Collagen Restoring Oils For Youthful Skin – A Keys® Tradition

Collagen-restoring oil is a type of moisturizer that contains collagen-rich ingredients like avocado oil, black seed oil, carrot seed oil, and other plant oils-rosins. It is designed to improve collagen production in the skin, giving it a smooth and youthful look. Collagen restoring oil can be used on the face or body and is known to restore elasticity, tightness, and even tone. Some collagen restoring oils also contain additional ingredients like Vitamin C, Omega 3’s, and Glycerin to restore lost elasticity and firmness. Collagen restoring oil can help soothe and nourish “stressed” skin, promote collagen synthesis, and offer minor protection from skin damage caused by UV rays and pollutants. Many Keys® products contain restoring oils. Just keep an eye out for the ingredient decks listing avocado oil, black seed, Tamanu and carrot seed, including Keys® Element 6. Label and ingredient details are found on each product detail page by clicking on the product name or image in our store. Collagen Restoring Oil: A Powerful Elixir for Youthful Looking Skin and Anti-Aging Introduction: As we age, our skin undergoes various changes, including a decrease in collagen production, leading to fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. Fortunately, advancements in skincare technology have […]

Alternative Skin Health for Me

Alternative Skin: My Annual Plea The meaning of alternative skin health for me is me taking responsibility for my skin health. Being responsible for me as the manager of me. Yes, I consult with doctors and experts, but I am ultimately responsible for my well-being and my skin health. So are you. Keys’ quest for skin health began in 1996 when I was diagnosed and treated for Melanoma skin cancer. A successful Mohs surgery found me afflicted with all sorts of skin disorders from the chemicals in the prescription skincare that was my post-surgery regimen. I said to my boyfriend, “I want to feel good about myself and solve my skin problems. It is no surprise that our mission statement for Keys when it became a real products company was that, “We solve skin problems and make people feel good.” That was nearly 24 years ago. I was shocked when I eliminated a specific list of chemicals called the “Dirty Dozen” that my skin disorders disappeared. We used the phrase “Chemical-Free Skin Health,” which riled even our friends in the industry. They said, “Everything is a chemical.” Not wanting to piss off their supporters, we understood that the phrase meant […]

Special Important Notice – China

China Severe Shipping Bottleneck- Critical Message, August 30, 2021 Dear Customers and Retailers, As you probably have read the headlines, there is a severe supply situation worldwide resulting from Covid. It is becoming extremely tough to get products and materials out of China. It is the proverbial Catch-22! Keys have no immunity to this situation because some containers we use are made in China. As an FYI, almost all skin and personal care products on the market today have to rely on China because the US and Europe have stopped manufacturing the containers and bottles. Hopefully, this will change, but for now, all those made in China stickers you see on just about everything are going to be harder and harder to get. This is an image of the supply chain roadblock in China. Below is a graphic of the 100+ container ships sitting outside of Long Beach, California harbor. Some for over a month. There are no train cars to load containers onto to distribute to locations across the country. There are no empty containers in China because they are all sitting in harbors worldwide waiting to be unloaded or waiting for ships to return home. Container ships are […]

Autoimmune Skin Disorders – The 80/20 Rule

In life, there seem to be consistent numbers that play out. One set is commonly called the 80/20 Rule. In tech, it meant that 20% of the people do 80% of the work. In the science of skin, it seems that 80% of autoimmune skin disorders are caused by just one thing. Recently some science has confirmed that trend. A recent study I have read suggests that 80% of skin disorders are autoimmune related. In my book, Chemical-Free Skin Health®, I connected some of these to chemicals in everyday skincare products. The most notable are Phthalates and Parabens. Phthalates are chemical enhancers of fragrance, and parabens are a biocide preservative. Both toxicities are cumulative. Another 80/20 rule in skincare is that 80% of autoimmune disorders strike women, with 20% affecting men. The most obvious for a first principle thinker is that women are the primary users of chemical-laden skincare and personal care products. When I wrote my book, estimates were that women used an average of 38 personal care products every day. Ironically, another study I have just read that is pre-peer-review notes that autoimmune skin diseases decreased during Covid. Which to me, also relates to the fact that women […]

Breanne’s – Keys Video Reveals Her Regimen

Hi All, Well, Bre is at it already telling her fans about her love affair with Keys. This YouTube video is about her favorite Keys regimen. I already knew that Bre is a huge Tortuga fan. In her video, she reveals that she uses it as a facial moisturizer. True! We have always let people know that Tortuga is an everywhere lotion. Many actors and makeup artists have found that the constant makeup on and off really dries the actor’s skin. Tortuga is a fast deep conditioning lotion and facial moisturizer. Bre had some sunspots on her arms and Nextra started working right away. So like Tortuga, Nextra serves more than one purpose. It is not just for the face. One of our makeup artists is experimenting with Nextra using Red Light Therapy. More of that later. Reflex ProBiome is our deepest oil and serum moisturizer. There is nothing like it and a fraction of the price of other serums from both beauty and Rx brands. Bre offers a coupon to use for first-time buyers of Keys. Sorry, if you are already a Keys customer, the code will not work. You have returning customer privileges, so you […]
