2. Exfoliation

Dead skin cells accumulate over time, dulling our skin, clogging pores and paving the way for sun spots and hyperpigmentation. Face Lift to Go provides gentle yet powerful exfoliation to help shed dead skin cells and unclog pores. The smoother skin it leaves in its wake absorbs products better and is less prone to breakouts.

5. No Side Effects

While Face Lift to Go exfoliates similarly to a gentle chemical peel, there are no associated risks or side effects. There is no redness, flakiness or downtime when you use it. You can absolutely use it the day of a big event—even your wedding! Each treatment reveals softer, smoother skin and a brighter complexion. It’s the perfect non-invasive solution to dull, sagging skin.

Apply Face Lift to Go every 10 to 12 days for optimum results.

1. Vitamin C Boosts Collagen Production

Collagen is a naturally occurring protein that binds our cells together. It provides structure and is responsible for the elasticity and plumpness of our skin. As we age, its natural production slows down and results in fine lines and wrinkles. Using a topical vitamin C serum stimulates collagen production to combat wrinkles, impart radiance and improve texture.

5. Vitamin C Promotes Healing

Dermatologists often recommend the use of topical vitamin C to enhance cosmetic treatments and expedite healing. With its powerful anti-inflammatory properties, vitamin C can help heal wounds, scars and other conditions.

There is no better time than now to adopt about our revolutionary facial exercises and advanced skin care products like Vitamin C Complex serum!

5 Ways to Fight Sugar-Related Aging

The three-pronged approach I recommend for fighting the signs of aging includes using good products, daily facial exercises and following a healthy diet. What always surprises me is that many people don’t take diet into consideration. Diet definitely impacts your skin—especially when you eat too much sugar and simple carbs. When there is too much sugar in your bloodstream, a nasty process called glycation occurs. Glycation causes the sugars you consume to produce advanced glycation end products (AGEs).

The high blood sugar levels that set the stage for AGEs causes our bodies and skin to age faster. The formation of AGEs leads to the breakdown of collagen and elastin, the essential protein fibers that gives our skin its firmness and elasticity. AGEs also cause age spots and hyperpigmentation, dull skin tone, inflammation, fine lines, wrinkles, and the thickening and sagging of skin. Exposure to ultraviolet rays expedites glycation, further increasing the appearance of the signs of aging.

Below are some five ways to combat AGEs and boost the results of daily facial exercises.

1. Cut Down on Sugar

Skip sugary sweets and simple carbs, which convert to sugar in your bloodstream, as much as possible. Load up on lean protein and fiber to help fill you up so you don’t have hunger pangs. If you have a sweet tooth, opt for a piece of fruit to curb that evil craving.

2. Attain and Maintain a Healthy Weight

Studies show that weight gain can contribute to the formation AGEs. Strive to reach and maintain a healthy weight for your size.

3. Wear Sunscreen

Since exposure to the sun’s rays bolsters the formation of AGEs, wear sunscreen every single day. Wear it on your face, neck, décolletage, arms, legs, hands—basically anywhere that is at risk for sun exposure.

4. Do Strength or Resistance Training

One of the pitfalls of aging is that we naturally lose muscle mass, which can boost blood sugar levels and lead to more AGEs formation. Strength and resistance training is awesome because it helps your rebuild muscles. The greater your lean muscle mass, the more glucose your muscles consume.

5. Limit Alcohol Consumption

Alcohol can convert to sugar in your body and also boosts glycation. Limit your alcohol intake and avoid sugar-laden mixers altogether.

These tips combined with a daily Facercise practice will improve your skin health and help you look and feel younger!

For some reason, many people resist applying sunscreen every day. This is shocking, as sunscreen is one of the most important anti-aging items in your arsenal. It’s the one product people definitely regret not using enough of over time. When there are products like my Protective Sunblock SPF 30 available that don’t turn your skin white or chalky, there really is no excuse—it should simply be a critical component of your anti-aging skin care regimen.

Despite this, a question I often hear is, “Do I really need sunscreen when I’m wearing a hat?”

The answer is simple: absolutely.

While many want to believe that wearing a giant sun hat will do the job, keep in mind what you learned in science class back in the day. Harmful UV rays bounce off surfaces, such as pavement and walls, and guess where they go? Upward. They easily bounce into the shade provided by your hat, baseball cap or even the giant umbrella you post by your chair or beach towel, and hit your skin.

This means that if you are outside on a sunny day, your skin is bound to be exposed to these dangerous UV rays. Your skin isn’t safe, even if you and your hat are tucked under an awning with a six-foot overhang. Worse yet, if you are at the edge of a shaded area, the reflected exposure will be even greater. If you’re on the water, it’s going to reflect stronger than ever.

The bottom line is—you must wear sunscreen every single day. Rain or shine, winter or summer, hat or visor.

Be strategic—if you invest your time and energy into good skincare products and doing your Facercises, why skip sunblock? Especially when you can use my Protective Sunblock SPF 30, which that melts into your skin and isn’t greasy. Don’t forget to also apply it to your hands, neck and décolleté.

If you’re ready to look and feel your very best, it’s time to adopt a regiment of our anti-aging facial exercises and advanced skincare regimens.

2. Incorporate Vitamin C

Now is an ideal time to add vitamin C into your routine, both with supplements and skin care products. Brighten up your skin with a rich vitamin C serum such as our Vitamin C Complex serum. It helps remove sun spots and hyperpigmentation that developed during the summer months and prevents future damage. Apply it to your face, neck, décolletage, and hands every morning.

6. Protect Your Lips

Often times, we experience dry, chapped lips due to colder weather. Protect your skin with a hydrating lip balm with SPF during the day—it serves as an excellent base for your lipstick or lip gloss. At night, apply vitamin E oil to rehydrate and combat free radical damage.

There is no better time than the Fall to try our life-changing system of facial exercises and advanced skin care products.
