Time to Get Ageless!


Ahhhhh aging, the single thing we can all relate to. At Osmosis we embrace aging and accept it as a gift. Each year we are given the opportunity to learn, grow, and obtain knowledge that only comes with the aging process. The other things that come with aging... like fine lines, wrinkles, crows feet...the dreaded underage bags are luckily all things that can be slowed and treated. This month we have created a simple, functional and EFFECTIVE ageless facial that you can treat yourself to at home.



Follow along below to give your skin the gift of health and ageless confidence.

Step 1. Steam your face! Boil 2 cups of water, carefully transferring boiling water to a heat safe bowl. Throw in some fresh lavender or eucalyptus for a sensory experience. Lean above the steaming bowl of water and cover your head with a towel. Breathe deep and relax until the water cools and steam dies down.

Step 2.  Remove debris, dirt, and oil. Use Deep Clean to reveal fresh skin.

Step 3. Treat with a quarter size dollop of Hydralift Firming Mask with two pumps of StemFactor. Apply all over, from forehead all the way down your neck. Massage into your skin with gentle tapping motions. Spritz with Clear + and let sit for 15 minutes. Use this time to look back at just how wonderful your life has been this far... (good and bad experiences included)!

Step 4. Use a soft, damp towel and remove mask.

Step 5. Take a look at yourself in the mirror and thank YOU for getting you this far!

Step 6. Tap a pea size amount of Refresh PM around your orbital and lip area.

Step 7. Massage 2 pumps of Catalyst AC-11 into your skin, neck, and chest.

Step 8. Spritz 2-3 pumps of Clear + all over and gently press into your skin.

Step 9. Give your skin an extra boost of hydration and moisture with Immerse. Hydrated skin will always look youthful!

Step 10. Do your favorite dance move from your youth... just to prove to yourself that you've still got it!

Step 11. Get some sleep! Sleep is the number one treatment to combat aging!

Detox Facial - Start the New Season With a Clean Slate.


Oh Acne. We thought we parted ways once we turned 18 and our awkward skin days were over. But alas, it continues to find its way back into our lives. Acne, especially adult acne, can be a huge downer and with spring and summer approaching, the thought of having to wear a lot of makeup to cover up our breakouts is enough to cause a FREAKOUT! Don't worry, we have devised a plan to kick acne to the curb with our Spring Detox Facial! Get ready to reveal clearer, smoother skin.



Step 1. Cleanse with Deep Clean Cleanser. Work it into your skin in circular motions and massage gently to lift impurities, oil, and makeup.

Step 2. Double cleanse with Purify to loosen dead skin cells for a fresh, clean face.

Step 3. Exfoliate with Polish. Massage a nickel size amount onto your face, neck, and chest.

Step 4. Inhale and take a whiff of the delicious cranberry scent of Polish.

Step 5. Wrap a warm towel around your face and let it sit for 5 minutes, then gently remove the mask.

Step 6. Apply one pump of Rescue to your skin. Rescue will ease inflammation, neutralize toxins, and initiate repair of irritated breakouts.

Step 7. Mix one pump of Clarify and one pump of Clear, massage into your skin and use gentle tapping motions with your finger tips to press the product into your skin.

Step 8. Apply a big ol' scoop (silver dollar size amount) of Pore Minimizing Clay Purifying Mask. Massage the mask for 3 minutes onto your face, neck, and chest. If you have break outs on your back, this mask would be a great treatment for those pesky little buggers.

Step 9. After you've massaged the mask into your skin, wrap your face, neck, and chest with a warm towel. Once the towel has cooled, remove the mask.

Step 10.  Look in the mirror and say, "Hello beautiful!"

Step 11. Spritz 1-2 pumps of Clear Plus onto your skin.

Step 12. Apply Shade or Protect to keep your skin shielded from the sun. Throw some pressed base on and hop, skip, and jump outside to show off your clear, beautiful skin... Or just have a dance party in your living room. It's up to you!

This facial experience is perfect for spring cleaning your skin. Set aside some time once a week to treat yourself to a mighty detox. In between treatments we suggest using a Vitamin A Serum as your PM treatment and Rescue in the AM (with Protect or Shade).

For an extra skin detox boost, add Skin Perfection Harmonized Water and DIM to your daily routine to treat your skin from the inside out.

Now put on some Enya and get to spahhhh-ing, homestyle!

How often do you clean your makeup brushes? We don't mean wiping them on a paper towel every now and again, we mean deep clean. Deep cleaning your brushes is an important part of your makeup ritual. Having clean brushes not only keeps your makeup clean and your skin clearer, it keeps your brushes living longer. It's best to clean your brushes at night so they have a full night to dry before use. Let's grab a bottle of wine and get to cleaning! (you can at least make it fun right?!?)

Step 1. Gather all of your brushes and head to the sink.
Step 2. Pour yourself a glass of wine and put on some Michael Jackson.
Step 3. Grab some coconut oil* and your Deep Clean Cleanser.
Step 4. Take a sip of wine.
Step 5. Grab your first brush and dip it into the water stream. (keep water temperature warm-hot).
Make sure to only wet the hair. DO NOT get water above the feral (the metal part of the brush).
Step 6. Pump a little cleanser into the palm of your hand.
Step 7. Swirl the wet brush into the cleanser, use your fingers to really work the product into the brush to remove makeup, dirt, and oil.
Step 7. Rinse your brush thoroughly.
Step 8. Squeeze any excess water from your brush and lay flat to dry on a towel. Make sure the brush head is slightly hanging over the edge of your counter for proper air circulation. DO NOT let your brushes dry sitting up in a cup. Water will seep down into the feral and loosen the glue that holds your brush together making your brushes life span a lot shorter!
Step 9. Take another sip of wine.
Step 10. Repeat steps until all of your brushes are clean.
Step 11. Take another sip of wine and do the moon walk.

*Use coconut oil on synthetic brushes to deep clean oils or liquid makeup products. Once you have massaged the oil into your brush, clean using the steps above.
