for your XTOL Men's Club Products.
What does XTOL mean?
XTOL is a spin on the word EXTOL. In the dictionary Extol means:
to praise highly.
The parent company of XTOL, Root Source Inc.(R.S.I.), wants to do
exactly that. Five years ago, R.S.I. developed their highly successful
hair growth product line, The Restoration Series for those suffering
from hair loss. From this experience, the founders have developed
an incredible bond with the men on the program and realized that
‘retaining their youth’ is important to them all, regardless
of whether they are 18 or 80.
As a result, XTOL Men’s Club was born and continues to serve
men the highest quality products specifically designed for use by
men.
What is the XTOL Men's
Club?
XTOL Men’s Club is a complete skin and body care line designed
specifically for men and their unique needs. Whether you work in
an office or outside, your skin takes a beating. Compound environmental
conditions with a poor skin care regimen and you have skin that
is aged and wrinkled before its time.
XTOL Men’s Club was developed and researched by men, for use
by men, throughout the world. Our purpose is to extol the virtues
of men everywhere. Men the world over are looking for a simple (Practical)
and effective(Tactical) way to retain their youthful looks or to
reclaim them, depending on their age.
Headquartered in Vancouver, Canada the creators of XTOL (Root Source
Inc.) have committed to using only the purest water, organic and
natural derived ingredients and the latest in technological advancements
in skin care treatments and ingredients.
In so doing, XTOL offers a simple system for men’s skin care
solutions.
Why bother using XTOL
Skin Products?
As all men know, the last thing on their minds is to spend extra
time maintaining healthy and youthful skin. From their teens to
maturity, men traditionally ignore their skin. In fact, the sign
of wrinkles and graying hair has been considered a ‘status
symbol’ to most men, a sign that they have paid their dues
sort-of-speak. Even women have accepted the aging of men. Some women
think it is sexy but it is more likely that women really just liked
the fact they were able to appear younger than a male companions.
Today the world of men is different. Today’s world is a ‘YOUTH
CULTURE’. Men are not defined by wrinkles, gray hair and an
increase in their belt size. Today, success in the work force and
the ability to attract the sex of your choice are all predetermine
by how young, healthy and physically fit you appear to others. These
days of ripped abs, youthful complexion and other youthful attributes
will enhance, if not determine your business and personal success.
Today’s male, we believe, understands this new ‘healthy
and fit’ movement to be a real one. While all men can wrap
their brains around the concept of a ‘work-out’ to keep
their bodies in shape, most do not even think, let alone consider
how to retain the youthful appearance of their skin, particularly
their face.
This is where XTOL Men’s Club products come to the rescue.
Our Commitment to males.
Our mandate is simple. To make men look their very best with the
least amount of effort. In a few simple steps each day, men can
maximize their appearance to match their zest for life and the work
they do in gyms and by living an active lifestyle.
And if you don’t work out or lead an active life-style....then
we are committed to making it look like you do!
With XTOL Men’s Club products, we are not increasing the amount
of time and effort you need to look your best. We are only increasing
the quality of the products you use.
What makes it simple
to use.
Men not only want a younger appearance but also need it. The challenge
is they really do not want to have to work at it. The last thing
a male wants to do is spend endless hours in the bath room the same
way they have seen women do to retain their youthful appearance.
XTOL Men’s Club has developed an entire skin and body system
of products that will reduce the time spent on maintaining your
appearance while achieving the maximum result possible. Continued
use of XTOL will see the texture, tone and overall appearance of
your skin change regardless of your skin type.
XTOL Men’s Club products are divided into two categories;
Skin and Body.
What makes XTOL work?
You walk down the isles of any drug store, super market or even
at a professional skin center and you will see a multitude of products
scream Vitamin E, A and C. That was yesterday’s technology.
XTOL has worked tirelessly to create a line of products that uses
only the latest advancements in skin care. The common ingredients
used in our superior product line included such items as:
MALIC ACID (a pure form of glycolic acid. Gentle and effective in
exfoliation products)
HYALURONIC ACID (a superior hydrating agent derived from cucumbers)
POLYSYNLANE (the highest quality ‘carrier’. Refined
from high quality, cosmetic grade olive oil)
PLANT POLYPEPTIDES (stimulates collagen production and is a superior
ingredient to fight wrinkle and other signs of ageing. Also know
as Matrixyl.)
BOTANICAL EXTRACTS (derived from the cold pressed extraction of
the root, stems and leaves of specific plants known to aid in skin
rejuvenation.)
VITAMIN POSPHATES (the latest technology in Vitamin efficacy. The
strongest and purest form of vitamins allowing for the deepest penetration
into the skins tissue and creating the maximum results possible.)
The four elements of Skin Care.
OVERVIEW
What the NEW MALE needs to know that in skin care there are basically
only four necessary elements, or steps to a great skin care regimen.
The four elements are:
ELEMENT 1: CLEANSING
This is simply the act of cleaning the SURFACE LAYER of the face
or body. It removes environmental elements such as dust and pollutants
and other matter that coats the skin and can clog the pores if not
removed. But the key to healthy, youthful skin is ‘proper
cleansing’. If done properly, the skin will always be clean
but not over stripped. Often men think that after washing their
face the face should be dry and void of any sheen. This is wrong.
Every man cleans his face, but most men use a bar of soap, the same
one they wash their body with. Most often these products are purchased
in a drug store or super market environment and cost very little.
Again most men think ‘soap is soap’, and the decision
to purchase ‘soap’ is a matter of price. Nothing could
be more incorrect than that assumption.
The simple fact is soaps, whether in bar or liquid form, that are
purchased in a food or drug environment are ‘HARSH’.
The pH levels in these products are generally much higher than the
natural pH balance of the skin. So what does this mean?
When you use soap you ‘strip’ the face of all its beneficial
properties that keeps your skin healthy. Simply, with continued
use of these products your skin will dry out and as a result will
begin to form wrinkles, create skin flaking, increase the size of
the pores and other harmful effects. The result is dry, tired, acne
and/or aging skin.
So how to correct it. Spend a little more and get a superior product.
The adage of ‘you get what you pay for’ never was more
true. If there is one thing that will set your ‘first impression’
off to a good start is a healthy, vibrant, and youthful appearing
face.
Please refer to XTOL Men’s Club PRODUCT REVIEW for the answer
to proper cleansing.
ELEMENT 2: EXFOLIATING
A big complex word that has a simple meaning. While CLEANSING removes
the surface dirt from the top of the skin, EXFOLIATING removes the
old or dead skin from the first layers of the skin. The result is
to expose the new layer of skin underneath.
Skin is like snakeskin. It sheds layers of skin cells as they die
off. Unlike a snake however, these dead cells do not come off once
a year in one piece. Instead, everyday your skin sheds dead skin
cells, to expose the underlying ‘new layer’ of skin.
As this new layer is exposed the skin shows a more vibrant, healthy
sheen, which identifies true health.
When you exfoliate your skin, the products used are designed to
remove as much of the dead skin as possible with as little irritation
as possible. Of course you can go to a dermatologist and have your
face surgically exfoliated, which will remove the entire first layer
of your skin. This always leaves skin red and sore for a period
of time till the new layer heals. While some men with ‘rough’
or scarred’ skin may choose this option it is not recommended
or really necessary.
There are three different types of exfoliation product. One; Micro
exfoliation with uses enzymes and acids (common acids are Alpha
Hydroxy Acid and Beta Hydroxy Acids), Two; Physical exfoliation
with uses small grains, seeds or beads to remove the dead skin and
Three; Gum exfoliation which uses a sticky, gum like approach to
pull dead skin from the surface.
XTOL Men’s Club EXFOLIATING products are designed to quickly
and effectively remove the dead skin from its upper-most layer.
Relax! No one will know you’ve exfoliated your face. Although,
YOU will notice a marked difference in the appearance of your skin
as you continue to use the product.
ELEMENT 3: PROTECTION
Did you know, that “all aging starting with childhood up to
the age of sixty is from exposure to UVA and UVB rays” (leading
aesthetician Richard Johansen). This is commonly referred to as
‘photo aging’. The Sun and exposure to environmental
elements makes you look old. The more exposure, the greater the
damage. Protecting the skin is critical to keeping the skin young
and healthy and will keep it that way as you age. Tanning may look
cool, but in twenty years your skin will show all the signs of this
over exposure to the sun. Deep creases on the skin are not an appealing
sight.
THE FACTS
According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, one million new cases of
skin cancer occur each year.
Skin cancer (melanoma) accounts for more than 10,000 deaths.
UV rays are linked directly to premature again causing wrinkles,
roughness and loss of elasticity.
Not all sunscreens are created equal. You get what you pay for.
Serious sun burning (even just one) in childhood can lead to serious
permanent effects. Most children have many burns in their development.
Some exposure to the sun is good; the sun can ward off depression
and enable us to process vitamin D
You are being exposed to harmful UV rays even when there are clouds
and the day is hazy.
TWO TYPES OF UV PROTECTION
ORGANIC protection is the combination of natural, organic ingredients
to protect the skin. All ingredients are found in nature. Their
properties often allow for deeper penetration into the skin tissues
offering critical protection.
CHEMICAL protective ingredients are also known as Inorganic. Inorganic
is mined and form a physical barrier on the skin. This barrier sits
on the top of the skin tissue and can often lead to poor skin conditions
after prolonged use.
XTOL PROTECTIVE SOLUTIONS
There is no question that global warming is seeing many changes
in our environment. Simply put, the sun’s UV rays are more
intense than ever and getting increasing worse every year. While
there are many sunscreens on the market, again, what you pay for
is equivalent to what you get. Not all sunscreens are alike.
XTOL offers only the latest technology in its sunscreen products.
It is recommended that a SPF factor of 30 to 45 works to eliminate
the damaging effects of the sun. We cannot encourage men enough
to select a XTOL Protection Product that best suits your life style.
XTOL works to ensure that your skin will retain its natural elastin
properties while providing a totally natural appearance to your
skins texture and appearance.
ELEMENT 4: MOISTURIZING
This is the one element of good skin care practices that most, if
not all men, over look from their youth till their senior years.
If only men realized that a simple, 30 second application of a quality
moisturizer in the morning or evening would greatly improve the
condition of their skin and thus their appearance.
Even young men should replenish the moisture properties of their
skin after they wash. Doing so will ward off the signs of aging
for many years. Maturing men also need to recognize the import of
replacing the critical moisture properties to their skin. The times
have changed. No longer is dry, tired skin on men a ‘macho’
thing to have. Looking after their skin and body is key to social
acceptance and personal confidence. Moisturizing helps you obtain
both.
XTOL offers a series of moisturizing products specifically designed
for your skins’ needs and type. Daily use of these products
will work to prevent the formation of wrinkles /creases and will
work rapidly to reduce the signs of ageing. Let 30 seconds take
away 30 years of ageing.
What you do with your life makes a huge difference.
You may not know this but there are life-style factors that can
make a massive difference between having great skin and poor skin.
Here are a few for you to consider.
CLIMATE: If you live in a warm climate seasonally or annually cleansing
is required more often. This helps to remove excess oils and perspiration.
Colder climes require more gentle cleansing practices. Moisturizing
and Protection are required in both situations.
DIET: What you eat and drink are essential to your skin condition.
You can never have enough water although it is determined that 8
glasses of water a day is likely the right amount. Avoid unhealthy
food choices as this will not only affect your skin but body as
well.
STRESS: Think positive and stay happy. Sounds simple but such a
mindset will assist in good skin. Stress can play havoc to your
skin, from breakouts to rashes and more. Get lots of rest, use relaxation
methods or sport activity to burn that stress out of you body..
IMPROPER SKIN CARE: Use of harsh products will do damage to the
skin over a long period of time. Usually this effect is drying and
flaking.
