Explore the Revolutionary Activating Liposome Complex: A New Era in Skin Correction

Unlock the secret to transformative skin health with our newly enhanced Activating Liposome Complex. Designed to tackle a broad spectrum of skin concerns, this groundbreaking formula delivers noticeable improvements from the first 24 hours up to several weeks of application.

At the heart of the Activating Liposome Complex lies the power of 1,3/1,6 Beta Glucans—a patented polysaccharide extracted from the cell walls of Baker’s yeast. Esteemed for its efficacy, 1,3/1,6 Beta Glucans has been the subject of over 1600 studies at leading research institutions, including Harvard Medical School and MD Anderson, among others. Celebrated as a Biological Response Modifier, this ingredient enhances the skin's innate capacity for self-repair.

Upon application, 1,3/1,6 Beta Glucans actively engages with the skin to address a variety of concerns, ranging from acne breakouts and dullness due to lifestyle factors, to damage caused by UVA exposure, aging signs, and even post-procedure recovery. It significantly improves the resilience of sensitive or compromised skin, reducing redness and signs of irritation within days to two weeks.

But that’s not all. The formula is supercharged with two potent cell energizers: Ergothioneine and Dermal Respiratory Factors (DRF). These components work synergistically to expedite the skin's recovery process, bolster antioxidant defense, and promote a balanced, healthy complexion. Ergothioneine, in particular, shields the skin from harmful environmental aggressors, offering a layer of protection against oxidative stress.

To further enhance the skin's hydration and protection, the Activating Liposome Complex employs a triple hydration strategy, ensuring deep, lasting moisture and safeguarding against future dehydration. This includes:

- TripleHAs: A blend of micro, low, and high molecular weight hyaluronic acids that hydrate every layer of the skin, stimulate cellular repair, and encourage natural hyaluronic acid production.

- Silver Ear Mushroom (Tremella Fuciformis): A cherished ingredient in traditional Chinese beauty, known for providing exceptional hydration—surpassing even Hyaluronic Acid—while boosting immunity and skin resilience.

- Trehalose: A remarkable antioxidant sugar from desert plants, offering unparalleled hydration and protection for cells even under the most extreme conditions.

It’s important to note that while the Activating Liposome Complex is adept at correcting visible skin imperfections, it is not designed to cure skin diseases or replace medical treatments.

Crafted without fragrances, colorants, or parabens, and fully vegan, this complex is a testament to our commitment to pure, effective skin care. Challenge your skin to empower itself, addressing multiple concerns with one revolutionary solution.

"What’s With The Hype Around Silk Pillowcases?" - by Cora Speidel

What’s with the hype around silk pillowcases?

Are silk pillowcases considered a magical cure for your skin woes?

I would not call them a magical cure but they are a better option when it comes to maintaining healthy skin on your face. Silk is a breathable, cool, smooth fabric that can help your skin while you sleep. Unlike other fabrics, silk is less likely to trap harmful dust or harbor fungi, yeast, and bacteria. Silk doesn’t create friction as you move throughout the night and helps prevent abrasion of your skin and hair. It also helps your skin retain moisture, which can aid in wrinkle prevention.

Silk or no silk, It is very important to wash AND change your pillowcase often. Experts recommend at least once a week. If you have really sensitive skin or are experiencing a break out, it may be beneficial to have several back up pillow cases so you can switch it out more frequently.

Keep in mind that every product you apply to your hair will likely end up on your pillow, which can absorb into your skin. That's why it’s important to check ingredients in your hair products, in addition to your skin products, to help prevent breakouts.

Lastly and most importantly, never forget the crucial step of cleansing your face before going to bed! This is your skin’s first line of defense before you lay down for the night.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST CLEANSER FOR YOUR SKIN TYPE

As a rule of thumb….if you have oilier skin then you will want to use a foaming or low foaming type cleanser. Foaming cleansers tend to do better at breaking up excess oil. Depending on how oily your skin is will determine the strength of the cleanser.

For normal to oil skin we recommend our Gentle Cleansing Gel.

This gel protect the skin’s delicate protective barrier as grease and impurities are gently washed away with this crystal-clear, no-soap, low-foaming gel. Unlike sulfates, volatile alcohols and other harsh cleansing agents that dissolve skin’s upper barrier as they clean (causing skin to feel tight, irritated and sensitive to other products), the plant-derived cleansers in Gentle Cleansing Gel are specifically formulated and tested to leave skin feeling beautifully clean and comfortable throughout the cleansing routine.

Does not contain fragrance, essential oils, colorants, volatile alcohols, urea, sulfates, acids, strong emulsifiers, lanolins, mineral oils, parabens or other commonly used sensitizers.

The next gel cleanser in our line-up is our Purifying Cleanser.

Good for Mild Acne-Prone, Oily, Moderate Acne-Prone and Comedogenic skin.

This gentle, sulfate-free cleanser has a uniquely thin consistency, allowing it to slip effortlessly beneath plugs blocking pores.

Pores stay clean down deep – where problems begin.

It contains a natural salicylic acid from Willow bark, plus foaming saponins from Yucca and other mild, naturally-derived cleansing agents dissolve surface oils and other debris on contact.

A patented blend of the most active fractions of Australian and New Zealand Tea Tree oils works quickly to balance hostile flora deep within pores without causing irritation or redness. 

Skin feels ultra-clean and comfortable – never tight or dry. 

Does not contain sulfates, benzoyl peroxide, colorants, synthetic fragrance or parabens. 

Dry and sensitive skin should use cleanser with little to no detergent and they should foam little if at all. With sensitive skin you don’t want to dry out the natural sebum which helps protect the fragile barrier function. Generally speaking dry and sensitive skin should use cleansing milks like our Gentle Cleansing Lotion.

This cleanser gently dissolve makeup and other impurities that can irritate sensitive skin, without disturbing its crucial protective barrier.

This water-rinseable cleansing lotion rinses easily with warm water, so sensitive skin gets minimal contact during the cleansing process, and rinses completely, so skin isn’t exposed to the trauma of a toner.

Sensitive skin feels remarkably clean, fresh and moist, without the signs of irritation experienced with other cleansing systems.

Does not contain fragrance, essential oils, colorants, volatile alcohols, urea, sulfates, acids, strong

emulsifiers, lanolins, mineral oils, parabens or other commonly used sensitizers.

For a more medicated cleanser specifically for acne prone skin our Salicylic Face and Body wash is perfect.

 Micro-exfoliating cleanser with 2% salicylic acid and 1% moisturizing and antimicrobial coconut oil at low pH 4.5 for enhanced dead cell removal. Removes surface dead cell build up to improve luminosity and even skin tone.

HOW TO GET RID OF MILIA (THOSE LITTLE WHITE BUMPS UNDER YOUR SKIN)

I get asked all the time what the tiny little white bumps are around the eyes and other places on the skin.

Here is a great post from skincare.com that couldn’t explain it better.

---

If you’ve landed here, then it’s very likely that you’ve already asked everyone you know what the small white bumps underneath your skin could be, done your internet research — and ultimately decided you desire the glowy, glass-skin look Instagram dreams are made of (#same) and want visible bumps gone for good. If you’ve ever tried to pop these types of bumps, formally called milia, then you know it’s nearly impossible and leaves behind angry red marks long after you’ve given up. To get the scoop on how to get rid of milia we tapped Miami-based dermatologist, Skincare.com consultant and Specific Beauty founder Dr. Heather Woolery-Lloyd.

What Is Milia?

Although you might think milia is a type of acne, according to Dr. Woolery-Lloyd, they’re actually a build up of “tiny white bumps under the skin that contain keratin, the protein in our skin, hair and nails.” You can get milia regardless of age; it can be found in anyone from infants to adults, and it usually appears around the eyes and nose.

How Dermatologists Get Rid of Milia

Luckily, milia is easily removed by a dermatologist. “Unlike a pimple, milia do not have a natural opening to express the contents through, so a sterile needle is used to form a small opening and then contents are expressed,” says Dr. Woolery-Lloyd. “With this treatment, they typically heal without any scarring.”

Can You Get Rid of Milia at Home?

While there’s no DIY method for getting rid of milia, Dr. Woolery-Lloyd suggests adding products with salicylic or glycolic acid into your skin-care routine. These acids may not treat existing bumps, but they may help reduce your chances of new milia appearing. Topical retinoids can also be helpful for preventing milia, says Dr. Woolery-Lloyd, “because they can increase cell-turnover rate in the skin, leading to improved exfoliation of dead skin cells on skin’s surface.” One thing you should never do, however, is pick at them yourself. Because, as previously mentioned, milia don’t have a natural opening, and if you try emptying them at home it could lead to irritation and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

The Triple Threat For Younger Looking Skin

I get asked a lot what my advice is for more youthful skin and the first thing I tell my clients is that the best healthy-aging product you can buy is a SUNSCREEN.

Sunscreen is essential in protecting your skin no matter your skin color and no matter where you live. Often people in the Seattle area tell me they don’t wear a sunscreen because it’s grey and rainy but think of it this way…..if the sun is in the sky then you need to protect yourself. I always recommend minimum SPF30 but even an SPF15 that’s in your moisturizer will do the trick if you aren’t outside much.

The second thing I recommend to all of my clients is a RETINOL. Our Advanced Retinol visibly firms skin and reduces appearance of wrinkles and pores. It helps fade age spots and evens skin tone. Our Advanced Retinol also contains lipids which help restore moisture barrier and minimize any dryness or peeling from retinol.

And finally…….ANTIOXIDANTS…..which help prevent skin damage and reverse damage already incurred. Our treatments are rooted in antioxidant rich solutions and our Triple C&E Complex is one of our most popular serum options. Layer your antioxidants under sunscreen for added protection.

So there you have it……the triple threat for younger, healthier looking skin……SUNSCREEN, RETINOL AND ANTIOXIDANTS!
