Get Fresh & Glowing for Summer

facial exercisesSummer weather is in effect and there’s no better time to flaunt beautiful skin and a healthy glow. Yet many dread this time of year and the damage it can do. The heat dries out your skin, the sun’s UV rays cause burns and redness, and breakouts can emerge in full force. The good news is, if you do facial exercises and practice good habits, your skin will look better than ever.
Follow these steps and soon you’ll be showing off younger looking skin and a gorgeous summer glow.

Exfoliate

Dry dead skin cells translate to clogged pores and the appearance of dull skin. Buff away those cells regularly to avoid breakouts and diffuse light so your skin looks brighter. Use a gentle yet effective mask such as Face Lift to Go every week to target your face. Face Lift to Go is on sale this week for just $65 (normally $95), so if you haven’t tried this luxurious mask, now is the time! Use the Beauty Face Mitt and Bamboo Mitt to detoxify the skin on your face. Click here for step-by-step instructions.

Moisturize

Keep your skin hydrated by incorporating a rich moisturizer into your routine. Combat dryness with products that contain potent hydrator like hyaluronic acid. It’s a naturally occurring substance in the body that keeps joints lubricated and boosts collagen production. Regular use of a topical cream that contains hyaluronic acid maintains moisture and improves skin texture.

You can’t go wrong with our Ultra Hyaluronic Cream—it contains ingredients that have been shown to increase skin moisture by 300%. It’s the fountain of youth in a jar and is on sale for just $39.95 this week (Normally $50).

Exercise

An easy way to get your glow on is to work out regularly. It boosts circulation to give you a rosy glow and helps eliminate toxins from the body. Regular exercise also boosts your energy levels and your mood.

Facercise

Just like working out boosts circulation overall, facial exercises promote bloody supply specifically to your face and neck. Regular Facercise practice ensures a healthy, natural glow all year long.

Eat Right

Certain foods reduce inflammation and help hydrate the skin so that it maintains radiance. Eat lots of foods with high water content, such as fruits and green vegetables. Include green vegetables in your diet as they help to improve the immune system and decreases stress level in the body. Strive for antioxidant-rich, colorful produce like berries, kiwi, watermelon, oranges, spinach and kale. Nuts like almonds, walnuts and Brazil nuts are rich in healthy fats and do wonders for your skin. Avoid salty foods, which can dehydrate your skin.

Get ready for summer with Facercise, our proprietary system of facial exercises, and our No Lipo Lipo body sculpting system.

5 Ways That Vitamin C Fights Aging 500 333 Facercise

5 Ways That Vitamin C Fights Aging

vitamin c serumI’ve touted the benefits of vitamin C to clients who do my facial exercises for years! It’s a natural weapon for maintaining healthy, youthful looking skin and a strong immune system. Also known as ascorbic acid, vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that helps the body form connective tissue and fight off disease. People of all ages should incorporate it into their skin care routines.

Read on to discover five ways vitamin C helps us combat the effects and signs of aging.

1. Re-Hydrates

No matter what time of year, vitamin C addresses dry, flaky and itchy skin. It quenches thirsty cells and helps them differentiate and mature normally.

2. Reduces Discoloration

Regular use of a vitamin C serum like my Vitamin C Complex Serum helps you achieve a more uniform skin tone. It reverses the appearance of sun spots and hyperpigmentation, as well as redness.

3. Brightens Skin

Vitamin C brightens and revives dull skin and improves your complexion. Consistent use of a vitamin C serum promises a more youthful glow.

4. Fights Damage

Vitamin C helps stop sun and free radical damage in its tracks. The sun’s dangerous UV rays wreak serious havoc while free radicals scavenge the skin, causing the formation of dark spots and collagen breakdown. Always incorporate a vitamin C product in addition to sunscreen.

5. Boosts Collagen Production

Collagen is a protein that is responsible for skin’s elasticity. As we age, skin loses its suppleness and thins. Vitamin C products stimulate collagen production, which promotes elasticity and thickens the skin. This significantly reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles—and therefore diminishes demand for risky facial injections!

6. Combats Inflammation

Vitamin C has been shown to reduce inflammation, which benefits our skin and overall health. This also expedites the body and skin’s healing processes.

Use Vitamin C Complex Serum regularly and Facercise every day to look up to 10 years younger!

5 Sun Protection Tips 500 333 Facercise

5 Sun Protection Tips

facial exercisesSummer is around the corner. It evokes thoughts of vacations, bare feet and idling the days away sunbathing. Yet as relaxing as the latter sounds, it brings with it dangerous exposure to UV rays.  Too much of these dangerous rays causes signs of aging, sun damage and skin cancer. Since it’s unrealistic to avoid the great outdoors altogether, we’re providing some excellent tips to protect your skin during summertime. Add these tips to your regimen of daily facial exercises and you’ll keep your complexion in gorgeous condition for the most skin-baring season of all.

1. Wear Sunscreen Religiously

One of the most important things you can do for your skin is to wear sunscreen every single day, rain or shine. Apply it 20 to 30 minutes before you head outdoors and re-apply every few hours as needed. That’s right—bring it with you everywhere. Don’t just apply it to your face—apply it to your neck, decollete, hands, arms and everywhere you don’t want sun damage to appear. Try my Protective Sunblock SPF 30 for light, velvety protection.

2. Drink Plenty of Water

Drink water all day long, especially during hot summer days when you’re chance of getting dehydrated is higher. This helps you flush the toxins from your body and keep your skin hydrated from the inside out. When your body isn’t properly hydrated, it zaps the moisture from your skin and hair, making them look dull, dry and generally lackluster.

3. Exfoliate

Exfoliate regularly to eliminate the buildup of dead skin cells. If your skin is dry, aim for 1 to 2 times per week and 2 to 3 if your skin is oily. Doing a Face Lift to Go treatment every week is a great way to exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin. Retinol helps keep your skin exfoliated as well.

4. Eat Right

Increase your intake of antioxidant-rich foods this time of year, especially those containing vitamin C and E, which can help reverse sun damage. Load up on fruits and vegetables, since they will help keep you hydrated. In addition, consume lots of lycopene-rich foods such as tomatoes, watermelon, grapefruit, papaya, guavas and red pepper—the powerful carotenoid helps protect your skin against harmful UV rays.

5. Spritz

Keep your skin hydrated and freshen up your makeup regularly throughout the day with my Heavy Water Spritz. This will help bind moisture to the skin to keep it hydrated and give you a dewy glow.

Follow these tips in conjunction with Facercise, my proprietary system of facial exercises, to look 10 years younger.

5 Reasons to Drink Green Tea 500 333 Facercise

5 Reasons to Drink Green Tea

facial exercisesTea has been touted for centuries for its medicinal and healing properties—and for good reason. Green tea is rich in antioxidants and polyphenols, which have anti-inflammatory properties that improve beauty, weight and overall health. It’s an excellent anti-aging complement to face exercises and No Lipo Lipo.

Here are five of incredible benefits of green tea.

1. Green Tea Improves Your Complexion

Drinking green tea helps flush the toxins from your skin, while reducing inflammation that causes breakouts and promoting faster healing. Green tea also contains catechins, antibacterial agents that help fight bacteria that causes acne and regulate hormonal imbalances. Studies have shown that the antioxidants in green tea also boost elasticity.

2. It Fights Aging

Green tea contains polyphenols that help combat free radicals that damage the skin and accelerate aging.

3. Green Tea Reduces Puffy Eyes

We all remember the old school tea-bags-on the-eyelids remedy that so many of us used to disguise a hangover. The good news is, green tea is actually the real deal when it comes to reducing the appearance of dark circles and puffy eyes, due to its content of tannins, antioxidants and vitamin K.

4. It Promotes Weight Loss

Research shows that green tea boasts natural thermogenic properties and polyphenols that oxidize fat faster and boosts our metabolic rate. It also contains EGCG, an antioxidant that ultimately helps break down more fat in our bodies. It has also been shown to help regular blood sugar levels.

5. Green Tea Helps Reduce Stress

Green tea is rich in the amino acid l-theanine, which helps increase alpha waves in the brain, a natural state that helps reduce stress and anxiety.

Swap out those fattening coffee drinks for two cups of green tea each day—you will love the results. Follow tips like these in conjunction with a regular Facercise practice to look and feel your best. Our revolutionary system of facial exercises will make you look up to 10 years younger!

5 Mistakes That Age You 500 334 Facercise

5 Mistakes That Age You

facial exercisesWhen you do facial exercises religiously and follow a strict skin care regimen, you expect to look as good as possible. While this is what should happen, you could easily make mistakes that make you age faster than your years. If you’re not seeing the results you want, it’s probably time to re-evaluate your habits, the foods you eat and the position you sleep in. Read on to learn about the most common mistakes that add years to our faces.

1. Excessive Sugar Consumption

A sweet tooth doesn’t just affect your waistline, it can age your skin and cause breakouts. When you eat sweets or simple carbs that convert to glucose in your system, the sugar molecules attach themselves to your skin’s collagen fibers. This process, known as glycation, causes the fibers to become inflexible and pull at the skin. The result is sagging skin, puffiness, enlarged pores, dark under eye circles, a loss of facial contours and diminished radiance. Skip dessert and simple carbs as much as possible to maintain a youthful glow.

2. Not Removing Makeup

No matter how tired you are, it’s critical to remove your makeup every single night. Sleeping with makeup on clogs your pores and causes breakouts, while cheating your skin of its nightly reparation. During REM sleep, your skin builds collagen and tries to repair damage; if you’ve got makeup on, it cannot do either.

3. Over-Exfoliating

Exfoliation is key for shedding the dead skin cells that clog pores and give your skin a dull, dry appearance. It also stimulates the production of new cells. However, too much exfoliation causes inflammation, which accelerates aging. Ask your dermatologist or esthetician to recommend a gentle scrub that is ideal for your skin.

4. Sleeping the Wrong Way

The best position to sleep in is on your back, as it prevents those deep wrinkles and creases we get from smashing our face into a pillow. It also helps prevent sagging and wrinkles on your décolletage. The best anti-aging practice also includes sleeping on a silk or copper-infused pillowcase to help keep hair and skin smooth.

5. Eliminating Fats

Forget about those old school low-fat and non-fat diets; fat has made a serious comeback and never should have left. Omega 3 fatty acids are absolutely essential for fighting wrinkles and maintaining plump, supple skin. They also combat inflammation and free radical damage. Avocados, nuts and oily fish such as tuna, salmon and mackerel are excellent sources of omega 3 fatty acids.

Stop making these mistakes and focus on making your skin its healthiest best—and try Facercise, our  life-changing system of facial exercises.

5 Anti-Aging Vitamins 500 333 Facercise

5 Anti-Aging Vitamins

facial exercisesAn excellent way to enhance the results of facial exercises is with a healthy diet rich in antioxidants and vitamins. Get them into your diet, your skin care routine and even take supplements if necessary. Many antioxidants and vitamins help reduce the effects of the sun and free radicals while preventing future damage. Read on to learn about some of these important and beneficial nutrients.

1. Vitamin C

One of the most essential vitamins for skin and overall health is vitamin C. It boosts immunity, stimulates collagen production, protects against sun damage, brightens skin and decreases hyperpigmentation. Citrus fruits and vegetables are rich sources of vitamin C. Some excellent choices include oranges, lemons, limes, pineapples, pears, kiwi, strawberries, bell peppers, guava and broccoli. Aim for at least 100 mg per day.

2. Vitamin E

This popular vitamin is important because it acts as a barrier against dangerous enzymes and free radicals. Together with vitamin C, it can significantly fight damage from dangerous UV rays. Good sources include wheat germ, almonds, cashews, peanuts, avocados and sunflower seeds. Studies show that consumption of 400 mg per day reduces photodamage and the appearance of wrinkles.

3. Beta-Carotene

This is one of the most critical antioxidants for skin health. Beta-carotene converts into vitamin A in our systems, where it plays a major role in cellular repair and growth. It also helps protect the skin from both sun and free radical damage, while imparting a healthy, youthful glow. Some excellent sources include pumpkins, sweet potatoes, yams, winter squash, Swiss chard, carrots, broccoli, spinach, kale, tomatoes and cantaloupe.

4. Selenium

Studies have shown this mineral to help protect against various forms of cancer, including melanoma. Selenium is crucial for protein synthesis and promotes skin quality and elasticity. Like the other nutrients we listed, it protects against sun and free radical damage. Selenium also boosts the effectiveness of vitamin E. Good sources include seafood, eggs, Brazil nuts, garlic, whole grains, chia seeds and wheat germ.

5. Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Healthy fats like omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation and bolster the skin cell membrane found in the epidermis. This helps protect the skin and enables it to hold onto moisture longer, which improves texture. Excellent sources include avocados, eggs, walnuts, salmon, tuna, sardines and mackerel.

Healthy vitamin-rich foods and supplements, coupled with a regimen of facial exercises and advanced skin care products, will ake years off your face and body!

7 Anti-Aging Hacks 500 333 Facercise

7 Anti-Aging Hacks

facial exercisesMaintaining youthful skin requires a comprehensive regimen. You’ve got to take great care of your skin, from both the inside and out, on a very consistent basis if you want to combat wrinkles and preserve a healthy glow. It takes a lot of work, but when you look good, you feel even better.

Read on for anti-aging hacks that will take the results of your skin care regimen to the next level.

1. Sleep on Your Back

When your face is pressed against a pillow every night, sleep wrinkles form. Avoid this by sleeping on your back, which helps prevent wrinkles from forming on your neck and décolletage and is healthier for your spine. If you have trouble making this shift, try laying down for 15 minutes on your back every day to build muscle memory.  You can also put a pillow under your knees, remove the one from under your head, and hug a small pillow to your chest. Psychologically, this gives you the same feeling as if you were in the fetal position on your side.

2. Flush Puffiness Away

Puffy faces and under eye bags are unsightly signs of aging. Reduce your sodium intake and hydrate properly to help decrease puffiness. Eat antioxidant-rich produce and cut down on foods and drinks that cause inflammation and bloating. This means you need to avoid processed foods, sugar, simple carbs, wheat, dairy and alcohol as much as possible.

3. Always Wear Sunglasses

Don polarized lenses every day to block the sun’s damaging rays. This will protect your eyesight and prevent the squinting that leads to fine lines and crow’s feet.

4. Do Face Exercises

Doing facial exercises daily will tone, firm and smooth your skin and help prevent future signs of aging.

5. Drink to Your Health

It’s essential to consume lots of water to flush the toxins out of your system. Take your efforts to the next level by drinking other beneficial beverages too, such as green and white tea, low-sugar smoothies and lemon water.

6. Wear Hats When You Step Outside

If you want to avoid sun spots and hyperpigmentation, wear hats to provide as much coverage as possible. This is an absolute must if you whenever you hit the beach or spend an extended amount of time outdoors.

7. Apply Eye Cream by Tapping

Don’t rub product into the delicate skin around your eye, the skin is just too sensitive. Instead, gently tap the product with your finger.

Our world famous face exercises and advanced skin care products, coupled with these tips, will help you look and feel your best!

5 Ways to Look Younger Without Surgery 500 333 Facercise

5 Ways to Look Younger Without Surgery

facial exercisesFrom anti-aging facial exercises and wearing sunscreen to diet and exercise, there are many ways to look younger without going under the knife. Looking youthful and fabulous is a result of how well you take care of yourself. Follow a few of my tips below and you’ll look and feel more vibrant and beautiful every day without resorting to plastic surgery.

1. Do Facial Exercises Daily

One of the quickest ways to look younger without cosmetic procedures is to do your facial exercises daily. I recommend my clients do Facercise twice a day for best results. Our anti-aging facial exercises reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, tone, lift and boost circulation to give you a healthy glow. If time is an issue, there is an eight-minute superset in our Ultimate Facercise program that gets you finished faster.

2. Smile

As we age, the corners of our mouth turn down, making us look grumpy. You can combat this by doing Facercise, but also by smiling regularly. It lifts your skin, freshens up your face and helps reprogram the corners of your mouth. Plus, it makes you appear friendlier and more approachable. Smile at work, whenever you go out and even when you answer the phone—you’ll sound happier to the person on the other end.

3. Use a Retinol Product

Next to sunscreen, retinol may be the most important product in your skin care regimen. It acts as an antioxidant, wielding its power against free radicals and repairing UV damage. Retinol quickly exfoliates dead skin cells, speeds cell turnover to even out skin tone, promotes collagen production, reduces the appearance of wrinkles and unclogs pores. Try my Luxe Retinol Serum, which is gentle but extremely effective.

4. Adopt a Straight Posture

When you stand up straight, you look and feel younger and more confident. If you’re having issues with your posture, do Pilates or see a physical therapist to correct your issues. A healthy spine can improve the quality of your life tenfold.

5. Whiten Your Teeth

One of the most common telltale signs of aging is stained or yellowing teeth. With so many options at your fingertips, this should never be an issue. You can get your teeth professionally whitened, do it yourself at home and use whitening toothpaste and mouthwash on a daily basis.

Why You Should Sleep on Your Back 500 333 Facercise

Why You Should Sleep on Your Back

facial exercisesBeauty sleep is critical, but the position we sleep in is even more important. Sleeping in the wrong position can derail the results of facial exercises and cause those deep creases many call “sleep lines.” It also causes back pain and saggy breasts.  Even if you use the softest pillow you can find, it puts pressure on your face and results in a pattern of lines that shows exactly how you sleep.

Position Matters

If you want to preserve your youthful good looks and overall health, it’s essential to sleep on your back. It prevents those nasty “sleep” lines from forming around your eyes, sides of your face and nasolabial folds.

Sleeping on your back also helps you maintain facial symmetry. As we age, our skeletal structure shrinks and we lose the fat in our faces. Look at a picture of yourself when you were in your 20s wearing large earrings and then another photo of yourself in your 40s with large earrings. You will notice that your face is smaller in the photo taken in your 40s. Sleeping on your back is can help keep your face symmetrical and protect the results you work so hard to attain with facial exercises.

Sleeping on your back is also the best way for your head, neck and spine to maintain a neutral position. This is essential for those who have suffered back injuries and helps prevent future problems.

Last but not least, sleeping on your back helps avoid those chest wrinkles that are so difficult to get rid of and helps you maintain perky breasts. Sleeping on your stomach or side causes those unsightly creases and puts weight on your breast tissue, which contributes to sagginess over time. When you sleep on your back, your breasts are fully supported, which actually helps prevent that dreaded sagginess.

If you’re having trouble falling asleep this way, put a pillow under your knees and hug another to your chest. It is psychologically the same as if you were sleeping in the fetal position on your side. You can also practice by lying in bed for 15 minutes or so, on your back to develop muscle memory in that position. Just like we do our facial exercises to train our muscles, we can train our bodies for healthier sleep.

5 Foods That Boost Skin Health 500 334 Facercise

5 Foods That Boost Skin Health

faical exercisesAn excellent resolution—in addition to daily facial exercises—is to adopt an anti-aging diet. Research is constantly evolving and providing insights about the anti-inflammatory properties of certain foods. Eating a vibrant, colorful diet packed with healthy fats, water and antioxidants impacts both your skin and your waistline.

Here are some foods that boost the health of both your skin and body.

1. Red Bell Peppers

The colorful veggies are nutritional powerhouses! Red bell peppers are loaded with carotenoids and vitamin C, which boosts collagen production to promote smooth, firm skin. Carotenoids are antioxidants that gives many produce items their vivid color. They yield wide-ranging anti-inflammatory properties and can protect against the sun’s powerful UV rays and free radical damage.

2. Avocados

Avocados fill you up for hours on end while imparting fatty acids that hydrate and smooth skin. They are also rich in other anti-aging nutrients including vitamins A, C, E and K. Vitamin A helps turnover skin cells to reveal a fresh, healthy glow. Avocados are also an excellent source of the B vitamins and potassium, which combats bloat.

3. Nuts

Keep almonds and other nuts at your desk and in your purse for a satiating snack with serious anti-aging benefits. Almonds and walnuts are two of my ideal choices. Almonds are loaded with vitamin E, which has been shown to help repair skin tissue and protect against sun damage. Walnuts are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids that fight inflammation, strengthen cell membranes and impart a rosy glow.

4. Spinach

This dark leafy green is the epitome of a superfood. It’s loaded with antioxidants, magnesium, lutein and vitamins A, C, E and K. Vitamin K reduces cellular inflammation and may help eradicate dark under eye circles. Spinach is also a plant-based source of iron and has a high water content, which makes it very hydrating.

5. Papaya

Papayas are loaded with antioxidants that combat damage from environmental stressors and nutrients that boost skin’s elasticity and smooth wrinkles. This juicy fruit is an excellent source of potassium, calcium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus and vitamins A, C, K and E. Papayas also contain papain, an enzyme with some of the most potent anti-inflammatory properties you can find naturally.

A diet rich in these inflammation-fighting, anti-aging foods coupled with a regular Facercise practice will help you look younger than ever!
