The Power of NaPCa!

Have you ever wondered why you are supposed to use NaPCa with your anti-aging facials?   This amazing product brings 3 molecules of moisture for every molecule of NaPCa on your skin.  What is the biggest problem with aging skin?  Dryness!  I love this magic mist. It comes in especially handy when I travel because traveling robs your hair and skin of moisture.  So I mist everything;my face after I wash and tone - before my serum and moisturizer, my body before applying body lotion and to my hair and clothes to get rid of static.

Here was a little test to see if how well the NaPCa Moisture Mist holds the moisture compared to general water or oils.

First we sprayed the little mirror (on top) with a water spray bottle. The square mirror with the NaPCa Moisture Mist. Then we waited about 20 minutes.

 

First of all, this was a reminder of how hard it is to take pictures of mirrors. Ha! However, as you can see the mirror on the left still holds moisture while the water sprayed mirror now only has dried water spots.   

This demonstrates how humectants ( a substance used primarily to help retain moisture) such as NaPCa hold on to water in the formula, keeping it from evaporating. In this same way, these humectants bind to water present in the formula and hold it to your skin, so the water cannot dry and dissipate into the air. 

Here is the result of a second test on two different humectnats: the NaPCa and Mineral Oil. We placed a dried apricot in each of these jars. The one on the left was covered in NaPCa while the right jar was covered with Mineral Oil (also called Baby Oil). After a day's time the NaPCa Moisture Mist (which also includes  Hyaluronic Acid) has absorbed into the cellular structure and plumped the fruit to its original shape. Mineral Oil (which is found in many cosmetic products) does nothing to plump up the wrinkles in your face or the dried apricot.

Tip:
Adequate moisturization is very important in skin care because it helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles on the skin surface. NaPCa is a key humectant that is more effective than mineral oil-based products or water alone in establishing the safeguarding healthy moisture levels in your skin.

How To Choose the Right Anti-Aging Products For You

I have always been concerned about preserving my youthful appearance.  As a matter of fact, I began using the best cosmetics I could buy when I was in college.  It helped that I worked at the cosmetics counter of a boutique pharmacy and received the old “testers” when the cosmetic company replaced them with newer, more glamorous products.  Even at 18 years old, I knew the value of a good skin care product.

I haven’t changed a bit over the years and continue to aggressively fight the signs of aging with anti-aging skin care products.  Don’t be fooled by a big price tag…you are NOT necessarily getting more for your money by paying more for an anti-aging product.  I know, I’ve tried many products from cheap to expensive and I have actually found an entire product line that covers the spectrum of prices with the most expensive not being near what some cosmetic companies charge.

Why am I saying this? Because when it comes to “beauty” or “anti-aging” products, how do you know what will work and what is just plain lying? It is ALWAYS a good idea to find product reviews online. Be sure to read both the good and bad reviews in order to gain the “why” something did or didn’t work for that person. And remember something that you love simply won’t work for others. So here are a few sites I like to check for beauty product reviews.

      1.      TotalBeauty.com – (talking about Future Serum) “I have been using this serum for a year and have definitely AGE-LOCed my skin! I just turned 60 and people are amazed that I don't look any bit that number. I love what this product does for my skin and will continue to use it twice a day FOREVER! I only have one face....I want the best product to keep the look of YOUNG skin.”   

      2.      Amazon.com – (talking about Galvanic Spa) “Love it, but it takes time.
I have been using the galvanic spa and gels for over a year, my skin has had a dramatic improvement. This is a product that will help your skin get better and better over time. You're not going to see dramatic results in a week, have patience it's worth it!!”

      3.      The Individual Blog! I trust people that can prove to me that the product worked for them and how they made it work. Type in an exact product and see what you find!
