Jan Marini Tapped Into the Fountain of Youth with Regeneration Booster – Anti-Aging Powerhouse!

March 2, 2023 By patkaspian Leave a Comment

Most people don’t speak skincare.  When researching options, ingredients become a blur of words we can’t pronounce and percentages that never seem to break .1%.  However, it is absolutely essential that we do understand what we are putting on our skin and why.

Jan Marini Skin Research combines the latest and greatest technology with tried and true methods to create products that actually work.  One of their most notable forays into cellular technology led to the creation of a cutting-edge new product: Age Intervention Regeneration Booster. For those too sensitive to retinol, this serum offers the ideal solution for skin regeneration and rejuvenation.

An incredible innovation by Jan Marini Skin Research was the incorporation into her products of TGF Beta 1, one of many growth factors, collectively referred to as cytokines, which help maintain skin’s youthful appearance. The Transformation line of products incorporate this growth factor for maximum transformative power. Additionally, our favorite Regeneration Booster incorporates this growth factor along with keratinocyte growth factor, epidermal growth factor and Cycloastrogenol.

This patented formulation combines advanced growth factors, peptides and antioxidants to hydrate skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines and improve the appearance of texture and overall skin tone.

Age Intervention Regeneration Booster is innovative in its use of advanced telomerase enzyme technology, a discovery which earned three women scientists the 2009 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine.  This technology is meant to protect chromosomes from degradation, allowing for longer-lasting DNA cells. The Nobel Laureates showed that this solution can be found at the ends of chromosomes in their telomeres – long, thread-like DNA molecules that carry our genes – and in telomerase, an enzyme that forms these molecules.  If the telomeres are shortened, cells age. Conversely, if telomere activity is high, telomere length is maintained and premature cellular aging is delayed. By helping to stabilize the telomere, the technology present in this product slows down the process of skin aging.

Age Intervention Regeneration Booster combines telomerase enzyme with anti-inflammatory agents, peptides, and other skin-enhancing ingredients, enabling the skin to appear dramatically younger and aiding in the improvement of fine lines and wrinkles, firmness, discoloration, elasticity, texture, and overall skin health.

Home care after your peels in the form of Retinol and Regeneration Booster work synergistically with the peel’s activity to significantly improve the appearance of the skin. You’ll never forget it’s “Peel Season”, with BOOSTER your new partner in keeping those telomeres youthful!

Rejuvenate and Protect

March 2, 2023 By patkaspian Leave a Comment

Spring brings feelings of renewal and rejuvenation, and what better time than now to add a little spring in your step with glowing skin!  The powerful combination of vitamin c and sunscreen for the ultimate in antioxidant protection, will have you looking refreshed, even after the clocks spring forward! Jan Marini’s Rejuvenate and Protect will protect your skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with our ultra-wearable SPF and antioxidant rich vitamin C. Includes C-ESTA Serum and a choice of Antioxidant Daily Face Protectant SPF33 or Marini Physical Protectant Tinted SPF 45.

The antioxidant properties of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and its role in collagen synthesis make vitamin C a vital molecule for skin health. Dietary and topicalascorbic acid have beneficial effects on skin cells, and some studies have shown that vitamin C may help prevent and treat ultraviolet (UV)-induced damage.

This is not the only innovation by Jan–you’ve heard us brag about the C-Esta line enough to know that. C-Esta products utilize the power of Vitamin C and Jan Marini Skin Research was the first to introduce Vitamin C with a neurotransmitter factor into the skin care market.

“Liquid gold”- how many of my clients refer to Jan Marini’s amazing C-Esta Serum as it fights free radical damage and adds brilliance to the skin while firming slackening tissue.

C-ESTA products are  non-comedogenic, powerful antioxidant formulas that will show quick improvements in the skin’s surface by appearing smoother, firmer and tighter.  Your skin will look more even-toned and younger while protected by the sun’s harsh rays when using these products

 

 

C-Esta Face Serum:

Great for all skin types, C-ESTA Serum is a powerful antioxidant cocktail, featuring Vitamin C and DMAE, shown to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and uneven skin texture. Preferred by subjects in a blinded split-face study vs. a leading Vitamin C solution, C-ESTA Serum is the preferred Vitamin C and antioxidant solution for younger, healthier looking skin.

Do you know what hyaluronic acid can do for you?

October 27, 2022 By patkaspian

WHAT IS HYALURONIC ACID?

 

Hyaluronic acid comes naturally

We love talking about Hyaluronic acid (HA)! It’s a substance that is naturally present in the human body. I’ll spare you all the scientific dialogue and give you the good stuff so, you can see why we love this ingredient so much. First off, know what skin type you have so you know what skin care product will work best for you.

Hyaluronic acid supports many important areas of the body: hair, nerves, skin, eyes and most notably lubrication of joints . Youthful skin abounds with hyaluronic acid so, it makes sense that this wonder ingredient is used in products to promote moisture and create fullness. Hyaluronic acid is also a “smart nutrient” as it can adjust its moisture absorption rate based on the humidity—relative to the season and the climate. In skin care, you can find hyaluronic acid creams, serums, injectables, and hyaluronic acid supplements.

skin tissue layers

Hyaluronic acid benefits

Hyaluronic acid plays a critical role in skin health with its unique ability to hold in moisture (1000 ml of water per gram of hyaluronic acid) and 50% of it is found in our skin tissue. The bad news…is there any good news in aging? … As we age our production of HA lessens, skin moisture can drop significantly, which makes the skin lose elasticity, sag, wrinkle, and increase dryness.

So, it makes complete sense why it is used as a dermal filler, as in Restylane and Juvederm but, there are quality products with hyaluronic acid that give an extra boost of hydration, moisture and restore the skins elasticity with each application, preserving the skins youthfulness, making lines less noticeable and giving skin a rejuvenated feeling.

We carry some of the best hyaluronic acid products on the market and we can’t wait to share them with you.

  • 1) Multiple forms of HA apply deep, long-lasting hydration.
  • 2) Advanced technologies enhance HA within the skin.

Hyperpigmentation: How to Diminish Dark Spots

April 1, 2021 By patkaspian

So your understanding of why dark pigment areas appear after years of clear skin is- shall we say- spotty? Read about what causes them, what active ingredients actually diminish them, and what products contain them, below. OR- consult with your esthetician to determine the best plan of attack without heading for laser or other invasive, expensive, and temporary medical options.

The term “dark spots” is a generic description for multiple forms of hyperpigmentation including sun damage, age spots, melasma, discoloration, uneven tone and more. Hyperpigmentation is caused by a variety of factors, but is typically a result of cumulative sun exposure, environmental stressors and hormones –making it a challenge that nearly everyone faces as they age. The appearance of dark spots is also associated with aging, in fact,studies have shown that the degree of hyperpigmentation is directly linked to a person’s perceived age, even in the absence of wrinkles.

Despite being one of, if not the most common signs of aging, hyperpigmentation is one of the most difficult conditions to address and can take months to show improvement. Improvement requires addressing current concerns with proper home care and  may also require treatments including peels . Preventing future dark spots into the future requires a combination of sun protection and use of a proper home care regimen with proven topical products.

Hyperpigmentation is defined as any abnormal increase in genetically programmed skin pigmentation. Many factors can contribute to changes in skin color or uneven pigmented patches. These include: UV light (did you know that even fluorescent office lights can be a source of UV exposure?), chemicals, genetics, age, local infection, hormones, drugs, and acne. We can now add to the list the harmful effects of Blue Light (watch that screen time!)

Common hyperpigmentation concerns are usually focused on solar lentigo (areas of discoloration from sun exposure).  Areas most affected are the face, the decolleté ( literally translated as the “uncollared area”) and the back of the hands. How many of us remember to reapply sunscreen every 80 minutes? Do you apply it daily to the back of your hands which receive constant exposure while you drive?

Melasma, another form of abnormal coloration, is characterized by blotchy brown hyperpigmented patches that have an irregular shape and may be distributed over the cheeks, forehead, upper lip and neck. Frequently, this condition occurs during pregnancy, at menopause,  and in those taking hormones or oral contraceptives. It can also rarely occur in men. Sun exposure and certain topical or oral medications can worsen the appearance of the discolored areas dramatically. Melasma can affect either the epidermal (superficial) layers of the skin, the dermal (deep) layers of the skin, or both. The distinction, visible through a Woods Lamp, is important because epidermal pigmentation may respond well to being lessened or resolved with topical agents while dermal pigmentation may need to be addressed more aggressively.

It is a fact that pigment plays a role in protecting the skin from damage caused by ultra-violet light (sun exposure). Recent studies indicate that this protective action is due to melanin’s ability to act as a potent free radical scavenger. Apparently, free radicals that are triggered through sun exposure are neutralized by melanin which in turn aids in preventing cellular DNA damage. However, continuous UV exposure (without protection) creates a cycle of pigment production at the dermal (deeper skin) level, causing inflammation, melanocyte activation, melanin synthesis, and melanin transfer.  The result, in plain terms, is uneven, blotchy skin tone, detracting from the overall clarity and youthful even tone of your skin.

Non-Prescription (non-Hydroquinine) Product Solutions

Glycolic Acid : SOTHYS GLYSALAC Dermobooster and JAN MARINI BIOCLEAR LOTION OR CREAM

Starting at the most basic level, medical studies indicate that glycolic acid assists in resolving hyperpigmentation by breaking down the cellular bonds of the dead layers (stratum corneum), causing a lifting of over-pigmented areas.It is also proven to act as a delivery “carrier” for other topical products and medications, thus enhancing the effects of lightening agents. It can be found in Jan Marini’s Bioclear Lotion and Cream (which are both comprised of 12% glycolic, 2% salicylic and 2% azeleic acids) applied as Step 3 of the Skin Care Management System. I recommend SOTHYS’ Glysalac Acid Dermobooster as a gentler, but still very effective option for epidermal exfoliation.

Alpha Arbutin, Hexylresorcinol and Glycyrrhiza Glabra Extract (Licorice Root)  JAN MARINI LUMINATE FACE LOTION

LUMINATE FACE LOTION i- this dynamic alpha-arbutin face cream combines concentrated all-trans-retinol with advanced NON-hydroquinone technologies to lighten the appearance of discoloration and reduce the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles – helping to restore your skin’s youthful complexion. It is a powerful cocktail of the following safe ingrediients for skin lightening: 

Extracted from plants such as bearberries, blueberries, and cranberries, alpha arbutin is a safe skin brightening ingredient which helps to fade scars and pigmentation left behind by breakouts and sun damage. According to LA Dermatologist Michael LIN: “Arbutin is a molecule extracted from the bearberry plant that prevents the formation of melanin,” Lin explains. He compares arbutin to two other gentle brighteners: kojic acid (derived from mushrooms) and licorice root (derived from the licorice plant). “[They] are derived from different natural ingredients, but they all function as tyrosinase inhibitors to provide skin lightening and brightening effects,” he says. Basically, brown spots come from pigments that are produced in cells called melanocytes, which contain enzymes called tyrosinase. They can activate anytime they come in contact with UV light, which is why you’ll notice freckles and sun spots starting to develop if you spend too much time in the sun.3 That’s when arbutin comes in—it blocks tyrosinase and keeps dark spots at bay.”

Hexylresorcinol has long been recognized as a highly effective, non-toxic lightening agent has been shown to have efficacy comparable to or greater than 4% hydroquinone. It is a powerful tyrosinase inhibitor, exceptional at addressing overly pigmented areas and brightening overall skin tone. So safe, this ingredient has been used in cough drops!

Licorice Root (Glycyrrhiza Glabra) has been used  for medicinal purposes for centuries, and is the source of licorice extract used topically for skin. It’s antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects have been proven to help fade dark spots.  It is most importantly a much safer alternative to hydroquinone, previously thought  to be the gold-standard brightening ingredient, though banned in many countries for its unwanted side effects and even potential safety concerns.

LUMIRA™ by COLORESCIENCE

A few years back COLORESCIENCE developed a patented active ingredient  UV Complex known as LUMIRA™ which brightens by addressing underlying causes of skin pigmentation, and preventing future pigmentation. LUMIRA™ counteracts the cycle of pigment production at every level, addressing inflammation, melanocyte activation, melanin synthesis, and melanin transfer. What does this mean for those of us who aren’t chemists? LUMIRA™ addresses current pigmentation, as well as pigmentation in progress. 

Getting at the root cause of pigmentation with the newest addition to the Colorescience treatment line-up is EVEN UP MULTI-CORRECTION SERUM, just launched in March 2021 to diminish the appearance of dark spots, age spots and other discoloration.

A New Look At Youthful Eyes

March 4, 2021 By patkaspian

Skincare is what I have dedicated my life to. Addressing skin concerns, helping you maintain your loveliest skin for the longest time without resorting to surgery or invasive procedures. It’s the French way.  But this past year has required a more targeted focus, in addition to skin. The windows of the soul- the eyes  and  the eye contour have taken center-stage.

Granted, I have always recommended eye serums and treatments as part of the total regimen to keep us looking youthful. But the new emphasis on screen time damage from blue light (Netflix binging qualifies..), mask-wearing  and the  general effect most of us have felt from the upheaval  in our daily routines (poor sleep patterns, pollution, lack of exercise, dietary missteps) has impacted the eye contour even more. 

Thankfully, SOTHYS Paris has developed  PRESCRIPTION JEUNESSE – a salon treatment paired with 2 simple homecare products to REPAIR the signs of aging (wrinkles, dark circles and puffiness) as well as PREVENT future damage.  Active ingredients developed from natural origins. French digi-esthetique movements .  A synthesis of the best from science and nature to protect the eyes against external aggression to leave them visibly younger, brighter, more radiant and relaxed.

Some facts I’d like to share with you:

The eye area is fragile and five times thinner than the rest of the face, and less resilient to aging because of its constant use. Blinking happens more than 10,000 times every day!

Blue Light

It’s a wavelength also known as HEV (High Visible Energy), longer than UV rays and can therefore alter the structure of skin cells whose collagen and elastin production DECREASES (ouch), therefore triggering premature skin aging.

What Causes Aging Around The Eyes?

  • DEHYDRATION, DRYNESS, FINE LINES AND WRINKLES-In thin skin it is easier for water to evaporate and there are a great many frequent muscle movements
  • PUFFINESS – This is caused mostly by poor lymph circulation
  • DARK CIRCLES (blue, brown, red, purple)-Poor blood circulation
  • LACK OF RADIANCE- Structure and  organization of skin interfaces

With these facts in mind (help Mr. Wizard!), Sothys has blended the best of nature with scientific advanced research to develop two go-to products for immediate results.

Radiance Cream for Wrinkles/Dark Circles and Puffiness

Recommended morning and night around the entire eye contour

FLAX SEED EXTRACT to protect the skin barrier against external aggressions and to protect the dermal structures (loss of structure= saggy, baggy skin!) Did you know that Sothys employs a green chemistry process that eliminates the need to introduce chemicals?

ULTRA-REGENERATING COMPLEX composed of  TRI-PEPTIDES to stimulate collagen, VITAMIN B5 to soothe and HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT HYALURONIC ACID  for immediate plumping and hydration.This is the magic bullet that attacks the wrinkles.

MEADOW PLANT to enhance radiance around the eyes with light-diffusing action.

TARA-SUNFLOWER for anti-blue light protective action

VITAMIN PP/HORSE CHESTNUT EXTRACT/RED ALGAE & BIGARADE to reduce dark circles and puffiness.

Anti-Puffiness Cryo Roll-on

Recommended morning and night applied to the lower lid using the three balls and pressing down lightly on the tube. Smooth the gel into the skin from the inner corner of the eye working towards the temple. Store the tube in the fridge for a few hours for an even more refreshing, and relaxing feel.

FLAX SEED EXTRACT and ULTRA-REGENERATING PEPTIDE COMPLEX (above)

CAFFEINE & oligosaccharides from marine plants provide anti-puffiness activity

RED ALGAE EXTRACT decongests to further reduce puffiness.

Seeing is believing, and what better way to boost your new homecare than with a CRYO EYE PROFESSIONAL TREATMENT in the salon. Let me take you to la-la land with this 30-minute treatment  specifically designed for the delicate eye contour, immediately erasing signs of fatigue and aging, with the refreshing and decongesting effect of Sothys’ exclusive modeling porcelain spoons.

I hope to “see” you soon- wink wink!

Add To Your Skin Care Management System

February 1, 2021 By patkaspian

Experience dramatic transformation with The Skin Care Management System™ and see firsthand why it has been voted “The Best Skin Care System” for its 10th consecutive year as part of NewBeauty Magazine’s Annual Beauty Choice Awards. Clients are surprised to note immediate improvement in their skin after just a few weeks using the System. And to “accelerate” the concern you are specifically trying to address, let me recommend the following accelerators that fit into the regimen immediately after Step 3  (Bioclear):   Concern: DARK SPOTS         Solution: LUMINATE LOTION and MASK The term “dark spots” is a generic description for multiple forms of hyperpigmentation including sun damage, age spots, melasma, discoloration, uneven tone and more. Hyperpigmentation is a caused by a variety of factors, but is typically a result of cumulative sun exposure, environmental stressors and hormones –making it a challenge that nearly everyone faces as they age. The appearance of dark spots is also associated with aging, in fact,studies have shown that the degree of hyperpigmentation is directly linked to a person’s perceived age, even in the absence of wrinkles. Despite being one of, if not the most common signs of aging, hyperpigmentation is one of the most difficult conditions to address and can take months to show improvement. Improvement requires addressing current concerns with proper home care and may also require treatments including peels and laser procedures. Preventing future dark spots into the future requires a combination of sun protection and use of a proper homecare regimen with products for dark spots. Jan Marini Skin Research’s award-winning, rejuvenating skin care products and professional as well as at-home peels offer a multi-faceted approach to reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation, resulting in a lighter, brighter, more youthful looking complexion with improvement visible in as little as a month! Reveal brighter skin with MARINI LUMINATE FACE LOTION. This dynamic alpha-arbutin face cream combines concentrated all-trans-retinol with advanced non-hydroquinone technologies to lighten the appearance of discoloration and reduce the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles – helping to restore your skin’s youthful complexion.   Concern: WRINKLES   Solution: AGE INTERVENTION RETINOL PLUS/ REGENERATION BOOSTER  Fine lines, wrinkles and uneven skin texture are commonly assumed to be an inevitable result of aging. This belief however, is not accurate. The majority of these changes are caused by a loss of collagen and elastin in the skin due to cumulative sun exposure and environmental damage. Coupled with a decrease in cellular turnover with age, the result is lax, wrinkled skin with rough, uneven texture and a loss of vibrancy and glow. The good news is that proper skin care and treatments can dramatically reverse these changes and minimize or prevent additional future damage. Jan Marini Skin Research’s award-winning skin texture products and professional services utilize advanced technologies including peptides, growth factors, antioxidants, cycloastragenol, multiple targeted acids and all-trans-retinol (the most bioavailable form of retinol) for dramatic improvement in the appearance of texture, fine lines and wrinkles. Two-time NewBeauty Award Winning Best Retinol Cream: AGE INTERVENTION RETINOL PLUS redefines expectations for retinoids. Highly concentrated all-trans-retinol is combined with advanced peptides and antioxidants for maximum results and satisfaction while integrated soothing and hydrating ingredients offer superior experience with minimal acclimation. This retinol night cream is suitable for all skin types. Pair this retinol and peptides cream with Marini Juveneck to help reduce the appearance of creases and deep wrinkles along the neck area. REGENERATION BOOSTER is a patented peptide face lotion shown to significantly improve the appearance of aging skin. Maximum results are delivered through a combination of advanced ingredients including cycloastragenol, multiple beneficial growth factors and peptides, coenzyme Q10, antioxidants and advanced hydrators. This peptide face lotion is suitable for all skin types. (Applied on clean skin, prior ro C-Esta Serum).   Concern: VOLUME AND LAXITY   Solution: HYLA 3D Loss of volume and sagging skin is a direct result of sun damage and declining levels of Hyaluronic Acid (HA) production in your skin. Hyaluronic Acid functions is a major contributor to the extracellular matrix (essentially the framework to our cell structure) which is the foundation for creation of collagen and elastin. Age and sun damage reduce the skin’s ability to retain and produce this much needed resource,leading to loss of volume, sagging and loss of contour in the skin. Hyaluronic Acid provides long-lasting hydration along with advanced technologies to enhance HA within the skin. Paired with peptides and antioxidants to boost collagen and elastin Jan Marini Skin Research HA serum products can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for a more youthful, contoured look. Age and sun damage diminish the body’s ability to produce and maintain youthful levels of Hyaluronic Acid (HA) in the skin; leading to loss of volume and visible signs of aging. HYLA 3D HYALURONIC ACID LOTION takes a 3-dimensional approach to restoring hydration while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for a more youthful, contoured look. Give your skin regimen an extra boost with our Hyla3D Face & Lip set!   Concern: ACNE and ADULT ACNE Solution: BENZOYL PEROXIDE 5% or 10% (teens) and DUALITY (Adult Acne) Acne is a significant and growing skin concern that can persist well beyond the teen years, especially for females. In fact, acne currently affects approximately 50% of all women between 20-29 years of age and 25% of all women between 40-49 years of age. There is no single cause for acne, however, a number of factors may be present during the course of the disease such as heredity, hormones, increased oil production and bacteria. Not only can acne cause physical discomfort, the emotional and social stress of this condition can significantly impact quality of life. Jan Marini Skin Research’s award-winning acne-prone skin care products and professional peel treatments utilize multiple proven acne-fighting technologies to address the various factors that contribute to acne in both teens and adults without the dryness and irritation commonly associated with many acne treatments, for clearer skin. DUALITY, a benzoyl peroxide and retinol cream addresses even the most stubborn adult acne while simultaneously minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Its unique dual chamber dispensing solution combines some of the most proven, yet previously incompatible, technologies in one product. The maximum allowed percentage of ultra-micronized benzoyl peroxide, highly concentrated all-trans-retinol, green tea extract, anti-aging peptides, advanced hydrators and antioxidants deliver unparalleled results in an easy to use solution. Be sure to also check out our Age Intervention® Gentle Cleanser, a mild formula designed for sensitive skin.   Concern: REDNESS Solution: ROSALIEVE Facial flushing, blushing and diffuse redness is one of the primary skin concerns of nearly 10% of the adult US population. While it is estimated that over 16 million Americans suffer from Rosacea, the number of people who suffer from some form of facial flushing or redness not classified or diagnosed as Rosacea is likely much higher. Redness can have many forms and is influenced by multiple factors including exposure to sunlight, heat, stress, exercise, hormonal fluctuations and eating certain foods or drinks. Controlling redness and rosacea requires proper home care, attention to diet and stressors as well as series of laser treatments for more severe concerns. Jan Marini Skin Research’s award-winning anti-redness skin care products and services utilize advanced technologies like azelaic acid, peptides concentrated green tea extract, oat extract and red and white tea extracts to soothe the skin, minimize redness and reduce the severity and frequency of flushing. When used with lasers, our anti-redness skin care solutions have been shown to reduce redness by more than the amount of an additional laser treatment! People with diffuse redness and flushing have good and bad days. With Jan Marini’s skin redness products, you’ll have better, less red, average days and more of your best days. ROSALIEVE is an innovative formula with azelaic acid, an anti-redness peptide and multiple antioxidants and extracts shown to reduce the appearance of redness and visible flushing. This azelaic acid lotion also includes white tea and red tea extracts.
