Dermawand’s Thermal Approach To Skincare May Not Be All It’s Claimed To Be

DermaWand Overview

DermaWand is a device that some believe can retain the appearance of youth by using a thermal technology to stimulate the surface of the skin. You may find it surprising what the device is claimed to improves puffy bags underneath the eyes, saggy skin, and the pitted appearance of enlarged pores all said to improve with the daily use of the DermaWand.

Method at a Glance

The wand-like device, no not the fairy godmother type, the plug it in and watch it glow kind is claimed to rejuvenate, oxygenate, and stimulate the skins surface during daily treatments.

Method in Focus

Preparation of the skins surface with a thorough cleansing and a layer of a special pre-face hydrating lotion is required before you begin the daily treatments. A DVD guides the consumer through the treatment options that all depend on the goals you have for your skins surface. Depending on how you pass the wand across the targeted surface, you may be able to instantly stimulate the skin into a more lifted, toned and tightened appearance. The thermal radiation of DermaWand is claimed to recharge your complexion, which may smooth out the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The consumer is cautioned that the results are temporary and daily treatment is necessary.

Positives

-The DermaWand may give the skin a healthy glow due to the thermal properties of the device.

Negatives

-The product is not guaranteed

-The DermaWand only treats the surface of the skin

Final Thoughts

After you get over the fact that the Fountain of Youth doesn’t exist you may find the best source of youth is your mind and how you use it. A savvy consumer may recognize that the technology DermaWand uses simply targets the surface area of the skin, but for real replenishment and rejuvenation other choices must be made. Anti-aging formulas that penetrate the skin and deliver ingredients that can improve collagen and elasticity may go deeper and replenish longer because the cream can successfully soak through the surface to where the real challenges of aging are most prevalent. Often there are ingredients like Matrixyl 3000 used in formulas that not only replenish collagen but also stimulates the lower layers of the skin in regeneration. Hyaluronic acid is also used in anti-aging creams because of its properties that attract and maintain water within the microscopic space between the layers of the skin. Hyaluronic acid is also believed to assist in the transport of essential nutrients to the skin’s viable cells. Other than maintaining healthy eating and lifestyle habits, anti-aging formulas that replenish the skin are probably the most reliable choice you can make for sustaining your youthful appearance.

Yoga Magazine Honors Elite Serum In Fall Beauty Issue

It’s always nice to be honored in publications and earn awards, but when I read in the Fall Beauty section of Yoga Magazine that Elite Serum, the popular under eye serum, (one I’ve been using since last Summer) I was shocked. I mean, this company is admittedly a start-up, and they are getting awards on par with that of brands like Kinerase, Dr. Brandt, Skinceuticals, and others.

While I’ve had success with the Elite Serum, I’ve always wondered what other people thought about it. The product arrives sealed and air tight in packaging, but the company has only been around for a year and it doesn’t even send out boxes. When I inquired about this, I was told by company representative Doug Holliday that this was only an option in the few retail locations that carry the product. “It’s a mail order product at the present time, and why waste paper if it’s not going to be on display or ever used again after opening it,” was his exact reply.

I agree with saving paper, and some fussy customers have posted on forums I read that they are upset when they order a $100 product and it arrives without a box around it. While I know there is a level of expectations in receiving a product you pay a good chunk of cash for, it’s not the end of the world to have a decorated box that goes right in the garbage anyways. I posted some pretty strong opinions online about my sentiment towards people that get fussy over not receiving a box with their product, and basically ended my discussion with one frequent poster with an “agree to disagree” stance.

I was quite happy with the amount of time I was able to chat with Doug, who gave me a quick background on this South Florida company. They have grown leaps and bounds since they first launched with the Elite Serum, and now since they especially have other brands out there, they aren’t really “one product wonders” anymore. I feel special that I was among the first people to review this product, and the prestige and honors abound about Elite Serum are quite impressive to me.

Being known as pioneers for their use of resveratrol and the acai berry extract (for their antioxidant properties), EliteSkin, the name of the brand that makes the eye serum, has been well-discussed online. A strong marketing campaign that has included a good push overseas (Doug mentioned the Elite Serum is a HUGE seller in Asia) has led them to the forefront of the anti aging skin care companies out there.

Yoga Magazine points out several of the honors the serum has won, and praises it’s unique blend of cosmeceutical ingredients in the formula. For once, I feel like I was in on something early. If only the company could now go public!

Strange Japanese Beauty Products

When it comes to innovation, nothing beats the Japanese. Our Asian friends often leave no stone unturned in their quest for beauty and perfection. Thats probably the reason why theyve come up with lots of unusual and sometimes silly inventions.

To give you an idea of what I mean, heres a brief overview of bizarre beauty products from the Land of the Rising Sun courtesy of UniqueDaily.com and 3yen.com. The products featured here are not guaranteed to work but I promise theyll give you plenty of laughs.

Are you bothered by the size of your nose? Many Japanese women are and want to do something about their small, flat noses. The Hana Hana Nose Stretcher will change all that.

This beauty accessory is nothing more than an industrial-strength clothespin. Wear it for just a few minutes for a couple of days and it will supposedly make your nose bigger and longer. The manufacturer claims it stretches the nose cartilage to give the user a beautiful and balanced face – whatever the heck that means! At less than $7, this natural nose lift is a real bargain. Perfect for those who are afraid of plastic surgery!

Fans of the ax-wielding maniac Jason Vorhees in the Friday the 13th film series can now look like their favorite horror icon with the Face Slimmer. In Japan, a slim face is a mark of beauty. Put on this rubber mask and it supposedly massages and melts away fat from your face. No batteries required.

The Head Bath Cap looks like it was made especially for Marquis de Sade, the French aristocrat and writer of violent pornography. Put the cap over your head and fill it with water. The trapped water is said to be good for the scalp and will help you grow thicker and fuller hair. Since the cap covers the entire face and only has one opening on top, dont wear it tightly or you could drown in the damned thing!

Want to look taller? Then the Neck Stretcher is for you! Just place this accordion-like device around your neck and fill it with air with the included hand pump. In minutes, it will stretch your neck and hopefully increase your height. Warning: overuse of this product can make you look like a giraffe!

The Slim Mouth Piece supposedly exercises the muscles around the mouth to help you lose fat. The manufacturer said it tones your face by expanding and contracting flaccid facial muscles. Use it for only 2-3 minutes a day to “sharpen your features.

Despite its misleading name, this gadget is supposed to make your mouth bigger, not smaller. Bigger? Yes, bigger. Who on earth would want this? Well, the theory is that if you widen your mouth, you will have the appearance of a small face, so prized by the Japanese, said an unnamed English teacher in Fungus Mungus Weird Stuff in Japan.

Exercising the mouth sounds like a good idea. But if you ask me, that area gets all the exercise it needs from smiling, talking and eating. Still, the Slim Mouth Piece would make a good conversation piece. Get yours for $9.50.

If youre looking for a natural way to eliminate fine lines and wrinkles without having to go through the pains of costly plastic surgery or cosmetic injections, dont waste time going to Japan. The solution is right here with the Rejuvinol AM/PM Botox Alternative Age-Defying System. This powerful anti-aging formula consists of the Rejuvinol morning moisturizer that nourishes and strengthens the skin; and the Rejuvox night cream that relaxes tense, tired facial muscles.

Discover The Beauty Of Tuscany Italy

Every time I write about Tuscany Italy, my heart and my whole body for that matter experiences an intense feeling of calmness. I know exactly that this feeling comes from the relaxed atmosphere that this part of Italy near Florence gives off. I have found a perfect balance of enjoying the fascinating city of Florence and its cultural activities at the same time I refurbish energy by either doing a farm holiday or staying in a luxury villa in the countryside of Tuscany.

Wallow in Luxury in Tuscany Italy

The words luxury and farm might scare you away, firstly because everyone associates luxury with expensive and farm with very little comfort. Let me tell you of some fantastic places where I have been and you will see how this is much more gratifying than staying at a hotel in the city centre.

The Fattoria il Lago farmhouse is found about 40 kilometres north-east of Florence, just outside the small town of Dicomano, hidden away in the olive tree covered Tuscan hillsides. The extensive property houses three areas which are referred to as villages, each having apartment accommodations and an entirely different landscape to admire. The main lodging building is called La Villa and has a pleasurable view of the Dicomano Valley. Just a short walk away you find Lago village with its corresponding pool accompanied by a beautiful garden. The third area is the most quaint sleeping quarters called Macerato, embedded among all the hues of green possible. This kind of vacation rental is as comfortable and reposeful as the luxury villas, only that you are sharing a common ground with other tourists. When you get your Tuscany car rental, you should ask for a good map and maybe even ask them if they can give more explicit directions towards Dicomano being as the farmhouse is found off other country roads. Usually any holiday home in Tuscany offers the option of giving full directions when booking and also being picked up at nearby train or bus stations. You just have to let them know beforehand.

The 11th c. medieval monastery of San Lorenzo a Linari in Sovicille, south of Siena is one of those vacation rental places in Tuscany where you can have it all and still have your own breathing space, having your freedom from stress. This magnificent lodging is individual apartments tempting you with Tuscany tours such as viewing the hillside and mountains seated in a four-wheel drive vehicle, horse-back riding or an aerial view from a hot-air balloon. And if you do not want to miss out on the lovely beaches, there are excursions to the Mediterranean seashore, too.

Staying in Tuscany in the Chiantii area in the luxury villa estate called Villa de Dievole near the old town of Vagliali. As all villas used to belong to the Italian noble class, the exclusiveness and privacy is incomparable. The decoration in many has been respected in the restoration process, therefore you are living among many centuries of history. This 16th century villa has rooms and suites with a private guesthouse, too.

Without overtaxing ones strength, your Tuscany Italy holiday tours can be choked full of emotions and peacefulness.
