SKIN TIP 101 “OK, YOU’RE NOW IN YOUR 30’S, 40’S OR 50’S AND.....”

You’re still using the same Skin care products you did in your Teens & 20’s – Really? Maybe you had a few breakouts then & you used harsher, more Skin drying products.You may have needed them then, but your Skin is different now! You’re probably drier now. You may still have a Breakout occasionally, but if you keep using those harsh drying products, you’re actually causing a Dead Skin build up which will keep Oil  clogged under your Skin! So guess what that means? More Breakouts! You need a gentler Cleanser now & you should be using a Moisturizer Day & Night – You may still feel like you’re in your 20’s – Congrats! Just make sure you’ve changed the products you used to Ingredients that your Skin really needs now, OK?!

SKIN TIP 101 "HOW ARE YOU LOOKING IN YOUR SUMMER SANDALS?"

 Sorry - I have to talk about it - Nail Fungus! If you've been anywhere Barefoot this Summer, you could have easily attracted it. It’s easy to pick up anywhere it's wet or damp - especially at the Pool & Gym! It's a common problem - Look for a small white or yellow Spot on your Nails - that's the beginning of it - If you see this, make sure you're Drying your Feet really well after Showering. Go to your Health Food & get Tea Tree Oil - Wash your feet & Dry them completely. Apply Tea Tree Oil directly on the Spots. Don’t put on your shoes or socks until your feet are DRY. Do this 2-3 times a day & you're on the way back to lovely nails & Sexy Feet!

SKIN TIP 101 " LET'S TALK ABOUT AN INGREDIENT YOU SHOULD BE LOOKING FOR!"

 I’ve warned you about believing Skin Care Claims that aren't true – Let’s talk about an ingredient you should be looking for! Are you using a product that has Peptides? Peptides are a group of Amino Acids that help prevent future Wrinkles because they inhibit enzymes that break down the Skin's structure so Wrinkles can form. They also motivate your Skin to produce more Collagen - If YOU want to lessen the Wrinkles you have & slow down the formation of new ones , look for an Anti-Aging Serum with Hexapeptides!

SKIN TIP 101 “SO YOU’VE HAD A CHEMICAL PEEL?!”

OK, so now what are you going to do? Let’s talk about some things you should NOT do. The reason you had that Peel was to to get rid of the Dead Dry Skin buildup, right? The Peel got rid of Dry & Damaged Skin to reveal Younger-looking Skin cells! You really don’t like it, but to do this, the Skin has to shed & that’s just no fun! But, if you start picking off the Flaky skin when it’s NOT ready to peel off can cause Redness & Scarring! So, now that you’ve done it – BE PATIENT - Give it a couple of weeks with NO picking, OK?

SKIN TIP 101 - OK – HERE’S ANOTHER THING YOU SHOULDN’T DO AFTER YOU’VE JUST HAD A CHEMICAL PEEL!

I know your Skin is feeling really Dry – but don’t over Moisturize! Your Skin is peeling – it’s even Flakey! It makes you want to put on a heavy Moisturizer to comfort your irritated Skin – but don’t do it! The purpose of a Chemical Peel is to PEEL – did you miss that in the name of the procedure? If you put on a lot of  Moisturizer to hydrate the Peeling Skin when it wants to shed off, you’re just going to prolong your Down-time of the Peel. Use your Moisturizer once a day & just let your Skin do what it wants to do, OK?!

SKIN TIP 101 “YOU’RE JUST GOING TO HAVE TO STAY AWAY FROM SMOKERS!”

Why? Well, sorry to say, but secondhand Smoke is actually more harmful to your Skin than if you Smoked yourself! It’s more concentrated – so it actually motivates Collagen destroying enzymes to work even harder to damage your Skin because the Nicotine & Carbon Monoxide levels are higher – at least twice as high! Do spend a lot of time with Smokers? Ummmmmmmmmm, I’d say ask them to Smoke only Outside, not in a room with you in it! Ooooooh, they refuse? I’d say – Make new Friends, or prepare yourself to look Older & more Wrinkled before your time! Just sayin’!
