***About Germanium: 
Germanium is a rare natural material known for its healing abilities. Germanium has a natural ability to release negative electrons to help re-balance and increase levels of body’s energy. Strong antioxidant properties, allows Germanium to destroy harmful free radicals. At the same time it helps to stimulate enzymes, promotes cell metabolism, and protects skin against damaging UV light. The device is made of oxidized titanium, which adds anti-oxidant properties and increases the production of new collagen. This allows the massager to stimulate skin cells, improve skin metabolism, even out the skin tone, lift and firm the skin, increase elasticity, and reduce fat deposits.

Understanding your own "Brow Potential"


So many women get accustomed to seeing their eyebrows in their current, anemic state that they forget just how beautiful their brows can actually be. Furthermore, many believe that their hair simply won't grow back in certain areas (whether from years of over plucking/waxing, having them repeatedly misshaped, hormonal fluctuations, or the normal aging process), so they tend to shape their brows (or have them shaped) according to what they "already have", instead of what they "could have" if they were to allow them the necessary time for them to grow.
***full regrowth can take up to 12-18 months!



How does our Brow Restoration technique differ from traditional methods of waxing and tweezing?

We have received specialized training from esteemed brow specialists and educators from all over the world. We utilize our indepth understanding of hair growth patterns, brow anatomy and architecture along with advanced design techniques in order to restore brows to their fullest potential over time.

This technique elongates the brow and creates a naturally beautiful look that softens the eyes and face, detracting from dark circles and age lines. The softer and fuller the brows, the more youthful the face appears!



Ready for your own Brow Transformation?

In order to achieve the fullest, most natural shape, we encourage clients to completely refrain from any form of hair removal for at least 2-4 weeks prior their first appointment to allow the natural shape to begin to take place.

The first appointment includes a thorough assessment, consultation, and full initial design. (The duration between maintenance appointments will also be discussed and outlined upon completion of the initial design.)

Call (805) 380-7737 or email ibarbeauty@gmail.com for more information or to schedule an appointment!


With patience and self-restraint, you simply will not believe how professionally restored brows can transform your face!!!

Body Firming Essentials



Understanding the Basics: 

COLLAGEN AND ELASTIN BREAK DOWN

Although our skin has a remarkable ability to renew itself, it is influenced by the detrimental effects of ultraviolet light, smoking, pollutants in food, water and air and free radicals from inflammation. Genetics also certainly plays a role. As we age, collagen production slows, and collagen begins to break down. The free radicals damage collagen and elastin at a pace which exceeds our body’s ability to repair itself. The structure starts to weaken, gaps form, the skin loses its elasticity, becomes less resilient, and wrinkles begin to form. As wrinkling occurs, the skin becomes unable to hold onto precious moisture.

SLOWING DOWN THE BREAKDOWN

In order to slow down aging, one strategy includes introducing products that contain free radical scavengers. Free radicals are highly reactive and unstable molecules that can cause serious cellular damage. Reducing fat, sugar and salt intake, avoiding smoking, doing regular exercise and eating foods rich in antioxidants should help reduce the damage these free radicals will cause. For those who don’t eat a well balanced diet, supplements are highly recommended.

SKIN CARE INTERVENTION 

To get the best results with your skin, it's best to use professional skincare products. Vitamins A, C and E are naturally occurring antioxidants (found in DNA Skin's Supernatural Vitamin A SerumLift & Firm Botanical Gel, Zen Therapy Treatment Gel, and Mediclear Vitamin C Crystals and are valuable weapons against premature aging. Vitamins C & E work beautifully together to stop hydroxyl radicals from attacking DNA and are considered essential in any anti-aging program. Our form of stabilized Vitamin C (as seen in the Mediclear Vitamin C Crystals)  delivers C to the lower layers of the skin, where it needs it the most. Vitamin C is essential for the formation of hydroxyproline which protects from the breakdown of collagen.


STIMULATING COLLAGEN AND ELASTIN

Stimulating collagen production is just as important as eliminating free radicals. Aging skin shifts the balance between production and breakdown of collagen, and this leads to wrinkles. Stimulating cells to produce collagen can partly reverse this process as it improves the skin texture. Stimulating collagen synthesis can be achieved though processes such as derma-rolling- a process considered to be an effective way to stimulate collagen. This slight irritation to the skin via cross stimulation, is enough to trigger the skin’s own natural healing process, which ultimately creates a surplus production of collagen. On a daily note, home exfoliation is another way to stimulate this process through the use of gentle scrubs, AHA’s and enzyme peels.

Call (805) 380-7737 to place an order or email ibarbeauty@gmail.com for more information 

Other Important Body Firming/Skin Toning Tips: 

1. Drink lots of water! This one is a no-brainier! (Proper hydration is key to your body's own ability to fight free radical activity and to sustain optimal cellular regeneration.) 

2. Exercise. "Move it, or lose it". Recent studies deem walking, alone, to be the best "be all, end all" form of exercise for women in general. Not only does it support overall "heart health" for women ages 25-75, but clinical studies have also proven it a more  sustainable form of weight loss (over running or swimming)  for women within that age group. 

3. Schedule a monthly or bi-monthly, full-body Massage. Manual manipulation of skin, tissue, and muscle helps to reinforce the connectivity integrity between collagen and elastin. Getting regular massages helps the body to regulate its own fibroblast production- helping to dispel stagnant and promote new cell regeneration.

Coconut Oil for Healthy Skin

One of DNA Health Institute's latest additions, Island Infusion Body Nectar, is a full body product brimming with beneficial properties. This unique Tropical body Nectar contains a rich blend of emollients and soothing ingredients. The exclusive combination of organic plant extracts, botanical oils, fruit lipids and natural vitamins penetrate the skin leaving it soft, hydrated and protected. One of the key ingredients in Island Infusion Body Nectar is coconut oil.



Coconut oil has proven to be more than just a "trending topic" - instead, it has continued to garner more and more praise within the beauty industry, often touted as the latest all natural  “miracle product.” It is known to provide a myriad of health benefits, both by means of ingestion, and as a topical treatment. When applied topically, it is especially beneficial to the appearance of skin. Studies have shown that individuals with dry skin benefit from the topical use of coconut oil because it improves the skin’s moisture and lipid content.

By now, most of us know that popular beauty products contain harmful ingredients that are drying and carcinogenic. These harmful ingredients include petroleum, which suffocates the skin, and alcohol, which is over drying. Using coconut oil as part of a skincare regime is an effective and safe way to lessen your exposure to these, and other toxins, without having to sacrifice any benefits of a beauty routine.

How to Make your Own

If you run out and are not currently using our Body Nectar, below is a list of how to use coconut oil for the skin:

  • Warm the oil either in the jar in warm water, or in the palm of your hands.
  • Use a small amount of the oil to allow it to fully absorb into the skin.
  • Add essential oils to the coconut oil as desired.
  • Coconut oil is also great for exfoliation. Using it by itself naturally helps to clear away dead skin cells but it can also be combined with other exfoliation agents such as sugar.

When used regularly, coconut oil can help restore moisture to the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. And remember, it can also be used as a supplement as a way to nourish the skin from the inside out.

Groundbreaking, Anti-aging Skin Care

What makes DNA Skin Institute's products truly revolutionary and sets them apart from the rest of today's other leading skin care brands is the sheer scarcity of knowledge throughout the industry, as a whole, about how the fundamental science behind its unique and unparalleled delivery systems actually works.

> "The biotech science and ionic chemistry DNA uses to insure maximum results is known to less than 8 scientists and biochemists across the globe."

I’ve been in the entertainment industry for 30 years. I’ve lived out my entire adult life in front of cameras, under a microscope, laid out for the whole world to see. But I never let that suppress my life expression. I spend a lot of time in the water surfing or paddling with my friends and family and in the sun biking and hiking with my kids.  You can imagine every step of this journey has had me on the hunt for the best skin care available.  Finally, After having been exposed to countless gimmicks and products I’ve found what I need, a skin care system that’s powerfully effective yet noninvasive and kind to, in fact supportive of both my overall health and the health of the planet.: DNA Skin Care from DNA Health Institute.


DNA Skin Care System is everything we know we want: it’s powerful and effective.  It’s 100% natural and chemical and preservative free. But it’s also all the things we didn’t know we could have: DNA skin care is formulated using technology that is virtually unrivaled In the world for it’s ability to transform, rejuvenate and enhance the face and body. The biotech science and ionic chemistry they use to insure maximum results is known to less than 8 scientists and biochemists across the globe.


That means we’re getting the best ingredients in the most powerful combination through the most effective delivery system in the world.
But what I love most about DNA is the whole body wellness approach. At DNA Health Institute they know that my skin on this face is actually an organ which is part of an amazing system called my body, ME! Everything I put on my skin winds up in my system and either adds to the quality, function and longevity of my life or diminishes it. 


At 50, I have come to a much greater wisdom of what personal beauty really is, how best to identify it, honor it, and sustain it. Beauty breathes. It isn’t stagnant. It isn’t something we attain and keep. Beauty is alive and forever evolving. It’s up to us to keep it vibrant so we can be the most beautiful we can be and on a deeper level, the most beautiful we have ever been.


I am so blessed to have found the amazing DNA skin care system.  And I’m absolutely honored to be spreading the word!

About DNA CryoStem Skin Therapy
 
The DNA CryoStem Skin Therapy system is a revolutionary breakthrough in skin science.
