In 1999, I started my own company, The Healthy Skin Shop, Inc., after nearly ten years as a corporate lawyer. My background as a lawyer has served me well in my capacity as a Nutritionist and Skin Specialist. I don't believe everything I read and I possess a "prove it" attitude when it comes to solutions. Nothing I present in this website is done so without considerable research and results that prove satisfactory to me. When I began a new career in skin care, it quickly became apparent to me that building great skin HAD to be an inside-out deal. I was always skeptical of quick fixes and bottled solutions to long standing problems. It makes perfect sense to me that I am growing my own skin, so if I don't like what I see I must somehow tend to myself a little differently. My mission is to make results happen, and to make them happen using the most natural and non-intrusive methods possible. As cliche as this may sound, I believe that you can't fool Mother Nature. I know that longer lasting permanent results are best obtained by working with your body, not overwhelming it with high-powered substances and advanced techniques that ultimately cause your body to do more work. The key to aging gracefully is to treat yourself well! Actually, better than well...to treat yourself supremely. You must love yourself, care for yourself, and show it, every day and in every way. That means fueling your body with the highest quality foods, not bogging your body down with toxins and chemicals (to the extent possible), boosting your body's ability, nutritionally, to deal with the dangers you can not control (such as environmental toxins and pesticides), clearing your mind so you are not functioning on overload (often), and using excellent personal care products to help you achieve your goals. My colleagues don't always agree with me. I refrain from invasive procedures such as microdermabrasion or mega-peels, because I know that anything that causes inflammation in my skin (and inflammation isn't always something you can see with the naked eye) may help skin tissue look better in the short run, but will cause faster aging in the long run. Unfortunately, since natural methods don't make as much money as the more high-tech solutions, they are not pushed as frequently by practitioners, and that's sad, for the consumer. Less invasive measures taken regularly are therapeutically more effective in the long run to prevent aging and to build great skin. Consider me at your service in your quest to look and feel great, and anything I can do for you in that regard is my reward. Stay Well, Maggie Wolfson-Casola, President, The Healthy Skin Shop, Inc. |
