What does your lipstick color say about you?


if you wear red lipstick...
Ladies who go for this classic shade come off as

creative and daring. They're most likely to be the

extroverted partier who also likes to keep in shape

by putting in time at the gym.
if you wear pink lipstick...

 
 
This lighter shade is associated with sociable and fun

people, but don't underestimate these gals! These

pink lip-wearers are very powerful; most senior

executives opt for this shade over plums or nudes.
if you wear plum lipstick...
These might not be the senior executive type, but ladies rockin' a plum
lip are independent and self-sufficient.  They also tend to be more
"chill" or the homebody type that loves staying in on a Friday night
with Netflix. These women rarely post selfies and own the least
number of shoes.
if you wear nude lipstick...
Women who wear this shade are warm and caring.  They're super-
confident because they wear lipstick more often since it looks au
naturale. Also, a fun factoid: Psychologists recommend a nude lip
goes over best on a first date; more than any of the other colors.

Simplifying Serums - Dr Johnson's Corner


Dr Johnson's Corner - April 2015


Simplifying Serums

The Osmosis Vitamin A Serums are the most powerful age reversing serums available. They allow the skin to help remodel itself through increased nutrition, immune repair and collagen and elasticity production.

We use Retinaldehyde which is the only Vitamin A that is proven to stimulate collagen as well as Retin A, works on rosacea, does not cause inflammation or skin sensitivity and is completely stable.

Our Vitamin A Serums are designed by the level of active and corrective ingredients to align with skin tolerance. Below is a guide to help understand our levels:

Renew

The strongest age reversing serum in the world, plain and simple (0.1% Retinal).

Correct

The second strongest, same active ingredients as Renew, but with less Retinaldehyde (.05% Retinal).

Calm

Focuses on redness in the skin; has the same amount of Retinadelyde as Correct but there is less niacinamide and more anti-inflammatories than both Correct and Renew.

Relieve

Focuses on redness and has the same active ingredients as Calm but with less Retinaldehyde (.025% Retinal).

Clarify

Focuses on blemished skin and has more acne related ingredients than age reversing ingredients; has the same amount of Retnaldehyde as Calm and Correct (.05% Retinal).
Some of the key ingredients you will find in our Vitamin A Serums include: Retinaldehyde, 1,3 Beta Gluca, Niaciniaminde, Willow Herb, Chlorella Vulgaris and Phosphatidylcholine.

Make the best of your Vitamin A Serums!

To use these incredible age-reversing serums we always recommend pairing them with the Clear or Clear Plus+ Harmonized Water spray to help provide you with even better penetration and a smoother feel.

To read more about the science behind Retinaldehyde and why we chose it, read this article by Dr Johnson. Afterwards, mosey on over to the Science Center where you can find published articles on our ingredients as well as research summaries for your expanded knowledge!

Winter Skin Tips

by Ami Shvartzman, Director of Education

Winter Skin Tips
As I sit staring at the snow-flocked trees and watching my breath as it fogs up the window, I’ve had a realization. Like it or not winter has arrived! With colder temps and dryer days winter weather can wreak havoc on your skin. Here are some tips to keep your skin winter ready:

Bump up the moisture to aid that barrier


Winter weather mixed with indoor heating solutions can cause dry and harsh conditions both in the air and on your skin. Our skin’s barrier is the first line of defense when it comes to bacteria, UV radiation, environmental toxins, dry climate, etc. It is important to support the outer layer of our skin by not stripping it with harsh cleansers and exfoliants. Osmosis’ Cleansers use non-drying, gentle surfactants (from Kiwi- Kumquat and Coconut) to assist in keeping our skin’s barrier intact. Osmosis Moisturizers utilize ingredients that mimic our skin’s natural moisture. You may also find, however, that this time of year it is often beneficial to “bump up your moisturizer” and use something slightly richer than you may be currently using. Simple changes such as adding a drop of our emu oil based Immerse may be the key to a perfect winter complexion.

Ultra gentle exfoliation


For skin that is dry, dull and dehydrated, using a mild enzyme exfoliant 2-3 times per week can help to smooth out the upper epidermal layers without causing inflammation. Try our Polish cranberry enzyme mask which gently lifts dead skin cells and superficial debris. This mask also contains a small amount of L-Lactic acid, a hydrating AHA and the powerhouse antioxidant Co-Q10 and leaves skin protected and radiant.

Indulge with a mask


Shorter days and longer nights call for more time at home, and more time for you to pamper yourself! Now is the time to introduce a mask into your regimen. A mask with moisturizing and hydrating properties can really benefit skin that has been affected by winter’s fury. Try our new Tropical Mango Barrier Repair Mask which is designed to restore, nourish and hydrate the skin. This delicious smelling mask uses various fruit and nut butters to soothe dehydrated and irritated skins.

Keep quick fix products on hand


Osmosis makes it easy for you to keep dry skin issues at bay! Just pop one of our Age Defying Treatment Concealers in your purse for easy access to Argan Oil, Apricot Kernel Oil, Coconut Oil as well as Vitamin E and Shea Butter located in our fantastic moisture stick. Keeping Refresh PM on hand, an intensely moisturizing eye serum, makes for a great lip treatment as well! And don’t leave home without a bottle of our Mineral Hydration Mist, a great way to revive and rehydrate your skin throughout the day. This refreshing mist contains ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, a water-binder which is hydrating without being heavy, and Saccharide Isomerate which is a powerful humectant making this product a winner for dry skin.





Stay warm and remember to take care of your skin this winter!
