Bioelements: Defining your Skin's Biotype

Bioelements has created an easy way to find the right products for your skin. It's called the Biotype System. This system is based on your skin's oil production. Once you know your Biotype, you can look on the back of any Bioelements skin care product to see if it's right for your complexion. By defining the skin tones' variations, the individually designed products can target the challenged areas.

With a few drops of the Custom Blended Ingredients, the Bioelements product you take home from the spa is created for you alone: your environment, your lifestyle, your age, your stress level. Your skin care professional can custom blend skin care products, botanicals and aroma therapist oils to fight aging, clear blemishes, and to precisely target the exact skin's needs.

To determine your Biotype, review the texture of your skin. In determining your type, the following definitions are helpful:

• Does your entire face get oily shortly after cleansing, and does your skin frequently break out
• Does your t-zone get moderate oil several hours after cleansing, and do you have occasional breakouts
• Does your t-zone get oily late in the day, and your cheeks feel slightly dry
• Do you have minimal t-zone oil, cheeks are dry, and your skin sometimes feels tight
• Do you rarely experience any t-zone oil, and your skin always feels tight and dry

Bioelements has a complete line of excellent skin care products to meet every need successfully. The following products are an example of what and how they work and why they are popular. A sampling of the products include the Overnight SLEEPWEAR, and the EYE AREA products.

The Overnight SLEEPWEAR rejuvenation creme infuses the complexion with a never-before-used scientific complex of topical calcium, a time-released retinol, cranberry seed oil and protein peptides. This combination rebuilds firming collagen and elastin, replenishes antioxidants, improves moisture retention and strengthens the skin's protective barrier layer. No artificial colorants, synthetic fragrance or animal by-products are used.

When using the nutrient-rich night creme, a "friction-activated" process needs to be done prior to application. Before applying to the face, scoop a small amount into the palm of the hand and gently "slap" 30 times in the palm to release the active ingredients. Then, immediately apply onto clean, dry skin. How it works:

• The active ingredients of topical calcium strengthens epidermal cell cohesion and inhibits the release of MMPs that damage collagen and elastin
• The Cranberry Oil is a "super vitamin E" and a potent source of antioxidants
• The Retinol, vitamin A is in its purest and most active form, and works to smooth out lines and wrinkles
• The Protein Peptides stimulate the synthesis of collagen by more than 300%

The eye products are nourishing and protective for that sensitive area. In keeping with that, the EYE AREA Exfoliating eye creme peels away dead surface flakes. The product contains Alphablend multi-fruit acid mixture. This combats dry lines and diminishes tiny wrinkles around the eyes. No artificial colorants, synthetic fragrance or animal by-products are used. The process is to apply a thin coat around the eye area, day and night. An additional moisturizer or may be layered over Eye Area if needed.
