CORALVILLE, Iowa, July 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Dr. Darlene McCord and Pinnaclife are proud to announce that Pinnaclife Supplements and Remedy Skin Care Products are now available in a complete prenatal care package.

Dr. McCord commented, “Prenatal nutrition is so important and even with a close to perfect diet, it is still difficult for pregnant women to get all the nutrients they need to maintain optimal health. We are excited to announce that the Pinnaclife Prenatal Care Plan provides expecting mothers with all of the nutrients they need to ensure optimal health for both their unborn child and themselves.”

The Pinnaclife Prenatal Care Plan provides expecting mothers with the only “expert” brand of vitamin supplements on the marketplace. The brand is not solely based upon the delivery of nutrients, but on the precise dosing of nutrients. Each nutrient is delivered to mother and child with full scientific knowledge of how it works synergistically with the other nutrients in each supplement.

The plan also includes the use of McCord’s Remedy Skin Care products: Skin Repair Cream, Calazime and Nutrashield. When combined, the Skin Repair Cream and Nutrashield work together to moisturize the expecting mothers tender skin and protect it from damage and stretch marks. The Calazime serves as barrier against chaffing and rash irritation as well as an excellent treatment and prevention of diaper rash on newborn skin.  ”One of the first senses that a child develops in-utero is the sense of smell.” McCord added, “If a mother uses Skin Repair Cream during pregnancy, using the cream on a finicky baby can trigger a sense memory and be an effective and natural calming agent.”

Kansas City, MO (PRWEB) July 08, 2011

Diabetics have unique skincare needs. They have very vulnerable skin that needs proper diabetic care. Dry skin, particularly on the feet, becomes itchy, which causes scratching and soreness that can lead to infection through cracks in the skin. In serious cases, that infection can result in foot amputation.

Foot problems in diabetics are particularly troublesome. Around 25% of diabetics will develop a foot ulcer in their lifetime*. More than half of those ulcers will become infected requiring hospitalization, and 20% of those will require amputation**. 80% of the nontramatic amputations performed yearly in the United States are attributed to diabetes***. That amounts to a diabetic losing a leg from a medical complication caused by diabetes every 30 seconds****.

Thankfully, the chances of diabetics developing foot infections can be reduced by Dr. Greenfield’s Footcream, formulated by clinical experts to provide the necessary moisturizers, emollients and vitamins for prevention of infection. One application of the cream twice a day helps keep feet free of the calluses and cracks that can lead to infection.

Says Dr. Greenfield’s Diabetic Products President Dr. Stan Greenfield, “Diabetics use Diabetic Footcream like any other regular moisturizer. It isn’t greasy, it won’t clog your pores, and it comes packed with vitamins and antioxidants to keep nerves and skin healthy. It even has a moisture barrier to make it tough to wash off.”

Dr. Greenfield’s Diabetic Footcream is patented and contains humectants and emollients such as Tea Tree Oil that moisturize, soften and soothe the skin. There’s no petroleum to clog the pores, and exfoliating agents reduce calluses. The diabetic cream also provides vitamins A, D, E and provitamin B5 for diabetics.

Dr. Greenfield, a PhD pharmaceutical chemist, has a personal reason to pour his time and passion into his diabetic skincare business.

He says, “As a child, I grew up in a household with diabetic family members. Now, as an adult, I’ve witnessed my own son develop type 1 diabetes during his adolescence. It’s an insidious disease and I’ve made it my goal to develop safe, effective and affordable skincare products for diabetics through my small, family-owned business.”

Dr. Greenfield’s research and technical expertise have also had a quite surprising bonus. “My products have developed a growing list of satisfied customers,” he says. “But many of them aren’t even diabetic. Many non-diabetics have discovered that my products are simply good for the skin. They’re packed with vitamins, moisturisers, and emollients that leave skin soft, glowing, and enriched.”

Dr. Greenfield’s Diabetic Products has also developed and manufactured Diabetic Hand and Body Cream that works in the same effective way as the Footcream, but without the Tea Tree Oil.

The product is already a firm favorite with diabetic customers, who have achieved remarkable results with the creams. Here are just a couple of the many testimonials received to date:

‘I can’t begin to tell you the difference in my feet. My calluses are starting to disappear and the cracks in my heels are healing.’

-Bonnie D, Olympia, WA

‘I became a diabetic in 2003/2002. I was first given medication by my doctor to combat the dryness of skin on my feet and hands. That medication (prescription) did not work. I had been in this medical facility here close to my home: spoke to the druggist, he recommended your product and the rest is history. You have some wonderful products that work well for diabetics. I intend to keep using your hand and foot cream as long as I need some (which I am sure from now on). Thank you so very much for caring.’

-Ida B.,Compton CA

Los Angeles, CA, July 03, 2011 –(PR.com)– Vivoderm joins DeJoria’s new members-only online marketplace for socially conscious and eco-friendly products on July 1.

John Paul DeJoria, co-founder of global enterprises such as Paul Mitchell Systems and Patron Spirits, launched a summer roll-out of his new e-commerce platform JP Selects.com earlier this month.

Vivoderm offers a natural skincare line that includes 100% herbal, natural facial masks for acne and aging skin, zinc and intense facial moisturizers as well as body butter and foot cream. JP Selects promotes their site as “an online marketplace for products made with uncompromising principles. Our brands pride themselves on the quality of their products and in giving back.”

Vivoderm Vice President, Dr. Noushin Adhami stated, “We are honored to be affiliated with JP Selects and are proud John Paul DeJoria selected us personally. We have always respected him for his humanitarian efforts and benevolent nature as well as his business acumen. We are excited for this opportunity.”

One of the key differences to JP Selects over other ecommerce sites is the unique ability to review video interviews and extensive content on each of the entrepreneurs and their companies.

“While Vivoderm products have been used in a private practice for over 40 years, we are thrilled to be a part this new platform and finally share our story with conscientious consumers in a more personable way,” stated Dr. Shawn Adhami, Vivoderm’s CEO.

For 72 hours, starting July 1, Vivoderm’s natural skincare line will be sold in the “Today’s Offers” section at a promotional introductory price. Membership to JP Selects is free and open to customers via online registration. After the introductory offer, Vivoderm products will remain in their own branded online store 365 days per year.

Vivoderm joins other ecologically-minded brands such as: designers Green Garmento and Make Love Not Trash – companies devoted to using sustainable resources, respecting the environment and giving back.

Giving back is a key point for Vivoderm and JP Selects. Every time you make a purchase, a portion of that sale goes to a social and/or environmental cause.

Dr. Adhami explained, “We believe that the JP Selects philosophy is in line with Vivoderm to not only enhance one’s personal appearance and environment but be eco friendly as well. We have full confidence in this new venture.”

With tropical getaways, outdoor dining and summer lounging in full swing, it’s imperative to take safe measures in protecting skin from future damage. Sun exposure is the number one cause of lines and wrinkles (not to mention hyperpigmentation, sun spots and skin cancer), so be mindful of your time basking in those glorious UV rays if you’re aiming to maintain your youthful glow.

JustLuxe caught up with skincare expert and celebrity esthetician (clients include Jessica Simpson, Katie Cassidy and Demi Lovato) Renée Rouleau to bring you the very best in summer skin tips and solutions:

Wear Sunscreen Every Day

This is non-negotiable! To truly take care of your skin, you must protect it. Recent information from the UCLA skin research department indicates that 78 percent of all the sun damage incurred in a lifetime is from incidental exposure. Don’t wait until you’re playing poolside to put it on — wear it consistently and daily to yield best results and reapply often.

Walking to your car or driving in traffic exposes you to unnecessary sun damage; and remember that windshields do nothing to protect you from UV rays. Wear a moisturizer that contains a sun block with a minimum of SPF 15.

Reapply Often

People are commonly confused about which SPF number they should use. The truth is, an SPF 30 only offers four percent more protection than an SPF 15, not double. The higher the numbers (SPF 45, 50, 70 +) that percentage comes down, but you’re also exposing your skin to more chemicals, which might result in a negative reaction on the skin. The key to protecting your skin in the sun is to reapply your sunscreen generously, at least every two hours. A little dab won’t cut it – you need to slather it on.

Serious about your Skin? Give Your SPF a Boost

Researchers at Duke University Medical Center determined that using a lotion or serum with vitamins C and E (we like Renee Rouleau Vitamin C E Complex) under sunscreen actually provides four times the protection of sunscreen alone. Start layering on the good stuff, ladies! Your skin will thank you later.

Eat Properly for Pretty Skin

Load up on antioxidants and you’ll be glowing from the inside out. Eat generous amounts of nutrient-rich foods like spinach, tomatoes, berries and sweet potatoes to fight off free radicals, which increases aging. When it comes to acne-prone skin, eliminate dairy (milk, cheese, ice cream, frozen yogurt, etc.) and reap the results of clear, beautiful skin! You won’t believe your eyes. Also, try Renée Rouleau Anti-Cyst Treatment for stubborn cystic breakouts.

Another summer skin-saving trick? Go for a swim in the ocean! The salt water has natural purifying properties, which helps destroy acne-causing bacteria.

Your Fridge is a Skin Emporium

Red as a lobster and uncomfortable to boot? Try cold yogurt instead of aloe vera-based lotions or gels. Layering such lotions on sunburned skin actually traps heat, keeping the skin red longer. Skin must breathe to let out heat. Cold plain yogurt applied to the skin works as an anti-inflammatory and heat remover. Apply, let dry for 15 minutes, and rinse. Repeat every hour.

For skin that suffers from redness or rosacea-like symptoms, the constant heat in the summer can keep skin looking blotchy and irritated. Keep your skincare products in the refrigerator so that when you use them, they not only feel refreshing, but the cold acts as a vaso-constrictor to reduce the dilation of the capillaries and helps reduce visible redness on the spot. Try a cooling mask like Renée Rouleau Azulene Gel Mask.

Avoid Oil Spills
Although there is no miracle product to control the extra oil that you produce during summer months, there are ways to keep shine under control. Oil blotting papers are great to use during the day to actually remove the oils off the skin to give you the feel of freshly washed skin.

In a pinch? The type of paper used for toilet seat covers in public restrooms is similar to expensive oil blotting papers. Tear off a piece of this and press firmly on the skin. Voila!
