Clients often ask me what they can do to counter-act the signs of aging on their face.
Here are 5 things everyone can do:
Use Vitamin C
Vitamin C is essential in rebuilding collagen which makes the skin look firmer and plumper.
Use after cleansing, before moisturizer. Vitamin C is both an antioxidant and collagen booster.
Begin with one application in the morning, every other day, and slowly move to using daily. You may use morning and evening.

Dead cells make our skin dull, lifeless and rough. Removing these dead cells increases the cell renewal process and gives your skin extra shine and glow.
Scrubbing enhances the absorption capability of your skin and improves blood circulation at your skin's surface, making this a nourishing and healthful treatment.
Just as a professional facial can leave your face glowing and fresh, a body polish will leave your whole body smooth, soft, and vibrant, exposing the fresh, healthy skin below.
After a full-body polish, you'll feel energized, pampered and refreshed. It removes stress and is great for the imperfections caused by sun damage, stretch marks, blackheads and clogged pores.
Just
heard on the Wall Street Morning Report radio show that scientists in
the UK believe they have found the cure for skin cancer.
There has been a breakthrough in the research through the
development of a vaccine to treat melanoma.
Melanoma is the most common cancer among ages 15 - 34.
The vaccine attacks the tumor cells and boosts the body's
response to fighting the cancer.
"A study
of 50 patients with advanced melanoma who had been given no more than
nine months to live found that 16 per cent of them recovered completely
with the vaccine. They have been disease-free for more than four years.
Another 28 per cent saw the size of their tumours more than
halved."
Scientists expect the
vaccine to reach the marketplace within 5 years.
Here is the complete article. Let me know your responses.
I used to work in a salon owned by a mother/daughter team. Both were young and pretty. To the naked eye, their skin was smooth, tanned, beautiful - and they liked to show it off.
Both women bragged about their tans, how they spent only 9 minutes in a tanning bed and just look how deep and rich their color was! I told them that indoor tanning is no safer than outdoor tanning, and that all tanning is unhealthy.
Since the result they saw now from tanning was more important to them than any future risk of illness, they didn't care enough to listen.
What's the appeal of tanning our skin? We think it looks healthy, that tanned skin better covers our imperfections - maybe we are just too self-absorbed?
More than any other cause, sun exposure ages our skin.
My experience in working with hundreds of faces has proven to me that clear, youthful and beautiful skin is preserved by regular use of sunscreens and wearing hats and clothing for coverage when out in the sun.
My aunt is a great example. She is almost 70 years old, and has the clearest, smoothest skin I have seen in a woman her age.
Her face is nearly translucent! I asked her about how she cares for her skin and her answer was, "I don't sunbathe and I always wear a hat and sunblock." By the way, she is a resident of Florida.
On the other hand, those faces which have repeated sun exposure without proper protection show the damage as uneven skin tone with a thicker texture and more noticeable sagging and wrinkles.
If this were only about physical beauty, I believe staying out of the sun would be a must. But there is a serious health component to the proper care of your skin when in the sun.
