Identifying Perioral Dermatitis & Healing from Within


With the hustle and bustle of the holidays, our seasonal eating habits can be pretty harsh on our digestive system. We are surrounded by baked goods and cookie decorating, heavy meals rich with butter and salt, and not to mention the surge in seasonal cocktails. This can result in a purging of toxins visible on the face. We're breaking down perioral dermatitis, one of the most common skin conditions caused by digestive stress, and why it seems to spike this time of year, so let's dive in!

Perioral Dermatitis is a condition in which inflammation appears around the mouth and chin in the form of small red bumps, often accompanied by mild peeling and flaking. According to our Face Mapping guide, breakouts around the mouth indicate various imbalances in our digestive tract. PD, specifically, is usually the result of food toxins, stress-induced digestive troubles, and possibly mouth toxicity from fluoride. While your instinct may be to counteract this rash-like breakout with harsh exfoliants or astringents, fast and visible results will come with a much more gentle approach on the skin with some internal reinforcement. Here's what we recommend:

Topical Solutions


Rescue

This revolutionary epidermal repair serum contains powerful healing properties through our patented ingredient, Trioxolane. It works to neutralize toxins in the skin, calm inflammation, activate wound repair, and empower the skin with the tools needed to transform appearance and texture for permanent results! Talk about a super-serum, this one does it all!

Activating Mist

A staple in any protocol. Always be sure to top of your serums with Clear or Clear Plus+ to ensure optimal product penetration and absorption. Bonus! It is treated with frequencies to help stabilize bacteria levels and empower rejuvenation. Get to spritzing!


Internal Solutions

This supplement matches our own pancreatic enzymes, making it easily recognizable by the body and enhancing its effectiveness to break down the food we eat (yes, even all that pumpkin pie and eggnog). This internal approach to assisting your body in absorbing nutrients and releasing toxins from food targets perioral dermatitis at its source so you can see results faster.

The Secret to Shrinking Pores


Pores, though they may be pesky, do serve a purpose in your skin. They are homes to tiny, yet essential, hair follicles (or "peach fuzz") and sebaceous glands that help nourish and condition the skin and hair with natural oil. Our pores also serve as the medium to release sweat if necessary. But, sometimes our pores seem large and noticeable which can put a damper on your everyday look and beauty routine! Explore with us what causes enlarged pores, why they can be so stubborn to treat, and learn holistic solutions to minimizing them with Osmosis products!

What causes the appearance of large pores?
Large pores are primarily a form of aging in the skin. As the layers of the skin start to thin over time, the follicle is more prominently exposed as the pore around it begins to expand with the subtle collapse of skin around it. Another reason pores can appear large and noticeable is if the skin is producing excess oil, causing the pore to clog. Pores will then expand in an effort to help the oil flow more freely. We recommend seeking expert advice from a Skincare Professional to help pin-point the source of your enlarged pores for the most effective products and protocol when treating this condition.

Your Holistic Protocol.
Treating this stubborn condition requires repair of the dermal-epidermal junction as well as the overall structure of the skin. Enter Rescue Epidermal Repair Serum! This is our number one recommendation when treating enlarged pores as it will give your skin the tools it needs to rebuild and repair. Another key component in the protocol is a Vitamin A Serum. The formulation of our vitamin A's creates an ideal environment in the skin to remodel itself through a boost of collagen and elastin production while feeding it with nutrients. This combination of products will significantly transform the texture and thickness of the skin, allowing it to build back up around the follicle, reducing the size of the pore.
Catalyst AC-11 is a great addition to the protocol as an extra boost of DNA repair. The ingredients in this technologically advanced serum activate the skin's natural zinc finger remodeling process for total renewal and rejuvenation. Goodbye pesky pores!
Always remember to be diligent with your skincare regimen, starting with a cleanser and topping off the routine with an Activating Mist of your choice for optimal product penetration and results.

Enlarged pores can be a stubborn skin condition to treat, so it requires consistency and patience as the products go to work with your skin in a safe and healthy way!

BONUS TIP! Try our Pore Minimizing Clay Mask one to two times a week to help boost results with this non-drying mask that will aid in detoxing the skin and balancing oil levels without disrupting its natural oil and moisture content!

Understanding Melasma & Holistic Solutions to Healing


Melasma is an increasingly common skin condition, predominantly in women, where we start to see dark spots of pigmentation on our skin. If you are experiencing this frustrating symptom, you're not alone! Though it is a challenging condition to treat, there is hope. We are exploring the root cause of this hyperpigmentation and how to treat it both topically and at its source for permanent change and long-term results! Stay tuned to learn all you need to know about melasma and the tools for a safe and effective protocol.

Learn the causes.
Research proves that melasma is connected to damage of the liver which can result in pigmented spots appearing on the forehead, upper cheeks and temples, lower cheeks and jawline, or around the mouth. Hormone imbalances can cause strain on the liver as well, a reason this condition is more prevalent in women, especially those who take birth control pills or who are pregnant or new mothers.

Treating at the source.
The best first step in tackling melasma is taking an internal approach with natural supplements, wellness products, diet, and lifestyle changes. We have seen great success with an anti-fungal diet, meaning it is best to steer clear of heavy yeasts and fungal foods like bread and mushrooms. We also recommend Restore, a top-selling Osmosis supplement containing a patented oxygen molecule that the body utilizes to fight off infections and repair oxidative damage, one of the key factors in healing melasma.

Holistic topical treatments.
There are many mainstream topical treatments available that offer only temporary lightening of pigmented spots, while inflicting long-term damage to the skin. These short term results do not outweigh the long-term devastation. Here at Osmosis, we pride ourselves in safe, effective, and holistic products containing natural ingredients that work with our skin.


Start with a Vitamin A: Our Vitamin A Serums utilize retinaldehyde to improve the overall health of the skin by creating an environment for remodeling through increased nutrient supply and collagen and elastin production. This helps inhibit skin pigmentation.

Repair the DNA: Catalyst AC-11 is our advanced serum that activates your natural zinc finger remodeling process. This process will bring healing to your skin and reduce pigmentation without irritation.

Reinforce with Epidermal Repair: Our revolutionary patented serum, Rescue, contains a highly active ingredient called Trioxolane which delivers a boost of immunity to the skin. This will help dramatically improve texture and appearance of age spots.

Top it off: Don't forget to top off your protocol with a spritz of your favorite Activating Mist, Clear or Clear Plus+, to ensure optimal product penetration, light hydration, and boosted results!

Protect from further damage: Lather up with SPF (during all seasons) to prevent further damage from UVA and UVB rays that can cause severe hyperpigmentation.
Though melasma can be challenging to treat, if you have patience and treat from the inside out, you will start to see permanent change and results throughout your journey! Regain your youthful, radiant glow with the full protocol here


Skin Condition: Moles & Skin Tags


So many of us have that one embarrassing mole or start to notice a pesky little skin tag around the neck or chest area. Both are very common, and usually minor and harmless...aside from just being annoying. Osmosis believes that skin tags typically come from a virus and moles are usually caused by a fungus. Whether it be from exposure to bacteria on a necklace or simply a virus inside of the body purging itself through the skin, various environmental causes can result in moles and skin tags. So, what do we do about it? We have just the products you need to make conquering moles and skin tags quick and effortless in just two easy steps!

Step 1: Repair. The most effective way to tackle a virus, which is, in essence, an infection to the DNA, is to combat it with a DNA Repair Serum. Osmosis to the rescue! Our patented, clinically-proven DNA Repair Serum, Catalyst AC-11, serves as the perfect defense against these unwanted spots and tags. Apply the technologically advanced serum twice a day to the specific area, and as the serum goes to work to penetrate into the skin and disinfect the DNA in that area, moles start to fade and skin tags fall right off. Like magic! Only....science!




Step 2: Activate. Top off Catalyst with Clear Plus+ Activating Mist to bring the protocol full circle. This refreshing Mist helps to drive the serum deep into the dermal layer of the skin, boosting results for visible change. It also contains active ingredients to help firm, soothe, nourish, and add a splash of hydration for an all-encompassing skin-renewal process!





This super simple, two-step protocol is quick, easy, and clinically-proven to work so you can flaunt beautiful, flawless skin with confidence! For more information on Osmosis' philosophy behind moles and skin tags and how to effectively treat them, tune in with Dr. Ben Johnson here.



Treating Rosacea at the Source!



What we see on our skin is a direct reflection of what is going on inside our bodies. For example, hydrated bodies promote healthy, hydrated skin. Similarly, when your liver is struggling or being overworked, you can see dark spots show up on your face – you get the idea! So, what is going on inside when we start seeing red, splotchy patterns show up on our face or body? This redness is called Rosacea and it is caused by damage or strain on the digestive tract. We have both the internal and topical solutions you need to encourage digestive healing and in turn, be able to flaunt beautiful, radiant skin!

Inner Harmony: This Harmonized Water is formulated to rebalance overall skin and body wellness. It aids in the process of detoxing irritation of the skin caused by digestive disharmonies, targeting Rosacea at the source! Take 5 pumps of water morning and night, and watch as the frequencies in the Water balance and encourage proper gut function!


Calm: Treating Rosacea topically calls for a reliable vitamin A serum to partner with the skin in the restoration process. Calm vitamin A serum does exactly that – calms the inflammation on the skin! In doing so, it also restores the protective barrier, normalizes oil levels, and increases nutrients and immune repair that have been compromised by the digestive system.

Rescue: Send some backup! Rescue serves as the reinforcement agent to accelerate the healing process for maximized results! This special Serum, formulated with revolutionary, patented technology and medicinal herbs, will neutralize toxins being purged through the skin and improve that red bumpy texture for a smooth, rejuvenated appearance!



Clear Plus+: Finally, top it all off with an Activating Mist! We recommend Clear Plus+, as it helps to hydrate, soothe, and nourish, all while driving the products deep into the skin to ensure optimal penetration and effectiveness!





Tackle Rosacea with a protocol that works! All of these magical Osmosis products, paired with a healthy diet, make for brilliant, beaming skin that you can feel great about! Be kind to your gut, your skin will thank you!

Osmosis Skincare: Psoriasis S.O.S


Living with Psoriasis is no picnic. The dry, patchy, raised skin is not only uncomfortable to feel, it's uncomfortable to show. Psoriasis symptoms are not easy to cover up and can do a number on our emotional well-being just as our physical well being. We understand how painful this can be. So what causes these itchy flare ups? Stress is a huge factor. Stress can greatly decrease our immunity response and once our immune system is down, many variables can creep in and wreak havoc. Many of us respond to stress by eating comfort food, and we don't know about you but carbs, sugar and well, ice cream all taste pretty darn comfy. When we stress eat, we create a reaction in our gut and when our gut feels disorganized candida (yeast) can creep in and create some problems. Candida inflames our gut, which in turn can inflame our skin. Some of our bodies respond by going into hyper-drive which can cause our skin to regenerate too quickly to keep up with what causes that scaly, itchy buildup we know as psoriasis.

Treating psoriasis takes time and you have to attack from inside out. Osmosis has the perfect solution to harmonize your flare ups internally and externally.



Skin Perfection Harmonized Water: Harmonize your body with a combination of Anti-T (testosterone balancing), Neutralize, Digestive Health and Natural Defense frequencies. Skin Perfection truly lives up to it's name, clearing up many skin conditions that are caused by an upset gut.









Restore: Boost your immunity and inner strength all while attacking nasty bacteria that cause candida to boost your skins health. Utilize Restore twice a day and expect to see results in your skin's appearance within one month.  







Rescue: Treat your psoriasis at the surface. Use Rescue to help ease inflamed, red, itchy flare ups. Over time, Rescue will do just that... rescue and heal your distressed skin.






To speed up your results and recovery cut out inflammatory foods and keep your diet clean and fresh, try out some of our anti-inflammatory tips here.

Our Psoriasis treatment plan is gentle, healing, and extremely effective for soothing rough, unhappy skin and gut.
