At first, the words “drinkable sunscreen” sound like an oxymoron. Who, after all, would want to down a bottle of broad spectrum SPF?
But this new dietary supplement, the brainchild of Ben Johnson, MD, founder and formulator of Osmosis Pur Medical Skincare, is actually purified water that is imprinted with unique, vibrational waves which isolate out the precise frequencies needed to protect you from UV rays. 
The idea behind this technique, according to Dr. Johnson, is to address the factor of the skin’s innate protection mechanisms. “UV Neutralizer, like all sunscreens, provides a majority of the protection your skin needs,” he says. “However, it is in partnership with the skin’s innate protection mechanisms. This means that all sunscreens are limited by the immune strength of the user. This is why so many people burn even when sunscreen is used.”Dr. Johnson’s point is that the amount of time that someone can stay out in the sun, and not burn, is dependent on health, medication as well as the individual’s immune system. Some can handle 90 minutes of sunshine with say, a topical sunscreen; others may able to tolerate more.The frequencies that have been imprinted on Osmosis’ water will vibrate on skin in a way as to cancel approximately 97% of the UVA and UVB rays (according to Osmosis Pur Medical Skincare, this percentage is similar to broad spectrum SPF 30 products).This results in three hours of coverage that can be repeated for extended stays in the sun. These two different UV Waters allow for increased sun exposure (30x more than normal), protects your eyes, doesn’t wash off when swimming and can increase your tanning response.Information Source: osmosisskincare.comThe price of this product is also reasonable: $30 gets you 3.38 oz. It’s available in Tan and No Tan frequency formulas. Learn how to take this product, dosage, frequency and more for either the Tan and No Tan product.

As a woman in my mid forties, (wow it’s still so strange to say out loud) I can tell you first hand that we all need to be much more consistent with our skin care and facial regimens. Just like your closet needs new clothes, your face needs exfoliation, hydration and more power packed ingredients via serums to give it that added glow.By doing monthly facials, you can help prevent damage and reverse the signs of aging. Also, by using natural sunscreen daily, you can help protect the growth of new skin cells.At the age of 40 is when you want to pay more attention to your sleep patterns and how much sleep you are getting. Try to be consistent, as proper sleep plays a huge role in the beauty of your skin.
Things like “eco friendly”, “low fat” and “make you skinny” products were unheard of when my mother was growing up. Life was all about sanity, not vanity.I can tell you, I have been in the industry for over 20 years and when I started, natural products didn’t do jack AND THE clinical products were harsh and scary and often very damaging which was either evident pretty quickly or noticed later.With science and technology consistently evolving, so has our beauty regiment and our desire to look good and feel good. For most of us a non fat, no milk, no sugar latte is the way to go. Back in the day, it was coffee with cream, coffee with sugar or coffee with both and that was your only option.Much like old school skin care regiments, it was soap and water with some petroleum jelly and baby powder. Boy oh boy how things have changed.Today, the options are plentiful and access to expertise more accessible.Now, eating right for your body type and caring for your skin are essentials and there is no shame in that. We have come to understand the skin and how it works and we can formulate regiments that work so much better, which even allow us to add the sugar and the fat to our morning latte without dreading every single affect it has.We could all use a little help in the “growing up” process and of course the skin care regiments.Stay tuned later this month as we share some great tips mother’s and daughters of all ages can use to help survive your own aging process and a little preventive care along the way to keep you looking your best.

Are you seeing stress and age creeping in? Have you neglected your skin a bit and want to advance to your #skingoals faster? We have all been there and even though it can be hard to find the time, or even know what to do, it’s important we keep our skin goals as a priority in our daily beauty routines.If your looking for a way to give your skin optimal care try a series of facial treatments. A series is defined as a set of treatments, where you will come in more frequently from a few to several sessions, on a weekly basis. This will kick up your game and progress much further and faster than you can with the monthly maintenance. This is often done 1-2 x per year as a way to keep your skin looking optimal and slowing down the signs of aging.Skin care protocol for home. Although we recommend regular visits to a skin care professional if you can’t come in monthly, adjusting your homeware regimen can be “just what the doctor ordered.” As seasons change, so do our skin needs. Check your cabinets at home to be sure you aren’t letting old products pile up and spoil, or using things that just don’t work for you anymore. You can come in for a skin care consult and see if its time to use them up or toss them! Ramping up and adjusting products at home can be a total skin savior right about now in the thick of this cold spell we are having in San Francisco!If you aren’t sure what is best for your skin, that’s ok too. Professionals, like myself, are here to do assessments and give you the breakdown on what would really be best for your skin. Don’t hesitate to ask.
The internal work must also be done which is about changing the way we see and speak to ourselves, the words we use. Words are very powerful, they are either a blessing or a curse. We typically would never speak to a friend or loved one the way we do ourselves and if we want to feel better shifting the language is the essential first step.You must change the dialogue. Speak to yourself the way you would the person you love the most (which should be you but you may need to work your way to that.) Years ago, I used to have a harsh dialogue with myself. It was so automatic. I had to re-learn how to use my words in a more loving way starting with myself first.We must take the wise words from this beauty, India Arie from her hit song Video. ” I learned to love myself unconditionally because I am a queen.”
Do you embrace and love every inch of you? Or do you struggle to see the beauty in yourself when you look in the mirror? Do you see how you have “aged” or where your face and body aren’t the way they used to be? If so, it may be time for a little more self love and acceptance, as well as an action plan! Time for a little internal and physical makeover if you will.The physical work to address is about how can we improve the outside appearance to feel our most beautiful in our skin now. Figure out what is it that you can change and do it! Take positive action steps toward having the best healthiest version of your body and skin while loving you where you are now. There certainly is a correlation with looking good and feeling good.Here are my suggestions for changing the way you look and feel in your skin & body. Sometimes we need to accelerate or give a little boost to kick start the progress to get where we want to be just like when we first start our workouts and then move to maintenance mode. This is when a

I can’t believe it is almost the end of January already! I swear time is moving faster. I personally am working on starting off 2017 with new healthy habits and systems for my personal life. These habits will allow me to level up, accomplish my dreams and goals, and to feel and look great doing it. Even though we are growing up, we don’t have to look like it. Truly. Thank god for good skincare, wellness products, and tools. We are blessed to have the understanding that today we can take care of our bodies and how they function to best assist ourselves in optimal well-being and ageless beauty.We have been having such a cold, wet winter here in San Francisco which has been really fertile ground to go inside (literally and figuratively) to replenish and detox. I have been in hibernation mode really milking this time…going to bed early and rising early…drinking chicken broth as tea and eating root vegetables… really taking care of myself.Speaking of taking care of myself, a couple of weeks ago, I woke up and decided to get off wine for 3 weeks. It was a sort of impulse but I knew that was the right thing to do now which made it easier. Likely it was also easier because of all the other ways, and healthy habits I have been consistent in as part of this replenish & detox way of life this season. What I didn’t realize is how dependent my body has become on sugar. I take great pride in eating well and not eating much sugar. I don’t add sugar to coffee or indulge much in sweets but I had got into the habit of having a glass (or two) of wine a night. I got to the point where it was such a habit that I wasn’t even really enjoying it but rather had just come to associate coming home and relaxation with pouring a glass of wine. This is exactly why I decided it was time for a break! Since nothing great happens by chance, I knew it was time for me to do something different.Interesting because I really pay a
attention to being mindful and creating my life and being willing to look at what is “coming up” for healing so to speak. I had been listening to a talk recently by Marianne Williamson where she said something that really spoke to me. She was speaking about the state of the world (like who isn’t these days?) and how we got where we are. and about how we are all using things to “numb out” or take off “the edge.” This is of course, the problem. Then she said, “the edge is the work”. Wow, how right on is that? This got me thinking and reflecting. I certainly don’t want to numb out life or sugar coat things, lol pun intended so I knew it was time for me to do a little detox of sorts.Although, here is what i did realize, I definitely noticed a little anger coming up as well as all of a sudden having sugar cravings. Fortunately, a client of mine who had stopped sugar, gluten, dairy etc the week before, came in a day or two after I had started the detox. I forgot she had purchased the new 
We are heading into a brand new year, and we know that so many people are creating this year’s resolutions. Most people plan to lose weight, earn more money, quit smoking/drinking/tv and exercise more. These are all important behaviors to improve our lives. But, we want to add a new and perhaps more important thing to your list. That is, having a positive mind set.It will have grand affects on your health!It’s clear that positivity has been a concept that most people say in passing. They mention it when others are feeling ‘down’. They mention it when others are having a bad day, week, month. People use the word “positive” all the time. Well, we’re going to use it, again, but this time, we are using it to encourage and inspire great health and prosperity in health so that 2017 greets you and your body with strength and an abundance of energy.To be clear, a positive mindset is not only about the things that we say out loud. Anyone can pretend, out loud, that they are completely positive. They can use positive and affirming words, but if their mindset is still negative, their health will be affected.A positive mindset is really about how you look at a situation, time or person. A positive mindset releases, very quickly, the idea that something ‘bad’ will last forever. A positive mindset, as cheesy as this sounds, reminds you that the sun rises in the morning, and your troubles won’t last, forever. For example, if your doctor says that your knee is permanently damaged, a positive mindset can move past the doctor’s words and state that your knee is on a path of recovery and is getting better and better every day.Now, of course, it is always easier to say something than it is to do something. So, we wanted to leave you with a few pointers of positive mindset action and keeping your body healthy for 2017.
Sleep is that ingredient that makes all the difference to our skin. We all know that a major component of better skin, and better health for that matter, is sleep. Current habits, such as multitasking overload, technology use and alcohol/caffeine consumption inhibit quality rest.If you are looking to freshen up, liven up and improve your skin, try to get some more shuteye in your nights. Make sure that you are able to get in some very deep sleep so that your body can do all that it wants to do to repair itself. This means getting comfortable and cozy and releasing some stress.But, why? Why do we need to sleep to keep our skin looking fresh?Well, while we sleep, our body goes into reparation mode. This means, it begins to ‘heal’ itself on a cellular level and helps to clear away things that our body doesn’t want or need. Without going into the jargon and detail. Sleeping is the one ‘thing’ that really could be the answer to all the beauty prayers. In fact, one of Audrey Hepburn’s beauty secrets was lots of sleep!Sleeping helps in the following areas of our skin…
Facials are not only fun girl time, but they are also important for women as we gain more time on this earth. After the age of 40, we become wiser, more confident, and, from my perspective, more beautiful. Yes, our skin changes, and, yes, the elasticity begins to take a new form. This is all part of the process of “growing up”.Most health and beauty blogs are intended to shame or guilt women into doing things with their faces and bodies. In this blog, however, we want to get women, over 40, excited about facials and all of the ways that we can best tend to our beautifully changing skin.So, why get facials when you’re over 40?Well, first, it’s great self care time. If the idea of ‘self-care’ is foreign to you, we want to remind you that you, your time, and your skin are all very important! Facials are great ways to remind yourself of your beauty. It is also nice to get away either by yourself or with a girlfriend. We know that most don’t usually put this part first, but we know how hard you work, so it’s only right that we tell you to take care of yourself by getting a facial every 3 to 4 weeks. This is an optimal time frame both for vanity and sanity!Alright, for those of you who are more technical, getting a facial also has many physical health benefits.The top 4 reason that women after the age of 40 need to be getting routine facials are…Reason #1. A good facial will help to clean and clear pores.It’s not the same as when we were teenagers, of course, we are less worried about pimples, but, having clear pores gives us the opportunity to flush out already used skin, dirt and debris that have been sitting on our faces for who knows how long. Facials give us that feeling of a clean face. Clean pores, somehow, just make us feel fabulous!Reason #2. A good facial for a woman over 40 will create a healthy complexion.Now, the intention here is not to indicate that your skin is unhealthy because of age, but that a facial will help to clear up days, and possibly, years of sun and air on your face. It will leave your skin feeling vibrant. Healthy, vibrant skin is a bonus in the morning. It is a nice way to wake up!Reason # 3. A good facial for those of us who are over 40, includes a massage that serves as a lymphatic drainage.WHAT? It’s ok.Quickly, our lymph nodes work as filters for substances in our bodies that mean us harm. With a good facial, you will receive a massage (or tools that do it for us) that will help to stimulate circulation which helps to move lymph which is basically moving waste, toxins and excess fluid to have you looking fresh and well, again. It also just feels really good.Reason #4. A good facial helps to alleviate stress.There is something about allowing an expert take care of you in this way! Please, go to an expert for your facials. They will often have wisdom and products to share with you to make your experience all the better. It can even be a little time out midday as a good “pick me up” before a work event, dinner or your next meeting. This timing will also help you to lower your stress levels and feel like the world is well again. It’s skin care, self care and soul care.As we “grow up”, we become more and more interesting, lovely and wise. Our skin just requires a little more love and care. Facials are the perfect way to show yourself that you are worth it! Thank god for good products and technology we know have at our fingertips.

Our skin is the biggest organ our body. Even though we all know this, the ways that we take care of it need to be gentle and thoughtful, so we can sustain its beauty and youth. But, how? How do we take care of our skin in ways that will help us to glow and feel radiant? The easiest answer: to exfoliate. You can exfoliate your way to better skin.
