24 Year Medical Esthetician Explains Nerium

What is Nerium?

NeriumAD is its own entity.  Although the NAE8 molecule has been revered as having magical healing powers, mankind only recently discovered how to safely harness its powers of regeneration.  This wonderful non-toxic molecule, coupled with Aloe Vera, is the secret.  NeriumAD was born, tested and found to be the purist and fastest anti-aging product in existence.


 

STAGES

There are stages when using any fast-acting cellular topical.  Every Skin is like a different leather or wood, they need different oils for preservation.  The immediate benefits when using NeriumAD is the smoothing of the skin; changes in tone and texture.  Brown spots that are superficial will fade in the first month, whereas deeper pigmentation will rise to the surface and then disappear.  General acne will resolve quickly and cystic acne will surface fast before clearing.  All the while, your pores will be shrinking and your face lifting.  I recommend a 3 month trial prior to giving up.  I see miracles everyday in my practice and throughout the general public.  This is a magical, accidental, non-toxic breakthrough night cream that is changing lives one face at a time!


 

FACTS ABOUT THE SKIN AND FAST-ACTING DERMAL PRODUCTS

Any dermal product that is concentrated and fast acting will have certain effects on the skin.  Due to rapid cell turnover and regeneration where the new cells are formed (dermal layer) will cause the skin to go through various stages as it recovers itself. Remember the skin is the largest organ in the body and, like any organ, it regenerates. The outer layer of the skin, the epidermis, sloughs off every 30-35 days, allowing newer skin cells to rise to the surface each month.  Often, when treating various skin conditions, stages will occur. 

For example, rosacea, when properly treated, needs to be activated to calm.  I am published in Rosacea and am fully aware that as I acidify the skin, it may have a red mild transient stinging sensation that is short lived before it calms down, symptoms disappear and redness and mottled pores smooth out.  The same is true with acne, the skin will expel lesions rapidly prior to clearing.  The same is true of hyperpigmentation, it will often darken before it fades. 

Therefore, the stronger the product, the faster the stages, the faster the resolve.


I always recommend a 90 day trial, just as physicians do, because it is important to see three skin turnovers.  Everyone has different skin, but everyone's skin heals itself the same way.  Physiologic fact.  Scars and scabs or "crusts" (as they are called in the industry) and darkening from the sun are all protective features of the organ.  We are able to correct damage by understanding skin.

Does $2.67 a day sound reasonable? 

How about $1.34 a day?

Not only do I want you to be comfortable with your Nerium purchase, I want you to be confident that you are getting a great value.

I've researched our top competitors and would like to share some price comparisons. I would never say anything negative about their products. I have not used them, so I cannot speak to their effectiveness. I support all at-home businesses with legitimate products because they give jobs to thousands of people, including myself.

(Although Nerium was not made for acne and scars, it has been seen to improve both. I joined the company because of how it healed a surgical scar so quickly and beautifully. I have had NO breakouts since starting Nerium in December. I tend to breakout monthly and throughout pregnancy due to hormones.  However, I have not had any blemishes this pregnancy.)

From Beautiful Princess to Ugly Duckling

Here's something that has always confused me.

When girls are little, they love to dress up and be beautiful princesses.  Their parents tell them, "You're so beautiful.  You're my little princess."  Little girls feel good about themselves.  They are filled with confidence and fueled by it.

When they become teenagers, they start hanging out with other teenage girls.  One day, negative self-talk begins.  They no longer feel like a beautiful princess but more like an ugly duckling.  Where does this come from?  From my experience, it was a bad thing to feel pretty, God forbid to say, "I think I'm pretty."  If a teenager says something like that, her "friends" may think she's conceited or full of herself.  Instead of girls telling each other how lovely they look, girls talk about themselves in a negative way.  They say, "I'm so fat.  I'm so ugly.  No one likes me.  No one wants to date me.  I wish I was as pretty as so-and-so."  This self-deprecating talk is common. 

What's not common?  It's not common for girls to look at themselves and say, "I feel beautiful.  I look pretty.  I love my skin.  I have a great body.  I'm very comfortable."  It's not common for their peers to compliment each other either.  Why is this?  What happens between being a little girl, dressing up and feeling beautiful to being a teenager, with a poor self-esteem?

I believe what happens is that girls start comparing themselves to other girls.  They don't notice the positive about themselves, only the negative.  They just notice what they don't have, what's missing.  They compare themselves to the air-brushed women they see in magazines.  They believe that feeling GOOD about the way you look is actually a BAD thing, that their friends won't like them if they have confidence in themselves.

These negative feelings often grow worse as a teenager becomes a woman, leading so many women to have such poor self-esteem that they allow themselves to be treated badly in relationships because they think they don't deserve better.  This happened to me in a previous, abusive relationship.  I had convinced myself that no one else would want me, so I stayed with my abuser.  I was an intelligent woman, but I lacked the confidence to see that I deserved better. 

Many women continue negative self-talk into their adult years, criticizing their own looks and body.  Their children see and hear this behavior, and it just adds to the child's mindset that she too is "fat", "ugly", etc. 

Women, we've got to pull together and change this cycle!  We've got to teach our daughters that self-confidence is a good thing, a great thing.  We've got to stop beating ourselves down and start lifting each other up!  We've got to show our young girls, through our words and actions, that we are ALL BEAUTIFUL.  We are all worthy of the very best.  Beauty comes in different shapes, colors, and sizes.  It is our differences that makes us unique and our differences that color the world so beautifully.

Remind your daughters daily that they are beautiful, that you wouldn't change a thing about them, and they should not be scared to think they are pretty.  They should feel comfortable saying, "I am beautiful."  This is not boastful.  This is not conceited.  This develops a positive self-image.  This prevents the "ugly duckling" feelings.  This promotes positive self-worth.

Encourage your daughters to shut down the negative self-talk they hear among their friends.  Encourage them to say to their friends, "You are beautiful.  I would not change a thing about you."

Change the way you think.  Allow yourself to feel good about you.  Give yourself permission to say, "I am beautiful."  Don't be afraid to tell others, "You are beautiful."  Confidence is a GOOD thing. 

Women, let's talk more about self-esteem.  What causes negative self-worth?  What can we do about it?  Be a part of the conversation, and help build a global community of kindness.
