5 Foods That Accelerate Aging 500 333 Facercise

5 Foods That Accelerate Aging

facial exercisesA healthy diet is just as important as facial exercises and good skin care. What you eat affects your skin on a cellular level, so when it’s lacking or you’re eating the wrong things, it shows up on your skin. Here are some types of food that you should avoid to look and feel your very best.

1. Sugar

Sugar-laden foods are one of the worst things you can eat if you want to combat the signs of aging. They cause those “sugar rushes” that create inflammation throughout your body. Inflammation causes the breakdown of collagen and elastin, which are responsible for your skin’s firmness and elasticity. Sugary foods can also trigger hormonal shifts, which impacts the skin negatively.

2. Simple Carbs

Refer to #1 because simple carbs convert to sugar in your system. You may want to avoid too much wheat and gluten as well. Studies show that gluten sensitivity can also cause acne, rosacea and other skin issues.

3. Salt

Too much sodium in your diet causes water retention, which makes it more difficult to flush the toxins from your body. This causes your face to get puffy and leads to bags under your eyes. Excessive salt also dehydrates the skin, which is not good at any age.

4. Dairy

The hormones found in dairy products cause inflammation and can lead to everything from acne and oily skin to fine lines and wrinkles.

5. Fried Food

Back in the day people avoided fried foods because they were thought to cause acne. While opinions differ on that concept, fried foods are definitely filled with unhealthy fats that reduce your body’s ability to fight free radical damage.

5 Amazing Benefits of Luxe Retinol Serum

retinol serumOne of the most effective anti-aging products you can get without a prescription is our Luxe Retinol Serum. Retinol is a gentle vitamin-A derivative that yields exceptional results without any of the redness or harsh drying effects that prescription versions cause. It improves skin for everyone from teenagers suffering from acne to adults with visible signs of aging. Regular use helps you look younger and more beautiful while improving skin health.

Below are five benefits of using this amazing product.

Retinol exfoliates dead skin cells to reveal fresher looking skin and stimulates cell turnover. The result is glowing skin that absorbs other skin care products more effectively. It also smooths and refines skin texture while unclogging pores and removing debris. This helps pores appear smaller and more refined.

2. Retinol Reduces Hyperpigmentation

Retinol brightens skin and diminishes hyperpigmentation and sun spots safely and effectively. It does this by helping shed darker, damaged cells to make room for healthier ones that light bounces off of more easily. Research shows that it may also block an enzyme necessary for melanin production. The result is brighter skin and a more even skin tone.

3. Collagen and Elastin Production

Retinol boosts their production of collagen and elastin, proteins responsible for healing and maintaining skin’s firmness and elasticity. This helps reduce and prevent sagginess while plumping up wrinkles and fine lines.

4. Wrinkle Reduction

Regular use of Retinol Skin Conditioner visibly improves the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. It also mitigates damage from free radicals and other environmental stressors. With consistent use, it can even help repair sun damage.

5. It Fights Acne

The exfoliation retinol promotes helps unclog pores, which improves acne. It also reduces inflammation and eliminates bacteria that leads to breakouts. Studies show that it can even improve and lighten the appearance of acne scars.

How Alcohol Damages Your Skin 400 266 Facercise

How Alcohol Damages Your Skin

facial exercisesWhen you dedicate so much time and effort doing facial exercises and following a proper skincare regimen, it only makes sense to follow a healthy lifestyle. It plays one of the most important parts in keeping skin looking young. An diet rich in antioxidants and lean protein, coupled with regular exercise, makes a huge difference in your skin and overall health.

Yet there is a common culprit that can deter all your hard work: alcohol. When it comes to alcohol consumption, moderation is key. If abstinence is not an option, then it’s important to develop guidelines for your intake. If you need some motivation for moderation, read on to learn how alcohol affects your skin.

Dehydration

Alcohol severely dehydrates your skin. Since the skin is primarily composed of water, dehydration causes it to lose that youthful plumpness we’re all striving for. It also makes fine lines and wrinkles appear more prominent and causes skin to look puffy. Worse yet—dehydration damage causes you to look older over time.

Inflammation

Alcohol causes inflammation, which results in a histamine reaction that results in redness, flushing and capillary damage. It also exacerbates rosacea.

Breakouts

Alcohol negatively affects our adrenal glands, causing adrenal fatigue. This is believed to cause hormonal breakouts. The inflammation that drinking alcohol causes also contributes to blemishes.

Nutrient Depletion

Drinking alcohol depletes important vitamins and antioxidants from your body, which blocks the delivery of oxygen to cells. It also significantly diminishes vitamin A, which is essential for cell regeneration.

Aging

The inflammation caused by excessive alcohol consumption promotes harmful free radical activity that leads to the breakdown to collagen and elastin. This results in loss of firmness and elasticity and actually causes wrinkling.

5 Reasons to Facercise 500 333 Facercise

5 Reasons to Facercise

FacerciseFacial exercises are the best way to look and feel our very best naturally. They eliminate the need to get fillers or go under the knife to maintain a youthful look. Regular practice of my Facercise program will help you achieve natural looking results that trump any surgical procedure. Plus, there are no risks, side effects or downtime associated with a facial exercises regimen.

Just like the muscles in our body start to lose elasticity as we age, so do those in our face, which results in a sagging appearance. Facial exercises firm up the muscles that support the skin so that it looks more toned and lifted. People of all ages can benefit from Facercise, whether to delay the signs of aging or to resculpt areas, such as a double chin or long nose.

Read on for the top 5 benefits of a consistent Facercise regimen.

1. Facial Exercises Stimulate Blood Circulation

This provides nutrition to the cells of the outer layers of the epidermis, resulting in improved skin tone and color. Boosting circulation can also help combat the development of fine lines and wrinkles by providing the cells and blood with more oxygen.

2. A Brighter Complexion

Exercising your face can brighten up your complexion by giving you a nice glow while improving the overall texture of your skin. By delivering more oxygen to skin cells, old damaged cells are eliminated and the epidermis is better able to absorb moisture.

3. Facercise Give You a Natural Lift

Facial exercises boost collagen and elastic production, which results in a more lifted appearance. These two essential proteins help maintain the elasticity of skin, soften the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines and smooth those sunken or sagging areas, such as droopy eyelids, saggy jowls and folds in the cheeks.

4. Detoxification

Facial exercises stimulate the lymphatic system, which helps flush the toxins, dirt and bacteria from skin and boosts your metabolism.

5. Relief From TMJ

Many studies show that facial exercises can relax the muscles that are linked to Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMJ), a disorder that causes pain and compromised movement of the joint and muscles surrounding the jaw. Exercising the facial muscles will stretch, strengthen and relax out overworked muscles and joints, resulting in decreased pain.

5 Ways to Trim Belly Fat 500 281 Facercise

5 Ways to Trim Belly Fat

body sculptingOne of the biggest concerns our body sculpting clients have is belly fat. The tummy is an area where stubborn fat can persist, even when we’re at an ideal weight. Stress causes overproduction of cortisol, which can increase hunger and contribute to unsightly weight gain—and even rolls—in the midsection. If you want to target that area specifically, the tips below will help make a real difference. Keep in mind that consistency is key!

1. Load Up on Lean Protein

Lean protein is essential for shedding belly fat and losing weight. It helps builds lean muscle mass, which causes you to burn more calories on a daily basis. It will also fill you up so you eat less overall. Some excellent sources include poultry, salmon, tuna, mackerel, eggs, quinoa and lentils.

2. Cut Back on Sugar

Refined sugar causes weight gain, belly fat and wreaks havoc on your blood sugar levels. Cut out sugars as much as possible.  Saved those baked goods for a treat once in a great while and cut out the sugar-laden juices and soda. Reduce your intake of simple carbs like white bread and pasta since they convert to sugar in your system.

3. Dry Brush Daily

Dry brushing stimulates the lymphatic system, which flushes the toxins from your body. This assists with weight loss and breaking down fat in the connective tissue. Our new Louffa Bundle for Face & Body contains all you need for both body sculpting and facial benefits.

4. Do No Lipo Lipo for Body Sculpting

No Lipo Lipo is a revolutionary body sculpting method that targets your trouble areas and breaks down fatty deposits. You can do sessions at our spa in Redondo Beach or any of our licensed locations. If you prefer to do it in the privacy and comfort of your own home, you can use the No Lipo Lipo DVD. It provides comprehensive instructions so that you can quickly and easily master your technique.

5. Exercise Regularly

Regular workouts are essential for losing belly fat and toning muscles. Consistency is key—strive to exercise several days a week for a solid duration. For best results, incorporate all three pillars of training: cardio, flexibility and strength/resistance. Find something that works for you and do it four to five days week. Increase the duration and intensity of your workouts over time.
