Viktoria De’ANN Peptide Cosmeceutials are proudly featured at Advanced Skincare.

 

Viktoria De’ANN is a technologically based company that synthesizes in a FDA-certified laboratory its own unique Peptide Messengers that are administered transdermally. Optimizing the cells in growth areas of the skin (dermis and epidermis) allows for an internal re-establishment of Natural Healthy Cell Cycle. As these supporting layers of the skin peak towards their natural operating function the affects can be seen in the subsequent outer layers through corrective balance exfoliation, skin health, and visible skin beauty.

 

These powerful products employ Active Natural Biological Peptide Messengers which are beneficial to the health, repair, and rejuvenation of the skin.

 

Peptides work in harmony with the body to regenerate cellular communication. This communication is proven to be a key component in healthy, ageless & beautiful skin.

 

Working as the body’s cellular messengers, peptides relay information for the initiation of processes such as repair and remodeling. This translates to collagen regeneration, healthy cellular metabolism, reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, lifted skin, improved texture, increased smoothness, and more clarified skin.

 

What are Peptides?

Peptides are natural biological messages, produced by the body, in order to communicate necessary tasks to be performed. Peptides are your body’s language and communication network. Each peptide, or message, is composed of a specific order of amino acids (the same building blocks of protein). There are many different amino acids and therefore millions of different combinations or messages that can be made out of them. It is best to think of amino acids like the English alphabet. Alone the letters (amino acids) are just letters, but once you start combining them in a specific combination, they become words, and then words become whole sentences (peptides) which can then communicate an exact message. Some of those messages can promote healthy skin through initiating collagen production or another message to relax facial muscle contracts to help soften wrinkles.

 

As skin ages it loses the message to replenish itself at the proper rate. Damage from the environment slows cell turnover rate, causing the dead cells on the surface (stratum corneum) to accumulate and become thicker reducing moisture, nourishment, and protection from within, producing rough unhealthy skin. The ultra violet (UV) rays from the sun, increase pigmentation and damage to skin cells, resulting in age spots and freckles. Collagen and elastin,which is the structure that holds the skin together, start to break down causing it to lose its firmness and resilience.

 

Peptides allow the skin’s cellular function and skin renewal cycle to become optimized and renewed, which replaces the upper thick dead skin cells. Rejuvenation of the dermis helps to renew and smooth the skin’s surface. Renewal of the stratum corneum also helps reduce the appearance of uneven pigmentation and freckles, while healthy Collagen and Elastin promote firm, youthful skin.

 

Why makes Vitoria De’Ann different?

Unlike other product lines who must buy their peptides from raw material suppliers, Viktoria De’Ann sysnthesizes its own unique messengers. This allows them the unique opportunity to formulate with a higher concetration of active and also offer a superior product treatment at unbeatable price point.

The Difference Between OTC & Cosmeceutical Grade Skincare Products?     

Posted by on in Blog, Products 0 comment

Do You Know The Difference Between Over The Counter and Cosmeceutical Grade Skin Care Products?                                                                       

Over-the-counter (OTC) is any skincare product that can be purchased at a store or online without supervision.  OTC’s products do NOT have the same amount of active ingredients that cosmeceuticals have.   They are NOT allowed to under the law.   Cosmeceuticals are pharmaceutical-grade products that are only available through licensed skin care professionals!  Cosmeceuticals contain a much higher amount of active ingredients than you could purchase OTC and they penetrate much deeper into the skin.

 

Why are active ingredients important? These are the ingredients that MAKE a change in the skin. Some of the conditions or concerns that most consumers are trying to correct: Hyperpigmentation, Melasma, Acne, Fine lines & Wrinkles, Hydration, Sun Spots ext.

 

OTC products ONLY work with the outermost layer of the skin.  By law, they cannot penetrate nor correct. So when you use OTC products you are applying the product and it just sits on the surface of the skin. It will not penetrate any deeper!   Bummer RIGHT!   I know. Think of all the money spent over the years on products that just work on the surface.  OTC products have so many fillers, parabens, dyes, fragrances ext and they are most likely watered down.

 

One the BIGGEST reasons consumers purchase OTC products is because they think they cannot afford medical-grade cosmeceuticals. This is not true. Most OTC products you get from the drug store, department stores, independent cosmetic sales consultants, or even a mall kiosk are often the same price or more expensive. You end up using more of the product and replacing it sooner which means more $$$$ all for products that regardless of what you pay do nothing except give the appearance of working.

 

Medical Grade Cosmeceuticals are actually more affordable because they have a much higher concentration of pharmaceutical ingredients, they last longer because you do not use as much, and don’t pay for  T.V. infomercials, packaging, perfume, or big advertising campaigns.

 

So does this mean OTC products do not work? If you have never used a skincare regime before… maybe but only with a minimal result as again under law OTC cannot penetrate nor correct a skin condition.   They will only work superficially. And this is where you end up with multiple skincare products that you get tired of because they do not work and you throw them in a drawer or trash can.   Again waste of $$$$.

 

Whether you want to combat the signs of aging, resolve problematic skin issues or simply maintain healthy skin, we can recommend a skincare products that will meet all of your needs.

How Often Do You REALLY Need A Facial?

Posted by on in Blog, Products 0 comment

From day one of entering the beauty profession in the mid 1980s, my schooling taught me that people should get a facial once a month. The reason for this is that it takes that amount of time for the skin cells to move through a full life cycle of cell growth and make their way from the dermis to the surface of the skin where they are naturally sloughed off. Ask most any esthetician today, and they will more than likely say the same thing, as this has always been the common thought.

 

But, is getting a facial really necessary every four weeks?  What does a facial actually do and why is one needed so often?                                     advanced skincare

 

In today’s world of high tech facial, there are a lot more modalities that can be added to a basic facial to enhance the results.

 

Micro current, photo facials, ultrasound, micro needling and radio frequency are just a few examples.

 

While it’s true that the full life cycle of cell growth is about 30 days (give or take), this thought process was established way back in the day when schools only taught the basic European Facial. Today, exfoliation products are used almost daily, facial scrubs, retinol and serums with ingredients like lactic, glycolic and salicylic acids.

 

So if the sole purpose of a facial is for catching the cells at the end of their life cycle like what has always been told, you do not have to get a once-a-month facial. With that being said anyone who is looking for skin rejuvenation and corrective treatment must receive treatments monthly to get results.

 

You really NEED a facial once a month (if not more), if your skin has…

 

  1. Little clogged bumps or whiteheads (known as closed comedones) that are under the skin, are not painful and don’t go away no matter what you do at home. (No laser or exfoliating peel can take the place of professional extractions to remove the blockage in the pores. Once the pores are cleaned out, exfoliating products with salicylic acid will help to keep them clean so eventually less extractions are needed.
  2. Acne that needs to be dried up and post-breakout marks that need to be faded.
  3. Brown spots and discoloration that you’re looking to lighten.
  4. Wrinkles and laxity that need to be minimized.
  5. Sun damage that needs to be corrected.

 

I consider facials a true necessity and often times will recommend clients to come in  bi -weekly for additional treatments above and beyond a  basic facial.

Understand What Essential Oils Are All About

Understand What Essential Oils Are All About

Essential oils have been used from time immemorial. Judeo-Christian scriptures frequently refer to incense and expensive ointments that were applied to the head or to the body. The anti-microbial properties of these oils are the reasons they have been used therapeutically throughout the ages. Mostly known for their pleasant aroma, it’s really their therapeutic properties that make them so important. Still, the natural chemistry of essential oil remains a narrow and specialized field. Just as a rose is not like every other rose, essential rose oil, for example, varies from rose to rose, depending not only on the species used but also on other factors such as origin, soil, climate and the year. Oils are like wine; Not all Bordeaux wines are equal!

The Facts on Essential Oils

Essential oils are distillations from plants, flowers, roots, seeds, shrubs or tree parts. Their quality depends not only on the raw material but also on the extraction or distillation process.

It takes a large amount of raw material to make a drop of essential oil. For example:

  • 2,500 pounds of rose petals (imagine the volume of petals that represents–about a small room full) are used to make one cup of essential oil of rose petals.
  • 1,300 pounds of cinnamon (and that’s a lot of cinnamon bags) are needed to make a little more than half a cup (about 5 oz.)

Essential oils are made from the fluid that circulates within each plant to nourish, protect and heal it. This fluid contributes to keeping insects and microorganisms away. Properties of the plant fluid can be lost in the extraction process through overheating. Integrity extraction processes are vital.

Essential oils are not oily like cooking oils and do not get rancid as easily. Neither do they contain strong antioxidants that slow down, or prevent, their own oxidation. As a result, some oils are used as anti-oxidants, a great weapon in any anti-aging program as well as preservation of skincare products.

Essential oils can play an important role in any detoxification program by stimulating blood and lymph circulation (as demonstrated by a number of medical studies). As a result, they can have these beneficial effects:

  • improving oxygenation and delivering nutrients to cells (red blood functions)
  • stimulating the elimination process within tissues (venous and lymphatic circulation functions).

All these properties are the reasons why an intelligent use of well selected, high quality, natural essential oils blended into natural skincare products makes them exceptionally useful and potent.

Having beautiful, clear and glowing skin is the dream of every woman.

If you ask most people what they would most like to improve about their skin, the answer will usually involve making the skin tone more even, clearing the complexion of flaws and imperfections.

Skin pigmentation can take the form of freckles, age spots or larger patches of discolored skin. The most common form is hyperpigmentation, which is the excess production of the skin pigment melanin, appearing as localized patches, which are darker than the surrounding skin.

Another way to gauge is if your ancestral heritage is of African, Asian, Latin, Middle Eastern or European descent or if you are a combination of any of these, you have pigmented skin.

Pigmented skin behaves differently to certain skincare ingredients and many people with pigmented skin have unique skin concerns such as hyperpigmentation (blotchy skin), ashy skin, oily or dry skin and age spots.
