Official Launch of LovelySkin.com New Products (Gel Cleanser for Oily Skin) and Breakthrough Skin Care Collection for Men 

OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 18 — As a recognized provider of quality skincare products, LovelySkin.com, under the direction of board-certified dermatologist Joel Schlessinger, M.D., today announced the official launch of new products from the LovelySkin(TM) line and the introduction of an innovative LovelySkin(TM) product line extension, FixMySkin(TM), aimed at men with skincare concerns such as acne and poor skin texture and other niche products to come.

The content-rich LovelySkin.com website connects users with cosmeceutical grade, spa quality, and salon grade products that are typically available only in a dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon’s office. Products from well-known skin care lines, including Obagi, Peter Thomas Roth, Dr. Brandt, SkinMedica, SkinCeuticals, Murad, LaRoche-Posay, theBalm and RevaleSkin are available for purchase on the website. The company’s focus on providing incomparable customer service is reflected in enhanced features such as price matching and free shipping, and the knowledgeable LovelySkin.com staff provides consultations in order to assist customers in purchase decisions. Additionally, LovelySkin.com newsletters are published monthly and are a must read for consumers who want to be kept up-to-date on breakthrough information on topics such as Botox, skin cancer and the latest FDA regulations.

LovelySkin.com’s signature line of specially formulated skin care products are available on the website and combine the effectiveness of Amino Fruit Acids (AFAs) with the wrinkle fighting power of Vitamin C. The revolutionary LovelySkin(TM) cleanser, toner mist, moisturizer and nighttime Gels soothe and hydrate skin while combating signs of aging. Other LovelySkin(TM) products, including the Acne Care Gel, are designed to treat specific skin conditions.

“One other product we are introducing is the LovelySkin(TM) Gel Cleanser for those with oily skin. This product complements other parts of the regimen, a toner, Gel and moisturizers both with and without oil,” said Joel Schlessinger M.D., founder of LovelySkin.com.

“Our commitment has always been to provide our customers with the highest quality skin care and the most up-to-date dermatological information and treatments,” said Schlessinger. “The official launch of a LovelySkin.com product extension for men reflects our focus on connecting consumers with revolutionary products and an everyday resource for the latest skincare information. As a dermatologist, I have long known that men are the underserved in our skin world. While products abound for women, men oftentimes don’t ‘connect’ with products due to inappropriate fragrances or labeling. FixMySkin(TM) solves that concern.”

Dr. Schlessinger continued, “Products within the LovelySkin(TM) line are able to exfoliate and banish dull skin. They really pack a powerful punch with specially formulated lower pH levels that gently, but effectively, exfoliate the skin. Most products on the market today contain pH levels ranging from 3.8 and upward, which doesn’t allow for much exfoliation, while the LovelySkin(TM) products contain pH levels significantly below this. The lower the pH level, the more exfoliating properties a product contains. At LovelySkin(TM), it is a priority to study the effectiveness of our treatments and products, and studies have shown that the scent-free LovelySkin(TM) product line, when used correctly, is well tolerated by all skin types, hypoallergenic and, best of all, effective. Additionally, we are cruelty-free, performing no animal testing. Lastly, we use recycled products in our packaging and have done so since day one.”

In 2005, Hurricane Katrina attacked US. It was the costliest and one of the deadliest hurricanes in the history of the United States. Many people lost their home and their job.

We still see the impact of this hurricane. As reported, Children are suffering from allergies, asthma, respiratory problems as well as stress related illnesses such as headaches and gastritis. Some children reported, suffering malnutrition problem.

Non profit organization and vitamin distributor, on this summer will give free vitamin to the Katrina Victim children.

Program Launched to Bring Tishcon Donated Daily Multi-Vitamins to Young Katrina Victims

OJAI, Calif., Sept. 13 — This summer Vitamin Relief USA (http://www.vitaminrelief.org) and Tishcon Corp. (http://www.tishcon.com) joined Bay St. Louis-Waveland School District of Mississippi to launch a free vitamin distribution program designed to help reverse health problems in the area’s developing children. In a school district completely crushed by Hurricane Katrina, many of the families with children attending Bay-Waveland schools are unable to provide such basic necessities as a hot nutritious meal or food for sack lunches. Families are also exposed to harmful bacteria and mold created by the massive flooding from the hurricane as well as the area’s high temperatures.

School nurses report that children are suffering from allergies, asthma, respiratory problems as well as stress related illnesses such as headaches and gastritis. The health and well-being of the children have been a concern for parents and teachers alike, but thanks to projects such as Vitamin Relief USA, that concern is being met with action. Vitamin relief is now providing the Bay St. Louis-Waveland School Districts with on-going supplies of high quality children’s chewable multi-vitamins for all its students.

Bay St. Louis-Waveland school district officials were able to open schools again last year, though all classes are now held in metal trailers. Many of the families who attend the schools are still busy rebuilding their lives as well as their bodies. 60-70% of the families still find themselves living in FEMA trailers. It is of the utmost importance that the children living in these conditions receive nutritional support to help strengthen their immune systems so their bodies can fight off harmful mold, bacteria and viruses in their environment and handle the stress of their difficult lives. As many of these trailers and living conditions are not equipped for hot food preparation, home cooked meals for most of these children are non-existent. For many children, malnourishment is a serious problem.

“Vitamin Relief USA is spearheading this free vitamin program to provide these children with the nutritional support they need. The fallout from malnutrition is not only evident in the daily life of a malnourished child, it also negatively impacts their entire family. Malnourished children feel sick, anxious, tired, and unmotivated. These parents are already dealing with so much. Helping improve their children’s health relieves some of the parents’ stress so they can focus on the daunting tasks before them,” says Vitamin Relief USA’s Executive Director Michael Morton.

Recent reports have surfaced in the press saying that many of the FEMA trailers are contaminated with toxicity levels far higher then healthy bodies can handle, let alone malnourished systems, as is the case for many of the trailer’s inhabitants. The toxic element reportedly found in the trailers is Formaldehyde, a common wood preservative used in the trailers’ building materials. According to reports, Formaldehyde gas is emitting from the walls of some of the FEMA trailers and families are unknowingly inhaling the toxic fumes. Currently the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention are conducting a study on this issue at the request of FEMA.

owever, The US Environmental Protection Agency reports that exposure to low levels of Formaldehyde can cause a number of health problems including eye and throat irritation, fatigue, and nausea, but higher levels, such as the ones found in the trailers, can lead to difficulty breathing, attacks in people with asthma, and has caused cancer in animals and may cause cancer in humans.(1) For people with decreased immune systems due to already unhealthy conditions, this exposure to toxins can be even more harmful. It is of extreme importance that these people are given the proper nutritional support to keep as healthy as possible while the research by the CDC is conducted.

By supporting the schools through an on-going supply of daily multi-vitamins, school administrators are able to ensure that their students are receiving the recommended daily amounts of essential vitamins and minerals to help the children’s already taxed bodies during this difficult time. At all participating schools, school health administrators distribute freshly manufactured, high-quality multi-vitamin/minerals to the parents of attending students. Educational information packets are distributed along with the vitamins so that family members will understand the importance of nutrition in helping to support their children’s health.

“Our vitamin programs have a track record of helping malnourished children become healthier and gain emotional balance, immune support, mental alertness and concentration, better grades, school attendance, and even self confidence. These daily multivitamins are extremely helpful for these children, particularly if the reports of Formaldehyde gas in the FEMA trailers are true,” comments Morton.

Thanks to the generous donation of multi-vitamins from Tishcon Corporation, Vitamin Relief USA was able to jump-start this initiative to improve the health and well-being of children and their families throughout Bay St. Louis. “Tishcon Corp. has shown their great generosity for those in need for many years now. We are very grateful to them,” says Morton. Tishcon Corp donated 3 million vitamins for Vitamin Relief USA’s Katrina Relief Program soon after Hurricane Katrina landed two years ago. Since 2000, Tishcon Corp has contributed over 44 million vitamins for Vitamin Relief USA’s children and adult programs across the country.

“Vitamin Relief invites everyone to join with us to help with this serious situation in our nation’s own backyard. To grow stronger as a nation, we must first take care of our own. We can make a tremendous contribution in these families’ health, their future and the future of our nation,” says Morton.

Vitamin Relief USA has received the highest rating, two years in a row,from Charity Navigator, the renowned charity watchdog organization. Independent audits show that 93% of donated funds go directly to Vitamin Relief USA programs. Vitamin Relief USA currently provides daily multi-vitamins to more than 26,000 needy children at more than 300 sites in 33 states across the United States. Vitamin Relief USA has expanded under
the umbrella of Nourish America, to not only provide multi-vitamins but also natural, functional and organic food products and health education to those in need in America.

Nourish America is a dba of Vitamin Relief USA, a tax-exempt, non-profit organization committed to improving the health status of children, seniors and adults at risk for malnutrition through vitamin supplementation, health education, and donations of nutritional foods.

Vitamin C is one of the important vitamin for your body. Vitamin C may help protect you from health disorders, including immune system deficiencies, cardiovascular disease, prenatal health problems, eye disease and cancer. The latest research clinical data shows vitamin C may reduce risks of cancer, heart disease and variety of other health disorders.

Research Review Published in Seminars in Preventive and Alternative Medicine

NEW YORK–A new research review published in Seminars in Preventive and Alternative Medicine (vol. 3, iss. 1, pp. 25-35) shows that vitamin C may help protect against a range of health disorders, including immune system deficiencies, cardiovascular disease, prenatal health problems, eye disease and cancer. The article, titled “Vitamin C Dietary Supplements: An Objective Review of the Clinical Evidence, Part I,” examines data from clinical trials over the past several decades to reveal the growing evidence of vitamin C’s benefits.

The research review, conducted by lead author Mark A. Moyad, MD, MPH of University of Michigan, examined over 100 studies in more than ten different medical specialties that evaluated vitamin C as both a standalone supplement and as a nutrient used to enhance combination products. Emerging from the analysis is evidence that suggests that vitamin C by itself may provide a significant amount of the health benefits attributed to the combination products. The data further suggests that certain vitamin C-containing metabolite formulations, such as Ester-C, may be even more effective than C alone and provide longer-lasting immune enhancement with lower risk of side effects.

“Vitamin C has received more clinical and commercial attention than any other dietary supplement, and for good reason,” said Dr. Moyad. “The more we study vitamin C the more we appreciate its diversity in protecting our health. For example a recently published meta-analysis¹ showed vitamin C to be beneficial to those whose immune systems may be weakened due to stress, something common to most people in today’s society.”

Dr. Moyad and his team are currently designing a clinical study to compare standalone vitamin C with the Ester-C formulation. In one of the largest human studies of its kind to date, the team plans to determine just how effective the nutrient is in impacting the immune system and its related disorders.
