ICT Paul Penders

The Well Kept Secret to Beautiful Skin...
Intensive Care Therapy (ICT)

We are excited with C02 based on new scientific evidence and the increased medical use of CO2 lately. At Paul Penders, we believe in providing you with the knowledge of how our products work so that you can use them confidently.

The mixture of certified organic herbs and CO2 has been a well-kept secret behind the success of ICT. The beautiful effervescence resulting from the mixture of two product components from ICT produces very tiny bubbles of CO2 and a small amount of oxygen, which complement each other to keep your complexion always aglow and looking fresh.

How CO2 Is Used In Skincare

Dermatologists in USA bring CO2 just below the surface of the skin; it diffuses into the surrounding tissues and literally "melts away" fat cells and unwanted stretch marks. CO2 causes the blood vessels to dilate and increase the oxygen and nutrient supply to the skin. This helps to eliminate fluid build-up between cells, and the skin is stimulated to produce more collagen. Fewer fat cells result in a firm and younger looking skin.

Research conducted at the University of Siena in Italy showed that CO2 was effective in helping women lose fats in their thigh and stomach. At the same time their skin became firmer and cellulite smoother.

Medical CO2 treatments are also used to treat layers of damaged skin with excellent results. The laser treatment helps to remove fine wrinkles and giving the skin a smoother complexion, besides minimizing facial scars and heavily pigmented areas. The treatments are effective in softening lines around the eyes and mouth.

We at Paul Penders appreciate CO2 as a Big Life Giver and essential part of our eco system. CO2 has been received adverse publicity about greenhouse effects and global warming but new research however shows how C02 contributes to sustain life on earth.

Get Beautiful Skin in 3 Easy Steps

Step 1: Getting ready

To begin your Intensive Clarifying Therapy (ICT) treatment, relax both mind and body. Cleanse your skin with a gentle cleanser and skin toner (we recommend using Paul Penders range of face care solutions). Do not use harsh soaps as chemicals may interfere with the natural organic ICT ingredients.

Prepare the ICT mixture according to the directions:

Place 2 scoops of ICT I (Herbal Powder) into mixing bowl. Ensure container lid is firmly sealed immediately after use. Add exactly ¾ scoop of ICT II (Fortified Liquid) into mixing bowl. With spatula, gently stir both ingredients to an even consistency.

For a thicker consistency, add only a small amount of Fortified Liquid. If a thinner mixture is preferred, add extra Fortified Liquid.

After each treatment, clean and dry ICT tools. ICT contents are for 8 to 12 face and neck treatments or 3 to 4 full-body treatments.

Step 2: Doing the Paul Penders 6.6 Facial Workout

The Paul Penders 6.6 Facial Workout is an easy, yet effective, facial massage which will complement and actually boost the benefits of your ICT treatment. Developed by Paul Penders and based on a fusion of several ancient Eastern acupressure techniques, this 60-second exercise is designed to make the skin more receptive to ICT, ensuring optimal results. This simple routine should be done before each application. It is based on an ancient Asian acupressure technique that focuses on activating 6 key pressure points on the face and neck.

A. To begin, point at the center of the forehead slightly above the eyebrows. Apply firm pressure for 6 seconds.

B. Continue at the center of each cheek for 6 seconds.

C. Do the same for your chin; press firmly for 6 seconds.

D. Lastly, press for 6 seconds on both sides of your lower neck, below the jaw.

E. Complete by rubbing your palms together for 20 seconds until your hands feel warm. Cover your face with the palms of your hands until this warm energy is released.

Step 3: Applying ICT

If you are using ICT treatment for the first time or have particularly dry or sensitive skin we recommend you apply a few drops of Paul Penders Hydrating Control Serum before applying ICT. Alternatively, smooth on your regular moisturizer to maintain your skin's moisture level.

Using the spatula provided, or a soft brush, smooth the ICT mixture evenly over face and neck, taking care to avoid the eye area. Should the product come into contact with an eye, rinse well with water.

Apply and leave ICT mixture on your face for 10 to 30 minutes. This allows ingredients to interact for easy absorption. Your skin will feel warm as the mixture works on penetrating and clarifying the skin.

At the end of the session, rinse your face and neck with water, using a gentle cloth until all traces of ICT treatment are removed. Finish off with Paul Penders Hydrating Control Serum or Paul Penders moisturizers.
