COMMON SKIN CONDITIONS

An Overview of the Skin: Skin Physiology
Most of us are born with a beautiful complexion – we’re
soft, smooth and completely untouched by the world
around us. As we set forth into the “real world” to pursue
our dreams, the environment, the stress and sleepless
nights all conspire to create lines of concern on our faces.
Our skin texture shows the damage caused by the wind,
sun and pollution. We also have to consider the impact of
diet and the foods we eat. And finally, there is aging.
It is also important to realize that professional skin care
is not vanity, it is simple good health – the continual
practice of preventative medicine. It is not difficult, but
you do have to properly care for your skin each day
in order to maintain clean, radiant skin with a smooth
texture.
Keep in mind that there are two types of people who
will seek your help: first, those with beautiful skin who
want to maintain it or look even better. And second,
those who have abused their skin far beyond the point
where conventional products can be used to repair their
damage.
Both come to you and your staff for the best professional
care available. Each needs your help and guidance on a
continuing basis in order to take advantage of the most
current scientific advances in skin care.
The Skin and Its Function
Skin is the largest living organ of your body covering
almost 21.5 square feet of surface area and contains
millions of cells that are constantly being renewed. The
skin also contains blood and lymphatic vessels, nerves,
water, fatty tissue, and oil and sweat glands.
Skin is very complex and must be nourished, cleansed and
treated on a daily basis if it is to stay healthy.
Nothing can stop the hands of time or inherited skin
conditions. Through medical treatment and proper
maintenance, however, you can slow down the
aging process. You can reduce the evidence of both
hyperpigmentation and sun damage, and through the
mutual efforts of both you and your patients, set a goal of
achieving the healthiest skin possible.
The natural exfoliation process in healthy skin ranges from
20 – 28 days when our bodies naturally shed the skin. As
we age, this process slows and sheds unevenly. At the
same time, there is collagen and elastin depletion from all
these aging forces.

Structure of the Skin
The skin consists of three main layers, the epidermis, the dermis and the
subcutaneous layer.
The epidermis has four definable layers: the basal layer, the spiny layer, the
granular layer and the horney layer, also known as the stratum corneum.
The epidermis is the outside surface layer that protects everything
underneath it. Because it is the outermost layer, the epidermis exhibits all of
the skin’s problems. 90 percent of the cells in the skin are in the epidermis.
The basal layer is the lowest layer of the epidermis. In the basal layer are the
basal cells and the melanocytes. This is the layer where new cells are born.
These plump new cells reproduce or divide rapidly and gradually rise to the
surface of the skin. It is the function of the cells of this layer to continually
renew the skin’s vitality. Scattered throughout the basal layer of the epidermis are
cells called melanocytes, which produce the pigment melanin, one of the main
contributors to skin color.
The dermis provides structural support and nutrition for the skin and lies below the
epidermis. It is comprised of oil and sweat glands, nerve endings, hair follicles and
an intricate network of blood vessels. All of these are held together by collagen and
elastin. The dermis plays a vital role in the skin’s natural internal cleansing system. The
secretion of the sweat glands (fluid) and oil glands (lubricating oils) naturally nourish
and keep the skin soft and pliable.
Below the dermis is subcutaneous (fatty) tissue. This layer acts as a cushion to protect
the nerves, glands, and blood vessels of the dermis.
There are four major skin cell types; keratinocyte, melanocyte, Langerhan’s cells and
fibroblast.
Skin Types and Common Conditions
Acneic Skin: Acne affects people regardless of age, gender, or race. Factors that
affect acne production include heredity, oily skin and bacteria. Acne skin is usually
oily and distinguished by blackheads and pimples. If neglected and uncared for these
blemishes can advance to a worsened stage and leave behind scarred and pitted skin.
Combination Skin: This skin type has an oily T-zone across the forehead, nose and
chin, but a normal to dry area around the cheeks and throat. Another combination
pattern is oily along the chin, jaw line and at the temples, but normal to dry skin
elsewhere on the face.
Dry Skin (Xerosis): Dry skin, also called Xerosis, is a common problem. Due to sun
exposure and aging, skin can lose its ability to produce moisture and natural oils. This
7
1
section
results in dry skin. Though it may look smooth with fine pores and few blackheads
or blemishes, it may also have a tight, leathery appearance. Skin needs moisture to
stay smooth and supple, and retaining moisture becomes difficult with age.
Hyperpigmentation: The darkening of patches of skin or nails due to ramped-up
melanin production, resulting in blotchy looking skin, “raccoon” under-eye circles,
and uneven skin tone.
Keratosis Pilaris: A common skin condition in which a protein in the skin called
keratin forms hard plugs within hair follicles and causes rough patches and small,
acne-like bumps, usually on the arms, thighs and buttocks. Keratosis pilaris bumps
are usually white, sometimes red, and generally don’t hurt or itch.
Mature Skin: Loose creepy appearance and lines distinguish this skin type
which develops due to biological changes, the aging processes and a slow-down
of cell growth. Cells don’t regenerate quickly and skin loses its elasticity. Symptoms
include lines appearing due to ongoing positional habits, such as sleep lines,
consistent facial movements, or muscle changes from the effects of gravity.
Oily Skin: Oily skin is often shiny and coarse in texture and may have recurring
blackheads and enlarged pores. It may also have patches of flakiness around the
nose where excess oils have dried.
Photo-damaged Skin: Occurs from extended exposure to sunlight. Most
commonly affects skin on the face, arms and legs that is left uncovered. Can
manifest itself in sun/liver spots, pebbly skin, irregular pigmentation, and in some
cases, cancer.
Rosacea: A chronic skin disease that affects the middle third of the face with
persistent redness over the areas of the face that normally blush and the nose:
mainly the forehead, the chin and the lower half of the nose. The tiny blood
vessels in these areas enlarge (dilate) and become more visible through the skin,
appearing like tiny red lines (called telangiectasias). Pimples can occur that look
like acne. Unlike acne, rosacea is not primarily a plague of teenagers. It occurs
most often in adults (ages 30 to 50), especially those with fair skin, and affects
both sexes but tends to be more common in women but worse in men. Rosacea
rarely reverses itself. It lasts for years and, untreated, it worsens. Untreated rosacea
can cause a condition called rhinophyma (ryno-fee-ma), literally growth of the
nose, characterized by a bulbous, enlarged red nose and puffy cheeks (like the old
comedian W.C. Fields). There may also be thick bumps on the lower half of the nose
and the nearby cheek areas. Rhinophyma occurs mainly in men.
Sensitive skin: Broken capillaries and vessels beneath the surface of the skin
distinguish this skin type. Sensitive skin should not be over stimulated because it is
extremely delicate and reactive to any type of physical or chemical stimulation.

Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate: Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate is a stable, oil-soluble form of Vitamin
C, used in cosmetics, personal care products and anti-aging products because of its ability to
increase collagen levels, reduce melanin production, brighten skin, and repair the effects of UV
exposure and other environmental damage. It is also considered to be more potent than L-asorbic
acid and other Vitamin C compounds, and has a higher rate of penetration (because it is lipid
soluble, like human skin) than other derivatives; it also has a higher rate of conversion to vitamin C
within the dermis.
Jojoba oil: Jojoba: a wax ester derived from a desert shrub type plant. It is similar in chemical
structure to components of human sebum. It penetrates rapidly, while leaving an emolliency on
skin.
Camellia Sinensis (Green tea extract): a very potent antioxidant that helps to support skin structures and
repair skin cells

age-related skin problems by stimulating collagen production.
Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-3: a peptide that has been proven to improve skin elasticity and firmness. Ti also hydrates, smoothes, and protects the skin. An
additional anti-inflammatory activity is attributed to its ability to control the secretion of specific chemicals responsible for skin aging (i.e. cytokines
and specifically interleukin-6), and hence it may function in a manner similar to the anti-aging hormone, DHEA.
Arnica Montana Flower Extract: botanical with antiseptic, astringent, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory properties. Promotes the removal of wastes from the

4. MegaPeel Microdermabrasion Procedure.
Make certain the skin is thoroughly dry prior to
treatment. Use moderate setting. When conducting a
MegaPeel microdermabrasion treatment it is advised to
make two (2) passes over the skin. The first pass should
treat the entire face vertically and the second pass
should treat the face horizontally. It is very important
to pull the skin taut in the area being treated. The skin
should be pulled in the same direction the hand piece is
moving. Slowly glide the hand piece over the skin back
and forth over the area. After treatment is complete,
dust skin free of any particles.
5. IPL Photo Sensitizing Prep
Saturate a tightly woven 3 x 3 gauze pad with IPL Photo
Sensitizing Prep and apply to face, using light pressure.
Allow to remain on skin for about eight to ten (8-10)
minutes. (Do not remove)

Place IPL Eye Protection Patches on patient. Triangular
folded gauze or photo protective goggles may be
placed over the IPL Eye Protection Patches..
7. Cool
Cool the area to be treated with an ice pack for 3 to10
seconds immediately prior to firing the hand piece on
the skin. Test IPL System settings (see recommendation
for skin type and indication). Wait two (2) minutes for
erythema or darkening of pigmented areas
8. IPL Treatment
Work in sections, starting with one side of face from
mandible to orbital, moving to medial areas (this will
generally all be the same setting). Follow with medial
section of face including oral and nose sections. Move
to the other side of face. Finish with forehead, before
moving to neck. Reapply ice pack as needed when
moving from one area to the next. Test patch each area
for appropriate settings.**
** Forehead section may be 1 or 2 settings less than face, especially if
visible pigmentation.
** Neck and chest may be 1 or 2 settings less than face.

Battling Backne Protocol
Acne on the back, or “backne” is a common and often
embarrassing condition for your clients. The skin on
the back is much thicker, and has more oil glands than
the skin on the face therefore presenting more cases of
patients with active acne on the back. DermaMed’s new
microdermabrasion protocol is specifically designed
to remove blackheads and clogged pores, which are
common complaints of those who suffer from this
condition. This protocol utilizes mechanical and topical
interventions to manage backne for long-term results.

Smoothing Stretch Marks Protocol
DermaMed’s microdermabrasion stretch mark protocol
can treat stretch marks, which are long scars buried
deep within the skin. Microdermabrasion works the
same way for stretch marks as it does for facials. Skin
care professionals may increase the power on the
microdermabrasion system to treat more severe stretch
marks. This allows deeper penetration of the epidermis,
and new, healthy cells to grow in place of the scarred skin
tissue. Your clients will see them fade and become lighter.

Softening Scars Treatment Protocol
Microdermabrasion is an excellent tool for reducing the
size and smoothing the texture of post surgical scars.
The treatment protocol includes both scar reduction
and also stimulation of the surrounding tissue to
enhance collagen production to restore flat, smooth skin.
Microdermabrasion for acne scars is one of the most
effective acne scars removal treatments.
Microdermabrasion can be performed to a post-operative or
post-trauma scar after the healing process, usually around
8 weeks afterwards. Redness is not contraindicated but
petechiae should be avoided when working with new scars.
After a scar is at least 1 year old, petechiae is the desired
endpoint.

Glossary of Skin Care Terms
Acneic Skin: acne skin is usually oily and distinguished by
blackheads and pimples. If neglected and uncared for
these blemishes can advance to a worsened stage and
leave behind scarred and pitted skin. Acne affects people
regardless of age, gender, or race. Factors that affect acne
production include heredity, oily skin and bacteria.
Algae Extract: an antioxidant that provides assistance in
cell renewal and metabolic stimulation. It contains antiinflammatory capabilities and skin restructuring proteins for
softening and moisturizing the skin. People who are allergic
to shellfish should avoid application of this ingredient.
Albumin: the dried whites of eggs. It creates a film, thereby
acting as a moisture-retention agent allowing the skin
to build up a supply of water. This moisturization process
tightens and softens the skin only temporarily as the skin
cannot utilize the protein contained in an egg.
Alcohol Denat: widely used in the cosmetic industry as an
antiseptic as well as a solvent given its strong greasedissolving abilities. It is manufactured by means of the
fermentation of starch, sugar, and other carbohydrates.
Allantoin: a botanical extract from the comfrey plant root said
to be healing, calming, and soothing. It can help protect
skin from harmful external factors (e.g., wind burn). It is an
excellent temporary anti-irritant and is believed to aid in the
healing of damaged skin by stimulating new tissue growth.
Non-allergenic.
Aloe Vera Gel: an emollient and film-forming gum resin with
hydrating, healing, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory
properties. Its moisturizing ability is its most widely
recognized characteristic. Although aloe vera’s important
constituents are minerals, polysaccharides, amino acids,
and carbohydrates, it is constituted of about 99.5 percent
water. Specifically formulated and purified aloe vera is less
sensitizing than raw gel.
Alpha-Arbutin: a pure, water soluble, biosynthetic active
ingredient. Alpha-Arbutin blocks epidermal melanin
synthesis by inhibiting enzymatic oxidation of Tyrosine
and Dopa. Arbutin appears to have fewer side effects than
hydroquinone at similar concentrations - presumably due to
the more gradual release. It is the more effective, faster and
safer approach to promoting skin-brightening and an even
skin tone on all skin types. Alpha-Arbutin also minimizes liver
spots and meets all the requirements of a modern skinbrightening and skin depigmentation product.
Alpha-Hydroxy Acids (AHA’S): non-toxic substances found in
certain food products including grapes, citrus fruits, apples,
sugar cane and sour milk. AHA’S affect the epidermis and
dermis, causing cells to shed more quickly and certain
skin layers to thicken. Glycolic acid, lactic acid, malic acid,
mandelic acid and tartaric acid are just some of the AHA’s
available.
Ammonium Hydroxide: used in cosmetic preparations as an alkali
to neutralize excessive acidity in a formulation.
Arbutin: bearberry extract, a naturally occurring form
of hydroquinone that can inhibit melanin synthesis by
inhibiting tyrosinase activity. Arbutin also lightens existing
pigment.
Argan: an emollient and skin conditioning oil that protects
and moisturizes the skin. Its constituents include tocopherol,
phenolic acid, carotenes, and essential fatty acids. It is
obtained from the nut of the argan tree.
Arnica Extract: (arnica Montana) botanical with antiseptic,
astringent, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory properties.
Promotes the removal of wastes from the skin and aids in
new tissue growth

Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C): as a skincare ingredient, has skin
lightening and antioxidant properties; protects against free
radical formation.
Azelaic Acid: is a naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid that
inhibits tyrosinase activity during its use. It has exfoliating
and disinfecting properties and works best when used with
AHA’s.
Behenyl Alcohol: a binder and an emulsion stabilizer. Used also
to increase a formulation’s viscosity. This is a mixture of fatty
alcohols.
Benzyl Alcohol: a preservative against bacteria, used in
concentrations of 1.0 to 3.0 percent.
Benzyl PCA: a compound of benzyl alcohol and pyrrolidone
carboxylic acid, a moisturizing active ingredient. considered
a ‘green’, safe preservative system.
Bergamot Fruit Oil: considered an antiseptic and bacterial
growth inhibitor. It is also considered good for oily and
acne skin, and for seborrheic conditions. Sun exposure
after applying pure bergamot oil, or a compound with a
high bergamot oil concentration to the skin, may cause
hyperpigmentation and a skin rash.
Beta-Fructan: enhances synthesis of cell-wall components;
promotes water uptake in cells.
Beta-Glucosamine: similar in structure to cellulose, in humans
it is used in combination with beta fructan to build stable
mucopolysaccharides in the tissue. It is an anti-inflammatory
agent and a building block to collagen and elastin. The
D-beta isomer is the only isomer that the human body can
utilize for this function. reported to enhance the skins natural
defense mechanism, which minimizes with age. It promotes
cellular activity, protects from infection and invasion from
free radicals and has healing properties.
Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) also known as salycilic acid. Aids exfoliation by
weakening the links between cells in the outer layer of dead skin, allowing the
normal shedding process to occur at a more optimum rate. By helping new cells
surface, it improves skin texture, unclogs pores, enhances penetration (and therefore
effectiveness) of ingredients such as Vitamin C. It may also play a role in building skinfirming collagen and elastin, especially when incorporated into a two-step chemical
peel. Although synthetic, it is close in structure to an acid that occurs naturally in skin,
making it generally nonirritating. Beta Hydroxy Acid is derived from willow bark and
birch.
Butylene Glycol: a solvent with good antimicrobial action. Also
serves as a humectant and viscosity controller, and to mask
odor.
Calcium Gluconate: Calcium is an essential mineral for the body.
A small amount of research shows calcium gluconate may
be an effective anti-inflammatory and healing agent when
applied topically
Calendula Extract: (Calendula officinalis) (marigold) an emollient
said to have healing, wound-healing, soothing, antiseptic,
anti-itching, and anti-inflammatory properties.
Caprylyl Glycol: an emollient with moisturizing properties that
may also be used as a cosmetic stabilizer. When found in
combination with phenoxyenthanol these two ingredients
work together as an antimicrobial.
Capric/Caprylic Fatty Acids: are moisturizers derived from milk,
which improve permeability barrier of the stratum corneum,
and they are also antifungal.
Carbomer: used as thickening and suspending agents, and as
emulsion stabilizers in cosmetic formulations.
Carthamus Tinctorus Oil: an edible vegetable oil. In cosmetics

Chrysin: a natural flavonoid occurring in various plants and
foods such as propolis and honey, reportedly opposes
inflammation and carcinogenesis.
Cellulose: a thickener and an emulsifier obtained from plants.
Cetearyl Alcohol: an emulsifying and stabilizing wax produced
from the reduction of plant oils and natural waxes. Also
used as an emollient and to give high viscosity to a finished
product. Cetearyl alcohol is a mixture of fatty alcohols
consisting primarily of cetyl and stearyl alcohols.
Cetearyl Glucoside: a corn and coconut derived emulsifier is
produced using ecologically-friendly principles, without the
use of chemicals or solvents. Also a surfactant.
Cetearyl Polyglucose: a surfactant and emulsifier produced from
natural or synthetic ingredients.
Cetyl Alcohol: a versatile ingredient that can serve as an
emollient, emulsifier, thickener, binder, foam booster, or
emulsion stabilizer, depending on the formulation and
need. It is derived from coconut or palm oil as well as being
synthetically manufactured. Considered by some sources to
by a noncomedogenic material.
Chlorphenesin: a preservative with fungistatic and bactericidal
properties.
Chlorophyll: used as a natural coloring agent. It is credited with
skin-soothing and healing properties, thanks to its phytol
content, and has a mild deodorizing effect. Chlorophyll is the
green coloring matter found in all living plants and seen in
plant leaves.
Cholesterol: a moisturizer and emollient that acts as a powerful
emulsifier in water-in-oil systems. Cholesterol is a fat-like
substance found in plant and animal cells. It is also present
in the secretion of the sebaceous glands and, therefore, is
Citric Acid: derived from citrus fruits, this acid has astringent
and antioxidant properties. It can also be used as a
preservative with a low sensitizing potential. It is not usually
irritating to normal skin, but it can cause burning and
redness when applied to chapped, cracked, or otherwise
inflamed skin.
Cocamidopropyl Betaine: a surfactant derived from a coconut
oil salt. It is particularly effective in shampoos, foam baths,
shower foams, and other preparations where a high, creamy
foam and good skin tolerance are desired.
Coco-caprylate/caprate: a light and cosmetically elegant
emollient obtained from vegetable sources.
Coconut Oil: used as a cream base. A raw material in soaps,
ointments, massage creams, and in sunscreen formulations.
Soft white or slightly yellow in color and semisolid in
consistency, coconut oil is a grouping of primarily shortchain fatty acids bonded with glycerin and expressed from
coconut kernels. It is stable when exposed to air. Coconut oil

classified as an essential oil and is used as a miscellaneous
skin-conditioning agent and a fragrance ingredient. It is
known as myrrh oil, as well as myrrh absolute.
Corn Oil: used as a carrier. This vegetable oil has average
emollient properties. Although not particularly prone
to cause allergies, it is also not widely used in cosmetic
formulations. It is considered somewhat comedogenic.
Cranberry Extract: has an antibacterial and antioxidant
component due to the compound vaccinium, which is very
good for acne-prone treatments.
Cucumber Extract: cucumis Sativa, a soothing, tightening, and
anti-itching botanical extract. Contains amino acids and
organic acids that are claimed to strengthen the acid mantle.
Cylceryl Sterate: esterification products of glycerin and stearic
acid. Glyceryl Stearate is a white or cream-colored waxlike solid. Glyceryl Stearate SE is a “Self-Emulsifying” form

personal care products, Glyceryl Stearate is widely used and
can be found in lotions, creams, powders, skin cleansing
products, makeup bases and foundations, mascara, eye
shadow, eyeliner, hair conditioners and rinses, and suntan
and sunscreen products.
D-beta Fructan: A naturally occurring sugar with moisture
binding and skin-softening properties. Enhances synthesis of
cell wall components; promotes more water uptake in cells.
It is extracted to the fluids that flow along the basal layer of
the skin and causes the Langerhans cells, immune cells, to
expand with the increased water uptake, thereby plumping
the skin.
D-beta glucosamine: A skin strengthening agent found
in Chinese Foxglove. D-beta glucosamine is an amino
derivative of glucose and is used as a pH adjuster in skincare.
Strengthens the skins immune system and promotes
production of connective tissue, especially in the healing
process. It works well together with D-beta fructan.
DHEA (Plant Extract): a hormone made by the adrenal gland
which slows in production beginning at 30 years of age
and continues to decline. When applied topically, it acts as
an antioxidant which simulates cellular growth, helps burn
wounds heal faster and makes the skin look younger by
keeping it pliable and moist.
DHEA-Ascorbate: an antioxidant and adrenal hormone, which
stimulates cellular growth, helps burn wounds heal faster
and better. It utilizes skin’s receptors and forms a natural
bond with ascorbic acid as its activator.
Denatured Alcohol: is ethanol that has additives to make it more
poisonous or unpalatable and, thus, undrinkable. When used
in products that are not food, beverages or oral drugs, many
countries, including the United States, require that alcohol
be denatured.
Deuterium Oxide (Heavy Aqua (Water) - is water highly enriched
in the hydrogen isotope deuterium. The heavy molecular
weight delivers moisture deep into skin.
Dicaprylyl Ether: An ester oil. Sometimes referred to by its
trade name Tegosoft DEC. A skin conditioning agent that
provides light and non-greasy emollience to the skin. It’s well
known for its low-viscous texture and good spread-ability,
and is often used as a substitute for silicone and siloxane
ingredients such as cyclopentasiloxane. You can find this
ingredient in personal care products such as foundation,
sunscreen, facial moisturizer, concealer, anti-aging treatment,
bronzer/highlighter and body lotion.
Dimethicone: a derivative of silicone that imparts emollients
and is a water-binding agent that also provides “slip.” It
increases the linking of hyaluronic and other GAGs to protein
in connective tissue and skin.
Dry Skin (Xerosis): Dry skin, also called xerosis, is a common
problem. Due to sun exposure and aging, skin can lose its
ability to produce moisture and natural oils. This results in
dry skin. Though it may look smooth with fine pores and few 58

blackheads or blemishes, it may also have a tight, leathery
appearance.
Emulsifier: An ingredient used to bind together normally
noncombinative substances, such as oil and water. The
chosen emulsifier is not only crucial for the stability of an
emulsion, but has also a large impact on consistency, skin
feel and care properties of a formulation. Emulsifiers are used
in creams, lotions, sprays and foams that can be of the oil-inwater (O/W) or the water-in-oil (W/O) type.
Enzymes: protein that catalyze chemical reactions. Normally
found in exfoliation products.

disinfectant, anti-fungal, and blood-circulation activating
properties. It is also used as a fragrance. Its antiseptic
properties and disinfectant action increase as the oil ages.
Glycerin: a humectant used in moisturizer. It is water-binding
and able to draw and absorb water from the air, thus
helping the skin retain moisture. Glycerin has been studied
extensively for its hydrating abilities. Some of its associated
skin benefits are attributed to its ability to facilitate
enzymatic reactions in the skin, promoting corneocyte
dequamation. Based on the data available, glycerin has been
established as a good skin-moisturizing agent. Glycerin also
improves the spreading qualities of creams and lotions. It is
a clear, syrupy liquid made by chemically combining water
and fat that is usually derived from vegetable oil. While
glycerin has not been shown to cause allergies, it may be
comedogenic and irritating to the mucous membranes
when used in concentrated solutions.

(AHA) naturally found in sugar cane. As the AHA with the
smallest molecule and the greatest penetration, glycolic acid
deeply exfoliates to remove skin that is dry, coarse, or dead.
It dissolves intercellular cement responsible for abnormal
keratinization, improves skin hydration, sloughs dead skin
cells, cleans pores and smoothes fine lines. It is beneficial
for acne prone skin, diminishing age spots, as well as actinic
keratosis.
Glucose Polymers: Short chains of glucose molecules generally
obtained by the hydrolysis of starch.
Have moisture binding properties and soothing effect on
the skin.
Grape Seed Extract: Vitis Vinifera is the technical name for grape
seed extract, which is used in cosmetics and personal care
products because of its natural antioxidant properties. As an
antioxidant, it promotes capillary strength, aids with wound
healing and helps decrease bruising.
Green Tea Polyphenols: commonly derived from the plant
Camellia sinensis. The polyphenolic catechins in the Camillia
sinensis have anti-bacterial effects on streptococcus, in
addition to inhibiting viral infections. Some green tea
extracts are also shown to suppress activation of certain
types of carcinogens, and may inhibit estrogen interaction
with estrogen-related cancers. Green tea is also antiinflammatory, but can be sensitizing to certain individuals.
Green Tea Extract: An extract of the leaves of the tea plant
camellia sinensis , acts a potent antioxidant that helps to
support skin structures and repair skin cells.

it softens and smoothes the skin. Sunflower oil has a high
linoleic acid and other essential fatty acid content. In
addition, it contains lecithin, carotenoids, and waxes. This oil
is considered a noncomedogenic raw material.
Herbal Extracts: are thought to have many and have been
studied for years for their healing, antiseptic, purifying, anti
inflammatory and therapeutic properties. When a client tells
you she wants “natural” products, she is probably thinking
of products using these ingredients, although one must
also keep in mind that poison ivy is a “natural” ingredient.
Because these ingredients are, in fact, from nature, there
is also more likelihood that a client may have sensitivity or
an allergic reaction to a product with high levels of these
ingredients, especially if applied after a chemical exfoliation
or microdermabrasion treatment.
Hexandediol: a highly effective and mild coupling agent and
humectant. It is especially useful when bonding silicone
products and can be used at lower concentrations than
many other coupling agents, therefore reducing its irritation
likeliness.

it binds moisture to the skin for immediate smoothness. A
natural lubricator that promotes collagen formation.
Hydrogen Peroxide: a bleaching and oxidizing agent, detergent,
and antiseptic. Generally recognized as a safe preservative, 60
5
section
germ killer, and skin bleacher in cosmetics.
Hydroquinone: (In over-the-counter strength 1 % to 2 %, and
prescription strength 4% to 8 %). FDA-approved for skin
lightening and brightening. In order to be named a “skin
bleach” a product must have hydroquinone as an ingredient,
otherwise it may only be called a “brightener.” Hydroquinone
is a tyrosinase-inhibitor that slows down the production of
melanin by “turning off” the melanocytes. These types of
products should be applied at night to avoid sun interaction.
Hydroquinone can cause skin irritation in some individuals,
and use of sun block is a must while using hydroquinone or
any other tyrosinase-inhibitors.
Hydroxyethyl Cellulose: suggested as a thickener, protective
colloid, binder, stabilizer, and suspending agent. It is
obtained from wood pulp or chemical cotton by treatment
with an alkali.

due to ramped-up melanin production, resulting in blotchy
looking skin, “raccoon” under-eye circles, and uneven skin
tone.
Iron Oxides: an inorganic compound frequently used to add
color to cosmetics. It may have some slight sunscreening
ability. Iron oxide can vary in color from red to brown, black
to orange or yellow, depending on the purity and amount of
water added.
Isopropyl Palmitate: an emollient and moisturizer, it also acts
as a binder and solvent. Similar to isopropyl myristate,
it is produced from the combination of palmitic acid
(coconut or palm oil) and isopropyl alcohol. Enzymes are
able to metabolize this ingredient and studies do not
show allergic reactions or toxicity. Some sources indicate a
comedogenicity potential.
Jojoba Oil: a naturally occurring oil that resembles the skin’s
sebum. It is reputed to have healing qualities, and studies
have shown that it penetrates the stratum corneum rapidly
to reduce water lose.
Kaolin: a common clay mineral found naturally in the earth
that has great absorption abilities making it an appropriate
absorber of the oil and sweat secreted by the skin.
Keratosis Pilaris: A common skin condition in which a protein
in the skin called keratin forms hard plugs within hair follicles
and causes rough patches and small, acne-like bumps,
usually on the arms, thighs and buttocks. Keratosis pilaris
bumps are usually white, sometimes red, and generally don’t
hurt or itch.
Kojic Acid: Kojic Acid is a fungal metabolic product, produced
by several species of fungi, that inhibits the rate-limiting,
essential enzyme in the biosynthesis of the skin pigment
melanin. Kojic Acid is used in whitening products because
of this ability to limit melanin production and is often seen
as a skin-lightening gel. It inhibits the rate-limiting, essential
enzyme in the biosynthesis of the skin pigment melanin.
Kojic acid is a tyrosinase inhibitor.
Kukui Nut: used by early Hawaiians to soothe cuts and burns
and to help protect the skin from damage due to sun and
surf. Kukui nut oil is reported to have excellent penetration
properties, to aid in soothing and moisturizing the skin, and
relieve chapped skin and irritations. This oil does not leave
the skin with a greasy after feel. Kukui nut oil is apparently
an excellent treatment for psoriasis and eczema, and is also
beneficial for acne and other common skin disorders. In
addition, it is a sunscreen solubilizer that reduces the greasy 61

feel often associated with sun products. Studies indicate
possible natural sunscreen capabilities of its own, and when
used with other sunscreens, may enhance a formulation’s
efficacy. Native to Hawaii, the nuts and kernels are roasted
and then pressed for their clear oil, which has a high linoleic
and linoleic acid content. It is usually supplemented and
stabilized with vitamins A, C, and E.
to help relieve stress, and as such, is believed to be useful
in treatment skin problems caused or aggravated by
stress. The oil’s main component is linalool acetate; other
actives include geranoil, borneol, ocimene, and pinene.
It is generally considered nontoxic, nonsensitizing, and
nonirritating.
L-Arbutin: A naturally-occurring derivative of hydroquinone,
arbutin is mainly found in the leaves of cranberry, bearberry,
and blueberry shrubs. By inhibiting tyrosinase, it prevents
the formation of melanin naturally occurring form of

help clean small wounds after washing and regulate skin
functions. It works well on all skin types and produces
excellent results when used for oily skin as well as in
the treatment of acne, burns (sunburns as well as other
superficial and nonextensive types), dermatitis, eczema, and
psoriasis. Its benefit to the dermis is immediate since it is
easily and rapidly absorbed by the skin. Lavender oil is said
to normalize any skin type and to stimulate cellular growth
and regeneration. When added to other oils, lavender can
enhance and balance their effect. Lavender is also claimed

Rosacea: A chronic skin disease that affects the middle third
of the face with persistent redness over the areas of the
face that normally blush and the nose: mainly the forehead,
the chin and the lower half of the nose. The tiny blood
vessels in these areas enlarge (dilate) and become more
visible through the skin, appearing like tiny red lines (called
telangiectasias). Pimples can occur that look like acne. Unlike
acne, rosacea is not primarily a plague of teenagers. It occurs
most often in adults (ages 30 to 50), especially those with fair
skin, and affects both sexes but tends to be more common
in women but worse in men. Rosacea rarely reverses itself. It
lasts for years and, untreated, it worsens. Untreated rosacea
can cause a condition called rhinophyma (ryno-fee-ma),
literally growth of the nose, characterized by a bulbous,
enlarged red nose and puffy cheeks (like the old comedian
W.C. Fields). There may also be thick bumps on the lower half
of the nose and the nearby cheek areas. Rhinophyma occurs

and bruising caused by “leaky” blood vessels.
Zirconium Dioxide: an inorganic oxide which acts as an
opacifying agent. Provides barrier protection from the sun.
Used to soothe and heal the skin.
Watermelon Extract: a botanical extract that protects skin cells
(keratinocytes & fibroblasts) against daily stress induced by
UV light & free radicals, reduces the break-down of DNA in
human skin cells. In vivo tests on humans have shown that
watermelon extract protects the DNA up to 25%. Reduces
erythema after UV irradiation.
Zinc Oxide: an inorganic compound that provides an excellent
barrier to the sun and other irritants. Somewhat astringent,
antiseptic, and antibacterial. Proves both UVA and UVB
protection, and can contribute to and/or increase SPF.
Included on the FDA’s list of approved sunscreen chemicals.

Skin Types and Common Conditions
Mature Skin: Loose creepy appearance and lines distinguish this skin type which develops due to biological changes,
the aging processes and a slow-down of cell growth. Cells don’t regenerate quickly and skin loses its elasticity. Symptoms
include lines appearing due to ongoing positional habits, such as sleep lines, consistent facial movements, or muscle
changes from the effects of gravity.
Photo-damaged Skin: Occurs from extended exposure to sunlight. Most commonly affects skin on the face, arms and legs
that is left uncovered. Can manifest itself in sun/liver spots, pebbly skin, irregular pigmentation, and in some cases, cancer.
Oily Skin: Oily skin is often shiny and coarse in texture and may have recurring blackheads and enlarged pores. It may also
have patches of flakiness around the nose where excess oils have dried.
Dry Skin (Xerosis): Dry skin, also called xerosis, is a common problem. Due to sun exposure and aging, skin can lose its
ability to produce moisture and natural oils. This results in dry skin. Though it may look smooth with fine pores and few
blackheads or blemishes, it may also have a tight, leathery appearance. Skin needs moisture to stay smooth and supple, and
retaining moisture becomes difficult with age.
Sensitive skin: Broken capillaries and vessels beneath the surface of the skin distinguish this skin type. Sensitive skin
should not be over stimulated because it is extremely delicate and reactive to any type of physical or chemical stimulation.
Combination Skin: This skin type has an oily T-zone across the forehead, nose and chin, but a normal to dry area around
the cheeks and throat. Another combination pattern is oily along the chin, jaw line and at the temples, but normal to dry skin
Acneic Skin: Acne affects people regardless of age, gender, or race. Factors that affect acne production include heredity, oily
skin and bacteria. Acne skin is usually oily and distinguished by blackheads and pimples. If neglected and uncared for these
blemishes can advance to a worsened stage and leave behind scarred and pitted skin.
Rosacea: A chronic skin disease that affects the middle third of the face with persistent redness over the areas of the face
that normally blush and the nose: mainly the forehead, the chin and the lower half of the nose. The tiny blood vessels in
these areas enlarge (dilate) and become more visible through the skin, appearing like tiny red lines (called telangiectasias).
Pimples can occur that look like acne. Unlike acne, rosacea is not primarily a plague of teenagers. It occurs most often in
adults (ages 30 to 50), especially those with fair skin, and affects both sexes but tends to be more common in women but
worse in men. Rosacea rarely reverses itself. It lasts for years and, untreated, it worsens. Untreated rosacea can cause a
condition called rhinophyma (ryno-fee-ma), literally growth of the nose, characterized by a bulbous, enlarged red nose and
puffy cheeks (like the old comedian W.C. Fields). There may also be thick bumps on the lower half of the nose and the nearby
cheek areas. Rhinophyma occurs mainly in men.
Hyperpigmentation: The darkening of patches of skin or nails due to ramped-up melanin production, resulting in blotchy
looking skin, “raccoon” under-eye circles, and uneven skin tone.
Keratosis Pilaris: A common skin condition in which a protein in the skin called keratin forms hard plugs within hair
follicles and causes rough patches and small, acne-like bumps, usually on the arms, thighs and buttocks. Keratosis pilaris
bumps are usually white, sometimes red, and generally don’t hurt or itch.

Nutrition and Wellness Recommendations for
Treating Acne
Acne has many causes, including bacterial overgrowth on
the skin surface and lack of beneficial bacterial in the GI tract.
Hormones and poor diet can also play a role. Key nutritional
considerations are dietary and topical probiotics and
prebiotics, management of cortisol and other sex hormones,
and dietary considerations such as dairy intake and high
glycemic diet.
In addition to managing lifestyle choices it is important
to treat the skin in a way that manages the bacteria and
alleviates oil over production, while minimizing scars and
smoothing the skin. Microdermabrasion and the use of a
natural skincare line designed specifically for acne can lead
to dramatically improved skin.
Below is a very general overview of things to consider when
managing acne.
Lifestyle Recommendations
Keep inflammation in check.
An anti-inflammatory diet with a good balance of
omega 3 to omega 6 fats is critical. Be sure to include
plenty of fatty fish like salmon and/or plant sources of
omega 3 fatty acids like milled flax seeds and walnuts.
Limit fried foods and baked cookies and crackers which
contain high amounts of omega 6 fatty acids.
Eat your veggies and fruits.
Large amount of green vegetables not only provide
much needed B and C vitamins, but also are detoxifying
and anti-inflammatory. Aim for 5-7 servings per day
with a focus on eating a rainbow of colors to ensure
that you get a variety of phytonutrients.
imbalanced you will see it on your skin. Fermented
foods like yogurt, keifer, kimchi, sauerkraut and miso
are great natural sources of probiotics – healthy
bacteria. People with acne, especially those who have
taken antibiotics for years, have compromised gut
flora and may need the added benefit of a probiotic
supplement in addition to regular intake of fermented
foods.
Skip the sugar.
Sugar and refined carbs are not your partners in good
health in general, but if you have acne, they can be
especially detrimental to your skin. Strictly limit or
completely avoid refined sugar or refined carbs which
create AGE’s – advanced glycation end products.
These AGE’s damage collagen and elastin and lead to
premature skin aging.
Limit dairy consumption.
Research has shown that milk intake is positively
associated with acne. This is due largely in part to the
hormones in milk. Even organic milk has hormones, so
it is best to avoid it when trying to manage acne. Yogurt
and keifer are ok since they offer beneficial bacterial.
Hydrate.
Drink plenty of filtered tap or mineral water to flush
out toxins and give your cells the hydration they
require. Limit alcohol, caffeinated and sugar sweetened
beverages.
Feed your flora!
Your GI track and skin are both lined with healthy
bacteria that help fight off unhealthy bacteria and
maintain overall immunity. When your gut flora are

Lifestyle Recommendations Cont..
Skincare Recommendations
The final piece of the holistic approach involves your lifestyle
choices. There are many choices you make in your daily
living that can cause acne to flare. Think about making the
following important changes in your routine if you are not in
balance:
Every two weeks you should receive a MegaPeel EX®
Microdermabrasion treatment with Precision Peel® chemical
peel. After the peel apply daily eclipse™ oil-free SPF 30
sunscreen. Do not do anything but cleanse gently that
night. You may use a light layer of moisturizer, but keep it
light. (skincare recommendations below) Resume the normal
routine below 24 hours later.
Manage stress.
Stress causes elevated cortisol which can reak havoc on
your skin and increase overall inflammation. Take time
for you every day. This is different for everyone. It could
be yoga, meditation or just laughing with friends. Don’t
your worries control you, but rather take control.
Your daily skincare routine should consist of the following:
AM
•
Get your zzzz’s.
Inadequate sleep also raises cortisol and leads to
cravings for unhealthy refined carbs as the
body craves quick glucose spikes to increase energy.
Stick to a regular sleep schedule (even on the
weekends). Equally as important keep electronics out
of the bedroom and make your bed a place for rest, not
work.
•
•
•
PM
•
Keep germs off of your face.
Many times we do not realize how many germs,
dirt and oil we add to our face during the day from
unexpected places. Clean phones and keyboards
daily with an alcohol wipe. Change your pillow case
daily. We recommend a fragrance free, eco-friendly
laundry detergent for bedding and towels. Keep your
hands off of your face – this one is hard. Many times we
unconsciously touch our face during the day. At the
very least, keep hands clean by washing several times
per day to avoid transferring bacterial to your sensitive
skin.
Cleanse with either the repair bar or botana gel
cleanser™.
Swipe face with green tea toner.
Apply a thin layer of AHA salicylic acid.
Apply a layer of daily eclipse™ SPF 30 oil-free
mineral sunscreen and mineral makeup.
•
•
•
Cleanse with either the repair bar or botana gel
cleanser™.
Swipe face with green tea toner.
Apply a layer of vitA-clear serum™ to entire face,
avoiding the eye area.
Apply a thin layer of AHA salicylic acid over top.
WEEKLY
•
Apply retinyl enzyme treatment™ to face. Leave
on for 10 minutes. Rinse with clean water 3 times
or until the face no longer feels tacky. Follow
regular post-cleansing steps.
OPTIONAL
•
Swipe the face mid-day with green tea toner if you
feel oily.
55
6
section
•
•
•
•
•
•
Re-apply daily eclipse™ if you do so to protect
your skin from UVA/UVB rays and environmental
toxins.
If you need some moisture, I would try the
C-difference™ vitamin C moisturizer as needed,
but a light application.
For those who wish to fade acne scars you can
apply a thin layer of clari-tone serum™ over the
affected areas, followed by a layer of AHA salicylic
acid.
This should be done once per day. If you do this
during the day, always use the daily eclipse™ plus
mineral makeup, and wear a hat and sunglasses if
going into the sun.
Alternatively, you can save this for nighttime
and alternate vitA-clear serum™ and clari-tone
serum™.
vitA-clear serum™ should never be put on before
going in the sun either. It makes you very sun
sensitive.

Putting the pieces together for brilliant, healthy skin
The dmSkincare line is designed to treat specific skin
conditions or types with products formulated to work
together in targeted, daily regimens. Typically there’s a
morning and evening routine, as well as some weekly or
occasional treatments. Layering of products is done to
further enhance the effects of products and achieve certain
desired results.
Anti-aging is the most common goal of our clients. An antiaging routine should include regular use of vitamins A and C,
protection from UV radiation, and antioxidant protection. I
recommend the following routine:
•
AM
•
•
•
•
Cleanse – use a gentle cleanser to remove dirt,
makeup, and excess oil from the skin. We have
two great options: the botana gel cleanser™
or the gentle cleansing bar. The botana gel
has some alpha hydroxy acids to provide some
deeper cleaning and gentle exfoliation. The gentle
cleansing bar is great for sensitive or inflamed skin.
Serum – a serum is different from a moisturizer
in that it delivers an intensive dose of nutrients
to the skin for a specific purpose. For anti-aging I
recommend high potenC serum™. This product is
a botanical synergy of green tea, resveratrol, grape
seed and vit C in one antioxidant powerhouse
serum! This ascorbic acid form of vitamin C
provides the material needed for collagen and
elastin formation and also supports healthy
vasculature in the skin.
Eye cream – Not everyone uses an eye cream, but
most people over 40 see the first signs of age in
this area. Our eye radiance K’reme™ with grape
seed extract, arnica, haloxyl and vitamin K helps to
alleviate dark circles and puffiness. I love this stuff
and see visible changes since using it. This is a best
seller.
Moisturizer- a moisturizer does just that - provides
moisture and a lipid barrier to the skin. We have
two really great anti-aging choices which both
contain vitamin C. My current favorite is our
collagen renewal C’reme™. It contains peptides
and Epidermal Growth Factor, clinically proven
to increase firmness and moisture in the skin as
well as promote healthy collagen formation. I’m
also a huge fan of our C-difference™ – vitamin C
lotion, which is great for sensitive skin like mine or
anyone who has rosacea. The phosphorylated form
of vitamin C in this product nourishes inflamed
vessels. This is also my daytime choice during the
warmer weather when I want something lighter.
Sunscreen – We all know that you can get photo
damage any time of the year, even during the
winter. We feel strongly that a chemical sunscreen
does more harm than good. Our daily eclipse™ is
an oil free, mineral sunscreen, with SPF 30. This
formulation provides non-greasy coverage that
rubs in clear and does not contain any harmful
chemicals to irritate skin.
PM
The nighttime routine is similar, with the addition of a
toner and the subtraction of the sunscreen:
•
•
Cleanse – use a gentle cleanser to remove dirt,
makeup, and excess oil from the skin. We have
two great options: the botana gel cleanser™
or the gentle cleansing bar. The botana gel
has some alpha hydroxy acids to provide some
deeper cleaning and gentle exfoliation. The gentle
cleansing bar is great for sensitive or inflamed skin.
Toner – toner is great because it picks up the
makeup and dirt that cleansing alone sometimes
misses and has an astringent quality to clear the
pores. Our green tea toner contains a small
amount of glycolic acid, so it gently exfoliates the
57

section
•
•
skin and removes dirt and oil from the pores. It
also contains hazelnut oil and green tea extract to
nourish the skin and leave it feeling clean but not
over-stripped and tight.
Serum - Here’s where the vitamin A comes in.
Our vit-A clear serum™ is like retinA without the
harsh side effects. The retinal proprianate form of
vitamin A converts to tretenoic acid on the skin.
This product should be used every other evening.
It can be used every night for people with acneic or
oily skin. To boost the impact of your serum even
further you can add some AHA salicylic solution
after applying a serum to deliver the serum
deeper into the skin cells. For someone with
hyperpigmentation, you can utilize our claritone
serum™ on the alternating days, always followed
by applying the AHA salicylic serum afterwards. I
personally use the AHA salicylic solution on top of
my high potenC serum™ for ageing skin to boost
collagen and fill my lines.
Moisturize – most people like a creamy moisturizer
like collagen renewal C’reme™ or green tea vita-E
moisturizer™ - with vitamin E for the evening.
In addition to your daily skin care regimen on a weekly
basis, an exfoliating mask is a great idea. The retinyl
enzyme treatment - with green tea, is a great way to
exfoliate utilizing enzymes vs. particles. Please see my blog
post on Thoughtful Exfoliation for our point of view on
this.
