Terry Martin’s fascination with makeup began as a child and led to work as a medical esthetician and paramedical makeup artist. This experience vividly demonstrated how proper care can heal skin and how makeup can restore confidence. It also inspired Martin to create Mederi Cosmetics—a line of natural/organic, cruelty-free, vegan cosmetics and skin care products made in the USA.

“Mederi means ‘healing’ in Latin, and that’s truly what this company is about. I wanted customers to look great knowing they are wearing safe makeup. It makes you feel healthy knowing you are choosing the best products for your body, mind and soul,” shares Martin, CEO and founder.

The cosmetic line includes everything needed in makeup, from foundation and concealer to eyes, brows and lips, in colors and tints that suit every need or preference. There is also a paramedical makeup line for accident and burn survivors that also works great for scars, freckles, bruises, burns, birthmarks, age spots, rosacea and varicose veins. These products can also be used as a regular daily makeup.

“We also offer a wide range of skin care products at MederiSkinCare.com. The skin care side is run by my son, Jeramie Scott,” states Martin. “All of our products are sold online. We also have representatives who will gladly talk with you about your selection and answer any questions you have.”

In-Print News Briefs December 2020
Tick Talk

Spring officially sprung on March 21. We have turned our clocks ahead. We are looking forward to warm winds, sunny skies and the smell of fresh cut grass. The daffodils and tulips have recently bloomed and we are just starting with the yard work that comes with the warmer weather.  Sadly, another season has started ramping up.  Tick season.

•             The best form of protection is prevention. Educating oneself about tick activity and how our behaviors overlap with tick habitats is the first step.

•             According to the NJ DOH, in 2022 Hunterdon County led the state with a Lyme disease incidence rate of 426 cases per 100,000 people. The fact is ticks spend approximately 90% of their lives not on a host but aggressively searching for one, molting to their next stage or over-wintering. This is why a tick remediation program should be implemented on school grounds where NJ DOH deems high risk for tick exposure and subsequent attachment to human hosts.

•             Governor Murphy has signed a bill that mandates tick education in NJ public schools. See this for the details.  Tick education must now be incorporated into K-12 school curriculum. See link:

•             May is a great month to remind the public that tick activity is in full swing. In New Jersey, there are many tickborne diseases that affect residents, including Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Lyme disease, Powassan, and Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiosis.

•             For years, the focus has mainly been about protecting ourselves from Lyme disease. But other tick-borne diseases are on the rise in Central Jersey. An increase of incidence of Babesia and Anaplasma are sidelining people too. These two pathogens are scary because they effect our blood cells. Babesia affects the red blood cells and Anaplasma effects the white blood cells.

•             Ticks can be infected with more than one pathogen. When you contract Lyme it is possible to contract more than just that one disease. This is called a co-infection. It is super important to pay attention to your symptoms. See link.
