Each of us has a particular skin type. Maybe your skin is dry. Perhaps it is oily, or a combination of the two. There are 5 basic skin types, each determined by heredity as well as by your environment, such as sunlight, wind, air pollution, diet, and stress. Before selecting the LBri Pure n Natural products that are best for you, determine your skin type. Which of the following best describes your skin:

Normal Skin
Normal Skin is the goal of every skin care program. Normal Skin is like that of a child, not too oily or dry with few if any blemishes. Normal Skin appears moist, plump and dewy. The pores are small to medium in size. The skin is of medium thickness and is even in tone. Normal Skin is soft, smooth, and firm with good elasticity. Key Description Balanced.

For Normal Skin, order the LBri Gentle Skin Care Trio.

Oily Skin
Oily Skin exhibits a shiny appearance and is usually thicker, firmer, and less sensitive to the touch than the other types. The pores, visibly more noticeable, are medium to large in size. Individuals with Oily Skin tend to experience recurring clogged pores, blackheads, whiteheads, and blemishes. Key Description Overactive.

For Oily Skin with no break-outs, order the LBri Deep Pore Skin Care Trio.

For Oily Skin with break-outs, order the LBri Deep Pore Cleanser, Deep Pore Freshener, and use LBri Aloe Jelly as your moisturizer.

For Oily Skin that is excessively oily with blemishes or acne, order the LBri Deep Pore Cleanser, Deep Pore Freshener, and use LBri Aloe Jelly as your moisturizer. In addition, we suggest our KlearAway lotion formulated with specific blemish fighting ingredients that will prevent new blemishes from occurring and will speed the healing of existing blemishes.

Dry Skin
Dry Skin feels tight and may exhibit visible flaking. Often delicate and easily irritated, Dry Skin may be sensitive to cold weather. Dry Skin has the appearance of a matte finish, lacking sheen. It may be rough to the touch. The appearance of Dry Skin may be due to a superficial dry condition caused by exposure to sun, sea, air, wind, or pollutants. A superficial dry condition can be aggravated by using soap as a cleanser or failing to apply a protective moisturizer. Certain skin diseases such as eczema, mild psoriasis, or atopic dermatitis can be mistaken for Dry Skin. Key Description: Underactive.

For Dry Skin, order the LBri Gentle Skin Care Trio.

For extremely Dry Skin, order the LBri Gentle Cleanser, Gentle Freshener; and Intense Moisture Crme.

Combination Skin
Those with Combination Skin exhibit two or more skin type characteristics on various parts of the face. For example, the forehead, nose and chin (known as the T-Zone) may be oily while the cheeks and around the eyes are Normal to Dry. Approximately 95 percent of individuals with Combination Skin fit this description. Combination Skin may involve an oily forehead, dry cheeks, but be normal everywhere else, or skin that is normal in the T-Zone and dry everywhere else. Key Description: Asymmetric.

For Combination Skin, order the LBri Combination Skin Trio which consists of the Deep Pore Cleanser, Gentle freshener and Gentle moisturizer.

Sensitive Skin
Sensitive Skin tends to overreact to environmental influences such as sun, wind, temperature extremes, and some cosmetics. Easily irritated, this skin type exhibits redness or a rash, itching, stinging, or a burning sensation. Sensitive Skin may develop distended or broken capillaries and allergic reactions. Usually sunburns easily. Key Description: Delicate.

For Sensitive Skin, order the LBri Gentle Skin Trio.

Pure Aloe and Natural Ingredients

We unlocked the healing power of aloe vera to formulate skin care products that not only moisturize, but also repair damaged skin. Aloe vera contains 75 nutrients, 200 active compounds, 20 essential minerals, 18 amino acids, and 12 vitamins. Nicknamed the burn plant, aloe vera has been the subject of numerous scientific inquiries and has been used as a healing agent for thousands of years.

The benefits of aloe are well documented. But how does aloe vera work to heal and rejuvenate delicate skin tissue? Aloe slows the aging process in several ways. As an excellent cleansing and detoxifying agent, aloe removes dead skin cells, wastes, and toxins while purifying the pores. Researchers now know that aloe stimulates proteolytic enzyme action in skin tissue, enhancing the process of cell division. Specifically, fibroblast cells that manufacture collagen, needed to keep the skin firm, are produced six to eight times faster than normal cells. Finally, the vitamins, minerals, and amino acids found in aloe nourish and moisturize the skin. In effect, aloe rejuvenates and rebuilds new healthy skin at an accelerated pace in the same process that gives children that fresh, healthy glow.

In addition, the nature of aloe as a succulent acts as a moisturizing agent, slowing evaporation and drawing moisture from the air around us. Aloe penetrates the outer skin surface, taking its healing power deep inside the tissue to stimulate cell revitalization.

We are so convinced of the healing power of aloe, that we made it the first ingredient in all of our skin care products. In fact, every LBri skin care product is formulated using the finest natural ingredients combined with the latest technological advances. As a result, LBri Pure n Natural products strike a perfect balance between nature and science.

We insist on the best such as pharmaceutical-grade, natural ingredients and we refuse to add harmful preservatives, artificial fragrances, and coloring. LBri Pure n Natural skin care products NEVER contain lanolin oil, mineral oil, waxes, fillers, SD 40 alcohol, or artificial coloring often used in skin care products. LBri Pure n Natural products are proven pure, safe, and beneficial.

Daily use of LBri Pure n Natural Skin Care products will help off-set the effects of free radicals in the skin caused by environmental pollutants and overexposure to the suns ultraviolet rays.

ALOE AND AGING SKIN

These two prunes tell the LBri anti-aging story. The prune subjected to mineral oil, one of the most widely found ingredients in over-the-counter moisturizers, appears heavy and wrinkled. Similar results occur when the skin is treated with heavy oils and/or waxes. In contrast, the prune in LBris Aloe Vera Barbadensis looks lighter and plump, almost like a plum again. These dramatic examples prove beyond a doubt that heavy oils weigh down and suffocate the skin while LBris Aloe Vera Barbadensis helps restore the skins natural beauty. Amazing!

The Story of Aloe Vera (Barbadensis)

Keeping your skin beautiful and healthy does not just happen. Skin must be pampered, protected, and preserved through a daily regimen of skin care to achieve and maintain a more youthful, healthier, and lovelier complexion. There are so many skin care products on the market today, with each claiming to "be the best." How can you know which is best for you? We with "LBri Pure n' Natural" believe that by understanding how our products work, and by the results you can see for yourself, you will know why our skin care collection sets us apart from the rest.

There are over 200 different species of Aloe. Of the 200+ species of Aloe only four are recognized as being of nutritional value to humans and animals. Aloe Barbadensis Miller (pronounced bar-ba-den-sis) is the top of these four, since it is the most potent and nutritious -- with only mature plants bearing the greatest benefits.

The Aloe Vera Barbadensis gel is well known as a healing agent, for burns, bruises, cuts, abrasions, insect bites, and other damaged skin tissues. Its powers have been recounted for thousands of years. There is historical documentation that shows that Aloe Vera was being used as far back as l,500 BC and it is often referred to as "Natures Pharmacy." Legend has it that the Aloe Vera was Cleopatras beauty secret. The Bible speaks of aloe in over a dozen passages, referring to it as the "bitter herb," it also tells us of Christs body being wrapped in myrrh and Aloe following His crucifixion. The journals of Marco Polo speak of its magical powers and Columbus mentions the mysterious properties of the plant.

Now, we at LBri have unlocked the mysteries of the Aloe Vera Plant, and formulated skin care products that not only moisturize, but help heal damaged skin tissue. We want you to understand these mysteries, too.

Modern research reveals that one of the plants mysteries is its enhancement of a proteolytic enzyme action in the skin tissue. By helping the natural process of cell division and sloughing off of dead cell tissue, the Aloe in effect rejuvenates and rebuilds new healthy tissue at an accelerated pace -- the same process that gives children that fresh, pink, healthy glow.

Because Aloe is a succulent it helps to maintain the natural moisturizing agents in the skin -- helping retard the natural evaporative process and even drawing moisture from the air around us.

We also know that the Aloe is able to penetrate the outer skin surface -- to take its healing and moisturizing processes deeper within our skin. Its benefits, unlike other ingredients, penetrate and don't merely "cover-up."

You may have heard that other products have Aloe in them -- when they do it's not the FIRST ingredient. However, the "LBri Pure n Natural" Skincare collection is formulated to provide the most concentrated and effective use of Aloe now available.

First, our LBri collection draws its plants from only the highest grade cultivated in the Rio Grande Valley. The hand-picked leaves are then hand-filleted to ensure that only the purest, innermost gel of the plant is used. Many products on the market will grind or squeeze the plant. Invariably, this results in tainting their gel with aloins -- (a yellowish substance found in Aloe Vera,) which is harmful to skin tissue. The attention we use results in a completely clear gel -- a sure sign of the very highest grade of Aloe gel.

Unlike other products using Aloe, the "LBri Pure n Natural" Skincare Collection uses a cold stabilization process (the secret of our gel) as opposed to a heat pasteurization process which "cooks-out" most of the Aloes natural benefits and healing properties. Through our cold stabilization process, the LBri Skincare Collection retains 100% of the plants mysterious and wonderful properties.

The "pure" gel of the unadulterated Aloe Vera thus forms the base and is the FIRST INGREDIENT in our complete line of Skincare products -- and we refuse, unlike many of the products on the market, to water-down the pure gel or use water as the first ingredient.

At LBri, everything we put our name on, is developed within the perfect balance of nature and technology. LBri Skincare Collection is as natural as they can be, for being man made. Each product combines effective natural ingredients such as vitamins, fruit acids, alpine herbs, and amino acids, with sound Skincare science, to create formulas that really work -- products which will give you healthier, more youthful and radiant skin.

We're very passionate that products perform and do what they promise, Brian says. In general, as an industry, skin care and cosmetics sell a lot on fluff and pretty packaging, sweet scents, and supermodels. Consumers see the advertising and purchase products without realizing the products may contain pore-clogging waxes, lanolin, drying alcohols, mineral oils, artificial colors, synthetic fragrances, and other potentially harmful ingredients.

The first item listed on a label is the products primary ingredient, he says. For example, many skin care products list water as the primary ingredient. Explains Brian Kaminski, Water is okay, but aloe vera is better. I think everyone would agree, especially anyone who has tried it, that aloe vera is better for your skin than water. For this reason, we suggest looking for skin care products that list aloe vera rather than water as the basic ingredient.

According to Brian and his wife, Linda, aloe vera contains 75 nutrients, 200 active compounds, 20 essential minerals, 18 amino acids, and 12 vitamins. Nicknamed the burn plant, aloe vera has been the subject of numerous scientific inquiries and has been used as a healing agent for thousands of years.

Customers of LBri Pure n Natural products tend to be intensely loyal to the LBri brand because the companys skin care products use aloe vera as the basic ingredient rather than water. At LBri, we talk about educating consumers so they can judge for themselves what is better for them, Linda explains. Which is better? Aloe or water? Which would you prefer, a water-based product or a skin care product that uses aloe as the primary ingredient?

Adds Brian, an educated customer will purchase the best products for themselves and their family. When considering a skin care product, we want people to read the label before admiring the attractive bottle and enjoying the scent. Does the product contain water, mineral oil, artificial coloring, and beeswax, or do the ingredients promote skin health?

In addition to aloe vera, LBri Pure n Natural skin care products contain select natural vitamins, herbs, sea plants, and botanicals formulated to heal, nurture, and rejuvenate the skin. The companys formulations rely on coneflower, Japanese green tea, passion flower, ginseng, and a variety of other botanicals.

Before investing in a skin care product, study the label and learn about the ingredients, suggests Linda Kaminski. Look for ingredients that are safe, effective, and healthy for your skin.
