Looks are about the only thing Beginnings has in common with Gommage or other traditional scrubs. Comparing the way they work, which is the important thing, is like comparing night and day. What you see in Gommage or sloughing lotions, are residues of product that is coming off and not the undesirable dead skin. Your skin is left rough, scratchy and dry.

Beginnings, as a matter of fact, is activated only if fatty acids or dead skin are present and literally coagulates and absorbs them, dusting off the unhealthy tissue. Therefore, what you see coming off is your dead skin and not the residue of the product. Beginnings, with its advanced non-abrasive formulation together with the hydrating action of Collagen, will leave your skin firm, polished and radiant.

What makes Beginnings different from other exfoliants?

Beginnings is calcium based versus other over the counter exfoliants that are acid based with an Alpha Hydroxy acid ( glycolic, latic, malic, citric and tartaric acids) or a Beta hydoxy acid (salicylic acid). Prescription exfoliants that include Tretinoin acids are Retin A, micro Retin A and Renova. As you probably know, every other method, whether its a prescription, an over the counter product or a medical procedure - involves acid or some type of irritant that can leave the skin looking unsightly. This is characterized by dry, red, peeling and painful after effects. There has not been a safe alternative, until now.

Harsh irritants can over stimulate oil production, increase dryness, cause breakouts and even destroy the skin's integrity by breaking down its protective barrier. Cosmetic ingredients can cause problems for the skin , even if one cannot feel the resulting irritation. Beginnings, a calcium based product is milder, gentler and less irritating to the skin, while being more effective than other exfoliant products.

Yes, Beginnings will help with acne control because it removes the dead skin and blackheads while minimizing the white heads. This process of exfoliating helps the flow of oil to the skin which promotes healthier, cleaner skin with less clogged pores.

Amazingly, you can see instant results right after the first treatment. It is immediately apparent as dead skin disappears through the unique action of the product. Since there are no unsightly side effects, you will look your best while "turning back the clock."

Beginnings product testing was conducted by Horst A. Ehrhardt, a sought after cosmeceutical authority. Mr. Ehrhardt , a chemist and consultant has been involved in research and development on more than forty products bringing his expertise to Avon, Vidal Sassoon, Rachel Perry and many others. His findings demonstrate that Beginnings offers the unique benefit of lifting or literally absorbing dead skin from the surface without harming healthy tissue.

Before bringing it to market, extensive independent clinical testing was performed. Dr. Ingrid Trenkle, MD, a prominent dermatologist in Southern California, performed an initial evaluation of Beginnings. She was so impressed that she agreed to conduct clinical tests of the product. The patients in the trial experienced zero side effects and reported that Beginnings was gentle and exceptionally effective.

Until now the usual way to remove dull, dead skin was with the usual products and procedures. They have left a lot to be desired. Beginnings with a totally new and revolutionary formula, offers the unparalled benefit of lifting or literally absorbing dead skin from the surface without harming healthy tissue. This process involves a unique formula known as a " non-invasive desquamating agent" (NDA). Beginnings introduces the unique absorbing power of calcium, together with the polishing action of collagen, to extend the healthy life of your skin.

There is no comparison. Microdermabrasion runs into hundreds of dollars and usually involves multiple treatments. Even some quanities of perscription treatments are expensive. Beginnings however is only used twice a week and lasts for three months. Plus, Beginnings is recommended for use on the entire face including sensitive eye and lip areas eliminating the need for an array of costly single purpose products.

It is so easy. Just twice a week, massage a small amount of the pure, cell renewal treatment powder onto your dampened face with moist fingertips. In a circular motion, start at your chin working up to your hairline. You will notice your dead skin roll up immediately, wait a few seconds, rinse, pat dry and moisturize if needed. In one safe, swift and gentle step, your face is exfoliated and hydrated. Beginnings also works its gentle wonders on the most delicate areas - your lips and eyes. You will only need to look in the mirror to discover the fabulous benefits of Beginnings.
