Directions for Use of Osmosis Skin Products

Thursday, January 12th, 2012

Osmosis Pur Medical Skin Care is a product line developed by Ben Johnson, M.D. Included under this brand name are cleansers, moisturizers, peels and products for treatment of skin conditions, such as acne and Rosacea. According to Johnson, in an article for Belle Derme, the Osmosis line concentrates on maintaining a barrier and increasing blood flow to skin. Directions for product use will depend on what items you choose and the condition of your skin. Osmosis Pur Medical Skin Care offers products that will work well for daily skin care.

Step 1
Dispense a small amount of the Osmosis Cleanse to the tips of your fingers. Wash your face thoroughly by rubbing the cleaner over skin. Rinse with warm water to remove dirt and soap residue, then pat dry with a clean towel. Repeat process once or twice a day.

Step 2
Apply a moisturizer liberty to the clean skin. Osmosis offers two moisturizers in their line. Quench contains hyaluronic acid and will help firm the skin surface. Osmosis Shelter works to coat skin and contains a sunblock with SPF 29.

Step 3
Add an Osmosis eye cream to your skin care routine if eyes tend to be puffy. RefreshPM is for night-time use only and Refresh eye serum is for anytime use. Apply a small amount of the serum to fingertips or a cotton ball. Dab serum under eyes carefully and massage so spread the liquid. If serum gets into eyes, rinse immediately.

Step 4
Use a healing product for your skin type. For example, Osmosis Clarify is an acne serum that claims to control bacteria on the skin surface. In addition, Osmosis offers products for anti-aging and to treat Rosacea. The application will depend on which product you choose. Follow the instructions provided with the bottle.

Step 5
Go to a doctor for an Osmosis facial and peel. Osmosis offers a number of products for professional use by salons that will exfoliate skin and remove the outer layer to promote new skin growth.

Tips and Warnings
Osmosis has a vast catalog. The directions for use of the products will vary. Read the label of each item before using for instructions.
If skin becomes red, swollen or irritated, discontinue use of the product. This would indicate an allergic reaction.

Specially designed to fight this stress, Vital Defense Crème helps the skin to remain youthful; the skin is oxygenated, stress-free, glowing. *Free radicals play a major role in tissue balance.

YonKa Paris Summer Cleansers

Monday, August 4th, 2008





The Ladies of Beauty Gone Green are gearing up for some lovely adventures in Beauty Travel. We can’t wait to bring you the latest from our trips where we search the world over to bring you the best beauty products. Our two must-have travel products are both from YonKa Paris, our most favorite, traditional, French skincare line. Yonka’s Gel Nettoyant and Lait Nettoyant both act as nutritious, healing cleansers and makeup removers in one. If your skin is more dry opt for the Lait. However if change of climate and stress leave your skin oily, simply trade the Lait out for the Gel.

Travel and endless business meetings, (yes even beauty business) can leave a girl’s skin somewhat exhausted. Lait Nettoyant is a “thorough and gentle cleansing agent that revives the skin’s protective lipids, leaving the complexion feeling soft and alive. The skin is sumptuously cleansed with a luxurious sensation of comfort. The complexion is smooth and hydrated with a satiny finish to the touch.” And they are not just saying that. If we were not in the business of trying new products we’re pretty sure these two would hold the exclusive rights to our toiletry’s bags prime real estate. They both also adeptly remove layers upon layers of makeup in the blink of an overly made up eye. Also, a dab of either product on the end of a q-tip is the best way to correct faulty makeup application. YonKa really is a girl’s best friend.
