YOUR FIRST STEP TO SKIN RENEWAL

Used as part of our three step process to clean, nourish and protect your skin, Dermagenics Purifying Smart Cleanser is unlike anything you've ever experienced. Like all Dermagenics products, it is uniquely formulated using only the highest quality, most effective ingredients and contains no toxins, dyes or fragrances.

Why Ingredients Matter

You Are What You Put On Your Skin

One of the functions of the human skin is that it absorbs anything you rub on it, which then penetrates into the deeper skin tissues entering the capillaries directly to the bloodstream. Our skin absorbs 60% of what it is exposed/applied to it’s surface, in the form of radiation, water, vapor, creams, lotions, airborne pollutants, toxins, dust and dirt.

Because the skin absorbs from the surface into the deeper more sensitive tissues, you must avoid exposure to toxic, damaging substances which harm the skin as well as predispose us to pre-cancerous conditions. The goal is to nourish and protect the skin with natural, biologically active ingredients to support healthy skin and reduce the damage caused by a harsh environment.

Skin Releases Toxins

Skin also serves as a release of waste for things ingested through the mouth, in the form of sweat and odor. So what we put into our body also is released through our pores as a way for the body to detoxify itself. Applying topical lotions, sunscreens, and other products that clog pores can actually inhibit the body’s ability to purge toxins.

Know Your Ingredients

Industrial chemicals are basic ingredients most skin care products. Many contain carcinogens, pesticides, reproductive toxins, endocrine disruptors, plasticizers, degreasers, and surfactants. It is a little known but frightening fact that the top rated anti aging and moisturizing products are filled with toxic ingredients that actually do more damage than good to the skin. The majority of highly touted anti aging skin treatments and anti wrinkle creams are not only ineffective, but dangerous. In fact, many of the ‘ten best” review sites for anti wrinkle eye creams, anti aging creams and serums are little more than thinly disguised ecommerce sites, either selling directly the products they place in their top ten list, or receiving substantial compensation for selling the anti aging products they “rate”.

No FDA Standards for Cosmetics

Did you know that no safety testing is required for skin care and cosmetics in the US? This is a frightening reality of both the skin care industry and the broader chemical industry as a whole. For industrial chemicals, the government approves an average of seven new chemicals every day. Eighty percent are approved in three weeks or less, with or without safety tests.

Long Term Effects of Hidden Ingredients on the Human Body

In August 2005, scientists published a study finding a relationship between plasticizers called phthalates and feminization of U.S. male babies. Because of these findings, they named fragrance as a possible culprit.

What “Fragrance “ Hides

When a company wants to use harmful ingredients in products, they can hide them by putting it under the general category of “fragrances”. This avoids individually disclosing the full contents.

“Fragrances” are not regulated and because of the ability to cover this up you are never really sure what potential toxins you are exposed to. These substances can be petroleum based chemicals that are there to mask other chemical smells or to make the color stable. Do you want to risk putting the unknown onto your skin or into your body?

Not Just Harmful to Humans

What isn’t absorbed in the skin washes down the drain and into the water. This means: storm sewers, rivers, lakes, and the ocean. Studies show, again and again, that hormone systems in wildlife have been thrown into disarray by common water pollutants.

Once again, the list of culprits include skin care products. Hormonal chemicals in skin care products have been shown to decrease populations in several species of animals because they are no longer able to reproduce. Imagine the small amount that these animals are ingesting/absorbing, and think about the relationship to how much is directly applied to our skin.

DERMAGENCIS Only Contains Safe and Pure Ingredients

Every ingredient that goes into DERMAGENICS has a specific task to heal the skin, but is also vetted for its safety. Whether it’s delivering critical moisture, encouraging resilience, improving cell regeneration, or adding natural protein stimulants, each ingredient is carefully selected for its particular safety and ability to restore skin to its best condition.

The Butterfly Effect

There is a cause and effect to everything that we choose to do, including what we purchase. From the type of transportation we use, to the type of food we put in our bodies, we impact not only ourselves, but also the water supply, the air, the climate, the economy, and every living organism on our planet. By making responsible choices, even the smallest decisions can have a major impact on the future of our world.

Guide To Facial Cleansing

WHY WASH YOUR FACE?

We've all grown-up with parents telling us to wash-up before supper, or when we were teens, to wash our face to avoid breakouts. Adults, especially women, know that it is important to wash their face at night, after wearing makeup all day, because makeup can clog the pores and stain our pillow cases.

What is the real logic behind washing your face? Just as we wash our hands throughout the day to keep germs at bay, the face also comes in contact with bacteria and dirt. We touch our faces many times during the day, and airborne pollutants land on our skin by way of car exhaust, subway fumes, or the person next to you in line who coughed on you. Perspiring throughout the day can also attract dirt and clog pores.

Face washing not only clears away the impurities we collect, but also stimulates the skin to renew itself. Washing awakens cell turnover, which slows down the aging process by keeping your skin's metabolism steady. You don't just remove dirt and bacteria, but you remove dead skin cells as well, keeping skin looking bright, refreshed, and healthy.

WHY NOT USE SOAP?

Soap dries, strips, and pollutes our skin with harsh chemicals. It may seem like a good idea to use soap to get rid of excess oil on your skin, but what this does is make your skin produce even more oil to fight the resulting dryness. As a result, your skin will be temporarily dry just after you have washed it, but it will quickly become more oily than before. Sulfates should be avoided when washing the skin or hair as their harsh chemical nature damages skin and hair quality.

Avoid personal care products containing sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS). It is a chemical surfactant whose main purpose is to cause a foaming reaction. SLS is a harmful irritant that is harmful if swallowed, dangerous when absorbed by the skin, causes severe eye irritation and can cause a respiratory reaction.

When we strip the skin of all of its oils with harsh soaps containing sulfates, our body tells the skin to produce more oil than necessary for protection. This, in turn, can cause an array of skin problems, including breakouts, blemishes, dry skin and premature aging.

Other harmful soap ingredients include DMDM Hydantoin, Methylisothiazolinone, and Oxybenzone. These are all strong chemical substances that damage and irritate the skin, causing both short-term and long-term health consequences.

HOW TO WASH YOUR FACE

You've been washing your face for some time now. Why would you need us to tell you how? Maybe you don't, but many of us develop bad habits and need a little tune up from time to time.

When washing your face, follow these simple guidelines:

1. Use warm but not hot water
2. Wash with your hands. Avoid loofahs, scrub brushes, exfoliants, and washcloths because they will strip and irritate the skin.
3. Rub a small amount of cleanser between your hands, then, using a circular motion, apply to face and gently rub away impurities.
4. Rinse with warm to lukewarm water.
5. Towel dry by blotting, not rubbing.
