Kinara Skin Care was developed
by renowned facialist Olga Lorencin-Northrup at Kinara, her Skin Care Clinic
in Los Angeles. Yugoslavian-born, Olga brings a
European appreciation for the profound rewards of
skincare, bridging the gap between new
skin technologies and old world recipes.
"Looking at clients' pores for hours on end enables
me to see the direct impact of products and
measure their effectiveness." says Olga.
"For effective skin care, it's not just having
ingredients that do x, y or z. How do they work
together? How does the product feel?
How does it react with the skin?"
Kinara Oily Skin products - Purifying Cleansing
Gel, Re-Balancing Tonic, Lactic Acid Hydrating
Serum and Lemon Eucalyptus Hydrator - were
created to address what Olga saw as a significant
gap in today's skin care offerings. Many clients
complained about impure, oily/acne skin, that was
also dehydrated and aging, no matter what
products they used. The only options available
were harsh products, and as a result, not effective
over the long term. Kinara Oily Skin Care line not
only effectively deals with impure/oily skin,
but is also a hydrating anti-aging powerhouse.
Kinara Dry Skin products - Rehydrating Cleanser,
Dry Skin Toner, Intense Moisture with Peptides,
Intense Peptide Serum and Nighttime Skin
Quencher return moisture, richness and vigor
to skin in need, due to nature, time, climate
or overexposure to active treatments.
Exquisite in experience and visibly effective
in formulation, these products actively reduce
signs of premature aging, deeply rehydrate skin
and counteract the redness, irritation and
reactivity common to dry skin.
Suitable for all skin types, Kinara Eye Cream is the perfect addition to both oily
and dry skin care regimens.

Kinara Anti-Aging Nutrition
There is a myriad of healthy antioxidant foods on one's plate today - green leafy vegetables, berries, wild Alaskan Salmon etc. But here are some that are less known, and definitely at the top of the list on Kinara's menu. According to Olga Lorencin-Northrup, skin care expert and co-founder of Kinara Skin Care Clinic, Spa and Cafe, these super-foods go beyond traditional spa cuisine into the realm of anti-aging, not to mention their extreme benefits to your skin and overall health.
Tibetan Goji Berries are almost completely unknown to the West, yet has been prized for its anti-aging and healing properties in the East for centuries. In fact, Many Tibetans credit the berries as the secret to their longevity; those living past 100 years old in the culture are not uncommon.
The Goji Berry is considered one of the most nutritionally rich foods on the planet. These delicate berries contain 19 amino acids, 21 trace minerals, (including zinc, germanium, calcium, selenium, phosphorus and many others) Vitamin C (500 times by weight than oranges), Vitamin B1, B2, B6, Vitamin E, Essential Fatty Acids, polysaccharides, and other nutrients.
The widely-recognized benefits associated with consuming the berries include; advanced anti-oxidant properties, stimulates secretion of Human Growth Hormone, increased energy, healthy blood pressure, reduction of cholesterol, promotion of healthy blood sugar levels, enhanced sexual function and treatment of sexual dysfunction, strengthens muscles and bones, strengthens the heart, supports healthy liver function, improves memory, alleviates anxiety and stress, improves fertility, and even aids in weight loss,
Hemp Seed Nut is almost as nutritionally sound, but Olga likes it primarily because the nut is the best source of the essential fatty acids Omega-3 Linolenic Acid and Omega-6 Linoleic Acid, as well as Gamma-Linoleic Acid. While most foods have little if any, Hemp Seed Nut is over 36% essential fatty acids and in Nature's perfect balance. It contains 31% complete and highly digestible protein (second only to soybean), and is high in vitamins and minerals.
Additionally, it has almost as much protein as soybean but more digestible and of higher quality, similar to egg whites.
EFAs do not function as energy sources, but as raw materials for cell structure and as precursors for the synthesis of many of the body's regulatory biochemicals necessary for almost every body process. EFAs help carry off toxins from the skin, kidneys, lungs and intestinal tract. They also create energy within cells by carrying oxygen from red blood cells into them.
Foods rich in EFAs reduce the risk of heart disease and reduce the blood clots that cause heart attacks and strokes, control cholesterol levels, and lower blood pressure. As EFAs have natural anti-inflammatory properties, they can also help with conditions such as arthritis and autoimmune disorders.
Kinara incorporates Goji Berries in a delicious salad of baby arugula with Israeli couscous, Fuji apple, toasted walnuts, golden raisins, mint and goat cheese, as well as Kinara's own Goji Berry trail mix with toasted walnuts, almonds, golden raisins and hemp seed nut. Hemp Seed Nut is also side dish that can be added to salads or soups, and is featured in Kinara Café's popular three course anti-aging menu, and is added to the green asparagus soup and the organic spinach salad that accompanies the wild salmon main course.
