End of Summer Facial

by Jamie Palmer, Corporate Educator

Hope everyone had a fun and fruitful summer, but if you're anything like me, I'm approaching those back to school days with a little more sun damage than I'd like to admit.  Fight the free radical back-up in your skin to help repair damage from UV radiation with an antioxidant rich cooling Osmosis Medi-Facial.  With the perfect blend of 3 varieties of summer berries, green tea, Vitamin E, and CoQ10, you'll load the skin with the support it needs to repair and heal.  Target DNA and hyperpigmentation by adding one of our award-winning Catalyst serums which will also increase collagen and elastin production while healing the damage from the long summer days.

Dr Johnson's Corner - The State of Skincare

I couldn't be more excited to tell you that the trend towards non-inflammatory skincare is picking up steam. Throughout social media and trade shows, it is clear that skincare is shifting to more intuitive and supportive treatments. Devices like micro-current and LED are becoming the preferred option over lasers. Even those who promote peels and acids are telling our story of treating the skin from the inside-out. It's extremely important to be aware of and take care of your skin by keeping it healthy from the inside-out without causing inflammation or damage to have long term anti-aging, beautiful skin. Congratulations to all of you early adopters! You are the leaders of the revolution, stand proud and stay confident that your clients are receiving the most complete skincare strategy in the world. Please remember that Osmosis is partnering with your skin and we are your partner in business as well, so reach out to us for help whenever you need it.

Providing Relief :: Calm & Soothe

 
Jamie Palmer, BSN, RN
According to the National Psoriasis Foundation, psoriasis is the most common autoimmune disease in the US affecting 7.5 million Americans. Psoriasis affects the immune system causing the cell growth cycle of the skin to speed up. This results in itchy, red, thick flaky lesions on the skin. Most topical treatments for psoriasis help to slow down the over production of cells and reduce inflammation. Psoriasis is commonly treated by a physician but if you find a client on your treatment table be sure to not apply facial treatments to a psoriasis lesion. Below is a salve you can use to soothe and protect those areas from facial products. It will hydrate and calm inflammation with soothing aloe, fatty acids and willow herb. To help provide long term relief of psoriasis Digestive Health and Anti-Pathogen Harmonized H20 twice daily can slowly help correct imbalances affecting the immune system.
 
Psoriasis Salve - For Professional Use Only
 
(Professional sizes): Mix 1-pump Immerse, 1-pump Quench, 1/2-pump Shade, 1-pump Clear, 1-scoop Calming Powder Blend, 1-scoop Hyaluronic Acid Powder Active until well blended, gently apply to lesion being sure to use good sanitation practices with this fragile skin. No need to remove from skin.
 
RESULTS: Daily use of Anti-Pathogen & Digestive Health

Dr Johnson's Corner :: Treating Psoriasis

As any of you know, Osmosis guarantees that we will treat any form of psoriasis better than any other treatment out there.  In many cases, it will be a cure for the condition.  Feel confident in offering this holistic approach to your clients.  Current prescriptions for psoriasis will destroy the skin's integrity (topical steroids) or shorten the lifespan of the person.  More importantly, those medications only provide modest relief in most cases.  Anti-Pathogen Harmonized H20, Digestive Health Harmonized H20, and Restore are remarkably healing and have no side effects.  Take the time to explore an option that can forever change the lives of those suffering from psoriasis.

10 Tips for Skin of Color

As featured in Les Nouvelles Esthetiques & Spa ~ July 2013

10 Makeup Pointers for Skin of Color From a Pro
by Alejandro Falcon, Artistic Director for Osmosis Skincare

  1. Use good skin care to keep the skin hydrated; it will help prevent an ashy or gray appearance.
  2. Use a sun protection product, especially on the forehead area so that it does not become darker than the rest of the face.
  3. Reiterate the importance of not picking at acne breakouts.  They can scar and become difficult to camouflage.
  4. Encourage the use of eye creams to keep the area under the eyes from becoming dryer or darker.  There will be less to conceal when applying makeup.
  5. Select a foundation that will work well with the skin type.
  6. Find foundation with warm undertones for those skins with a bronze or terracotta tone.
  7. Use bright colors for eye shadows to make the eyes stand out.
  8. Fill in brows to frame the eye shape.
  9. Find blushes with deep, rich colors.  These colors blend better and appear more natural on skin of color.
  10. Bright or deep lip colors with some rich or metallic glosses can help make skin of color look fresh and pretty, especially if natural makeup is used on the eyes.

Shade Yourself :: Colour Minerals


By Alejandro Falcon, Artistic Director / Corporate Educator

 
Extra, extra … Read all about it!  Add additional UV protection by using Osmosis Colour Mineral Makeup.

 

Osmosis Colour offers 7.5% Zinc Oxide and 14% Titanium Dioxide which delivers complete UV protection.  Minerals reflect most light waves away from your skin to defend against UV exposure.  This helps to prevent damage to all skin tones and prevents stubborn sunspots from getting any darker.  Osmosis Colour Pressed Base foundation applied evenly all over the skin will provide an SPF of 27+.  Since they offer more opacity from our Zinc Oxide, you can receive amazing coverage allowing your skin to breathe.  During the day, you can blot perspiration or excess oil and continue to have a beautiful finish without disturbing your coverage. It will never clog your pores or enhance fine lines or wrinkles, separate or look heavy because it does not contain Bismuth Oxychloride. 

 

Educate yourself on the excellent benefit of using mineral makeup as a natural UV protector and be sure to apply it following facial treatments for extra protection.
