5 Reasons to Quit Smoking 500 334 Facercise

5 Reasons to Quit Smoking

facial exercisesIt’s always shocking when we find out that one of our clients who does facial exercises religiously is a smoker. There is no better way to expedite the signs of aging than with tobacco smoke. From smoker’s lines around the mouth to a dull complexion, the effects of smoking are severely aging. Read on for motivation to quit this nasty, aging habit.

1. A Dull Complexion

Fresh glowing skin is dependent on the delivery of oxygen-rich blood to its cells. Tobacco smoke is loaded with nicotine and carbon monoxide which slows circulation. This diminishes the supply of oxygen to skin cells and result in a dull, grey tone. Smoking also increases the appearance of blood vessels while depleting important nutrients, like vitamin C, an antioxidant that brightens skin.

2. Under Eye Issues

Research shows that smokers experience diminished sleep quality while tobacco unleashes oxidative stress on the skin. This combination causes dark circles, puffy eyes and unsightly bags.

3. Yellow Teeth

Yellow teeth is a dead giveaway of a smoking habit. Nicotine stains teeth an unsightly yellow or brown, raises the risk of gum disease and can lead to tooth loss.

4. Smoker’s Lines

Smoking’s repetitive movements cause vertical lip lines, aka “Smoker’s Lines,” that are very difficult to get rid of.

5. Deep Wrinkles

Smoking slows circulation and constricts the blood vessels which cuts off skin’s oxygen supply. This dehydrates skin and breaks down collagen, leading to a deepening of fine lines and wrinkles and diminished elasticity.

6. General Havoc

Smoking cigarettes causes infections and skin disorders, slows down wound healing and causes premature aging. Spend the money you use to buy cigarettes to get take better care of your skin.

Quit smoking now! Keep yourself busy by doing Facercise every day instead of reaching for that pack of cigarettes. Our proprietary system of facial exercises will takes 10 years off your looks!

Why Exercise is so Important for Antiaging 500 333 Facercise

Why Exercise is so Important for Antiaging

facial exercisesI’m not just a proponent of doing facial exercises for antiaging—I firmly believe that working out your entire body is essential for looking and feeling your very best. It helps you maintain a healthy weight, increases muscle tone, promotes healthy bones and boosts endorphins, which enhances your mood and overall well-being.

Exercise vs. Medicine

Exercise can help you manage pain and medical conditions just as well as prescription medicines can. A Harvard study conducted in 2013 showed that regular exercise was as effective, if not more, than taking prescription drugs for an array of diseases and chronic illnesses including diabetes, strokes and cardiovascular disease. It has also been shown to lower the risk of arthritis and slow down cognitive impairment.

Increased Blood Flow

When it comes to beauty, the benefits of exercise are incredible. You know how you have that awesome glow after a workout? It’s because exercise boosts your circulation so that your skin cells receive nourishment in the form of oxygen, minerals and vitamins. In addition, this stimulates the production of collagen, which is responsible for the firmness and elasticity of your skin. Increased blood flow and circulation also stimulates hair follicles which promotes growth and gives us healthier hair.

Detoxification

Another excellent benefit of regular exercise is that it helps our bodies detox naturally through sweat. Sweating is one of our body’s methods of eliminating toxins and cleaning out our pores. Exercise also stimulates the lymphatic system, the network of organs and tissues in our body that transports waste and toxins.

Less Stress

Stress and anxiety wreak havoc on both our skin and waistline by producing the stress hormone cortisol. Having too much cortisol results in belly fat and aging skin. Exercise produces endorphins that combat the effects of cortisol and makes us happier in general.

5 Benefits of Healthy Fats 500 500 Facercise

5 Benefits of Healthy Fats

Omega-3 fatty acids are a game changer for beauty, anti-aging and overall health. We’ve always been an advocate of polyunsaturated fatty acids for the hydration they provide in addition to a host of other benefits. A diet with a good balance of antioxidants and healthy fats is the perfect complement to a consistent Facercise regimen.

Our bodies can’t produce these essential fatty acids naturally, so it’s essential to add them to your diet. Some excellent sources include avocado, eggs, coconuts, tuna, mackerel, sardines, herring, dark chocolate and extra virgin olive oil. Nuts like walnuts, almonds, Brazil nuts and macadamia nuts are also great sources of healthy fats.

Read on for five benefits of incorporating omega-3 fatty acids into your diet.

1. A Good Mood

Much research shows that a diet rich in healthy fats can boost your mood and reduce stress levels. Less stress = less wrinkles!

2. A Youthful Glow

Healthy fats reduce inflammation to promote clearer skin and less breakouts. They also moisturize the skin from the inside out, which helps impart a healthy glow. Omega-3 fatty acids are responsible for cellular membrane health—this membrane is important since it shields your skin from scavengers like free radicals and environmental stressors. Healthy fats also promote healthy levels of collagen and elastin, the proteins responsible for skin’s firmness and elasticity.

3. Soft, Shiny Hair

Polyunsaturated fatty acids hydrate hair follicles to help it grow stronger and fuller while imparting a beautiful shine.

4. Maximized Function

Healthy fats help your systems function optimally. A diet that incorporates polyunsaturated fatty acids improves digestion, muscle activity, brain function, circulation, cellular growth and fertility.

5. Heart Health

Omega-3s have been shown to promote a healthy cardiovascular health. Many studies also show that they can help decrease the risk of various illnesses and diseases.

Incorporate healthy fats to boost firmness and impart a healthy glow while lowering bad cholesterol and boosting Facercise results.

Apples also help with weight loss since they have a high fiber content that promotes feelings of fullness and a low glycemic index, which helps lower blood sugar and stave off cravings.

3. Brussels sprouts

These green leafy vegetables boost your skin’s elasticity with a high content of vitamin C, which is essential for collagen production. Collagen helps keep skin fir and, smooth, while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Brussel sprouts are also rich in copper, vitamins A and K, as well as several flavonoid compounds with strong anti-inflammatory properties such as copper.

4. Beets

This delicious root vegetable has shown to reverse dull skin by stimulating the lymphatic system, which removes toxins from our cells. These vibrant veggies also boosts your bloodstream’s oxygen transporting ability, which helps brighten your skin and create a youthful glow. Beets contain powerful antioxidants including betalains and vitamin C, which help fight free radical damage, reducing signs of aging like wrinkles, fine lines, and dullness.

5. Cranberries

This tangy seasonal favorite packs a serious antioxidant and anti-inflammatory punch that helps fight free radical damage. Their high concentration of phytonutrients helps detoxify the skin and is particularly helpful for acne-prone and oily skin. The anti-inflammatory properties in cranberries also help reduce redness and soothe itchy, irritated skin.

Regular consumption of these delicious fall foods can lead to more youthful-looking skin, especially when done in conjunction with daily facial exercises.
