THE BUZZ The Power of Plants


to have the potency and power to cause signifi cant skin rejuvenation. Think about the power of 3 types of plants in a very negative way fi rst. If you touch these plants or in some cases just brush


O


up against them you will look like you belong in a horror movie and it can cause the most severe, aggravating symptoms of al- most anything you’ve ever had in your life. You may even need a trip to your doctor for help. What kind of powerful compound is found in Poison ivy, Poison oak and Poison sumac which could destroy your skin? All three plants contain the same rash- triggering plant oil called urushiol (pronounced yoo-ROO-shee- all). It has the power to create mild to severe reactions. Pretty powerful for “just a plant” wouldn’t you say?


Now let’s look at the power of plants in a completely posi-


tive way. Certain plant extracts and seed extracts can affect your appearance and your health in the most beautiful way imagin- able. It’s a serious science. Also, all the different chemicals, synthetics and other toxins found in many of today’s face creams can be very damaging in the same way but over a slower amount of time. The positive power of plant extracts and compounds is very potent and life changing not just for your face but for your entire well being because most of what we apply to our skin (our largest organ) gets absorbed into the blood stream and circulates all through your organs and biological mechanisms down to the cellular level. As you now realize, nothing comes close to the power of certain plants, berries, and seed oils. When these plants, seed extracts and the compounds are incorporated in a special skin cream, the results can be amazing.


When you apply Immortal Opulence skin cream, the power-


ful plant extracts are safe to use and precision balanced in order for the compounds to activate in a positive way, fully addressing the signs of aging and rejuvenating your skin to optimal levels. Yes, it’s a serious science but when applied properly you get all the positives and none of the dangerous negatives. To see a com- plete list of our ingredients, visit www.immortalopulence.com.
