Turn back the hands of time with an Antioxidant Acai Facial
What’s the hot new trend in skin care? Acai facials! The superfruit of the Amazon is now being touted for its success in turning back the hands of time for our skin. This nutricosmetics trend started evolving from the launch of food and drink products marketed on the strength of their beautifying properties by providing natural formulations. Using pure forms of acai berries help nourish the skin and give it the power to fight aging, acne, and other skin conditions.
In a study conducted by AIBMR Life Sciences back in 2006, açai was shown to top the antioxidant rankings having the highest ORAC antioxidant value of any food. Since acai is rich in antioxidants, doing an açai berry facial promotes healthy skin cell health while also allowing the skin to regenerate itself by infusing it with essential amino and fatty acids and phytosterols to preserve collagen.
The acai facial trend began in the heart of the OC in California, home to many acai berry independent distributors who shared these products with their spa technician friends. But you don’t have to live in California to enjoy the incredible benefits of this trend because anyone can have their own acai facial right at home. Me and my friends get together and do a “purple face” painting party. You can do your own facials with MonaVie Gel Packs, the gel formulation of the popular beverage and the most cost effective way to experience an acai facial. MonaVie Gel Packs are usually used as substitute for the juice when you aren’t near a refrigerator but with all of the antioxidants and amazing nutrition in MonaVie, it’s no wonder it works just as well in a topical application. Here’s a quick how to:
- On a cleansed face, open up a MonaVie acai gel pack. We like the Active formula with liquid glucosamine or the Pulse formula with the anti-aging property resveratrol. Slather a thin layer of MonaVie all over your face. The best part is since MonaVie is all natural and only contains acai and other fruits, you can safely put it on your eyelids and attack those troubled wrinkle spots head on.
- After covering your entire face, wait about 20 minutes and let the acai dry. You will feel a tightening of the skin. Next we like to spray or mist a little bit of toner on our faces and give it another 10 minutes or so to tighten again.
- To remove, splash your face with cool to lukewarm water and then simply take a washcloth or sponge to wipe off the rest.
- Now admire yourself in the mirror. We are sure you will notice a major difference even after just one facial. Your skin will feel refreshed, dewy and lifted. Touch your skin and it will feel super silky and smooth. Your pores will look clean and tighter. You might be wondering “Who is that staring back at me?”
- Repeat this facial at least 2 to 3 times a week and you will start to see a BIG difference in the texture and tightness of skin. What you are doing is infusing your skin with a one-two-three punch of powerful antioxidants which boost collagen production and cell turnover.
- One gel pack goes a long way so you probably only need to use about 1/3 of it. Take the rest of the pack and seal it up in a ziplock and keep it in the fridge for your next facial applications. Get together with girlfriends and make it a fun night with acai facials and acai cosmos!
