3 Unique Ways to Use Pure Retinol Cream 500 333 Facercise

3 Unique Ways to Use Pure Retinol Cream

pure retinol creamRetinol 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 Pure Retinol Cream exfoliates 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 Facercise, our proprietary system of facial exercises.

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 Pure Retinol Cream.

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 are more natural looking than those achieved by fillers and other hand rejuvenation procedures.

The hands are one of the first places to show visible aging because the skin is thin and frequently exposed to sun and environmental stress. Retinol works at a cellular level to accelerate skin turnover, helping fade age spots, sun damage, and uneven pigmentation that tend to accumulate over time. With consistent use, it also stimulates collagen production, which softs the look of fine lines and deeper creases while subtly improving skin density.

This collagen support is especially valuable for hands, where volume loss can make veins and tendons more prominent. By encouraging smoother, thicker-looking skin, Pure Retinol Cream helps restore a more youthful, even-toned appearance without the abrupt or overfilled look that can sometimes occur with cosmetic procedures. Over time, hands appear smoother, brighter, and naturally rejuvenated.

Pro tip: Apply at night and follow with a rich moisturizer to minimize dryness. Daily sunscreen on hands is essential to protect results.

2. On Your Arms and Legs

Areas like the upper arms and thighs are prone to thinning skin and reduced elasticity, which can create a crepey texture. Retinol helps renew the skin’s surface while strengthening its underlying structure. As old, damaged cells shed more efficiently, the skin looks smoother and more even in tone. Meanwhile, increased collagen production supports firmness and resilience.

On the legs, consistent use can improve the appearance of sagging skin by enhancing elasticity and texture. Retinol can also help refine uneven, dimpled areas by promoting smoother skin structure over time. While it’s not a quick fix, regular application can noticeably improve tone, texture, and overall skin quality—especially when paired with consistent hydration and gentle exfoliation.

Pro tip: Start 2–3 times per week on body areas to allow skin to adjust, then gradually increase frequency.

3. On Your Stomach

The abdominal area often experiences stretching from weight changes, pregnancy, or natural aging, which can leave skin looking loose or uneven. Retinol supports skin renewal and collagen formation, helping the stomach appear firmer and more resilient. Over time, it can smooth the look of rough or bumpy texture and promote improved elasticity.

When combined with supportive practices like dry brushing with our Sisal louffas, which encourages circulation and gentle exfoliation, results can become more noticeable. Pairing topical care with structured body treatments such as the No Lipo Lipo body sculpting regimen may further enhance the appearance of smoother, tighter skin by supporting tone and texture improvements from multiple angles.

Pro tip: Apply Pure Retinol Cream to completely dry skin to reduce irritation, and follow with a nourishing body cream to maintain barrier health.

5 Habits That Turn Back the Clock

facial exercisesResearch shows that making small, incremental changes like wearing sunscreen and doing facial exercises is the best way to transform your lifestyle and achieve your goals. If anti-aging is a priority, read on for inspirational changes you can make that will takes years off your looks when practiced consistently. Start with one a week and by the end of the first month, you’ll be on your way to a beautiful transformation.

1. Drink Green Tea Every Day

Studies show that the antioxidants in green tea—particularly catechins like EGCG—help combat free radical damage that accelerates aging at the cellular level. By reducing oxidative stress, green tea supports healthier skin, improved elasticity, and a more youthful appearance over time. In addition, its natural thermogenic properties promote fat oxidation and gently rev your metabolism, helping with weight management as you age. Regular green tea consumption has also been linked to improved brain function and cardiovascular health, making it a simple daily habit with wide-ranging anti-aging benefits.

2. Dry Brush

Boost circulation and make your skin glow by dry brushing every day before you hop into the shower. Try one of my amazing Sisal Louffas from Germany—they’re long lasting and super effective. Start at the tops of your feet and work your way up your entire body, using long, upward strokes in the direction of your heart. It’s the perfect complement to our incredible No Lipo Lipo technique—in fact, there’s a demo on the DVD that shows the proper dry brushing technique as well.

3. Wear Sunscreen Every Day

Make it a point to wear sunscreen every single day, rain or shine. You’ll reduce your risk of skin cancer and help prevent hyperpigmentation and wrinkles. Wear it on your face, neck, decolletage, hands and any other part of your body that is regularly exposed.

4. Do Facial Exercises Daily

Consistent facial exercise is key to maintaining a youthful, lifted appearance. Performing anti-aging facial exercises twice a day helps strengthen and tone the underlying facial muscles, which can improve firmness, reduce the appearance of sagging, and enhance natural contours. The Ultimate Facercise DVD makes it easy to stay consistent, featuring an efficient 8-minute Superset that delivers noticeable results while saving you valuable time. Just a few minutes a day can support healthier circulation, better muscle tone, and a more refreshed, youthful look.

5. Get Moving

Whether you opt for serious strength-training and cardio workouts, yoga and Pilates classes, or walks around your neighborhood, physical activity is instrumental in anti-aging and overall health. You’ll rev your metabolism, increase your calorie burn and boost heart health. If time is an issue, try some of these workout hacks to maximize even the smallest gaps in your schedule.

6 Winter Skin Tips 500 333 Facercise

6 Winter Skin Tips

facial exercisesCold winter air dries out your skin—even when you practice good skin care and do facial exercises. The harsher weather can irritate and cause red, itchy and parched skin. Here are some tips for restoring and maintaining moisture in the harshest winter elements.

1. Step Up Exfoliation

It’s more important than ever to shed the dead skin cells that clog your pores and dull your skin during wintertime. When there is a buildup of dead skin, moisture cannot penetrate. Find a gentle exfoliant to slough away the excess and promote cell turnover. Use our Face Lift to Go Masque on a regular basis for glowing, winter-resistant skin.

2. Lower the Temp

While it’s second nature to crank up the heat on cold days, it makes the air in your living space extremely dry. Find a cooler setting to help your skin retain moisture.

3. Don’t Skip Sunscreen

I always tell clients to wear sunscreen every single day, rain or shine. Even when it’s cloudy or snowing, the sun’s UV rays are out to get you (snow actually reflects the sun). Wear sunscreen like you’re heading to the beach on a hot summer day.

4. Quench That Thirst

Keep skin hydrated from the inside and out. Drink lots of water and replenish your skin with lotions and moisturizers. Pay special attention to your hands, which can dry out significantly this time of year. Apply lotion after washing hands and wear protective gloves to do housework, garden and wash dishes.

5. Go Lukewarm

While a hot shower sounds so good during cold weather, it strips essential oils from the skin, leaving it dry and parched. Use lukewarm water whenever you take showers and wash your hands.

6. Dry Brush

Dry brushing promotes exfoliation all over the body while stimulating circulation so that your skin glows.

These tips coupled with our life-changing facial exercises will help you look and feel your very best.

5 Ways to Prevent Wrinkles Naturally 500 333 Facercise

5 Ways to Prevent Wrinkles Naturally

facerciseBotox 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

Smoking and drinking alcohol are two vices that 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. Using a product like our enzymatic masque, Face Lift to Go, is the pefect way to exfoliate to reveal a youthful glow.

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 shield the delicate under-eye area and eliminate the need to squint. If you have trouble reading, get the appropriate eyeglasses immediately. Consistent squinting over time can etch fine lines into the skin and make existing wrinkles appear deeper. Take preventive measures now to help maintain a smoother, more youthful appearance.

6 Fall Skin Care Tips 500 333 Facercise

6 Fall Skin Care Tips

facial exercisesIt’s official—fall is in full swing! We love this time of year because you can undo some of the damage you may have done this summer. Facial exercises may rock but they don’t prevent sun damage!

As we head into colder temperatures, it’s important to adjust your skin care regimen accordingly. Below are a few tips for improving the appearance of your skin this season.

1. Replenish Moisture

When summer humidity disappears, we need to compensate to keep skin hydrated. Swap out lightweight moisturizer for a thicker cream that helps retain moisture and protect your skin’s barrier. This is especially important for your nighttime regimen, so that the skin can rehydrate during its rejuvenation process.

2. Cut Back on Exfoliation

Reduce exfoliation during this time of year. The colder, drier environment will not buffer the effects of exfoliation like summer humidity does. It’s still important to exfoliate—just a little less frequently. An excellent way to slough off the excess without irritation is to do a Face Lift to Go every seven to 10 days.

3. Continue Using Sunscreen

Just because summer’s over, that doesn’t mean it’s a free-for-all in the sun! UV radiation presents all year long, making sunscreen critical, rain or shine. Apply our Protective Sunblock SPF 30 every single day.

4. Add Vitamin C

Vitamin C acts a backup for sunscreen—it fights off UV damage that may not be fully blocked by sunscreen. While sunscreen should always be your first line of defense against UV damage, a topical like our Vitamin C Complex serum will take protection to the next level. It also promotes collagen production, brightens your complexion and reduces the appearance of sun spots and hyperpigmentation. Vitamin C ensures your complexion stays bright, resilient, and protected even as the seasons change.

5. Take Care of Your Hands

Hands need just as much attention, especially with drier air in the environment. Frequent handwashing and exposure to cold air can strip away natural oils, leaving skin rough, cracked, and more prone to irritation. Apply a rich, nourishing hand cream several times a day—especially after washing—and look for formulas with ingredients like shea butter, hyaluronic acid, or vitamin E. For best results, use vitamin C and sunscreen on your hads as well. Wear gloves outdoors and use a gentle exfoliant once a week to help maintain smoothness and protect your hands from premature aging during the fall months.

6. Schedule Monthly Treatments

Commit to monthly skin care treatments in the hands of an expert—all year long!

Follow these tips coupled with a regimen of facial exercises to look and feel your very best.

4 Tips for Reducing Puffy Eyes 500 333 Facercise

4 Tips for Reducing Puffy Eyes

facial exercisesOne of the most common beauty problems is waking up to puffy eyes. Whether they’re due to aging, sinuses, hormonal changes, crying or lack of sleep, puffy inflamed eyes are unsightly and uncomfortable. They make you look tired, sick or like you have a hangover. The good news is, you can use some easy home remedies to eliminate swelling and puffiness around the windows to your soul.

Here are 4 ways to slay puffiness around your eyes.

1. Hydrate

One of the simplest ways to combat puffiness is by drinking water. When your body is properly hydrated, you are less likely to retain water in any part of your body, including the area around your eyes. Water flushes the toxins out of your body and hydrates from the inside out. White and green tea help hydrate and decrease inflammation as well. You can also splash your face with cold water to reduce swelling and constrict the blood vessels. Take it a step further by applying ice. You can also soak cotton balls in salt water and apply to your eyelids for 10 to 15 minutes. For best results, make the salt water with Himalayan sea salt.

2. Do the Eye Opener

One of our most popular facial exercises is the Eye Opener. It boosts circulation and blood flow to the area, which can significantly help reduce puffiness. Do your entire set of Facercises for optimum results.

3. Cucumbers

The old school remedy of applying chilled cucumbers is an excellent route to take. Cucumbers boast enzymes and astringent properties that reduce inflammation and help tighten the area. Chill thick cucumber slices in the refrigerator for 15 to 20 minutes, apply them to your eyelids for about 10 minutes and you will see a difference.

4. Vitamin E Oil

Another natural remedy for diminishing puffy eyes is vitamin E oil. Gently massage ointo the delicate area around the eyes. Leave on overnight for best results. This hydrates, stimulates circulation and reduces inflammation.

The Eye Opener and our other incredible facial exercises will help you look 10 years younger in a mater of weeks.

5 Tips for Younger Looking Hands 500 603 Facercise

5 Tips for Younger Looking Hands

If only we could target our hands with facial exercises! Our hands can be a dead giveaway of age, as they are one of the most vulnerable areas of our body. Many of us forget to address our hands, yet they are very susceptible to wrinkles, sun spots, volume loss and dry, cracked skin. They’re constantly exposed to the sun and other environmental stressors, not to mention the toll housework and gardening can take.

The delicate skin on our hands needs constant care and protection. Avoid crepey, wrinkled hands and sun spots with the following anti-aging tips.

1. Apply Sunblock Daily

Your hands need constant protection from the sun and free radical damage. Apply Protective Sunblock SPF 30 every day all year long. Apply 20 minutes before heading outside and re-apply throughout the day.

2. Give Your Hands the Same Attention You Give Your Face

Don’t skimp when it comes to your hands—use the same quality products you use on your face. Add an additional layer of sun protection by layering Vitamin C Complex Serum under your moisturizer and sunscreen. Vitamin C helps brighten hyperpigmentation and even out skin tone while boosting collagen. Another excellent strategy is to apply Face lift to Go regularly to fend off wrinkling and plump up the skin.

3. Wash Gently

Since we often wash our hands several times a day, it’s essential to use a gentle product. Try a hand wash that features vitamin E or shea butter as a main ingredient to help restore hydration. Products that don’t include a moisturizing element can be too harsh and drying.

4. Moisturize After Water Exposure

Apply a rich hydrating cream immediately after washing your hands. A thick cream is much more restorative and hydrating than a regular lotion.

5. Wear Gloves

Wear gloves when doing dishes, housework and gardening, as well as when you’re driving. Dangerous UV rays can scavenge the hands on your skin through your car window, causing unsightly sun spots and wrinkles. There are also special sun protective gloves available, such as those by Bloxsun or Solartex, that are meant to be put on and taken off very easily and have a slight grip for the steering wheel

Fight Aging With Exercise 500 333 Facercise

Fight Aging With Exercise

facial exercisesFacial exercises are a critical tool for fighting the signs of aging—but don’t stop at the face. Research performed at McMaster University in Canada shows that regular physical exercise yields an array of benefits that help us look and feel younger. It bolsters our health, fights off disease and helps firm and smooth skin.

While the studies began with mice, researchers moved on to human participants who experienced younger looking skin. One of the most important variables was that the subjects exercises regularly, proving that consistency is key to attaining noticeable results. This is also true for facial exercises—daily practice is what we recommend to our clients.

Aim to work out a minimum of 30 minutes per day. If you haven’t exercised in a while, start with three days a week and build up to four or five. For optimum results, exercise five to six days a week. You can start out slowly, but always strive to boost the intensity duration of your workouts. While consistency is key, it’s also important to keep challenging your muscles and endurance levels.

Plus, walking is accessible to nearly everyone and requires no special equipment—just a good pair of shoes and a willingness to move.

Strength Training

As we age, maintaining muscle mass becomes especially important for mobility, independence, and long-term health. Strength training builds lean muscle mass, which is essential for good posture. It also improves skin tone and elasticity, which helps combat sagging. In addition, strength training supports bone density, enhances balance and coordination, boosts metabolism, and contributes to overall body confidence.

Tai Chi

This beautiful Chinese martial arts blends meditation, deep breathing and gentle movement. It’s an excellent low-impact activity that is safe for all ages and reduces stress. Studies show that Tai Chi also lowers blood pressure, boosts the immune system and improves energy levels.

7 Tips for Fighting Wrinkles Naturally 500 333 Facercise

7 Tips for Fighting Wrinkles Naturally

system of facial exercisesMany clients write me to ask how they can enhance their facial exercises regimen. It’s really more than just tips and tricks—you need to implement a healthy antiaging lifestyle. This requires adopting habits and behaviors that stave off wrinkles and promote healthy skin, while avoiding those that don’t. Here are seven ways to help fight off the signs of aging and look your very best.

1. Don’t Smoke!

One of the worst things you can do for your overall health and beauty is to smoke. It causes unsightly wrinkles around your mouth and constricts blood vessels, which makes your skin lose its luster. It also hampers the blood supply to skin tissue, which decreases firmness and elasticity and causes uneven skin tone. Do whatever you need to in order to stop this dangerous habit.

2. Hydrate

Drink lots of water and antioxidant-rich green tea to moisturize your skin from within. This will help your skin glow and flush the toxins from your body.

3. Eat an Antioxidant-Rich Diet

Studies show that foods with a high antioxidant content helps slow down the aging process and boosts your overall health. Dark-colored produce tends to be loaded with antioxidants, so reach for berries, red grapefruit, tomatoes, dark leafy veggies and bell peppers. Avocados are also packed with antioxidants, as well as healthy fats.

4. Wear Sunscreen Daily

Apply sunscreen daily, rain or shine. This will help prevent future sun damage and combat the formation of new fine lines, wrinkles and unsightly hyperpigmentation.

5. Exfoliate Regularly

Exfoliation is key to sloughing away dead skin cells to reveal a healthier glow. Use my Face Lift to Go masque on a weekly basis to exfoliate, tighten and firm your skin. It’s an excellent way to prepare for a special event.

6. Use Upward Motions

Apply cleansers and topical skin products using an upward motion. When we use a downward motion, this pulls collagen downward, which can actually creating wrinkling.

7. Do Facial Exercises Daily

Facercise daily to decrease fine lines and wrinkles, boost collagen production and stimulate circulation to produce a youthful glow. Our revolutionary system of facial exercises will help you look 10 years younger in a matter of weeks!

Berries
