I work out and have problems with my skin, such as the horrid “T-zone”, dry patches, blackheads, and large pores. With me being a fitness magazine owner, (and a fitness model for 16 years up until May 2007), I come in contact with a lot of athletes and learned I am not alone. This problem plagues the fitness industry and we had no hopes in sight to help cure it. I, then, met Sandy by the grace of God.

Sandy sent me a sample of her entire line of products for me to use freely. I warned her up front, before she sent me the products; I have very sensitive skin and severe allergies when it comes to products. My skin is so sensitive to the point I can only use one type of soap, I can’t wear perfume nor even have air freshener in my home or office, and I doubt I will be able to use any of products for long. I have problems with allergic reactions to products, especially anything I place around my eye area.

I was skeptical when trying the products but I was amazed. I, honestly, can say that I have used the products for a couple of months now and have not had any negative reactions to any of them. I first fell in love with the Sage and Citrus Moisturizer. My skin was is dire need of this product that it soaked it in quickly! Just using this product alone gave my skin such a healthy glow and soft feeling instantly, but it is enhanced when I use the Borage Leaf Foaming Cleaner and the Natural Grain Shower Scrub with it. I also use the Natural Grain Shower Scrub and Sage & Citrus Moisturizer on my hands and feet.

Once I used Motion Medica’s products, I was so impressed that I asked Sandy to start writing articles for my magazine so we could get the news out that there is hope for exercise induced acne and problem skin of athletes! It really does work and my skin has improved tremendously since I have been using it. Real Gainz Fitness Magazine has named Motion Medica’s products as being the, “Best Kept Fitness Secret in the Industry!” It’s taking the world by storm!

Not only do you receive the superb products from Motion Medica but, you also receive the personalized service from Sandy. She has worked with me, answered my questions, and educated me in the skin of athletes. I felt like I have known her all of my life upon the first contact with her. Her energy is out of this world! I felt she was there to help me, not only to sale her products. She is excellent and very knowledgeable at what she does, and it shows in how she treats and interacts with you as a person and not like just another person with a number.

There aren’t too many products out there that I am willing to endorse and stand up and say, “It works”, but, I have proudly stood up and endorsed this product. I believe in it so much that I have decided to become a distributor of all Motion Medica’s products that I sell in my own store. This is a “must have” for anyone in the fitness industry, whether you are just a once a week runner or if you’re a serious athlete.

Motion Medica has changed my life! At Monica Brant’s FEM Camp I was suffering from horrible acne and dry dry skin. My skin was so bad, Nancy the make-up artist had to spend a whole extra half hour covering it for the pictures! I started with Motion Medica that night and have not stopped since! My skin is finally clear and moist! I cannot believe how well it worked in just 2 months! (See my Motion Medica reference on Monica’s FEM Camp Testimonial Page).

Trust me, Sandy, I had previously tried every acne treatment that my dermatologist could think of and they all failed to improve my skin. I just had my dermatology appointment yesterday and my dermatologist was shocked at how wonderful my skin looked. I told her about Motion Medica and she is intrigued. She would love to learn more! I wanted to take a moment and thank you personally, Sandy. Meeting you and seeing how a confident woman followed her dreams and successfully created a truly fantastic and much needed product has been inspirational. You, Sandy, have transferred your confidence and enthusiasm to me in just one short conversation!

I love to challenge myself and physically strive for the best during every workout and because of this I always come out sweating! My skin would suffer since many of the cleansers were either too harsh or not effective until I found Motion Medica.

Not only do I see a result from the products, I deliberately work up a sweat now because I know there is an effective and invigorating treat awaiting me.

On heavy training days I use the borage leaf foaming cleanser it leaves me feeling refreshed and ready to do it all again!

If I need a total makeover I use the microdermabrasion creme and follow this with the peptide treatment "fantastic"(like a buff and polish). It truly is a new me that emerges and I have the confidence that comes with a positive self image.

"There is nothing better than, being physical and using motion medica for that healthy glow inside and out!"

I have ultra-sensitive skin. My pores, my face, my body all take a beating during sweaty workouts. Because of this, I’ve long been looking for a skin care routine that was invigorating enough to use, and thorough enough to meet my needs. I had trouble finding a product line that matched my skin’s hypersensitivity. Many of the products I’ve used in the past have caused my skin to breakout. Now, my skin can breathe again.

I had the pleasure of meeting Sandy Lee Alcide, founder of Motion Medica, at Monica Brant-Peckham’s F.E.M. Camp 2007 (Fun, Educational, Motivational) in Rhode Island. Sandy Lee, a savvy, inspirational, business sharp entrepreneur held a skin care seminar and introduced us to a product line that is great for active people! Not only did her skin look fantastic, but she spent time helping me develop a skin care regimen that would meet the needs of my active lifestyle.

Her help and her Motion Medica skin care products have been a sweet kiss to my skin! During the three I’ve been using Motion Medica, I can tell a difference in the way my skin feels and looks. I have a healthy glow and fewer blemishes.

Motion Medica facial cleansers go onto my skin softly, and are nonabrasive. When I use the Borage Leaf Foaming Cleanser after a heavy, intense workout – my skin feels refreshed and restored. I look forward to putting on the Sage and Citrus Moisturizer after cleansing and toning. This moisturizer smells heavenly, and seems to melt into my skin. I can’t do without the smooth feel and light, fresh scent of the Orange Sorbet Body Crème - which smells delicious and other favorites, including but not limited to the Dermacleanz Liquid, (perfect for high hormone, acne prone times), the Vital Hydrant Toner, (doesn’t sting like many toners do), the Microdermabrasion Creme (great for rough spots and unsightly skin patches), and the Oxygen Revitalizing Cleanser. These are must have products for daily life and for me as I prepare for my first Figure Competition! Sandy’s concept of providing the fitness world with products that meet their specialized skin care needs is brilliant and covered with good, entrepreneurial sweat!

Upon searching for a new skin care line I happened upon Motion Medica products when I was surfing the net. I was looking for a product that would not dry my skin out and leave it feeling tight and dehydrated. I spoke to Sandy directly for about an hour and she was absolutely enthused about her product line. After explaining to her my needs and my problem areas she knew exactly what would be good for my dry skin.

I have been using the Borage Leaf Cleanser, Vital Hydrant Toner with the Restorative Marine Moisturizer every day and my skin feels amazing. I did not tell my aesthetician that I was trying a new product to see if she would be able to tell the difference. After the first month of using the product she said to me that my skin did not feel as dry and that the texture seemed much better. Thank you Sandy and thank you Motion Medica

At 39 years old and a mother of three I was beginning to see one of the very common symptoms of Peri Menopause. Yes, that's right you can start this as early as 35 years of age. My biggest problem was dry skin with breakouts that I had never experienced as a teen. One day I was browsing over IFBB Pro - Monica Pekhams site which I go to daily as she is so informative and inspiring and I noticed she was endorsing a skin care line, Motion Medica. I have met Monica in person on several occasions and she has beautiful skin. I thought if she is endorsing it, then it must really work. I then emailed Sandy Lee of MM and she gave me the full details of her products.

To date I have been using them daily for about 1 month now and I have not had any break outs, my skin is glowing and the surface is evenly hydrated. Wow! I love all the products I purchased in the sample pack, but I truly love the microdermabrasion cream and the AHA/BHA Exfollient. These two have helped in even skin texture especially around the eyes where the little fine lines were appearing. I don't feel the need to go back to the aesthetician when I have greater results using these. I recommend trying the sample pack after getting some skin advice from Sandy. After that, you will see and feel the difference and you won't look back.

I first stepped on stage at the age of 17, however competition was not new to me even then as started first in track at the tender age of 14. Over two decades later that is a lot of sweat (and tears) training in gyms, on tracks, on bikes and in spikes … great for the body, but my skin suffered maybe more than most. I have super sensitive English skin, seemingly permanently dehydrated by my training, constantly irritated by perfumes and additives.

There could have been a cosmetic graveyard of products I have bought only then to discard because my skin couldn’t handle whatever was in them. This is not just frustrating but expensive. Another frustration of mine is that although the cosmetic counters offer us an amazing array of products if you consider their source it is just a few companies that own just about everything … a product costing $10 may be sold under a different name for $60.

Then came ‘Motion Medica’ ! At last a whole product range I can use and I can trust. I spoke with Sandi and she pointed me to the right products for my skin type .. everyone of them surpasses anything I have used before. I realize now I do not have ‘dry’ skin, it was ingredients in the products that I had been using that had caused the dryness!

It is so refreshing to be able to buy with confidence, confidence in the product itself but also in the company it represents. I personally love the ‘Limu cleanser’, using also the new ‘AHA/BHA cleanser’ a couple of times a week, the ‘Restorative Marine Moisturizer’ is also a must have.

I recommend MM to all my clients and I am pleased to be able recommend it to you.

I first started using Motion Medica products about 3 months ago. I was surfing the web and found the link while looking at IFBB Pro Figure Competitor Monica Brant’s website. After reading about the product line and how it was geared towards fitness enthusiasts, I decided to give it a try. I fell in love with the Dermaclenz Liquid Cleanser and the Sage and Citrus Moisturizer. They both smell absolutely amazing! The cleanser gently removes all traces of makeup and sweat and the moisturizer is amazing. I love putting it on right before I do my cardio, so that when I sweat, I know the moisturizer is getting into my pores and really working! They both are great for oily/acne-prone skin but have absolutely no drying effects whatsoever!

I receive personalized attention from Sandy and her staff each time I place an order. I highly recommend this line of products. You have a customer for life, Motion Medica!

I have had severe acne my whole adult life and I have used so many products that didn't work, I just felt like giving up. I was even on the acne medication Accutane twice. By chance I was perusing the Internet and came across Motion Medica. It peaked my curiosity because it was designed for fitness enthusiasts like myself. I didn't want to get my hopes up because of so many disappointing experiences with past skin care products. So I ordered the sample pack first. I immediately fell in love with the Dermacleanz and the oil-free Sage & Citrus moisturizer. These two products are now the staples of my skin care regime. I also really liked The Restorative Marine Moisturizer because it keeps the delicate eye area soft and moisturized. For a wonderful indulgence the Natural Grain Scrub is a must!! It made my skin feel like silk and smelled like a rich almond dessert!

Within the first fews days of using Motion Medica, I noticed that my skin was clearing up and seemed less congested. It also felt more hydrated in addition to become clearer. I am now becoming addicted to the clarifying Camphor Masque which is great if you want to treat trouble "spots". I have found my skin care solution, and I know you will too!

I have always been prone to breakouts. All the sweat and oil during a workout, especially a high intensity workout, takes a toll on my skin. I excerise six days a week. My workouts consist of perfoming three days of heavy weight training and three days of high intensity cardio whether it be spin class, running/sprinting/stairs outside or using cardio equpment from the gym, I really work up a good sweat.

For many years I have tried dozens of skin care products and skin care lines only to be disappointed that they did not meet the needs of my physically active skin. They dried out my skin, or irritated my skin more or actually produced more breakouts! I was desperate and tried almost anything from ProActiv to Nature's Cure and anything in between.

Finally I was fortunate enough to find Motion Medica. A skin care line targeted specifically toward physical fitness enthusiasts, while keeping their total skin care needs in mind. I felt like I hit the lottery. I had tried so many products and had never come across Sandy Alcide a person/ company that had pionerred such a skincare line until Motion Medica. I was instantly very, very interested.

Not long after using Motion Medica my skin became clearer, brighter, more hydrated, and I had peace of mind that my skin would not break out from intense sweating during exercise.

I have tried many Motion Medica products and LOVE the Sage and Citrus moisturizer (wouldn't think of working out without it!) the Peptide treatment has decreased the appearance of fine lines around my eyes, and the AHA/BHA exfoliant cleans the skin so throughly but without harsh abrasive beads that irritate my skin. I love the fact that their products are all natural and contain the highest amont of botanicals possible. The affordable price and the fact that there are so many products to choose from and mix and match and rotate (my skin never gets "bored") has made me a loyal cutomer! and my skin has never looked better. Do your skin a favor and treat it to some Motion Medica. I'm glad I did!
