Abstract
A skin treatment process designed to reduce the aging process of the skin and to cause the skin to become a semi-permeable membrane. The steps include exfoliation, cleansing, hydration, and oxygenation. By placing solutions ranging from a pH substantially in the range of 4.5 to 8.8 on the skin in a predetermined order, the skin will be able to accept a oxygenated mist of moisturized nutrients on a pore-by-pore basis.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1. A method for nutritionally oxygenating an area of skin, said method comprising the steps of:
(a) exfoliating the skin with:
(a′) an alkalinic solution consisting of 20-25% almond oil, 0.2-0.5% papin, 28-34% potassium chloride soap, 8-12% aloe vera, 0.3-0.7% bromelain, 0.2-0.5% grapefruit extract, 1-3% isotonic saline, and 32-37% water; and
(a″) an acidic solution consisting of 5-9% aloe vera, 0.1-0.3% balm mint extract, 0.2-0.5% allantoin, 0.2-0.4% Hawaiian ginger, 0.7-0.9% chamomile, 87-90% water and 2% hypotonic saline;
(b) cleansing the skin with a bacteriostatic solution consisting of 0.2-0.5% of a mixture of wintergreen, spearmint and peppermint oil, 0.2-0.6% citronella, 0.7-1.0% ergocelciserol, 0.1-0.3% balm mint oil extract, 92-97% water and 2.0-4.0% hypotonic saline;
(c) hydrating the skin with an application of vitamins and minerals consisting of 2 drops of 150 I.U. mycelated d-alpha tocopherol, 3 drops of 75 I.U. mycelated retinol palmitate, 2 drops simmondsia cheninsis, 0.4 drops liquid minerals, 0.03 drops hygroscopic enzymes, 30 drops sterile distilled water and 5 drops hypotonic saline; and
(d) applying molecular nutrients consisting of 0.001 grams purified trace minerals, 3 drops/150 I.U. mycelated retinol palmitate, 3 drops/75 I.U. mycelated d-alpha tocopherol, 3 drops of simmondsia cheninsis, 2.5 ml sterile distilled water and 0.5 ml hypotonic saline and oxygen gas to the skin using an oxygenating nebulizer.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein the alkaline solution has a pH substantially in the range of 8.2 to 8.5.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein the acidic solution has a pH substantially in the range of 4.3 to 4.5.
4. The method of claim 1 wherein step (a′) is applied by massaging the alkalinic solution onto the area of skin.
5. The method of claim 1 wherein step (a″) is applied by massaging the acidic solution onto the area of skin.
6. The method of claim 5 wherein step (a″) is followed by the step of wiping the topical debris from the area treated.
7. A method for nutritionally oxygenating an area of skin, said method comprising the step of:
applying oxygen to an area of skin at a rate of between 5 to 6 liters/minute at a depth of about {fraction ( 1 / 2 )} inch to 1 inch sufficient to allow the absorption of molecular nutrients selected from the group consisting of mycelated retinol palmitate, mycelated d - alpha tocopherol, and simmondsia cheninsis.
8. A method according to claim 7 wherein the oxygen is applied using an atomizer or nebulizer that produces sub- micronic particles of oxygen.
9. A method according to claim 8 wherein the sub- micronic particles are of a size in the range of 0 . 5 - 0 . 9 microns.
10. A method according to claim 7 wherein molecular nutrients are applied with the oxygen.
11. A method according to claim 7 wherein the oxygen in applied so that each skin pore is oxygenated from a range of 1 inch to 1 {fraction ( 1 / 2 )} inch.
12. A method according to claim 7 wherein the oxygen in applied until the skin area is completely saturated.
13. A method according to claim 12 wherein the skin is oxygenated for about 4 - 5 minutes.
14. A method according to claim 7 further including the steps of:
exfoliating the skin;
cleansing the skin; and
hydrating the skin.
15. A method according to claim 14 wherein the exfoliation step includes the application of an alkalinic solution and an acidic solution.
16. A method according to claim 15 wherein the alkalinic solution has a pH substantially in the range of 8 . 2 - 8 . 5 and the acidic solution has a pH substantially in the range of 4 . 3 - 4 . 5 .Cited by (0)
