Hello again!
Is it really possible to keep our skin young looking? Well...the answer is Yes it is possible to keep our skin
youthful looking and radiant as time
moves on. The way to achieve it is by
using anti-aging products that are right for our skin, in combination with
professional treatments from competent beauty professionals. This way, fine lines, wrinkles, and damage caused by
the sun can be kept at bay for a longer time.
By not providing adequate protection for
our skin, we allow the fine lines and wrinkles to make their appearance, and brown spots begin to show which along
with and rough skin areas caused by the exposure of the skin to the sun, start
to give clues about our age.
As we age, the skin itself is not producing
as much collagen, and definitely the level of hyaluronic acid production is
diminishing. Furthermore, dead skin
cells are accumulating at a faster rate,
and do not invisibly fall off as previously.
It is natural of course that as our skin is
subjected to the environmental elements, it is more likely to show aging
signs.
SO...WHAT DO WE DO?Here are the 5 important (and easy) steps we should take to not only prevent, but also to start reversing the signs of aging.
Protection
This is very easy to do if you keep in mind
that the number one enemy of the skin is the sun. ALWAYS wear your sunscreen,
and make sure it is one with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 30 or higher.
And here I would like to stress that, while we take care of our face, we
tend to forget the skin on the rest of
our body when out in the sun. your hands, arms, neck and decollete also need
protection. Try to wear lightweight long
–sleeve shirts, a hat and proper sunglasses.
Moisturize
Protection also refers to guard against the
loss of moisture which is essential for a healthy looking skin. It is of the utmost importance that we
fortify the skin using moisturizing products suitable for our skin. For even better moisture replenishment I also
advice using concentrated products such as ampoules or serums – prior to
applying the moisturizing day cream – that will give a boost to
replenishing moisture and keeping the
skin soft and supple. Here is a great moisture boosting line I recommend to my clients. AQUASPHERA LINE
Don’t
Forget your Vitamins
Especially using Vitamin A! It is not by chance that vitamin A is also
called the beauty vitamin. Regular use
of creams with vitamin A assist in collagen building in the skin which in turn
will prevent the forming of fine lines and wrinkles, and in addition, will
help lighten dark skin spots. Some of my favorite Vitamin based products can be found here. SEE VITAMIN CREAMS
Peptides
Peptides are chains of amino acids that are
the building blocks of proteins in the skin. One important protein in our skin
is collagen. Collagen gives our skin its thickness and suppleness. There are
many, many types of peptides, but for skin care, there are specific peptides
that are used widely. The most popular are collagen stimulating peptides, such
as Matrixyl;
Matrixyl has showed some amazing qualities. Clinical studies have showed that Matrixyl
tremendously increases collagen and elastin production, as well as hyaluronic
acid production in the skin. View the LADY ESTHER MATRIXYL BASED SKIN CARE LINE
Peel it Off
No matter how great the products you use
are, if you do not perform a regular peeling (once a week or once every 10
days) then the products you use will not work – at least not as efficiently as
they should. Exfoliation removes those
dead skin cells that are not removed by the regular every day cleansing of the
skin. This allows the moisturizers, as
well as all other products, to penetrate into the skin’s deeper layers, and
thus work much better. I recommend that
you follow the peeling with an ampoule (moisturizing, nutrition, etc) and then
apply a good face mask. Once you remove
the mask apply your night cream. I
guarantee you that your skin will feel and most importantly look much more
radiant and healthy looking the next day. VIEW THE PEELING PRODUCTS I RECOMMEND
