Signs of aging around the eye can take many forms, including puffy eyes and droopy upper eye lids. This can also include the usual suspects like crow’s feet.

Bottled Water: Not As Pure As You May Think

The idea of bottled water often evokes an image of pure crystal springs of flowing water. Unfortunately, recent tests by organizations such as the Environmental Working Group have discovered an alarming array of toxic contaminants in our bottled drinking water. Theses toxins affect all areas of our body, especially skin.

Tests have found that chemicals used in the production of the plastic bottles contain synthetic estrogen, which leaches out into the bottled water. Excess estrogen is found in other plastic items as well, including plastic storage containers and zip lock bags. The fumes and particles that escape off the plastic leach into our body, and can cause us to produce more estrogen.

A woman’s estrogen level is constantly fluctuating even without the added possibility of excess estrogen. The hormonal imbalance caused by the excess estrogen wreaks havoc on the skin, which is the first place to show visible signs of the body’s disruption. This shock to the system causes inflammation and irritation to the skin, such as rashes and discoloration. Estrogen also causes women to breakout into painful cysts around their jaw line, chin and neck. It can also make the skin very oily and difficult to manage.

Solutions to this issue of contamination include drinking filtered tap water, using methods including reverse osmosis. For everyday use and travel, consider using approved containers such as glass containers, or aluminum bottles, which do not break as easily as glass, and help to keep your water or other liquid cold. It is also important to remember this information when considering your children’s containers as well.

Our skin reflects the treatment and condition of our body as a whole, and often even the slightest disruption or imbalance can be seen. It is important to maintain a healthy way of life on the inside, so that it may reflect outwardly through healthy looking skin.

As an esthetician Joanna Vargas has come across all types of skin and skin care products. What she has fund out is that European countries have some of the strictest guidelines and regulations for skin care products. They do this to protect the public and of course prevent misinformation regarding what these skin care products can do.

In the same vein European organic skin care product go through a rigorous certification process or qualifying steps in order to be called organic skin care. One such product is the ILA face mask, which Joanna Vargas found through research and because many of her clients from across the pond used it.

It is biodynamic and has great restorative powers. In my opinion it helps the face to recover from much of the elemental abuse it gets everyday and the usual factors that cause skin to age.

The Oxygen Facial Technique for Skin Rejuvenation

The Oxygen Facial Technique for Skin Rejuvenation

(HealthNewsDigest.com) - The oxygen machine used by Joanna Vargas Skin Care is new to the industry and advances the oxygen facial technique of years past. Infusing the skin with pure oxygen, green tea, hylaronic acid and Vitamin A, C and E serums hydrate and regenerate new skin cells, as well as promote elastin and collagen production. This, in turn, reduces lines and wrinkles.

It’s a long trip from my first facial about 15 years ago at a well known salon where I was in tears during the extraction process.

After the prepping, there was the cleansing, a wonderfully subtle pumpkin masque exfolliant, oxygenation, extraction, and micro-dermabrasion. Everything was done with care and consideration for my comfort.

For first-time treatment customers, Joanna always does one side of the face and then takes delight in showing the client the difference in the mirror. “It is both exciting for me as an aesthetician as well as for the client,” said Joanna. “Most people had no idea they could get their skin to look so youthful without going under the knife.”

There’s no pushing of products here, not an assembly line feel, for your time is your time and you are left uninterrupted allowing her process and technique to take effect.

There’s quiet meditative classical music playing in the background, all of the procedures, in particular, the extraction which normally can be somewhat painful, was done with a great deal of gentleness. It turns out that Joanna has found a way over the years working with top clients, to utilize soft cotton and a sponge so that we who want to have the best possible facial don’t have to suffer unnecessarily with any pinching or discomfort.

Services offered by Joanna Vargas Skin Care include:

* The Purifying Facial – basic organic facial
* The Oxygen Purifying Facial – basic organic facial plus a rejuvenating oxygen infusion
* The Triple Crown Facial - [our microcurrent facial] lymphatic drainage, muscle toning, skin tightening plus oxygen rejuvenating infusion
* The Tone-Up - lymphatic drainage, muscle toning, skin tightening
* The Two -Tone Body Treatment Plus Oxygen Inhalation

All of the products were wonderfully fragranced, felt wonderful, and were professionally applied with tender loving care. I have to say that my skin felt so soft and smooth that I did not wear make up for the few days that followed.

The “TRIPLE CROWN FACIAL” is a three step facial that combines three unique treatments into one heavenly experience. It begins with the gentle exfoliation of the diamond peel to remove impurities and dead skin, this is an innovative new way of doing microdermabrasion.

This form of microdermabrasion uses actual diamond fragments on the tip of a wand to safely and gently exfoliate dead skin.

Next the face muscles and the skin are stimulated with microcurrent which promotes collagen and elastin, two vital proteins needed for the skin to remain youthful and glowing.

During this step of the facial the face muscles and skin are being giving a workout which drains away puffiness, tones, tightens and enhances skin elasticity. Eliminating fine lines and wrinkles. And the benefits are cumulative.

It restores a youthful and glowing complexion, a true anti aging facial!

This last step in the Triple Crown Facial is the final step in the oxygen facial which supplements the skin with all the needed nutrients through the vitamin spiked pure oxygen.

The results are so dramatic because of the combined use of microdermabrasion, microcurrent and ensuing oxygen treatment that clients are left properly awed by their radiant and youthful appearance. A PURE MIRACLE!

OXYGEN PURIFYING FACIAL

The “OXYGEN PURIFYING FACIAL” employs the gentle technology of the diamond peel, an innovative way of using microdermabrasion with a wand that actually has diamonds. Its is safe and gentle and even the most delicate skin can have it without irritation.

The subsequent step is then applied, a delicious medley of organic skin care products. Every product is customized for your skin type.

The next step is the use of pure oxygen, nirvana for the skin.

A rich concentration of 98% pure oxygen is infused with a lifting serum and it’s directly applied to the face. The serum contains essential vitamins and antioxidants that work together to promote healthy skin and eliminate free radicals that cause premature aging.

The awesome regenerative powers of pure oxygen, a fact that has been known by doctors for years, in conjunction with the serum provides results that are nothing less than miraculous.

The reduction of lines and wrinkles, the smoothing and firming of the skin as well as enhanced elasticity are visible immediately, and of course enhanced rapid cell growth makes this a true anti aging facial.
