Athena 7 Minute Lift Application Instructions |
Please follow these application instructions in order to obtain the best possible results from your Athena 7 Minute Lift. Please visit the Contact Us Page and we will assist you with your questions. Initial application method Thoroughly cleanse the face using your usual cleanser and then moisturise - non-oil based is preferred. Athena 7 Minute Lift must be applied on clean skin after you have moisturised - please wait for 10 minutes to allow your moisturiser enough time to soak in. Mix the cream in the jar with a toothpick to liquefy the product before it is applied. Remove a very small amount from the Jar and place it on the skin (about the size of a peppercorn is enough for each target area) - do one target area at a time. Work the product into your skin using a Brush (preferred method) that has been dampened with water to prevent the brush from soaking up the product before you have a chance to apply it. The Athena 7 Minute Recomended application brush is now available for sale - only $15.00. Do a small area at a time - don't try to do the whole face at once as it is likely to dry with a slight white residue. If you do get this residue, you have used too much product in that area. After waiting the 7 minute setting time it can be cleaned up by moistening a cotton tip or cotton pad with water and gently wiping the affected area to blend it in before you apply any make up. Continue to apply the product to your desired areas until finished. You will feel a tightening sensation which will subside within a few minutes. Make sure you rinse your brush well when finished to ensure it does not get clogged. Ensure you remain expressionless for 7 minutes whilst Athena 7 Minute Lift goes to work. Try not to talk, frown or move till the 7 minutes has passed. Many of our clients use this time to relax before they commence their busy day or head out to that dinner party or function. After the 7 minutes has passed you can continue with applying your make up over the top. Treat your skin gently when applying foundation. Many of our clients have found that they can now switch to a light powder based Foundation instead of a liquid type as the Athena has successfully flattened out the fine lines and wrinkles which means less make up is now required to give you the desired look. A non-oil based foundation is recommended as oil based foundations will reduce the effects of Athena. Re-application method You may find that you want to re-apply Athena after several hours to 'freshen up' your look. Using your application brush, dampen it with some water. Remove a very small amount of product from the jar and place it on your skin in the desired area - remember you are only touching up target areas so less product will be required. Apply it sparingly and gently over the top of your makeup to your target areas. The active ingredient that is responsible for a large part of the process is Hexapeptide 3 - also known as, Argirline and the preservative is Mountain AshBerry. No gimmicks, muscle relaxers and harmful chemicals are used. This natural botanical cream is made with 12 essential oils commonly used in Greece for their restorative beauty power. These are listed as follows: - ORGANIC JASMINE OFFICINALE (jasmine oil)Very expensive and difficult to produce, jasmine oil is known for it's anti-inflammatory properties, it's deep rich scent, and it's ability to help calm and restore the skin. It is often called the "king of essential oils" and has been trusted for centuries for it's soothing effect on skin irritations along with it's ability to help calm and restore the skin. ORGANIC CITRUS MEDICA LIMONUM (lemon peel oil)Introduced to Europe by the returning Crusaders in the Middle Ages, lemon peel oil helps bring balance to the fluids in the cells of the skin. It helps stabilize the pH of the skin by counteracting the acidity on it's surface. Lemon oil also helps calm redness and irritation and freshen dull, dry skin. ORGANIC CITRUS AURANTIUM DELCIS (orange peel oil)A gentle aromatic oil extracted from the peel of bitter oranges, orange peel oil helps sooth, soften and clarify the skin. It helps protect the skin against free radical damage because, just like lemon peel oil, it is a concentrated form of vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant. It adds an enchanting, floral note and was used in ancient Greece and Rome. ORGANIC CITRUS GRANDIS (grapefruit peel oil)Very high in vitamin C, grapefruit helps protect against free radical damage and has a cleansing effect on the skin. It is also used in anti-cellulite treatments and in massage oils. As with all citrus oils, grapefruit peel oil helps to brighten dull, tired skin. ORGANIC ROSA DAMASCENA (rose flower oil)Rose is the world's most precious essential oil and is celebrated in legend. According to Greek myth, the red rose sprang from the blood of Adonis and the name rosa means "red" in Greek. It helps sooth sensitive skin. ORGANIC PRUNUS AMYGDALUS DULCIS (sweet almond oil)Almond trees are believed to have originated in the Mediterranean area around Greece. Sweet almond oil is obtained from dried kernels of the almond tree. This oil is an excellent emollient and helps the skin to balance it's loss and absorption of moisture. It is a light, non-greasy, penetrating oil, rich in essential fatty acids and vitamins A, B1, B2, B6 and E. ORGANIC MENTHA PIPERATA (peppermint oil)Widely cultivated for it's fragrant oil, peppermint has been used for centuries, it dates back to ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome. (It's name is derived from "Mintha", a Greek nymph.) Because of it's wonderful aroma, the ancient Greeks rubbed peppermint leaves on dining tables to welcome guests. Peppermint refreshes the senses and helps invigorate and replenish tired, stressed skin. ORGANIC SESAMUM INDICUM (sesame seed oil)The use of the healthful properties of sesame seed oil can be traced back almost 5,000 years. It is a natural skin moisturizer and antioxidant, rich in lecithin, Vitamin B complex and Vitamin E, and is easily absorbed into the skin. ORGANIC ANTHEMIS NOBILIS (chamomile flower oil)The name chamomile is derived from the Greek "chamos" (ground) and "melos" (apple.) Chamomile has been mentioned in medical writings for centuries and was celebrated for it's cleansing, anti-inflammatory properties. In Greek tradition, chamomile is called the "plant physician" because it heals ailing plants in it's vicinity. It contains Azulene, which helps to reduce puffiness and cleanse impurities from the pores, as well to help soften the skin. The British Herbal Compendium lists chamomile for use with irritated skin. ORGANIC LEONTOPODIUM ALPINUM (edelweiss extract)Edelweiss is a small, perennial flower found high in Mountain settings where the air is very clean. Thus it is exposed to high UV radiation and extremes of temperature during the growing season. Because of this, edelweiss developed protective metabolites and a high concentration of flavonoids to make it an excellent antioxidant and free-radical scavenger with the ability to help neutralize the oxides involved in aging of the skin. ORGANIC PERSEA GRATISSIMA (avocado oil)Natural avocado oil is easily absorbed by the skin. It's nourishing emollient properties make it ideal to help relieve dry, dehydrated skin. It is also high in sterolins (plant steroids), which help reduce age spots and moisturize the upper layers of the skin. It is rich in Vitamins A, B1, B2, D, E, essential fatty acids and lecithin. A 1991 study at the Department of Food Engineering and Biotechnology (Technion-Israel Institute of Technology) found that skin treatment with avocado oil significantly increases water soluble collagen. ORGANIC OLEA EUROPAEA (olive fruit oilPeople in the Mediterranean region have considered olive oil sacred for thousands of years. In Greek mythology, the goddess Athena is said to have conveyed this wonderful plant to the people. Rich in Vitamins A, D, E and K, plus antioxidants like flavonoids and polyphenols, olive oil is an effective component in neutralizing the free radicals that damage healthy skin and contribute to aging. Olive oil also helps the skin regulate it's natural moisturizing systems. Because of it's unique ability to mix with water, it penetrates deeper into the skin, helping it to hold moisture without clogging the pores. ORGANIC LAVANDULA ANGESTIFOLIA (lavender oil)Lavender oil is one of the most widely used essential oils and is native to the Mediterranean region. It was used to help wounds in ancient Greece and Rome and still is today. In addition to it's calming, relaxing fragrance, the lavender flower has natural antiseptic and astringent properties when applied to the skin that were recognized centuries ago. (In fact Greek and Roman soldiers often carried lavender oil in first-aid kits.) Because it is high in esters, lavender oil can help sooth irritated skin and protect it from further damage.
