SKIN TIP 101 "WHEN YOUR SKIN CELLS GET YOUNGER - YOU'LL LOOK YOUNGER!"

 It's always been my Motto to help Women & Men " LOOK GREAT - FEEL GREAT!" It's OK to want to Look & Feel Younger. To do that, here's ONE important thing you want your Skin Care product to do : Slow down the Shortening of your Telomeres! Did you know they get shorter every time your Cells divide? The shorter your Telomere - the Older Looking YOU become! What's a Girl ( or Guy to do?) Make sure you're using a Night Cream that has the right Ingredients to Slow that Shortening Process down. More about that in the next SKIN TIP 101!

SKIN TIP 101 "SKIN CARE INGREDIENTS THAT YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY AVOID!"

# 1- MINERAL OIL! I have seen this in countless Skin Care products. This is a common Ingredient because it's cheap. Mineral Oil may also appear on the label as Paraffin Wax or Petrolatum. It Clogs your Pores , & may even cause Acne & Irritations! Ooooooh, watch out for the Mineral Oil..... better get RID of & REPLACE these products ASAP!

SKIN TIP 101- " DETOXIFY YOUR SKIN!"

You know that your Skin is a Living & Breathing Organ that absorbs any substance in its Environment. This sounds good if you’re caring for your Skin with Natural ingredients, Eating Fresh Foods, & Drinking plenty of Water. Even with your all that, it’s still probable that your Skin has already absorbed thousands of Toxic Chemicals as a result of Environmental Pollution. An Easy Solution? Use a Natural Clay Mask. Put it all over your Face- Leave it on for 20 Minutes if you're Dry - 30 if you're Oily. OK, that helped you & the Environment

SKIN TIP 101 " WANT TO WORK ON ANTI-AGING WHILE YOU SLEEP? "

 Then you need to WAKE UP your Skin's Cells! As we get Older, our Skin Cells get Lazier & don't Regenerate as quickly! You've got to use a product that will reach down into the Dermis & WAKE UP those lazy Cells One that will also help Slough off Dead Skin Cells - Activate those Cells with a Glycolic product.

SKIN TIP 101 "THOSE SPOTS DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOUR LIVER!"

 Even though they are sometimes referred to as "Liver Spots", they're actually Melasma, & are commonly known as "Sun Spots" because they are caused by Unprotected Sun Exposure. Unprotected exposure leads to increased Melanin production. Most times the Pigmentation is superficial, & can be improved, but maybe not completely erased. Skin lightening products like Glycolic Acid or Tretinoin ( Tretinoin needs a prescription; Glycolic doesn't) The Best Prescription? Prevention! Use that Sunscreen that has UVA/UVB protection! ANYTIME the Sun shines .... Spring, Summer, Fall or Winter! 'Tis the Season!
