Seacret™ Mineral Rich Peeling Gel

Okay, so I should be introducing Seacret™ as a whole today, but what I really want to do is talk about the peeling gel. If you purchase one beauty product this year, it should be this one! Actually, it takes great personal fortitude on my part not to use this product every single day (Seacret™ recommends up to twice a week). My skin looks so fresh and "dewy" after I've used it that I don't need cover-up. I look young and vibrant! Before I started using the peel on a regular basis, my skin looked almost calloused, for lack of a better term. My forehead was crapey, my pores were visible and the tone was almost yellowish. With one peeling treatment, my skin  was healthy and moist: the callous layer was gone. I've also noticed that this product seems to even out the sun damage that my forehead and cheeks have developed over the years. Bit-by-bit, those brown "age" spots have just sluffed away.


Apart from using it myself myself, I love watching people try the peel for the first time. Whether it's just a matter of me putting a little dab on the inside of a friend's arm or watching a makeover participant use it all over his or her face, the reaction is always the same: "WOW...OMG....IS THAT...WHAT I THINK IT IS?" Yes, those are dead skin cells balling up and sluffing away. Compare the inside of the "unpeeled" arm to the inside of the "peeled" arm and the results are obvious: one is dull and unremarkable and the other is shiney and fresh...yes, even "dewy". Newly peeled cheeks are pink and moist, highlighting the smile on my participant's face as he or she looks in the mirror.
So here's the low-down: Seacret™ Mineral-Rich Peeling Gel is paraben-free, not tested on animals, is allergy-tested and, in addition to Dead Sea minerals, contains: 
Ginseng: shown to detoxify the skin and aid in colligen production;
Cucumber Extract: has, among other things,  anti-inflammatory properties. It soothes, cools and hydrates;
Aloe Vera: also anti-inflammatory and may even speed the healing process. It tightens the skin and balances PH through it's astrigent properties. It also moisturizes and increases the availability of oxygen to the skin. Aloe Vera can minimize scarring and may even reverse already existing scars;
Chamomile: used as a tonic for sensitive or irritated skin and for increasing blood flow at the skin's surface;
Papaya Extract: the exfoliator! It improves tone and texture and dramatically increases blood circulation for that healthy glow.
My 50ml/1.7fl oz jar has lasted me 4 months with my using it on a twice/week basis. I'm just about to run out. The MSRP on the product is $81.89CAD, which is honestly a bargain considering what it can do. I've paid much more for products without the results this peeling gel offers. If it's love, become a Preferred Customer (PC). PC's pay discounted prices and earn credit toward free product with no up-front obligation.

I've tested it and I love it!

The Seacret™ Opportunity


So, a few months ago, a dear friend came to me with a business opportunity. Jennifer has made millions - literally - on relationship marketing and she has tried repeatedly to get me to join her in her endeavours. In the past, I have resisted. I'm not a "door-to-door" salesperson. This particular opportunity brought Jennifer out of retirement. She saw huge potential in the business plan coupled with a spectacular product. She did her research, met the owner, considered the future of the cosmetics/skin care industry and said, "this is it!" For my part, I am an unemployed SAHM who is having a terrible time finding a traditional job. I am also a consumer of skincare products, as most of us are, and I can see that this industry shows no signs of declining over the foreseeable future. The investment was also relatively small: at the very least, I have a box of amazing product for over half off the MSRP. The obligation was next to nothing and, hey, I was helping a friend build her own business. For the very first time in my 20 years of knowing Jennifer, I signed on!

What is it?


The product is a luxury line - yes it's pricey, but you get what you pay for - of skincare products produced along the shores of the Dead Sea. You may recognise the name: Seacret™. They have had kiosks in high-end malls in the United States for years. In fact, many people I have spoken to about the line have experienced the high-pressure tactics of Seacret's mall salespeople. That's not me...I'm not the high-pressure type, neither as a consumer nor a salesperson. Strike one against Seacret, as far as I was concerned. But...wait: this is direct sales and I get to be the kind of salesperson I want to be. But what about the product itself?

In typical Heather style, I was sceptical of their claims. So, I purchased my start-up kit and I started becoming a "product of the product." I'm here to say, I LOVE THE PRODUCTS! If I never sell a jar to another person or sign up another Agent, I will continue to use my Seacret Regimen! Of course, I have my favourites - and products I might not use again - and I'll itemise those bit-by-bit. From day one, I noticed a difference in the lines around my eyes and on my forehead. My skin looks fresh and young. And the friends I invited to to try the product: I have amazing before and after photographs to show what a 15-minute makeover can do. I have to say, I've never been a "skin regimen" kind of person, but I have no problem taking my mini "makeover" time twice a day. My regimen has become second-nature.

And guess what: there's bang for your buck. A few years ago, I spent a small fortune on another product line that I loved; unfortunately, my very sensitive skin reacted to it. The pricing was comparable to Seacret but I ran out of cream in no time. I was very disappointed to see that the jars were double-lined and where I thought I was getting a jar full of product, I was actually getting half the amount the jar appeared to hold. The majority of Seacret's packaging is glass: what you see is what you get. So far, my products last approximately 3 months/per packaging, based on twice-a-day use.

I mentioned my sensitive skin! As a person who reacted even to almost all of the high-end sensitive skin lines, this is a huge BONUS: I don't react to my Seacret regimen. My previous skincare line was a hypoallergenic, luxury line meant specifically for very sensitive skin. It was a very lovely and mild product, but it didn't give me the results that I get from Seacret.

What is the business like?


I'll get in to more detail on the business side of things later, but suffice it to say that it has great promise for residual income. As far as what I have to do, there are a few things that I like about Seacret's approach in comparison to some other direct sales opportunities. My favourite parts:
  • I don't have to do huge parties! I can take a few of Seacret's WOW products in my purse and demonstrate them on the fly;
  • I don't have to keep a pile of stock on hand! Everything is drop-shipped from Seacret Direct to my customer. Returns go through head office;
  • After their initial set-up, my Preferred Customers get to manage their own orders. They can shop. cancel and manipulate their replenishment through their own web portal;
  • My Preferred Customers can sign up new Preferred Customers through their own web portal and they get product credit for doing so. Who doesn't chat up a product that they love? With this plan, you not only get to chat it up, you get to help someone try it and receive credit for doing so;
  • It doesn't take much to start reaping the benefits of the business program. Two Active Agents with the necessary volume and you're off to the races!

Heather, why are you blogging about this?


Well, I don't like saturating my Facebook and Twitter pages with my business ventures. However, I do want to expose those who are interested to this fabulous line. Over the next few weeks, I'll show you a few of my favourite products and post a few Before and After togs. In true "no pressure" style, I'll let you decide what you think. Of course, if you live close by, I would be more than happy to demonstrate the product for you. If you're not close by, I can always send a one-time sample regimen for you to try. If you like what you see, let's sign you up as a Preferred Customer (or maybe even an Agent!) and get you on the road to beautiful skin!
