One On One Spa

Using the Sense Brochure:


I want to utalize time the best we can today. I'd like to just get started with the skin care and while we leave the mask on for a few minutes I will explain what sets Sense apart from products in the skin care market. First: How would you rate your skin: Oily, Combination, Dry, Normal? Skin Sensitivity? Is your skin sensitive, ultra sensitive or not at all?What skin charateristics would you change about your face? Blotchiness, uneven skin tones, dullness, fine lines and wrinkles and/or congested pores or Dehydration?


I ask these so I can explain as I go how to best help you and your condition.


Your skin is the largest organ of your body. It is the only one that is exposed both extrinsicly and intrisicly. For Intrinsic health you would want to be on a High Quality Dietary Supplement: USANA's Essentials; a Omega 3 and 6 oil capulse: USANA's BiOmega; A grape-seed extract for antioxidants: USANA's Proflavanol 90.




For Extrinisic health we start with:


Gentle Daily Cleanser: This is a soap free formula that washes away surface dirt and impurities without drying your skin. This is the first step in hydrating your skin. All products are designed to increase the overall health of your skin's cellular health and all work together to do so.


Rice Bran Polisher: To gently exfoliate dead surface cells frm teh skin for a glowing complexion. Have you used an exfoliant? Many use sand, seashells, walnut shells, shells from fruit nuts and others. These do help to exfoliate dead surface cells but can damage the healthy living cells underneath. This exfoliant uses natural occuring rice bran beadlets that sooths, smooths and cleanses the skin. It also hydrates your skin.



Nutritious Creme Masque: Removes impurities and leave skin feeling firm. This will not harden or dry out. We want to leave this on for 15-20 minutes for best results. This masque hydrates and nurishes the skin as it is the best opportunity to do so becouse of the extended time it is left on your face.

You want to exfoliate and use the masque 3 times a week.

While we leave that on your face for a few minutes I want to explain what is so unique about Sense.


Explain the following or watch the video.



First it is our patented Self Preserving Technology. This is found exclusively in USANA's Skin care line Sense's Beautiful Science. All the functional ingredients of a formula as well as the manufacturing and packaging are combined to become the preserving system.


The use of preservatives is required to prevent product damage caused by bacteria and to
protect the product from contamination by the consumer during use.

Parabens (PHBA), are used as preservatives in over 13,000 cosmetic formulations.
Concerns are being expressed by researchers that there is evidence of parabens acting as artificial estrogen disrupts normal hormone function. British researchers have found traces of parabens in tissue taken from women with breast cancer.

To test the preserving agent in skin care they have to follow a test lasting 28 days. The product is injected with mirco-organisms such as bacteria and mold and it has 28 days to reverse and kill those microbial organisms. Sense passed this test not once but twice in a row.

The preserving ingredients are not the only ingredients that may be harmful. One I would like to touch briefly on is Mineral Oil (petroleum, petrolatum), which is in many skin care products such as cleansing creams, moisturizers, eye creams, body lotions, foundations and others. Because it does not rinse off the skin readily ti can build up. It leaches vitamins A, D and E from the skin and can leave side effects such as black heads, white heads and tiny bumps just under the skin surface.



I would like you to watch this video explaining the Sense products. This is Dr. Regina Hamblin Dermatologist.







Hydrating Toner: Remove lingering mpurities, balance your skin's pH levels, and help soothe the effects of environmental exposures. Your skin is suppose to be at a balanced pH (7) and this is designed to restore your skin to that proper pH balance. This renews and refines your skin with a botanical treating complex. This also makes for a great aftershave for men.

Enhansers are the Perfecting Essence and the Serum Intensive. Today we will use the perfecting essence although I will explain both.

Perfecting Essence: will brighten and retexturize the skin's appearance, and leave it visibly radiant and smooth. Safe for Sensitive skin. This helsp with loss of radiance and blotchiness and has and anti aging formula that will help combat the formation of fine lines and wrinkles.


Serum Intensive: deminishes the look of fine lines and wrinkles while boosting skin firmness. Ideal for oily skin. Acts as a hydroxy. This is a powerfully nutritient rich product that for sensitive skin may take some working up to before being used as a daily routine.

Replenish:

Daytime Protective Emulsion: This moiturizer will hydrate will defending against the environement. This is designed to protect against UVB damage as well during the day.


Night Renewal Creme: Replenishes skin's moisture levels overnight while optimizing cellular recovery. Our skin cells come alive at night and replenish themselves. This is designed to aide in that process.


Eye Nourisher: Smooth away the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the delicate eye area while reducing the look of dark circles. Because your skin around your eyes is different than any where else it needs it's own formulation.

Body Lotion is a body moisturizer sweeping away dry skin and counteracts the effects of environmental exposure.

Intensive Hand Creme is for the dry prone areas such as your hands, elbows, knees and Cuticles. Your hands are under very strong drying agents as we wash them with cleansers. This will restore that moisture content with out strong fragrences.

USANA Foods


What Are USANA Foods?


Virtually all chronic degenerative diseases that plague today's world are caused or exacerbated by the deterioration of the modern diet. USANA Foods were developed to provide great-tasting, high-quality macronutrients your body needs to maintain health and feel great. These convenient, lowglycemic foods can be used along with the ESSENTIALS™ and OPTIMIZERS to complete your healthy diet. Many USANA Foods contain beneficial ingredients like dietary fiber, soy protein, and potassium - ingredients that may help prevent cancer, heart disease, and hypertension.*


To achieve and maintain a healthy body, your body's cells need specific nutrients (high-quality protein, varied fiber sources, low-glycemic carbohydrates, beneficial fats, vitamins, and minerals). When your body's cells lack these vital nutrients, they do not function properly.


At USANA, we understand that good nutrition includes both micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other compounds we consume in small amounts) and macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats that make up the bulk of our food). The primary goal of good nutrition is to promote lifelong good health. This state of well-being implies the optimal performance of all body systems.


THE RIGHT MACRONUTRIENTS It is vitally important that your diet include the right types of each class of macronutrient:


The right carbohydrates are either complex carbohydrates or fiber, and have a low-glycemic index. Complex carbohydrates and fiber generally supply additional healthy trace elements and phytonutrients, as well as energy.


A healthy diet includes a variety of protein sources including complete proteins, which contain all of the essential amino acids.


Beneficial fats are high in essential fatty acids and low in saturated fatty acids. No more than 10 percent of your total daily calories should be derived from saturated fat.


THE IMPORTANCE OF A LOW-FAT, HIGH-FIBER DIET Soluble fiber, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease. Low-fat diets rich in fiber-containing grain products, fruits, and vegetables may also reduce the risk of some types of cancer, a disease associated with many factors. Unfortunately, the normal diet in today's society includes only onehalf to two-thirds of the fiber necessary for optimal health.1 The positive impact of a highfiber diet is increased when there is a concurrent reduction in the amount of saturated fat consumed.2


GLYCEMIC INDEX: WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOU The glycemic index is a way of measuring the rate at which carbohydrates are broken down and appear in the blood as simple sugars. Those foods that result in a rapid rise in blood sugar have a high-glycemic index. Carbohydrates that are broken down slowly and cause only a moderate increase in blood sugar have a low-glycemic index. Some carbohydrates fall in between.


High-glycemic foods provide quick energy, but it is usually short lived and hunger soon returns. Low-glycemic foods provide greater satiety and sustained energy, which makes eating less and losing weight easier.


High-glycemic diets also have been linked to obesity, type II diabetes, insulin resistance, and heart disease. Virtually all convenience foods and many meal replacement and diet products on the market today are unfortunately, high glycemic.3


USANA Foods New USANA Foods are a healthy source of complex carbohydrates, complete proteins, and beneficial fats. SOYAMAX™, based on highquality soy protein, provides complete and balanced amino acids. And some USANA Foods, such as FIBERGY® and Iced Lemon FIBERGY BARS™, are low-fat, high-fiber foods. These delicious snack bars and drink mixes are formulated to be low glycemic to provide sustained energy throughout the day.


USANA Foods have been developed by USANA's team of scientists to help take the guesswork out of proper nutrition. These precision formulations not only provide the correct amounts of healthy carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, they also taste great and are convenient. More importantly, they will help you build a lasting foundation for true health for tomorrow.


Low-fat diets rich in dietary fiber may reduce the risk of some types of cancer, a disease associated with many factors. Diets low in saturated fat that include 25 grams of soy protein a day may reduce the risk of heart disease. Diets containing foods that are a good source of potassium and that are low in sodium may reduce the risk of high blood pressure and stroke.

Sense Beautiful Science. Ingredient and preserving technology.


Sense Beautiful Science

Perfect Balance through beautiful science®.Nourish your skin to defend it against elements that accelerate the visible signs of aging.
From a leader in cellular nutrition come Proflavanol-T™ and Proteo-C™, two advanced oxidative-defense complexes that are rich with vital nutrients to provide powerful beauty therapy for healthy skin and hair. When blended with select natural emollients and pure-plant extracts, these proprietary nutrient complexes amplify the overall effectiveness of every Sensé™ personal-care product.
An advanced beauty solution for our modern world.
How does Proflavanol-T and Proteo-C work?

It is estimated that up to 90 percent of the premature aging we see on our skin is caused by free-radical damage from the sun, stress, pollution, and other toxins in the environment. Proflavanol-T and Proteo-C are your best defense against the environmental factors that cause the appearance of premature lines and wrinkles.
Proflavanol-TThis breakthrough, topical-flavonoid complex provides optimal nutrition for hair and skin cells. Concentrated whole-grape extract, rice-derived gamma oryzanol, and green tea are powerful antioxidants that shield and protect skin from free radicals, while tocopherols moisturize, protect, and maintain the integrity of essential skin lipids.

Proteo-CThe crucial role that vitamin C plays in cell health and collagen synthesis has been known for decades. The extraordinary power of Proteo-C lies in its ability to impart the benefits of vitamin C in a stable form that can be applied directly to the skin. Water-soluble and lipid-soluble forms of vitamin C combine to counteract the appearance of lines and wrinkles caused by free radicals and help skin look younger and brighter. Proline and glycine act like "moisture magnets" to help diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
The intelligent way to care for your skin every day is with Sensé's proprietary topical complexes--the right nutrients for perfectly balanced, younger-looking skin.

USANA's exclusive anti-aging complex, Dermal Surface Renewal (DSR) technology, can help you turn back the clock. Now more powerful than ever, DSR works in two ways--to help reduce the appearance of existing signs of aging today and to help prevent the appearance of new lines and wrinkles in the future.

There's no need for injections, chemical peels, or cosmetic surgery. Now you can see dramatic results without taking drastic measures. DSR is an incredibly effective anti-aging technology, and only Sensé has it.

How DSR technology works:
As the skin ages, lines and wrinkles begin to form as the natural cell-renewal process slows down. The skin starts to thin and sag as collagen and elastin break down, and the skin tone can become uneven and blotchy. DSR is an extraordinary, acid-free formulation that can visibly refine the complexion, leaving your skin looking healthy, youthful, and beautiful.
Reduce Past Signs of Aging

The appearance of lines and wrinkles is reduced. Marine-source ingredients work quickly to penetrate deep into the skin, plumping lines and wrinkles, and making skin look years younger.
Skin looks and feels smoother and firmer. DSR blended with other natural ingredients helps boost the skin's firmness and elasticity. It is clinically proven to increase firmness from deep within the skin.

Skin is rejuvenated. Unique complex energizes the skin to keep it looking smooth, hydrated, and supple.

Complexion is bright and even. The acid-free formulation does not irritate the skin, keeping it soothed and calm, while skin brighteners counteract hyper-pigmentation, blotchiness, and mottled texture for a healthy, vital appearance.
The future of your skin is transformed with a unique scientific discovery—MMP inhibitors.

Reduce Future Signs of AgingThe skin contains natural enzymes, or MMPs, that break down the extracellular matrix--proteins that keep skin looking youthful--leading to lines and wrinkles. These MMPs become more active as the skin ages. DSR contains MMP inhibitors that reduce the activity of these enzymes to help slow the appearance of premature aging.



Peace of Mind through beautiful science®.Never put harsh chemical preservatives on your skin again.

Inspired by Dr. Myron Wentz' dedication to living a toxin-free lifestyle, Sensé scientists worked to find an alternative to parabens and other traditional chemical preservatives used in personal-care products. After nearly ten years of research, they found the answer in a unique, U.S. patented formulation that keeps every Sensé product fresh without the need for added harsh chemical preservatives.

Self-preserving technology has people talking. It will revolutionize the world of personal-care products.

How does self-preserving technology work?

Multiple hurdles significantly limit or even eliminate microbial activity and subsequent spoiling. With self-preserving technology, the product is the preservative. The six pillars of self-preserving technology--water and pH control, dual-use of ingredients, U.S. patented liquid crystal technology, and scrupulous packaging and manufacturing--are combined to become the preservative system.
  • Water availability. The amount of water in each product is bound tightly in the formula to limit availability to microorganisms.
  • pH control. The pH of each formula has been carefully adjusted to remain effective for the skin, while also prohibiting microorganisms from growing.
  • Dual-purpose use of ingredients. All of the functional ingredients of a formula combine to become part of the preservative system. No ingredients are added exclusively to preserve the product.
  • Liquid crystal technology. Unique blends of botanical extracts, plant-derived lipids, and amino-acid derivatives form "packets" that deliver ingredients to the hair and skin while also preserving the product.
  • Manufacturing. Products are manufactured in a stringently controlled clean room to ensure the safety, integrity, and purity of every Sensé product.
  • Packaging. All packages are sealed to avoid contamination by consumers after purchase.
Sensé is the ONLY line of personal-care products we have found that is manufactured without adding chemical preservatives and is still truly safe.

Many companies claim to have products that are free from parabens. However, many of those products contain other formaldehyde-producing chemicals, such as Quarternium 15; 2-bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol; Diazolidinyl urea; DMDM Hydantoin; or Sodium Hydroxyglycinate. These chemicals are effective in killing anything that comes in to contact with them, so imagine what they could be doing to your skin.

Other companies claim they do not have preservatives and use minimally effective natural alternatives or simply leave their products vulnerable to contamination. These products often have a maximum shelf life of only six months and sometimes must even be kept refrigerated.
Each formula of Sensé's U.S. patented, self-preserving technology has passed two rounds of vigorous "challenge testing" to ensure purity for a full two years--an unprecedented achievement in the skin-care industry.

For people who are committed to total body health, Sensé's self-preserving technology is the only choice that provides complete peace of mind. Discover the difference for yourself today.
