Non-surgical facial contouring or highlighting can be used to help even out facial features and also to help us look more youthful.

We highlight to bring out the feature or we contour to reduce the area.

So if we have a crooked or larger nose we can use this same concept to help straighten a crooked nose or reduce a large nose.

Having more even facial features is the key to aesthetic facial beauty – yes beauty from a cosmetic perspective is all about creating the perfect facial harmony.

Creating The Perfect Face – The Golden Ratio Beauty Calculator
Lets examine the theory of how beauty can be placed into numbers. Dr Atia was a bit of a mathematical genius at school so he loves the mathematical theory that is behind beauty when he is practising his cosmetic surgery, so lets discuss the Golden Ratio and how studies of top models have shown that they have countless numbers of this ratio in their faces.

What is this ratio? Well to be exact it is 1.6180339…. and you can find it by specific measurements of your face.

Beauty in the Eye of the Beholder
Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder but according to a study from the University of Nebraska, a smaller nose and chin, along with a larger distance between the eyes and a smaller mouth width are deemed desirable traits for women. Females were proven to be seen as the fairer sex, rated more attractive by both men and women.

So yes if we are not all born with these “perfect beauty number proportions” don’t worry, you can now achieve this effect with some simple contouring and highlighting tricks. Now you know that’s what the models and their clever make up artist do with ease! Use this guide from Dr Atia’s Makeup Prescription Pad and get Kim Kardashian’s star contours in a flash.

The Mask of Divine Proportion
As Cosmetic Surgeons have to be extra skilled at creating aesthetic beauty, Dr Stephen Marquartdt developed a facial mask as a measurement of classic beauty to help plastic surgeons align facial features for more symmetrical accuracy based on a series of rectangles, triangles and decagons.

From Queen Nefertiti in 1350 BC to Angelina Jolie today, you can see for yourself that they both share similar facial proportions conforming to this mathematical beauty mask. I guess that beauty may be timeless after all … or maybe it explains the countless number of plastic surgery clones. You decide, but for now just use the Doc’s quick boxed sets for instantly enhanced natural beauty!

Alison Atia MD explains why the Doc’s Skin O2 Multi Vit is the ultimate wonder cream to help both protect & combat skin aging. Multi Vit contains the Daily essential vitamins to feed your face B,A,C,E plus age blasters CO Q10 enzyme, rose hip oil & green tea! Its full of the most essential skin goodies. No matter what skincare you’re using, everybody needs their daily dose of vitamins to get better skin results.

Why does our skin need Vitamin B?
Skin has its own immune system which becomes depleted as we age, so you should use Skin O2 Multi Vit a.m. and p.m. as it contains 10% Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) to help boost your skin’s immune responses and to target pigmentation. Leukocyte extract, Adenosine Triphosphate and Amino Acids provide a vital source of cellular energy, optimising intercellular communication and reinforcing barrier function so what this really means is that the Vitamin B helps to give your skin a brighter and more healthier looking radiant glow!

Why does our skin need vitamin A?
As long as you use 30+ sunscreen daily to protect your new skin regeneration, Vitamin A is essential to help restore a more youthful skin metabolism. Skin cells use Vitamin A to repair DNA damage – Skin O2 uses the most potent, stable and non-irritating form of over the counter Vitamin A to target skin DNA damage and nurture cellular regeneration processes! Hydrogenated Retinol is scientifically proven to be the best form of Vitamin A for skincare because of its stability and therefore clinical effectiveness. To find out more about the amazing difference and clinical studies comparing Hydrogenated Retinol to other forms of Vitamin A register for Dr Atia’s upcoming cosmedical skincare webinar.

So why do we need A, C & E?
Antioxidants have been a buzz word in skincare for a while now, but most products don’t use the right combination or correct stabilised form. Your skin’s own antioxidants include Vitamins A, C + E, so the Doc has combined the correct concentrations (1%, 20% and 0.1%) of these active ingredients into Multi Vit BACE skin repair serum plus green tea, rosehip and ubiquinone (CO Q10) to deliver additional antioxidant protection while their skin-identical Triglycerides naturally replenish the intercellular lipids responsible for skin hydration and radiance. But don’t think of Multi Vit just as a defensive product because it is so high in the key clinically proven antioxidants – wait until you see and feel the total rejuvenation boost in your skin’s natural collagen production, firmness and luminosity after just 4 weeks. That is why it is the No. 1 Doctor’s formulation for scar repair, but we are too vein here at Skin O2 HQ to just keep it for scar repair. Bring on total skin regeneration & as we say at Skin O2 HQ – feed your face your daily vitamin dose!

Thanks Doc! Nothing else in the cosmedical skincare market even comes close in value for money, total skin results and potent stability in one bottle! With that potent cocktail of non-irritating, encapsulated skin treats and sweet, delicious smell to die for, it should be priced over $150 but at RRP $59 you just gotta love that! xxx

Skin O2 Facial Cleansing Wipes – now come in travel size!

Perfect all in one eye and makeup remover that cleanses, treats and balances the skin!

Each wipe is enriched with Aloe Vera and Vitamin E to hydrate and nourish the skin whilst freshening and toning at the same time.

Gotta love that!

Open your eyes for the optimal effect! It is a fact that eyes are the No. 1 factor that age us.

So here are some quick and easy tips straight from the Docs bag of beauty tips to take you from ordinary to extraordinary without surgery!

To open, lift and instantly enhance the eye area:

Cleanse & prepare for the perfect stay-put finish by cleansing away excess oils in the eye area using Skin O2 wipes which are suitable for sensitive skin – they contain calming Aloe Vera and no alcohol – cleansing away the excess oils helps your great work stay put!

Apply primer to whole eye area. Skin O2 Radiance Primer has added Hyaluronic Acid so it helps further plump and diminish fine lines, even the skin tone and blend out the blue/red tone of the eye socket and create a more flawless canvas.

Apply mineral powder in your normal skin tone shade using kabuki brush or sponge to both above and below the eye – extra powder below can help wipe away any mess as we go!

Grab the Skin O2 Wow Brow box set and the Skin O2 eye shadow brush from the professional brush set.

Apply the light brown powder to the whole socket in an arching motion. Apply the darker shade of brown only to the outer corner of the eye – this will help to open and lift the eye area. Then re-apply the light brown using the Skin O2 blending shadow brush and blend, blend, blend in the fold of your eye-socket while looking forward!

Apply smooth long-lasting Skin O2 eyeliner to upper inner eye line. This will also give your lash line a fuller effect so really work it in, then apply to the the lower inner eye line. This will make your eyes appear more open and defined.

Apply the eyeliner on the top lid. Mark the lid half way and apply a thin line working inwards and a thicker line towards the outer side of the eye. This will help to lift and open the eye to look more youthful.

Now for the wow brows

Use the Skin O2, Professional brow grooming brush to brush up your brows for extra lift!

To determine how far in to bring your brows, Dr Atia says: look at your nose and determine if you want to make it wider or smaller.
Starting brows closer together helps narrow the nose, further apart widens the nose!

Once you have decided on your starting point, mark it with the light brow powder and work your way up in a straight, defined, diagonal line to your highest point from the bottom of your brow. Now do the same for the top line of the brow – this gives you strong definition so you can now just softly blend the colour between the two lines so it looks more natural and fuller. Now use the darker brown to firmly go over the bottom diagonal line in one strong precise motion – this gets you a real defined lift!

The end section of your brows after the highest point should just be only very lightly feathered in with the lighter shade. You don’t want to do much here as it can drag the eyes down and look more aging and unnatural.

Brush through and apply your wow brow wax for a longer lasting finish and some more extra lift!

Time for some more of Dr Atia’s magical cosmetic surgery tricks, so grab your Skin O2 highlighter pen and remember the trick is less is really best! A little really goes a long way.

Apply the tiniest drop on the back of your hand and apply with a concealer brush just under the brow bone to the outer, lower side of the eyes, lifting upwards and to the lower corner inner socket.

Skin O2 highlighter/concealer pen helps to lighten, brighten and help reflect fine lines and detract from dark or hollow shadows, so it is great to help hide dark circles and bring forward deep set or more sunken eyes.

But note if you have a raised pimple or raised imperfection you are trying to hide, you are better off to spritz or wet your concealer brush and apply the mineral powder in your exact shade. This will work by shadow blending and hiding your imperfection.

Now re-apply more mineral powder to the under area – putting more brushed on powder helps us have an extra powder barrier to brush away any make up mess that occurs as we apply.

Before applying Mascara, always curl your lashes, then apply Skin O2 instant fake lash paint on mascara. Look down and apply to the top side of the upper lashes in a curling rubbing motion – this is a really important step to help open your eyes and gain fuller looking lashes. Then look up and apply mascara from the roots out and up.

Whats great about this mascara is that it has peptides to help your lashes grow, so you can fake it till you make it.

To further treat, condition & remove mascara from your lashes, just use Skin O2 wipes with a few coats of Skin O2 love your lashes nightly treatment oil.

Now we have done the eyes, you can easily brush on the rest of your mineral make up with ease!
