March 22, 2009

My Dearest Velma:

I would be remiss if I did not take a moment to thank you for introducing me to Glimpse. I have been using Glimpse since December 13, 2008 (I asked for it as an early Christmas present) from my husband as I knew how strongly you believed in this product.

Skeptical... YES I WAS... the first month I experienced flushing (redness) every evening after doing my regime. I thought OK it's doing something as I know it takes approximately 28 days for the skin to replenish or whatever... second month... nothing much… of course I was expecting to look like I had just gotten back from a Palm Spring face-lift clinic.

I continued using the product and truly did not notice a real difference. I was getting comments like "wow you've lost weight" My response NO I've gained 4 lovely Christmas Pounds.

Then I got comments Wow I love your hair... I haven't changed my hair.

I still was checking in my magnifying glass a number of times a day. Still I did not witness lines and wrinkles magically disappearing... but realized I JUST LOOKED A LITTLE BETTER… a little less tired, a little less OLD.. I am 62 and feel 42 and now I think I look 52 (LOL) but seriously... this is amazing...

I had a LARGE mole (not sure of the medical term) anyway noticed it was getting bigger and changing color... while visiting my GP had him take a look and he said it was too large for him to remove but he would make an appointment with a plastic surgeon.

Being in Canada, this is NOT covered by medical and of course the wait lists are outrageous. They called me to tell me I have an appointment June 10th.

My GP also told me that it would change my looks a little as they would have to remove QUITE A CHUNK... anyway I continued on with my Glimpse morning and night and all of a sudden the perimeter of the mole started getting white, dry and flaky... hummmm what is this.. and then it got very dry and within days (after my Drs. visit) it disappeared..

It is hard to explain but it was just GONE.. a little mark still remains (it is on my right temple) and my hair pretty well covered it... but it bothered me... I hated that big barnacle.

I was a little concerned about the cost as I have never been one to spend big bucks on skin care products… and then realized this costs less then a cup of STARBUCKS a day ... and as they say I am worth it... but seriously this plastic surgery was going to cost $1,500 to $2,000.

I am not saying this would work for everyone I just know that I am delighted it worked for me. Thank you so much for caring enough to share Glimpse with me.

Before And After Testimonials

Jadyn McLeod testimonial

For the past 8 years acne has had a grip on my life. I've tried glycolic acid, lactic acid, salicylic acid, chemical peels, facials, microdermabrasion, masks, serums, creams, pastes and powders( just to name a few). I earned a license in Esthetics, removed all metal fillings from my mouth and have drastically changed my diet numerous times in hopes of uncovering the secret to my skin problems. Thousands of dollars and many years later my breakouts are still persistent and unpredictable. Social isolation, a feeling of hopelessness and many tears are just a few of the side effects associated with chronic acne.

The first time I tried Glimpse was on a day like most others. I examined a moderate breakout around my mouth and jaw line along with very dry cheeks. I started using the product on a Friday morning and to my amazement started seeing results within the first 24 hours. My skin felt calm, nourished and for the first time in a long time...it felt GOOD! Today my skin has no flaky dryness and my breakouts have cleared by approximately 85%. It has only been 4 DAYS!!! That's right, today is Tuesday and I am filled with joy and excitement. I am thrilled with my results and simply can't wait to see what the future weeks and months will hold for me and my skin.

Thank you Xango for keeping health in mind while providing the most effective skin care product that I have ever used!

The Dirty Dozen...

The Dirty Dozen...

Ingredients to AVOID in personal care products.

What you put on your skin can go into your body to affect your health and sense of well-being - either negatively or positively. You can choose which. . . . if you know the facts (which the "cosmetic conspiracy" wants to hide from you). As our body's biggest organ, your Skin is your most important immune defense barrier as well as your largest organ for eliminating waste. Commercial products with harmful petroleum ingredients can plasticize and "constipate" your skin, making germs more likely to get in and toxins less likely to get out of your body.

The result: Neither you nor your skin are as radiant and healthy as you could be! Every day we use products that we think are safe; but the truth is that products are NOT always safe – and manufacturers don't have to tell us so. Ever since 1938 - when the PDA granted self-regulation to the cosmetics industry - such products can be marketed without government approval of ingredients, regardless of what tests show. Most of the 25,000 chemicals used have not been tested for long-term toxic effects. In a typical day, you might be exposed to over 200 different chemicals, many of which are suspected of causing cancer or juggling hormones. EPA tests conclude that ingredients in shampoos, dyes, and other personal care products "maybe playing havoc with hormones that control reproduction and development."

START CHECKING ALL PRODUCT LABELS:AVOID THESE HARMFUL, HAZARDOUS 'TOUCH-ME-NOT" INGREDIENTS!

• Propylene Glycol (PG) and Butylene Glycol: Found in Anti-freeze. Acts as a "surfactant" (wetting agent and solvent). Penetrates skin and weakens protein and cellular structure. Strong enough to remove barnacles from boats! The EPA considers PG so toxic that workers are required to wear protective clothing and to dispose of PG by burying it in the ground. PG penetrates the skin so quickly, the EPA warns against contact to prevent brain, liver, and kidney abnormalities. But there isn't even a warning label on products such as stick deodorants, where the concentration is greater than in most industrial applications.
• Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) & Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES). Detergents that pose serious health threats. Used in garage floor cleaners and engine degreasers - and in 90% of personal-care products that foam. Animals exposed to SLS experience eye damage, depression, labored breathing, diarrhea, severe skin irritation, and even death. Young eyes may not develop properly if exposed to SLS. May damage the skin's immune system. Can be transformed into nitrosamines, a potent class of carcinogens. Your body may retain the SLS for up to five days and maintain residual levels in the heart, liver, lungs, and brain.
• DEA (diethanolamine). MEA (Monoethanolaniine) & TEA (triethanolamine): Hormone-disrupting chemicals that can form cancer-causing nitrates. Restricted in Europe due to carcinogenic effects, yet they are still used in the U.S. Americans may be exposed 10-20 times per day with shampoos, shaving creams and bubble baths. Dr. Samuel Epstein (Professor of Environmental Health at the University of Illinois) says that repeated applications of DEA-based detergents result in major increase in liver and kidney cancer. The PDA's John Bailey says, "the risk is significantly increased for children."
• Sodium Hydroxide: The most recent addition to our personal care products. This is a poison (caustic lye) found in drain cleaners, yet is now found in our children and adult toothpaste!
• Triclosan: Synthetic "antibacterial" with a chemical structure similar to Agent Orange! The EPA registers it as a pesticide, giving it high scores as a risk to human health and the environment. It is in a class of chemicals suspected of causing cancer in humans. It may produce dioxin, a hormone-disrupting chemical with toxic effects measured in the parts per trillion; that is only one drop in 300 Olympic-size swimming pools! Hormone disrupters pose enormous long-term chronic health risks. It can change genetic material, decrease fertility and sexual function, and foster birth defects. Internally, it can lead to cold sweats, circulatory collapse, and convulsions. Stored in body fat, it can accumulate to toxic levels, damaging the liver, kidneys and lungs, and can cause paralysis, brain hemorrhages and heart problems. Tufts University School of Medicine says Triclosan can force the emergence of "super bugs" that it cannot kill. Its widespread use in antibacterial cleansers, toothpastes and household products may have nightmarish implications on future generations.
• DMDM & Urea (Imidazolidinyl): Two of many preservatives that often release formaldehyde which cause joint pain, skin reactions, allergies, depression, headaches, chest pains, ear infections, chronic fatigue, dizziness, and loss of sleep. Exposure also irritates the respiratory system; triggers heart palpitations or asthma, and aggravates coughs and colds. Other side effects include weakening the immune system and cancer.
• Polyethylene Glycol (PEG): Carcinogenic petroleum ingredient that reduces the skin's natural moisture. Increases the appearance of aging and leaves you vulnerable to bacteria. Used in spray-on oven cleaners and cleansers to dissolve oil and grease.Liutane or Propane: Found in aerosol products. May be narcotic and cause asphyxiation.
• Alcohol, Isopropyl (SD-40): Drying, irritating solvent that strips skin's moisture and immune barrier, making you vulnerable to bacteria and viruses. Made from a petroleum derivative found in shellac and antifreeze as well as personal care products. Promotes brown spots and premature aging. A Consumer's Dictionary of Cosmetic Ingredients says it may cause headaches, flushing, dizziness, mental depression, nausea, vomiting, and coma. Fatal ingested dose is one ounce or less.
• Mineral Oil: Petroleum by-product that coats the skin like plastic wrap, clogging the pores. Interferes with skin's ability to eliminate toxins, promoting acne and other disorders. Slows down skin function and cell development, resulting in premature aging. Baby oil is 100% mineral oil!
• FD&C Color Pigments: Synthetic colors from coal tar that deposits toxins onto the skin, causing skin irritation. Absorption of certain colors can cause depletion of oxygen in the body and death. Animal studies have shown almost all of them to be carcinogenic.
• Fragrances: Can contain up to four thousand ingredients (including animal urine), many toxic or carcinogenic. Causes headaches, dizziness, allergic rashes, skin discoloration, violent coughing, vomiting, and skin irritation. Fragrances affect the nervous system, causing depression, hyper activity, irritability, inability to cope, and other behavioral changes.
