Traditional Chinese medicine tells us we progress move through phases of the five elements throughout our lives. We view these as age spans or segments of life.
For this reason, certain sets of skin and emotional conditions are considered normal for your age.
The ancient Chinese identified each of five typical phases of life as 15 years long. One of the five element energies influences one of these 15-year phases.
Today, our life spans are getting longer. So we can typically add three to five years to each of these five life phases.
Wood is the first phase of life—from birth to about age 15 or a bit older.
During the growing up years we become the budding sprout that grows into the young tree.
We might normally expect to see oily skin and its effects on scalp and hair during the Wood phase of life.
During the youthful Wood phase, our vital energy pulses alive through our bodies abundantly. But it needs to be directed.
During the childhood Wood phase of intense growth and energy flow, we get frustrated, anxious and often angry. It’s easy to feel restless with all the energy surging through our bodies.
But this is very moral for this initial almost unbridled growing phase of life.
The quantum energetic Wood line of skin and hair care is formulated to help anyone with oily skin conditions, impeded vital energy flow and emotional displays of anger and lack of confidence. Bring these to balance with the Wood line even if you’re not in the Wood phase of life.
Clear oily skin and scalp and balance vital energy flow. Gain greater self-confidence and feel naturally kinder.
Fire marks the second phase of life beginning around age 15 and lasting until age 30 plus.
We become young adults during this second phase of life as we learn life skills and build our lives.
Red blood circulation normally soothes, cools and hydrates the body. But it can go out-of-balance during the Fire phase. This results in hot, sensitive, blotchy allergic skin.
During the second Fire phase of life the emotion of joy can express in extremes. We might feel joyless or display over-the-top expressions of joy. This is the phase of life when we learn to bring joy to balance.
The quantum energetic Fire line of skincare is formulated to help you bring not just skin and red blood circulation into balance but your joy as well. Also use the Fire line if you have any of these conditions even if you’re not in the Fire phase of life.
Earth is the third phase of life beginning around age 30 and lasting until age 45 or slightly older.
Many people in the Earth phase have started families. Nurturing family and all relationships is important to us.
Having to deal with the rigors of life, it’s a lot. And it shows up in skin as toxic acne, blemishes, and enlarged pores. It helps to encourage flow of lymph to detoxify skin.
Lymph is a colorless fluid that flushes toxins through a complex network of vessels in the body. The Earth line of skincare encourages better flow of lymph.
During this time of building families, careers and relationships, it’s easy to go into overwhelm as we try to be all things to all people. This keeps us from taking care of our own bodies as we should. We find it more challenging to finish projects and to express ourselves creatively.
But all these can be brought to balance and the quantum energetic Earth line supports it.
Don’t assume that because you’re not living through the third Earth phase of life, you don’t need to support the energy of Earth. If you have any Earth conditions, quantum energetic Earth element skin and hair care is right for you.
Detoxify skin, reduce enlarged pores and regain your ability to express yourself creatively.
Metal is the fourth phase of life according to traditional Chinese medicine. It begins somewhere around age 45 or slightly older and lasts until age 60 or older.
As well established adults, we’re now better equipped to meet life where it is. We’re more able to focus on what’s important and that includes listening to the voice within.
During this fourth Metal phase of life, we’ll see surface dryness and flakiness show up in skin. Our blue blood circulation starts to flow more sluggishly. Skin and body lack begin to suffer from mineral and oxygen depletion manifesting as congested dull lifeless looking skin.
The third Metal phase of life is when many start regretting past life events. We might grieve over the past and feel sad.
But these emotions as well as Metal’s skin conditions can be brought to balance when you use the quantum energetic anti-age Metal line of skin and hair care. In fact, bring these conditions to balance with the Metal line even if you’re not in the Metal phase of life.
Brighten skin, smooth fine lines and develop a sense that all is well.
Water is the fifth phase of life. It generally begins around age 60 or older.
Now is when we’ve gathered a great deal of wisdom from life experience so much so that many living through this phase qualify to be called Sages.
The typical Water energy skin condition prevailing during this phase is dehydrated skin losing elasticity and developing lines. The body’s internal water circulation and moisture retention is out-of-balance.
People in their Water phase of life tend to worry and let fear take over to a large extent. But these emotions as well as Water’s skin conditions can be brought to balance when you use the quantum energetic Water line of skin and hair care for mature skin and hair.
Super-hydrate mature very dry skin, increase elasticity and balance moisture retention. Regain a prevailing sense of zenitude.
