Look and Feel Younger with the BioMat

How does looking and feeling younger sound to you? Sounds good, right? No matter your age, location, income or race, this is something that appeals to both men and women around the globe. While some individuals may opt for pricey dermatological procedures, expensive ointments or costly and dangerous surgical options, looking and feeling younger is actually simple to achieve and, of course, costs much less too.

 
The BioMat is just what you need to bring rejuvenation and vigor to your life. The primary cause of the appearance of aging is stress and the BioMat will combat that factor while reinventing a youthful glow in your face. Additionally, because you experience pure relaxation you feel younger and ready to tackle the world. 

The infrared heat therapy of the BioMat calms both body and mind. This is the perfect recipe when it comes to not just feeling younger, but looking more youthful as well. One of the keys to this FDA approved item is the amethyst crystals. Amethyst crystals have proven therapeutic properties, which work on you in a positive and reparative fashion.

Imagine what your life would be like if you were full of energy each and every day. Not only would your spirits be elevated but you would also have a huge reduction in stress, and you could accomplish things that you never thought possible. No more being tired. Instead, imagine feeling vital and healthy enough to take on the world.

Further, your immunity will be elevated and the likelihood of illness is diminished. This means that while those around you may fall victim to the latest flu bug, you will remain healthy and active. BioMat sessions as brief as 15 minutes will leave you feeling refreshed, calm and energized. You receive all the daily youthfulness, energy and health benefits for a fraction of the cost of a trip to the spa.

I got my BioMat (professional and mini) last week and every time I use it, I feel like it puts me into a deep sense of relaxation and melts away the pain and stress.  I am loving it!  I am saving up for the amethyst pillow and some of the other items like the  PAL visualization system. 

These products do not have a wholesale price but because these products are so beneficial for health, JES Organics is selling them anyway at no profit. These are sold through a distributor system and some of the proceeds go to charities. 

Hyaluronic Acid in Anti-Aging Skincare Products

Hyaluronic acid, also called hyaluronan or hyaluronate, is a naturally occurring complex sugar, or glycosaminoglycan, found in the human body in connective, epithelial, and neural tissues.

Hyaluronic acid is naturally found in the extracellular matrix of human tissue. Topically applied hyaluronic acid forms an air permeable layer and penetrates into the dermis, thus boosting the elasticity and hydration of the skin. The protective breathable barrier on the skin locks in moisture which gives the skin a youthful appearance.

The cuticular layer of the skin normally contains 10-20% water, however as we age it can drop to below 10%. Hyaluronic acid comes to the rescue with its unique ability to hold more than 1000 ml of water per gram of hyaluronic acid, which is a key factor in allowing the skin to retain more water. Amazingly, hyaluronic acid adjusts its moisture absorption based on the relative humidity in the air. It is the ideal ingredient in skin care products as it adjusts to the skin’s need for a moisturizing effect depending on the relative humidity of seasons and climate of an area. Hyaluronic acid also protects the epidermis by scavenging reactive oxygen species generated by ultra violet light which would normally cause sunspots.

Hyaluronic acid is a major component of skin, where it is involved in tissue repair. When skin is excessively exposed to UVB rays, it becomes inflamed (sunburn) and the cells in the dermis stop producing hyaluronic acid, and increase the rate of its degradation. Hyaluronan degradation products also accumulate in the skin after UV exposure. Hyaluronic acid has tons of medical uses, from treatment of arthritis to wound healing.

As our skin is exposed to environmental pollutants and the sun’s ultraviolet rays, skin cells gradually lose the ability to produce hyaluronic acid. Studies have shown that older skin typically has lower levels of hyaluronic acid than younger skin. As a result, skin tissue becomes dehydrated and the collagen and elastin fibers lose their structure, resulting in a loss of skin volume, formation of the facial wrinkles and folds. When used in skincare, hyaluronic acid dramatically improves skin’s hydration.

As a complex sugar, hyaluronic acid is an excellent humectant. It retains water like a sponge, absorbing more than 1,000 times its weight. By attracting and maintaining water in upper and lower layers of the skin, hyaluronic acid increases skin’s volume and density. Hence the smoothness. Hyaluronic acid is also involved with the transport of essential nutrients to the skin cells and helps prevent age-related loss of collagen and elastin.

Hyaluronic Acid is one of the most exciting ingredients on the market today. We use only the vegan type of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is naturally found in the extracellular matrix of human tissue. Topically applied hyaluronic acid forms an air permeable layer and penetrates into the dermis, thus boosting the elasticity and hydration of the skin. The protective breathable barrier on the skin locks in moisture which gives the skin a youthful appearance.

DMAE is found in foods and can create an almost immediate appearance in the firming and tone of the skin.  An intriguing finding in some DMAE studies was that it reduced the accumulation of lipofuscin deposits inside cells. Lipofuscin deposits are cellular pigment consisting of aggregated chucks of molecular waste. It has been demonstrated that DMAE causes some degree of skin and pore tightening. However, it remains unclear how DMAE firms the skin -- whether by stabilizing the membranes, boosting acetylcholine, reducing lipofuscin deposits or none of the above. Whatever the mechanism, the effect of DMAE is often noticeable although seldom dramatic. Besides, even though DMAE can't fully reverse the existing facial sag, it may reduce its further progression. People report a cumulative effect with continued use of DMAE. Naturally occurring substance that facilitates the synthesis of a neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is a compound released from the ends of nerve fibers and it is involved in the transmission of nerve impulses. DMAE also may stimulate the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine, an important component of cell membranes. Phosphatidylcholine is an essential fatty acid that improves and protects cell membranes damaged by free-radicals and improves blood flow and circulation.

JES Organics Company Updates on Organic Skin Care Products

Well, I have been using the new Vitamin B3 Treatment serum for a week now and I am very excited with my own personal results.  I wanted it more for aging and sun spots and some hyperpigmentation from the sun on my neck.  However, in addition to using it on my face and neck, I also used it on a very itchy raised skin lesion on my forearm that I have had since April and couldn't get rid of.  I put the Vitamin B3 Treatment serum on that and within 24 hours, the itching stopped and within 48 hours, it was flat and almost gone.  I had a raised enlarged pore on my cheek that always bothered me and that is flat now in 72 hours and has almost disappeared.  I feel like my skin is noticeably more tone after applying the serum and I can't wait to see how it combats fine lines and sun spots in a few months. 

JES Organics Organic Skin Care Line was previously called Belle Peau Anti-Aging.  We have made the decision to change the name to Ageless Skin Care because our products are really good for all skin types.  We were hearing from our customers that moms were buying our skin care to prevent premature aging and that their teenagers were finding that it really helped their acneic prone skin.  And there is lots of research to support that the ingredients we use in our products works well for a broad spectrum of skin care types and issues.  Please be patient with us as we update the labels and web-site photos with the new products/information. 

Our Organically Preserved Body Lotion is also back now by popular demand.  This lotion was previously under our Belle Peau line but will now be under the new Ageless Line.

Compare our ingredients to the top selling Skin Care lines and you will see we have power packed skin care ingredients while still being natural, organic, organically preserved and non-toxic.  Because we are anti-corporate greed, you will find that our prices are very affordable and you can't beat the quality.  All of our products are FRAGRANCE FREE, PARABEN FREE, SULFATE FREE, NON-TOXIC. Rated 0-2 by Skin Deep for Safety and Toxicity. 

We added this new Vitamin B3 Treatment serum to our Ageless Skin Care Line based on the ingredients, organically preserved, quality, and all of the research supporting the benefits of these ingredients.  During my research with these ingredients and the Vitamin B3, I found it fascinating that a single product could work for the whole spectrum of skin types from acneic prone to anti-aging.  At JES Organics, we love it when we can keep it simple and have products that work for all age groups.

We have discontinued the Exfoliant even though it was an excellent product, we find that the majority of people have very busy lives and want to keep it as simple as possible.  Our Ageless 2 in 1 Cleanser gently exfoliates and cleanses at the same time eliminating that extra step. 

In the near future, we will be replacing the Nutrient Rich Beet Masque with a Creamy Detoxification Masque.  The Nutrient Rich Beet Masque is great for all skin types and helps to pull toxins from the skin and pores.  It is a powder masque that can be mixed with water, soy milk, yogurt or any liquid that is good for the skin.  With Beet Powder, Vitamins B and C this masque is well rounded and mild for all skin types. This is on sale for just a limited time. 

Beet Powder is extremely rich in iron, potassium, niacin, copper, vitamin A, vitamin C, folic acid, biotin, niacin, zinc, phosphorus, sodium, calcium, manganese, magnesium and contains phosphorus. Beets provide a natural source of phosphate of copper which is necessary for the skin to stretch.

Topical application of Niacinamide (B3) has been shown to increase Ceramide and free fatty acid levels in skin and to prevent skin from losing water content. It will decrease itching, inflammation, help acne affected skin, decrease oiliness, alleviate atopic dermatitis, decrease UV-induced skin cancers and help decrease facial pigmentation.

Whether the goal is fighting wrinkles and age spots or eradicating stubborn acne, cosmetic manufacturers are turning to an old vitamin that seems to be learning new skin care tricks. Niacinamide, aka vitamin B3, is popping up in moisturizers, eye creams, anti aging serums, and acne treatments, as scientists continue to unlock this nutrient's beauty benefits.

Vitamin B5 improves the moisture-retention capacity of the skin and stimulates skin regeneration. Dry skin stays supple and elastic for longer. It has an anti-inflammatory and anti-itching effect.

Ascorbyl Palmitate is found naturally in fruits and green vegetables and is essential for normal metabolism, wound healing, and tissue repair. Solubility enables this form of Vitamin C to reach the surface of the skin rapidly in amounts greater than can be achieved by water soluble Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid), therefore providing readily available form of Vitamin C to skin. It can be used by individuals who have normally sensitive skin.

Kaolin Clay - the mildest of all clays. It is suitable for sensitive skin. It helps stimulate circulation to the skin while gently exfoliating and cleansing it. It does not draw oils from the skin and can therefore be used on dry skin types.

Bentonite Clay is a highly absorbent clay that pulls toxins from the skin.

Treatment Serum with Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) & Antioxidants

Skin Types: Mature, Normal, Dry, Oily, Combination, Acneic

Whether the goal is fighting wrinkles and age spots or eradicating stubborn acne, cosmetic manufacturers are turning to an old vitamin that seems to be learning new skin care tricks. Niacinamide(Vitamin B3), is popping up in moisturizers, eye creams, anti-aging serums, and acne treatments, as scientists continue to unlock this nutrient's beauty benefits.

What It Does
Vitamin B3 is no stranger to dermatologists, who have known about niacinamide's acne-fighting ability for years. When 198 people with severe acne were given a proprietary formula containing 750 mg of niacinamide, 79 percent experienced a significant improvement in skin lesions after eight weeks. In fact, niacinamide seemed to work just as well as a popular antibiotic to reduce acne. But niacinamide isn't just reserved for the young.

Applying this nutrient to the skin can help prevent many of the signs of premature aging. A growing number of studies show that niacinamide improves the function of the epidermis, the skin's outer layer.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)

• Smoothes wrinkles
• Reduces sallowness
• Boosts the skin's elasticity
• Anti-Aging
• Fade age spots and other discolorations (A safe alternative to hydroquinone, a chemical skin lightener that may cause cancer)
• Fights Acne
• Rosacea

Niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3, has been used topically for rosacea. It is thought to improve the skin barrier, improve the skin’s moisture level, and reduce inflammation. One study looked at a niacinamide-containing facial moisturizer (applied twice daily) or a placebo moisturizer in 50 people with rosacea. After four weeks, the niacinamide-containing moisturizer was found to improve the skin barrier.

In one clinical trial, 50 women used a moisturizer containing 5 percent niacinamide on one side of the face and a placebo cream on the other. After 12 weeks, the niacinamide side showed less wrinkling and a significant reduction in age spots compared to the placebo side.

Unlike many cosmeceutical ingredients, there is a great deal of research that supports the use of topical niacinamide. Studies have shown its usefulness in increasing synthesis of collagen and lipids, inhibiting the transfer of melanosomes, and decreasing inflammation. As a precursor to niacin, it may even play a role in preventing skin cancer.

Hyperpigmentation also seems to respond to topical niacinamide. In a poster presented at the 2001 annual meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology, niacinamide was shown to decrease melanosome transfer to keratinocytes. In addition, a poster at the 2002 annual meeting of the AAD demonstrated that moisturizers containing 2% and 5% concentrations of niacinamide resulted in a clinically detectable decrease in facial pigmentation.

The mechanism by which niacinamide affects inflammation is unclear, but it has been shown to inhibit mast cell histamine release, neutrophil chemotaxis, and release of inflammatory mediators. It has also reduced the triglyceride and diglyceride content of sebum, resulting in less facial oil. Clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of topical niacinamide in treating inflammatory acne and rosacea in unrelated trials by Dr. Shalita, Dr. Zoe Draelos, and others.

Vitamin C
Topical ascorbic acid accelerates the healing of wound as it aids in stabilizing and generation of collagen. This vitamin stimulates collagen synthesis, production of stable collagen and triggers the production of enzymes that is necessary for the cross linking of collagen molecule which in turn gives better tissue strength.

1. Improves the appearance of skin by reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
2. May protect and lessen the effects of sunburns.
3. Protects cells from free-radicals
4. Protects the skin cell from damage due to ultraviolet light

Advantages
Once Vitamin C penetrates the skin, it stays there for up to 72 hours. This means that a properly formulated topical vitamin-C product can have a long lasting effect in the skin.

Fast acting, results can sometimes be seen in just a few days or weeks of use. Improvement in skin texture and skin tone is easily noticeable after a short time period of use. Depressed scars may take several months to be normalized.

Vitamin C Ester is well known and long documented antioxidant that protects the surface of the skin from free radicals that can damage the skin.

DMAE is found in foods and can create an almost immediate appearance in the firming and tone of the skin. Dimethylaminoethanol, better known as DMAE, is an antioxidant membrane stabilizer. When applied topically, it helps to firm, smoothes, and brighten skin. It also enhances the effects of other antioxidants like alpha lipoic acid and Vitamin C ester. As a result, DMAE works best when used in combination with other nutrients and an antioxidant base.

Alpha Lipoic Acid is the most powerful of antioxidants. It is able to benefit both the water and lipid portions of the skin. It is said to give the skin a “youthful and glowing appearance.”
