DMAE – Hows safe is it to use in skincare products?

This question came up for me when I was researching what ingredients I wanted in my skincare line. Because of the great skin-tightening benefits of DMAE, I researched it as thoroughly as I could. Here are my findings:

What is DMAE?

DMAE (Dimethylaminoethanol) is made from fruit acid, a synthetic version in the CFFormulas™ skin care products. It is an organic compound. It is known to instantly tighten the skin and penetrate easily and readily into both skin and hair. The more often it is applied topically - this tightening effect is made stronger.  The skin therefore becomes softer and more elastic with repeated use.

How to Achieve the Build you Want Using the Right Touch with CFF

CFF™ and Technique

CFF™ uses Dr. Frederick Rossiter, M.D.’s technique* of contracting the muscles first and sliding across the skin as one of the main techniques for building an elegant and powerful face and neck with facial exercises. He says since the muscles go through the skin, allowing us to make facial expressions, when you contract the muscles and slide across the skin you not only build muscle fiber, but you tone the muscles at the same time. Plus, as the muscles tone and firm-up, they therefore take the skin up with them.

This has been a very successful technique that allows us to employ muscle resistance to build the muscles and create lift while stimulating the subcutaneous layers, including the fascia. This consequently not only allows us to control the look of the build we want, but it also allows us to get a very smooth and attractive shape to both the face and neck. Using this technique we are also challenging bone which helps to replace bone loss while preventing the bones of the face from deteriorating, as well.

The Face Firmer Massage Technique Blog

Why I added the Face Firmer to the foundational build exercise routine

When first developing the CFF™ foundational facial exercises, we discovered that as the cheeks were building nicely and the jaw line was being restored, hollows, just under the upper cheeks started to appear. While the nasal/labial fold lines (marionette lines) were also lifting out and the whole face and neck were taking on a more youthful build, these hollows were not desirable. Further research brought about the development of the Face Firmer massage technique and this was the solution to filling in the cheeks properly and keeping the face balanced and even.

Facial Exercise Routine for Firming the Neck and Double Chin

Comprehensive Neck Exercise

When researching why our neck ages so I could design a facial exercise that was effective in correcting an aging neck, I discovered many interesting facts* that led me to the development of “The Brush” facial exercise. I was able to devise a routine that not only firmed-up the double chin area and smoothed the jaw line, but an exercise that firmed the neck and diminished or eliminated what I called banding or cording in the neck.  You know, those long skinny vertical lines that look like an umbrella turned inside out in a wind storm? This exercise also gets rid of the turkey waddle that is almost impossible to address in any other way.

Treatment Plan for Diminishing Age/Sun Spots

When I was researching formulas for the Carolyn’s Facial Formulas™ skincare line, I wanted to be sure we could offer a good solution for diminishing age spots and evening out skin-tone-coloration. I had tried so many different products from chemicals that left the brown spot with a white ring around it to “natural remedies” like using lemon juice that did the same thing.  Those brown spots were a bit lighter, but the white discoloration around them was really weird looking for sure. The treatment plan below is my solution to diminishing age spots and evening out skin-tone discolorations.

Note: This treatment not only addresses the skin-tone issues, but it also further reduces fine lines around the upper lip, the crow’s feet around the eyes and overall refines and improves the texture of the skin.
