Skin Type Evaluation

In an effort to provide our clients with a quick and long-term program for the care and prevention of damaged and aging skin, we offer a unique, comprehensive approach to skin care. The first step on your road to healthier skin is to understand your skin type. Under each skin type description you will find general information, skin care product recommendations, basic skin care advice and seasonal skin care advice.

A Lifestyle Change

Everyone Wants To Look Their Best.

And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Take care of yourself!

We are firm believers in a great product, but in the majority of cases, skin care products alone won't "fix" your problem. Even when they do, also making the correct lifestyle changes will boost results dramatically.

Diet is a lot like chemistry. We now understand that certain foods cause chemical changes in our bodies that may enhance skin health, or impede it.

The two most singularly important substances that drive the force behind the body's own purifying and healing abilities are OXYGEN & WATER!

Sometimes the question is not what to do, but rather what NOT to do! Some of the habits we engage in daily (even those that seem harmless) are erecting barriers to uncovering your skin's radiance and beauty.

Eat healthy. Exercise regularly. Have a positive outlook and attitude. Stop smoking. Do not use drugs. Use our skin care products. Simple advice, isn't it?

Start taking care of yourself today by making a complete lifestyle change, not just a change in your skin care products.

To have a pleasing appearance is a

basic human desire.

Skin Care - neaclear Liquid Oxygen Skin Care Products
We are bombarded with advertising for products claiming to help our skin stay healthy and youthful. What is true and what is fiction?

If you value your youthful looks and want to avoid wrinkling, start a safe simple skin care program early. Always protect yourself from the sun with sunblock, especially if you have dry or sensitive skin.

Cosmetics are a safe way to temporarily lubricate your skin and conceal blemishes and imperfections. Keep your cosmetic routine simple, and stick to a few skin care products that agree with your skin. Keep in mind that cosmetics only conceal, they don't heal.

It is never too late to start a skin rejuvenation regimen with the right skin care products to reverse some of the changes of aging and to slow down the aging process.

Skin Anatomy

The epidermis is the most superficial layer of the skin and provides the first barrier of protection from the invasion of foreign substances into the body. The principal cell of the epidermis is called a keratinocyte. The epidermis is subdivided into five layers or strata, the stratum germinativum (SG), the stratum spinosum (SS), the stratum granulosum (SGR), the stratum lucidum and the stratum corneum (SC).

The miracle starts in the lower layers of the epidermis, where new cells are continually forming. As they mature, they slowly work their way to the surface, where after becoming depleted of moisture, are sloughed off.

The epidermis is in a constant state of renewal completely replacing itself every 28 days. The epidermis is the visible layer of your skin - a mere 1/1000 of an inch thick. Just think, your whole appearance depends on the visible condition of less than a millimeter of skin.

The dermis assumes the most important functions of the skin - thermoregulation and supporting the vascular network (to supply the avascular epidermis with nutrients). The dermis is typically subdivided into two zones, a papillary dermis and a reticular layer.

The dermis contains mostly fibroblasts which are responsible for making collagen, elastin and ground substance that give the skin it's support and elasticity. Also present are immune cells that are involved in defense against foreign invaders passing through the epidermis.

The skin also contains a variety of appendages, mainly hair follicles, sweat glands and sebaceous glands.

Nutrition

What's the Best Nutrition Advice?

It's following some simple guidelines for a healthy diet. By following these guidelines, you can enjoy better health and reduce your chances of getting certain diseases.

Eat a variety of foods to get the energy, protein, vitamins, minerals, and fiber you need for good health.

Balance the food you eat with physical activity - maintain or improve your weight to reduce you chances of having high blood pressure, heart disease, a stroke, certain cancers, and the most common kind of diabetes.

Choose a diet with plenty of grain products, vegetables, and fruits which provide needed vitamins, minerals, fiber, and complex carbohydrates, and can help you lower your intake of fat. Make sure to prefer organic!

Choose a diet low in fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol to reduce your risk of heart attack and certain types of cancer and to help you maintain a healthy weight.

Choose a diet moderate in sugars. A diet with lots of sugars has too many calories and too few nutrients for most people and can contribute to tooth decay.

Choose a diet moderate in salt and sodium to help reduce your risk of high blood pressure.

If you drink alcoholic beverages, do so in moderation. Alcoholic beverages supply calories, but little or no nutrients. drinking alcohol is also the cause of many health problems and accidents and can lead to addiction.

Sun Safety

As we age, the elastic tissue of the face begins to lose its springy, rubber band-like quality. The harmful effects of the sun also begin to show. This allows wrinkles, big pores, brown patches and small veins to form, giving the appearance of an aging and sun-damaged face.

Let’s talk about skin cancer for a second:

Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States. More than 500,000 new cases are reported each year – and the incidence is rising faster than any other type of cancer.

Most people also have no idea that 80% of our lifetime sun exposure and risk of getting skin cancer occurs before the age of 18!

The primary cause of skin cancer is ultraviolet radiation - most often from the sun, but also from artificial sources like sunlamps and tanning booths. In fact, researchers believe that our quest for the perfect tan, an increase in outdoor activities, and perhaps the thinning of the earth's protective ozone layer are behind the alarming rise we're now seeing in skin cancers.

Anyone can get skin cancer - no matter what your skin type, race or age, no matter where you live or what you do. But your risk is greater if...

Your skin is fair and freckles easily
You have dry skin or sensitive skin
You have light-colored hair and eyes
You have a large number of moles, or moles of unusual size or shape
You have a family history of skin cancer or a personal history of blistering sunburn
You spend a lot of time working or playing outdoors
You live closer to the equator, at a higher altitude, or in any place that gets intense, year-round sunshine
You received therapeutic radiation treatments for adolescent acne

Sunscreens and sunblocks remain the best defense your skin has against the drying, wrinkling and burning effects of the sun's UV rays.

Older Skin Has DNA Damage
While it is quite common for our cells to sustain some DNA damage over the course of time, our skin cells take the brunt of this damage, since these cells are routinely exposed to solar radiation. In fact, when you get a sunburn, thousands of skin cells have been killed. The cells that survive often have DNA damage. Unfortunately, as we age, our bodies produce less DNA and RNA material, so our cells lose their ability to repair DNA damage—all of which promotes wrinkles, lines, and sagging.

Protect Yourself and Your Family All Year Round

Do not sunbathe.
Avoid unnecessary sun exposure, especially between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., the peak hours for harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
When outdoors, use sunscreens rated SPF 15 or higher. Apply them liberally, uniformly, and frequently.
When exposed to sunlight, wear protective clothing such as long pants, long-sleeved shirts, broad-brimmed hats, and UV-protective sunglasses.
Stay away from artificial tanning devices.
Teach your children good sun protection habits at an early age: The damage that leads to adult skin cancers starts in childhood.
Examine your skin head to toe at least once every three months.

Did You Know?

Year-round sun protection is important
The sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation can penetrate many types of clothes?
It can also go through automobile and residential windows?
It can damage your eyes, contributing to cataracts, macular? degeneration, and eyelid cancers?
When you're on snow or ice, your face and eyes are at almost twice the risk of UV damage because of reflected glare?

Exercise

There are many keys to keep your skin healthy. One of the most important is to keep your whole body in good shape.

Along with proper nutrition, drinking plenty of water, avoidance of sun damage and the multitude of "skin care treatments" that are recommended, one of the most beneficial habits you can start is exercise.

Exercise helps you feel more energetic, maintain better skin quality and you feel healthy.

Make exercise a habit and you will never regret it!

The benefits of habitual exercise include:

improves cardiac efficiency
improves capillary density in skeletal muscle
improves endurance during exercise
increases metabolism
counteracts obesity
increases the ratio of high-to-low-density lipoprotein cholesterol
improves the structure and function of ligaments, tendons and joints
increases muscle strength
reduces perceived exertion for given work rate
increases the release of endorphins
enhances tolerance to hot environments with a consequent increase in sweating
counteracts osteoporosis

The importance of a good work out cannot be overemphasized. There are many different approaches but the keys are consistency, frequency and repetition. It's okay to miss a workout or take a week off when you feel your workouts are not productive and your muscles are fatigued.

Another trick is to just change your routine - change the exercises you do or just the order. A lifetime of exercise is one of the nicest things you can do for your body. You deserve it!

DON'T FORGET TO ALWAYS DRINK PLENTY OF WATER!

Children

Ten years ago, no one really talked about using sun block on children. Now we know that 80% of sun damage occurs in the first 18 years of life!

Think about that!

neaclear^® & neaclear^Plus^® neaclear liquid oxygen skin care products

Bringing oxygen back into your life.

neaclear^Plus^® invites you to try our new Liquid Oxygen Skin Care Products. Let the revolution begin...

Why OXYGEN?

Oxygen is the most vital nutrient required by the human body for cell reproduction and growth. studies have shown that the most significant factor in health and longevity is how well you breathe. the reason is because this determines how much oxygen your cells get exposed to.

today’s breathable air contains less that 20% oxygen. at one time, this number was more than 50%.

how have our bodies adapted to this change?

our bodies have adapted but at a cost. that cost is evident in the number of cases of cancer, AIDS, heart attacks, strokes and other illnesses that cripple and kill our bodies. the facts are that without an adequate amount of oxygen in our bodies, our cells become less efficient in reproduction and growth and start to turn into sick cells. the more sick cells a person accumulates, the better the chances of that person becoming ill. if you are living in either a big city or at a high altitude, then you are experiencing an even worse air quality. less air quality translates into a respective lack of oxygen.

the anti-aging literature is filled with numerous studies that support the benefits of oxygen therapy.

Bacteria, viruses and diseases find it very difficult to live and survive in an oxygen rich environment.

Oxygen has been shown to have rejuvenative effects, especially on the skin.

We at neaclear^® understand this.

Frequently Asked Questions

The following are frequently asked questions about our skin care product lines.

Is neaclear^® sold at cosmetic counters or through pharmacies?

Both. These products are available in your local grocery or drugstore, as well as larger chain stores, salons, spas and on the Internet.

Is neaclear^Plus sold at cosmetic counters or through pharmacies?

Neither. These special physician-strength products are available only from physicians, exclusive spas or thru the internet.

Doesn't oxygen cause free radicals?

Oxidative reactions continuously take place during normal cellular metabolism. A secondary effect of these reactions are free radicals. Free radicals are a fact of life. Life as we know it, could not exist without free radicals. Free radicals come from two major sources: (a) endogenous and (b) exogenous. Endogenous free radicals are produced in the body. Exogenous sources include air pollution, of which industrial waste and cigarette smoke are the major contributors. There are many kinds of free radicals, the majority of them not coming from oxygen. Oxygen free radicals are highly reactive, short-lived and well-controlled. They are actually beneficial because they work as part of the white blood cell's defenses against infection and injury. Medical researchers are just beginning to unravel these complex dynamics.

Do your products have something that retards free radicals to slow down aging?

Under normal conditions, the damaging actions of free radicals are minimized by abundant protective and repair mechanisms that normal cells possess. Oxygen actually helps speed up their effective removal. There are many free radical scavengers but Vitamin C and E are the most effective. Many people feel that oxygen is one of the most powerful antioxidants that works to stop the damage caused by “unhealthy” free radicals.

Does oxygen slow down aging?

The anti-aging literature is filled with studies that support the benefits of oxygen therapy. Bacteria, viruses and diseases find it very difficult to live and survive in an oxygen rich environment. There is also a lot of data out there supporting the rejuvenative effects of oxygen especially on the skin. The facts are that if our skin can be exposed to more oxygen, our skin cells will reproduce and grow healthier, which will enable our skin to become stronger and stay stronger.

What is the difference between a regular liquid soap and an antibacterial liquid soap?

The main difference is that antibacterial soaps contain more ingredients for controlling germs. Washing with plain soap initially removes some germs, but the germs left on the hands can re-grow. You must remember that it is normal to have bacteria on your skin all over your body. Only when the count becomes too high or the bacteria grow uncontrollably is this a problem. The trend towards antibacterial soaps is coming to an end as the medical literature has now pointed out in many studies that this can actually be detrimental since it selects out "super bacteria" and ruins the normal flora of bacteria on your skin. Check out a great study at How effective are antiseptic soaps? Remember, your skin generally coexists with the normal bacterial flora on it's surface. They both need each other. It is what nature intended.

Should I be worried about the oxygen in neaclear^® or neaclear^Plus products catching on fire?

neaclear^® and neaclear^Plusproducts all have oxygen in them. That is what makes them so special. In their product research and development and stability testing, they have never encountered this problem. They always recommend, however, not placing these products close to any sources of fire or anything flammable (a good piece of advice with any skin care products).

When can I expect to see final results?

Your skin will most likely become softer and smoother within a few days. Improvement will continue with use. By 6 weeks you should begin to see and feel visible progress, depending on the condition of your skin prior to use. The look of fine lines will diminish and the overall tone and texture of your skin will become more even. Additionally, peels, microdermabrasion and laser rejuvenation by a physician can hasten the results.

What can I do about my sun-damaged skin?

A complete skin evaluation from your physician is important to check for skin cancer. Then choose a neaclear^® or neaclear^Plus regimen that’s right for your skin type. Adding vitamins C and E to your daily intake will help. It's never too late to fight back!

Is skin tingling normal when using an AHA product?

Yes. A small amount of tingling is normal when AHA products are first applied. It should subside within a few seconds. If the tingling is uncomfortable, wait 15–30 minutes after cleansing before applying another product. If redness or irritation persist, stop using the product and contact your physician.

Does AHA cause sun sensitivity?

It can. They always recommend that patients use neaclear^® or neaclear^Plus products in conjunction with sunscreen.

What can neaclear^® or neaclear^Plus do for me?

neaclear^® and neaclear^Plus regimens contain alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) to normalize the exfoliation process and increase hydration of your skin. Exfoliation and maintaining hydration generally slows down with age and sun exposure. As the dry outer layer is exfoliated by AHA, younger, healthier, smoother-looking skin is revealed. If AHA products are sensitive for your skin, neaclear^® also makes glycolic-free products, specially formulated for magnificent results.

Is it more expensive to purchase skin care products from a physician?

neaclear^Plus is a exclusive and high-end skin care line. When you get your products from a physician, you get skin care products that are exactly right for your skin care needs and conditions with the outcome you expect, whether you have normal skin, sensitive skin, oily skin or dry skin. In the long run, it is actually a better value since you receive only what you need.

Is there really liquid oxygen in neaclear^® & neaclear^Plus products?

neaclear^® and neaclear^Plus skin care products all have oxygen in them. The oxygenation is a special 4 step process that enables us to place oxygen into a stable liquid form. Liquid oxygen in it's purest form is combustible and basically "rocket fuel". NO, they do not have rocket fuel (pure liquid oxygen) in their products. Again, we always recommend not placing these products close to any sources of fire or anything flammable (a good piece of advice with any skin care products).

What is the shelf life neaclear skin care products?

All of neaclear products are tested for a shelf life of two years from the date of manufacture. However, they only recommend using the product within one year of opening it to guarantee freshness and efficacy.
