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-modified
What 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 .
