I
am impressed at how many of our clients are enjoying our Bismuth-Free Pressed
Base foundations. They no longer worry about a mineral foundation accentuating
their fine lines, wrinkles or that it seems heavy and dry looking. Here are
some tips on how to apply Osmosis Colour foundations for that impeccable
natural finish.
Mix
the Mineral Hydration Mist with Quench moisturizer to increase the
level of water for the skin and apply evenly on the face. This combination
really plumps up dry and dehydrated skins.
Lightly
blend the Foundation all over until you achieve a complete coverage. Brushing with downward
strokes while applying it on the skin, makes for a flawless finish. Now when
you apply your favorite blush and shadows, your skin will appear smoother and
younger looking.

Summer
is not over yet so be sure to protect your skin from the sun. One of the
issues with wearing an SPF on your face is that it can lighten your skin tone.
A quick remedy for that is to use a small amount of a Loose Base Powder to give your SPF a light tint.
When
using Shade, add a small amount to the palm of your hand and then add a small
amount of your Loose Base color (Golden for yellow skin
tones, Natural for peach skin tones, and Beige for pink/blue skin tones). Blend the two together evenly with the Liquid Foundation Brush and
apply sparingly all over your face. This will add color and extra UV protection.
Use the Concealer Brush for the areas around the eyes and nose. Now you can enjoy the sun
and protect your skin while looking flawless.
Our bodies are made
up of 75% water. The earth contains roughly the equivalent amount of vital,
hydrating H20. Our body homeostasis clearly has a strong parallel with the
homeostasis of our planet. It would make sense then to search our vast oceans
for the abundant amount of nutrients that inevitably can provide a wealth of
benefits for our body and skin. Micro-algae, sourced from our earth’s seas, are
a rich source of proteins, fatty acids, minerals, phyto-nutrients and
anti-oxidants, providing a myriad of beneficial properties for the health of
our skin. Advancements in cosmetic chemistry have allowed us to extract active
constituents from a variety of species of algae, giving us powerful marine
derived tools for our anti-aging needs. Chlorella Vulgaris leads the pack as a
true age reversal active, from a 100% botanical source. It is a single celled,
water grown green algae, with one of the highest concentrations of chlorophyll
known to man. Chlorophyll is nature’s detoxifier, and as such, Chlorella is
considered a potent super food. Topical use of this seaweed species has proven
to act against wrinkles and protects skin from harmful environmental
aggressors. This is due to its incredible ability to stimulate collagen
synthesis thereby supporting tissue regeneration and wrinkle reduction. Chlorella’s wonderful attributes have some
statistically significant impacts on human skin, giving us the opportunity to
take our skin care formulas further into naturally sourced yet clinically
proven levels of efficacy. Benefits of topical usage include:
- Collagen is the main protein found in the
body, giving tissue it’s structure and function. Chlorella increases Collagen
Type 1 expression by 333% and Collagen Type 3 expression by 150% in human
fibroblasts.
- Elastin is a glycoprotein secreted by
dermal cells which gives skin it’s fluidity and elastic properties. Elafin is
powerful inhibitor of the enzyme elastase, which destroys elastin. Chlorella
increases Elastin expression by 35% and Elafin expression by 183% in human
keratinocytes.
- Anti-angiogenic properties. Chlorella
reduces new blood vessel growth and formation, minimizing vascular
imperfections such as dark under eye circles, visible capillaries and erythema
associated vascular skin conditions such as rosacea.
- Due to it’s high carotenoid content,
Chlorella acts as a strong anti-oxidant and UV neutralizer, rapidly diminishing
the negative side effects of excess UV radiation exposure.
- Chlorella has natural growth factors and
pre-biotic peptides that help stimulate and feed the good bacteria in our skin.
Our skin’s acid mantle ecosystem and micro-biome, is designed to keep foreign
invaders out. Since Chlorella supports this ecosystem, it helps maintain our
skin’s native immune system.
It
is very evident that Chlorella Vulgaris extract is nature’s anti-aging
workhorse. Seen throughout our line, in products such as our Vitamin A serums,
Replenish, Refresh PM, and our Facial Infusion. Chlorella Vulgaris will give
your skin the ability to fight aging, strengthen its immune system, neutralize
harmful reactive oxygen species and support the skins ability to heal. Feeding
the skin nutrients is the mainstay of the Osmosis approach to skin care, and
this potent super food allows us to do just that. Time to let our skin feast!
