5 Tips for Using Luxe Retinol

luxe retinolRetinol is a powerful product that everyone should have in their anti-aging arsenal. Our Luxe Retinol is one of our best-sellers due to the incredible results it yields. When you use it in conjunction with facial exercises, your skin will look five years younger in a matter of weeks.

Retinol is a topical vitamin A derivative that slows down the signs of aging like nothing else. It speeds up cell turnover, exfoliates dead skin and boosts collagen production. The result is a brighter complexion, firmer skin and the reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Retinol also diminishes hyperpigmentation, unclogs pores and diminishes breakouts.

Here are tips for using retinol to maximize its effectiveness:

1. Use a Gentle Product

Incorporate retinol into your regimen with a gentle product like my Luxe Retinol. Prescription products can be too harsh—they can exacerbate the skin and cause redness or rosacea.

2. Start Slowly

When you first begin using retinol, start by using it every other night for the first week. On the second week, use it two consecutive nights and then skip the third. On the third week, your skin should be ready for nightly use.

3. Let Skin Dry Before Applying

Water can counteract the effectiveness of retinol and render it useless. Be sure to wait approximately 20 minutes after washing your skin to apply retinol products.

4. Wear Sunscreen

I shouldn’t even have to mention this, since you all should be using sunscreen EVERY SINGLE DAY! Retinol makes your skin more sensitive to the sun’s dangerous UV rays and sunlight renders it ineffective. Be sure to protect your skin and your investment by applying sunscreen daily—and re-applying it throughout the day.

5. Use it All Over

Retinol can be used all over the body to keep skin looking fresh and supple. Apply it to your hands to attack sun spots and creases, to your arms and legs to combat crepey skin and to your stomach to firm and tighten.

With daily use of my Luxe Retinol, you will see extraordinary results—and quickly when you combine with my powerful facial exercises and advanced skincare products.

5 Reasons to Sleep on Your Back 500 333 Facercise

5 Reasons to Sleep on Your Back

facial exercisesBeauty sleep is everything! It’s essential for restoration and rejuvenation and helps you look and feel energetic and youthful. A good night’s sleep is the perfect complement to a consistent regiment of facial exercises and anti-aging skincare. To make the most of sleep, it’s extremely important to sleep on your back. Across the board, doctors and sleep experts agree that it’s the healthiest position to sleep in.

Here are five reasons why you should retrain yourself if you’ve been sleeping in other positions.

1. Sleeping on Your Back Protects Your Face

Sleeping on your back helps protect your facial skin against the formation of deep lines and creases. Sleeping with your face in the air is healthier overall and helps you avoid the lines that form when your face is smashed against a pillow. We’ve all seen those sleep lines when we wake up and prayed they would disappear. The reality is, if you continue sleeping in the wrong position, over time, those lines will remain.

2. It Protects Your Decollete

As with your face, sleeping on your side or stomach causes deep creases in your decollete that are very difficult to get rid of.

3. It Maintains Perky Breasts

Sleeping on your back ensures that you don’t put too much pressure on your breasts, which leads to sagging over time. It’s not very comfortable either!

4.  It Provides Spine Support

When you sleep on your back, your spine can maintain neutral position and you don’t force your back and neck into any contortions. In addition, sleeping on your back allows your mattress to provide support for your spine.

5. Sleeping on Your Back Fights Acid Reflux

When you sleep with your head facing upwards and elevated, your stomach will be lower than your esophagus. In this position, food and acid won’t be able to come back up.

6 Fall Foods for Anti-Aging 500 333 Facercise

6 Fall Foods for Anti-Aging

face exercisesThe sunny days of summer are behind us, which means the anti-aging foods of fall are here! It’s an excellent time to work on better skin since we’re outdoors less and there is so much antioxidant-rich food to choose from. So hit the grocery store, book a skincare treatment and schedule time for face exercises!

Here are some of the top anti-aging foods of fall.

1. Pumpkin

Pumpkin helps fight wrinkles while giving you a healthy glow. It’s packed with vitamin C, which boosts collagen production and softens the skin. Pumpkin is also one of the best sources of vitamin A, which helps repair sun damage such as wrinkles and hyperpigmentation.

2. Pumpkin Seeds

These delicious seeds are rich in the essential fatty acids that help skin stay plump and hydrated. They’re also an excellent source of zinc, which promotes skin renewal and stimulates collage production.

3. Yams

Yams contain diosgenin, a natural steroid derived from plants that yields amazing anti-aging benefits. Their vitamin A and C content combats free radical damage and is anti-inflammatory. Yams are also good for your waistline due to their high fiber content, which fills you up and promotes healthy digestion. Their vitamin A content is so high that you can use them topically to help remove dark circles and reduce crow’s feet.

4. Beets

This colorful root veggie stimulates the lymphatic system, which flushes and detoxes our system. This helps deliver oxygen to your cells, resulting in brighter, glowing skin.

5. Pomegranate

This juicy fruit has long been considered a superfood due to its high levels of anti-aging plant compounds that fight wrinkles and sagging. Pomegranates contain potent antioxidant polyphenols that protect skin from sun and oxidative damage. Eating this delicious fruit ultimately improves skin texture, boosts elasticity and reduces inflammation. Their high water content also helps keep skin hydrated.

6. Brussels Sprouts

These dark green leafy veggies are loaded with vitamin C and other antioxidants that boost collagen production to improve elasticity and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. They’re also a remarkable source of glucosinolates, which helps detoxify our system.

4 Tips for Boosting Collagen 500 390 Facercise

4 Tips for Boosting Collagen

facial exercisesOne of the great benefits of facial exercises is that they boost collagen production. Collagen is an insoluble, fibrous protein found in our skin, muscles, bones and tendons. It’s the most abundant protein in our bodies and provides elasticity, structural support and cellular regeneration. Collagen literally holds the body together like a glue.

As we age, collagen production slows down. This results in sagging skin, wrinkles and the breakdown of cartilage in your joints. The good news is, there are ways to boost collagen production that result in firmer, smoother skin, healthier joints, stronger teeth and nails, and a reduction in cellulite and stretch marks.

Here are four excellent ways to boost collagen production and improve your overall health.

1. Boost Vitamin C Consumption

Vitamin C is renowned for boosting immunity, but it is also essential to the formation of skin cells. Studies conducted by Tulane University found that it increases collagen production and many other studies show that individuals who consume high quantities of vitamin C develop fewer wrinkles than those who don’t. Apply it topically with Vitamin C Complex Serum and eat vitamin C-rich produce such as oranges, lemons, tomatoes, red peppers, berries, kiwi and green leafy vegetables. You can also take a daily supplement, such as Ester-C, which is a gentler version of the vitamin.

2. Eat More Amino Acids and Lean Protein

Eggs, poultry and fish are excellent sources of both amino acids and lean protein that boost collagen production. Other good sources include bone broth and collagen powders.

3. Protect Your Skin From the Sun

The sun’s damaging rays show up as photodamage while depleting collagen under the surface. The result is unsightly, long-term damage that is difficult to repair. Wear sunscreen religiously every time you step outside—even if you’re just running to the store for five minutes. Apply it to your face, neck, hands, décolletage and anywhere else you want to have nice skin. In addition, eat foods that are rich in lycopene, which acts as a natural sunblock. Good lycopene sources include watermelon, tomatoes, papaya, grapefruit, beets and bell peppers.

4. Do Your Daily Facial Exercises

Facercising on a daily basis improves circulation and collagen production. It also prevents muscle atrophy, which results in sagging skin, fine lines and wrinkles.

5 Ways to Turn Back the Clock 500 333 Facercise

5 Ways to Turn Back the Clock

facial exercisesSkip the fillers! Here are some excellent ways to complement your facial exercises program so that you can look younger and more beautiful, while turning back the clock.

1. Quit Using Straws

When you consistently purse your lips to sip through a straw, you’re causing wrinkles to form around your mouth. Drink straight from a cup or bottle to fend off those unsightly lines.

2. Avoid Smoking

This is the ultimate rule when it comes to better skin and slower aging. Smoking causes wrinkles around the lips and mouth, as well as crow’s feet from squinting to avoid getting smoke in your eyes. It also clogs pores and slows down cellular repair. Let’s not forget those old-looking, yellow teeth is causes.

3. Get Tinted Windows

Research shows that commuters develop the signs of aging more quickly on the left side of their face. Our driver’s side gets much more exposure to the sun, even when the window is closed. Tint the windows of your car to help prevent this kind of damage.

4. Use a Retinol Product

Retinol is critical for fighting the signs of aging, including hyperpigmentation, age spots, wrinkles and fine lines. It exfoliates dead skin cells to reveal fresher looking skin and impart a healthy glow. Try my Luxe Retinol serum for gentle but effective results.

5. Eat an Antioxidant-Rich Diet

Antioxidants help you fight the signs of aging and boost your overall health. They fight the inflammation that causes skin damage, pain and the development of chronic illnesses and diseases. Some excellent sources include grapes, dark green vegetables, artichokes, kidney beans, pecans, sweet potatoes, squash, apples, prunes, black plums, green tea and dark chocolate. Berries are also great sources—the darker the color, the higher the antioxidant content. Try everything from cranberries, goji berries and strawberries to blackberries, blueberries and raspberries.
