Mirai…Japanese Skincare for a more Youthful Look

Before I give you the details about two fabulous products I was recently introduced to, I want to tell you a little bit about this Japanese Face and Body Care Line that I am enjoying. The name of the skincare line is “Mirai”, which means “future”. The goal of Mirai is to offer you better skincare, therefore, reducing the need for cosmetics products. According to Mirai;

Less cosmetic moisturizing = More natural skin moisture

Less washing = More Natural Hydration

Less UV ray absorption = More Youthful Skin

Less sugary foods = More skin clarity

Less “quick fix” miracles = More lifelong skin beauty

mirai skincare products are very safe for your skin. Their website offers a list of all the ingredients along with a definition of each one miraiclinical.com/index.  One of the main ingredients in mirai is Astaxanthin. I definitely did not know what that ingredient was and now I do. Astaxanthin is a “natural antioxidant derived from microalgae. It is 800 times stronger in antioxidant protection than CoQ10.” Just reading this makes me like this skincare line so much more.

mirai’s 3-1 multi-tasking serum is exceptional. This serum acts as a Toner, Moisturizer, & Age-Defying Serum all in one. This serum also contains Astaxanthin, “the world’s most powerful anti-aging botanical”. 3-in-1 multitasking face serum  is a small container and is the perfect size for traveling. I use it as a moisturizer both day and night and as a primer before applying make-up. My make-up bag is so much lighter because of it.

mirai 3-1 multi tasking face serum contains Aloe and Green Tea, which help tone and allows skin to maintain a healthy pH balance preventing the skin from becoming too dry or too oily. Soy Protein helps moisturize and Rice Extract helps build the skin’s capacity to retain moisture.

mirai’s 3-1 multi-tasking serum is free of parabens and harmful synthetics, preservatives, coloring, and fragrance that can prematurely age skin.

I  love skin cleansers with a silky feel and mirai’s purifying & hydrating face wash is one of the silkiest cleansers I have ever used. It feel great applying to your face and neck and offers a very light foam, rinsing off easily.  mirai’s purifying & hydrating face wash also contains Astaxanthin, Green Tea, Coconut Oil, & Silk Protein, all the ingredients needed for luxurious glowing skin. This face wash has a light grapefruit scent and only  a small amount is needed for maximum results.

Be assured, this face wash will remove impurities from your face and neck and keeps you skin well hydrated. mirai’s purifying & hydrating face wash contains absolutely no harmful synthetic detergents, foaming agents, preservatives, and coloring that may strip away the skin’s natural protective barriers.

Another nice feature about mirai’s purifying & hydrating face wash is the Airless Bottle. It is used to ensure the purity and freshness of their formulation. mirai has and extensive line of skincare, body care and products for men as well as skincare tips and “how-to” videos. See it all here at  miraiclinical.com

Advice from the PROS regarding Colon Cancer Screening

DO Get Caught With Your Pants Down!! Get Screened For The Third Most Prevalent Cancer in the US – 1 in 20 Will Develop Colon Cancer

Getting screened for colon cancer may save your life. Despite its high incidence rate, colon cancer is unique in that it is one of the most preventable and, if found early, most treatable forms of cancer, according to the Colon Cancer Alliance, the nation’s leading patient advocacy organization dedicated to increasing colon cancer screening rates and survivorship. So, DON’T put off getting checked and DO get caught with your pants down!!!

March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month and to create awareness, support the efforts of the Colon Cancer Alliance and alert consumers of all ages, the RectiCare® (Lidocaine 5%) Anorectal Cream brand from Ferndale Healthcare®, Inc., has created a brochure titled “Colon Cancer Quick Facts.”  This brochure provides an easy-to-read summary ofSigns, Symptoms and Screening information and statistics, which calls out the fact that one in 20 people, male and female, will develop colon cancer in their lifetime. The company hopes that raising awareness with a “quick read,” may help motivate women and men to get screened for this type of cancer. 

Available at over 2,500 colo-rectal surgeons’ offices, this brochure explains:

·         Everyone over the age of 50 should see a doctor for a regular screening; 45 if you are of African American descent.

·         If you have a family history of colon cancer or are experiencing symptoms, you should be screened regardless of age.

·         Symptoms include weight loss, constipation, diarrhea, bloating, cramps, persistent fatigue, or blood in your stool.

There are several different ways in which you can be screened and it is important to determine which procedure is best for you. For more information, please visit: www.ccalliance.org.

Introducing Restylane Silk

GLADERMA INTRODUCES Restylane® Silk

Restylane Silk

Restylane Silk

If you are looking to add a little more plump to your lip without looking like you have been stung by 1000 bees or hit by a baseball bat Restylane® Silk is now available!

Restylane® Silk provides natural-looking lip definition and smoothes wrinkles around the mouth

Restylane® Silk, the first and only dermal filler that is U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved for subtle lip enhancement and the treatment of wrinkles and lines around the mouth. Restylane Silk is a smooth hyaluronic gel that is designed to restore natural youthful definition and symmetry to the lip and mouth area.

As people age, fat and collagen in the face begin to deteriorate and bone loss may occur, leading to thinner skin and more noticeable lines and wrinkles. In the lower part of the face, this often results in lost lip volume and definition and an increase in lines around the mouth.

Look at these natural before and afters:

B4 & after

B4 & after

I believe that any cosmetic changes should be considered carefully. I strongly advise anyone thinking about any type of enhancement to go to a highly skilled and trained doctor. The lip zone is very complicated and you really need a doctor that has thoroughly trained in administering the only FDA approved lip filler Restylane® Silk

When learning about Restylane® Silk, I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Ellen Marmur.

Dr. Ellen Marmur is a leading dermatologist and dermatologic surgeon. She is a recognized and admired expert in skin cancer diagnosis and surgery, Mohs surgery reconstructive surgery, cosmetic surgery, and women’s health dermatology. In addition to her private practice, Dr. Marmur is an Associate Clinical Professor in both the Department of Dermatology and the Department of Genetics & Genomic Research at The Mount Sinai Medical Center.

Dr Ellen Marmur is a elegant as she is accomplished. She is living proof that good dermatology can provide you with the fountain of youth. Personally if I was considering any type of fillers I would be most comfortable with a doctor who embodies good taste and brilliance. I think we can all

Dr Ellen Marmur demonstrated with precision how natural Restylane® Silk can look when administered in a skilled way. Duck lips are definitely a no-no in Dr Marmur’s surgery. The volunteer patients looked really natural and were thrilled with the results!

“The perfect face comes down to mathematics!” stated Dr Marmur. If all specialized doctors adhered to this notion there would be a lot less excessive augmentation of lips!
