Amy first learned of the "snail stuff" she puts on her face from her go-to face girl, Keri (@thenashvillebeautygirl) and ever since she's been obsessed. There are so many benefits and since Amy's not an expert....she brought one on Valerie Johnston who is a consultant to Biopelle for product, scientific and training resources. Valerie is highly knowledgeable and experienced and gives us all the details! Amy is simply a fan of this stuff, as are some of you, so she wanted an expert to break things down!

Speaker 3 (00:32):
With Amy Brown, Happy Thursday. Four Things Amy here. And
if you follow me on Instagram or occasionally I've mentioned
it on the podcast, you know I'm obsessed with snail stuff,
as I call it. But it's actually from a company.
It's called Biopel. I found them through Carrie, who's at
the Nashville Beauty Girl. She's come on the podcast multiple times.
She's amazing with skincare. And she text me, Amy, you
(00:55):
have to try this ten Sage forty, order it now.
And I didn't order it right away, and then she
hit me up again, did you get the tin Sage forty?
And it was an Amazon link, so I was like, well, okay, fine,
I'll just boom boom boom order it. And I used
it and I did like a ten day treatment situation
because it comes with ten ampules and my skin was glowing.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
I loved it.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Then I started posting about it, and then suddenly my
Instagram was a snail account for a while, and then
I got to know Biopel through posting it, and I
still have questions about it though, and I'm very curious
as to where the snail is coming from, what is happening,
what is the process, how did someone to even discover this?
And really we're going to hit on four things from
(01:40):
biopel that are really amazing. And I'm excited to bring
in Valerie Johnson because she is here to represent Biopel
and Valorie, you can introduce yourself to everybody, say what
you do, and then we can get into talking about
snail stuff and why I love it so much.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Wait.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Thanks Amy for having me on. I'm Valerie Johnson. I
formerly work for biopal and now I consult exclusively with
them and their training and education departments. So I really
focused in on the key things about the products that
set Biopel apart from other skincare brands out there.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Let's just start with the snail questions because everyone's intrigued
by it. So I think the snail it just has
a lot of popularity, Like if you say, oh, I'm
putting snail stuff on my skin, and I don't know
if it's because a few years ago a lot of
celebrities were doing it. And when I first heard about it,
I was picturing them laying there and then snail's being
put on their face, sort of like the fish pedicure.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Things, right, right, And they do have that.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
They do have that, the thing where the snails or
the snails cirl on their Yes, oh okay, well that's okay.
I've never done that, but that's what I was picturing.
But you know, I can't even remember specifically which celebrities,
but of course it just it's a clickbait, like you
want to know, Oh, this person's doing this for their skin.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Oh and it's snail.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
I'm curious about this, And so I was intrigued a
long time ago, and then have tried different snail products
or products that have snail serum in them, right, But
really the biopal Tensage forty was the game changer for
me that really gave me this glow and my skin
was really smooth. I just became instantly obsessed and people
(03:23):
were asking you, what is going on with your skin?
And I just can't help but say, it's snail secretion,
it's the snail stuff. And so tell us about the
snails and what is happening and where it comes from sure,
well you mentioned game changer, and that's pretty much anyone
that uses the forties. And that's how most people get
introduced to the snail stuff, is with the forties, the
(03:44):
tensage forties. Yeah, the tensage forties, and they really love
them because they do see an instant improvement, a dramatic improvement,
and people comment just like happened with you. What's so
unique about it is the story behind the snail and
the snail secretion.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
So it back many years ago.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
There was a radiation oncologist that was very interested in this.
It's a particular species of snail, so for you know,
all the technical gurus out there, this particular species is
called cryptom Follosis versa and they are particular to a
very specific region in Spain and that's where they live
at the snail farm in Sanandier, Spain. But the original
(04:25):
research on it was for radiation patients, so it's radiation dermatitis.
So if anyone out there has ever had radiation treatment done,
this skin gets very very aggravated, so it's very similar
to a sunburn. And so first clinical kind of data
on this was done during the Chernobyl incident. So This
(04:48):
is way back in the eighties, so this has been
around a long time. And what really makes it unique
is that the secretion is not the same secretion that
snails use for motility, okay, to move around. It's from
completely different glands and it's an evolutionary change where these
snails were aquatic creatures that then moved to land and
(05:10):
so they had to deal with the ionizing rays of
the sun and they developed this evolutionarily change in which
there is a secretion from three different glands that have
nothing to do with movement, and it was all about
to heal their skin, so the skin that's outside of
the protective shell and when it would be damaged, whether
(05:31):
through injury or through sun exposure extreme sun exposure, this
secretion was healing their skin within forty eight hours. So
that's why this radiation oncologist was so interested in this
because of this incredible healing properties that it had. And
then fast forward to today, it's really been perfected in
that how they obtained the subcretion is extremely important because
(05:55):
kind of like our bodies with stress, like a little
bit of stress is good, right for like athletes, they
can perform really well, but when you have a high
amount of stress, then that's really not good for the body.
So it's the same with these snails, is that a
little bit of stress causes them to release the secretion.
If they have too much stress, then the secretion becomes contaminated.
(06:17):
So it's an incredibly like rigorous process that they go
through to make sure that each batch they receive has
the most viable ability to heal skin.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Well, those snails are harmed in the process, it's a
huge shay, yes, because if they are harmed, First of all,
that really defeats the purpose of having the product and
a renewable resource.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
But secondly, it's like I was saying about the stress,
if they were harmed in the process, there would be
no viable secretion.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
It would become contaminated.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
So that's why the videos I've seen of them in Spain.
In there it looks sort of like a greenhouse. Yeah,
it's called the snail, but we call it the snail spat.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Yeah, that's gonna say. It looks like a spot.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
It's very relaxing and they're hanging out and nibbling on
carrots and lettuce.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Oh, it's all organic produce. I mean, they really.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Are in it.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Because living their best life. They are living their best life.
You know, it's amazing, very very well cared for.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Okay, so when they are have the right amount of stress,
not too much, not too much, and they secreted and
then mass gathered.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Right, that's collected, it's purified, every batch is tested, it's
stored so that it contains the most viability because inside
of this secretion, So like great, but what's in the secretion, right,
what's doing the work. And so what they identified was
a fiberblast growth factor, and I think people are kind
of familiar with growth factors and the benefits that they
(07:50):
have on skin. But there's also antioxidants in the secretion,
and there are other ingredients that we kind of lump
into a category called glycoproteins write big word, but things
like how uronic acid that's a glycoprotein and how uronic
acid is in it as well, And so it has
this ability to do amazing regeneration of skin cells. And
(08:13):
that's what's so important for the anti aging component of it.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
So originally looked.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
At therapeutically, but if you look at a wound or
a sunburn, things like that, when you look at aging skin,
it's very very similar. It's just a long term damage
that happens. And so the things that can heal for
things like radiation, dermatology or dermatitis also help with aging skin,
(08:41):
and so that's sort of how they jumped the correlation
to it for anti aging.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Well, what I mostly use is the tin Sage forty right,
and I use the Radiance I cream yep, which is
the tinted one with a little bit of shimmer, and
on the website it says daytime, but I use it
at day and night because I love the tint and
the shimmer and I also don't want to own two
night creams or I creams, right, so that's not right simple,
keep it simple. And so those are the two that
(09:08):
I love. But there is the Tensage fifty, which I've
dabbled with a little bit. I don't know the difference
between the fifty and the forty, So I want to
get to that in case anybody else has ordered it,
and will dive into more of what the ten day
treatment is like, because just walking people through maybe they
do end up wanting to try it. Lay out four
(09:29):
things that stand out to you about biopel, and then
we can get into all the the goodies, lay out
four things that stand out to you about Biopel, and
(09:52):
then we can get into all the goodies.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
The nuance of the products, well, I think first and foremost,
Biopel really stands by their clinical results, so clinically proven
ingredients and products. And then secondarily would be the focus
is on anti aging and anywhere from your fine lines
and wrinkles to uneven skin pigmentation as well as like
(10:17):
skin laxity or that sagging skin. So that's really the
focus that Biopel puts on.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Yeah too, just real quick, I feel like I need
to clarify because it sounds like this is not in
any way a long commercial or like I am genuinely
a fan of Biopel and invited you to come and
educate me and others because I know so many of
my listeners and followers on Instagram have been trying to
use it. I have friends that have been trying it,
(10:44):
using it and they're loving it, and so I just
wanted to insert that in real quick, that this is
strictly educational and just supposed to be informative, and I'm
learning stuff to myself because you know, you become a
fan of something and I just see that it's working,
but then I don't know all the exact details of
what the heck is happening. So okay, first thing clinically proven,
(11:04):
second thing, all the anti aging benefits, and then I'll
add into that the glow. There's just this glow no
matter what age your skin is. And what's the third thing?
Third thing would be unique technologies. So Biopel has several
unique technologies, and of course you know this one being
the snail stuff, right, but we have other technologies that
(11:25):
are very unique and target different categories of skin aging
and different age groups too. And that's really important because
a lot of times just because you put an ingredient
in a product doesn't mean that it might be very
efficacious or work very well. Technologies behind it can really
make an impact on your end result, and that's what's
(11:47):
important to us, is really good end results. And then
lastly is multitasking products.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
And what I mean by that is, look, we all
live really busy lifestyles. Nobody has time anymore to do
ten steps in the more warning and eight more steps
at night. The idea is put as many key ingredients
that will work well together in a product so that
you use less products. It's all about less steps, saving
(12:15):
time beginning the maximum benefit that you can.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Well, since my products, like I mentioned are the Tin
Sage forty and the Radiance I Cream, I want you
to touch on the benefits of those. The snail stuff
is in there. But there's the ten day pack, which
let me share with you how I've done it. When
I first got it, I did what it said on
the back, and I followed YouTube one every day for
(12:38):
seven days, and then I did for three weeks one week,
So that's how you get the ten So I called
it the ten day treatment plan, but really it's longer
than ten, right, So what are the benefits of doing that?
Maybe quarterly because some people they're just not going to
They have to pick and choose when they're going to
get certain getting things donecause at the end of the day,
(12:59):
that's it's an investment in their skin.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
I treated it.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
When I ordered it, I was like, well, this is
in place of if I were to go have gotten
a facial or gotten something done or whatever, treated myself
to something. This is more of an at home a
little spot.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
A spot treatment. Yeah, we call it the intensive boosted treatment, right.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
And so I did the first quarter what what I
was going to do, and since I loved it so much,
is then a quarter later I did it again, and
then a quarter later I did it again, and I'm
about to do my fourth quarter work of it for
the year. And then I have some extra ones that
if I have an event, then I'll put it on
under my makeup before whatever I have to do that night,
(13:37):
right during the day for that extra glow, and I
put out my face, my neck, and my chest.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
In one ampuol. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
So let's start with the ten Sage forty the ten
day as I call it, which is totally wrong.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Right, but call the ten Okay, keep it simple.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
All the ten sage products have the nail secretion in them,
and like you call it the forties, right, and that's
what we call it too, right, that's our little, you know,
kind of internal lingo for it. And the number has
to do with the intensity of that snail secretion. So
that's why like the forties and the fifties, they're intensive
boost to treatments because they have a very high concentration
(14:14):
of it. It's also why they're in little small ampules
because the higher the concentration than the higher probability of
it breaking down quickly.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Which I will say.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
I have how to video on my Instagram in reels
showing how to break open the ampule, because it's another
thing that I was stressing out about YouTube on midnight,
because we're at midnight on YouTube, like how.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Do I do this? Yes, because I didn't want to
break it wrong. I didn't want to do it wrong.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
And it is hard to figure out in the beginning,
just because it's you've never done it before. I probably
shouldn't even use the word hard. It's just it's interesting
and it's not intuitive.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
It's not intuitive.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Yeah, it's not intuitive, it's unfamiliar. And then but once
you figure it out.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
It's so easy. It's so easy.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
So they're designed in a very small, single use ampule,
so it keeps the secretion very pure, very viable and active.
So it's a little plastic tube that has a cotton
tip applicator, but inside of that plastic tube is a
glass file that's closed off and that's what keeps the solution,
you know, air tight, completely viable. So when you press
(15:25):
the plastic outer tubing, it's like a crush file, so
you're crushing that inner glass file but the plastic and
the cotton tiped applicator prevent any glass from breaking. You know,
it's not going to break through the plastic or get
through the cotton tip applicator.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
It's very satisfying, it is. It's like crunch. Yeah, I
love the sound.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
So the forties are besides being an intensive boost to treatment,
they're like a forty percent for sake of conversation concentration
of We call it SCA, which is that secretion of
the snail the crypton falsis versa, so we call it SDA.
So it's a very eye concentration, which is why we
don't recommend it for daily use. It's very you know,
expensive to produce, so that's why you have the cost factor.
(16:08):
And we do recommend doing an intensive boost to treatment
once a quarter every three months. And it is really
designed to kind of be in lieu of that going
in and getting some procedure, Like it's a way to
do something at home that really just gives your skin
an incredible sort of instant glow but also provides you
(16:28):
with the maximum benefit.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
And well, I will.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Say because Carrie the National Beauty Girl, she was starting
to use it. If she was doing I don't know
if it's micro needling or different things. Because of the
healing properties yep. And so that's how you can double
up on something. But I for the sake of this,
we're talking about just you know, doing it quarterly or
whenever you can, or if you want to try it
(16:52):
or you know, ask for it for Christmas or something
like that could be something fun to get and look
forward to over Christmas break. But you know, she I
know was using it to help post procedure to heal
right faster.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
That's our main use for it is post procedure, okay.
And the reason is, and this kind of gets into
the what's the difference between the forties and the fifties
And the biggest difference with the forties and the fifties,
and we'll just talk about stay on the forties for
a second, is the forties have that high percentage of
sea but they also have it also has vitamin C
(17:28):
and E, and then it has two moisturizers that give
immediate and long lasting hydration.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
So it's very simple. It's a very very simple product.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
And that's why we recommend it post procedure because it's
really going to help speed up the healing process, so
it can really help improve outcomes, reduce the kind of
the negative side effects you get with certain procedures like
the redness, the irritation, the itching, stinging, things like that,
so it can help with that. But it's a great
boosted treatment, and so are our fifties.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Now.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
The fifties are different similar packaging, but instead of being
a crush file, it's a what we call an airless tube,
so it's a very small tube that once you open it,
you can't close it back. However, air can't get in
back into the tube, and that's what oxidizes products and
causes them to age prematurely. Right, and so the fifties
(18:25):
they have a higher concentration of the growth factor, but
there's also peptides in there, so the peptides help address
fine lines and wrinkles. And then there are also two
moisturizers that we call dual action, so you get surfaced
and you get deep hydration with it. But then there's
also this triple brightening complex, and so the brightening complex
(18:46):
helps with that uneven pigmentation or those brown spots that
we get as we age. So it's also your boost
to treatment. But because of all the additional ingredients in
it that are really addressing that more moderate to severe
aging versus the forties forties are more like your mild
to moderate aging. We don't recommend it post procedure. More
(19:08):
things you have in a product and your skin's been
compromised after a procedure, more chances that you have a
reaction to it. And so it's really designed as a
quarterly boosted treatment only. So the easy way that I
call it to categorize, like, well, when do you do
the forties versus the fifties?
Speaker 1 (19:23):
How do I know?
Speaker 2 (19:24):
I say, think forties and under use your forties, fifties
and over use your fifties because it really kind of
is a good age bracket of the difference in the
skin aging during those time periods, and you get quote
unquote sort of more bang for your buck with the
fifties as an intensive boosted treatment, but it's not necessary
(19:48):
because you'll get great results with the forties as well.
It just depends on what you are really focused on. Well,
also improving with.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
The fifties, which I love all the information you just
gave me because I had no idea.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
I just said, had tried it before.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
But the teeny tiny air tight tube, while the ampules
for the forty is a one we'll call it one
serving like you kind of it's day one and done.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
The air tight tube.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
For the fifties, I got use out of it for
three days.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Yeah, you'll easily get two to three days worth of
usage out of it. Depends on like you talk about,
which is extremely smart to use it on.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Your face, neck, and chest.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
A lot of people forget about their neck and chest,
and even if it's just the v of your chest,
but you'll kind of see as and especially for women
and after we go through menopause, like you'll see someone
who's taken really good care of their skin, but only
their face, and then you'll see their neck and it's
sort of like their neck tells their real age and
the face does it. So it's extremely important to treat
(20:48):
your neck and at least the via your chest because
that's still exposed so much to all the sun and
environmental pollutions. And you're right, the fifties you get two
to two to three days easily of use out of them.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
So if you were to do a quarterly treatment of
that to say, and it's a box of ten as well,
so that you get that last you would last about
a month. Yeah, so your quarterly treatment could be a
month month. Yeah, well that's yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
What are your thoughts on doing it at night versus morning?
Speaker 1 (21:30):
What are your.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Thoughts on doing it at night versus morning? My personal experience,
when I first started, I was doing it at night,
and then I was loving the globe so much and
I thought, well, this is being wasted while I sleep.
So then I started doing it in the morning, right, And.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
It's perfectly fine to do am or pm. It doesn't matter.
I say, do it when you will remember to do it.
That's the most important time. But yeah, you do really
get the benefit of the glow that your skin shows
just sort of immediately after using it, and so it's
nice to have that glow throughout the day.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
What about the radiance I cream or just I cream
in general? Because I know that part of our skin
is so thin, and I feel like I was taught really.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
On use your ring finger.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Here's your ring finger, your pink your weakest finger, your
weakest finger. You have that so that you don't mess
with the skin around there. And where should we be
applying it.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
On our eyes?
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Because I see different things you know on TikTok, like
where you're actually supposed to start and why is I
cream so important? And I know this is a podcast,
so people aren't necessarily getting the visual, but I think
you could describe like how far out or where to.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Go up or your horbital bone. Yeah, so there's two things.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
One the skin on our eyelids, so the upper and
the lower. There is a lower eyelid as well. It's
the thinnest skin on the body. So there's two things
to be concerned about. That means one, like what product
you're using is going to penetrate very quickly because the
skin so thin there. So that's why they make products
specific to the eye area because you have to be
(23:00):
very careful with like the concentration of ingredients that you
use because the skin is so thin. And then secondarily
is especially from the blinking movement, but also because the
skin so thin, you get what we call a wicking action,
and so products will migrate further than where you applied them.
And so that's why it is important like where do
(23:20):
I apply it? If you stick with that orbital bone,
so wherever you feel with you know, the eye socket
wherever you feel the bone, that is where you apply
your eye product.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
You're showing me right now, up on the bone by
your eyebrow.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Oh yeah, putting it there. You can put it there
as well. I've never done that. Okay, put it there as.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Well, because think about like we get the hooding on
the top of our eyelids as we age, and that's
a difficult area to treat.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
It's very sensitive. But the product is going to wick.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
And that's where you get most of like this movement
with the blinking and the skin fold the eye. You know,
the skin fold is going to like transfer some of
that product. So if you keep it to the brow area,
the brow bone, and then you go down below. But
our bigger area of concern below is that puffiness, dark circles,
and then of course you know on the sides are
those crows feet. So if you just stick with the
(24:12):
orbital rim, then you'll be safe knowing that you'll get
good efficacy and you won't have run the risk of
the product like migrating into the eye area.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
But it will migrate.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
So you'll get benefit of the skin closer to the
lash line by applying it even that far away.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Wow, Okay, new tip. Now I know tonight I'm going
to be you're gonna get the top part of you
can do the orbital bone. Yeah, yeah, you can feel
around and just everybody's eyes a little bit different. But
the Radiance I cream, the tint of the shimmer, the
snail stuff isn't that too.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
The snail stuff isn't anything that's that's labeled tensage.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
They all have the snail stuff different secretions.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
So in the in the Radiance I Cream there's a
ten percent concentration of it, so again right thin area,
so you don't need as much. And there are also
peptides in the I cream as well, and there's a
peptide that helps address those fine lines and wrinkles or
the crows feet, and then there's also a peptide that
addresses the microcirculations that's going to help with your puffiness
(25:19):
and your dark under eye circles. Then you've got the
what we call soft focused microspheres and that's where you
see that shimmer, that light reflecting shimmer.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
And then the tent.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
The tent is very nice too because it helps to
camouflage any imperfections around the eye area and.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
It's kind of a power pack too.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
It's got moisturizers, you know, hyuronic acid, it's got antioxidants.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
So it's people love that I cream and so glad
I found it.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Yeah, I mean even if it didn't have this snail stuff,
I just love the tint and the shimmer. But everything
you're saying about what it's doing. And I've used a
lot of different I creams and some have caused like
little red sensitive skin. I've gotten little red bumps from
others that I have tried.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
There. You know, there's some from the drug store.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
That I still use as well, Like I love Birt's
Bees has one that I'm just like, Okay, I can
grab it and like make sure that I've got it
and travel and whatnot.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Like I have some other favorites.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
But then there's some MI creams where I've invested some
money and then they've given me the little red bumps.
And so I was so excited when I tried the
Radiance one, and I was like, yay, Okay, I have
a good one that has all this really quality, awesome
stuff that's not giving me little red bumps.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Exactly, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
That had been my experience with some other ones and
so I love it. When it comes to the other product,
I will sort of wrap on this one because of
the I cream and all that's there, or maybe you
don't even use an kream whatever, But how far up
do we take the product around our eyes? Like can
the tin sage forty go around our orbital bone and
our eye?
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Absolutely?
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Okay, especially the forties because they're very simplify, very simple formula,
and it's designed to be used post procedure, so.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
You could layer it.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
So I could take the forty all the way and
then I layer the I cream. Yep, okay, good because
it's already what I do. I'm just making sure ye yes, okay,
And I didn't know, but the fifty can also go
same or the fifty can say but it's got it's
got some extra ingredients, so I would kind of stop.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
I would stop where you would apply the I cream
and then use your I cream as the treatment for
the eye area.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Okay, Well, I feel like I just got a little
quick masterclass on snail stuff. And I'm very thankful that
Valerie took the time to come and walk through some
of this because this is stuff that used to only
be offered in doctors' offices, so it's on the Biopel
website for anybody to purchase.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
I have Radio Amy.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
I have a highlight button that has a snail and
there's a code there. But also it's on Amazon and
sometimes it's on sale, So I always try to post
a heads up to y'all listening because you should know
when it's on sale, and I want you to get
the best bang for your buck if you're trying something
that I'm telling.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
You about for sure.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
And then also when it comes to the Amazon thing,
I've checked with Biopel, it's legit Biopel products, because I
feel like sometimes I've ordered stuff from Amazon and I
think it's coming from the company or it's a the
legit thing, and then it seems different. But it is
Biopel stamp of approval all the things. It's like as
if you're ordering it from Biopel, and it's in my
(28:32):
Amazon storefront, which there's links to everything at Radio Am
in my Instagram and on highlights and stuff. But I
also want y'all to know to keep a lookout on
my Instagram because Biopel has been so gracious and we
do a lot of giveaways together, like We just did
like twenty recently, and we're going to do twenty more
(28:52):
leading up to Christmas, maybe even thirty, So just that'd
be thirty people randomly that will be picking. So just
keep an eye out on my stories in different posts
so that way you know how to enter and I
can randomly pick somebody and maybe you'll win some tensage forty.
So that's just something special, and I'm very very thankful
for biopel being so so giving in that area.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
There's always some sort of deal going on.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Yeah, or there was something really awesome that we did
maybe a month or so ago, and it was really cool.
There was probably I think a thirty percent discount, and
then also you got free product with if you spent
over a certain amount and like free eye patches. I
mean it was Trust me, I'm looking out for deals
like that for y'all all the time. But at least
(29:35):
now you know, if you're already using it, hopefully you're
a little more informed or a lot more informed. And
then if you're curious about it, this hopefully gave you
some information as to whether or not you want to
try it out.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Yes, I hope it was helpful and I really appreciate
you bringing me on. The forties are an obsession of
mine for sure, as well as many of the other
Biopel products. But it's a lot of fun. It's an
interesting store. When it first sort of came out, snails,
not cute, not sexy, not a great topic to discuss.
(30:09):
And now it's just so interesting to me how it's like, wow,
this is really changed and people are so into like
the snail facials and all things with the snail stuff.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Yeah, no, it's so it's fascinating. It's been an interesting
journey to see, Like I.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
Want to go to Spain to the snail spall right,
your little greenhouse they live in, and just meet the snails,
meet the snails and say thank you.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Keep it up.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
You're doing great, right all right, Valerie, we appreciate it,
and you know, maybe we can get together again and
do some sort of a video or I feel like
I've tried to keep people up. Just be how I
do it. Because the ampules you can put it on
with the cotton.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Ball, yep, but I but you can also put it
on my fingers.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Okay, yea gallery approved, Yes, Valerie approved.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
Absolutely, That's what I needed to know about I put
on my finger because I just feel like I can
apply it a lot easier, especially to my next and
chest air.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
And then pro tip I also if I have any
left over on my hands or.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
I put always put it on the back of your hands. Always,
always put it on the back of your hands.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Don't ever waste any product, whatever product it is, it
doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Put it on the back of your hands. Never waste product.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
People don't realize like how much time that on the
backs of their hands they get sun exposure driving in
the car, because no one thinks about sunscreening their hands. Yeah,
and so that's that is pro tip. Do not put
it down the drain. Put it on the back of
your hands.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
Perfect, all right, love it, Thanks y'all. Bye,
Le cass up thing little food for yoursel.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Life. Oh it's pretty bad.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Hey, it's pretty beautiful thing beautiful for.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
That for a little more exciting, said, he can cut
your kicking with full thing.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
With Amy Brown, Happy Thursday. Four Things Amy here. And
if you follow me on Instagram or occasionally I've mentioned
it on the podcast, you know I'm obsessed with snail stuff,
as I call it. But it's actually from a company.
It's called Biopel. I found them through Carrie, who's at
the Nashville Beauty Girl. She's come on the podcast multiple times.
She's amazing with skincare. And she text me, Amy, you
(00:55):
have to try this ten Sage forty, order it now.
And I didn't order it right away, and then she
hit me up again, did you get the tin Sage forty?
And it was an Amazon link, so I was like, well, okay, fine,
I'll just boom boom boom order it. And I used
it and I did like a ten day treatment situation
because it comes with ten ampules and my skin was glowing.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
I loved it.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Then I started posting about it, and then suddenly my
Instagram was a snail account for a while, and then
I got to know Biopel through posting it, and I
still have questions about it though, and I'm very curious
as to where the snail is coming from, what is happening,
what is the process, how did someone to even discover this?
And really we're going to hit on four things from
(01:40):
biopel that are really amazing. And I'm excited to bring
in Valerie Johnson because she is here to represent Biopel
and Valorie, you can introduce yourself to everybody, say what
you do, and then we can get into talking about
snail stuff and why I love it so much.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Wait.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Thanks Amy for having me on. I'm Valerie Johnson. I
formerly work for biopal and now I consult exclusively with
them and their training and education departments. So I really
focused in on the key things about the products that
set Biopel apart from other skincare brands out there.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Let's just start with the snail questions because everyone's intrigued
by it. So I think the snail it just has
a lot of popularity, Like if you say, oh, I'm
putting snail stuff on my skin, and I don't know
if it's because a few years ago a lot of
celebrities were doing it. And when I first heard about it,
I was picturing them laying there and then snail's being
put on their face, sort of like the fish pedicure.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Things, right, right, And they do have that.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
They do have that, the thing where the snails or
the snails cirl on their Yes, oh okay, well that's okay.
I've never done that, but that's what I was picturing.
But you know, I can't even remember specifically which celebrities,
but of course it just it's a clickbait, like you
want to know, Oh, this person's doing this for their skin.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Oh and it's snail.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
I'm curious about this, And so I was intrigued a
long time ago, and then have tried different snail products
or products that have snail serum in them, right, But
really the biopal Tensage forty was the game changer for
me that really gave me this glow and my skin
was really smooth. I just became instantly obsessed and people
(03:23):
were asking you, what is going on with your skin?
And I just can't help but say, it's snail secretion,
it's the snail stuff. And so tell us about the
snails and what is happening and where it comes from sure,
well you mentioned game changer, and that's pretty much anyone
that uses the forties. And that's how most people get
introduced to the snail stuff, is with the forties, the
(03:44):
tensage forties. Yeah, the tensage forties, and they really love
them because they do see an instant improvement, a dramatic improvement,
and people comment just like happened with you. What's so
unique about it is the story behind the snail and
the snail secretion.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
So it back many years ago.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
There was a radiation oncologist that was very interested in this.
It's a particular species of snail, so for you know,
all the technical gurus out there, this particular species is
called cryptom Follosis versa and they are particular to a
very specific region in Spain and that's where they live
at the snail farm in Sanandier, Spain. But the original
(04:25):
research on it was for radiation patients, so it's radiation dermatitis.
So if anyone out there has ever had radiation treatment done,
this skin gets very very aggravated, so it's very similar
to a sunburn. And so first clinical kind of data
on this was done during the Chernobyl incident. So This
(04:48):
is way back in the eighties, so this has been
around a long time. And what really makes it unique
is that the secretion is not the same secretion that
snails use for motility, okay, to move around. It's from
completely different glands and it's an evolutionary change where these
snails were aquatic creatures that then moved to land and
(05:10):
so they had to deal with the ionizing rays of
the sun and they developed this evolutionarily change in which
there is a secretion from three different glands that have
nothing to do with movement, and it was all about
to heal their skin, so the skin that's outside of
the protective shell and when it would be damaged, whether
(05:31):
through injury or through sun exposure extreme sun exposure, this
secretion was healing their skin within forty eight hours. So
that's why this radiation oncologist was so interested in this
because of this incredible healing properties that it had. And
then fast forward to today, it's really been perfected in
that how they obtained the subcretion is extremely important because
(05:55):
kind of like our bodies with stress, like a little
bit of stress is good, right for like athletes, they
can perform really well, but when you have a high
amount of stress, then that's really not good for the body.
So it's the same with these snails, is that a
little bit of stress causes them to release the secretion.
If they have too much stress, then the secretion becomes contaminated.
(06:17):
So it's an incredibly like rigorous process that they go
through to make sure that each batch they receive has
the most viable ability to heal skin.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Well, those snails are harmed in the process, it's a
huge shay, yes, because if they are harmed, First of all,
that really defeats the purpose of having the product and
a renewable resource.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
But secondly, it's like I was saying about the stress,
if they were harmed in the process, there would be
no viable secretion.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
It would become contaminated.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
So that's why the videos I've seen of them in Spain.
In there it looks sort of like a greenhouse. Yeah,
it's called the snail, but we call it the snail spat.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Yeah, that's gonna say. It looks like a spot.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
It's very relaxing and they're hanging out and nibbling on
carrots and lettuce.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Oh, it's all organic produce. I mean, they really.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Are in it.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Because living their best life. They are living their best life.
You know, it's amazing, very very well cared for.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Okay, so when they are have the right amount of stress,
not too much, not too much, and they secreted and
then mass gathered.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Right, that's collected, it's purified, every batch is tested, it's
stored so that it contains the most viability because inside
of this secretion, So like great, but what's in the secretion, right,
what's doing the work. And so what they identified was
a fiberblast growth factor, and I think people are kind
of familiar with growth factors and the benefits that they
(07:50):
have on skin. But there's also antioxidants in the secretion,
and there are other ingredients that we kind of lump
into a category called glycoproteins write big word, but things
like how uronic acid that's a glycoprotein and how uronic
acid is in it as well, And so it has
this ability to do amazing regeneration of skin cells. And
(08:13):
that's what's so important for the anti aging component of it.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
So originally looked.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
At therapeutically, but if you look at a wound or
a sunburn, things like that, when you look at aging skin,
it's very very similar. It's just a long term damage
that happens. And so the things that can heal for
things like radiation, dermatology or dermatitis also help with aging skin,
(08:41):
and so that's sort of how they jumped the correlation
to it for anti aging.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Well, what I mostly use is the tin Sage forty right,
and I use the Radiance I cream yep, which is
the tinted one with a little bit of shimmer, and
on the website it says daytime, but I use it
at day and night because I love the tint and
the shimmer and I also don't want to own two
night creams or I creams, right, so that's not right simple,
keep it simple. And so those are the two that
(09:08):
I love. But there is the Tensage fifty, which I've
dabbled with a little bit. I don't know the difference
between the fifty and the forty, So I want to
get to that in case anybody else has ordered it,
and will dive into more of what the ten day
treatment is like, because just walking people through maybe they
do end up wanting to try it. Lay out four
(09:29):
things that stand out to you about biopel, and then
we can get into all the the goodies, lay out
four things that stand out to you about Biopel, and
(09:52):
then we can get into all the goodies.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
The nuance of the products, well, I think first and foremost,
Biopel really stands by their clinical results, so clinically proven
ingredients and products. And then secondarily would be the focus
is on anti aging and anywhere from your fine lines
and wrinkles to uneven skin pigmentation as well as like
(10:17):
skin laxity or that sagging skin. So that's really the
focus that Biopel puts on.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Yeah too, just real quick, I feel like I need
to clarify because it sounds like this is not in
any way a long commercial or like I am genuinely
a fan of Biopel and invited you to come and
educate me and others because I know so many of
my listeners and followers on Instagram have been trying to
use it. I have friends that have been trying it,
(10:44):
using it and they're loving it, and so I just
wanted to insert that in real quick, that this is
strictly educational and just supposed to be informative, and I'm
learning stuff to myself because you know, you become a
fan of something and I just see that it's working,
but then I don't know all the exact details of
what the heck is happening. So okay, first thing clinically proven,
(11:04):
second thing, all the anti aging benefits, and then I'll
add into that the glow. There's just this glow no
matter what age your skin is. And what's the third thing?
Third thing would be unique technologies. So Biopel has several
unique technologies, and of course you know this one being
the snail stuff, right, but we have other technologies that
(11:25):
are very unique and target different categories of skin aging
and different age groups too. And that's really important because
a lot of times just because you put an ingredient
in a product doesn't mean that it might be very
efficacious or work very well. Technologies behind it can really
make an impact on your end result, and that's what's
(11:47):
important to us, is really good end results. And then
lastly is multitasking products.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
And what I mean by that is, look, we all
live really busy lifestyles. Nobody has time anymore to do
ten steps in the more warning and eight more steps
at night. The idea is put as many key ingredients
that will work well together in a product so that
you use less products. It's all about less steps, saving
(12:15):
time beginning the maximum benefit that you can.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Well, since my products, like I mentioned are the Tin
Sage forty and the Radiance I Cream, I want you
to touch on the benefits of those. The snail stuff
is in there. But there's the ten day pack, which
let me share with you how I've done it. When
I first got it, I did what it said on
the back, and I followed YouTube one every day for
(12:38):
seven days, and then I did for three weeks one week,
So that's how you get the ten So I called
it the ten day treatment plan, but really it's longer
than ten, right, So what are the benefits of doing that?
Maybe quarterly because some people they're just not going to
They have to pick and choose when they're going to
get certain getting things donecause at the end of the day,
(12:59):
that's it's an investment in their skin.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
I treated it.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
When I ordered it, I was like, well, this is
in place of if I were to go have gotten
a facial or gotten something done or whatever, treated myself
to something. This is more of an at home a
little spot.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
A spot treatment. Yeah, we call it the intensive boosted treatment, right.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
And so I did the first quarter what what I
was going to do, and since I loved it so much,
is then a quarter later I did it again, and
then a quarter later I did it again, and I'm
about to do my fourth quarter work of it for
the year. And then I have some extra ones that
if I have an event, then I'll put it on
under my makeup before whatever I have to do that night,
(13:37):
right during the day for that extra glow, and I
put out my face, my neck, and my chest.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
In one ampuol. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
So let's start with the ten Sage forty the ten
day as I call it, which is totally wrong.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Right, but call the ten Okay, keep it simple.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
All the ten sage products have the nail secretion in them,
and like you call it the forties, right, and that's
what we call it too, right, that's our little, you know,
kind of internal lingo for it. And the number has
to do with the intensity of that snail secretion. So
that's why like the forties and the fifties, they're intensive
boost to treatments because they have a very high concentration
(14:14):
of it. It's also why they're in little small ampules
because the higher the concentration than the higher probability of
it breaking down quickly.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Which I will say.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
I have how to video on my Instagram in reels
showing how to break open the ampule, because it's another
thing that I was stressing out about YouTube on midnight,
because we're at midnight on YouTube, like how.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Do I do this? Yes, because I didn't want to
break it wrong. I didn't want to do it wrong.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
And it is hard to figure out in the beginning,
just because it's you've never done it before. I probably
shouldn't even use the word hard. It's just it's interesting
and it's not intuitive.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
It's not intuitive.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Yeah, it's not intuitive, it's unfamiliar. And then but once
you figure it out.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
It's so easy. It's so easy.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
So they're designed in a very small, single use ampule,
so it keeps the secretion very pure, very viable and active.
So it's a little plastic tube that has a cotton
tip applicator, but inside of that plastic tube is a
glass file that's closed off and that's what keeps the solution,
you know, air tight, completely viable. So when you press
(15:25):
the plastic outer tubing, it's like a crush file, so
you're crushing that inner glass file but the plastic and
the cotton tiped applicator prevent any glass from breaking. You know,
it's not going to break through the plastic or get
through the cotton tip applicator.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
It's very satisfying, it is. It's like crunch. Yeah, I
love the sound.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
So the forties are besides being an intensive boost to treatment,
they're like a forty percent for sake of conversation concentration
of We call it SCA, which is that secretion of
the snail the crypton falsis versa, so we call it SDA.
So it's a very eye concentration, which is why we
don't recommend it for daily use. It's very you know,
expensive to produce, so that's why you have the cost factor.
(16:08):
And we do recommend doing an intensive boost to treatment
once a quarter every three months. And it is really
designed to kind of be in lieu of that going
in and getting some procedure, Like it's a way to
do something at home that really just gives your skin
an incredible sort of instant glow but also provides you
(16:28):
with the maximum benefit.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
And well, I will.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Say because Carrie the National Beauty Girl, she was starting
to use it. If she was doing I don't know
if it's micro needling or different things. Because of the
healing properties yep. And so that's how you can double
up on something. But I for the sake of this,
we're talking about just you know, doing it quarterly or
whenever you can, or if you want to try it
(16:52):
or you know, ask for it for Christmas or something
like that could be something fun to get and look
forward to over Christmas break. But you know, she I
know was using it to help post procedure to heal
right faster.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
That's our main use for it is post procedure, okay.
And the reason is, and this kind of gets into
the what's the difference between the forties and the fifties
And the biggest difference with the forties and the fifties,
and we'll just talk about stay on the forties for
a second, is the forties have that high percentage of
sea but they also have it also has vitamin C
(17:28):
and E, and then it has two moisturizers that give
immediate and long lasting hydration.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
So it's very simple. It's a very very simple product.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
And that's why we recommend it post procedure because it's
really going to help speed up the healing process, so
it can really help improve outcomes, reduce the kind of
the negative side effects you get with certain procedures like
the redness, the irritation, the itching, stinging, things like that,
so it can help with that. But it's a great
boosted treatment, and so are our fifties.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Now.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
The fifties are different similar packaging, but instead of being
a crush file, it's a what we call an airless tube,
so it's a very small tube that once you open it,
you can't close it back. However, air can't get in
back into the tube, and that's what oxidizes products and
causes them to age prematurely. Right, and so the fifties
(18:25):
they have a higher concentration of the growth factor, but
there's also peptides in there, so the peptides help address
fine lines and wrinkles. And then there are also two
moisturizers that we call dual action, so you get surfaced
and you get deep hydration with it. But then there's
also this triple brightening complex, and so the brightening complex
(18:46):
helps with that uneven pigmentation or those brown spots that
we get as we age. So it's also your boost
to treatment. But because of all the additional ingredients in
it that are really addressing that more moderate to severe
aging versus the forties forties are more like your mild
to moderate aging. We don't recommend it post procedure. More
(19:08):
things you have in a product and your skin's been
compromised after a procedure, more chances that you have a
reaction to it. And so it's really designed as a
quarterly boosted treatment only. So the easy way that I
call it to categorize, like, well, when do you do
the forties versus the fifties?
Speaker 1 (19:23):
How do I know?
Speaker 2 (19:24):
I say, think forties and under use your forties, fifties
and over use your fifties because it really kind of
is a good age bracket of the difference in the
skin aging during those time periods, and you get quote
unquote sort of more bang for your buck with the
fifties as an intensive boosted treatment, but it's not necessary
(19:48):
because you'll get great results with the forties as well.
It just depends on what you are really focused on. Well,
also improving with.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
The fifties, which I love all the information you just
gave me because I had no idea.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
I just said, had tried it before.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
But the teeny tiny air tight tube, while the ampules
for the forty is a one we'll call it one
serving like you kind of it's day one and done.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
The air tight tube.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
For the fifties, I got use out of it for
three days.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Yeah, you'll easily get two to three days worth of
usage out of it. Depends on like you talk about,
which is extremely smart to use it on.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Your face, neck, and chest.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
A lot of people forget about their neck and chest,
and even if it's just the v of your chest,
but you'll kind of see as and especially for women
and after we go through menopause, like you'll see someone
who's taken really good care of their skin, but only
their face, and then you'll see their neck and it's
sort of like their neck tells their real age and
the face does it. So it's extremely important to treat
(20:48):
your neck and at least the via your chest because
that's still exposed so much to all the sun and
environmental pollutions. And you're right, the fifties you get two
to two to three days easily of use out of them.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
So if you were to do a quarterly treatment of
that to say, and it's a box of ten as well,
so that you get that last you would last about
a month. Yeah, so your quarterly treatment could be a
month month. Yeah, well that's yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
What are your thoughts on doing it at night versus morning?
Speaker 1 (21:30):
What are your.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Thoughts on doing it at night versus morning? My personal experience,
when I first started, I was doing it at night,
and then I was loving the globe so much and
I thought, well, this is being wasted while I sleep.
So then I started doing it in the morning, right, And.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
It's perfectly fine to do am or pm. It doesn't matter.
I say, do it when you will remember to do it.
That's the most important time. But yeah, you do really
get the benefit of the glow that your skin shows
just sort of immediately after using it, and so it's
nice to have that glow throughout the day.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
What about the radiance I cream or just I cream
in general? Because I know that part of our skin
is so thin, and I feel like I was taught really.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
On use your ring finger.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Here's your ring finger, your pink your weakest finger, your
weakest finger. You have that so that you don't mess
with the skin around there. And where should we be
applying it.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
On our eyes?
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Because I see different things you know on TikTok, like
where you're actually supposed to start and why is I
cream so important? And I know this is a podcast,
so people aren't necessarily getting the visual, but I think
you could describe like how far out or where to.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Go up or your horbital bone. Yeah, so there's two things.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
One the skin on our eyelids, so the upper and
the lower. There is a lower eyelid as well. It's
the thinnest skin on the body. So there's two things
to be concerned about. That means one, like what product
you're using is going to penetrate very quickly because the
skin so thin there. So that's why they make products
specific to the eye area because you have to be
(23:00):
very careful with like the concentration of ingredients that you
use because the skin is so thin. And then secondarily
is especially from the blinking movement, but also because the
skin so thin, you get what we call a wicking action,
and so products will migrate further than where you applied them.
And so that's why it is important like where do
(23:20):
I apply it? If you stick with that orbital bone,
so wherever you feel with you know, the eye socket
wherever you feel the bone, that is where you apply
your eye product.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
You're showing me right now, up on the bone by
your eyebrow.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Oh yeah, putting it there. You can put it there
as well. I've never done that. Okay, put it there as.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Well, because think about like we get the hooding on
the top of our eyelids as we age, and that's
a difficult area to treat.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
It's very sensitive. But the product is going to wick.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
And that's where you get most of like this movement
with the blinking and the skin fold the eye. You know,
the skin fold is going to like transfer some of
that product. So if you keep it to the brow area,
the brow bone, and then you go down below. But
our bigger area of concern below is that puffiness, dark circles,
and then of course you know on the sides are
those crows feet. So if you just stick with the
(24:12):
orbital rim, then you'll be safe knowing that you'll get
good efficacy and you won't have run the risk of
the product like migrating into the eye area.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
But it will migrate.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
So you'll get benefit of the skin closer to the
lash line by applying it even that far away.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Wow, Okay, new tip. Now I know tonight I'm going
to be you're gonna get the top part of you
can do the orbital bone. Yeah, yeah, you can feel
around and just everybody's eyes a little bit different. But
the Radiance I cream, the tint of the shimmer, the
snail stuff isn't that too.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
The snail stuff isn't anything that's that's labeled tensage.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
They all have the snail stuff different secretions.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
So in the in the Radiance I Cream there's a
ten percent concentration of it, so again right thin area,
so you don't need as much. And there are also
peptides in the I cream as well, and there's a
peptide that helps address those fine lines and wrinkles or
the crows feet, and then there's also a peptide that
addresses the microcirculations that's going to help with your puffiness
(25:19):
and your dark under eye circles. Then you've got the
what we call soft focused microspheres and that's where you
see that shimmer, that light reflecting shimmer.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
And then the tent.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
The tent is very nice too because it helps to
camouflage any imperfections around the eye area and.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
It's kind of a power pack too.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
It's got moisturizers, you know, hyuronic acid, it's got antioxidants.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
So it's people love that I cream and so glad
I found it.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Yeah, I mean even if it didn't have this snail stuff,
I just love the tint and the shimmer. But everything
you're saying about what it's doing. And I've used a
lot of different I creams and some have caused like
little red sensitive skin. I've gotten little red bumps from
others that I have tried.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
There. You know, there's some from the drug store.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
That I still use as well, Like I love Birt's
Bees has one that I'm just like, Okay, I can
grab it and like make sure that I've got it
and travel and whatnot.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Like I have some other favorites.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
But then there's some MI creams where I've invested some
money and then they've given me the little red bumps.
And so I was so excited when I tried the
Radiance one, and I was like, yay, Okay, I have
a good one that has all this really quality, awesome
stuff that's not giving me little red bumps.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Exactly, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
That had been my experience with some other ones and
so I love it. When it comes to the other product,
I will sort of wrap on this one because of
the I cream and all that's there, or maybe you
don't even use an kream whatever, But how far up
do we take the product around our eyes? Like can
the tin sage forty go around our orbital bone and
our eye?
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Absolutely?
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Okay, especially the forties because they're very simplify, very simple formula,
and it's designed to be used post procedure, so.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
You could layer it.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
So I could take the forty all the way and
then I layer the I cream. Yep, okay, good because
it's already what I do. I'm just making sure ye yes, okay,
And I didn't know, but the fifty can also go
same or the fifty can say but it's got it's
got some extra ingredients, so I would kind of stop.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
I would stop where you would apply the I cream
and then use your I cream as the treatment for
the eye area.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Okay, Well, I feel like I just got a little
quick masterclass on snail stuff. And I'm very thankful that
Valerie took the time to come and walk through some
of this because this is stuff that used to only
be offered in doctors' offices, so it's on the Biopel
website for anybody to purchase.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
I have Radio Amy.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
I have a highlight button that has a snail and
there's a code there. But also it's on Amazon and
sometimes it's on sale, So I always try to post
a heads up to y'all listening because you should know
when it's on sale, and I want you to get
the best bang for your buck if you're trying something
that I'm telling.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
You about for sure.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
And then also when it comes to the Amazon thing,
I've checked with Biopel, it's legit Biopel products, because I
feel like sometimes I've ordered stuff from Amazon and I
think it's coming from the company or it's a the
legit thing, and then it seems different. But it is
Biopel stamp of approval all the things. It's like as
if you're ordering it from Biopel, and it's in my
(28:32):
Amazon storefront, which there's links to everything at Radio Am
in my Instagram and on highlights and stuff. But I
also want y'all to know to keep a lookout on
my Instagram because Biopel has been so gracious and we
do a lot of giveaways together, like We just did
like twenty recently, and we're going to do twenty more
(28:52):
leading up to Christmas, maybe even thirty, So just that'd
be thirty people randomly that will be picking. So just
keep an eye out on my stories in different posts
so that way you know how to enter and I
can randomly pick somebody and maybe you'll win some tensage forty.
So that's just something special, and I'm very very thankful
for biopel being so so giving in that area.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
There's always some sort of deal going on.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Yeah, or there was something really awesome that we did
maybe a month or so ago, and it was really cool.
There was probably I think a thirty percent discount, and
then also you got free product with if you spent
over a certain amount and like free eye patches. I
mean it was Trust me, I'm looking out for deals
like that for y'all all the time. But at least
(29:35):
now you know, if you're already using it, hopefully you're
a little more informed or a lot more informed. And
then if you're curious about it, this hopefully gave you
some information as to whether or not you want to
try it out.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Yes, I hope it was helpful and I really appreciate
you bringing me on. The forties are an obsession of
mine for sure, as well as many of the other
Biopel products. But it's a lot of fun. It's an
interesting store. When it first sort of came out, snails,
not cute, not sexy, not a great topic to discuss.
(30:09):
And now it's just so interesting to me how it's like, wow,
this is really changed and people are so into like
the snail facials and all things with the snail stuff.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Yeah, no, it's so it's fascinating. It's been an interesting
journey to see, Like I.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
Want to go to Spain to the snail spall right,
your little greenhouse they live in, and just meet the snails,
meet the snails and say thank you.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Keep it up.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
You're doing great, right all right, Valerie, we appreciate it,
and you know, maybe we can get together again and
do some sort of a video or I feel like
I've tried to keep people up. Just be how I
do it. Because the ampules you can put it on
with the cotton.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Ball, yep, but I but you can also put it
on my fingers.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Okay, yea gallery approved, Yes, Valerie approved.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
Absolutely, That's what I needed to know about I put
on my finger because I just feel like I can
apply it a lot easier, especially to my next and
chest air.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
And then pro tip I also if I have any
left over on my hands or.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
I put always put it on the back of your hands. Always,
always put it on the back of your hands.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Don't ever waste any product, whatever product it is, it
doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Put it on the back of your hands. Never waste product.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
People don't realize like how much time that on the
backs of their hands they get sun exposure driving in
the car, because no one thinks about sunscreening their hands. Yeah,
and so that's that is pro tip. Do not put
it down the drain. Put it on the back of
your hands.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
Perfect, all right, love it, Thanks y'all. Bye,
