Want to know an insider tip that will dramatically decreases wrinkles, stress and improve your health? The best part is, it’s free to everyone! It won’t cost any of us a dime, but maybe an extra hour or so of your time. The trick is getting a full 8 hours of sleep. Seems simple right?!

Studies have proven time and time again that during your sleep cycle you skin naturally repairs itself due to the growth hormone (A.K.A the youth hormone) that is released during sleep. Also, during the hours of 11pm- 7am (or whatever you time of slumber may be) levels of cortisol are lowered that were most likely heightened during the hectic daytime hours. High levels of cortisol will; increase body fat, cause depression, thin the skin, and are toxic to the body.  Falling into a deep sleep causes your body to release more melatonin in the body which has positive effects on your skin and immune system. Melatonin helps regulate the body’s internal clock to keep the body in rhythm trying to balance out any negative levels of cortisol. So its best encourage this process at night by applying hydrating moisturizes to support the repair process.

Anyone of us can testify that when we do not get a good night sleep it shows. It’s more difficult to focus and we become easily stressed which in turn causes those bad levels of cortisol to rise. Just remember when those levels increase your only aging yourself, so it’s important to take time to relax before bedtime. Receiving an adequate amount of sleep will restore the glow and luminosity in your skin and you wake feeling more alert and recharged.

Do you ever wish that there was just one skincare product out there that did everything you’ve ever wanted? Just one product that would take of all of your skincare needs and concerns? Well, after five long years of research, Dr. Perricone, in collaboration with Los Alamos Laboratories physicists has created just that – Cold Plasma is your genie in a jar that will transform your skin.

This ground-breaking product had been proven to suit anyone from mature to young, male to female. Individually meeting the wide range of unique skin care needs, this also advances your current anti-aging regimen with the influence of biochemical individuality. Biochemical individuality is the ability to adjust your skin’s distinctive needs through the use of phospholipids. This is a division of lipids that is an important unit of cell membranes, and their purpose is to form these lipid bilayers. These bilayers contain hydrophilic heads which attract water and hydrophobic tails which repel water, in return giving the perfect custom approach for your skin needs. By mimicking the natural phospholipids found in our skin cells this allows the products delivery system to be more compatible and highly effective with our own skins function.

Some of the key ingredients that you will read about when researching the product are Dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE), L-Tyrosine, and DHA. The DMAE helps to reduce sagging and promotes tightening so that skin will appear lifted and firm. The L-Tyrosine is an amino acid, one of the building blocks of protein, which supports the production of melanin or pigment thereby assisting with brightening the skin. This amino acid is also considered a mild antioxidant. The DHA is major fatty acid that preserves the youthfulness of your skin, provides advanced hydration, and hinders future damage.

The main attribute of Cold Plasma technology is the products ability to read skin issues and fully utilize all main nutrients to repair any depletion in the skin. According to Perricone, this technology results in preventing the 10 most visible signs of aging and assists with the primary concerns of wrinkles, enlarged pores, dryness, redness, discoloration, uneven skin tone, impurities, loss of firmness, loss of smoothness, and loss of radiance. In a nutshell, this super-hero of a product addresses multiple issues but has one common goal – to give you great, healthy skin.

What is acne? Besides a nightmare, acne is the infection of the follicle that has been blocked by an overproduction of oil, debris and dead skin cells. Acne can take on many different forms including: whiteheads, blackheads, papules, pustules and cysts.

Whiteheads – are smaller in size and remain under the skin, they can come to a white ‘head’, thus the name whitehead.

Blackheads – are similar to whiteheads but have reached the surface of the skin and oxidized, therefore turning black or grey in color.

Papules – White or pink bumps on the surface of the skin.

Pustules – Similar to papules but usually have an irritated red ring with a pus-filled top.

Cysts – Most of the infection in under the skin surface. Cystic acne is often hormonal and common in adults. Cystic breakouts can scar easily and are often painful to the touch.

Acne is associated with a hormone called androgen, which can cause an excess of sebum production in the pore.

You can treat a mild case of acne with a variety of different over the counter products. Look for ingredients like benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, sulfur, retinol, and glycolic acid.
