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.

Intelligent Skin Sense - (A REVIEW)



Intelligent Skin Sense’s (http://www.intelligentskinsense.com/index.html) mission is to offer a healthy philosophy with holistic tools that will inspire a realization that beauty and enrichment begin from the inside out. 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.
