After cleansing with all-natural citrus herbal cleanser,
Karen lightly steams and exfoliates the skin with an organic
grape-seed facial scrub.
She then applies a light fruit-acid to prepare
the skin for
better absorption of the acai berry, which is applied as
a decadent mask.
This is followed by an Epicuren Acidopholis
Probiotic facial cream, which is infused into the skin with
a hypobaric oxygen
nebulizer.
Finally, clients are treated to a bottle of Mona
Vie™ - an acai-based elixir to drink at home in order to
continue the healing and wellness offered by the acai berry
- from the inside out.
Antioxidants Combat the Signs of Aging, Sun Damage and Acne.
As one of the highest antioxidant content
fruits in the world , the acai berry
has the ability to fight off the cellular mutation caused by free radicals -
lessening their ability to cause wrinkled skin and other skin problems.
Essential Amino and Fatty Acids Boost the Power to Heal and Sustain.
The acai berry contains amino and essential fatty acids recognized for their powerful effects on health. These include omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids, which are vital to proper cell contraction and regeneration, enabling skin cell systems to better combat the signs of aging. The berry also contains a monounsaturated oleic acid, which can help the body to absorb omega-3 oil through the cell membrane more effectively.

Anthocyanins Protect Skin's Connective Tissues and
Repair Damaged Proteins.
Experts have discovered that the acai berry contains up
to thirty times the quantity of the complex antioxidants known
as anthocyanins present in an equal volume of red wine.
The anthocyanins-rich berry boots the skin's ability to prevent oxidants
from harming connective
tissues, while also repairing damaged proteins.

Phytosterols Preserve Collagen.
Phytosterols Preserve Collagen. The phytosterols which
occur naturally in the acai berry protect skin's collagen-a
property vital to youthful looking skin. When applied topically
phytosterols can improve skin tone and texture.
Flavanoids Fight Inflammation.
Flavanoids, which are found in abundance in the acai berry,
are known for their
anti-inflammatory properties. Inflammation causes pores to become thick and swollen,
making them more likely to become clogged and acne-prone. Inflamed pores can
also break down the matrix of collagen, which can form wrinkles. When applied
topically to the skin, flavanoids act as astringent, contracting and tightening
tissues to avoid skin problems.
Phytonutrients, Vitamins and Minerals Promote Overall Cell Health.
Acai berries contain phytonutrients-nutrition for the skin-and
minerals such as potassium, iron, phosphorus, and calcium. They also
posses more proteins than an egg, and vitamin B1, B2, B3, C and E.
