Vaculifter – What To Do If It Loses Suction

January 17th, 2012

I emailed the manufacturer of the Vaculifter looking for a tip on what to do if your Vaculifter suddenly loses suction. They suggested the following:

“Sometimes the tube from the cup to the ball can get blocked by face or body oil, etc.

The only way to try to get it clean is to take a bowl of warm water, put a little bit of dish detergent in it, put the cup of the vaculifter under water and start pumping the ball until the ball is filled with water.

After this procedure take it out of the bowl and “pump” it dry – meaning get all the water out of the rubber ball.

Then leave it for 24 hours to get it dry completely.”

Arid Climates and the EGF Serum Capsules

January 9th, 2012

I received an email from a wonderful client (thank you Shirley!) who was having a difficult time getting the EGF Serum out of their capsules. If you live in a dry climate, you may be having the same issue! Shirley gave me the fix – here it is:

“Hello, Nanci ~ I’m just writing to fill you in on how I “solved” the problem of the EGF capsules that got so hard I had to use pliers to get the serum out of them :^)

Seems it’s the humidity, or lack thereof. Since the capsules hardened up a few days after the opening of the jar, I knew it had to be something here in Colorado, not there in Connecticut.

Indeed, it is the lack of humidity. I sprinkled a little water on the lid, shook the jar, and next day all was well. I continue to add moisture, and sure enough, all continues to be well!

Thus, it appears that in normal climes, e.g. most of the US, the little moisture absorbing pack attached to the inside of the lid is useful; here in Colorado it is death to those cute little capsules.

This is just FYI, in case someone from the arid west writes to you with the same problems of hard capsules – you will have a reply for them.”

THANK YOU SHIRLEY! As the cold weather sets in and the heat is on, I may have to do that myself!

Matrixyl Synthe’6 Added To 3 Best Sellers!

January 4th, 2012

Happy New Year everyone!

What better way to start the new year with improved formulas! As you know, I’ve recently added Acetyl Tetrapeptide-9 to my Matrixyl formula and CP Accelerator (both the normal/dry formula and the newer acne/oily formula). Well, now I’ve just added Matrixyl Synthe’6 to all three formulas.

NOTE: 20% Matrixyl 3000 Serum has just been renamed to MULTI-ACTIVE MATRIXYL SERUM 25%

This is WHY I added it:

Matrixyl ®synthe’6™ is the new addition to the Matrixyl family of ingredients. This powerhouse Peptide dramatically smoothes and refines skin. Noticeable improvements are visible in 4 key ways:

• Reduces wrinkle volume by up to 21%
• Reduces wrinkle depth by up to 19%
• Increases skin smoothness
• Increases hydration levels

Matrixyl ®synthe’6™ is a deoxygenated lipopeptide that stimulates the synthesis of 6 major ingredients in the skin’s matrix and dermal-epidermal junction (collagen I,III, IV, fibronectin, hyaluronic acid). The result is that skin is rebuilt from the inside causing wrinkles to be smoothed out.

Matrixyl ®synthe’6™ fills in wrinkles from the inside particularly on the forehead and the crow’s feet for a visibly smoother and plumper skin and even more particularly the lifting effect and the wrinkle spread.

The 6 major constituents that Matrixyl ®synthe’6™ stimulates:

Easy Eye Solutions Review – Dark Circles & Wrinkles MUCH Improved!

January 3rd, 2012

Dear Nanci,

The Easy Eye Solutions Instant Eye Tuck & Dark Circle Treatment is really a miracle worker! I had bad circles from years of dealing with hay fever and allergies and the skin around my eyes had lots of wrinkles and damage from all those years of rubbing my itchy eyes on what used to be an almost daily basis. I’m 28 and I joked that I had the eyes of a 60 year old lol. My allergies have pretty much gone away now and I started using some skin creams about a year ago which somewhat helped my eyes up to a point, then stopped. But now after about a week or two of using the eye tuck, my dark circles are about 80-90% gone and my wrinkles are more than half way smoothed out. My eyes haven’t looked this great since I was probably 12 (when my allergies started)! So thanks so much for selling this product, I cannot express how happy I am with it, I don’t have to hide my undereye area behind my glasses anymore!!

Best regards,
Nicole

All Trans Retinol 2.0% – Transforming Skin Without Irritation

December 12th, 2011

Daniel has been using All-Trans Retinol 2.0% instead of perscription Tazorac and is very happy with her results – so am I! Thanks for taking the time to tell me about it Daniel! Spending two years developing my All-Trans Retinol formula was worth every second!

Dear Nanci,

Your all-trans retinol is so incredible, my sister bought me the 2% one and it’s transformed my face in the most unbelievable way. I had been prescribed Tazorac by my doctor and it was working but the irritation and dryness was absolutely horrendous. I’m getting much better results from your All-Trans Retinol 2.0% and it’s leaving my skin so hydrated. I have your Pumpkin peel and it’s wonderful and I know it’s the glycolic and the pumpkins natural Vitamin A content that makes the peel so special. I wish you a very wonderful Christmas and New Year.

Age Spot Remover – this stuff really works! Formula 5-5-5

December 9th, 2011

Formula 5-5-5 is getting more raves again…. how wonderful it is to know that my clients are really seeing results. Sheryl has been using Formula 5-5-5 for two months now. I received this from her this morning:

“Nanci,

I just wanted to let you know how extremely satisfied I am with the Formula 5-5-5 product. It has worked wonders on my “spots”.

On my right lower cheek, I have 2 very large sun spots (one is about 3x the size of a pencil eraser and the other is about 1 inch long and 1/16 inch wide, I know this one is odd). After using the 5-5-5 product for almost 2 months now, the 1-inch long spot has dramatically decreased in size (and I mean dramatically). It is now actually two smaller spots. The middle of it just faded away. I can’t believe it! The other spot has become extremely lighter with some areas in the spot actually breaking up.

When I first purchased this product I thought I’ll give it a try and thought it probably won’t help like most of the products out there. Boy was I wrong. It’s the only product that has helped with these two trouble spots. Thank you, thank you, thank you for creating this product. I’m giving it 2 thumbs up!”

THANK YOU SHERYL FOR TAKING THE TIME TO WRITE ABOUT IT!

DNA Serum, EGF Serum, All-Trans Retinol etc….. How long does it take before I see results?

November 22nd, 2011

I get this question a lot – how long does it take before I see results? That depends on three things, which product, the current condition of your skin, and your age.

Generally speaking, you can START to see results with the products in a couple of months. But I think that six months is the magic number for most of the “active” products. For some, depending on your individual skin and its condition, it could take up to a year.

You may notice immediate results with some of them – like the CP Accelerator, EGF Serum or the DNA Serum for example. However, those are most likely moisture retention or skin softness. For some (you’ve probably read about them in my blog), results including lifted skin and lines/wrinkles diminished is a reality after a short period of time. But for the most part, these products do not work so fast – and that’s expected. Your skin didn’t get the way it is overnight so it’s not going to look 10 years younger overnight. DNA Serum extends cell life – you will age slower.

You’ll notice immediate results with the 30% Pro Pumpkin Peel. Also the Microfiber Cleansing Cloth, Pretika Sonic Dermabrasion Brush, most likely the Rhassoul Cleansing Bar.

I had a client return her All-Trans Retinol 2.0% after 30 days because she didn’t notice any changes in her skin. Well, of course she didn’t – if you have unrealistic expectations, you won’t be a happy camper.

Our return policy for most of the products (unless otherwise stated in our guarantee) is 60 days. That’s really for a reaction that you may have to a product and the product just doesn’t agree with your particular skin. The refund policy isn’t for “if your skin doesn’t transform in 60 days”.

With continued use of the products, you will see results – just hang in there!

It’s wonderful to have effective anti-aging products!

November 21st, 2011

Hi Nanci,

I want to tell you how much I appreciate your help. Typically, I would not put my trust in someone I do not know to give me skin advice. But you are very honest, you never push your products or try to sell me a lot of things, and you never hesitate to recommend products made by someone else. This is rare and gives me a great deal of confidence – as does the fact that you listen to my skin concerns and sensitivities and really address both. On top of all this, the products you’ve recommended are effective! So please accept my thanks for all of this. Nancy

(Nancy is using the Rhassoul Cleansing Bar, DNA Serum, CP Accelerator, Super GHK Copper Peptide Serum, Lemon Peel Bioferment, Botox Alternative SPF30, EGF Serum Capsules, Carrot Seed Toner).

Dear Nanci

I just wanted to let you know that my skin is doing really well now that I’m using most of your products. Because I had acne and scarring when I was young, I have always thought my skin looked dreadful. However, I went for a facial last week and the therapist told me my skin looked really good and looked like it was very well cared for. The doctor who does botox for my 11′s told me my skin is looking very refined these days! Thank you Nanci! Paula

(Paula is using Collagen-Elestan Lifting Serum and Cream, All-Trans Retniol 2.0%, CP Accelerator, 30% Pro Pumpkin Peel, EGF Serum Capsules, DNA Serum, 20% Matrixyl 3000 Serum, Botox Alternative SPF30).

How to use Pure Silk Loose Minerals SPF20

November 16th, 2011

Some people are concerned about using loose minerals as far as inhaling them…. I am too, so here’s a technique for you.

I want to let you know how I apply them. What I do is dip my Kabuki brush into my Pure Silk Loose Minerals SPF20, tap any excess back into the jar, take a deep breath and apply them. I can’t hold my breath long enough to apply them to my entire face. So after I get as much on as I can, I exhale and leave the room to let the minerals settle. Then I come back and do it all over again until my makeup application is done.

Works for me!

Update: New Formula of DNA Serum for more oily skin types

November 15th, 2011

Hi Everyone!

The new formula of the DNA Serum for more oily skin types has been tweaked and is now being tested. The first test formula I made wasn’t making that much of a difference so it’s on to Round 2. My test team has received their new test formula just recently, so results are not in yet from all of them. Actually, I’ve only received feedback from one tester and for her it’s a go!

This is what I told the test team:

“Should you not notice any difference, or not enough to be significant, I’m not going to continue pursuing the new formula. That would mean I would have to use a less percent of the actual Renovage and the percent I use really is the magic number to get the results we’ve been getting from it.”

So with that, the verdict is still out but I will keep you posted!
