Skin Accumax FAQ - Healthy Skin from the Inside Out!



Eight weeks ago The Skincare Studio launched a Client Study of the skincare supplement Skin Accumax. We have already seen some interesting and positive results. 

We would like to take this time to answer some Frequently Asked Questions:


What is Skin Accumax?
Skin Accumax is a skincare supplement that is suitable for all skin types as well as problem skin. As it works from the inside, not only your face but the skin all over your body will reveal its natural radiance. 

What makes Skin Accumax different from other supplements?
Scientists have blended a very specific combination of vitamins with a special phytonutrient identified in cruciferous vegetables. This precise concentration of active ingredients has a powerful effect on the health of the skin.

Does Skin Accumax contain wheat?
SA has no wheat or gluten-containing ingredients. It has no added yeast, dairy products, artificial flavorings or coloring. 

Is Skin Accumax cruelty-free?
Yes, it has not been tested on animals and is suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

Do I need to tell my doctor/dermatologist if I start taking Skin Accumax?
If you are under any medical supervision for any condition, you should always tell your doctor if you're taking any type of supplements. SA should not interfere with vitamins you are already taking but if you have any concerns speak to your doctor or nutritionist.

Will Skin Accumax help skin conditions other than acne such as eczema and rosacea?
SA is a skin nutrient supplement so it helps skin health in general. People who have tried SA for rosacea have reported good results.

Who can take Skin Accumax?
We have seen positive effects on both male and females. Pregnant or breast-feeding women and women who are planning pregnancy should not take SA.

Does it cure acne?
No. From what our years of experienced has shown us, nothing can cure acne. However, it does help control acne. You may want to stop taking SA once you have your breakouts under control. If the acne comes back, you may want to start taking it again.

Is Skin Accumax good for anti-aging?
Yes. It has anti-aging attributes because it contains vitamin A which contributes to collagen formation and pigmentation normalization.

I've heard Vitamin A can become toxic. What are the levels in Skin Accumax?
4 capsules provide 2666 ius (international units). The recommended daily allowance is 3,000 ius, which is the minimum not the maximum. The upper tolerable level for vitamin A is 10,000 ius.

Does it really work?
Everyone's skin is so different and unique so the only way to find out if it works for you is to take the course. However, we can tell you that we've seen some amazing results - even with people who've had skin issues for a long time and have tried other things.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


The two subjects who are participating in our Client Study of Skin Accumax have so far noticed positive results in their skin. 


Client #1 (male) has seen a significant decrease in bigger painful breakouts and when there is a breakout it seems to go away a lot faster than before. He also has some aggressive cystic acne that started to clear up around week 5. He experienced reduced redness and less oily skin. Also, the persistent acne on his chest and back has almost completely cleared up. 



Client #2 (female) has been having fewer breakouts over the last few weeks and when she does have a break out it goes away within a day or two. Early on in the study the client noticed her hair was a lot softer. Discoloration due to acne scaring has been significantly diminished since starting Skin Accumax. 


Both clients have happily reported that they have been receiving more and more compliments on their skin!

Fall FUN & Trends




It's one of our favorite times of year, here at The Studio.  Warm golden days phase into crisp starry nights.  It's October and FALL has officially made its fashionable entrance! This is a fabulous time of year to re-evaluate your make-up bag.  Tuck away the floral lavenders, vivid pinks, oceanic blues and bright corals of Summer.  It's time to embrace fresh Fall trends.  This season you will notice colors warming up with toasty browns, warm golds, and deep berry tones.  And don't be surprised if you see bright jewel tones and sparkling silvers paired with rich reds.


SPARKLY BROWN LIPS


Go for a sparkly brown lip using Jane Iredale's Sienna lip definer, PureMoist lipstick in Kaylee, topped with sparkling Sangria PureGloss.  Lauren PureMoist lipstick is also a great color for this look.


EDGY SILVER SHADOW


For an edgy futuristic look use our Eye Gloss in Grey Silk enhanced with Crushed Ice PurePressed eye shadow.  Top it with a dash of 24 Karat shimmer powder in Silver. Don't forget to define those eyes using Smoky Quartz Mystikol. And layer those lashes with Black Ice Longest Lash mascara.


THE BRONZE SMOKY EYE


This look hit the runway at the Oscar de la Renta Fall 2014 show.  Commonly called the "brown smoky eye", we have perfected this look known as the "Bronze Smoky Eye", here at The Studio.  This look can be accomplished using our Brown Silk Eye Gloss, Dark Topaz Mystikol, Double Espresso PurePressed shadow, and Black/Brown eye liner.  Dress up that smoky eye with a pop of 24 Karat shimmer powder in Gold! Make sure your eyebrows don't get left out in the Autumn cold!  Use our Bitty Brow kit to complete this look!


DEEP BERRY LIPS


If you've never rocked a berry lip, now is the time to give it a try.  We have a variety of shades to pair with a variety of skin tones.  Annette (pictured above) is a beautiful deep berry shade that works well for deeper skin tones.  Those with lighter complexions may want to try our new PureMoist lipstick in Katerina. Both look great with our Berry Lip Definer. 

You can try any of these looks and products by scheduling a FREE make-up consultation with one of our professional make-up artists.

Controling Acne - Skin Accumax...a Skincare Nutrient!



Skin Accumax is a skincare supplement that is suitable for all skin types as well as problem skin. As it works from the inside out, not only your face but the skin all over your body will reveal its natural radiance.

Scientists have blended a very specific combination of vitamins (A,C, and E) with a special phytonutrient identified in cruciferous vegetables. This precise concentration of active ingredients has a powerful effect on the health of the skin.

Skin Accumax contains no wheat or gluten ingredients. It has no added yeast, dairy products, artificial flavorings or coloring. It has not been tested on animals and is suitable for vegetarians and vegans.







Skin Accumax - Our Clinical Study

We are now 5 weeks into our study of Skin Accumax here at The Skincare Studio. Our two clients have been taking the supplement twice a day for five weeks, and we have already seen some interesting results! 


Client #1 - Daily skincare regime: Jan Marini Skincare Managment System plus Duality. 


With the first week of using Skin Accumax, client # 1 experienced reduced redness and smoother skin texture. 
Going into the second and third week the client noticed an increase in breakouts. This is normal for him but the supplement could also have been bringing dormant acne to the surface.  
During week 3 the client got a Glycolic resurfacing peel.
Week four is when the client noticed significantly clearer skin around his neck and back, it has continued to heal in those areas with overall smoother healthier looking skin.  In week four there was some significant peeling, due to the resurfacing peel. But by week 5 the client has had little to no big breakouts and had better overall skin texture.



Client #2 - Daily skincare regime: Over the counter face wash. 

At the start of week one the client came down with a 24 hour flu which caused the client to become dehydrated and unable to take Skin Accumax for 36 hours. 
Going into week 2 the client and esthetician noticed significant dryness all over the skin, which was most likely due to dehydration from the flu. 
By week three the client noticed her hair was a lot softer, she had less redness all over her skin, and her breakouts were fewer and far between. Now in week five she noticed that whenever she did have a breakout, it healed a lot quicker without her having to do anything. Overall her skin looks healthier and smoother. 







We are so excited to see what the next month will bring for our clients! They are pleased with the results they have seen so far. Going into this new treatment program with the understanding that it could potentially heal their skin problems but knowing that it would take time gave them both healthy expectations. It is important to note that Skin Accumax does not CURE acne (as far as we know there is nothing out there that does). What it does is helps to CONTROL acne.

Skin Accumax isn't just for those who struggle with acne. It is a skin nutrient so it helps skin health in general. We have seen positive results on both men and women. People who struggle with rosacea have tried it and reported good results. It contains Vitamin A which contributes to collagen formation (sagging, sallow skin) and pigmentation normalization (age spots). It also helps balance sebum so the skin is less oily, without drying it out.
