mask, which removes toxins and impurities from the skin.

Oxygen facial for greasy skin

Oxygen facial for greasy skin

Dealing with greasy skin can be very frustrating.  The greasy facial skin appearance occurs because the skin produces too much sebum.  Sebum is an oily substance secreted by the sebaceous glands that helps keep the skin moisturized.  While sebum is vital for the facial skin, if the body creates too much of it, the skin becomes oily.  Another problem is that the sebum reflects light which causes the skin to look greasy.

The good news is that it has never been easier to take care of greasy skin. An oxygen facial treatment for greasy skin performs two vital actions that help the skin keep balanced- it deeply cleanses the skin and rids it of unwanted sebum while at the same time nourishes it so that it doesn’t get dry.  The treatment is completely non-invasive, pain-free and has no downtime.

How the professional oxygen facial for greasy skin works?

oxygen facial treatment
A professional oxygen facial treatment

The oxygen facial in a spa involves several steps.  The first step is exfoliation of the skin.  During the exfoliation, the outermost layer of the skin is removed.  This layer contains dead skin cells, dirt, oil and makeup.  By deeply cleansing the skin, the excess layers of sebum are removed and the pores are cleansed.  As an aside, the excess sebum tends to clog up the pores which leads to frequent breakouts and acne.   

Next, using a specialized spray gun, the facial skin is infused with oxygen.  Once the skin cells receive high dosages of oxygen they function better.  The oxygen increases the blood circulation in the treatment area and promotes the production of collagen. 

In addition to the oxygen, healing vitamins and minerals are also infused into the skin.  The exact combination depends on the aesthetician performing the oxygen facial treatment.  Some of the most popular serums used are:

1. Vitamin C: Vitamin C helps curb the production of excess sebum and deeply nourishes the skin.  It improves the radiance of the skin and protects it from damaging effects of environmental pollution.

2. Hyaluronic Acid.  Hyaluronic acid is excellent for oily skin.  It helps the skin maintain moisture and improves its texture and elasticity.

3. Botanical Extracts: The extracts limit the excess production of oil and reduce the size of the pores.

4. Lactic Acid: The lactic acid helps to shrink the size of the pores, improve skin texture and reduce dark spots.

5. Retinol Serum:  For those new to Retinol, lower dosages are used.  Retinol has been shows to help balance greasy skin.

6. Gr+G Serum:  An organic formula that contains grapeseed oil that regulates sebum production and keeps the skin clear.  Additionally, it contains vitamin E that moisturizes and nourishes the skin.

Personal Oily Face Treatment

Personal oily face treatment | NowMi

Oily skin occurs when the sebaceous glands in the skin produce an excess amount of sebum.  Sebum is an oily, waxy substance that coats, moisturizes and protects the skin. It is crucial for the skin since it forms a protective barrier on the skin’s surface that limits water from evaporating.  If you have oily skin, it is recommended that you adopt a personal oily face treatment in order to reduce the amount of sebum on your face while at the same time ensuring that your skin is sufficiently nourished and hydrated.  

Symptoms of oily skin:

People with oily skin often have skin that has:

  • A shiny or greasy appearance
  • Skin that appears rough or thick
  • Clogged pores and blackheads
  • Large pores on the skin
  • Frequent breakouts

The main reason for oily skin is genetic.  However, hormonal changes or high-stress levels can also stimulate the body to create excess amounts of sebum.

Personal oil face treatment

By adopting a personal oil face treatment, you can significantly limit the amount of oil on your face.  Here are important skin care tips recommended by the American Academy of Dermatology.

1. Wash your face every morning, evening and after exercise.  When washing your skin, gently massage it with a cleanser and avoid scrubbing it.  The scrubbing irritates the skin and can make it look even worse.

2. Choose skin care products that have an ‘oil free’ and ‘noncomedogenic’ label.   This label means that the products will not clog your pores or cause acne.  You can find cleansers, moisturizes and makeup with these labels.

3. Select a gentle foaming face wash.  A common mistake when treating oily skin is to choose a strong face wash for oily skin in order to dry out the skin.  However, if the face wash is too harsh it irritates the skin and stimulates it to produce even more sebum.  So, stick to the mild and gentle products.

4. Avoid oil-based or alcohol-based cleansers.  These cleansers irritate the skin.

5. Moisturize your face daily. Even though you have oily skin, it is very important that you keep it hydrated.  It is recommended to use a moisturizer that has an SPF of 30 or higher in order to protect the skin from harmful UV rays.

6. Always wear sunscreen when you are outdoors.  Sunscreen helps prevent skin damage such as wrinkles and age spots.  Choose sunscreens that contain zinc oxide and titanium dioxide since these products limit acne breakouts. Also, stay away from sunscreens that contain fragrance or oils.

7. Only use oil-free, water-based makeup. Always remove your makeup before going to bed, and never go to sleep with makeup.

8. Use blotting papers throughout the day.  Use the papers gently and don’t rub them on your face.  If you rub them, it will only spread the oil to other areas on your face.  Instead, gently press the paper against your face and leave it on for a few seconds to absorb the oil.

9. Try not to touch your face too much.  If you touch your face too much you can spread dirt, oil and bacteria from your hands to your face.  Try to touch your face only when you are cleansing it, moisturizing it or applying makeup.  Make sure your hands are clean before you touch your face.

It also gives even tone and adds the natural whitening skin. In addition to this, vitamin c protect your skin from damage especially from sun rays.”  In addition to the vitamin C, the skin is also infused with Hyaluronic acid.  Hyaluronic acid is excellent for oily skin since it keeps the facial skin moisturized at the right level, so it doesn’t need to produce any more sebum to keep hydrated.   Finally, the skin is infused with vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that protects and nourishes the skin.

Anti-aging facials

Today, more than ever before, people are able to maintain their youthful appearance way into their 50’s and 60’s. Just look at Hollywood celebs – Jennifer Lopez is 50 and looks like a twenty years old, Ellen DeGeneres is 61 and looks amazing, and Madonna is simply ageless.  Over the past 20 years the aesthetic industry has developed enormously and has developed a wide variety of products and technologies that help people look their very best.  And when it comes to anti-aging facials, they have proven themselves to be incredibly effective in turning back the clock- removing wrinkles and fine lines, pigmentation, sunspots, age spots etc.

What to expect during an anti-aging facials treatment?

Most anti-aging facials involve the following steps:

1.  Cleansing– your aesthetician will thoroughly cleanse your skin with a facial cleanser (using a sponge or cotton pads).

2.  Skin analysis– the skin is inspected using a magnifying lamp to determine its condition – i.e. dryness, pigmentation, wrinkles, broken capillaries etc. Based on the analysis, the aesthetician then plans the treatment protocol.

3. Exfoliation– during exfoliation, the outermost layer of the skin is removed and it is deeply cleansed of dead skin, oils and dirt. There are different types of exfoliation.  Mechanical exfoliations use face scrubs (and/or different forms of brushes or washcloths) to remove the dead skin cells.  A more aggressive alternative is microdermabrasion. During the microdermabrasion treatment a blast of micro-crystals is blown across the skin and then vacuumed out.  The procedure removes the dead cells on the skin’s surface and leave the skin looking younger and fresher.   An even more aggressive treatment is a chemical peel which uses different acids to remove skin cells (there are different levels of chemical peels from very mild to highly aggressive peels).

4. Extraction – your aesthetician will remove any blackheads or whiteheads (mature skin sometimes has large blackheads).

5. Light therapy treatments – If your treatment protocol involves light therapy treatments such as lasers or IPL (Intense Pulsed Light), your aesthetician will usually perform the treatment after the exfoliation/extraction. During light therapy treatments, high-intensity pulses of light are penetrated into the epidermis and dermis of the skin to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, eliminate pigmentation, reduce pores and more. Usually there is no downtime or very minimal downtime following these procedures. 

5. Facial massage – the facial massage stimulates the skin and facial muscles and increases blood flow.  Often the massage is very soothing and relaxing.

6. Facial mask – a facial mask with anti-aging active ingredients is applied onto the face.

7. Creams – various protective creams and toners are applied onto the skin.

8.  Discussion – your aesthetician will discuss with you how frequently you should have a treatment and what home skin care regimen you should adopt.

Personal Vitamin C Oxygen Facial

Vitamin C- The Wonder Vitamin

In a recent article in Vogue Magazine, New-York based Dermatologist Dr Dennis Gross stated that “Vitamin C has a wonderful duality: it both brightens and firms the skin…Not only does it help to lighten and break up pigmentation you might already have, it also prevents dark spots or sunspots from forming in the future. Vitamin C, in all its brilliance, also increases your skin’s natural production of collagen, giving skin radiance and vitality.”  So there you have it, the secret to younger looking and healthier skin is not in man-made chemicals or exotic ingredients, it is in the vitamin C found in every orange! 

The secret to great looking skin is in vitamin C

So, where is the catch, you ask?  The catch is in the quality of the vitamin C that you apply to your skin. 

As neuroscientist Dr Claudia Aguirre explains “L-ascorbic acid is the main form of vitamin C”.  The key challenge is that it is a very unstable molecule that dramatically losses its efficiency if exposed to oxygen, light, or its freshness is compromised.  Dr Claudia Aguirre therefore concludes that “The main point is to have a stable form for vitamin C that gets delivered to the skin.”

Once the vitamin C starts to degrade, its color turns yellow.  This is the reason why many of the serums containing vitamin C have a yellow tint.  If you are using a such serum beware that most probably the vitamin C within it has lost its potency.

The Solution:  the NowMi Personal Vitamin C Oxygen Facial

The NowMi device was created to deliver the purest form of vitamin C to the skin (click here to read more about the benefits of vitamin C).  Therefore, the vitamin C is stored in a sealed pouch until use.  The pouch protects the vitamin from exposure to oxygen or light and also guards its freshness.  The vitamin C comes in the form of an effervescent tablet. Once the pouch is opened, the effervescent tablet is massaged onto the face together with the NowMi lubricant gel.  The effervescent tablet gently exfoliates the skin and removes all dirt, oil and dead skin cells.  After the skin has been exfoliated, it optimally absorbs the vitamin C.

In addition to the vitamin C, the NowMi lubricant gel contains vitamin E and Hyaluronic acid.  Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that repairs and protects the skin (for more information about the benefits of Vitamin E please click here).  Furthermore, vitamin E further boosts the efficiency of the vitamin C, especially when it comes to protecting the skin from photodamage.

The NowMi personal vitamin C oxygen facial is unique since it stimulates the body to ‘oxygenate itself from within’.  As opposed to traditional oxygen facials in which the oxygen is applied onto the skin using a spay gun, the NowMi treatment causes a chemical reaction within the skin that stimulates the body to send oxygen rich blood cells to the area.   It does this based on a biological principal called the Bohr effect.  The Bohr effect states that when the body needs to treat an area that has an excess amount of carbon dioxide (C02) it produces oxygen rich cells and sends them to the treatment area. 

The NowMi bubbling tablet comprises of high concentration pure vitamin C as well as sodium bi-carbonate and citric acid. When the sparkling tablet is combined with the lubricant gel, a chemical reaction between the citric acid and the sodium bicarbonate occurs which creates micro-bubbles of C02 on the skin. Consequently, the body replies by sending oxygen to all layers of the facial skin.  The oxygen helps the cells to best absorb the vitamin C, vitamin E and Hyaluronic acid and therefore the treatment results are superior.

The NowMi vitamin C oxygen facial treatment

With the NowMi personal vitamin C oxygenation facial you can:

  • Rejuvenate your skin
  • Reduce the appearance of fine lines
  • Improve textural imperfections
  • Firm your skin & tighten pores
  • Hydrate skin and restore volume
  • Renew glow and revitalize dull complexion

Conclusion:

Vitamin C does wonders for the skin.  However, there is a challenge in applying potent vitamin C onto the skin. The NowMi treatment has overcome this challenge and nourishes the skin with pure vitamin C. Try it today and see the amazing results for yourself!

Oily skin in wintertime

oily facial skin in wintertime

Our skin is sensitive.  It is sensitive to changes in temperature, humidity, climate etc. For this reason, it is important to be aware of our skin type and to adjust our skin care routine if we notice that there is a difference in the way our skin looks and feels. A classic example of this is taking care of oily skin in wintertime.  The cold weather, reduced humidity and constant change between heated and unheated environments take their toll on the facial skin.   So here are a few tips on how to take care of oily skin in wintertime.

Tips for caring for oily skin in wintertime

1. Wash: During the winter, humidity levels drop because cold air holds less moisture than warm air.  Because of this, you might feel that your skin is less oily, and you may use less blotting paper on your facial skin than in the summer. However, chances are that your sebaceous oil glands are still producing an excess amount of oil and because of the changes in the weather it just feels different. Therefore, you still need to manage the excess oil, and in order to do so, it is recommended that you wash your face twice a day.  If you feel that your skin is more delicate during the winter months, choose a creamy face wash over a harsh medical cleanser.

2. Exfoliate: The excess oil on your skin often clogs up your pores.  Not only that, the oil mixes with dirt and dead skin cells on the skin’s surface which leads to pimples, blackheads, acne etc.  By regularly exfoliating your skin you can deeply cleans it and remove all excess oil, dirt and dead skin cells.  The exfoliation enables the skin to maintain a healthy texture and eliminates the “shiny” look it may have. It is recommended to limit exfoliation treatments to 1-3 times per week in order to avoid rashes.

3.  Moisturize:  Even though it may seem that because oily skin produces more sebum than normal facial skin you don’t need to add moisture, you do!  Since you are cleansing it often, it is important to make sure it is moisturized and balanced.  If not, the body will only produce more sebum to compensate to the perceived dryness.  It is recommended to use a water-based moisturizer and not an oil based one since oil-based products can make your skin oilier.

4. Apply sunscreen: Even though it is winter, it is very important to protect your skin from the sun.  Overexposure to the sun’s damaging UV rays can cause the skin to dry, and in response the body produces even more sebum.   The UV rays also contribute to premature aging of the facial skin and disrupt the production of collagen and elastin.

5. Hydrate and eat healthy: Maintaining a healthy diet does wonders for your skin. It is recommended to drink between 8-10 glasses of water a day in order to keep your body hydrated and to clear away toxins and bacteria from the body.  The foods you eat also play a critical role in how your skin looks.  If you suffer from oily skin try to avoid greasy and oily foods and increase your intake of fresh fruits and vegetables.

The NowMi treatment for oily skin

The NowMi Pro vitamin C oxygen facial treatment for oily skin in wintertime

The NowMi vitamin C oxygen facial treatment enables you to easily care for your oily skin in wintertime.  With the NowMi Pro device you can:

1. Deeply cleans your skin on a daily basis

2. Exfoliate it on a weekly basis

3. Moisturize it with vitamins and minerals to ensure it is hydrated and balanced

4. Protect against damaging UV rays

The NowMi Pro device performs 2 actions- daily facial skin cleansing and weekly skin rejuvenation. 

Daily cleansing:

The NowMi Pro treatment kit - Daily
NowMi daily cleansing

The NowMi Pro enables you to deeply cleanse your skin on a daily basis and get rid of accumulated oil (most people with oily skin usually need to cleanse their face at least twice).

The NowMi Pro has a designated surface with soft silicone micro-fingers. Onto this surface you apply the NowMi cleansing gel and then massage it into your face.

The NowMi Pro device uses sonic energy to enhance the cleansing effect. The device issues 6,000 pulsations per minute which helps the cleansing gel to penetrate all of the pores and thoroughly cleanse them. It has been scientifically shown that cleansing your facial skin with sonic energy is up to six times more effective than washing your face with your hands.

The cleansing gel not only cleanses the skin, it also infuses it with vitamins E, B3 and B5 and Dead Sea minerals which nourish and hydrate it. Here is a short description of what they do:  

  • Vitamin B5: Also known as Pantothenic Acid, Vitamin B5 deeply hydrates the skin and helps it absorb moisture from the air.  It also plays a role in promoting skin softness and smoothness.  Most importantly it has skin rejuvenation and repair attributes.
  • Vitamin B3: Vitamin B3 is a powerful antioxidant that helps the skin protect itself damaging UV rays. It blocks the transport of melanin and therefore reduces hyperpigmentation. The vitamin is also known for its anti-aging qualities since it reduces wrinkles and limits the formation of pigmentation spots.
  • Vitamin E: Vitamin E is renowned for its antioxidant capabilities. It protects the skin from free radicals caused by UV rays and other extrinsic factors such as smoke and pollution. The skin contains high levels of vitamin E which emphasizes its key role in nourishing and protecting the skin. Vitamin E is also known for slowing down the signs of aging, hydrating the skin and reducing scars.
  • Dead Sea minerals: The Dead Sea, located in Israel, is known for its therapeutic minerals. The minerals most often used to treat the skin are zinc, calcium, chloride and sodium chloride.

Weekly facial:

The NowMi Pro weekly facial does wonders for oily skin. The treatment consists of four actions performed simultaneously: skin exfoliation, nourishment, oxygenation and protection.  The effectiveness of the treatment is greatly improved by sonic energy which optimizes each action.  The best part about the NowMi Pro treatment is that it enables you to perform a spa-quality treatment in the comfort of your own home in only 5 minutes!

1. Sonic exfoliation:   The exfoliation is performed using the NowMi vitamin C effervescent tablet which has a slightly coarse texture. When the tablet is massaged into the skin, it gently exfoliates it and removes all excess oil, dead skin cells, makeup residue and dirt. The exfoliation also opens up the pores and enables the optimal absorption of the active ingredients.

2. Sonic Nourishment:  During the NowMi Pro treatment, the skin is infused with vitamin C, E and Hyaluronic acid.

  • Vitamin C – Vitamin C is ideal for oily skin since it nourishes and hydrates it. It is also a highly effective anti-aging antioxidant that protects the skin from sun damage and other extrinsic facts such as pollution and dirt. Furthermore, vitamin C is an anti-inflammatory nutrient that prevents skin aggravation and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
  • Vitamin E: Vitamin E plays an important role in skin hydration, nourishment and healing. The vitamin helps to calm the skin and prevents the formation of scars. Like vitamin C, vitamin E is an antioxidant that protects the skin from photoaging and premature aging of the skin.
  • Hyaluronic acid: The primary function of Hyaluronic acid is to lock in moisture and prevent skin dehydration. As mentioned above, it is important to cleanse the skin but not to strip it of moisture. The Hyaluronic plays a major role in keeping the skin moist and well lubricated and preventing it from drying out.

3. Sonic Oxygenation: The NowMi Pro uses a scientific principle known as the ‘Bohr Effect’ to naturally oxygenate the skin ‘from within’.  The Bohr Effect states that when the skin has a high concentration of C02, the body responds by sending oxygen to the treatment area.

During the NowMi Pro treatment, the chemical reaction between the vitamin C effervescent tablet and the lubricant gel creates a rich C02 environment on the surface of the skin.  In response, the body sends oxygen-rich blood cells to the face. As a result of the oxygenation, the active ingredients are optimally infused into the cells.

 4. Sonic Protection:  The #1 cause of aging skin is overexposure to the sun. The NowMi Pro infuses the skin with vitamin C and E which are highly effective antioxidants. When the skin contains high levels of these vitamins it can protect itself from the damaging effects of UV rays and prevent premature skin wrinkling, sagging and pigmentation.

Conclusion:

If you suffer from oily skin in wintertime, the NowMi treatment can be an ideal solution for you.  The treatment enables you to deeply cleans your skin on a daily basis, exfoliate it on a weekly basis, keep it highly moisturized and also protect it from harmful UV rays.  Best of all, the treatment takes only 5 minutes and you can perform it in the comfort of your home.  Try it today!
