Watch crow's feet fly away with the right eye cream treatment


The first thing most people notice about you is your eyes. In fact, making one's eyes look young, revitalized and wrinkle-free is a top concern for women over the age of 40. At that point, fine lines, smile wrinkles and dark circles can cause one to look years older than they really are.

While doing the obvious, such as wearing SPF daily, not sleeping on your side, and avoiding tobacco can all do wonders for helping stave off or prevent premature wrinkles, what does one do to minimize the lines that are already there?

Proper hydration is key for keeping skin firm, plump and younger-looking. Drier skin types allow wrinkles to be more visible, so finding the right combination of ingredients that firm, nourish and protect the delicate eye area is ideal.

Eye creams on the market today advertise many different breakthrough ingredients, such as caffeine, antioxidants, retinol, peptides and hyaluronic acid. These are effective for many, but some, such as retinol, can be too drying for sensntive skin.

MD Ultimate Eye Cream
However, there are other, lesser used ingredients for eye creams that are just as effective. Ginkgo biloba, a botanical compond long esteemed in many parts of Asia, also has impressive skin regeneration and anti-aging properties. Ginkgo biloba is naturally fortified with flavonoid and terpenoid antioxidants, which can help stave off free radicals and improve blood flow to the skin. It also stimulates skin cell metabolism, and gently firm the skin.

Earlier, we mentioned how important it was to hydrate and moisturize the skin to keep it looking younger. A great skin conditioner that's uncommonly included in eye creams is alfalfa seed extract.  Known to be a fantastic humectant and boosting cell turnover, alfalfa seed extrat provides the right amount of extra moisture drier skin, and especially the eye area, needs to stay looking plumper and naturally firmer over time.  You'll notice a smoother apperance with continued use.

Green tea is a popular drink and is well documented for its benefits when enjoyed as abeverage. However, did you know that you can also use it directly on your skin? Green tea is rich in antioxidants and polyphenols and also serve as an anti-inflammatory. While placing cucumber slices to cool and depuff the eyes work, cold, used green tea bags works much better, and with added skin benefits.

MD Ultimate Eye Cream incorporates all of these key, active ingredients in this potent, hard-working formula, especially created to help reduce the apperance of fine lines and brighten, hydrate and "wake up" your eyes with extended use. This clinical-grade formula is the first cream ever designed to replenish the volume under your eyes resulting in FILLING IN the sunken area under your eyes. Its fast-absorbing texture penetrates instantly to gently massage its ingredients to reduce under eye congestion and restore lost volume under eyes.

You have nothing to lose but those pesky crow's feet. Try MD Ultimate Eye Cream today!

The Nitty Gritty on Your Eyelashes and Mascara


Eyelashes are hairs that protect the delicate surface of the eyeball from dust, sweat and debris. Each lash takes up to 7-8 weeks to grow back, and their lifespan averages around 8 months.  They’re also ultra-sensitive to touch. This sensitivity will warn the eye to instinctively close if something foreign comes too close, such as dust or a flying insect.


A Brief History on Mascara

The first known use of coating ones lashes to enhance their appearance is dated as far back as 3400 B.C. by the ancient Egyptians. They blended kohl, alligator dung, honey, and water to create the very first mascara known in history.
The first inventor of the modern mascara is credited to chemist T.L. Williams in 1915.  Williams noticed his younger sister, Maybel, using a mixture of coal dust and Vaseline to coat her lashes, giving them a fuller, dramatic appearance. Williams used this formula to create his own mascara product and after a prototype name, called it Maybelline after his sister and Vaseline. 


Simple Techniques for Curling your Lashes and Applying Mascara 

Before applying mascara, make sure your lashes are properly curled. Using a quality eyelash curler, position it over your upper lashes, making sure they’re as close to the eyelid as possible without touching it. Press down gently but firmly a few times, then move a little forward up the lash shaft and repeat, moving your wrist upward to shape the curl.  

When using your favorite mascara, be careful to only apply it to your upper lashes. Using the length of the brush, coat your lashes from underneath about 3- 5 times, making sure to cover every lash, especially the tiny ones on the edges.


Eyelash Conditioners and Different Types of Mascara

To have your lashes look thicker, fuller, and longer regardless of what mascara you’re using, you may want to invest in an eyelash conditioner. Look for ones with gentle, follicle-friendly ingredients like cytokines, antioxidants, milk proteins and peptides. Used daily, you should see results in as little as 4 weeks.

Modern mascaras come in many different formulas, such as waterproof, thickening, lengthening, voluminizing, or a combination of the above. Regardless of which you choose, look for tar in the ingredients list (an avoid it), and keep a look out for conditioning ingredients that help fortify your lashes, such as panthenol. Microfiber technology is also popular, used to coat even the tiniest lashes.

Nourish from the inside to help against hair loss with MD Nutri Hair



While statistics show that almost 40% of the people who suffer from hair loss are women, female pattern baldness, or alopecia, treatments is still a largely untapped market. A woman's hair stylist is often one of the first to notice the issue. Many women suffering from hair loss forego treatment due to cost, unavailability of effective items or simply a lack of selection.

A majority of the advice you read on the web or hear from various professionals on how to reduce hair loss usually discuss the benefits of topically applied products (ourselves included)!  Shampoos, conditioners, oils, serums and creams are commonly recommended, and each has various active ingredients that can help against hair loss when used regularly.

However, there are other steps one can take to fight hair loss – namely, nourishing your body and its cells from within. True, eating healthfully, regulating stress (and thus your mind), and exercising regularly all play a part. Supplements are another popular solution, and nutrients such as antioxidants and keratin are common suggestions, since both do wonders for keeping your hair strong and healthy.

However, neither compound really addresses the problem of hair loss directly. Instead of taking 2-4 different supplements to deal with several symptoms or issues, we suggest one simple, natural-based and affordable solution – MD Nutri Hair (previously known as MD Hair Factor). 
MD Nutri Hair’s proprietary blend of biotin, niacin, Vitamin E, omega rich flaxseed meal, and the active ingredient verbascoside (lilac extract) work to stop dihydroxytestosterone (DHT), a hormone causing excess sebum production and androgenic alopecia.  This lilac extract also possess a naturally strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory action against the Malassezia Furfur, a fungus that grows wildly in in hair follicles with too much oil, causing inflammation and ultimately, hair loss.

MD Nutri Hair has an exceptional 28,000 ORAC value to protect and rejuvenate your hair follicles.


The ORAC value is a measurement of antioxidant potency of natural ingredients. Compare that to tradtionally high antioxidant foods such as berries (with about 90 ORA) or the acai berry with about 1,090 ORAC). 


MD Nutri Hair also contains strong anti inflammatory compounds that decreases IL-8 from TNF, a known cause of aging. A full head of hair is a sign of youth, so by protecting and nourishing your follicles with MD Nutri Hair Complex, you too can help your hair reach their fullest potential - literally. 
Together, these clinical strength ingredients favor protein synthesis of hair and hair growth.
We use advanced biotechnology backed by excellent quality standards, and only select the highest verbascoside-producing cell strains from the lilac. As a result, the molecule has a much higher concentration than normal - up to 1,000 times than by using standard extraction techniques.
MD Nutri Hair is also pollutant free and exceed Bio-Eco Cosmesi Guidelines as a certified organic ingredient. The lilac plant stem cells are grown in a sterile and protected environment, without pesticides, heavy metals and toxins.
For an all-in-one supplement specifically for thinning hair and hair loss and rapid results, add MD Nutri Hair to your diet and see less hair on your brush and bathroom floor in as early as a few weeks! Use our QR code for more information.

Your Ultimate Solution to a Greasy, Oily, and Itchy Scalp - At Last


Thinning, oily, hair can often be traced back to its roots – or in this case, the scalp. A flaky, oily, itchy scalp translates to bad hair days, so to tackle the problem you need ingredients that handle the cause efficiently, safely, and naturally.

What exactly causes a flaky, itchy and uncomfortable scalp?
Excessive sebum or oil production is the primary cause for such a scalp condition. The extra oils contribute to an overgrowth of scalp fungus, and that creates dandruff, inflammation and flakes.

Excessive oil production on the scalp is often the reason for an itchy scalp condition, which can contribute to an overgrowth of fungus. That in turn creates dandruff, flakes and inflamed scalp. DHT, or dihydroxytestosterone, can also contribute to an overly oily scalp. DHT is formed when a naturally occurring enzyme called Type II 5-alpha-reductase is combined with normal testosterone. This is also a main cause of hair loss and baldness.

Is there a simple and effective formula to combat this?
There is! We have a breakthrough product specially and physician formulated to cut down on oil production, the enzyme that causes DHT, work against the fungus and bacteria that exacerbate the symptoms, and finally ease your scalp with MD Scalp Essentials.

This naturally inspired and fast acting formula uses two powerful compounds, verbascoside and mandelic acid. The former comes from extracts of the lilac flower, or Syringa vulgaris, while the latter is derived from the extract of bitter almonds, or Prunus dulcis.

Verbascoside
We’ve been able to isolate verbascoside from the lilac through carefully measured and highly sustainable, advanced, and eco-friendly plant stem cell extraction technology. The stem cell cultures of the lilac plant are safely cultivated to generate a pure botanical product several thousand times more potent than normal.

Verbascoside, an antioxidant and defense molecule, is a result of this process. It has been shown to regulate and control your scalp's oil, and quickly relieve an itchy scalp. Its natural anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial nature also helps against the fungus that forms as a result of too much sebum.

Mandelic Acid
Mandelic acid is a pleasantly fragranced alpha-hydroxy acid, formed when heating an extract from bitter almonds with diluted hydrochloric acid. The word mandel is German for almond, hence the name of the AHA that results from it.  

This alpha-hydroxy acid is a very well-known ingredient for anti-aging skin care, and is also used as a treatment after laser surgery. However, its uses for treating oily, itchy scalps, thinning hair and hair loss are not as well documented. We have discovered that the antibacterial and antifungal mandelic acid, when combined with the oil reduction power of verbascoside, harmoniously develops a simple, fast-acting and easy to use formula that will treat your issues right at the source.

MD Scalp Essentials will refresh your greasy scalp, reduce the appearance of dandruff and flakes and soothe an inflamed scalp, resulting in fuller, thicker looking hair and a healthier base overall. Combine this with our other hair restoration and revitalizing products such as MD Nutri Hair, MD Revitalizing Shampoo and Conditioner and soon, MD Restoration System for your best hair day – or year – ever.
