Looking tired? We’ve got the answer

May 21, 2010

If you suffer from dark circles under your eyes, we have the answer. De-oxygenated blood is blue – and is what can cause those annoying dark circles.

The skin around the eyes is delicate, thin and translucent, which means it shows the colour of the underlying blood clearer than any other part of the body. In people whose blood is less oxygenated the blood shows darker and more blue in tone – giving you that tired look.

Karin Herzog’s Eye Cream contains 0.5% active oxygen, and is clinically proved to delivery oxygen through all three layers of skin. Oxygen increases circulation, detoxes and energises so the eye cream has an amazing effect on dark eye circles. It also contains vitamins A and E, plus water to hydrate the area.

Apply morning and night to the eye area without rubbing in. You only need a tiny amount of this wonder cream for every application, meaning one pot should last you for 10 months.

Poll: What your biggest skincare worry?

Poll: What most concerns you about your skin?.

It’s time for change!

April 30, 2010

And we don’t mean politics; we mean it’s time to take a long hard look at your skin and the products you are applying every day!

You can make a difference to your skin every time you apply skin care, so make sure that what you are doing today is an investment in good skin today and great skin tomorrow too.

Typically the products you use daily will contain a cocktail of acids. Alpha lipoic, kojic, salicylic, tetracylic, glycolic, alpha hydroxy, beta hydroxyl, and lactic acid are just a few. We acknowledge that some acids are beneficial and have a place in a good skin care regime, but applying them up to twice a day, every day can seriously thin the skin over a period of time.  And when it comes to retaining moisture, your skin should be more like a sponge than a flannel.

Is there a solution? Applying Herzog’s oxygen creams afterwards will build, strengthen and thicken skin.

As we age, the vital energy and nutrients that stimulate collagen production and facilitate all other important processes within the skin, decline. Your natural oxygen level in the facial skin is falling from as early as age 16!  But by the time we reach 24, we’ve lost a whopping 30% of the energy (oxygen pressure) within the facial tissues. Various factors deplete it further: smoking, ill health and medication, alcohol, pollution, stress, UV damage, irregular sleep, can all play a part.

Only Karin Herzog is patented and proven to redress this decline. Our products are capable of delivering oxygen to all three layers of the skin – hyper-cleansing and energising to ensure the skin is thicker, with more elastin and collagen fibres being produced.

Collagen production is dependant upon oxygen as well as water and vitamins. Every application of our oxygen creams will activate and empower the skin for up to 8 hours, allowing the skin to benefit from increased collagen production and cell renewal. With regular use you are providing your skin with the basic raw materials necessary to build and thicken your skin.

Older skin, thinner skin will not be able to retain moisture and hydration. This is why the skin dries as it ages. It simply can not hold sufficient lipids and liquids – so is less plump and firm, which is when wrinkles set in! A thicker skin that has had its collagen levels regularly stimulated will be plumper and firmer will look much younger.
