Java! Not Just a Morning Pick-Me-Up...






More Than Just a Morning Pick-Me-Up


Key Ingredient — Caffeine
Caffeine is an alkaloid found in many plant beans, leaves, and fruits, including coffee, tea, cocoa, guarana, and kola nuts. Many of us are familiar with caffeine from our morning cup of coffee, but research is now showing that topically applied caffeine can also give your complexion a boost! Caffeine’s many known benefits make it an important component of Apriori Beauty’s NutrientReservoir.


Caffeine as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory | Caffeine contains high levels of antioxidants and anti-inflammatories, important for protecting skin cells from the damaging effects of oxidative stress. By nourishing the skin and protecting against inflammatory responses, caffeine can help address the accelerated aging that is associated with environmental exposure.


Caffeine as natural sun protection | An increasing body of research has shown that topically applied caffeine may help inhibit cellular damage caused by exposure to UVB rays. When applied prior to sun exposure, caffeine can help filter UVB rays and decrease DNA damage; after exposure, topically applied caffeine can encourage the death of damaged cells, potentially helping prevent skin cancer development.


Caffeine as a vasoconstrictor | Caffeine is well known as a vasoconstrictor, a compound capable of reducing the size of blood vessels in the skin. In topical applications, these vasoconstrictive properties of caffeine may be particularly effective in addressing redness associated with rosacea, and for helping reduce the appearance of dark under eye circles.
Caffeine is found in several of Apriori Beauty’s products, including Celloxylin Activating Tonic, Firming Complex, Eye + Lip Age Eraser, Day Defense Plus, Night Repair 3Deep, Precision Skin Rejuvenator, and Hydro-Burst Moisture Intense Lotion.

Apriori Beauty on New Stands Now!




Be sure to pick up the latest issue of NEW BEAUTY® magazine to see Apriori Beauty's Celloxylin® Precision Skin Rejuvenator highlighted in their feature article ...
Beauty Truths | Uncovering Fact from Fiction
Hormones: The New Powerful Anti-Aging Skin Care Ingredient

"Integrating hormones into oral supplements is nothing new, but science
has now drawn upon these benefits and is instilling hormonal components
and ingredients that act on hormones into skin care based on their
age-defying and skin-perfecting abilities."

Found on page 36, Precision Skin Rejuvenator is highlighted for its hormone-mimicking ingredients. "Even if a product doesn't contain a direct extract of a hormone, it still can activate its functionality and improve it. 'There are a lot of plant-derived ingredients, like phytoestrogens, that mimic the effects of hormones without any of the potential side effects,' says Dr. Murad."

"Since estrogen-based creams are available only through a prescription, many skin-care companies have looked to alternative ingredients, known as phytoestrogens, that act in a similar way to how estrogen does. The superconcentrated Apriori Beauty Precision Skin Rejuvenator addresses hormonal imbalances that come along with mature skin, reducing inflammation and working to rejuvenate the skin."

Importance of a Skin Care Regimen



Importance of a Skin Care Regimen
What’s your favorite skin care product? Now ask yourself: can that product provide every benefit you desire to achieve beautiful, healthy skin? Chances are the answer is no.

We all have our favorite products, but it’s unlikely that there’s one “silver bullet” product out there that can fill all of your skin’s needs. The skin around your eyes and lips is physiologically different from that on your forehead, cheeks, or chin. A brilliantly formulated, moisturizing cleanser is still unlikely to provide the hydrating boost that a moisturizing cream can . . . It is for these kinds of reasons that a regimen — a skin care system that incorporates a carefully chosen combination of products in conjunction with one another — is often the most effective way to make skin look and feel beautiful.

Why use a complete regimen?

1) Different formulations provide unique benefits to skin. 
Example — Serums penetrate easily to deliver anti-aging ingredients deep into skin, but do not hydrate like creams and lotions. Celloxylin Firming Complex is designed to deliver a boost of anti-aging ingredients deep into skin, while Day Defense Plus and Night Repair 3Deep help form a protective barrier against moisture loss from the skin’s surface.

2) Layering products in a strategic way allows for the most effective delivery of beneficial ingredients.
Example — Humectant ingredients such as Tremella fuciformis extract in the Activating Tonic help skin drink in hydrating ingredients from the Firming Complex. If you apply Firming Complex immediately after Activating Tonic (while skin is still moist), your skin will be able to better utilize the its complete anti-aging benefits.

3) Different parts of your skin have different needs.
Example — The area around your eyes and lips produces less natural oil than the rest of your face, and is more prone to premature aging from repetitive movement. The Eye + Lip Age Eraser is slightly thicker than a full-face cream, and is jam packed with anti-aging ingredients to protect and nourish the delicate skin around the eyes and lips.

The Celloxylin® daily regimen for face from Apriori Beauty utilizes products that work synergistically to deliver maximum anti-aging results. The regimen is complimented by Lifeoxylin® Cellular Defense Elixir, the ultimate in internal antioxidant and anti-aging protection. Lifeoxylin + Celloxylin combined provide complete internal + external support to nourish and protect your skin, helping you achieve the healthier, younger looking skin you desire.

What can Far Infrared FIR Do For You? Your Skin Will Tell The Story!

Far Infrared Light (FIR)
“Infrared light is anti-inflammatory, and we know that inflammation is responsible for aging. How could it not work on aging when inflammation is aging?” — Patricia Wexler, MD, Vogue (July 2011)Far infrared light (FIR) is a type of light emitted by the sun that falls out of the visible spectrum. In recent years, FIR technology has become increasingly recognized for a variety of reported benefits, including its ability to improve the health and appearance of skin. Unlike UV light, which is responsible for the majority of skin aging, FIR light may help stimulate skin cell growth and regeneration. Studies have shown that FIR can increase skin temperature and blood flow, reduce inflammation, improve cellular metabolism, and increase collagen synthesis. FIR is now being proposed as a viable therapy for everything from accelerating wound healing to addressing the visible signs of skin aging.
So, how does FIR work on the skin? FIR can be administered to skin using light-emitting diodes (LEDs), originally developed by NASA to help grow plants in space. According to a recent article in Vogue (July 2011), “The way in which LED therapy works in skin is similar to the process of photosynthesis: Precise wavelengths emitted by the tiny bulbs pass through the dermis, energizing injured cells and stimulating cellular activity.” Essentially, FIR therapy helps skin function in a more efficient, healthier manner.
Apriori Beauty’s Derma Firm Illuminator incorporates FIR therapy as one of four technologies utilized by the device to address skin aging at the cellular level. During the wrinkle (“W”) treatment cycles, FIR light is activated to deliver benefits to the skin and help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The result — skin that is visibly firmer, more radiant, and younger looking!

All Natural Anti-Aging SkinCare Apriori Beauty: Show Your Emotions, Not Your Age!

All Natural Anti-Aging SkinCare Apriori Beauty: Show Your Emotions, Not Your Age!: "Show your emotions, not your age! People often ask us, “Do I really need a unique moisturizer for my eye and lip areas?” This is ..."

Show Your Emotions, Not Your Age!











Show your emotions, not your age!
People often ask us, “Do I really need a unique moisturizer for my eye and lip areas?” This is a great question — though your skin will definitely benefit from application of a full-face moisturizer to the eye and lip areas, the fact is that these areas are very unique compared to the rest of your skin. Not only are eye and lip areas subject to stress from repetitive movement, they are also thinner, more delicate, and produce less natural oil than the skin on rest of your face. All of this results in skin that is more susceptible to the signs and symptoms of aging. It also means that skin around the eyes and lips needs more nourishment and hydration to remain healthy and young looking.

The Celloxylin Eye + Lip Age Eraser is specifically developed to address the process of aging around your eyes and lips, where age shows first. The firming, nutrient-rich formula contains potent antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, and moisturizers to help visibly reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles, address dark circles and under eye puffiness, and protect skin from further damage. You use your eyes and mouth to communicate with the world — Eye + Lip Age Eraser can help you show your emotions, not your age!

TRY THIS — Help prevent dry lips by carrying a 30-day set size of the Eye + Lip Age Eraser with you on the go. Apply regularly to keep lips soft and supple!

What's In Your Tonic? Apriori...Not So Typical!



What's in Your Tonic?
After cleansing, it is common to use a toner or astringent to help remove the last traces of impurities and help close pores. Unfortunately, many of these products contain drying alcohol that can disrupt skin barrier function and cause drying. Step 2 in the Celloxylin® regimen, Activating Tonic, is uniquely formulated to take advantage of the water absorbed by skin during cleansing and help prepare the skin to fully utilize the benefits of subsequent products in the regimen. Rather than closing pores, Activating Tonic contains powerful humectant ingredients to help skin retain moisture and fully absorb hydrating ingredients from Step 3, Firming Complex. In addition, it is designed to help protect the skin’s delicate structure by restoring the naturally acidic barrier that is commonly disrupted during rinsing.

We recommend applying the Activating Tonic immediately after rinsing, while skin is still slightly damp. Apply with a clean towel, cotton ball, or directly with your fingers!

NOT YOUR TYPICAL TONIC — KEY INGREDIENTS: 

Witch Hazel provides anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and astringent benefits without the drying or irritation commonly caused by alcohol based products.

Tremella fuciformis extract an extraordinary humectant. It both mois¬turizes the skin and helps the skin hold onto moisture longer. In addition, research shows that Tremella works effectively as a topical anti-oxidant, and contains high levels of Vitamin D important for cell metabolism.

Acetyl glucosamine and hyaluronic acid provide structural and functional support for the intracellular matrix (the area between skin cells), and help skin remain hydrated.

Acetyl octapeptide-3 addresses the appearance of lines and wrinkles.

Goji berryresveratrol, and angelica polymorpha provide antioxidant protection.

Cooling methol leaves skin feeling refreshed.

The Ulitimate 10 Minute Face Lift










































The Ultimate 10 Minute Face Lift


Did you know . . . the average cost for light treatment in a spa is $200 – 400 per session! Why travel to a spa when you can get the same benefits in home for a fraction of the cost?
So called “beauty gadgets” are earning a popular place in the cosmet- ics industry – why? – because they work! Here we breakdown the ben- efits of four different technologies on the market – ultrasound wave, vibration, FIR, and galvanic ion technology – to help you understand what they do!


1. ULTRASOUND WAVE THERAPY | Ultrasound wave technology uses sound waves that are greater than the upper limit of human hearing. These waves generate approximately 5 million vibrations per second and generate heat that raises the skin temperature by 0.5 – 1.0°C, benefiting skin in the follow- ing ways:
• Pores are opened, allowing for the removal of impurities
• Vibrations activate skin healing mechanisms and push nutrients deep into the skin
• Elastin and collagen production increase, reducing the appearance of lines/wrinkles
• Blood and lymph circulation increase
• Skin cell turnover increases as ultrasonic waves aid in dead cell removal
• Cell metabolism increases, resulting in a reduction of facial fat

2. VIBRATION THERAPY Vibration technology functions to both relax facial muscles and activate your skin cells’ natural healing properties to promote skin recovery. Elasticity increases, rendering the skin more youthful and luminous. Vibration technology also functions to push the Nutrient ReservoirTM into the deepest layer of the skin where it can help repair and protect the life of every skin cell. Benefits include:
* Skin and facial muscles are relaxed and rejuvenated
* Elastin & Collagen are strengthened
* Nutrients are transported deep into the skin


3. FAR INFRARED (FIR) | Infrared light is a type of electromagnetic radiation emitted by the sun whose wavelength falls out of the visible range. Despite the fact that we cannot see far infrared radiation, it is perceived by thermoreceptors in the skin as heat. FIR has the following benefits:
• Skin is warmed, unclogging pores and expanding capillaries
• Blood flow increases, helping eliminate toxins associated with aging and fatigue
• Mitochondrial stimulation results in increased enzyme activity and metabolism
• Promotes the breakdown of cellulite, fat, trapped water, and wastes
• Promotes the regeneration of skin tissue • Increases oxygen and nutrient delivery to cells resulting in increased skin vitality

4. GALVANIC ION THERAPY | When accompanied by an appropriate conducting agent (such as the CelloxylinTM Precision Skin Rejuvenator), galvanic ion therapy works by supplying a current of positive and negative ions through the skin. Posi- tive ions cleanse pores by clinging to dirt, oils, and makeup and extracting these impurities. Negative ions increase the skin’s ability to absorb nutrients from treatment products by push- ing them into deeper layers of the skin. The results:
• Energy from galvanic ion exchange attacks bacteria and promotes skin cell regeneration
• Impurities are extracted resulting in cleaner pores
• Beneficial nutrients are transported deep into the skin
• Skin is more hydrated, and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles is reduces


Most beauty therapy machines offer only 1 function:
Average cost for all technologies (without product): $400 + $200 + $450 + $350 = $1400
Derma Firm IlluminatorTM + Treatment System with CelloxylinTM Precision Skin Rejuvinator = $250









CelloxylinTM and the Derma Firm IlluminatorTM

A Winning Combination for the Ultimate 10 Minute Face Lift

An in home device whose combination of technologies makes it unmatched in the industry today. Together with the CelloxylinTM Precision Skin Rejuvenator, the Derma Firm IlluminatorTM helps to visibly reduce wrinkle length and depth while improving the tone, texture, and brightness of surface skin cells. The best part – 10 minutes daily will give you results for a fraction of the cost demanded by professional spas, salons, or combinations of single function beauty devices! The Derma Firm IlluminatorTM . . . why not make your skin healthier and more beautiful?
Cellular Age AdvantageTM
Youthful Skin Restored Renewed Rejuvenated!
The Derma Firm IlluminatorTM provides complete support for the patent-pending Nutrient ReservoirTM. This treatment system delivers beneficial age advantage nutrients into the upper most layers of the skin, visibly smooths fine lines and wrinkles, increases collagen production to visibly enhance skins firmness, reduces Inflammation, visibly reduces large pores, and improves the appearance of sun dam- aged skin!
SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN RESULTS | Clinical testing by an independent laboratory was conducted over a 28 day period to evaluate the ability of the CelloxylinTM + Derma Firm IlluminatorTM treatment system to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin’s elasticity, and increase skin moistur- ization. The results are in!
• 71.3% increase in skin moisture, with a maximum 131.24% increase observed!
• Lines and wrinkles appear dramatically reduced • Lines and wrinkles appear softer and smoother • Dry lines and wrinkles appear dramatically improved • Skin appears dramatically more hydrated • Skin feels significantly more hydrated • Roughness and dryness significantly reduced • Skin’s radiance significantly improved • Face appears significantly more youthful • Test product significantly improves skin’s overall appearance! • Test product significantly improves skins overall health!

Know Your Acids | AHAs & BHAs


Alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs) are highly effective anti-aging ingredients, clinically proven to reduce the signs of photoaging. When applied topically, AHAs and BHAs are known to diminish fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin tone, elasticity, and hydration, and reduce hyperpigmentation.





Alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) are organic acids found naturally in plants (glycolic acid) or sour milk (lactic acid); they may also be produced synthetically for use in cosmetic applications. They are widely known for their ability to improve the appearance and texture of aging skin by reducing fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and scarring. When topically applied, AHAs work on both the dermis and epidermis to improve skin health and appearance. On the surface, AHAs help dissolve the “glue” that holds dead skin cells together, encouraging skin cell sloughing from the epidermis and reducing the build up of dry, dead skin cells (a process known as keratinization).  Moving deeper into the dermis, AHAs effectively reduce the signs of photoaging by improving the quality of elastin fibers, increasing collagen density, and increasing dermal thickness.  AHAs also make skin more receptive to moisturization from topically applied products.  Because their small molecular size allows for increased skin penetration, glycolic and lactic acids are the most effective and commonly used AHAs.  Other AHAs used in skin care formulations include malic acid, citric acid, and tartaric acid.




   



Similar to AHAs, BHAs are organic acids that are commonly used in skin care preparations to treat the signs of aging, acne, and psoriasis through chemical exfoliation. When applied topically, they are also known to support improved skin barrier function, increase skin thickness, and promote collagen synthesis. Unlike AHAs, BHAs are lipid rather than water soluble, allowing them to pen- etrate the skin through follicles and aid exfoliation within pores. This property makes BHAs particularly useful in the treatment of oily skin, or for those suffer- ing from clogged pores and acne. BHAs also have anti-inflammatory and anti- bacterial properties that make them effective in addressing common dermatological problems. The most commonly used BHA is salicylic acid.

Firm It Up!



A friend contacted me about Apriori Beauty and asked me to try some samples. I have had a deep crease in between my eyes that’s been getting so bad I’ve contemplated getting botox. After just a few days of using the sample products the crease has decreased to a minimal wrinkle. I can’t wait to get my order of Firming Complex and see what other wrinkles disappear. It’s amazing! — Sara, MOAcetyl Octapeptide-3 | Acetyl Octapeptide-3 is a peptide ingredient, clinically proven to reduce the depth of wrinkles on the face caused by the contraction of muscles of facial expression, especially in the forehead and around the eyes.

How Often Should I Exfoliate?

How Often Should I Exfoliate?

Question — How often should I exfoliate? 
With age, the rate at which natural skin cell turnover occurs slows significantly. When skin cells are not shed properly from the skin’s surface, they can begin to accumulate and cause skin to be rough, dry, flaky, and dull looking. Exfoliation is an important step in a healthy skin care regimen because it helps reduce the accumulation of dead cells at the skin’s surface, and promotes healthy skin cell turnover.
Though exfoliation is an important step in promoting healthy skin, it is important to not overdo it! Over-exfoliation can actually damage the skin’s barrier function and cause skin dryness or irritation. The outermost layer of your skin forms a protective barrier against the environment — you want to maintain enough of the outer skin cells layers to effectively keep out pathogens, toxins, and other irritants and keep in essential moisture. Exfoliation is primarily a means of improving skin appearance by removing skin cell buildup that is not efficiently shedding on its own. Increasing the frequency of exfoliation beyond a healthy point will not help your skin, but with regular exfoliation you can definitely see a gradual improvement in skin tone, texture, and appearance.
To help benefit your skin, it is generally recommended that you exfoliate 1-3 times per week; the exact amount can depend on your particular skin type and exposure to environmental factors that cause skin damage. For example, oily skin tends to experience breakouts if skin is not able to slough out easily, so an individual with oily skin may exfoliate more frequently than someone with normal or sensitive skin.
When designing a regimen suited to your needs, be sure to assess how your skin feels before and after exfoliating to determine the frequency that is best for you! You can also chose to exfoliate using a mechanical exfoliant like theCelloxylin Enzyme Activated Micro Scrub, or a chemical exfoliant such as theCelloxylin MD 20EX Acid Peel. Both products are a great addition to your daily skin care regimen and will help you achieve brighter, healthier, and younger looking skin by removing dead skin cell buildup and revealing the radiant skin below!

All Natural Anti-Aging SkinCare Apriori Beauty: Is it really important to use a skin care regimen?...

All Natural Anti-Aging SkinCare Apriori Beauty: Is it really important to use a skin care regimen?...: "Importance of a Skin Care Regimen What’s your favorite skin care product? Now ask yourself: can that product provide every benefit you desi..."

Is it really important to use a skin care regimen?

Importance of a Skin Care Regimen
What’s your favorite skin care product? Now ask yourself: can that product provide every benefit you desire to achieve beautiful, healthy skin? Chances are the answer is no.
We all have our favorite products, but it’s unlikely that there’s one “silver bullet” product out there that can fill all of your skin’s needs. The skin around your eyes and lips is physiologically different from that on your forehead, cheeks, or chin. A brilliantly formulated, moisturizing cleanser is still unlikely to provide the hydrating boost that a moisturizing cream can . . . It is for these kinds of reasons that a regimen — a skin care system that incorporates a carefully chosen combination of products in conjunction with one another — is often the most effective way to make skin look and feel beautiful.
Why use a complete regimen?
1) Different formulations provide unique benefits to skin. 
Example — Serums penetrate easily to deliver anti-aging ingredients deep into skin, but do not hydrate like creams and lotions. Celloxylin Firming Complex is designed to deliver a boost of anti-aging ingredients deep into skin, while Day Defense Plus and Night Repair 3Deep help form a protective barrier against moisture loss from the skin’s surface.
2) Layering products in a strategic way allows for the most effective delivery of beneficial ingredients.
Example — Humectant ingredients such as Tremella fuciformis extract in the Activating Tonic help skin drink in hydrating ingredients from the Firming Complex. If you apply Firming Complex immediately after Activating Tonic (while skin is still moist), your skin will be able to better utilize the its complete anti-aging benefits.
3) Different parts of your skin have different needs.
Example — The area around your eyes and lips produces less natural oil than the rest of your face, and is more prone to premature aging from repetitive movement. The Eye + Lip Age Eraser is slightly thicker than a full-face cream, and is jam packed with anti-aging ingredients to protect and nourish the delicate skin around the eyes and lips.
