The Power of Stem Cell Science
The entire Stemulation Skin Care product line is based on the science of stem cells.
What are stem cells?
Stem cells are cells with the potential to develop into many different types of cells in the body. They serve as a repair system for the body and in our case, for the body's largest organ - your skin.
We are born with an abundance of stem cells that support our growth to maturity. As we mature to adulthood, we have fewer and fewer stem cells to restore and repair traumas of the body.
Stemulation solves this issue by introducing topical, bio-identical growth factors that support new skin cell development. Stemulation replenishes the growth factors lost in the same way we take vitamins and supplements to replenish missing nutrients in our bodies.
CLEANSE . TONE . TREAT . HYDRATE . PROTECT
After cleansing and toning, you apply your treatment serums, hydrating moisturizers and your UV protection from the thinnest products to the thickest.
So what products in the Stemulation line are important to your skin conditions?CLEANSE
Our Gentle Gel Cleanser is a refreshing foaming cleanser featuring healing aloe and calming chamomile extract to soothe and refresh the skin.
It can be whipped into a foam and used a gentle shaving cream. This cleanser is recommended for normal to oily skin. It removes impurities without striping the skin of natural oils.
Definitely one of our most popular products, the Daily Micro Derm Scrub is a lightly exfoliating foaming cleanser. Recommended for daily use in the shower, the scrub removes dry skin and promotes new cell production.
It is our gentlest scrub and appropriate for all skin types. If you suffer from severe acne or breakouts, be careful not to over stimulate with excessive scrubbing. Using a scrub in your cleansing routine will help reduce the build up of trapped bacteria aggravating this condition.
Nitty Gritty Face and Body Polish
Nitty Gritty is formulated with the same refreshing ingredients as the Daily Micro Derm Scrub but with a higher concentration of exfoliant.
Depending on your skin type Nitty Gritty can be used daily for dryer skin types and alternated throughout the week for oilier skin.
If you suffer from rough dry skin or the little bumps on the back of your arms, thighs, buttocks or sometimes face known as keratosis pilaris, Nitty Gritty can be a very effective treatment.
The best application for this (except for the face) is to start with a good dry brush. Vigorously brush the dry skin to stimulate the blood circulation ( this is also helpful with cellulite) then rub an ample amount of Nitty Gritty on the brushed area until it is mostly dry and pasty. Immediately rinse in the shower.
The results are a refreshed smooth skin. Finish with either Rescue Repair or Relance Body Lotion for silky smooth renewed skin.
TONE
AHA Balancing Toner is a critical step for maximum results. Why is toner critical you ask? Well our AHA Toner is formulated differently with a different objective. Our toner is specifically formulated to bring the pH of the skin back to neutral. The reason this is a critical step is that when we change the pH of the skin by we increase the skin barrier making it more difficult for the treatment serums to penetrate the skin. By balancing the pH, the products applied next are easily absorbed. The Alpha Hydroxy Acid is also very effective at killing surface bacteria, so it is beneficial in fighting acne and breakouts related the surface bacterias from excessive oils produced by sebaceous glands.
AHA, is also a proven brightener fighting discolorations and dark spots.
TREAT
"Liquid Gold" is the foundation of the line and is the broad spectrum serum that acts as the multivitamin for the skin. With the highest concentration of growth factors and botanical antioxidants, "Liquid Gold" is affective in addressing most common skin concerns. The growth factors help to stabilize the production of the sebaceous gland production which can reduce break outs and acne. Additionally, growth factors "stemulate" the production of collagen and elastin which keeps the skin plump and supple, thus has a very valuable effect in reducing the signs of advanced aging.
Bottomline, if you can only add one item to your skin care regiment "Liquid Gold" is your go to serum.
