FDA CFSAN on the use of Parabens in skincare
I have had 2 questions recently about the use of parabens in the Retinol Serum.
While the cheaper skincare products use Formaldehyde, the more expensive ones use Parabens as a preservative and to prevent bacterial growth.
Most users continually touch their products with their fingers and bacteria transfer from face to product happens frequently.
CFSAN the office within the FDA that regulates cosmetics and fragrances, confirms that parabens are safe especially if multpile parabens are used within a product and the total volume does not exceed 25% and each individual paraben's volume is not more than 0.3%.
So please remember, never dip your fingers into your products. Use a spatula and never return unused product back to your jars.

Oily as your skin is dehydrated
If you have oily skin today, it means your skin is dehydrated. Simply put, without a balance of oil and moisture, your skin would crack and it would be painful to frown, smile and laugh.
The problem with oily skin is just that with not enough mositure, your oil glands will compensate by producing more oil, to protect your skin.
So for those with oily skin, the first step is to make sure you balance your skin with a toner that contains oolong tea, pumpkin seed, chamomile and witch hazel which helps purify, soothe and refine pores while controlling shine.
Second step is to use a day moisturiser which has grapeseed polyphenols, licorice, and seaweed extract that replenishes moisture, while creating a barrier against drying. and a night moisturiser which combines soy, slmond oil, pistachio oil and rosemary extract to replenish lost moisture, and repair the natural lipid barrier.
So remember, if you have oily skin, it only means your skin is dehydrated, and you need to hydate it - not remove the oil. As the oil will continue to flow, as long as your skin is not properly hydrated. Makes sense doesn't it?

Green Tea Oil - a miracle oil?
Launched last night, our First in the world Green Tea Oil is finally available for all Malaysians aged above 6 months.
Green Tea Oil is a botanical oil-soluble Catechin. which is extracted from green tea base powder through a globally-patented manufacturing process, combining coconut oil, jojoba oil, squalene from Oilve oil and natural Vitamin E.
Patented (PCT/JP01/05020) and made exclusively by Unicity Japan, this miracle oil is a beauty and anti-aging moisturising oil that shows quite immediate results for many types of skin problems.
The birth of Oil-soluble Cathechin - CoCoGreen
Cathechin is a type of tannin found in tea leaves, known for it's anti-oxidant, anti-bacteria, fat-burning and odour-elimainating properties. CoCoGreen is the first in the world, that has blended Cathechin into an oil-soluble form, without usig surfactants or emulsifying agents.
The patented process of blending green tea with medium chain triglycerides (MCT) is what sets Green Tea Oil apart from the rest of the other oils.
Studies have proven that MCT from coconut oil, fight many viruses including herpes, bacteria & fungi. MCT is an immediate source of energy and enables the body to metabolize fat efficiently. MCT has a high affinity for hair proteins because of its low molecular weight and straight linear chain, and is able to nourish the hair. (Now you know why the Indians use coconut oil on their hair)
Oil soluble catechin in a size of only 3.5 nanometers, has the ability to quickly and easily penetrate deep down the skin layers to restore moisturise and elasticity, as well as burn fat and remove cellulite.
Water soluble catechins evaporate immediatly upon application, making it ineffective.
What makes Green Tea so special?
Green Tea is organically grown in an island south of Tokyo. The secret of green tea lies in its rich catechin polyphenols particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) . EGCG is know for it's anti-bacteria, fat-burning and olour-elimating properties.
25% of green tea leaves weight is EGCG, epigallocatechin (EGC), epicatechin gallate (ECG) and epicatechin (EC).
Studies claim that Catechin of green tea can prevent cancer and can increase endurance in exercise by improving fat metabolism. Is it any wonder, that many people drink green tea as a beverage today?
Black and oolong tea undergoes fermentation which looses some of its anti-oxidant properties. including this EGCG.
Features and benefits of Green Tea Oil

Elaine was a shade fairer after the Mineral Mask
Yesterday Elaine and Indra - my ex colleagues came for my monthly Health and Beauty day at my PJ office.
After doing their 10 minutes Qi test, to record the energy levels of their organs, GC Ong gave an interpretation of their individual results. He stressed the importance of drinking purified water, daily exercise and how to keep the body alkaline. He also covered the importance of a yearly cleansing and detox, to prevent cancer, keep the skin clear and prevent joint pains and the Tired all the Time syndrome..
Laura then used a hydrating meter and skin scope to do a skin analysis for them. I then did a simple facial for them introducing our Creamy Cleanser, Foaming Cleanser, Hydrating Refiner and then doing a Mineral Mask for lifting, firming, lightening and oil balance.
Both Elaine and Indra were very happy with the results as just after 30 minutes, their skin was softer, smoother, balanced, lifted and fairer.
Drop in during our next Health and Beauty day or visit my eBay store to invest in these products today, to test it out yourself.

Lasers, Lights, Sounds - to keep you 10 years younger
It's getting scary - as years pass, gravity keeps pulling skin downwards and too many options to choose the lasers, lights, sounds, the knife and botox that promise to turn back your clock.
For those that these procedures work, its heaven sent, but for those that something goes wrong, it's a painful realisation that its not the technology, but the error-prone humans who operate the equipment that could make your life a living hell.
Aging is not an option, but looking younger than your biological age 10 and 20 years from today starts now - when you have the good, firm, tight and young skin.
Unlike a new car that has a manual for service intervals, your body did not come with a service manual. So here's a simple manual for looking 5-10 years younger, today and in the future.
1. Use a physical sunblock with UVA/UVB protection (Sunblock SPF46 UVA/UVB rated)
2. Drink 5-8 glasses of purified water daily. (Nature Pure Water Purifier)
3. Take some good anti-oxidant vitamins and mineals (Daily Produce24)
4. Use a day moisturiser for protection and a night mosituriser (Green Tea Oil) for repair.
5. Weekly do a mineral mask to exfoliate, for oil balance and to lift up and tighten the skin
6. From age 35, add a Vitamin A serum (Retinol Serum) to speed up the skin renewal, erase fine lines and lighten pigmentation.
The money will be spent later or today. And spending today will keep you looking younger longer, and keeping you confident too.

I've dropped the price of this miracle oil from RM297 to RM277 in my ebay store as there are savings from the GST and exchange rate. Get 2 bottles at just RM257 each, 4 bottles at RM237 or 8 bottles at just RM196 each. (Just sell 6 bottles to your friends at RM277 and you get 2 bottles free to use yourself!)

Feedback from Joanne, Viji and Munleng
I meet up with 3 customers recently, and wanted to share some of the feedback they gave me on the Green Tea Oil and Creamy Cleanser.
Munleng has been using the Green Tea Oil for her face and whole body and has since sold 3 bottles to her friends based on her slimmer face and body. She could see immediate results within 1 day, as she applies twice daily.
Viji has just started on the Creamy Cleanser and yesterday when we met, she looks fairer and her skin looks so much cleaner, clearer and radiant. She has now ordered the Day Moisturiser to try out.
Joanne has just been on Perform and Green Tea Oil for the last 2 weeks, and when I met her on Thursday, she told me the green tea oil is really good especially for pimples and rashes which she has applied for her niece.
I am glad the Green Tea Oil will be launching next month in Malaysia. If you have yet to try it, do search for the previous posts on Green Tea Oil and you can read more about this "miracle oil" for your skin and hair.

Simple skincare for men
This week a new lady friend asked me what products I've been using. Could it be because of my problem free, smooth, baby soft and hydrated skin?. hahahaha.
Well being lazy like most men but still vain like most metrosexuals, I do use the Be Creamy Cleanser, Be Foaming Cleanser and Be Hydrating toner twice daily. A few times a week, when I remember, I will use the Green Tea Oil for my crows feet, eye bags and laugh lines. And once a month, I do a lifting facial with the Dr Berman's Mineral Mask. I've been using these same products since 2003 and never leave home without them.

Do you believe that Beauty is only skindeep
Well it certainly is true. After all, by the time our skin reaches the surface, it's about 28 days old, already dead cells, ready to fall off.
So why is it that most people want to nourish the dead cells?. When the actual focus should be on giving the nutrients to the basal layer - the 5th layer of the skin, where the factory producing the new skin cells is.
Some even go do peeling, and scrubbing, to remove the dead cells, and expose the under developed skin, causing long term pigmentation in the future.
Well in business, it's everyone's interest to sell you a product or service and some twist the facts to sell.
Be a smart consumer and learn about how your skin works, so that you can choose the right products.
In 2003, Be skincare was launched in USA and 17 countries around the world. It was the first in the world with a patented Nanomin technology. Finally, there was a liposome so small (just 35 nanometers), that it could easily penetrate the skin's pore size of 50 nanometers.
With this new technology, all the plant botanicals and the vitamins A, C and E can be delivered directly to the 5th layer of the skin using this Nanomin technology.
Talk about the power of science and nature. You can see and feel visible results after just one use. Guaranteed!.
Visit my eBay store to invest in any of the Be products and try it out for yourself. Tomorrow when you wake you, you will see your skin clearer and fairer and feel it softer, smoother and more sensous.

Vitamins for your skin
I just saw an advert on TV and they were talking about vitamins for your car engine. Made me laugh, but then again, most people today understand what vitamins do for your body, so why not your car. Brings me to the topic of Vitamins A, C & E - the antioxidant vitamins.
Antioxidants basically are needed by the body for anti aging and anti cancer.
Ever notice how those that smoke, usually look older than their chronological age?. Well smoking depletes Vitamin C - and Vitamin C is important for collagen production. Collagen is the cement that holds the skin together. So lack of Vitamin C, makes your skin sag and drop to the floor.
Anyway to cut the long story short, imagine a skincare with all the antioxidant vitamins A, C & E, together with the science to deliver it to the 5th layer of your skin - where the new skin cells are made.
That is what a good skincare is - the marriage of plant botanicals and vitamins with nanomins - the latest skincare science.
Visit my eBay store to try out the cleansers then decide if its for you.

The chlorine and the sun at the Lagoon
I spent Saturday at Sunway Lagoon Theme Park, to celebrate our 50th Independance Day, together with 50,000 other people!. Crowded and it was such a hot day today!. Oh my favourite action actor Jackie Chan was also there, and I did get to meet him in person.
I got there at 8am, spent the first 3 hours in the dry park and the next 3 hours in the wet park. Of course I didnt forget my Sunblock and After Sun aloevera gel. If not, the skin will really be red, hot and will certainly damaged.
The chlorine in the water also was too much, and you can really smell it and see the effects quite immediately on your hair. When I got back, used my Hydrating shampoo and also Intense Reconstructor, and my hair is baby soft again. hehehe.

Your skin is the largest organ of your body and the condition of your skin, depends very much on your how clean your blood is and how alkaline your blood is. With a regular detox and acid alkaline balance, you can enjoy softer, smoother, clearer and problem free skin, everyday.

How do you choose your beautician?
It surprises me that many ladies actually choose their beautician based on location. Either close by to home or office.
Yes is real estate, location is everything and for an online business, traffic is everything and for sales, the sales copy is everything. But for skincare - based on location?. Something definately wrong right!.
If our physical health is wrong, we will travel the world looking for the right doctor, but if our skin is sick, somehow the closest beautician to us, becomes our trusted source.
How does your beautician profit in her business?. Well 2 ways - 1 facial service and 2 selling products that offer the highest profit margin.
Over the last 8 years talking to beauticians, and offering the safest all natural skincare for their clients, the number 1 reason every beautician gives me is, the profit margin of Be skincare, is too low to offer to their clients.
So now you know. Your beautician is not recommending you the best products - only the products that give her the best profit margin. What this means is that Be skincare does not have inflate prices, but is reasonably priced so consumers can purchase directly at wholesale prices.
Not every made in France, Taiwan, China, Japan or Switzerland product is the best for your skin. Its always better to trust Made in USA products due to world class regulations and lawyers too!
Be Skincare is made exclusively in USA and sold today in 17 countries. Formulated with 100 different plant botanicals with an exclusive patented Nanomin technology, you can see and feel the results of Be skincare after the first use.
Visit my eBay store to invest in your skin today. Yes you can have softer, smoother, clearer, more radiant and sensous skin today. Guaranteed!

Cleansing - the key step in your skincare regime
Cleansing - the key step in your skincare regime
Most people invest lots of money in treatment products for break-outs, wrinkles, fine lines, pigmentation, age spots and uneven skin tones.
But the key is really to understand that if we don't clean up the rubbish in our skin pores, all these treatment products will never be absorbed by the skin and do a proper job.
Our pores get clogged daily by the pollution in the air and the bacteria around us. So our face cleansing is truly the most important step to having blemish free, soft, supple and sensous skin.
So how do you choose a good cleanser?. Be a smart consumer and learn how to read the product label and ingredient list. Here are some tips:-
Avoid products with ingredients that can cause your skin to become sensitive. These ingredients include alcohol, colours, artificial fragrances, preservatives & mineral oil to name a few. That would exclude close to 95% of the skincare in the market today!.
Once you have found the few that have all safe & natural ingredients, the next step is to find one with the latest technology. Skincare is a science - everyone can give you the right ingredients, but not everyone has the technology to fully utilise these ingredients to clean, nourish, protect and repair the basal layer of your skin - the factory that produces you good skin every day.
The reason is the pore size on your face is only 50 nanometers big. And those using the lipsosome technology use a liposome that is 150 nanometers big!.
What if you knew of a skincare science that could produce skincare with a liposome size of just 35 nanometers?. Would that be really fantastic?. Obviously - if the ingredients were all natural and excludes all the things you should avoid
Be skincare - launched in 2003, uses this Nanomin Technology. All plant oils and extracts are encapsulated in Nanomins the size of 35 nanometers and easily can enter the pores to nourish the skin layers down to the 5th level, where your skin factory is.
Don't take my word for it. try this simple cleanser today, risk free for 60 days!.
Visit my eBay store and see what a good cleanser can do, in your quest for eternal youth and problem free skin.

The quest for Perfect Skin
So your goal is to have perfect skin?
Let’s consider the goal being having:-
Invisible Pores
Lineless & wrinkle free
Hydrated
Porcelain Even Tones
The prescription for Perfect skin is simply to do the Basics daily and the anti-aging treatments weekly. And the key, is selecting a chemical-free, colour-free, fragrance-free and mineral oil-free range of products.
Daily Basic Regime:-
Step 1. Double cleansing at night and a single cleansing with either a creamy or foaming in the day is sufficient. Some products require a third cleansing, which irritates the skin and only clears away the beneficial oil required to hydrate the skin
Step 2. Use the right toner/refiner to balance the ph after cleansing, close out the pores and prepare the skin for the next step. Some product ranges have toners for both dry or oily skin, so choose the right one for you.
Step 3. Day/Night Serums to provide the anti-oxidants needed to repair and protect the skin from pigmentation damage in the day. Usually only required from ages 30 and above.
Step 4. Day/Night Moisturisers to hydrate and protect the skin from the outside in.
Step 5. A good physical (not chemical) UVA/UVB rated sunblock with SPF 46 rating is required, especially for the tropical sun and UVA radiation from flourescent lights.
Daily Anti-aging and skin treatment regime:-
Green Tea Oil - Anti-aging, anti-bacterial, anti-septic, anti-fungal and fat burning for face and body shaping and cellulite removal.
Weekly Anti-aging and skin treatment Regime:-
Exfoliate: Use a Mineral Mask to remove the dead cells from the skin surface, lift the toxins from within the pores, and providing copper to the skin to lift and firm the skin. Those with aspirations to have the Perfect Skin, will discover the benefits of masking twice or even thrice per week.
Pigmentation and wrinkle removal: Use a Retinol serum 2-3 times a week to lighten pigmentation and to erase fine lines and wrinkles.

The Basics of Acne Break-outs
After receiving so many questions related to ACNE, it is with pleasure that I highlight the basics of breakouts in this brief, yet informative article.
Acne is a disease and arguably one of the most complex diseases to treat. It is physically and emotionally devastating. There is no single disease that I can think of that causes more emotional damage or more insecurity and feelings of inferiority. Ultimately, hormones are usually to blame.
Increased production of sex hormones is the primary stimulus, especially testosterone. These androgens enter the blood stream and affect the sebaceous glands in the follicles of the skin. The sebaceous glands secrete sebum, which softens and lubricates the skin, however, the overproduction of these androgens stimulate the glands to produce more sebum. Ultimately, this sebum moves toward the skins surface and this is where the complications occur.
The follicle starts to get "plugged" with hair, sebum, bacteria, dead skin cells and other debris. The plug swells as the material accumulates and is pushed out to the surface of the skin resulting in a whitehead. When this whitehead reaches the surfaces and oxidizes, in conjunction with the presence of melanin, we have a blackhead.
A microorganism, such as P. Acnes, consumes the sebum and release enzymes, which break down the fatty acids further irritating the skin. The tissue reddens, becomes inflamed and papules appear. The body goes into overdrive trying to defend itself with white blood cells and as these white blood cells die, pimples and nodules start to develop.
Beneficial treatments I recommend are 2 prong - Nutritional and Skincare.
Nutritional:-
Do an internal cleansing using Nature's Tea, Red Clover Plus, Paraway Plus and SuperChlorophyll for 30 days.
After cleansing, drink Superchlorophyll and LifAloe daily, to balance the high acidity levels.
Skincare:-
Day time - cleanse face using a mild Creamy Cleanser, Hydrating Refiner and apply Dr Berman's Aboriginal Gold Skin Comforting creme.
Night Time - cleanse face using a mild Creamy Cleanser, Hydrating Refiner and apply the Anti-bacterial, Anti-septic Green Tea Oil.
Twice weekly - apply Dr Berman's Mineral Mask to draw out the toxins from the face.
You will stop the acne break-outs and will smoothen the skin, reduce the pores and lighten the scars with this simple skincare regime.

Skin Food - eat right to feed your skin
Have you heard the overstated line that “you are what you eat?” It is true; our skin is a mirror of the internal body and vice-versa. So let’s look at a few interesting foods…
Blueberries – containing an extremely high concentration of antioxidants, they have been known to deactivate many carcinogens! Also, blueberries contain a compound called anthocyanosides, which work to help the body prevent heart disease and slow the effects of aging on the organs. And remember, the skin is an organ!
Chocolate – many things may come to mind with this food, but let’s talk about the altered state one feels after indulging in a fine piece of sinfully delicious chocolate. Loaded with a compound called phenylethylamine, the indulgent treat of choice for many is widely argued to actually elevate the sense of well-being.
Green Tea, fact or fiction? Based on my studies, fact! Polyphenols are the antioxidants that are found in green tea. Scientific studies have shown that polyphenols help prevent cancerous cells from multiplying. Beware, drinking your tea with milk binds the proteins and thus cancels the benefit!
Shrimp, sardines, yogurt and salmon all have this in common… CALCIUM! Yep, calcium! It strengthens your bones, which keeps your bones dense and posture proper. It also enables you to maintain an active exercise regimen, which will keep you with a gorgeous glowing skin!
Salmon is rich in Vitamin D, which helps the bones absorb calcium.
It is that exercise issue again! Rise and shine at 5AM and get your blood flowing! Not to mention it helps keep your hair and skin healthy.
Then we have Vitamin C which is found in berries, broccoli, citrus fruits and even tomatoes! It is the supervitamin! It boosts immunity and is essential for good skin.
And if you think all these foods are too expensive, there are supplements like Salmon Omega 3 Oil, Bio-C - 4 different and natural forms of vitamin C, Calcium Magnesium Complex and Daily Produce 24 - antioxidants from 24 fruits and vegetables, and the first in the world Green Tea Oil for your skin and hair.

UVA rays cause premature aging
UVA & UVB Rays and Aging
There is no arguing the fact that sunshine is one of the most important ingredients for the ultimate summer experience, but that “healthy glow” of summer is deceiving; further, it is decidedly unhealthy.
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, most sun exposure occurs before the age of 20, when the skin is more vulnerable. Sunburn is caused by Ultraviolet Radiation (UVA, UVB and UVC rays). Skin, whether light or dark, can and will burn, given enough sun exposure.
Though we often see no immediate damage or scarring to the skin, you may rest assured that there is a price to pay in the long run. Over exposure can cause most forms of skin cancer as well as many signs of skin aging.
According to leading authorities on UVA & UVB rays, people should stay out of the direct sun from 11 a.m and 3 p.m., when 70% of the harmful ultraviolet radiation occurs. Babies up to 6 months should be shielded from the sun entirely and should only be exposed to a physical and not chemical UVA/UVB block.
In order to protect our skin, we need to wear sunblock daily, on all exposed areas and avoid “baking” in the sun. Additionally, when we know we will be enjoying water sports, sunblock should be reapplied every 2 hours.
Sunblocks are not all created equal. The rank of a good sunscreen depends on the ingredients, not the number on the bottle. The three most effective ingredients are titanium dioxide, zinc oxide and parasol. Use a sunscreen that is “broad spectrum” – meaning it protects against both UVA and UVB rays, and at all cost, avoid PABA.
E International UVA UVB SPF 46 sunblock is not greasy, nor does it inhibit the application of make-up. ! Invest in one today and if it's good enough for your baby's skin, it's good enough for you!.

Understanding Vit A treatment and why Retinol Serum is best for you
Retinol, which is an active ingredient in both of Dr. Berman’s products, is a derivative of Vitamin A. Retinol is enzymatically converted in the human skin to Retinoic Acid, yet another form or derivative of Vitamin A. Vitamin A is a family of fat-soluble vitamins known to be “one of the most important Vitamins” as reported by the National Institutes of Health in December of 2001.
In reference to the skin scientific studies show that Retinol is an ingredient that mitigates collagen degradation produced by UV light, stimulates cell division and epidermal growth. Reported based on a study by the Dermatology Times in July of 2000, the scientist ruled that Retinol will induce “improvement in the visible signs of aging when used on a daily basis.”

What about pimples around the chin area?
I've been asked many times about pimples appearing around the chin area, long after the teenage years!.
I see lots of ladies with this similar problem area, and my advice is this - wash your mouth and chin area after each meal, and make sure your partner washes his beard before kissing. hehehe.
Seriously now, the main reason pimples appear around the chin area is due to a toxic liver. So if you drink alcohol, or take lots of panadol or anti-boitics in your younger years. it's time to do a liver cleanse.
There are 2 supplements from USA that do a safe and effective job to cleanse your liver and you should consider it seriously.
SuperChlorophyll is chlorophyllin from Alfalfa and Red Clover Plus is a combination of 14 different herbs, to nourish and cleanse the liver.
I've written a blog on the 17 reasons you should drink Superchlorophyll - go read it here.
You can say goodbye to your pimples around your chin area permanently!

Bumps and pimples around your hairline?
Most people that consult me, have tiny bumps and pimples around their forehead, ear and chin areas.
If you experience this often, its time to change your hair dye, your shampoo, conditioner, hair spray, stylers and gels. The chemicals in these products you use, can irritate your skin and can cause redness & pimples.
Some ladies tell me their hair does not touch their face - yes day time correct. But when you sleep - is your hair tied up and in a shower cap?. Or will your hair cover your face and press against your pillow?
The price to pay for a flawless, young looking, problem free skin, is to use all natural hair products, with no mineral oils, preservatives, chemicals, colours and synthetic fragrances.
Be Hair - all plant based ingredients should be your choice and you can see the improvements to your face!
