DISCOVER THE BENEFITS OF A PRO TREATMENT : the primary difference between a Professional Treatment and our Personal (at home) System is the depth of penetration and the subsequent biological factors that are triggered. A 0.5mm Roller reaches the dermis and creates a micro-trauma. It is this minor injury that signals our body to repair itself; and in doing so new #collagen is formed. A non-invasive procedure that stimulates and activates the body’s natural rejuvenation process without removing or destroying any of the skin’s inherent biological structures. Or as we like to call it … ‘ the less is way more approach to building healthy skin ’nnINTERESTED IN LEARNING MORE? - visit any one of our certified locations - http://skinvacious.com/locations/ - ( and let them know Vanessa sent you )
If you don’t find the time to slow down there may just come a day when you can no longer keep up. Exposing your skin to too many products and increasingly aggressive treatments may in fact be doing irreparable harm to the only layer we have to protect us. Slow down. Find a balance. Rest. Give your body time to recover. It’s as important a step as any other.
Directing too much attention to one aspect concern attribute or area of your skin is a very limiting approach. The structures of the skin coexist within a fragile and interdependent environment and in the absence of balance healthy skin rejuvenation can not take place. In many cases this inequity of attention from a long term perspective does more harm than good. Continuing to disrupt the natural activities of the body only lead to more issues and bigger problems. The skinVacious revitalization system does one thing really really well … it builds healthy skin. And healthy skin - as we all know - is less susceptible to problems issues and concerns.
To have healthy skin one must respect and support ALL of the structures within the skin. It’s a symbiotic system. The parts co-exist for a reason. Addressing one and not another creates an imbalance. Imbalance leads to (insert any number of skin issues) … It’s time to rethink skincare. #skinspiration courtesy @silvialicius
And apparently it’s #NationalCoffeeDay. Did you know that … #coffee is a good source of antioxidants. Good way to fortify your DNA and fight against free radicals - which also means it’s a benevolent beneficial for our skin. Everything in moderation mind you. Coffee also spikes adrenalin levels and has been known to boost both physical and mental performance. All by activating our biology. Starting to see a pattern here? Healthy skin begins within … and #STARTSWITHYOU
Wetsuits are typically made from foamed neoprene which are worn by those engaged in water sports to provide thermal insulation abrasion resistance and added buoyancy. In other words a technical garment that performs a very specific function - much like your skin itself. Which is why it is all that more important to care for your skin in a way that works with and not against its natural biology. And @itsnotsonia certainly wears that wetsuit very, very, well ❣️
⚡️ ❣️ 1. STIMULATE 2. NOURISH 3. PROTECT 4. LIVE THE LIFE YOU WERE BORN TO LIVE ( we can help you with the first 3 - the 4th is all you ) Healthy skin heightens the senses and amplifies the connection to the world around us. It’s time to stop focusing on the surface and instead begin being building a stronger sustainable foundation.
… we must first understand that adopting a holistic approach is less about focusing on correcting specific skin conditions and more about promoting nourishing and building a healthy natural and sustainable base so that our biology our inherent rejuvenation process can clear things up and put an end to issues long before they get the chance to … ↩︎
“You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.” - Steve Jobs Just about all skin conditions arise from cellular dysfunction and disconnection. Activate your skin’s biology; start connecting the dots.

just a device that when used properly has the power to inspire to educate to entertain … and in some cases trigger a cascade of events that stimulate change … Skin Rolling stimulates a cascade of biologically beneficial micro-occurrences within the skin … increased oxygenation increased circulation increased cell to cell communication and ultimately vastly improved rejuvenation. Small things that when multiplied - translate into big results.
Slow and steady steps will take you anywhere you decide to go. The goal of any skincare routine lies fostering a healthy cellular structure. And that involves a commitment to a simple routine that builds and binds the basic structure of the skin. Less sidesteps more forward motion. Less harm more healthy. Less jumping around more roll.

hello #sunshine … ☀️ also known as vitamin D. Human skin makes large amounts of vitamin D when it is exposed to a sun that is high in the sky. The body is designed to manufacture the #vitaminD it needs by producing it when your bare skin is exposed to sunlight. #Ultraviolet B (UVB) - the part of the sun’s rays that are important to this process.
★ PORTMANTEAU: a single word combining the meanings and blending the sounds of two other #words ★ sort of like #skincare (skin+care) or #skinspiration (skin+inspiration) or #microneedles (microscopic+needles) or #instagram (instant+tele/phono…gram) … and let us not forget #skinVacious (skin+vivacious) … attractive active lively vibrant spirited energized
Mobile devices for a mobile species. Humans were made to move. Every single cell in our body eventually dies and is replaced by a new cell. In fact we practically rebuild ourselves every two years. Making today so important - literally an opportunity to build a better you. It’s time to stop limiting ourselves with this short-sighted one time one off way of thinking and instead start establishing the habits and routines that result in a stronger healthier us.
#selfie ? (sort of) … more of a curious close up to show you just how small (micro) the needles actually are. And a reminder that using the Personal Skin Roller does not hurt. It’s a stimulating type sensation similar to using a topical exfoliator. The first few passes / uses (like any new sensation) is usually when you’ll notice the microneedles the most. That’s also why we recommend starting slow - a couple of times a week with only a few passes in each direction until the skin becomes comfortable and accustomed to rolling. In time the sensation diminishes as the skin becomes stronger and healthier. It’s the little things that often make the biggest difference. Give your skin the attention it deserves. Start rolling today.
When it comes to individual skin conditions or concerns inline with our holistic philosophy we don’t recommend placing all of your eggs in one basket. ;) Every person’s situation is different and hence requires a homologous approach.nWe do however highly recommend that you use our products (we’ve kept it simple) together as our skincare is uniquely formulated and tested to work in unison with our skin roller. Minimal steps - 1. STIMULATE 2. NOURISH 3. PROTECT to maximize results. And remember healthy skin is always your best preemptive measure to combat skin problems and issues.
The insta-streams have been all a glow with the highly stylized outfits that go hand in accessorized hand at the #Coachella music festival. A celebration of fashion trends and unabashed displays of individuality. And of course lots and lots of beautiful #skinspiration like this fervent frame from @camilacoelho
THE SCIENCE OF SKIN: Hyaluronic Acid (HA) has the ability to bind up to 1000x its weight in water. As we age our natural production of #HA decreases making it important for us to replenish this essential element. ☛ About 50% of the HA found in our body resides in the skin. Our Revitalization Serum includes plant based Hyaluronic Acid; ideal for replenishing the body’s natural supply and supplying nourishment to the cells. This allows the skin to retain moisture and provides volume form shape and lift.
Cell to cell communication activated. The human body is such a powerful thing. Feed it nurture it take care of it. It’s yours alone. @alina_tumach Skin being our bodies largest organ protects us but it too requires patience and protection. Healthy skin actually requires far less than what we might think or have been conditioned to believe.
The Personal Skin Roller stimulates and prepares the skin. Boosts in oxygenation increases in circulation and the creation of thousands of micro-channels allow for both elevated infusion rates and more vigorous rejuvenation . The result is a much more effective method of skincare delivery and activation of nutrients.
Green Tea + Skin = Good. Its Antioxidant anti-inflammatory healing qualities are all reasons we use it in our Revitalization Serum. And for those interested in adding a little extra goodness to their diet here’s an interesting tip from @pearlology_ … studies have shown that hotter water (3-4 minute brewing time) and the use of powder or loose leaf teas contributes to higher nutritional benefits.
STIMULATE - raise the level of physiological activity in the body ⚡︎⚡︎⚡︎ The catalyst - Personal Skin Roller - starts it all by stimulating the skin increasing #circulation boosting #oxygenation #energizing the cells and creating micro-channels through which the infusion of nutrients can flow. The results are a system that is both active and receiving nourishment levels far above what traditional means can deliver. Add it up do the math and remember the results are cumulative.
All plants and animals employ a partially permeable surface membrane to help control what substances get in and out. The micro-causeways created from microneedling dramatically increase the percentage of nutrients that get infused. This is also why it is neccessary to use skincare that is specifically formulated and intended for this type of use.
Sometimes you just have to look at things from a different angle to gain a better understanding of what’s really going on … tiny needles massaging the skin stimulating blood flow boosting oxygenation creating thousands of micro-causeways (insert deep breath) permitting our all natural skincare products (serum + oil) to be infused deep into the skin allowing active ingredients to truly get #active and nourish the skin at a cellular level; which is a whole lot better than passively sitting on top (exhale) …
tired of tired looking skin? … rather than simply adding yet another layer on top start by stimulating what’s underneath … rolling of the skin increases oxygenation boosts microcirculation and ‘awakens’ the cells … strengthening the structure translates into soft evenly pigmented #radiant skin - it’s time to rethink the way we ‘look’ at skincare.
These things are good: ice cream and cake a ride on a Harley seeing monkeys in the trees the rain on my tongue and the sun shining on my face. These things are a drag: dust in my hair holes in my shoes no money in my pocket and the sun shining on my face. - Rocky Dennis Mask (1985) Not sure ‘exactly’ what this has to do with skincare … maybe everything. Cool photo that reminded us of this rather poignant quote courtesy of the aMUSE(ing) @alexkerr - check her out for #skinspiration
Up, down, left, right, and #diagonal … the direction you roll is as unique as you are (as it should be). The important thing is that you adequately cover the skin and create enough micro-channels for the skincare to penetrate permeate and activate at the cellular level. Yep it really is time to rethink skincare.
"under my umbrella ... hey hey" Outside of being a nifty #fashion accessory or a popular lyrical metaphor the function of an umbrella is to keep the elements out - sort of like the protective barrier that is built into our skin and is the reason why straight application of ‘topical’ skincare fails to penetrate the surface of the skin and ends up evaporating into the air. And doesn’t #Rihanna look good - that’s #skinspiration
Just a #reminder to keep things simple - and to #roll. Because the skinVacious skincare system activates and works in harmony with the skin’s natural processes results are cumulative. Think #fitness or #nutrition or #education. And cumulative benefits mean that with regular use the results will be healthier stronger skin that by nature is less susceptible to problems. And now you know why we’re there to #remind you . Let’s get proactive with our skincare routine in 2017.
Remember cold weather means less humidity; which leads to skin that receives less natural nourishment. This slows the renewal of skin cells which can leave faces looking dull and tired. Increase the #moisture levels by keeping the circulation active and providing a little ‘extra’ skincare layer when and where you need it most. Prepare for the #winter weather so you can get out there and enjoy it. ❄️
Healthy radiant #skin is not something that magically arrives all wrapped up over the #Holidays but that does not mean we can’t help get things started … so in the spirit of giving we’ve bundled our full size Revitalization System - 1. Personal Skin Roller 2. Revitalization Serum 3. Essential Face Oil … and left $45 extra dollars in your stocking. Happy Holidays Everyone. Healthy Skin Begins With You.

wow … “The single most beautiful thing a woman can be is confident. It’s not found in a beauty cream nor material things it’s not your hair colour or what you’re wearing. In my new book I’ll begin to open up to you about my past struggles on self-image. My Mom always told me “Candice just have confidence and you’ll have it all.” I didn’t believe it until now. But confidence is like a muscle you’ve got to use it exercise it and practice. If there was one thing I could wish for all of us women it would be for us all to feel more beautiful with age. I’ve only got better with time. I’ve focused inward on my heart mind and soul much more than the exterior. And with that beauty will radiate from the inside-out. Have confidence in you and you’ll radiate you’ll attract you’ll shine. Everyone will want to be around you.” - @candicekumai

“Google it - it’s great. It’s like a little wheel that has little pins like acupuncture needles in a way and you roll it and it stimulates your collagen and it also allows your products to seep into the skin” … thanks Jenn (and you look fabulous as ever) dare we say #skinspiration (insert Friends jingle )
“I do micro-needling. I learned about it from a facialist in New York. It allows serums and whatever products you’re using to really soak in” Jennifer Aniston - we’d add that it is important to use products specifically formulated for skin rolling - clean natural and designed to work in unison with the skin’s biology.
Crossing out the possibilities of a face lift or cosmetic surgery #JenniferAniston stated in a recent interview that derma (skin) rolling is the closest she will ever go to when it comes to taking intense care of her skin. nnSkin Rolling has an intense exfoliation like effect on the skin; improves blood circulation encourages collagen & elastin production regenerates new skin cells and has an overall re-texturizing effect.
rolling in the evening #coffee in the morning … the folks at #skinV recommend using the roller in the evening. As the rolling increases circulation the skin can become a little flushed not to worry this subsides within hours. Overnight is also when repair and rejuvenation take place so an ideal time to increase circulation and infuse nutrients. Wake up with healthier skin!
We get asked a lot about whether more needles is better? And the answer is no. The picture tells the story. Assuming the needles (or nails) are numerous enough the weight is distributed between them so that the pressure exerted by each needle is not enough to puncture the skin. Answers to more FAQs can be found online.
