The Inside Scoop on Supplements
I have been giving you information about how to deal with the aging of your skin, most particularly your face. But did you know that you can fight aging from the inside out?
As an Esthetician, I specialize in skincare of the face – the first thing other people notice when they meet you. Want to know what gets noticed second?
Want to know the worst type of packaging for anti-aging ingredients? Jars! This is because ingredients such as vitamins C and A, which are antioxidants, are very unstable when exposed to oxygen and light. The same goes for enzymes such as COQ10 and those derived from pumpkin, papaya, and many others.
Certainly, we have all heard about exfoliating, right? It’s that process we should be incorporating into our skin care regime that keeps the skin on our faces, and our bodies, fresh and glowing. In my experience as a facialist, I found that most clients skipped this essential step.

Been spending time in the sun? Like to get out when the weather is warm? Do you still spend ample time outdoors even when summer is over?
Ever thought about HOW enjoying the sun, at home or on vacation, can affect how you AGE?

Ever wonder how you should be layering your skin care products? It is important as some products are water soluble and others contain oils and seal themselves into the skin. Some products penetrate the skin to a greater degree than others. Here’s a quick run down on the best way to proceed:
Maybe you already have an idea about the secret, but for those of you who don’t, it’s pure magic. No kidding! Nothing else can give you the result that this anti-aging secret does without shots, pain or invasive procedure.
Here I am again with more skin care info for you! Today, I want to talk about Elastin. And no, it’s not the stuff that keeps your swimsuit snug on your hips!But it does have a similar property. Elastin has ’snap back’ to it, like your swimsuit, or like a rubber band. Elastin keeps the skin tight. Elastin keeps the skin flexible. If there is enough elastin in your skin it will retain and return to it’s shape after being pulled or stretched.
I have some news for you, ladies. The other day a friend showed me a new moisturizer she had just spent a fortune on. She was so happy about it and wanted my opinion….so I looked at the ingredient list. And, I am sorry to say, I had to tell her that this collagen boosting promise the product was claiming was completely false! The product contained nothing that would actually help her skin to regain lost collagen. She had merely purchased an expensive moisturizer with no real anti-aging benefits!
The search for the fountain of youth is never ending. Unfortunately, our flow of expendable cash for the quest is not…at least mine isn’t. I do believe in quality, however. Skimping on skin care and anti-aging is not an option for me as I care a great deal about my body. Having said that, I don’t mean that I will spend food money on products or services either. There is a balance that must come when investing in your health and beauty.
