  • The Real Reason You Have Chapped Lips

    Hi Everyone! We sure do hope you are well and staying well! Have you noticed lately how dry your skin is and especially your lips? Well we sure have! There is a reason for it and it not necessarily the weather. Those masks you are wearing are actually drawing moisture away from your skin! The paper ones are the worst! They are usually made of the same type of material a paper towel is and we all know why we use paper towels right. We mop up the mess with them. And those blue ones? They are really only good for abut 1.2 hour… UGH…The things they don’t tell us! Cloth masks are just a bit better but remember to wash them regularly. We do have some available on site. Masks But how do we avoid this chafing/chapping drying effect? Let break it down. Moisturizers used just before you put a mask on could possibly help bacteria get trapped in the mask and we don’t want that! Here are a few suggestions that might help you. Moisturize about 30 minutes before you have to wear the mask. And, remember Makeup will rub off on the mask. And carry with you LIP BALM! Yes, lip balm has a coating that usually will not rub off as easily as moisturizers. When we were at the peak of the Covid here in Illinois we donated 100s of lip balms to medical personnel who were forced to wear lots of protection all day long. This resulted in severe chapped lips and chapped skin. So we decided to give you a break and reduced our lip balm to 20.00 for 10! SHHHH these make great stocking stuffers! The Royal Glow has been permanently reduced... How great is that? So take advantage while you can Let stay well and Hydrated Drink plenty of Water!

  • Has Covid kept you from glowing? It did me.

    Has Covid keep you from glowing? It did me. In recent months I had to realize that since I wasn’t going out as much I let my skincare slip. Yikes this was a grievous mistake. I did something I rarely do… I had microdermabrasion done by an expert. That's Important. I've decided to have this done twice a year. My skin very dull! Yes, I was feeling very … well unhappy. Here I am owning a fabulous skincare company and I was not as active in the protocol as I was when I was frequently going out and about. And wearing a mask is simply drying to the skin so that did not help at all. After a bit of microdermabrasion, I realized my folly! I started back on the protocol and I can see the fantastic difference. So why am I telling you this? It’s simply because we all have a tendency to fall back... We do it sometimes without realizing we are doing it. But the one good thing that came out of this was IT'S NEVER TO LATE! Dear friends and readers be encouraged to get back to your routine and don’t let the COVID situation stop you from being your best. You are valuable and deserve to feel great about yourself! So I take a few moments a day to encourage myself. 2 Drops of the Immune booster for my health. And, The Royal Spa Treatment every night. I’m back at it and I must say I’m glad. So if you’re feeling like I did. How about changing it? Find a good esthetician and have the microdermabrasion! Groupon has some Fab Special’s. Give it a go! I’m so glad that I did and am getting back to feeling great and looking my best! Yes, I know you can too. And don’t forget we slashed pricing on the Royal Spa Kit and we offer the Anti -Viral Package on site. Read all the information our lab has released about the package. Go ahead be Happy!

  • "These Are The Things That Are Truly Beneficial!"

    Article from Hello Glow Why is it that some of the healthiest habits make us look and feel kind of ridiculous? (See: oil pulling, yoga, turmeric masks.) Dry brushing is no exception, but just like sloshing oil in our mouths, hanging out in downward dog, and slathering our faces with neon-yellow paste, it’s totally worth it. Need a few reasons why? 7 Benefits of Dry Brushing It helps remove waste. Dry brushing gets your lymphatic system moving, which helps your body eliminate toxins lingering inside. Over time and from the impact of gravity, our lymphatic flow becomes sluggish and inefficient, so it is essential to support the body’s natural process of delivering nutrients and removing waste products [source]. This can be accomplished with dry brushing. Lymphatic congestion is a major factor leading to inflammation and disease, and massaging those lymph channels helps the body shed excess water and toxins. It improves blood flow. No surprise, much like massage therapy [source], skin brushing can get the blood flowing. That circulation boost is important for delivering oxygen and nutrients to your cells and also carrying off metabolic waste. Poor circulation can lead to swelling, cellulite, pain, and varicose veins. It helps smooth out cellulite. Dry skin brushing can help to soften fat deposits below the skin, which can minimize the appearance of cellulite when coupled with other lifestyle changes and home remedies. When toxins and excess water build up in the subcutaneous tissue, cellulite becomes more apparent. That’s the theory, at least. Anecdotally, it has helped my lumpy spots, but there’s no research to back this up, and anti-cellulite road tests have had mixed results. Some find dry brushing helps smooth away less-than-perfect spots on legs, while others see no cellulite improvement. Purchase Dry Brush Here This is The Best In Your Go To Immune Boost Yes It is ... Testimonies! Robert Had an Infected ulcerated blister on his hand that would not heal He used several over the counter meds. He decided to use the drops It fell off 3 days later. Sue had an abscess near a tooth she used the drops and 2 days later GONE and no dentist appointment to pull the tooth. Russ had a high fever with an earache he put drops in the Gatorade and was back at work in 36 hours. Pattys bridge in her mouth gave here a server infection. She rinsed daily with the drops and the mouth was cleared. Even after taking lots of medications that did not work to clear it up. Immune Boost /The Preventions Package

In case you didn't see Yesterday's Promo Here's The Scoop: Im Adding this from The Article Link Below Its really worth Reading! The importance of silver for its curative properties has been known for centuries, in fact, silver has been the most extensively studied metal for purpose of fighting infections and preventing food spoilage, and notwithstanding the decline of its use as a consequence of the development of antibiotics, prophylaxis against gonococcal ophthalmia neonatorum with silver ions was considered the standard of care in many countries until the end of the 20th century [17]. Silver’s mode of action is presumed to be dependent on Ag+ ions, which strongly inhibit bacterial growth through suppression of respiratory enzymes and electron transport components and through interference with DNA functions [18]. Therefore, the antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties of silver ions and silver compounds have been extensively studied.

However, for some, the heat paired with the Mask and Alcohol Disinfectants  can cause the skin around your mouth and chin to become red and irritated. If you have seen pictures of  nurses, who were forced to spray their surgical masks with Alcohol to kill the  virus on their mask, it’s pretty ugly. They have a red band around their nose,mouth and chin. We know that wearing a mask is mandatory right now, but you don’t have to use Alcohol to Sanitize. Our Mask and Bandana spray will help sanitize any fabric.  New technology has made nano-particless silver incredibly more bioactive in the old colloidal silvers.  This new compound uses nanometer size particles, which are non-toxic, and extremely safe.  It outperforms all types of silver aqua souls from the last century. New Scientific Research.  Research studies are showing a wide range of benefits when nAg(prt) is used in a wide variety of ways.  Scientists have shown that nano-silver can destroy 99.99% of all bacteria, viruses, mold, fungus and other pathogens.  Laboratory tests show it begins destroying these infestations within the first 15-60 seconds. Masks trap sweat and moisture which along with friction from the fabric can disrupt the skin's protective barrier. . This can result in irritation of the skin.In addition, residue from laundry detergent can embed into the fabric of the face-covering, which can also cause irritation on your skin. For this reason, We  suggest using a Hypoallergenic Detergent and Clear Sensitive Skin to avoid any adverse reactions. What kind of mask is best to wear right now? The best masks will contain several layers of fabric . Cotton is the best fabric on the inner lining touching the skin because it is less irritating than synthetic materials. Nanomedicine a New Horizon.  New advances in nanotechnology have opened opportunities to treat infectious diseases, given the fact, that the widespread use of broad-spectrum antibiotics has produced antibiotic resistance for many human bacterial pathogens. Since ancient times, silver was known for its antibacterial effects and for centuries it has been used to prevent and control disparate infections.  Current nanotechnology and nanomaterials are fully integrated in common applications and objects that we use every day. Extremely Safe for Humans, Pets and the Environment.  Research, testing, and a long term use has proven that silver is completely safe for everyone, including children and the elderly.  Every family in America should have at least 1 ounce of nAgprt in their first aid kit. EPA States Silver is Safe for Humans. “When used in the right concentrations, in the right forms, and in the right manners”. “As a liquid(Water) with ten parts per million (10ppm), you’d have to drink 16 ounces of that liquid every day for 72 years, it’s estimated, if none of it left your body, before you would reach a point where it would saturate your system causing argyria”( a toxicity condition caused by consuming to much silver). Emergency Preparedness.  Because nAgprt is inorganic with no chemicals or other additives, preservatives, fillers or stabilizers, nAgprt concentrate can be stored for up to 10 years.  Government agencies and health organizations have recommended the use of silver as a potential agent to supply drinking water to families, in the event of a bioterrorism attack on our public water supply, an epidemic outbreak or natural disasters like floods, hurricanes and earthquakes. Vegetable Wash: Don't wash your food with soap. I do not believe it is necessary to wash your food with antiseptic wipes or soap, especially with the new CDC guidance that states transmission through surfaces and objects is a less likely route for infection than initially suspected. In addition, it's not healthy to Eat Soaps or Alcohol based disinfectants. The Problem Is? You don’t know who handled the apples or that head of cabbage before you did. Plus the store employee may be wearing a mask but are they wearing gloves as well. The Solution Is! You can Clean fresh veggies and fruits in the sink, to remove those nesty viruses and bacteria with an Antibacterial-Antiviral Veggie- Fruit, non- alcohol disinfectant. This brand New All Natural Concentrate cleans and sanitizes at the same time. Just cover your veggie-fruit with cool tap water, add 2 squirts, stir, let set for 3-4 minutes and drain.

  • The "Special Ingredient" That Makes YOU GLOW

    Why I started this Company & The Secret! Theresa Phillips It was a few years ago when my husband thought it would be great to give me a facial gift at a local spa. I reluctantly went and was treated like a queen. I was super surprised to see that the products there were using happened to be oils on my face. I began to ask questions about the oils and the esthetician began to explain to me why they are used. I was surprised at how my once oily and now dry skin was accepting these oils. She used Vitamin C to exfoliate my skin. That’s our BRIGHTENER. The she steamed my face with these oils making my skin look smoother and brighter Then she used Lavender and other oils on my face. That’s our CALMER. Again she steamed my face. My skin was in hydration transformation! I loved it and all the while she was telling me what oils she was using I knew I had that at home. I had been making an anointing oil for ministers and had some of those ingredients in the oil room. I went home and started experimenting with the oils and discovered that “Anointing Oil” IS a super key ingredient that NO ONE else has! I began to try to develop a face cream Using the “Special Oil” and found I was not getting I right. BUT I found someone who was and hired them Immediately to develop the ROYAL GLOW FACE CREAM. The Organic Wash was easy for me to make and adding that “Special Oil” Makes it all the different than any other! I could see the transformation on my face and was in shock! I began to ask people I knew to try the Serums I created The BRIGHTENER and The CALMER and was so shocked again to see them loving it! (Just to make sure that we had not someone else’s formula or anything like it we make sure that “Special Oil” is in all our products!) To Date we have developed several products contains that “Special Oil” working with 3 Labs to help us achieve the success in skincare that we’re all looking for.

  • 'About Anti Aging Ingredients" Kathy Ronning Licensed Esthetician

    The Three Most Effective Anti-aging Ingredients More than simply the passage of time (aging) environmental factors, especially UV damage, plays the largest part in skin aging. Therefore, we can do a lot in preventing and reversing skin aging. The three most important topical skin ingredients to combat skin aging are vitamin A, antioxidants and peptides. These three ingredients are synergistic when used together and are powerful and effective in treating aging skin. Vitamin A Vitamin A was first used as an anti-aging ingredient in the 1950's but was not widely accepted and used until the 1980's. It had been observed that sun exposed skin was aging faster than protected skin. The sun exposed skin was deficient in vitamin A where as the protected skin had normal vitamin A levels. After much research, it was determined that skin aging is actually the result of localized vitamin A deficiency as the result of UV exposure. Therefore, replacing vitamin A is a critical step in your anti-aging regime. Subscribe To This Blog Vitamin A is part if the chemical family called retinoids. There are four forms of vitamin A and each are used for both prevention and treatment of aging skin. Retinol Palmitate is the main ester or "fat" form of vitamin A used in anti-aging products. The ester form is the most gentle on the skin and is the recommended starting form of vitamin A in an anti-aging skin care regime. This is also the only form of vitamin A that should be used during the day because it does not increase sun sensitivity. Retinol is the alcohol form of vitamin A and is considered the basic form of vitamin A from a chemical point of view. It is the the most widely used formulation in skin care. Retinaldehyde (retinal) is only one metabolic step away from retinoic acid which is the metabolically active form of vitamin A. This is the least known and used form of vitamin A in skin care. Retinoic acid is generally only available on prescription for topical use. There are several formulations of retin A depending on their specific action such as treating acne or aging. Retin A more than the other forms of vitamin A can cause skin irritation, drying, flaking, redness and peeling so it should be used under the supervision of a physician. Regardless of which form of vitamin A you choose, they all convert to retinoic acid once inside the cell's nucleus. Starting with retinol palmitate is just a slower and gentler process. Antioxidants In the1990's people began to realize that free radicals were a real danger to the health of our skin. During this time vitamin C (ascorbic acid) became popular for its antioxidant activity. Vitamin C is the most widely used antioxidant in skincare and is considered the most important vitamin to protect the cell from free radical damage. No single antioxidant alone will meet all the demands of free radicals so multiple antioxidants such as vitamin E, beta carotene and green tea along with vitamin C is the best approach. Free radicals are atoms that lack at least one electron in their outer shell which make them unstable and destructive to nearby atoms. When the atom loses an electron from being damaged, it tries to steal an electron from another atom which can set off a chain reaction resulting in thousands of atoms (speaking here of atoms in skin cells) becoming damaged. It bounces around like a billiard ball trying to restore its electrical balance. This all happens in under a twenty-thousandth of a second. Antioxidants are able to neutralize the free radical by supplying the necessary electron without becoming a free radical themselves. Antioxidants are supplied by some plants especially fruits and vegetables. It is important to get these through your diet and also applied topically. Antioxidants increase the benefits of sunscreen not by blocking the UV rays but by mopping up the excess free radicals caused by the UV damage. Even after sunburn, applying topical antioxidants help the burned skin return to normal at a faster rate. Because antioxidants are able to protect the DNA of the cell from UV damage, they also help protect from skin cancer. Skin cancer is a result of damage to the DNA in the cell. Peptides Peptides are the most exciting field in skin care research today. The latest advances in skin care in the past 15 years have been in peptides. Peptides are short chains of amino acids (proteins) that signal the cell to perform specific actions. They nourish and strengthen the skin helping the skin behave and look as if it were younger. Peptides give us a chance to stop the natural degradation from sun damage and other environmental damage. Peptides are specific in their activity and can be intercellular messengers sending messages from one cell to another. These can be signaling peptides. An example would be matrixyl, which signal the cell to stimulate the formation of collagen and elastin. Another peptide activity is neurotransmitters, which affect the activity on the nerve impulse stimulating muscles. The most common of this type of peptide is argireline, (commonly called Botox in a bottle). Copper peptides have been used for years in wound healing and those same effects make it useful in skin rejuvenation. In conclusion, these three products (vitamin A, antioxidants and peptides) should be applied twice a day on clean skin. It doesn't matter which is applied first and it works fine to cocktail the products together to apply. Don't forget to always follow with sunscreen during the day.

  • Welcome Our Professional Esthetician Kathy Ronning

    Preventing Hyperpigmentation You most likely know the importance of using sunscreen to prevent sun induced hyperpigmentation and how antioxidants and vitamin A regulate the formation of melanin preventing hyperpigmentation, but did you know that wearing broad spectrum UV sunglasses help prevent hyperpigmentation as well? Thats right it all starts in the eyes. Let's talk about how each of these protect our skin. One should never underestimate the importance of daily protection from UV rays. Sunscreen is likely the first product we think of when preventing hyperpigmentation. Sunscreen ingredients are either physical or chemical. Physical sunscreens which are titanium oxide or zinc oxide are safer and more effective than chemical sunscreens. Chemical sunscreens, a good example being Parasol 1789, should be no more than a SPF of 15 since they can become free radicals themselves by absorbing UV rays and thus become damaging instead of protective for the skin. Subscribe To This Blog Antioxidants, such as vitamin C, are a second line of defense because even when using sunscreen some UV rays will still manage to penetrate and damage your skin. Because UVA light activates free radicals, again very damaging to the skin, it is important to use antioxidants, which are free radical scavengers, along with your sunscreen. Vitamin A is key in protecting from UV damage by protecting the DNA in the skin cells. This not only helps sun induced photo damage (hyperpigmentation) but also protects against skin cancer. So how do sunglasses protect against hyperpigmentation? UV protecting sunglasses are really your first line of defense. As light enters through the eye it stimulates the pituitary gland. (The pituitary gland, a very small gland located behind your eyes and in front of your brain, is connected to the optic nerve. The pituitary gland is very sensitive to sunlight that comes in through the optic nerve). The entering light activates the MSH (melanin stimulating hormone) which is the primary stimulus for the formation of melanin. The light coming in sets off a chemical reaction of amino acids which converts to melanin then transfers from the melanocyte (melanin cell) to the keratinocyte (skin cells) which can results in hyperpigmentation i.e. tan, freckles or age spots. So when we do not wear sunglasses, our skin produces more melanin.When choosing sunglasses, be sure to get those with 100% UV protection. Larger frames are better. Controlling the initial stimulus goes a long way to preventing hyperpigmentation caused by UV light. Wrapping up: Hyperpigmentation is best prevented since it can be difficult to treat. Daily use of sunscreen, antioxidants, vitamin A and wearing UV protection sunglasses is you best defense against unwanted and difficult to treat hyperpigmentation.
