ALREADY LOOKING BETTER!

I’m two days in to this dry heel recovery challenge and I thought I should update people with the progress. After all… most people are concerned with immediate results. So, I thought it would be best to show everyone what is going on Now. So I headed outside again and snapped a couple of pics this morning.

MY REGIMEN

Before I get to the photos, I want to give a quick update on what I have been doing. I’ve been applying Kanreki Cream to my heels twice a day. Once in the morning after I hop out of the shower and once more when I climb into bed. For anyone else out there trying to follow the same procedure, I am using 2 pumps of the retail cream on each heel, for each application. I started with just one and my poor dry heels just absorbed it all so quickly that I added the second pump to work on some serious repair.

• 2 pumps per heel of Kanreki Cream in the morning
• 2 pumps per heel of Kanreki Cream each evening

THE UPDATE!

Here is my right heel again. As you can see the majority of the dry scaly skin has been moisturized and healed. The treatment that has already succeeded makes it very easy to see the most severe damage to the skin along the lower part of my heel with the dry flakes that remain still. I want to remind everyone that I have not scrubbed or used a pumice on my heels – this is just the result of Kanreki Cream alone.

This next photo is my left heel and as you will recall it was the one that had the big crack that was nearly ready to break the skin. you can see what really appear to be much more dramatic results on my left heel. The crack, while still there, is already less than half its original size. You can really see how the nutrient base in Kanreki Cream is helping to repair the damaged cells and heal my skin’s structure, not simply to moisturize the scaly, flaky surface.

I am so impressed with the results so far that I think I will update again in another 2 days and show people what can be done in less than a week! I’ll also update any adjustments in my use of Kanreki Cream (in case I decide to drop down to 1 pump per heel).

I recently bumped into Paula online in Twitter. Paula has a blog, Older Girl Beauty, which I thought was a great site for women (like me) who are starting to experience some subtle or dramatic changes in our skin as we move through our 30s. I could go into these changes in much greater detail… and I think I should, but it will have to wait for a later post. This is about being inspired by Paula’s idea to test just how great our Kanreki Cream is for dry skin!

Paula confided that her heels were in a bit of a state and she boldly decided to share her “heel rehabilitation” with her readers. It’s great! Paula snapped a before shot and will be applying Kanreki Cream to her heels and charting their recovery.

UNTREATED, UNCARED FOR SKIN

I looked at Paula’s post and then took a good look at my own heels. I am sorry to say that I think mine are much worse. And how awfully embarrassing given my position with C’watre! I have long preached to ALL how wonderful and powerful Kanreki Cream is for treating troubled skin. We have even shared on this blog the stories of people with extreme eczema and psoriasis and how they have found relief with Kanreki products.

I quickly sent Paula a message and told her that I was so excited about her idea that I was going to join her in her challenge. Of course, I already know that the nutrient rich ocean water filled with trace minerals and the plentiful antioxidants and moisturizers will do wonders for my dry, cracked, scaly, untreated heels. But I’m going to take lots of pictures along the way and try to give everyone a real appreciation of how well this treatment works.

THE UGLY BEGINNING

I am sharing images of both of my heels. Below is a picture of my right heel that I took this morning. You can see that it has clearly been ages since my heels have seen a buffer, let alone a pedicure. But I want to be completely open about this, so I intentionally did not rummage through my bins in the bathroom to dig out a pumice.

BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE!

As sad as my right heel is, my left is actually worse. When I got a good look at my left heel I spotted a large looming crack that is clearly very close to breaking the skin. I share this one with a little more embarrassment than the right heel. But also I want everyone to take a look at your own heels and remember that strappy sandal season is fast approaching.

JOIN THE CHALLENGE!

If you took a look at your heels like I did, you may find that you need to join this challenge yourself. I don’t blame you! Indeed, I want to encourage you! So, for the next month, while Paula and I are tracking our progress C’watre is going to give everyone 15% off of Kanreki Cream. You will need to type in a promo code on our eShop. When you get to checkout, enter CREAM15, and it will automatically give you a 15% reduction on the Kanreki Cream in your cart.

If pick up Kanreki Cream, or use the bottle you already have, to participate in this challenge – please comment here or on Paula’s blog! We’d love to hear how you’re doing!

TREATMENT FOR SKIN RASH, 36 HOURS TO CLEAR SKIN

HAERU Activating Ageless Serum was used to treat razor-burn and painful skin irritation. HAERU was misted on the affected area 2 times a day and impressive results were seen in 36 hours. Painful irritation was gone in a day and visual skin improvement was seen in the second day.

“Redness and discomfort disappeared almost immediately after I applied Haeru Activating Ageless Serum. After the third application – 36 hours later – the skin rash was gone. It was really amazing. I use it all the time now to prevent any outbreaks.” -Rob, 32, Baltimore, MD

RECOMMENDATION:

Treat and prevent skin irritation by fortifying skin cells with the nutrients cells crave. Use Haeru Activating Ageless Serum, an intensive nourishing mist, after cleansing and anytime skin is irritated. For best results use with C’watre’s Kanreki Wash and a healthy lifestyle.

SEA SALT AND SKIN HEALTH

The Dead Sea is recognized around the world for its benefits in the treatment of skin diseases, in particular psoriasis and dermatitis. Treatments at the Dead Sea have proven effective in the disappearance of lesions and the duration of remission (the two most significant effects for anyone dealing with these skin issues.) Out of 1233 patients that came from overseas, 742 people had a 100% improvement as a result of soaking in the seawater.  Over 89% of patients saw skin improvement of 80% or better.

SEA SALTS REDUCE SYMPTOMS

Psoriasis studies have revealed how Dead Seawater can reduce symptoms.  The basis of the benefits is the high level of mineral salts present in the seawater. They are believed to be responsible by slowing down the out of control cell division. Research has also found that Dead Seawater can reduce the symptoms of dermatitis.  The minerals as they exist in seawater are uniquely hygroscopic (tending to absorb moisture) and are capable of restoring moisture to the skin when in the correct setting.  What this means is the cell’s intracellular water capacity is enhanced and will contribute to the natural moisturizing factor of the skin. This can only work because the concentration of the minerals is hypertonic to the skin.

FROM [DEAD] SEA TO SHINING SEA

There is good news for those of us who live a half a world away from the Dead Sea.  The minerals which are found in the Dead Sea are also found in normal seawater, but at a lower concentration.  Recent studies have shown that the effectiveness of skin treatments is NOT altered by the difference in concentration.

Though the salts concentration of seawater is higher than the salts in our bodies, called hypertonic, the ionic composition in seawater and the human body is virtually the same.  The health benefits to the naturally hypertonic quality of seawater are great, because because our bodies closely match the ions found in the seas and are able to take-up and benefit from those. Medical research continues to show how seawater benefits and nourishes the skin.

CELL HEALTH IS KEY TO GREAT SKIN

The benefits of seawater to the human body are great. Seawater is much more than just H2O – seawater contains all the building blocks for human life, more than 78 essential nutrients.

Why is this important? The visible signs of aging are largely due to the health deficiency of skin cells. Healthy skin cells are better able to protect against the damaging effects of our environment. Healthy cells are able to retain moisture within the cells and to sustain the levels of necessary nutrients to stay healthy. Much like a person trying to eat right to get and stay healthy, skin cells need to receive the proper nutrition to get and stay healthy.

TRACE ELEMENTS CRITICAL TO LIFE

Groundbreaking research in the 1960s by Dr. Maynard Murray found that seawater is the “perfect trace element supplement.” Dr. Murray stated that “seawater is the most ancient natural solution on earth and, in my opinion it is the most ideal physiologically.” Through his research, Dr. Murray found that similar species of plants and animals had remarkably different health patterns if they were seawater based or land/freshwater based.

“For example, freshwater trout all develop terminal cancer of the liver at the average age of 5 1/2 years; cancer has never been found in sea trout.”

Research conducted by Dr. Murray and others has consistently established a lack of disease in in creatures and plants of the ocean. This is notable not only for the lack of terminal or chronic disease, but also in the overall wellness of the sea-life. “These longevity differences are especially evident in such sea mammals as whales, seals and porpoises who have identical physiological systems with the majority of land animals important to man. And the major differences between sea and land life appear to be attributable to the superior food chain of the sea.”

Similarly, research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, made the case that though only twenty elements are known to have specific roles in human physiology, no element can be ruled unessential to humans. More trace elements await discovery as dietary essentials in various species and possibly in humans.

Our present diet is not capable of taking in a complete chemistry, and therefore our cells are incomplete and are subject to invasion by foreign organic matter such as bacteria, virus or fungus. This is why seawater and seawater based nutrients are so important.
