5 Ways to Get Rid of Under-Eye Bags

facial exercisesIf eyes are the windows to our soul, the last thing we want are bags underneath them and puffiness surrounding them. The thin, delicate skin around the eye area is one of the first places to show the signs of aging. While puffiness is considered a temporary condition, it stretches the delicate tissues and leads to loose, sagging skin, aka “bags.” Under-eye bags can be difficult, if not impossible, to get rid of without surgery. The good news is, if you do your facial exercises regularly and follow the tips below, you can stave off puffiness and help your eyes look fresh and youthful.

1. Sleep Right

Get adequate sleep every night. Most people need between seven and nine hours but do what works for you. The most important thing is to try and keep to a routine. Elevate your head with two pillows while you sleep to promote proper drainage. This will also minimize fluid retention that causes the puffiness you see when you wake up. Use silk or satin pillowcases to avoid fabric pulling on your skin when you move during sleep.

2. Shower in the Morning

Morning showers help decrease morning puffiness. When shower water hits your face, its force stimulates fluids surrounding the eyes and moves them out of the area. The water’s heat also boosts the lymphatic vessels to help eliminate toxins. If you shower at night, you’ll miss out on these benefits.

3. Treat Allergies

Allergies are a major cause of puffiness and bags under the eyes. They irritate the delicate under-eye tissue, resulting in redness, puffiness and swelling. This also makes you rub and tug at the skin. See a doctor to get your allergies under control and follow the protocol they recommend religiously.

4. Open Your Eyes

The Eye Opener is one of the most popular facial exercises in the Facercise system. Daily practice boosts circulation and stimulates the lymphatic system. This eliminates fluids in the eye area and firms the skin, which helps prevent the sagging that leads to bags.

5. Freeze Your Face

A great way to reduce puffy eyes is to cover them with a cold compress, cold spoons or a bag of frozen peas. Anything cold constricts the blood vessels, which prevents fluid collection in the area.

3 Reasons to Apply a Face Mask Right Now 500 333 Facercise

3 Reasons to Apply a Face Mask Right Now

face lift to goMasking may be trending right now, but it’s a strategy we’ve always promoted as a complement to our facial exercises and advanced skin care products. It helps your other products absorb better and work more efficiently so that you maximize your overall benefits. Masks also give you immediate results in their respective areas of specialty. For example, if you use my Face Lift to Go mask, you’ll see toning, firming and a healthy glow with your first use.

Here are three reasons to start masking now.

1. Masks Go Deep

Applying masks takes cleansing to another level by removing excess dirt and impurities that can sometimes linger on and underneath the skin’s surface. Masks can prevent acne and breakouts by drawing out impurities and unclogging pores. A good mask like my Face Lift to Go eliminates the dead skin cells that build up on the skin, making it look dull and clogging pores. This immediately leads to brighter looking skin and a healthy, youthful glow.

2. Masks Boost Your Normal Skin Care Routine

Applying masks on a regular basis makes the rest of your skin care products work better and boosts the results of facial exercises. Deep cleansing and exfoliating masks like Face Lift to Go improves absorption of the products you use, making them work faster and better. Masks can also stimulate circulation, causing your skin’s blood vessels to expand. This results in improved skin tone and a radiant glow.

3. Therapeutic Effects

One of the benefits of masking is that it gives you a chance to relax and be present. Set some time aside and turn your mask into a home spa experience. Light candles, run a hot bath with Epsom salts, play some relaxing music and simply indulge while you treat your skin. If time is short, at least lie down for a few minutes while the mask does its magic.

Introduce a mask like Face Lift to Go to your skin care regimen today!

5 Dietary Tips for Beautiful Skin 500 333 Facercise

5 Dietary Tips for Beautiful Skin

facial exercisesWhile facial exercises and skin care products keep your skin looking good from the outside, what you put inside your body can have just as much impact. It’s essential to maintain a healthy diet by eating antioxidant-rich food and avoiding certain dietary triggers. Read on for tips for perfecting your diet so you can enhance your skin care regimen and look your very best.

1. Go Organic

Choose organic meat, poultry and produce to avoid the growth hormones, steroids, pesticides and antibiotics that most traditionally grown produce contains.

2. Eat as Much Organic Produce as Possible

Produce is a fundamental part of a healthy diet. Eat colorful fruit and vegetables, especially those that contain high levels of antioxidants. For the best balance, try to fit in as much of the color spectrum as possible. Choose more vegetables than fruit, as the latter has a higher sugar content.

3. Cut Back on Dairy

Much research shows a strong correlation between dairy products and skin issues such as acne and aging. This is due to the hormones that make their way into cows’ milk. These hormones cause inflammation, cellular breakdown and increase oil production. Cut back, and when you do partake, opt for organic, hormone-free products. Products such as coconut, almond, oat and cashew milk make excellent dairy alternatives.

4. Reduce Sodium Intake

Too much sodium in your diet causes water retention, making it harder for your lymphatic system to flush away toxins. Excess sodium exacerbates acne as well, as it irritates the pores and impedes the body’s natural removal of toxins.

5. Cut Down on Sugar

Excessive sugar intake leads to hormonal shifts and increased glycation. Glycation occurs when sugars affect fats and proteins abnormally, resulting in the production of harmful molecules called “advanced glycation end products.” These evil entities cause proteins like collagen and elastin to break down and grow stiff, weak and inelastic. The result is sagging skin with more wrinkles and less glow. Avoid this by reducing sugar intake as much as possible.

Follow these tips to enhance the results of your regimen of skin care products and facial exercises. It’s okay to treat yourself every now and then, just be sure to do so in moderation.

5 Ways to Reduce Hyperpigmentation 500 333 Facercise

5 Ways to Reduce Hyperpigmentation

facial exercisesOne of the unsightly effects of sun damage is the hyperpigmentation and sun spots it often leaves behind. The sun’s ultraviolet rays and other environmental stressors like free radicals are fierce scavengers that cause discoloration! Aging can play a role as well. Fortunately, this frustrating condition is not something we have to live with. Just like how facial exercises offer a nonsurgical alternative to preventing and smoothing wrinkles, there are ways to naturally improve discoloration.

Read on for tips on fading hyperpigmentation and sun spots so you feel more comfortable in your skin.

1. Retinol Products

Retinol products are great for reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation. They exfoliate the skin and remove the discolored cells that cause sun spots and discoloration. It’s essential to find a gentle product that does this without causing redness and irritation. Regular use also boosts collagen production, which helps maintain the skin’s flexibility and elasticity.

2. Vitamin C Serum

Vitamin C is an antioxidant that helps lighten and brighten skin by decreasing the number of sun-damaged skin cells. It also imparts a healthy glow and stimulates collagen production. Our Vitamin C Complex Serum is an excellent choice for brightening your complexion while fading hyperpigmentation. For optimum results, apply to your face and all areas of your body that are exposed to the sun.

3. Eat an Antioxidant-Rich Diet

Another way to fight off hyperpigmentation is to eat a diet packed with antioxidants like vitamin C, betacarotene and lycopene. These goods combat damage from the sun and free radicals, while reducing inflammation. Many clients also take an Ester-C supplement as well.

4. Brightening Cream

Consistent use of products like our Brightening Cream helps fade hyperpigmentation. If you have sensitive skin, avoid aggressive products with hydroquinone. They can cause irritation and even darken spots that you’re trying to lighten.

5. Avoid Overheating

Avoid getting overheated. When skin temperature rises this stimulates melanin, which leads to the formulation of darkened skin cells. If you’re outside in summer heat or feel hot after working out, apply a cool compress to your skin to bring its temperature down.
