How To Improve Acne Scars 500 750 Facercise

How To Improve Acne Scars

facial exercisesOne of the worst things about acne is the scarring it leaves behind. These scars linger on and sometimes never go away. When our skin is inflamed, there is typically a mark left behind while the skin heals. This may go away over time, but if there is collagen damage, permanent scarring can occur in the form of keloids or depressed pores that look like an indentation. It’s a shame to let acne scars affect your appearance, especially when you do the work to look your best with facial exercises and good skincare.

Here are a few ways to reduce this unsightly condition.

Prevent Breakouts

This is probably the best way to avoid acne marks and scars. Follow an antioxidant-rich diet to reduce inflammation and avoid refined sugars and simple carbs that promote the growth of bacteria that causes acne.

Don’t Pick

We know you’ve heard this many times before, but don’t pick! It can cause permanent scarring after a breakout heals. Get a facial with a licensed, professional aesthetician if you really need extractions.

Wear Sunscreen

The sun’s powerful UV rays can darken breakout marks while they’re healing. This can make their appearance stick around longer. Wear sunscreen every single day, rain or shine to prevent this from happening.

Lighten and Brighten

Use a lightening product to fade scarring over time. There are many natural products you can find that have no side effects. One of our best-selling products is our Brightening Cream. It’s enriched with vitamin C, a powerful brightening agent with a bevy of other benefits. Our Brightening Cream is also very effective at eliminating rosacea.

Retinol Products

Retinol products are excellent for removing dark spots and keloids that acne leaves behind. Our Luxe Retinol Serum is a super effective product for this issue! It promotes cell turnover and accelerates renewal, which fades the spots and hyperpigmentation caused by acne and sun damage. Luxe Retinol serum is a best-seller because its gentle formula works without causing irritation.

In-Spa Treatments

We offer two excellent treatments at Carole Maggio Day Spa that help reduce the appearance of acne scars: microdermabrasion and stem cell facials.

Don’t wait another day! Start a regimen of facial exercises and advanced skin care products now to reduce the appearance of acne scars and to create healthy, beautiful skin.

Your Skin on Antioxidants 500 270 Facercise

Your Skin on Antioxidants

vitamin C serumAntioxidants play a critical role in fighting the signs of aging caused by free radical oxidation. Free radicals are formed by damage to the environment from toxins, pollution, tobacco and the sun. These scavengers cause permanent cell deterioration and reduce elasticity, which results in the signs of aging. The dirty work of free radicals show up in the form of fine lines and wrinkles, dullness, undereye circles and sagging skin.

The Power of Antioxidants

Antioxidants are composed of vitamins and minerals. They have the power to neutralize free radicals and help prevent and even reverse some of their damage. Antioxidants that you can consume and use topically also reduce and soothe inflammation. When skin is inflamed, the reparative process is impeded. The result is acne, sun spots, hyperpigmentation and the cellular damage that causes fine lines and wrinkles.

Vitamin C

Many fruits, vegetables and food items are rich in antioxidants and now they’re often infused into skincare products, such as our Vitamin C Complex Serum. They can be water- or lipid-soluble or both. Skincare products containing antioxidants are as essential as sunscreen to your daily regimen. They help form a barrier that protects your skin from damage from the sun’s dangerous UV rays and other environmental pollutants that cause oxidative stress. Products like Vitamin C Complex Serum prevent and even reverse the damage free radicals cause.

Vitamin C is a critical antioxidant because it can actually help prevent sunburn and photo-aging. We tell our clients to layer High Density C Serum under their sunscreen for added protection. An added benefit is that it boosts production of collagen, the protein responsible for skin’s elasticity. Regular use of vitamin C serum can fade dark spots, boost firmness and give skin a rosy glow.

Vitamin A

Vitamin A contains retinoids, which help improve the appearance of acne, wrinkles, brown spots and hyperpigmentation, while stimulating cellular turnover. Products containing vitamin A boost collagen production and slough away dead skin cells that clog pores and cause inflammation. Vitamin A also promotes wound healing and the production of new blood vessels.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is another excellent antioxidant to incorporate into your skincare regimen. It protects against sun damage, hydrates and soothes dry skin, discourages wrinkles and may help heal wounds and scars. Studies show that when vitamin C and E are used together, they provide even greater protection from UV rays and reduce the formation of sunburn cells.

Our Vitamin C Complex Serum is one of the most effective, antioxidant-rich vitamin C products on the market.

How to Defy Age While You Sleep 500 333 Facercise

How to Defy Age While You Sleep

facial exercisesSleep offers one of the best ways to look and feel younger. Proper sleep rejuvenates your entire body and maximizes the results of your skincare program and facial exercises. Our skin cells work to repair and regenerate when we sleep, so there’s no better time to boost your skin care regimen. Read my three tips for fighting the signs of aging while you sleep.

1. Optimize Your Products

Since your cells repair and regenerate at night while you sleep, your products have more time to absorb and will work better. Use a rich hydrating product like my Ultra Hyaluronic Cream or Advanced Anti-Aging Cream all over your face, neck and décolletage.  Our new Korean Skin Care products are also superb complements to facial exercises.

2. Shed the Excess

Nighttime is the deal time to apply a retinol product to shed dead skin cells and stimulate collagen production. My Luxe Retinol serum gently but effectively exfoliates those cells that clog pores and dull our skin. With nightly use, you’ll reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while imparting a youthful glow. Boost results by applying eye cream and moisturizer over the retinol to maximize absorption.

3. Address the Full Package

Don’t stop at your face—apply products to your entire body, when possible. Moisturize your neck and décolletage with a product specifically designed for that area or your face products. Several times a week, apply a rich hand cream to both your hands and feet and cover with gloves and socks for the ultimate hydrating treatment. If you can, apply retinol to your hands, arms and legs, with special attention to the often-dry elbows and knee areas. If you dry brush regularly and treat the skin all over your body, your skin will glow and appear firmer.

Proper sleep plus a regular regimen of Facercise, our proprietary system of facial exercises, and advanced skin care products, will help you have the best skin ever.

How to Drink More Water 500 333 Facercise

How to Drink More Water

facial exercisesAre you drinking enough water? If not, you run the risk of dehydration, which takes a toll on your body and your skin. When we don’t drink enough water, our organs suffer and can shut down. Since your skin is the largest organ in your body, just imagine the damage it incurs when it’s dehydrated. It becomes weaker, more sensitive and less effective as a protective barrier. Dehydration derails results from your facial exercises too—it causes skin irritation, redness, flakiness, cracking and premature aging. The plumpness, firmness and elasticity of skin diminishes and its texture becomes rough. Not a good look!

Dehydrated skin occurs when skin is composed of less than 10 percent or water. This makes drinking six to eight glasses of water per day especially vital during hot summer months. Drinking water can seem like a chore sometimes, so here are some tips to help make sure you hydrate adequately.

Wake Up & Hydrate

Make it a habit to drink a glass of water as soon as you wake up. Do this before having coffee, juice or anything else.

Carry a Water bottle

Have a water bottle with you at all times so you can sip on the go. Opt for one with measurements so you can keep track of your daily intake.

Spike Your Water

If water is too boring for you, add some flavor by steeping or infusing fresh fruit or veggies. Lemon water is an excellent choice because promotes healthy digestion, combats bloating and boosts detoxification. You can also add some excitement with berries, grapefruit, cucumber slices or mint. Take it to another level by doing combinations like watermelon-mint, cucumber-basil or strawberry-kiwi.

Infuse

Invest in an infusion bottle so you can take your flavored water on the go.

Make it Like Clockwork

Set your alarm to remind you to drink water several times throughout the day.

Make it a Ritual

Set aside a time each day for enjoying a glass of lemon or fruit-infused water. Enjoy it with an afternoon snack and make it like a healthy happy hour break.

Follow our anti-aging tips and techniques like Facercise, our proprietary system of facial exercises to look younger and more beautiful!

How to Combat the 5 Types of Wrinkles 500 281 Facercise

How to Combat the 5 Types of Wrinkles

facial exercises

Did you know that there are five different types of wrinkles? It’s true—and since not all wrinkles are the same, neither is their treatment. Just like these signs of aging are caused by multiple sources, they require different techniques for minimizing their appearance.

Read on to learn how to tackle the five different types of wrinkles.

1. Dynamic Expression Wrinkles

These babies are causes by repetitive expressions, such as smiling, frowning and laughing, which is why they’re often called “laugh lines.” They typically start out as fine lines that disappear when you stop making the expression, but over time, grow more deeply etched and become permanent. To combat: Don’t make the leap into Botox territory to make these go away. Instead, do facial exercises twice a day. In just two weeks, you’ll start to see smoother skin. Avoid overexposure to the sun and smoking—both these habits expedite the transformation from dynamic to static wrinkles.

2. Atrophic Creases

These deep parallel lines appear on the forehead and between the brows when furrowed, also known as the “Elevens.” They become more apparent with age since the collagen and elastin in our skin diminishes over time. They also worsen with fat loss, dehydrated skin and photodamage. To combat: Atrophic wrinkles can definitely be improved with a consistent Facercise practice. Limit sun exposure, wear sunscreen daily and reduce stress with healthy habits like meditation or breathwork.

3. Compression Wrinkles

Deep lines form on the face, neck and décolletage as a result of sleeping on your stomach or side. Your face and body squishes against the mattress or pillow and puts pressure on the skin. At first, compression wrinkles go away soon after you wake up. Over time, they stop disappearing and stay for the long haul. To combat: Sleep on your back. Use silk pillowcases or even a special pillow that alleviates pressure on the skin. Do facial exercises to counteract that compression!

4. Elastic Wrinkles

These tiny wrinkles on the upper lips, cheek and neck are a direct result of too much sun exposure, free radical damage and other factors that cause oxidative stress. To combat: Avoid sun exposure and wear sunscreen every day, rain or shine. Facial exercises are an excellent remedy as they boost circulation, which helps promote collagen production. Eat an antioxidant-rich diet to help combat the free radical scavengers that deplete collagen and elastin supplies.

5. Gravitation Folds

These folds are a combination of saggy skin and wrinkles that can significantly age our appearance. They are caused by the breakdown of collagen and elastin from aging and UV damage. To combat: Use a retinol product to boost collagen and exfoliate dead skin cells. Facercise consistently and eat an antioxidant-rich diet. Radio-frequency and ultrasound treatments can also help tighten and firm the skin.

Facial exercises can help you fight all five types of wrinkles! Start now, and in two weeks, you will start to look and feel better.

Why You Need to Eat a Colorful Diet 500 333 Facercise

Why You Need to Eat a Colorful Diet

facial exercisesA healthy lifestyle is essential for beautiful, youthful looking skin. While we’ve shared how to improve collagen in face with specific foods, a good general guideline to live by is to eat a colorful diet. Antioxidants are responsible for the vivid hues in many foods. This means that eating an array of produce from the color spectrum helps combat the signs of aging. It’s an excellent way to complement a daily practice of facial exercises and good skin care protocol.

Here is a breakdown of some of the benefits of each hue:

Green

Leafy greens are rich in iron, fiber, folate and vitamins A, C, E and K. While vitamin K is less common than the others in the list, it’s important—it protects against bone disease, inflammation and dark under eye circles. These greens also contain indoles, isocyanate and sulforaphane, which inhibit carcinogens and therefore may ward off various cancers. Some good choices are kale, spinach, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, broccoli, bok choy and mustard greens.

Red

Many red and pink foods combat free radical damage that causes the breakdown of collagen and elastin. They contain lycopene, a vital carotenoid that boosts heart health and protects the skin against sun damage from the inside out. It has been shown to reduce hyperpigmentation, age spots and melasma. Lycopene also benefits blood pressure, bone health and the prostate. Some excellent sources include tomatoes, red bell peppers, pink grapefruit, mangoes, papaya and guava. These choices are also very high in vitamin C, which boosts collagen production and immunity.

Orange

Orange-colored foods like pumpkin, squash, sweet potatoes, yams, carrots, apricots, cantaloupe and mangoes contain alpha- and beta-carotene, which converts to vitamin A in the body. These powerful carotenoids help remove destructive free radical scavengers from the body, stopping damage in its tracks. Beta-carotene also helps protect against sun damage and imparts a healthy, natural glow.

Purple

Both red-purple and blue-purple translates to some powerful antioxidants. The general rule is that the darker the color, the more antioxidant rich the fruit or vegetable. Eggplant, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, beets, prunes and cranberries all help fight free radical damage in a big way.

Yellow-Green

Avocados are a good example of this category, which is loaded with carotenoids, lutein and zeaxanthin to fight macular degeneration, and beta-cryptothanxin, which promotes cellular communication. Antioxidant-rich yellow green foods that boost skin health include green peas, collard greens, yellow corn and honeydew melon.

Load your plate with as many of these colors as possible to fight the signs of aging and give your skin a youthful glow. Follow these dietary tips for how to improve collagen in the face and do facial exercises daily and you will look and feel your youthful best!

5 Foods for Younger Looking Skin 500 380 Facercise

5 Foods for Younger Looking Skin

One of the best ways to enhance the results of face exercises is with a diet rich in antioxidants and healthy fats. As we age, collagen production decreases and environmental stressors like free radicals take their toll. However, if you eat a healthy diet, you can boost collagen production and combat the damage free radicals can inflict. Read on for a list of foods that will take your anti-aging regimen to the next level.

1. Kiwi

Kiwi is one of the most vitamin-C rich foods on the planet, which makes it essential to an anti-aging diet. Vitamin C is critical for collagen production, which provides our skin’s support structure and keeps it firm and supple. When oxygen makes contact with vitamin C, it can cause it to leak from the food it’s found in. Kiwi’s furry skin locks in and stores vitamin C better than other fruits. Kiwi also contains fiber, vitamin E and antioxidants that rejuvenate your skin.

2. Seafood Containing Omega-S Fatty Acids

Fish like salmon, tuna, mackerel and sardines are all excellent anti-aging foods. They have high levels of omega-3 fatty acids, which fills us up, boosts our moods and hydrates our skin from the inside out. They also impart a healthy, youthful glow and plump up our skin, which decreases the appearance of wrinkles. These types of fish are also excellent sources of selenium, which helps protect against sun damage, hyperpigmentation and even skin cancer.

3. Walnuts

Walnuts are one of the most potent weapons against aging. They are packed with omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants. Walnuts are an excellent source of copper, which promotes collagen production. They are also loaded with zinc, which aids cellular function and repair.

4. Almonds

Like walnuts, almonds are a great source of omega-3 fatty acids. They are also one of the best sources of vitamin E, which has potent antioxidant and wrinkle-fighting properties. Almonds also contain protein, which boosts collagen and elastin.

5. Dark Chocolate

It’s true–dark chocolate helps fight the signs of aging. It’s loaded with antioxidant flavonoids, a group of phytochemicals with powerful anti-inflammatory properties. One of the flavonoids that dark chocolate contains is Quercetin, which plays an important role in the war against free radical damage. The dark version is your best anti-aging choice because it contains less sugar than other types of chocolate.

If you want to look younger naturally, follow a diet with healthy foods like this coupled with a daily regimen of Facercise, our revolutionary system of face exercises.

The Benefits of Exfoliation 500 333 Facercise

The Benefits of Exfoliation

Exfoliation is the foundation of an effective skincare routine. The natural process of shedding dead skin cells grows sluggish as we age, leading to a buildup that dulls the complexion and causes issues like acne, hyperpigmentation, and rough texture. The good news is, regular use of an exfoliating product like Face Lift to Go removes dead cells to reveal smoother, brighter skin and a youthful glow.

Read on to learn more about the amazing benefits of this essential skin care practice.

Unclogs Pores

Dead skin cells, excess oil and debris accumulate in the pores, causing congestion and breakouts. When you slough away these impurities with a product like Face Lift to Go, it helps prevent acne flare-ups and promotes clearer skin.

Cellular Turnover

Regular exfoliation stimulates cell renewal by promoting the turnover of pigmented cells and encouraging the growth of fresh, evenly pigmented skin cells. This turnover process reveals a brighter complexion while helping fade hyperpigmentation, such as acne scars, sun spots, and melasma.

That Youthful Glow

The most immediate benefit of exfoliation is youthful radiance. Dull, lackluster skin results from a buildup of dead skin cells that reflect light unevenly. Exfoliation eliminates dead skin and promotes cell turnover, removing this layer of dullness to reveal smoother, softer skin with a luminous glow.

Stimulates Collagen Production

Exfoliation stimulates the production of collagen, a protein responsible for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity. This helps reduce the appearance of sagging skin, fine lines, and wrinkles.

Enhanced Absorption of Skincare Products

Exfoliating removes the barrier of dead skin cells, allowing skincare products to penetrate more effectively. This means that your serums, moisturizers, and treatments can better deliver their active ingredients, maximizing their efficacy.

Improves Texture and Smoothness

An almost immediate benefit of exfoliation is the improvement in skin texture. Exfoliants buff away rough patches and flakiness to leave skin feeling softer, smoother, and more refined.

Exfoliation is a powerful skincare tool that offers unparalleled benefits. From unclogging pores to stimulating cell turnover, regular use of an exfoliating product like Face Lift to Go will transform your complexion.
