6 Fall Anti-Aging Superfoods

facial exercisesOne of the best ways to enhance results from facial exercises and anti-aging skincare is from the inside out. What we eat doesn’t just affect our waistlines, it impacts the health and appearance of our skin. Take your diet up this fall by incorporating some fall superfoods. An antioxidant-rich diet can help your skin look younger, prevent the signs of future aging and boost your overall health.

Below are five fall superfoods to help you get next level results from your skincare and facial exercises.

1. Eggplant

Eggplant is available year-round, but peaks from July to October. The veggie’s deep-purple skin indicates its high concentration of antioxidants and phytonutrients, including chlorogenic acid and nasunin. Nasunin packs powerful antiaging properties and has been shown to combat the spread of cancer. Eggplant also contains strong levels of dietary fiber, copper, manganese, folate, potassium, and vitamins B1, B6 and K.

2. Apples

Apple are loaded with dietary fiber, which fills us up and boosts digestion. They are an ideal source of vitamin C, which promotes immunity and collagen production. Collagen is an important protein substance responsible for the firmness and elasticity of our skin. Apples also contain high levels of copper and an array of phytonutrients, such as quercetin, that may help prevent cancer and other chronic illnesses.

3. Brussels Sprouts

These green leafy cruciferous veggies are loaded with dietary fiber—enough to fill you up for hours. They contain several flavonoid compounds and strong amounts of collagen-boosting vitamins A, C and K. Brussels sprouts are also a good source of folate, manganese, choline, copper, potassium, phosphorus and omega-3 fatty acids.

4. Pears

Delicious juicy pears are one of the best sources of fiber among fruits and contain a bevy of powerful anti-inflammatory polyphenols and flavonoids. They are also rich in potassium, copper and vitamins C and K.

5. Squash

This iconic fall veggie is rich in a bevy of antioxidants, including beta-carotene. Beta-carotene helps protect the skin from sun damage and provides a healthy glow. Squash is also loaded with vitamins C and E, which helps reduce inflammation.

6. Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes are another great source of beta-carotene and iron with fierce anti-inflammatory properties. Boost your fiber intake by eating the skin!

The Basics of Collagen 500 347 Facercise

The Basics of Collagen

facial exercisesCollagen is the most abundant protein found in the body and is essential to many aspects of our health. It provides structure for our skin cells and forms our connective tissue, such as cartilage and tendons. Collagen literally keeps our skin and bodies together! It’s a vital skin layer that provides elasticity, firmness and a cushion for the skin’s movements. It’s important to boost collagen with diet, skincare products and facial exercises.

Here are the basics of collagen so that you know what depletes it and how to promote its production.

The Slowdown

Collagen production starts slowing down anywhere from age 18 to mid-20s with visible signs showing up around age 30. Research shows that we lose up around one percent per year after that, with production dwindling even more after menopause.

Collagen Scavengers

The things that deplete collagen the most are aging, excess sugar, UV exposure, free radicals and pollutants like smoking. Drinking alcohol has also been shown to slow collagen production.

Protecting Collagen Reserves

Sunblock with a SPF 30 is critical for protecting skin from the sun’s dangerous UV rays.

Boosting Collagen Production

Vitamin C is essential for collagen synthesis. Use a topically applied vitamin C product like our Vitamin C Complex Serum and eat an antioxidant-rich diet that includes citrus and other good sources of vitamin C. Vitamin A and minerals including copper and iron also help promote collagen production.

Health Benefits

Collagen is present throughout our bodies and supports many functions. It boosts metabolism, helps heal a leaky gut, promotes lean muscle mass and improves skin, hair and nail health. Research shows that it also may increase energy, reduce joint pain and degeneration, bolster heart health by stimulating circulation and improve sleep quality.

Skin Benefits

Boosting collagen production reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, while increasing elasticity and firmness.

How to Stimulate Collagen 500 333 Facercise

How to Stimulate Collagen

collagenCollagen is essential for youthful skin. It’s a naturally occurring protein that provides cellular structure and is responsible for skin elasticity, firmness and plumpness. Factors like aging, UV rays and environmental stressors break collagen down and slows its production. By age 20, our collagen stores deplete at a faster rate, leading to wrinkles and sagging skin.

Here are easy ways to stimulate collagen production.

Avoid Smoking

Smoking is collagen’s worst enemy. It restricts circulation and strips away our collagen supply, leaving dull, dry, wrinkled skin it its wake. This is especially visible in the skin around the nasolabial folds, lips and eyes. Avoid smoking altogether!

Eat Right

A diet filled with lean protein and antioxidant-rich produce boosts collagen production. Studies show that vitamin C and minerals like copper, zinc and sulphur increases collagen supplies. Vitamin C has also been shown to reduce and protect against sun and free radical damage that breaks this protein down. Some excellent foods that aid in collagen formation include chicken, bone broth, shellfish, fish, eggs, garlic, citrus, berries, tomatoes, leafy greens, beans and bell peppers. Nuts including cashews, almonds, Brazil nuts, walnuts and peanut are great sources of sulphur.

Cut Down on Sugar

Studies show that refined sugars and simple carbs cause inflammation and deplete collagen supplies. Sugars attach to collagen fibers permanently, weighing them down and hindering flexibility.

Facercise

Facial exercise boosts circulation and collagen production. It strengthens the synergistic muscles of the face and neck and helps define and contour. A regular practice firms and tightens skin to give the face a more lifted appearance.

Facial Massage

Facial massages stimulate lymphatic drainage to help detox skin, while bolstering collagen production. By engaging in this type of self-care, you will reduce stress that causes wrinkles and inflammation.

When applied topically, it helps protect skin from the sun’s harsh ultraviolet (UV) rays and other environmental stressors.

1. Vitamin C Serum Fights Hyperpigmentation

Vitamin C helps reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation and “age spots” while protecting against future discoloration. It also helps soothe inflammation, irritation and redness.

2. Protection Against Free Radicals

Vitamin C protects the skin from damage caused by free radicals, pollution and other environmental stressors. Studies show that regular use of a topical vitamin C neutralizes damage and may reverse its appearance.

3. More Refined Pores

Topically applied vitamin C minimizes the appearance of large pores so that they look more refined. It also improves skin texture so that it looks and feels smoother and more even.

4. Boosted Collagen Production

Collagen is a protein responsible for skin’s firmness and elasticity. When collagen breaks down, it causes lines, wrinkles, larger pores and thinner, sagging skin. Vitamin C Complex Serum boosts collagen production to fight wrinkles, thicken skin, improve firmness and reduce sagging.

5. Vitamin C Brightens Skin

Dull skin be gone! Regular use of a serum rich in vitamin C brightens skin and imparts a healthy glow. It can even help lighten undereye circles. Many of our clients use it on their hands, neck, decolletage, arms and legs too!

5 Benefits of Healthy Fats 500 333 Facercise

5 Benefits of Healthy Fats

facial exercisesOmega-3 fatty acids can be 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 and enhancing the results of your facial exercises.

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. Click through to discover more anti-aging tips and learn about the benefits of facial exercises.

5 Reasons to Quit Smoking 1024 683 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. Click here to learn about our proprietary system of facial exercises that takes 10 years off your looks.

Why Facercise Rocks 1024 773 Facercise

Why Facercise Rocks

facial exercisesMen and women across the globe have been doing Facercise, our proprietary system of facial exercises, for decades. This is because our system is considered the best of the best! The natural results Facercise yields are unrivaled and easy to achieve. You can do this system on your own time and in the comfort of your home—or even your car. Read on to learn about the incredible benefits!

Facial Exercises Detox

Facercise stimulates the lymphatic system, which is responsible for eliminating the toxins from our body. When functioning properly, it revs the metabolism while removing from bacteria from our skin. This means less dead skin cells and cleaner pores, which results in fewer breakouts and fresher looking skin.

Natural Looking Results

Unlike the results you get from Botox and other injectables, Facercise gives you a younger, but more natural appearance. There is no bruising, swelling, risk of infection or other side effects associated with facial exercises.

A Youthful Glow

Facercise boosts blood flow and facilitates the delivery of oxygen to your skin cells. This imparts a healthy glow to your skin, while fighting the development of wrinkles.

Facercise Combats Sagging

As we age, the body’s production of collagen and elastin slows down, which makes the skin lose elasticity. Facercise boosts production of both these essential proteins, which firms and lifts the skin. Regular practice fights sagging and makes skin appear firmer and more lifted. You can even resculpt areas of your face, such as a long nose or double chin, aka “the wattle.”

A Brighter Complexion

Facial exercises improve skin tone and brighten your complexion. By boosting oxygen delivery, your skin eliminates dead skin cells faster and can better absorb moisture and skin care products.

Regular Facercise keeps you looking young without the risks of surgery or side effects associated with Botox and other dermal fillers. Click here for more information.
