Cutting Edge Products

Have you ever wondered if your skin care products are cutting edge? Of course this could lead to many different interpretations. For example, how could Vitamin C be cutting edge? This ingredient has been around for ages. I can tell you 1 way to make sure you have cutting edge ingredients even on ingredients such as Vitamin C. If you look at your ingredient listing and you see the letter "L" before an ingredient then you are using one of the most cutting edge forms of this ingredient. Ingredients that show "L" mean that they are in a more pure state than ingredients without the "L".

Also, it is good to take note of ingredient percentages. Many companies will not disclose percentage levels, but here at Paradise Skin Products we are not ashamed of our ingredient levels. For example, our Intense Wrinkle Serum has a 20% polypeptide. You will have a hard time finding polypeptides at such a high level. Your main stream brands usually only have around an 8%. Those very few that actually have a 20% are not even chiral correct. That means you will not be getting as pure of an absorption (product will not penetrate the skin as effectively as it should).

Keep these tips in mind when weighing out your skin care products.

Health For Beauty ... Beauty For Health

Our health has a direct relationship with our outward appearance. For instance, poor health may lead to decreased circulation, which in turn leads to decreased oxygenation and slows the natural turnover of our cells. The visible results range from discoloration to thick skin and premature aging.

Caring for your body through good eating and exercise habits helps your body maintain itself. Your skin is a system just like any system in your body, and as such it deserves the same care and respect. And, just as your diet and exercise routine are designed specifically for your metabolism and body type, your skin care routine should be personalized for you.

The next time you hear someone say that beauty is only skin deep, smile to yourself because you know better. Contact Paradise Skin Products to help you build the perfect skin care routine and begin caring for your skin the way it deserves to be treated. Care for all of your systems correctly, and you will always find beauty in health!

The Truth About Maturing Skin

The effects of aging on the skin range from hardly noticeable to severe; from slight problems that slowly worsen to terrible problems that seem to crop up over night. For women, the aging of the skin can be seriously complicated by menopause.

Symptoms of aging include:

• Dryness or thinning of the skin


• Easy bruising


• Hyperpigmentation (age spots)


• Skin sensitivity


• Thinning hair on head


• Excess body hair

Treatments to prevent extreme problems:

• Regular exercise


• Proper Dietary Habits


• Change in skin care


• Recommended anti-aging treatments

Understanding the changes your body goes through, and making the appropriate changes to your routine in response, will help avoid many of the severe symptoms of the aging process. With anti-aging treatments and products, we cannot stop the clock from ticking, but we can slow down the hands of time.

Stubborn Acne: The Cause, The Cure

Acne Vulgaris (the medical term for the frequent or occasional eruption of one or more whiteheads, blackheads and/or pimples) is not only striking more women in their twenties, thirties, and forties, it is becoming more tenacious.

Most people who have stubborn acne have a parent who suffered from the same problem. It also strikes those with hormonal conditions, like cystic ovaries and excessive hair growth. Blemishes that spring up and disappear only to emerge again weeks later may be linked to stress and hormones. Hormonal fluctuations caused by menstruation, pregnancy, the Pill and menopause exacerbate these breakouts (that may be why adult men have not experienced this surge in acne).

A significant improvement to your skin can be achieved through a regular schedule of facial treatments and the application of professional skin care products. Start to improve your skin today with our all-natural and professional skin care products.

The Aging Factor

As the skin ages, it characteristically becomes drier and loses its elasticity. Equally, the rejuvenating capabilities slow down and the oxygen and nutrient supply decreases along with blood circulation causing cell renewal capabilities to slow down. These changes take place in the dermal layer of the skin. Dermal layer changes depend on three things: Your Age, Heredity and Your Skin Care Habits. The following chart gives us an idea of our cell renewal time:

• Under 35 Years of Age - Every 28 Days


• 35 Years of Age - Every 5 Weeks


• 45 Years of Age - Every 6 Weeks


• 55 Years of Age - Every 8 Weeks


• 65 Years of Age - Every 9 Weeks

The only area in which we have any control is to establish healthy skin care habits. Bombarded as we are by media messages of perfect skin, figures and lives, it is often difficult to make the best purchasing decisions. Television products and Over-the-Counter products may offer low prices, but they are not always bargains. Formulations can be general, not skin-type specific, and the concentration of active ingredients is extremely low plus one set of products cannot work for everyone. Skin care products purchased from a professional offer several advantages, including programs designed specifically for your skin's age, condition, and general needs.

4 Steps for Bacteria Protection

Always wash your face with tepid water and your recommended Paradise Skin Products' cleanser before taking a hot bath. Hot baths can open up the pores so that makeup can flow right on in, clogging them. And sharp changes from hot to cold, or vice versa, cause spider veins, those tiny broken capillaries that can roadmap a face. Never use ice on your face - it's too extreme.

Try not to touch your face since hands carry bacteria to the face. If you have to touch your face, use the back of your hand.

Drink lots of water. Apart from drinking at least eight glasses of water a day, always rinse your face with your recommended Paradise Skin Product Cleanser, followed up with your Toner, before putting on a Hydrator.

Change your pillowcase every night and never reuse a sweatband or towel for exercising. Don't let hair sprays or mousses get on the face.

What Are Free Radicals?

Free radicals are highly reactive molecules that carry one unpaired electron. Free radicals from the sun, smoke, and pollution attack the body daily and are responsible for 80% of the signs of premature aging, including lines and wrinkles. Have you ever cut open an apple and left it in the air? It doesn't take long before the fruit starts to turn brown and dry from oxidation. This is an example of free radical damage. What did your mother teach you to put on it to keep it from browning? Vitamin C (lemon juice), of course! Be sure to ask us about our Vitamin C&E and Intense Wrinkle Serum. These products support the body's ability to fight off these free radicals. It's proven that using products topically containing certain vitamins protect you on the outside from harmful free radicals.
