Healthy & Enhancing Skin Care Challenge in on!

In January ASK Cosmetics Inc. of Canada reached out to all those who suffer from very dry, irritated skin offering them a chance to become a participant in the first skin care challenge.  They were sent an assortment of skin care products sponsored by ASK Cosmetics and were provided with detailed instructions on how to apply these items for maximum benefits.

 

Today I would like to share the first impressions after one week of applications sent to me by two participants:  Leslie and Jackie.

 

Leslie's Story.....

 

 

Before photos of Leslie's right hand - dry, chapped, irritated and very painful with some bleeding

 

Leslie's First Progress Report reads:

Hi Lisa,

I have attached a few pictures of my hands. I now have been using the products for 6 days and I can tell a difference in them.

First, my hands are not as rough as they used to be. I love the way the lotion makes my hands feel like silk after I use the product. Also, the silk feeling I think seems to last longer than using regular hand lotion.

Secondly, my knuckles have stopped bleeding. Now my hands around my fingers are still dried out and rough but nowhere near what they were a week ago.

I can't wait to see how the products continue to change the appearance of my hands. I will send you another update and pictures in another week. Also, can you use these products on your face? My face does get dry in the winter months and it's hard to keep it from drying out.

Thank you,

Leslie

Jackie's Story.....

 

Before picture taken and sent in January 2013

 

Jackie's First Progress Report reads like this:

 

Lisa,

I've been using the products as instructed since January 31. Below are some pictures I've taken. You can visibly see that I have a split in my skin on the left side of my thumb. I also have a less severe split on my finger. I started using the TIPS for Toes on the splits several times a day and at night before bed and I have to tell you that it is remarkable. Although it doesn't have any numbing agents, the splits instantly stop hurting the moment I apply it. It absorbs quickly enough for me to apply the lotion after.

The soap leaves my hands feeling clean without over drying them. 

Now for the lotion. It is the only lotion I have ever used that thoroughly moisturizes without feeling greasy. The lotion actually absorbs completely. My hands have never been this soft and healthy in the winter. For as long as I can remember, my hands have suffered dry, cracked, painful winters. I have tried countless creams, lotions, even oils with little or no results. At night I would cover my hands in aquafor or Vaseline and sleep wearing gloves just to try to heal them for the following day. But it never failed, by night my hands were dry, cracked and painful again. Since using the Revival system, I have noticed a drastic difference. At night my hands are not dry. They keep the moisture without the grease!

I will continue the updates and keep taking pictures.

Thank you,

Jackie

 

After 1 week of using the Revival Skin Care System by ASK Cosmetics.

 

All participants in the Healthy & Enhancing Skin Care Challenge were provided with 3 important items:

 

Revival Hand & Nail Cleanser for the mildest hand washing possible (for more details on this product click here:  Best tips for washing your hands the gentle, healthy way);

 

Revival Skin Conditioning Milk for soothing nourishment for their skin without the unhealthy, unnatural waxes and silicones (for more info on this product click here:  ASK Cosmetics Skin Care - to the rescue!);

 

 

 Last but not least participants were given a bottle of TIPS for Toes with the instructions to apply a bit to all the severly cracking, dried out areas of their hands.  People are sceptical when I tell them to do this, but it works wonders!!

 

ASK Cosmetics offers "travel size" bottles of the Revival Skin Conditioning Milk and the Revival Hand & Nail Cleanser so you won't have to leave home without it.  The bottles are very convenient to take along in your purse.

 

All ASK Cosmetics products are available:  on their website/webshop, The Shopping Channel in Canada, QVC in the USA or by calling toll-free 1-877-275-5566 to place an order.

When is the best time to apply T.I.P.S.?

To start off  I would like to begin with a few fundamental facts about nails:

• Your nails are so porous they absorb water and other substances 10 times faster than our skin;
• Underneath the hard nail is the so-called nail tissue, which resembles a sponge. 
• Our nail tissue absorbs water very easily and quickly, and it becomes swelled up.  Then once water evaporates again, it shrinks back down to normal size.
• Constant swelling and shrinking of your nail tissue (which we can hardly avoid when washing our hands several times a day!) causes dry, brittle nails.

 

One of the most common FAQ's is about the best time for application:

 

When is the best time of day to apply T.I.P.S.™?

Apply The Incredible Protection System (T.I.P.S.) when your nails are the driest, which for most of us is first thing in the morning.  Our nails have not been exposed to water during the night, so our nails and cuticles can absorb T.I.P.S. fast and effectively providing them with maximum protection for the rest of the day.   Any application of T.I.P.S. must be done when your hands have been out of water for at least 1 hour.  The reason being is that if your nails and cuticles have been exposed to water, they will be full of water and not dry enough to absorb our conditioning treatment.

If these concepts are clear, then it makes sense that T.I.P.S. Nail Conditioner, which is super rich in lipids, must be applied BEFORE exposing your hands to any water whatsoever.  T.I.P.S stands for The Incredible Protection System and that explains what it is designed to do:

1. replenish the lipids that are the "cement" holding your cells together and providing the nails with flexible strength;
2. protect your nail tissue and cuticles from a number of elements, for example: water (#1 cause of dry, brittle nails) as well as stripping substances/chemicals in cleaning detergents such as  harsh surfactants;
3. fortify and hydrate your nails and cuticles.

So, the bottomline is you want your nails to be completely dried out, which means no water in the nail tissue whatsoever, in order to get the maximum protection and fortification this product offers AND to achieve maximum results.

 

Thanks for stopping by and take care,  Lisa M.

How to apply T.I.P.S. Nail Conditioner

TIPS Nail Conditioner has helped millions of fingernails become strong, yet flexible with a vibrant, healthy colour. 

 

 

 But, in order to achieve the maximum results TIPS has to be applied according to the instructions, which are by no means difficult. 

 

 

 

How do I apply T.I.P.S.™ Nail Conditioner?

Apply T.I.P.S. daily to your cuticles, the entire top surface of your nails, the underside of your nails and the skin around your nails.  It is important to treat the area around the root of your nail, which is located just before your first knuckle.  For optimal results apply the T.I.P.S. treatment when your nails are driest, which for most of us is first thing in the morning.  Be sure to apply T.I.P.S. before exposing your hands to water, as it is designed to treat and protect your nails and cuticles from the damage caused by water and other harsh substances throughout the entire day.  If you wear nail polish or acrylics, simply apply T.I.P.S. to the cuticle area, the skin around the nail and underneath your nails.

 

Just remember: shake the bottle prior to every application, apply generously even the areas surrounding the nail itself, then gently rub your hands together as you would apply a hand lotion. There is no need to wait since completely dry nails will absorb TIPS Nail Conditioner immediately. So, it is a one-step daily manicure treatment for your nails and cuticles that only takes 2 - 3 minutes to complete. Your nails will thank you for it, believe me! Mine have.

ASK Cosmetics Inc. has an incredible promotion at the moment.  Contact me at lmueller@askcosmetics.com for more information.

Have a great day, Lisa M.

From acrylic damaged nails to longer, stronger natural nails

As you may know ASK Cosmetics is running a Total Nail Transformation Challenge at present.   The participants send in weekly reports including photo documentation on their results.  The reason we set such a long timeframe for these challenges is simple:  good things take time.  There is no such thing as a "quick fix" for nails, so please don't believe that months or years of damage done to your nails can be repaired within days or weeks.  It can take anywhere from 4 to 9 months for your nails to totally grow out!

Gayle, one of our fantastic participants, has sent me her Week 6 Update, which I would love to share with you today:

My nails continue to improve in strength and appearance, with amount of ridges starting to decrease. Cuticle health is improving except for where I continue to pick, this is a habit I am working hard to break and do see some improvement. I have stopped picking apart my pomegranates and my nails are losing the dirty look I had complained of (beware of those pomegranates - they definitely stain). You will see that during a particularly stessful moment I reverted to biting and attacked the right hand thumb nail as well, another bad habit, using nails as tools, did this and had some breakage, didn't break right off and I am babying it and believe it or not, I think it is self mending, will let you know more next week.

I continue to receive compliments on my nails and a co-worker commented across the table after a meeting "oh I see you are getting acrylics again" and when I told her I had stopped biting and these were my very own, she was really impressed and had to hear all about the ASK products I am using. I continue to use the Revival Hand & Nail Cleanser (BUT so do the others in my house despite my direct order to leave it alone, will have to check and see if they notice any improvement), the Revival Skin Conditioning Milk (love this stuff and will be ordering soon) the TIPS for Toes (every am prior to washing/showering) and of course the curved Contour Nail File multiple times per day (this goes everywhere with me). I am loving my nails and plan to never bite again, if they are this nice half way through the challenge, I cannot wait to see how wonderful they will look when we are done. Thanks ASK for helping me to love my nails :)

 

Great work, Gayle.  Your progress is amazing and we are thrilled about all the compliments you are receiving. 

Thanks for taking the time to stop by today.  Til next time, Lisa M.
