5 Benefits of Vitamin C Complex Serum

vitamin C serumOur Vitamin C Complex Serum is a fountain of youth! Vitamin C is one of the most potent antioxidants for anti-aging and beautiful skin. When applied topically, it helps protect skin from the sun’s harsh ultraviolet (UV) rays and other environmental stressors. What sets our vitamin C serum apart from others is its powerful ingredient, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, the most stable and effective form of this antioxidant.

Read on to discover the benefits of Vitamin C Complex Serum.

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!

The benefits of Vitamin C Complex Serum are unrivaled. Incorporate it into your routine as soon as possible!

6 Superfoods for Glowing Skin 500 331 Facercise

6 Superfoods for Glowing Skin

If you want to enhance results from facial exercises, eating a diet packed with superfoods is key. What we put in our body has great impact on both the health and appearance of our skin. Read on to discover six foods that combat the signs of aging, boost radiance and improve the health of your skin.

1. Omega-Rich Fish

Wild-caught salmon, tuna and tiny fish like mackerel are packed with healthy fats like EPA and omega-3. These fatty acids reduce inflammation and impart moisture to the skin. These types of fish are also an excellent source of lean protein that helps build lean muscle and puts your appetite in check. In addition, wild-caught salmon is a good course of zinc, a trace mineral that stimulates collagen synthesis.

2. Avocados

Avocados are loaded with potent antioxidants like vitamin C and E that reduce inflammation help slow collagen breakdown. Their high levels of healthy monounsaturated fatty acids hydrate skin from the inside out to plump up wrinkles and boost that youthful glow.

3. Berries

Berries are an excellent source of antioxidants such as flavonoids, polyphenols, phytochemicals and carotenoids. While all berries are good for you, the darker the berry, the greater the antioxidant content. This makes blackberries, raspberries and blueberries your best choice. Berries also contain ellagic acid, which may help prevent collagen damage caused by the sun’s dangerous ultraviolet rays.

4. Beetroot

Beetroot is a powerful weapon against free radicals that cause wrinkling and sagging. It also helps purify and detoxify our bloodstream. Beetroot contains strong levels of potassium, magnesium, calcium and vitamins A and E.

5. Kale

This green leafy vegetable is one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet. Kale is loaded with skin essentials that reduce inflammation and combat free radical damage including omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants like beta-carotene and vitamin C. It also contains copper, a mineral that boosts collagen production while promoting melanin synthesis to protect your skin from the sun. Kale is so good for your skin that some people rinse their face with kale juice in the morning!

6. Nuts & Seeds

5 Collagen Boosting Tips 500 334 Facercise

5 Collagen Boosting Tips

facial exercisesIf you want firm, glowing skin, collagen is key! It’s a fibrous protein that works together with elastin to provide structural support for the skin. These proteins are also responsible for firmness and elasticity. Unfortunately, as we age, collagen breaks down and its production slows. This is where facial exercises and a few other tricks can come in handy.

Boost collagen production with the following anti-aging tips:

1. Protect Your Skin

Free radicals and the sun’s dangerous UV rays scavenge and deplete collagen. This shows up as photodamage, such as fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and sun spots. It also causes sagginess and loss of elasticity. Prevent these unsightly issues by wearing sunblock every single day, rain or shine. Apply all over your face, hands, arms, neck and décolletage—even the tops of your ears, as they are extremely vulnerable. It’s good to eat foods rich in beta-carotene and lycopene, antioxidants that help protect the skin from the inside out. Tomatoes, squash, yams, watermelon, papaya, beets, grapefruit and bell peppers are all excellent sources.

2. Facercise Daily

Facial exercises boost circulation which helps deliver oxygen to the skin cells. This stimulates collagen production and gives you a rosy glow. A consistent Facercise practice also prevents atrophy and strengthens muscle memory. The result is firmer, smoother skin with more defined contours and a decreased appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

3. Eat Right

It’s important to consume lean, complete protein that provides all nine of the essential amino acids. Foods that contain high levels of sulphur have also been shown to promote collagen production. Some good options are garlic, legumes and cabbage. Vitamin C is also essential for cellular regeneration and collagen production. Eat lots of citrus, berries and green leafy vegetables to get your vitamin C fill.

4. Apply Vitamin C Topically

A vitamin C serum works wonders for stimulating collagen and brightening skin. Our Vitamin C Complex Serum protects against free radical and sun damage that breaks down collagen.

5. Avoid Smoking

Smoking restricts the blood flow, which leads to smoker’s face. This includes those lines around the lips and dry, leathery texture that makes you look 10 years older. Cut out smoking completely!

3 Foods That Boost Collagen 500 333 Facercise

3 Foods That Boost Collagen

Collagen is the body’s most abundant protein. While it is critical for our bone, muscle, ligament and tendon health, it also affects our looks. Collagen gives our skin its strength, elasticity, firmness and suppleness. It helps our skin cells renew themselves and fights off the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. While a solid anti-aging skin care regimen and facial exercises can help boost collagen production, this important protein cannot be absorbed through our skin. The good news is, we can boost collagen production by consuming certain foods. Read on to learn about three foods that will promote and stimulate collagen and help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

1. Avocado

These babies are loaded with omega 3 fatty acids, which boost collagen production, decrease the risk of skin cancer and help keep us fuller longer. Avocados are also packed with vitamin E, which helps prevent free radical damage and fight off skin cell oxidation. In addition, avocado oil is rich in plant steroids, which helps reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation and revitalizes skin cells.

2. Turkey

Turkey boasts high levels of carnosine, an amino acid that promotes elasticity by rejuvenating skin cells and reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. This lean protein is also an excellent source of tryptophan, which is a mood booster, helps ensure proper sleep and is good for weight loss. It is also rich in zinc, which has anti-inflammatory properties, reduces dry skin and promotes cell growth.

3. Citrus

Citrus fruits such as lemons, oranges, strawberries, pineapple and papaya are loaded with vitamin C, which bolsters immunity and combats free radical damage. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that can also reduce and prevent sun damage while decreasing the formation of wrinkles. Studies show that proper vitamin C consumption can even reverse sun damage.

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.
