About Reiki...Our Energy Healing Technique

Reiki (ray key) is an energy healing technique used to help support the body's natural ability to heal itself.

The word Reiki is Japanese, and is made up of two terms, Rei and Ki: Rei, meaning universal life force, and Ki, meaning energy.

Reiki is a wonderful way of helping the body heal itself while being very relaxed.

Using specific hand positions either on or over the body, Reiki energy is channeled through the Reiki Practitioner and into the recipient.

This energy healing technique can be done hands on or hands off, whichever way the client is most comfortable. The energy is normally experienced as feeling of warmth and/or tingling.

RAMY beauty therapy AKA RAMY cosmetics - (A LISTING)

RAMY beauty therapy AKA RAMY cosmetics, www.RAMY.com, was started in 1998. It began when Ramy was fired from his job as makeup director at a top 5th Avenue salon because he was undergoing Chemotherapy for Lymphoma. He was told he was "no longer the pretty boy they hired". He began seeing clients out of his apartment and was lucky enough to get a great deal of press as a makeup expert and "eyebrow guru" so he decided to start his own brand that would represent my "Minimum Makeup, Maximum Impact" philosophy.

"Our 'Minimum Makeup, Maximum Impact" philosophy is evident in our multi-purpose, universally flattering products and the "Beauty Therapy" in our name is because everything in the line is made to be good to your skin with anti-oxidant vitamins, anti-aging peptides and skin clearing ingredients like salycilic acid," stated Ramy.

Contact Information: Ramy@Ramy.com

----------------------------------

About Ramy

Ramy began his career in beauty after dropping out of law school and relocating to Sydney, Australia to attend Beauty school. This career change offered Ramy the opportunity to pursue freelance work as a professional makeup artist where he traveled through Singapore and Europe and back to his hometown of New York.

Ramy’s philosophy is simple: “Minimum makeup, Maximum impact!” Meaning, if you select the correct color palette to enhance your features and apply it correctly, you can look younger and more beautiful with a minimum of products and effort.

This viewpoint keeps Ramy busy, as he continues to see clients while working on the development of the RAMY beauty therapy® product collection. His ability to select optimum colors for each individual as well as dramatically lift the eye with his gift for eyebrow shaping, has been written up in the pages of every major fashion and beauty magazine such as Vogue, Allure, Instyle, Shape, Star, Self and Town & Country.

Ramy’s work has also been seen on national television shows including The Oprah Winfrey Show, E! Entertainment Television’s Fashion File and Entertainment Tonight. Ramy’s looks have also graced the runways of recognizable fashion shows such as Valentino and XOXO.

Known as the “Willy Wonka” of the beauty world, Ramy strives to bring innovative formulas and products to the market that did not previously exist. The first eye, cheek and lip formula (Face Gloss) is one example of a product conceived first by Ramy, as well as silicone based liquid to powder formulas.

RAMY products are also known for our cool packaging and formulas that actually keep their promises. A favorite of celebrities, models and beauty editors, we have built our following by introducing people to products they fall in love with and which become their beauty staples.
RAMY beauty therapy® incorporates Ramy’s “Minimum Makeup, Maximum Impact!” philosophy with his holistic approach to well-being. The entire multi-purpose product line is formulated with anti-oxidant vitamins, Avocado Oil and sunscreens. The oil-free powder formulations are silicone treated and micronized for incredible wear and a lightweight feel. Most incredibly, this basic face collection is suitable for any skin tone, from the lightest to the darkest complexions.

The line includes an array of “the best of the basics” - products and colors that can create a variety of both glamorous and wearable looks for everyone.

Overall, Ramy is known for his humor, honesty and creative mind. As long as he is helping people bring out their individual beauty and ability to feel good about themselves, while creating innovative and unique products, he will continue to rock the beauty industry!

Intelligent Skin Sense strives to raise the bar in the beauty culture through brand integrity through its products and educational platforms.

A spa industry pioneer, Marlene Katz launched the day spa concept nearly twenty-five years ago when she opened her first highly acclaimed and celebrity frequented spa in New York City. One of the first to recognize the healing power of holistic spa treatments to fight the signs of aging, Marlene incorporated home-prepared herbal skin treatments to her spa's menu. Utilizing her past experiences and expertise of the spa industry, Marlene created Intelligent Skin Sense skin and body care products and a green spa to provide quality age rebelling services and products. When Marlene is not cooking up spa formulas she spends her spare time concocting many healthy recipes for her family (and dogs). Her new project is a lifestyle book on spa living at home.

Rebel against time, with ISS, H202 series. ISS, the acronym for intelligent skin sense, embraces traditional herbal ingredients fueled with scientific smart ingredient action. The demise of collagen begins the aging process. To keep collagen strong the cells need water and proper oxygenation. Using high performance bio-effective peptides and multi-functional botanical complexes, ISS products promote collagen, enhance cellular respiration and replenish thirsty skin.

BODY SERIES
ISS´s complete body care system combines nature, technology and common sense. The holistic formulas work synergistically with the bodies natural cycle. A high concentrate of Native American Indian, Chinese and Aruveydic herbs actively penetrate the skin. Pure flower essences and natural dyes make the products gentle enough for the most sensitive skin.

Our fast paced environment naturally affects the skin as well. When energy is depleted the skin may be the first tell-tail sign. Cellulite, dryness and skin rashes indicate an imbalance in the body. Hormones, poor eating habits and daily stress cause havoc on the lymphatic system which flushes out toxins and brings nutrients to the cells.

ISS works holistically to help you maintain a feeling of well-being. Exercising regularly, eating nutritious food and partnering with ISS will diminish cellulite, make stretch marks less visible, even skin tone and increase in circulation. Working with all senses, ISS products nourish the mind, body and spirit and to restore balance to the skin.
