What is Ketsugo?

Ketsugo is a unique skin treatment that reduces and normalises oily skin and is very effective on both oily and combination skin anywhere on the body.

Research shows that 80% of teenagers experience some form of clogged pores, spots and blackheads on the face, neck, chest and back areas due to excessive oil production.

Ketsugo can be used on its own, as a treatment product, or in conjunction with your normal skincare products.

The active compound in Ketsugo was originally extracted from a marine-based organism. It is now made synthetically and is known as Isolutrol. This ingredient has the unique ability to gently normalise and reduce the amount of oil that the skin’s oil(sebaceous)glands produce. Japanese and Australian scientists worked for over five years to isolate this substance into a pure, effective and usable compound. When they finally succeeded the scientific breakthrough was considered so important that Isolutrol is now protected by a world patent.

Ketsugo can normalise the oil production from the sebaceous glands within 4-6 weeks. Improvements can be seen after only 1-2 weeks. Ketsugo is allergy-tested and is well tolerated, even on sensitive skin.

Oily Skin

• Oily skin is the result of over productive sebaceous glands. Ketsugo gently reduces the amount of oil(sebum) produced by the sebaceous glands. During the treatment with Ketsugo, the sebaceous glands gradually produce a normal amount of oil and the skin does not dry out. Over drying of the skin can lead to more production of oil to compensate for the dryness.
• Combination skin happens when oil production varies over the facial area. It is often referred to as the T zone and incorporates the forehead, nose and chin area of the face. The T zone can be prone to oiliness leading to clogged pores and outbreaks of spots. The remaining area of facial skin can be dry or normal. Combination skin often occurs during the summer months or for women at the onset to PMT.
• Whiteheads, blackheads, spots and acne can be caused by hormonal disorder, stress and nervousness.
• These symptoms can aggravate and enlarge the sebaceous glands which then produce excess oil.
• Skin then becomes shiny, pores expand and the complexion looks blemished.
• If left untreated, the problem can get worse as the elimination of dead skin cells begins to slow down blocking the sebaceous glands and preventing oil from getting through.
• KETSUGO has been the subject of a series of very thorough and strictly controlled clinical and safety studies plus assessment by a dermatologist on men and women with excessively oily facial skin: 40 men and women with severe oiliness of the facial skin took part in trials conducted by a French dermatologist. Results show that within 21 days, 65% of the men and women had skin within the normal oiliness range and all reported an improvement in the quality and feel of their facial skin.

Pro Tan

Our Pro Tan Range contains (so far) two products especially for bronzer looking legs.

From iVillage:

St Tropez tan

The white packaging is about all that is underwhelming about this product. It’s not cheap and so I was worried about how much a summer glow was going to cost. I was initially perplexed by the suggested
routine of exfoliation with the St Tropez exfoliator, followed by the moisturiser and the colour, but all doubts vanished after the first application. I simply mixed just a couple of ’squeezes’ of the brown
colour into the moisturiser and started to apply. I was pleasantly surprised by how far it went when mixed. Any worries I had about the deep brown colour disappeared and, as it has a slight tint, I
immediately saw a noticeable difference. I was also pleased that there was no ‘before and after’ effect, but rather a gradual colour development which lasted. It gives a lovely natural glow (the sort that
people comment on) without the hint of an orange tinge, and no streaks.

Star rating: 5/5
iVillage Verdict: Expensive, but well worth it.

I have been working with Jessica products for the last 6 years now and swear by them. I have helped so many people to achieve the perfect nails with these products.

But recently my nails have been peeling and have been extremely bendy which isn’t usual and I am using my critical care to strengthen and fusion to stop peeling but it just isn’t enough and then I discovered “Coat of Armour”

After applying my treatments for peeling and soft nails I have started to apply a Coat of Armour.
It is applied in 3 quick strokes and glides on like a gel formula. It is so durable and the nail colour slides on and sits in the gel holding on firmer so not only are my nails even more protected but my colour is lasting even longer and my nails are growing strong.

Everyone should know about this fantastic product as winter is drawing in and nails are becoming brittle.
