The Top 10 Elements at War with Skin and Your “Weapons of Mass Construction.”

Inside Information by Jillian Corley

Although we are at war with the elements as well as fighting natural aging, one common champion we have in our arsenal are L’Bri products. They are truly our “Weapons of Mass Construction.” Rebuilding and renewing the skin and shielding it with protective armor to defend from harm now and in the future.

1. The “big 3 No-No’s.” Try to avoid them. Your skin hates alcohol, tobacco and especially caffeine, and will prove it to you by losing moisture or forming wrinkles that make you look older than you are. Avoid the 3 big no-no’s and get this benefit: You’ll look younger longer. Weapon: L’Bri’s Dermaplex A will help to restore moisture, soften and reduce the depth of wrinkles.
2. Not Enough Sleep. Try to get at least 8 hours a night. Your skin renews itself by regenerating new cells while you sleep. Weapon: L’Bri’s High Antioxidant Night Repair Treatment. Renews and restores while you sleep.
3. Dehydration. Drink at least 64 oz of filtered water per day. The benefits are improved circulation and accelerated cell growth. Weapon: L’Bri’s Pure Radiance Hydrating Mist contains powerful amino acids that nourish and regenerate cells along with Hyaluronic acid that attracts 100 times its weight in water to itself to hydrate from the inside out.
4. Lack of Exercise. At least three times a week. Exercise helps encourage circulation and speeds blood flow to the surface of your skin. Added benefit: Exercise can help alleviate stress. Weapon: L’Bri’s Maxifirm helps to stimulate circulation to the cells from the outside in while you work from the inside out.
5. Poor Vitamin Intake. Eat vitamin rich foods and take a supplement for added benefits. Vitamins A, C & E are potent free-radical scavengers that are known for corrective and preventative benefits for sun- and environmentally-damaged skin. Weapons: L’Bri’s Nutri Aloe. Contains 100% whole food nutrition and a potent blend of high ORAC antioxidants to improve inner and outer balance.
6. The Natural Aging Process As we age our skin becomes drier and loses elasticity, which can cause wrinkles and fine lines. Weapon: Use a specially formulated age-defying moisturizer to nourish and renew your skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles such as L’Bri’s Intense Moisture Crème.
7. Sun is the most damaging of all environmental factors. Continued exposure damages and wrinkles your skin. Sun exposure is also a major cause of skin cancer. Weapon: L’Bri’s Time Erase will help to reverse the damage caused by the sun as well as stimulate the production of new healthy cells.
8. Low Humidity. Low humidity robs your entire body of essential moisture and sometimes causing serious dehydration. Weapon: L’Bri’s Daily Moisturizing Hand and Body Lotion will help to nourish your skin and fight low humidity. It contains over 40 ingredients designed to shield, protect and repair.
9. Wind. Strong wind, especially with extreme temperatures and low humidity, can cause dry, flaky skin. Weapon: L’Bri’s Intense Body Butter will help protect from extreme conditions and prevent further damage.
10. Air pollution. Windborne dust, dirt, and smog can clog pores and suffocate your skin. Weapon: L’Bri’s Aloe Vera Gel forms a “barrier” between you and the environment and provides protection from the elements.

Testimonials

When I was a teenager, I had great skin. As I've gotten older, my skin has decided to catch up on all it missed in the teenage years. My skin has gone from being evenly toned and blemish free to oily with large pores and constant blemishes.

I have tried countless skin care products to help my skin. Some products worked well for a while and then my skin would break out even worse than it did before I used that particular product, so I would find another product to use. I have used products from every price range but it wasn't until I started using L'Bri skincare products that my skin has totally changed. Not only have the blemishes gone away, the pores are smaller, but my skin is so very soft to touch and smooth -- my skin has never looked nor felt this fantastic!

Many of the skincare products that I have used have been natural and many have ingredients that I'm just not sure what they are! Over the years, I have gotten more interested in total health for myself and my environment, which is one of the reasons I like L'Bri products. They are all natural...you know that what is going on your skin wouldn't hurt you if you ate it. I really appreciate a company that uses ingredients that are natural and are easy to pronounce.

I was introduced to L'Bri in 2004 and the effect on my skin was so noticeable that for some time, I could not pass by a mirror without stopping to stare at the difference in my skin. Even my teenage sons declared I looked like a teenager myself! Problems with acne, wrinkles, blotchy skin, and dryness were all cleared up.

Now, almost six years later, I still believe I look younger than I did in my 40's, am still in love with L'Bri and am happy to share with everyone about these wonderful aloe-based skincare products!

The Story of L'Bri-The Company

They Dared to Dream...

The daughter of immigrants and the son of a father born in poverty, Linda and Brian Kaminski put everything on the line--investing their savings, mortgaging their home, selling the family car, borrowing on credit cards, and when that fell short, selling many of their possessions--to research advanced skin care formulas and start their own skin care business.

Without a car, Brian pedaled a bicycle around town while Linda gave away skin care samples to shoppers in the parking lot of their local Wal-Mart. Today their company, L'Bri Pure n Natural, based in Mukwonago, Wisconsin, is the nations leader in providing aloe-based skin care, beauty, and nutritional products through a network of independent Consultants.

The road to leading a multi-million-dollar company began in 1977 when then 20-year-old newlywed, Linda Kaminski, was introduced to the concept of direct selling. She eventually quit her secretarial job to devote herself full-time to the direct selling business, becoming the top seller for a national skin care company. Meanwhile, Linda's husband, Brian, was employed in the aluminum foundry of Milwaukee's sprawling Briggs & Stratton factory. Molten aluminum in excess of 1,220 degrees Fahrenheit was poured into dies for casting the block and parts of lawnmower engines.

On one day in 1985, at about noon, a forklift delivering a large pot of molten metal to the die casting area slammed on the brakes. Like a wave splashing over a break wall, super-heated aluminum spewed from the pot, soaking Brian Kaminski from the waist to the floor. Brian was rushed by ambulance to the Burn Unit of Milwaukee's St. Joseph Hospital.

Following initial treatment at the hospital, Brian was sent home with strict orders to treat the third-degree burns with a prescription salve and bandages to prevent life-threatening infection. It was difficult to remove the bandages to put on the salve without further damaging the burns, Linda recalled of the ordeal. Brian recounted, It got worse and in a few days I could hardly walk. It wasn't healing.

Linda added, We kept up this routine for about five days and Brian was still in pain and the wounds looked terrible. A friend suggested that they try aloe vera. The Kaminski's were aware aloe vera was a popular home remedy for minor burns, but Brian's burns were definitely not minor.

At this point, Linda said, we had nothing to lose because the salve and bandages were not working. She removed the bandages for the last time and spread aloe on the damaged skin. Within two days, the pain subsided and Brian's legs appeared to be healing. On the follow-up visit to the doctor, the physician scolded them for not following his instructions.

Linda remembered, He gave us a long lecture of how lucky we were that some major infection hadn't settled into the skin. He told us the prescription salve contained certain things to help ward off infection and that there was a reason you keep the burns covered. The doctor insisted they stop using the aloe and return to the prescribed salve and bandage treatment.

We just felt good about the aloe, Brian said. So we kept using it, and I got better. There was no scarring. The doctors and nurses were amazed how well my burn healed, and we attributed it to the aloe. Brian recovered and returned to work at the foundry, but within six years he left his factory job to work fulltime with Linda in her home-based business.

In 1998, remembering their experience with aloe vera, Linda and Brian decided to start their own skin care company with formulas based on aloe vera. Brian explained, Most skin care products begin with water as the basic ingredient. Instead of water, we decided to use aloe vera as the base.

According to the Kaminski's, aloe vera contains 75 nutrients, 200 active compounds, 20 essential minerals, 18 amino acids, and 12 vitamins. Nicknamed the burn plant, aloe vera has been the subject of numerous scientific inquiries and has been used as a healing agent for thousands of years.

Working with bio-chemists, Linda and Brian supervised the formulation of several aloe vera-based, all-natural skin care products. Brian stated, We wanted skin care formulas that were pure and natural, of the highest quality, and that would promote healing to help people have younger, healthier skin. We made sure everything was well within FDA regulations and was documented to be healthy for the skin.

Combining their names, Linda and Brian named their new company L'Bri Pure n Natural, pronounced Lih-Brye. The bio-chemists went to work to create a comprehensive skin care line of cleansers and moisturizers. The Kaminski's were told the work would take up to a year and the price tag would be high.

To meet the research and development costs, Linda and Brian mortgaged their home, raising $200,000. They borrowed $150,000 on credit cards, committed their entire family savings, and then sold their boat, car, and a number of household goods. Without a car, Brian rode a bicycle around town.

Finally, the first products began arriving from the lab. Among them was L'Bri Daily Moisturizing Hand & Body Lotion, made with aloe and 41 other ingredients, including vitamins, natural botanicals, Echinacea extract, ginseng extract, and cucumber essence. The office and distribution center were located in the basement of the couples suburban home.

Linda said, We knew our products were superior, and people would love them, if they tried them. The couple leased a compact car and Linda drove to a Wal-Mart parking lot to give away half-ounce samples of the lotion and other products. At this time we were so far in debt, the business was now about survival, she added.

Linda continued, I positioned the car so I could see people coming out of Wal-Mart. I asked people to try a free sample of our pure and natural lotion.

Many people accepted the samples and soon Linda and Brian were filling orders from their home.

In the years since, Brian estimates the company has distributed more than 100,000 free samples of various L'Bri Pure n Natural products.

Brian no longer rides a bicycle to work and years ago Linda stopped handing out samples in parking lots. Their company now occupies a large office and distribution complex southwest of Milwaukee. Several thousand L'Bri Pure n Natural independent sales Consultants represent the products nationwide.

On one recent morning, while walking through the busy shipping department, chatting with happy employees and watching L'Bri Pure n Natural cartons fill UPS trucks, Brian told a guest, I was confident that if we worked hard, did the right things, sold a good product at a fair price with good service, we would be successful.

L'Bri Pure n Natural markets skin care, nutritional, and beauty products from its offices in Mukwonago, Wisconsin through a national network of several thousand independent sales Consultants. Free samples of the most popular skin care products are available with a small shipping and handling charge. To receive free samples, go to www.patriciahumphrey.lbri.com and click on Free Samples.

Linda and Brian Kaminski's amazing story is now the subject of a book, Dare to Dream.

Determine Your Skin Type

The skin is our largest vital organ and our first line of defense against bacterial invasion. As you change and grow, so does your skin. The sun, wind, pollution, heredity, medications, stress and heating systems, all affect your skin type. It is important to identify your true skin type so you will be able to select the correct L'Bri skin care products for your special needs. Read the following descriptions and find the one that most closely portrays your skin.

Normal Skin
Normal skin is the goal of every skin care program. Yet, it may be that the only truly normal skin is that of a child. Normal skin is not too oily or dry and blemishes are uncommon. Normal skin's appearance is moist, plump and dewy. The pores are small to medium in size. The skin is of medium thickness and has an even tone. Normal skin is soft, smooth and firm with good elasticity.
If your skin is normal order – Skin Care Samples for Normal & Dry Skin.

Oily Skin
Oily skin has a shiny appearance and is usually thicker, firmer, and less sensitive than the other types. The pores are visibly more noticeable than in other skin types and are medium to large in size. There is a tendency for recurring clogged pores, blackheads, whiteheads, blemishes and enlarged pores.

* If your skin is oily with occasional break-outs order - Skin Care Samples for Blemished Skin.
* If your skin is very oily with blemishes or acne prone order - Skin Care Samples for Blemished Skin.

Dry Skin
Dry skin can feel tight and may have visible flaking. It is often delicate, easily irritated, and usually sensitive to cold weather. Dry skin has a matte finish with no sheen and can have a rough feel to it. Many people think that they have dry skin when they actually have a superficial dry condition. Superficial dryness is caused by exposure to the sun, sea, air, wind, or pollutants. It is also caused by improper skin-care habits such as using soap as a cleanser or not using a moisturizer for protection. The symptoms of certain skin diseases such as eczema, mild psoriasis, or atopic dermatitis are sometimes mistaken for dry skin.

Combination Skin
Combination skin refers to skin with two or more distinctly different characteristics on different parts of the face. The most common combination skin is oily in certain areas and then dry or normal in the other areas. Usually, the "T-zone" (forehead, nose, and chin) is oily and the cheeks and around the eyes are normal or dry. Ninety-five percent of combination skin types will fit this description. The other five percent can have a variety of combinations such as a blemished forehead, dry cheeks and normal everywhere else, or the skin could be normal in the "T-zone" and dry everywhere else.

The Story of Aloe

Keeping your skin beautiful and healthy does not just happen. Skin must be pampered, protected, and preserved through a daily regimen of skin care to achieve and maintain a youthful, healthier, and lovelier complexion. There are so many skin care products on the market today, with each claiming to "be the best." How can you know which is best for you? L'Bri Pure n' Natural believes that by understanding how our products work, and by using the products for only a short time, you will know why our skin care collection sets us apart from the rest. There are more than 200 different species of aloe. Of the 200-plus species of aloe, only four are recognized as being of nutritional value to humans and animals. Aloe Barbadensis Miller (pronounced bar-ba-den-sis) is at the top of these four, since it is the most potent and nutritious -- with only mature plants bearing the greatest benefits.

The Aloe Vera Barbadensis gel is well known as a healing agent for burns, bruises, cuts, abrasions, insect bites, and other damaged skin tissues. Its powers have been recounted for thousands of years. There is historical documentation that shows that Aloe Vera was being used as far back as l,500 BC. Often referred to as "Natures Pharmacy," aloe vera has been rumored to have been Cleopatra's beauty secret. The Bible mentions aloe in over a dozen passages, referring to it as the "bitter herb." It also tells the story of Christ's body being wrapped in myrrh and aloe following His crucifixion. The journals of Marco Polo also note aloes magical powers and Columbus even mentions the mysterious properties of this plant.

L'Bri has unlocked the mysteries of the aloe vera plant, and formulated skin care products that not only moisturize, but help heal damaged skin tissue. We want our L'Bri product-user to understand the healing power of aloe, too. The L'Bri Pure n Natural Skincare collection is formulated to provide the most concentrated and effective use of aloe now available.

First, our L'Bri collection draws its plants from only the highest grade cultivated in the Rio Grande Valley. The hand-picked leaves are hand filleted to ensure that only the purest, innermost gel of the plant is used. Many products on the market will grind or squeeze the plant. Invariably, this results in tainting their gel with aloins -- (a yellowish substance found in aloe vera,) which is harmful to skin tissue. The attention we use results in a completely clear gel -- a sure sign of the very highest grade of aloe gel. Unlike other products using aloe, the L'Bri Pure n Natural Skincare Collection uses a cold stabilization process (the secret of our gel) as opposed to a heat pasteurization process which "cooks-out" most of the aloes natural benefits and healing properties. Through L'Bri's cold stabilization process, the L'Bri Skincare Collection retains 100% of the plants mysterious and wonderful properties. The "pure" gel of the unadulterated aloe vera thus forms the base and is the FIRST INGREDIENT in our complete line of Skincare products -- and we refuse, unlike many of the products on the market, to water-down the pure gel or use water as the first ingredient. At L'Bri, every product we put our name on, is developed within the perfect balance of nature and technology. Each product combines effective natural ingredients such as vitamins, fruit acids, alpine herbs, and amino acids, with sound Skincare science, to create formulas that really work -- products which will give you healthier, more youthful and radiant skin.

Pure Aloe and Natural Ingredients

We unlocked the healing power of aloe vera to formulate skin care products that not only moisturize, but also repair damaged skin. Aloe vera contains 75 nutrients, 200 active compounds, 20 essential minerals, 18 amino acids, and 12 vitamins. Nicknamed the burn plant, aloe vera has been the subject of numerous scientific inquiries and has been used as a healing agent for thousands of years.

The benefits of aloe are well documented. But how does aloe vera work to heal and rejuvenate delicate skin tissue? Aloe slows the aging process in several ways. As an excellent cleansing and detoxifying agent, aloe removes dead skin cells, wastes, and toxins while purifying the pores. Researchers now know that aloe stimulates proteolytic enzyme action in skin tissue, enhancing the process of cell division. Specifically, fibroblast cells that manufacture collagen, needed to keep the skin firm, are produced six to eight times faster than normal cells. The vitamins, minerals, and amino acids found in aloe nourish and moisturize the skin. Aloe rejuvenates and rebuilds new healthy skin at an accelerated pace by using the same process that gives the youthful skin of children that fresh, healthy glow.

In addition, the nature of aloe as a succulent acts as a moisturizing agent, slowing evaporation and drawing moisture from the air. Aloe penetrates the outer skin surface, taking its healing power deep inside the skins tissue to stimulate cell revitalization.

L'Bri is so convinced of the healing power of aloe, that it is the first ingredient in all of L'Bri's skin care products. In fact, every L'Bri skin care product is formulated using the finest natural ingredients combined with the latest technological advances. As a result, L'Bri Pure n Natural products strike a perfect balance between nature and science.

L'Bri insists on using only the best ingredients, such as pharmaceutical-grade, natural additives, while also refusing to add harmful preservatives, artificial fragrances, and coloring. L'Bri Pure n Natural skin care products NEVER contain lanolin oil, mineral oil, waxes, fillers, SD 40 alcohol, or artificial coloring, which are often the primary ingredients in most skin care products. L'Bri Pure n Natural products are proven pure, safe, effective and beneficial.

Daily use of L'Bri Pure n Natural Skin Care products will help off-set the effects of free radicals in the skin caused by environmental pollutants and overexposure to the suns ultraviolet rays.
