The SkinCeuticals approach to skin care is to follow a three-pronged attack. This company believes that any effective skin care system will provide three basic services: prevent, correct and repair. With that in mind, SkinCeuticals has formulated several product lines, all targeted at performing one of these functions for a specific skin type. SkinCeuticals products are designed to protect as well as restore, meaning that many carry an SPF rating in addition to vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin E. The SkinCeutical system is just that-a system, so plan on walking away with several products if you’re hoping to achieve realistic results. The company’s philosophy asks you to incorporate the SkincCutical system into your daily cleansing routine and to use the 3+ products in your personalized routine consistently for best results. No mention is made of a results time frame, meaning it can be assumed you’ll be using these products indefinitely.

As a company, SkinCeuticals was started in 1997 with the goal of making a name for themselves as scientific skin care specialists. The company was one of the first to concentrate heavily on developing “cosmeceuticals;” specially formulated cosmetics with restorative or other clinical properties. This means that many of the company’s signature products come with clinical studies published in legitimate medical journals.

Product Details

The three major categories in the SkinCeutical line are Prevent, Protect and Correct. In addition to these essential steps, the company also offers a line of cleansers, moisturizers and body lotions. The official SkinCeuticals website offers a set of pre-packaged skin care systems, each consisting of several different products and each targeted at specific skin conditions. These skin systems include sets of products labeled Maintain, Defend, Clarify, Rejuvenate, Brighten and Acne Care. Since many of these products contain highly potent active ingredients, they are typically only available from licensed skin care professionals. The website also offers a finder so you can locate a specialist in your area, assuming that there is one. This also means that not all products are well suited to all skin types-for example, several contain high levels of acids and antioxidants that can irritate sensitive skin-so buying these products on-line is heavily discouraged.

A new and simple chemical-free technique utilizes silicone bead technology which allows a licensed stylist to safely apply as many or as few Featherlocks to create a subtle or dramatic effect. And because they come in an array of colors, there is no limit to the imagination or desired effect.

Featherlocks feather hair extensions are made of only the highest quality feathers. Made to last, Featherlocks will not fatigue under styling conditions, they can be washed, dried, flat-ironed or curled. While they can stay in hair for up to 8 weeks, Featherlocks last a lifetime and can be used over and over again without losing integrity or luster. Featherlocks are available in a vast array of colors and patterns and are sold in lengths of 8-16 inches and can be cut just like hair. Featherlocks are available only through licensed hair stylists and salons.

Shellac paints on like polish — base coat, color, top coat — and is cured in a UV light so there is zero dry time. The colors are hypoallergenic, and “3-Free” — no formaldehyde, toluene or DBP. Shellac will launch in a range of 12 varieties of shades, from pretty French pinks and whites, to siren red and rich darks. The formula is thin and flexible like polish, so it not only looks natural, it provides strong natural nail protection with a resilient mirror finish that resists dullness and chipping, even during the most rigorous activities.

As amazing as Shellac is on, removal is just as satisfying! No soaking, drilling or filing is necessary. Nails are wrapped in individual Shellac Remover Wraps —integrated cotton pads that limit finger and skin exposure to acetone by keeping it pinpointed on just the nail. Ten minutes of time in exchange for two weeks of perfect color is all it takes. Say good-bye to manicure frustration and hello to pure manicure satisfaction.
