GET YOUR GLOW ON NATURALLY: Probulin Probiotic Skin Care

November 27, 2017 · Leave a Comment

Want the secret to an amazing skin glow? The answer may surprise you. Think topical probiotics. Skin is first defense from pathogens such as bacteria and germs, our skin is constantly fighting to keep us healthy. And sometimes that hard fight shows which makes skin look dull and sluggish. By topically equipping skin with the Probulin Probiotic Skin support topical system, not only is the body healthier, but the skin becomes more resilient to topical irritants and looks better because skin renewal is supported, better moisturized, and brighter.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PROBIOTICS AND SKIN

Taking oral probiotics for clear skin is an increasingly common beauty trick. While probiotics are most often associated with digestive health, many report an improved appearance of their skin when they take oral probiotics. This makes sense because as the body’s largest organ, skin can derive benefit from anything that improves our overall health.

But that’s only half the battle. If you ever used a Yogurt face mask you know that good bacteria makes skin look good and feel soft while calming irritation and inflammation. Skin inflammation, the natural reaction to foreign toxins, ravages skin by causing distorting swelling that results in stretched skin and eventual sagging and wrinkles. Just like topical Vitamin C serums best equip skin to make collagen by supplying vitamin C precisely and locally, topically applying probiotics stops inflammatory responses by eliminating the source.

Probulin pairs probiotics with natural ingredients like citrus to make skin healthy, nourished and hydrated

WHAT IS GAINED BY TOPICAL PROBULIN PROBIOTIC USE

That natural youthful glow from a post-yogurt facial is not all in your head: Clinical studies back that the use of Probiotic bacteria makes both skin and hair look healthy. (Levkovitch, T., et al. Probiotic bacteria induce a “glow of health.” PLOS One. 2013. 8(1): e53867.)

But the benefits that can be gained from topical probiotics use go well beyond what a DIY home facial can achieve. Probulin’s line of skincare ranges from cleansers to eye creams and contains Probuskin, which is a Lactococcus Ferment Lysate, giving the skin flora the optimal balance. It also contains numerous naturally nourishing, hydrating ingredients like African Marula Oil, Shea Butter, and organic Aloe Vera, Coconut and Vitamin C from lemon and orange, that encourage skin to look its’ best and can even achieve a younger look by undoing the ravaging effects of sun damage, dark spots, and inflammation.

Natural ingredients that nourish and hydrate the skin

WHAT IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT PROBULIN SKIN CARE

Probulin probiotics support unseen skin health processes that contribute to the skin’s natural regenerative and defensive mechanisms. The products are also very gentle so they don’t dry it or strip it the skin of vital oils or nutrients.

When applied topically, probiotics also benefit skin health by providing moisture, UV radiation protection, as well as support the mechanisms that produce brighter and healthier skin, and speeding skin renewal.

Natural ingredients paired with topical probiotics protect and improve skin

WHY TRUST PROBULIN PRODUCTS

All Probulin products are formulated by a team of two doctors: a board-certified Naturopathic Doctor and a prominent gastroenterologist and author who works extensively with Probiotics. Probulin is Non-GMO, Gluten Free, Soy Free, Wheat Free, Dairy Free, and Magnesium Stearate Free.

PUTTING PROBULIN TO THE TEST: MY EXPERIENCE

We tried four products of the Probulin line: the Probulin Probiotic Facial Cleansing Gel, Probulin Probiotic Facial Serum, Probulin Probiotic Day Cream, and Probulin Probiotic Night Cream.

Probulin Probiotic Facial Cleansing Gel

The cleanser is the first step in the system. Probulin Probiotic Facial Cleansing Gel is a gentle made for all skin types with a natural hint of lavender and citrus. Made with Sugar Cane extract, Maple Sugar extract, Citrus Aurantium Fruit Extract (Orange), and Lemon Fruit Extract, the high Vitamin C base helps make skin brighter and visibly healthier.

Probulin Probiotic Facial Cleansing Gel has a blend of lemon, orange, and lavender oils

The scent is light and pleasant, it creates a soft foamy light lather and washes away clean and skin does not feel tight after use.

The scent is lavender and citrus from natural essentials oils

What’s so special about this cleanser? Skin, like your gut, has an ecosystem that requires a delicate balance in cleansing so as not to unduly strip away good bacteria and natural oils. Unlike most cleansers that strip away healthy nutrients, moisturizing oils, and good bacteria that promote and maintain skin health, Probulin cleanser retains the helpful bacteria and oils, resulting in less skin dryness and premature wrinkles.

Ingredients include sugar cane, lemon, orange, maple sugar and lavender

It is to be used twice a day before applying the eye and face creams and the intensive serum.

Just one pump for face and throat

I also felt the Cleansing gel makes my skin appear noticeably brighter.

PROBULIN PROBIOTIC FACIAL SERUM

Probulin PROBIOTIC Facial Serum is an intensive treatment, it is applied prior to the other creams including the day cream or eye cream immediately after cleansing.

Probulin Probiotic Facial Serum

While the skin is not left dry or stripped of natural oils from the cleanser, the intensive cream still offers a balancing dose of intensive hydration. Only a small bit is needed for the entire face, apply sparingly focusing on areas that could use some extra attention such as forehead and around the mouth. It absorbs quickly and leaves a dewy but not sticky finish. Of note, the serum is unscented.

One pump for the face and throat

Probulin Probiotic Day Cream

After the Serum is applied, follow up with the Day Cream. It is a light texture that does not feel sticky or heavy on the skin. My makeup applies smoothly atop the cream, with no pilling or melting. The scent is pleasant and my skin feels silky smooth.

Probulin Probiotic Day Cream Ingredients include Sugar Cane, Maple Sugar, Coconut, Aloe, Lemon and Orange

Makeup goes on smoothly over the PROBULIN Probiotic Day Cream

PROBULIN PROBIOTIC NIGHT CREAM

The Night Cream is light, creamy fluid that absorbs quickly into the skin. My skin just drank it in and it left a dewy but not sticky glow. I really like how great my skin looks when I awake in the morning: soft, dewy and fresh as if I got a great nights’ sleep, even when I didn’t.

Probulin Probiotic Night Cream

The Night Cream is a luxe fluid consistency

Absorbs into skin immediately

Ingredients include aloe, lemon, orange, lavender, and chamomile

RESULTS

On the whole, with the combination of products, my skin is less irritated and appears brighter and smoother. I love the glow and evenness of my skin tone, it looks healthier and I look more awake. I didn’t realize how my skin looked somewhat sluggish even when wearing makeup until I saw how healthy it could look without foundation.

CONCLUSION

The Probulin line of Probiotic topical skin care treatment provides the skin with the defenses to counteract pathogens while promoting skin renewal processes. When paired with an oral probiotic, the skin can attain its’ optimal balance for healthy skin that glows! The cleanser washes away clean and the Day Cream, Serum and Night Cream absorb well without a greasy feel. I find that inflammation and redness are reduced while using the products and I am experiencing few acne breakouts. My skin looks fresh and dewy. Don’t rely on makeup to glow, get a natural glow from probiotic products that improve your skin by supporting the body’s own natural mechanisms to promote skin health and renewal.

The combination of ingredients intrigued us, there is such an amazing cocktail of combinations used within the line. Ingredients include both National Institute of Health studied, state of the art newly discovered Apple Stem Cells for wrinkle reduction to centuries-old methods used is Aveduredic medicine for skin and hair beauty. There are three reasons we find this particularly interesting.

If you buy these ingredients individually if you can find them, they are often pricey. The aforementioned Apple Stem Cell sells for at least $30 as a serum. Some ingredients are practically impossible to find in organic skincare.
Typically, there are two or three main ingredients in a product with supporting ingredients, but nearly ALL of the ingredients in these lines are each “beauty stars” all on their own. There aren’t the filler ingredients typically seen even in organic skin care lines. And each product boasts numerous skincare superstars.
Z Skin reports that because there are so many active, effective ingredients, that it works 30 times faster than their competitors to erase fine lines, wrinkles, dark age spots, restoring hydration, all while lifting and firming. That sounds like a big get, so we decided to test the Z Skin Age Defying System for ourselves.

The Z Skin 100% Organic Age Defying System contains eight organic anti aging products for eyes, face, and neck.

It is suitable for men and women and uses numerous natural ingredients combined together to create a beauty cocktail for the skin. There is no scent to each product, but adding scent is optional.

There are a staggering number of active, organic ingredients in each product and within the line as a whole, so when used in tandem, the results are excellent. The entire line is 100% organic, anti-aging, all natural, vegan, USDA, paraben free and preservative free.

Face Lift Toner

Face Lift Toner contains Rosehips, Jojoba, Vitamin E, Orange, Grape, Safflower, Flaxseed, Baobab, Myrrh, Juniper Berry, Papaya, Neem, and Castor.

RESULTS: I am normally not a fan of toner because it stings and makes my face feel tight, but all of the ingredients in this toner are more hydrating and soothing than skin-stripping.

Face Lift Wash

Z Skin Lift Lotion

Z Skin Lift Lotion is an SPF 45 lotion that helps tighten, lift and lighten discoloration. Apply twice a day after washing the face. It contains:

Maca reduces the effects of aging and gives the skin strength.
Triphala is used in Averudic medicine to remove toxins.
Hibiscus naturally firms skin. It also contains Vitamin C to treat acne, scars, and eczema. It is called the Botox plant because it retains the skin’s elasticity, making it look younger for longer, and treats fine lines.
Amalaki is Amla or Indian Gooseberry, which prevents damage to skin and soothes redness.
Bhringarai is used in Ayurvedic medicine as an Antifungal, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory.
Vitamin A & D is a natural Retinol
Wakame is a seaweed used in several of the products.

Rosehip is a concentrated Vitamin C that soothes skin
Red Algae enhances the skin’s barrier function, replenishes moisture, and increases its moisture retention capabilities.

Z Skin Face Firming Lotion contains Rosehip, Apple stem cells, Cinnamon, Coconut, Almond, Lavender, Aloe & a host of other organic goodies

RESULT: This feels light but supple on the skin, it goes on light, absorbs well and is not greasy, but does have a light dewy after the finish that I like.

DAYTIME EYE CREAM

The Daytime Eye Cream has an SPF 8 for protection around the delicate eye area. It targets dark circles, puffiness and eye bags.

Unique ingredients include Wakeme, a type of seaweed, Chamomile to soothe and Coffee to combat puffiness. Another super ingredient is Spirulina, which removes darkness around the eyes, and the slew of vitamins Spirulina contains nourishes skin until it glows.

RESULT: Let it sink in for a few minutes before applying eye makeup, but it is light and absorbs very well.

Daytime EyeCream contains Willow Bark, Camoille, Coconut, Coffee, Algae and Seaweed

AGE DEFYING EXTREME MOISTURIZER

Age Defying Extreme Moisturizer contains deeply hydrating and moisturizing ingredients such as nutrient rich carrier oils like safflower, avocado, almond, coconut, honey, shea butter, as well as grapefruit, ginger, and cinnamon. It is for use on chapped, dry, red and irritated areas of skin.
RESULT: Really hydrating, very useful after sun exposure, and on dry chapped lips. I like to apply it after using the Hydroxy Face Mask.

Extreme Moisturizer contains nourishing Almond, Coconut, Cinnamon, Ginger and other organic moisturizers

AGE DEFYING HYDROXY FACE MASK

TARGETS: Discoloration, scars, restores healthy skin
Hydroxy comes in various forms, better known as Alpha Hydroxy Acids (from citrus, in this case, an acid from lemons) lactic acids (from milk) and glycolic acid, which comes from sugar, all in one mask. It is combined with several skin-supporting ingredients to fade scars and promote skin rejuvenation.
RESULT: I was surprised this was as effective as an all-natural product. It is an every other evening type of mask, not as powerful as a weekly or monthly treatment, but there is no dryness or redness, no recovery time. As a side benefit, I noticed some of my stubborn blackheads loosened up. I liked the results on my throat, it reduces the appearance of the horizontal lines mid-neck. It smells of the Tartar and lemon upon application, but the scent dissipates as it dries, and I didn’t mind it since it is a treatment, not a lotion to wear all day.

AGE DEFYING NECK CREAM

Deeply hydrating, it nourishes and restores the skin with organic Shea Butter, Grape Seed, Vitamin E, Almond, Rosehip, and Orange. Grape seed is the foundation for high-end skin care lines like Caudalie and is highly effective in restoring delicate skin on areas like the throat, while still being light and easy to absorb.

TIP: Apply from jawline to chest

COLLECTIVE RESULTS

The result, when used together, makes for a formidable skin care program. I did not expect to see results as quickly as was promised, but I was especially impressed with how quickly my skin had a glow, and the improvement in fine lines and crow feet around my eyes looked better within the week. I particularly like how skin improves without redness, irritation or peeling skin.

LomaLux Acne Pills

May 30, 2017 · Leave a Comment

Adult acne is difficult enough to treat, but when combined with Rosacea it is nearly impossible. Treating acne despite rosacea is extremely difficult because so many topical treatments provoke Rosacea flare-ups. And for some blemishes, it is hard to assess at first if it is acne or rosacea, which delays topical treatment. Even in the absence of rosacea, most acne treatments are too harsh for the skin of an adult. Fortunately, LomaLux Acne Pill provides a natural treatment for both acne and rosacea, plus the redness and inflammation associated with both conditions. This patented mineral technology safely and effectively stops acne in teens and adults.

LomaLux Acne Pills were developed by a dermatologist as a natural acne remedy for mild to moderate acne and rosacea

UNDERSTANDING THE LIFECYCLE OF A BLEMISH

Did you know a blemish develops under the skin for up to two to three weeks before it’s visible? Topical treatments can’t penetrate that far into the deeper skin layers. It also takes weeks to entirely clear the residual inflammation, redness, skin damage and disruption. Discoloration can last much longer. LomaLux Acne Pill stops acne before it visibly erupts, resulting in clearer skin.

LomaLux Acne Pills target acne where it begins – deep in the skin

HOW LOMALUX ACNE PILLS WORK

LomaLux Acne Pills work like a vitamin and are a natural remedy that has been proven in clinical studies to safely combat acne from within by stimulating the body’s healing response. A combination of five mineral ingredients safely encourages the body to pre-emptively begin a recovery response to immediately heal an acne or rosacea breakout.

LomaLux Acne Pills are natural acne remedy to clear skin

ADVANTAGES OF LOMALUX OVER OTHER ACNE REMEDIES

This natural remedy is steroid-free, gluten-free, and lactose-free. LomaLux controls mild acne without the drying and irritating skin effects of topical treatments. It also treats moderate acne that typically requires antibiotics to treat, but it does so without the side effects and risks of repeated antibiotic use. Clinical studies show LomaLux to be highly effective for treating papulos-pustular (rosacea) acne.

TAKE LOMALUX BEFORE A BIG EVENT

Afraid of waking up on prom day, graduation, that big job interview, or a wedding with a giant new pimple or rosacea flare-up? Stop that pimple in advance by taking LomaLux in the weeks leading up to the big day to keep breakouts at bay.

For my weight, I take a customized dose of two tablets a day

INGREDIENTS

LomaLux has five active ingredients that are natural mineral elements which are used frequently for the treatment of a variety of conditions. In combination, they create an all-natural response that disrupts the pattern of acne and rosacea breakouts.

Niccolum Sulphuricum targets pimples and itching.
Kali Bromatum works on acne simplex, which is a bacterial infection of cysts deep within the skin. This type of acne must be treated or else it may leave scarring.
Zincum Oxydatum is flowers of zinc and works as an acne treatment
Hepar Sulphuris Calcareum targets the eruption of pimples before they start, especially small pimples, comedones, and sensitive painful pimples that tend to leave discoloration or a scar behind. It addresses inflammation, skin infections and prevents smaller pimples from growing into pustules.
Sulphur, a common component found in Biotin and several foods, is a natural element that disrupts skin eruptions and inflammation.

LomaLux Ingredients are all natural minerals

THE HISTORY OF LOMALUX

LomaLux was developed by a dermatologist for his patients, and it proved a highly effective preventive measure for twenty years. LomaLux went through extensive clinical testing with strict objective evaluation standards to determine how effective it was, including counting the number of blackheads, whiteheads, cystic and pustule pimples, scales of redness and inflammation.

DIRECTIONS & DOSAGE

These pills are taken daily. How many pills you take is determined by your weight in order to provide you with optimal results.

Weight Daily Dosage

50 – 100 lbs ………………….. 1 Pill Once A Day
100 – 150 lbs ………………… 2 Pills Once A Day
150 – 200 lbs ………………… 3 Pills Once A Day
Over 200 lbs …………………. 4 Pills Once A Day

DIRECTIONS: Chew pill & allow to dissolve in the mouth for 1-2 minutes before swallowing. Don’t eat or drink for 10 minutes afterward for maximum effectiveness.

I take two LomaLux chewable pills per day

For my weight, the recommended dosage is I two LomaLux chewable pills per day

I take two pills daily. These chewable tablets taste to me like blueberries. They dissolve quickly without an aftertaste.

RESULTS: PUTTING LOMALUX TO THE TEST

I had a breakout worse than I had in a long time: three pimples that had slowly formed and persisted over the course of weeks, one large, red and very obviously between my eyebrows, one on my chin, one on my lower cheek. Two of them were obvious, red, and were not going anywhere no matter how much topical treatment I put them. Oh, and I also even heavy concealer or green-tinted coverup would hide these pimples.

LomaLux says you can expect to see visible improvement in about two weeks, with clearer skin often within one week. Studies indicate people start to see results within one week and see maximum results at two to four weeks.

Personally, my acne took less than a week, but the redness and inflammation of those stubborn pimples were gone within two days, making them much less “angry” looking. While the angry pimples still existed for a few days, it was much easier to cover with concealer once the redness and inflammation were gone. I did not experience side effects, and in the clinical study, 100% of participants were also able to tolerate the tablets.

CONCLUSION

A natural remedy for the safe, effective treatment of acne and rosacea, LomaLux, when taken daily, leads to clearer skin for mild to moderate cases of acne and rosacea. Take LomaLux for two to four weeks before a big event to be confident your skin will be clear of breakouts. Suitable for teens and adults, LomaLux has none of the drying or irritating side-effects of topical skin care treatments.

Favorite Skincare Ingredients: Hyaluronic Acid

February 24, 2017 · Leave a Comment

Like an Instagram Filter for real life, Hyaluronic Acid plumps wrinkles & pores with intense hydration, making skin appear instantly youthful & dewy.

Hyaluronic Acid is by far one of our favorite skincare ingredients; we always look for it in serums and moisturizers because it makes skin look fantastic as it plumps out wrinkles and crinkles and makes skin glow. But Hyaluronic Acid won “beauty secret weapon” status in our StyleChicks Favorite Skincare Ingredients Series because it helps any anti-aging active ingredient work more efficiently. Learn about the short term and long term benefits of Hyaluronic Acid.

WHAT HYALURONIC ACID DOES

Hyaluronic Acid gets “beauty secret weapon” status due to its’ ability to hold enormous amounts of moisture; it can draw moisture from the air, sucking it into the skin. This moisture drawing ability has a dual benefit. Not only does it make skin as plump and dewy as possible, creating an environment where the skin contains as much hydration as it can hold, but it uses this water drawing ability to pull active ingredients deeper into the skin.

BENEFITS OF HOLDING MOISTURE

Wrinkles, fine lines, and pores temporarily “plump out” from all the moisture until they are barely visible, yet it does not make the skin seem puffy or bloated. Hyaluronic Acid works wonders on crows feet, eleven lines, wrinkles on and around the mouth, forehead lines, and smile lines.
Hyaluronic Acid causes an optical blur effect, smoothing tiny imperfections in skin including on the throat, chest, and decolletage

IT SERVES AS AN ACTIVE INGREDIENT BOOSTER

Many active ingredients that are amazing for the skin such as MSM, Vitamin C, Retinol, Peptides, B3, and Buckthorn Oil all do their best work in the deeper layers of the skin. But their molecules are typically too large to absorb deeply. Hyaluronic Acid is like a friend with VIP access; it uses its’ moisture pulling ability to draw these active ingredients into deeper skin layers. The deeper active ingredients can work, the better the collagen production.

This means deep discoloration, sun damage, and acne scars are all fade for a much clearer look to the skin. And when collagen production happens at a deeper level, it better supports for skin, resulting in less sagging.

WHAT IS HYALURONIC ACID?

Hyaluronic Acid occurs naturally in the skin, but it depletes as we age, and the body does not make more. Topical Hyaluronic Acid application in the form of a cream, gel or serum replaces levels in the skin, giving a youthful glow.

HYALURONIC ACID USE TIPS

It is imperative to use a moisturizer over your Hyaluronic Acid, as it draws as much moisture as possible into the skin. If Hyaluronic Acid can’t get enough moisture, the surface of the skin can appear DRY, because the Hyaluronic is still “thirsty.” I like to apply Hyaluronic Acid over damp skin; sometimes I mix a Hyaluronic cream or serum with some water before applying it to my face and eye area.
A small amount of serum or cream will cover your face. Apply more if needed, focusing on wrinkles, pores on the cheeks, and the wrinkles on the forehead and throat.
Apply Hyaluronic Acid over a Vitamin C serum or Peptide Serum to maximize your results
Do you use an at-home device such Handheld Light Therapy or the NuFace? Instead of the conductive cream, apply your intensive treatment serum first then apply a Hyaluronic Acid cream over that and Aloe Vera on top for better results. The Hyaluronic Acid drives the serum in deeper.
If you live in an area with higher environmental pollution, consider only using Hyaluronic Acid at night so that it does not pull the pollutants into your skin from the air.

Some Hyaluronic Acid creams and serums we like:

Aurora Cure Ultimate 100% Pure Hyaluronic Acid Serum: Professional Strength: a clear serum, not sticky, very potent, as it is 100% Hyaluronic, no fillers. I like to apply this during the daytime after I wash my face and it is still moist, I lightly apply the Hyaluronic, then pat on two light coats of moisturizer (Clinique Dramatically Different for example) and spritz my face with water in between layers to lock in hydration. Also very useful paired with a Vitamin C serum, but make sure to add a moisturizer on top!
SERUM CEUTICALS ALBUMIN & HYALURONIC ACID SERUM This is not a straight Hyaluronic, but the Albumin and Hyaluronic pairing together work wonders at reviving tired, older looking skin, and this has no chemicals or preservatives. Cool feature: this can be used ON EYELIDS (!!) without causing irritation.
Hyaluronic Acid Beauty Cream from Puritan’s Pride: They could charge a fortune for this cream, but instead, they sell a tub of 4 ounces for under $10, and it is frequently on the Puritan’s Pride Buy 2 Get 3 Free Sale, making it an absolute steal. It is amazing when applied to the throat, the face, jowls, on the shoulders, hands, and decolletage, use sparingly around the eyes. When it is applied, enlarged pores disappear, forehead wrinkles appear practically non-existent.
