Q. Can I really shrink my pores?
     M.S. Toronto
A. Pores enlarge when oil glands in your skin increase the amount of oil output. Hormones, stress and lifestyle will all affect their behavior. To refine and reduce the look of pore size, it is vital to keep the pores clear of dead skin cells. Applying SEA RESULTS™ OVERNIGHT PERFECTING PEEL every evening to dissolve the dead cells so that the pores do not fill and look larger. Next use an oil-free moisturizer with shine control to keep the skin matte and shine free plus give the pores a reduced appearance. WATERWHITE™ PORE MINIMIZING BRIGHTENING GEL and FACE OASIS™ SHINE NEUTRALIZING GEL both provide the skin with oil-free hydration and silica (shine control) to help visibly reduce the look of the pores!
Q. How do your skin-brightening products work?
     T. E. Atlanta
A. Waterwhite™ Brightening is a system of products formulated with a technologically advanced triple action complex combining the highest performance active ingredients. It is proven to help lighten the complexion, boost skin clarity and evenness, eliminate pigment spots and discoloration caused by the sun. The triple action is created by:

1)Live Yeast Cell Derivative: Enhances the brightening process by oxygenating the skin
2)Stabilized Vitamin C: Inhibits the production of melanin (pigment)
3)Marine Algae: Provides antioxidant abilities that contribute to hyper-pigmentation.
Q. I have very oily skin; do I really need a moisturizer?
     J.R. Los Angeles
A. Yes, all skin types will benefit from a moisturizer. Even the oiliest skin needs extra hydration to prevent over-active sebaceous glands. Each of your pores are little oil producers, every time you wash the skin and remove the excess oil, the oil gland will replace it with more oil. By giving the skin its desired need of 'filling up' with an oil-free hydrator such as FACE OASIS™ SHINE NEUTRALIZING GEL, the skin will stay clearer and cleaner longer.
Q. What are the microspheres in LIP OASIS™ AMPLIFYING LIP TREATMENT?
     K.P. San Francisco
A. The microspheres are dehydrated marine collagen. These microelements penetrate the lip tissue and 'rehydrate'. As the spheres absorb fluid they enlarge and plump up the tissue, thus giving a fuller, pouty appearance. LIP OASIS™ AMPLIFYING LIP TREATMENT will deliver results for up to 48 hours.
Q. I cleanse, tone & moisturize daily. However, I still get blackheads and breakout around my T-zone. Help! What am I doing wrong?
     C.Z. Dallas
A. Clogged pores are often the result of the need for enhanced exfoliation and/or the need of deep cleansing. Every evening, after cleansing and toning, apply SEA RESULTS™ OVERNIGHT PERFECTING PEEL to dislodge and rid the skin of any pore clogging debris. To further encourage a clear, clog-free complexion, try SEA MINERAL CLEANSER and SEA MINERAL MUD MASK, twice weekly, to polish and lift away dead skin cells and spent oils.
Q. I have redness in my face with some acne. I need to use products for sensitive skin. I am wondering if your products would be appropriate?
     M.B Scottsdale
A. H2O Plus skincare products are water-based and ideal for even the most sensitive skins. With oil-prone, sensitive skin, you will want to use our mattifying system to keep the skin clear and shine free. Start with SEA CLEAR MATTIFYING CLEANSING MOUSSE, SEA CLEAR MATTIFYING TONER and FACE OASIS™ SHINE-NEUTRALIZING GEL to clean, clear and soothe.
Q. My skin looks dry, but I experience a lot of breakout, what should I do?
     S.L. Calgary
A. Skin is comprised of both water and oil. To keep the skin properly hydrated (less flaky) it is important to supply the skin with moisture after cleansing and toning, use oil-free FACE OASIS™ HYDRATING TREATMENT, which delivers 'eight glasses' of water to your skin. Every evening apply SEA RESULTS OVERNIGHT PERFECTING PEEL to gentle dissolve dead surface cells and instantly improve skin texture and radiance.
Q. Do eye products for puffiness and dark circles really work and how long does it take to see results?
     M.J. Denver
A. SEA RESULTS™ EYE MENDER PLUS definitely diminishes under eye puffiness and dark circles. Formulated with marine micropatch technology and monk's pepper berry this rejuvenation cream immediately helps to deflate and flush the delicate eye contour while firming the skin. Though most customers begin to see a difference in a day or two, the best results are achieved after three to four weeks of twice daily use.
Q. Even though I moisturize regularly, my arms and legs are very dry and flaky. Is there something I can do to relieve this condition? Also, I do not have a lot of time.
     D.K. Cincinnati
A. Exfoliation and hydration. Dry, flaky surface skin needs to be sloughed away and the new skin below needs to be properly hydrated. (Remember a raisin can never become a grape again). By using SEA SALT SKIN SMOOTHER twice a week, in the shower, it will give you the desired results-- skin that not only looks radiant but also feels smooth and supple. Also, when it comes to time, a spritz of HYDRATING BODY GLOSS on damp skin immediately after the shower and before towel drying will instantly give you the moisture your body desires.
