3 Unique Ways to Use Luxe Retinol Serum

retinol serumRetinol plays a critical role in your anti-aging. It’s a topical vitamin A derivative that boosts collagen production, speeds cell turnover and helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Our Luxe Retinol serum exfoliates the dead skin cells to impart a healthy glow and speeds cell turnover. It also smooths skin while improving skin tone and hyperpigmentation.

Retinol is one of the most effective products for promoting cell-communication. It functions as an antioxidant to help prevent free radical damage while healing and preventing acne. New research points to its ability to increase elastin production as well, making it the perfect complement to our proprietary system of facial exercises, Facercise.

Many people know to apply retinol to their faces every night before bedtime, but few realize that it can improve the skin all over the body as well. Here are three other ways that we recommend using Luxe Retinol serum.

1. On Your Hands

Retinol is very effective at reducing unsightly age spots and hyperpigmentation on hands. It smooths out wrinkles and deep creases, while adding volume by boosting collagen production. This is important since volume loss is one of the most common signs of aging on hands. The results from regular application of Luxe Retinol serum are more natural looking than those achieved by fillers and other hand rejuvenation procedures.

2. On Your Arms and Legs

Retinol can significantly reduce the appearance of crepey arms while evening out skin tone. It’s also an excellent way to lift and firm sagging skin on our legs and can even improve the appearance of cellulite.

3. On Your Stomach

Regular use of Luxe Retinol serum firms and tighten skin on the stomach. It reduces the appearance of dimply, bumpy skin in this area and promotes elasticity. When used in conjunction with a dry brushing and/or No Lipo Lipo regimen, you will see extraordinary results.

5 Ways to Prevent Wrinkles Naturally

facial exercisesBotox and dermal fillers are not the holy grail of anti-aging! There are natural, non-invasive ways to combat the signs of aging and look younger and more beautiful. A healthy lifestyle, good habits and a solid skincare regimen will work wonders without breaking your wallet. Follow the tips below to keep your skin looking as beautiful as possible.

1. Protect Against UV Rays

The sun’s dangerous ultraviolet (UV) rays break down collagen and elastin, the proteins that keep your skin firm and flexible. The sun also etches fine lines and wrinkles into your skin, making them deeper over time, and causes hyperpigmentation and sun spots. To prevent these unsightly signs of aging, wear a sunblock with a minimum of SPF 30 every single day, rain or shine. If you engage in outdoor activities, re-apply sunblock every hour. Wear a hat and sunglasses whenever you step outside and protective SPF clothing when possible.

2. Facercise Daily

Practice your facial exercises every single day, twice a day for best results. This will help smooth out lines and wrinkles, stimulate the delivery of oxygen to skin cells and boost collagen and elastin production.

3. Avoid Smoking & Drinking

These two vices wreak serious havoc on your appearance. Both dehydrate your skin, break down collagen and slow down circulation. Smoking also causes the formation of deep lines around the mouth and nasolabial folds.

4. Exfoliate Regularly

It’s important to shed the dead cells that dull skin and clog pores. Exfoliate on a regular basis to remove dead skin cells and promote cellular turnover.

5. Stop Squinting

Squinting causes Crow’s feet, under-eye bags and the brow furrow often referred to as “The 11s.” Wear sunglasses with SPF protection to protect delicate under eye skin and eliminate the need to squint. If you have trouble reading, get the appropriate eyeglasses immediately.

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.
