Why Vitamin C topical Serum?

Why Vitamin C topical serum?

With skin cancer on the rise, you CAN'T AFFORD NOT TO USE VITAMIN C SERUM.

I personally think that everyone should use a topical Vitamin C serum, why; its a build in spf, a good L-ascorbic vitamin C serum neutrlizes the free radicals immediately, tightens skin, plumps collagen.

C Serum might be the single most important specialty product to add to your daily skincare regimen. Vitamin C serum will combat and protect you against the harmful effects of Sun as well as work to fight free radicals with its potent antioxidant. We have all realized that UV rays are often responsible for skin cancer and a good vitamin C serum will supply you with a natural option for added protection. As you can imagine one of the best features with using vitamin c serum will be reduced fine lines and wrinkles.

When looking to purchase a Vitamin C Serum it is necessary to pay close attention to the concentration of vitamin C contained in the product. Be very cautious when looking at most lotions as they have such a small amount of vitamin c so they can merely claim it is in the product that in the end will offer little to no benefit to your skin. You will be throwing your dollars down the tube as those types of lotions offer no real benefit to the skin at all except a momentary moisturized look. Many of these lotions come from well established companies that will charge exorbitant amounts for of money for their products on name alone. Serums can be very expensive due to the fact that vitamin c (ascorbic acid) is very difficult to formulate because of it instability.

A good stable vitamin c serum will give you added stimulation for collagen cell formation which will result in a more youthful appearance due to reduced fine lines and wrinkles. Additionally, it will in fact work to replenish your skin with all the neccessary ingredients that are caused by exposure to the environment, stress and poor diet. Overall Vitamin C serum packs a powerful punch for the skin.

Vitamin C serum is a very delicate product it will oxidize so easily.  Products purchased in darker bottles will ensure the product will last much longer.  However, open the bottle pour out about a quarter amount onto your hand, emulsify and spread on your face let it dry and put on your sunscreen or moisturizer.  There is nothing more powerful to prevent your skin from skin cancer than Vitamin C serum. 

Be very careful, when purchasing C serums, if its isn't L-ascorbic don't buy it, If it isn't at least 15% L-ascorbic don't buy it.  However, if you are using it for the first time start yourself out with a 10% for that first bottle and then move up to your 15% , 17% and 20%.  Anything over 20% don't use it your skin will not be able to absorb it so you will be wasting your money for anything over 20%.

L-ascorbic Vitamin C serum is the strongest antioxidant you can put on your face to prevent free radicals and facial cancers. 

In my opinion here are some of the better Vitamin C serums.cellex-c.com,www.consumerwrinklereviews.com/glo-​therapeutics-ultra-15 and http://www.obagi.com/patients/product-line/​professional-c-serumin my opinion these are the best and the only serums I sale.

If Vitamin C is one of the last ingredients don't waste you rmoney.

Botox Party

Hey Ladies

Sp-aaah Services is having their first Botox party and I am so excitied! Dr. Jacqueline Demko, Facegirl, will be preforming all injectable procedures. 

Injectables we will be offering are: 

Radiesse $375/per syringe - Buy two syringes and get the third free.
Juvederm $375/per syringe
Botox $9.25 unit
Dysport $4.00 unit

Ok so what do these things do?

Botox vs. Dysport

 Both are the same product botulinum toxin A, a derived protein that works by relaxing targeted muscles. The Dysport protein is slighlty smaller so it works quicker. The differences I have seen and that are reported in the literatue include a faster onset.  Don't be fooled by pricing because it takes 2 1/2 times  the amount of dysport per unit to equal one unit of Botox.  However the results are basically the same with faster and longer results. 

Radiesse Vs. Juvederm

These fillers are used to temporarily reverse the aging process. They can be used to plump up a puny lip line or fine lines around the lips and they can also be used to fill in deep, furrowing lines around the forehead, eyes and around the nose and mouth. Unlike plastic surgery, cosmetic procedures like injectable fillers are quick, easy and relatively painless. Injectable fillers also have lower risk of complications which are minimal and can include temporary paralysis, bruising at the injection site, over correction of the wrinkles, swelling, redness and rash.

Radiesse, the brand name for Calcium Hydroxylapatite, reduces the appearance of wrinkles and skin folds around the mouth and nose and can even fill in certain scars. This is great news for men and women that are seeing the first signs of age or would like to conceal bothersome facial scars. However, Radiesse is not recommended for use around the lips because of its large particle size. So if you are only looking to fill your forehead wrinkles as well as plump your lips, Radiesse may not be your best choice.
Juvederm is an injectable filler that contains Hyaluronic Acid, a naturally occurring substance in human tissue. The great thing about that is you are not introducing a foreign substance/chemical to your body. Juvederm can treat folds around the nose and mouth area, frown lines, crow's feet, and lips which makes it a versatile product to use. This also makes Juvederm a great choice for someone who is treating more than one area.
Both Radiesse and Juvederm are FDA approved for most cosmetic procedures so they are easily available at your doctor's office. They also both work to add volume and plump fine lines or indents in the face such as crow's feet and frown lines. Radiesse and Juvederm are convenient injectable fillers because there is hardly any downtime. They are often considered a 'lunch-time' procedure which means that you can be in and out of your doctor's office in very little time.

While Juvederm and Radiesse have similar applications, they are different in many ways. These fillers give a similar effect but are made up of two completely different substances. Radiesse consists of "microspheres that are calcium based in a water-based gel," while Juvederm is made of Hyaluronic Acid, a naturally occurring hydrator. And although they both add volume and plump problem areas, Radiesse is not suggested for use around the lips, whereas Juvederm can be used on virtually any area.

The Event will be held Wednesday, October 19, 2011 at 14377 Woodlake Drive Ste 104, Chesterfield, MO 63043. From 7pm - 10pm.  Food and drinks will be served.

If you would like to attend or have any questions or conerns please contact me at Sp-aaah Services or call 636-236-1092.

Look forward to seeing you there.
