TRIED AND TRUE!!!!!

YUMMY!!!!!

10 am at the jacob javitz center.  nyc baby!

International Esthetics, Cosmetics + Spa Conference.  

 (top left) receiving the light therapy + (bottom left) the after shot of barb and I

Testing out the "ultimate facial" on the Synergie - Elite Triple Combo!  A machine that does:  FACIAL VACUUM MASSAGE, MICRODERMABRASION, LIGHT THERAPY (BLUE AND RED RAYS) + BODY VACUUM MASSAGE FOR CELLULITE REDUCTION!  

I met w. my esthetician, Barb - was amazing - a wealth of knowledge and so very sweet!

barb explained the "ultimate facial" to me and i sign the standard waiver.

the demonstration  began with a cleanse.  doesn't every skin care treatment being that way?  LOL!  next she performed a very light facial vacuum massage - which felt AMAZING!  not only did it feel great, barb, informed me that my face was getting a great shade of pink indicating that my skin was becoming flushed with lots of nutrient rich, fresh blood and lymphatic fluid that would help to build collagen.  ( oh - by the way - get used to the word collagen - BARB - was all about COLLAGEN!!!!!)  

next - barb did the micodermabrasion, it consisted of vertical passes, followed by a series of  horizontal pass. -  O M G!  i can't believe these words are came out of my mouth, i tell you this with shame!  "i had to ask her to turn down the strength of the crystal flow!"  this baby can crank out a micro!  i know that a microdermabrasion treatment that is really aggressive can expose some beautiful, fresh skin.  it' cuts down on the crow's feet, it evens out the tone, it makes your skin more luminous (makes it shine ;-).....).  the down side, the new skin is a little tender for the first few hours after the treatment.

BUT...........

now for the creme' de la creme'!  the light therapy AKA photo-rejuvenation.  it's not hocus pocus - i swear!  here's some technical info.  over the years it has been proven to increases ATP synthesis which accelerates collagen production!  collagen is the serum in your body that helps to heal!  it's also what keeps the skin tight!  bottom line. i didn't feel a thing, AND, after a very, very aggressive microdermabrasion - i had NO post treatment stinging which can be common with a very aggressive microdermabrasion.  

barry gives this 2 THUMBS way up.  look for this soon at 3000bc!!!

testing 1, testing 1,2.. testing 123.......

we want more!  we want to step up our game!

these are the demands, i've been getting from all of the estheticians at the spas.  

the majority of the skin care department has been with 3000bc for nearly 3 years and have gone through several advanced training with medical estheticians.  as their training has advanced, so has their desire to do more advanced skin care treatments.

my job is to go out into the market and find them what they want.  which brings me to my current project.  i'm at the "international esthetics, cosmetics & spa conference".  

with my super sleuth hat on, i came across "synergie" a company that produces a piece of equipment that offers an "ultimate facial" - 1. vacuum massage, 2.  microdermabrasion, 3. light therapy.  sounds yummy right!

so i'm testing it out today at 10 am.  

above is a picture of me taken at 7:30 am est.  i'll post a picture of me right after the test treatment.  you can all be the judge of how i look after the treatment.

i'm really excited.  i'm going to tell them to be really aggressive - because, when i get micro at 3000bc, i always get an aggressive treatment!

i can't wait!!!

barry's favorite product

herbal renewal day serum

1 oz.  $50.

ok, im closer to 40 than i am 20 and i am a huge fan of acids, microdermabrasion, and retinols.  i want to strip my skin down to fresh new baby-like skin!  "keep me young looking!"  i have oily skin, with large pores, that can handle just about anything that i put on it.  when i've told many estheticians what i can put on my skin without having it react - they are astounded!

yet - every day - i use the 3000bc herbal renewal day serum as a day-time moisturizer.  yes - i want to look younger and know that many of the scientific lines with all of their anti-aging bells and whistles will be able to do that - AND I LOVE THEM FOR IT!  at the end, or in this case, the beginning of the day - i want to NOURISH + REPLENISH my skin.  

the HERBAL RENEWAL DAY SERUM is "wonderful, amazing, delicious, stupendous, and FIERCE (HAHA)!  shea butter and aloe vera (need i say more?) are perfect to nourish my skin.  BUT - it gets even better, organic floral water and oat beta glucan work over-time to nourish and hydrate my skin.  

sure, i'll strip down my skin!  i'll peel off layers - making 40 look more like.....eh, im going for at least 34?  BUT - i also want to make sure the new skin stays looking young.  that's where the pure and natural come into play!
