Personal Skin Care With DNA Analysis

Chicago Spa Has Always Promoted Personal Skin Care

Skin Care Plus has always touted the importance of personal and natural skin care products. A company in London, however, uses a high-tech process, including DNA analysis, to prescribe skin care products that match your genetics, chemistry and skin care needs.

The skin care company is called GeneU. The London-based clinic adds a sample of your saliva to a small microchip. The test is complete in just 30 minutes. It analyzes two genes–one that regulates how fast your body degrades collagen and the other deciphers your predisposition to antioxidant protection and anti-aging.

Results are entered into a computer, which recommends two of the company’s 18 skin care serums that best fit your needs. The cost is about $940 (including the test and a two-week supply of skin care serum).

“For us it’s about giving people the right concentrations that their skin can metabolize,” said Christofer Toumazou, the company’s founder and a professor at Imperial College London. “We all know that science and technology have radically reshaped many aspects of our daily lives over the last 20 years. GENEU is at the forefront of the next wave of skin health. One that brings medical and technological expertise to everyone’s individual healthcare and beauty needs in radically new ways.”

Double-blind clinical trials over 18 months suggest that GeneU reduces fine lines and wrinkles by up to 30 percent in 12 weeks, Dr. Toumazou said. The results have not yet been published.

GeneU isn’t the only company offering skin care tailored to genetics. SkinShift in Austin, Tex., outsources its $99 DNA test, then suggests some combination drawn from an available pool of four serums and five nutritional supplements. None cost more than $75.

Skin Care Plus doesn’t make any judgements of these companies, but we do find it interesting that the theme of personal skin care continues to gain traction. We support that revolution completely. Be sure to tell your friends, family and co-workers that we offer free personal skin care analysis (by phone or in-person) as part of our personal and natural skin care consultation and treatment. We ship products to customers around the world. We also offer the best facial in the greater Chicago area, including Batavia, Geneva, St. Charles and Wheaton.

Demand For Natural, Organic Skin Care Products Rising

Skin Care Products With Harmful Chemicals Pushed Aside

The U.S. skin care industry should reach an estimated $12.2 billion by 2018. The major driver of growth in the skin care industry is the rising demand for natural and organic skin care products. Growing concern for health and safety, consumer awareness about synthetic chemicals, and rising green consciousness drove the demand for organic and natural skin care products. Another key driver of growth in the skin care industry is increased demand of anti-aging products.

Skin care manufacturers recognized that valuable opportunities exist in the skincare industry. Skincare product manufacturers are continuously adopting new strategies to gain market share and one of the opportunities for multifunctional skin care products remains high.

Market analysts predict that the biggest challenge for manufacturers is to provide good quality products at low-cost. Consumers have become price conscious, but they don’t want to compromise on quality. The study explains that consumers use skin care products for long-term application effect, safety concerns and even eco-friendliness. Consumers with high incomes are increasingly buying premium products, responding to the improving economy and skin care product innovations.

Skin Care Plus plus offers only natural and organic skin care products. We also offer the best facial in Chicago. We proudly serve the greater Chicago area, including Batavia, Geneva and St. Charles. We also offer tele-consulting and we can ship products to you anywhere in the world.

Natural Anti-Aging Secrets

Chicago Spa Offers Seven Tips For Healthier Skin

Sesame Seed Oil: Massage organic sesame oil all over your body. Working it into the skin gets your blood circulating. Plus, the oil hydrates your skin, giving it a healthy glow. Then take a shower and rinse away dead skin cells.

Fish Oil: Anti-inflammatories are the best anti-agers out there. From improving heart and immune functions to helping hair grow and skin look supple, they truly do wonders. I take three 500 milligram capsules of omega-3 fish oil in the morning and at night. Look for labels that say, ‘molecularly distilled for purity,’ which means pesticide-free.

Avoid White Sugar: The number-one ingredient that I avoid in my diet is processed sugar. The reason: It speeds up the aging process by binding to and eventually weakening the collagen in your skin, which can lead to premature wrinkles and sagging. Eat lots of vegetables and fruits every day.

Use White Sugar As An Exfoliant: Before you toss out that bag of white sugar, add it to your skin care arsenal. In the shower, lather your hands with a mild cleanser, add a handful of white sugar, and rub it all over your face and body. It makes your skin very smooth.

Treat Eyes With Extra Care: I treat the skin around my eyes separately. Face creams can be too irritating, but products made for this delicate area work wonders for smoothing fine lines.

Pamper Your Hands: Take care of your hands with the same routine used on your face. Exfoliate your hands and use a mask on them, too. Try an enzyme concentrate on your face and hands.

Give Your Skin Vitamins: Try an over-the-counter topical vitamin C cream with a 30 percent concentration. It’s a wonderful antioxidant that helps skin repair itself from sun damage. Another way to inject your skin with moisture and vitamin C is with bananas. Mash up a banana and apply it to your skin as a mask. Let it set just like a regular mask and wash it off after it drys.

Also, be sure to minimize your consumption of alcohol and tobacco. We also urge you to minimize your use of makeup. Although makeup might make you look happy and healthy, it can clog pores and inject toxins directly into your body.
