7 Anti-Inflammatory Foods

Facial exercisesThe buzz these days is all about an anti-inflammatory diet—and for good reason. Following an anti-inflammatory diet is an excellent way to improve your overall health and combat the signs of aging. Many doctors tout this type of diet because it can reduce blood triglycerides, decrease the risk of high blood pressure and prevent cardiovascular disease. Anti-inflammatory diets have been shown to improve physical recovery time and reduce the risk of many chronic illnesses and diseases. Eating anti-inflammatory foods is also an excellent complement to a good skincare program and regimen of anti-aging facial exercises.

While there are many different anti-inflammatory diets to choose from, there are several types of food that can be found in most. Most doctors recommend avoiding processed foods and those high in refined sugars and simple carbs. Read on for a few foods that will help you fight inflammation in your body.

1. Water

Proper hydration definitely helps your body fight off inflammation and flush out the toxins. If you get bored simply drinking water, switch it up with lemon water, honey water and green tea to up your antioxidant ante.

2. Leafy Greens

Dark leafy greens such as spinach, broccoli, collard greens and kale contains high levels of dietary fiber and a rich content of vitamins and minerals that fight inflammation, such as iron, calcium and an array of phytochemicals.

3. Fatty Fish

Oily fish that are high in omega-43 fatty acids are a great choice for your health, skin and waistline. Try to eat several servings of salmon, mackerel, tuna or sardines each week.

4. Nuts

Loaded with fiber, vitamin e and some healthy fat, nuts are a great way to satiate your diet and reduce inflammation. Almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews and walnuts are all great choices.

5. Whole Grains

Swap out white bread, pasta and rice for whole-grains that are fiber-rich. They will fill you up without spiking your blood sugar levels like “white” breads and other products.

6. Peppers

Bell peppers are the perfects example of colorful veggies that increase your antioxidant consumption and reduce inflammation. They are very rich in anti-aging antioxidants like vitamin A (from beta-carotene), C, E, and B6.

7. Berries

Berries are loaded with vitamin C and antioxidants that can significantly decrease inflammation. The darker the berry, the higher the antioxidant content, but all are good choices.

5 Thanksgiving Wellness Tips 500 304 Facercise

5 Thanksgiving Wellness Tips

body sculptingA day of thanks is an incredible tradition—but don’t throw caution to the wind when it comes to eating. Research shows that overeating at Thanksgiving leads to bingeing throughout the entire holiday season. However, you don’t have to be one of the statistics. Instead of skipping exercise and body sculpting routines, make a commitment to up your game this time of year.

Here are five Thanksgiving wellness tips that will help you feel good and avoid weight gain without giving up holiday fun.

1. Start the Day Off Right

Don’t skip breakfast so you can go bigger at dinner. This is a common mistake that only leads to overeating. Skipping meals puts your body into starvation mode—this slows your metabolic rate and prompts your body to store fat. Start your day right with a healthy, protein- and fiber-rich breakfast so that you’re not starving when dinner rolls around.

2. Don’t Show Up Hungry

Don’t hit Thanksgiving dinner on an empty stomach. The idea of “saving up calories” all day only leads to overeating. It may sound counterintuitive, but have a small snack 30 minutes or an hour before eating Thanksgiving dinner. This will prevent you from overindulging.

3. Squeeze in Some Exercise

Don’t skip your workouts. Schedule exercise first thing in the morning so you make sure to get it in. This will rev your metabolism early on and give you energy for the day. If you don’t have time to hit the gym or take a class, go for a run, walk or hike.

4. Skip the Baggy Attire

Avoid wearing baggy clothes to “keep comfortable” after eating too much. Instead, wear a form-fitting outfit and make it your goal to keep everything buttoned throughout the entire dinner.

5. Stimulate Your Lymphatic System

Dry brush and do No Lipo Lipo in the morning to stimulate circulation and boost the lymphatic system. This is essential because the lymphatic system is responsible for the elimination of toxins.

These tips will help you stay on track and feel your best during the holidays and beyond!

The Magic of Dry Brushing 500 333 Facercise

The Magic of Dry Brushing

dry brushingDry brushing is one of the most natural ways to glow! It’s a simple yet effective self-care practice with incredible benefits for your skin and overall well-being. Dry brushing is an ancient technique using a Sisal Louffa Mitt and a Sisal Louffa strap to gently massage your skin in circular motions. It leaves your skin feeling silky smooth and offers benefits that make you feel and look your very best.

Here are five benefits of dry brushing and tips on how to incorporate it into your routine.

1. Dry Brushing Boosts the Lymphatic System

Dry brushing stimulates the lymphatic system, an important part of the body’s immune system responsible for removing toxins and waste. It acts as a drainage network, transporting lymph fluid throughout the body. Unlike the circulatory system, the lymphatic system does not have a pump (like the heart) and relies on body movements and muscle contractions to function efficiently. Dry brushing boosts lymphatic drainage by promoting the flow of lymph fluid. This helps your body detoxify naturally, boosting your immune system and improving your overall health. Regular dry brushing also helps reduce swelling, increase circulation, and enhances detoxification. PRO TIP: Start at your feet and brush upwards towards your heart in long, sweeping motions. Focus on areas where lymph nodes are concentrated, such as the armpits and groin, to optimize lymphatic drainage.

2. Exfoliates Dead Skin Cells

Exfoliation is key to maintaining healthy, glowing skin. Dry brushing helps remove dead skin cells, revealing fresher, smoother skin underneath. Regular exfoliation prevents clogged pores, reduces ingrown hairs, and improves skin texture. PRO TIP: Use gentle pressure and avoid scrubbing too hard to prevent skin irritation. Dry brush before showering to wash away exfoliated skin cells and follow up with a hydrating moisturizer.

3. Dry Brushing Improves Circulation

Dry brushing increases blood flow and circulation, which can help your skin look more vibrant and youthful. Enhanced circulation delivers more oxygen and nutrients to the skin, promoting cell regeneration and healing. PRO TIP: Incorporate dry brushing into your morning routine to energize your body and wake up your senses. The invigorating effect can be a great way to start your day feeling refreshed and revitalized.

4. Boosts Mood and Reduces Stress

The gentle, repetitive motion of dry brushing has a calming effect on the mind and body, helping to reduce stress and boost your mood. Taking a few minutes each day to focus on self-care can improve mental clarity and promote a sense of well-being. PRO TIP: Create a relaxing environment for your dry brushing routine by playing soothing music or lighting a scented candle. This can turn the experience into a mindful practice that helps you unwind and de-stress.

5. Supports Weight Loss and Reduces the Appearance of Cellulite

Dry brushing is the perfect complement to No Lipo Lipo and a healthy diet. The improved circulation and lymphatic drainage helps reduce water retention and can temporarily minimize the appearance of cellulite. Dry brushing supports your weight loss journey when coupled with a balanced diet, regular exercise, and the No Lipo Lipo body sculpting technique. PRO TIP: For optimal results, incorporate dry brushing into a holistic wellness routine that includes a nutritious diet, regular exercise, and proper hydration. Consistency is key to seeing lasting benefits.

Dry brushing is a simple and effective way to enhance your skin’s health and boost your overall well-being. It offers body sculpting and a wide range of other benefits that can leave you feeling rejuvenated and radiant. Give it a try to reveal the natural glow that comes from this ancient self-care practice!

Why Face Lift to Go Rocks 500 333 Facercise

Why Face Lift to Go Rocks

facial exercisesWhether you need to get red carpet ready, prepare for your wedding, stun at a special event or just maintain your good looks, you can’t go wrong with Face Lift to Go. This mask is a favorite among my clients and one of our best sellers for good reason—it firms, lifts, detoxes and gives your skin that delicious youthful glow.

Exfoliation is Essential

Regular exfoliation is absolutely essential for a smooth, glowing complexion.  As we age, the natural process slows down, causing dead cells to accumulate and make skin look dull and uneven. In addition, exfoliated skin absorbs products better and looks smoother. Face Lift to Go is an all-in-one enzyme treatment mask that offers an effective exfoliation treatment that rivals the results of a chemical peel, without the redness, flakiness and downtime. It gently exfoliates and removes dead skin cells so you get the beautiful skin tone and color you’re striving for. Regular use also repairs cells, draws out toxins and firms the dermis.

Enzymes Make a Difference

Face Lift to Go’s effectiveness is primarily due to its enzyme content. Enzymes speed up the rate of chemical reactions safely and effectively but are not consumed during the reaction. The enzymes in this mask break down the keratin protein located in the upper dermis, where dead skin cells accumulate. The process is gentler than chemical peels, microdermabrasion and harsh scrubs, yet yields very similar results.

Use this game changing mask every 7 to 10 days for optimum results. This treatment is so safe it can be used the day of your special event, yet effective enough to really see and feel a marked difference. Take a break and pamper yourself with our to-die-for Face Lift to Go treatment.

What Dermatologists Recommend for Younger Looking Skin 500 309 Facercise

What Dermatologists Recommend for Younger Looking Skin

facial exercisesOnce we hit a certain age, there are staple products to use and regimens to follow to maintain a beautiful appearance. Below is a list that some of the top dermatologists in the world recommend that we should all start by age 40. We say it’s never too early to start fighting the signs of aging—especially with natural solutions like facial exercises—so start them now, whatever your age!

Always Wear Sunscreen

Most dermatologists claim that if they were stuck on a desert island and could only have one product, it would be sunscreen! Since sun damage is the culprit behind everything from hyperpigmentation and melasma to wrinkles and freckles, sunscreen is essential, rain or shine. Apply one with an SPF of 30 or more, like our Protective Sunblock, and re-apply throughout the day.

Treat Your Neck and Decollete

One of the most neglected areas for women of all ages is the neck and decollete. This region can be a dead giveaway for lack of care. Give these areas the same attention you give your face, including moisturizer and sunscreen.

Incorporate Antioxidants

Dermatologists claim that antioxidants are a must-have once you hit 40. Incorporate them into your diet and product regimen to enjoy their wide-ranging benefits. The antioxidants found in both food and certain products help combat free radical damage, promote collagen production, decrease inflammation, and reduce the signs of photoaging.

Use Retinol

Research shows that products that contain retinoids, like our Luxe Retinol Serum, provide next level exfoliation while restoring volume and elasticity. Retinol also helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by increasing collagen production and slowing its breakdown. This vitamin A derivative unclogs pores, increases firmness and elasticity,reduces inflammation, and helps reduce dark spots and hyperpigmentation by slowing the production of melanin. 

Exercise Both Face and Body

Exercise has been proven to slow down the signs of aging and boost overall health. It improves circulation, prompting delivery of oxygen-rich blood to skin cells. Exercise also releases endorphins, which promotes a better mood and reduces stress.

Facercise

Just like exercises boosts circulation, so does Facercise. Daily facial exercises boost collagen to maintain elasticity, stimulate the lymphatic system, define facial contours and boost cellular regeneration.
