A Younger You

There are certain top-selling products in the skin care industry that do wonders to the skin, providing you with better, more radiant looking skin.

Consider treating the skin not only from the outside, but from the inside as well. Imedeen Prime Renewal is flying off the shelves these days due to the amazing visual results. This supplement helps to rebuild mature or post-menopausal skin.

We’ve all heard the hype about vitamin C; well it's true, vitamin C can truly transform the skin. SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic combines not only vitamin C but other antioxidants like vitamin E and ferulic acid to rejuvenate the skin and give you a more healthy appearance.

SkinMedica TNS Recovery Complex contains proteins and amino acids and has been said to be the “next best thing to surgery.” This product address issues like fine lines, wrinkles and crows feet.

Number one on your regimen list should be sun protection! Sun protection is the most important and vital step to preventing premature aging. La Roche-Posay Anthelios SX fights both UVA and UVB damage.

Don’t forget your targeted treatment products like Dermalogica Multivitamin Power Firm for the eye and lip areas. Vitamins A, C and E reduce wrinkles not only in the eye area but around the lips as well.

Vitamin C – How much is too much?

Vitamin C, as we know, is an excellent antioxidant and a must have in our skin care routine. But many wonder, is too much, well, too much?

The benefits of vitamin C are many. Vitamin C simulates the production of collagen and elastin – components of the skin that break down as we age. Vitamin C helps to fight off reactive oxygen species, also known as free radicals. Vitamin C helps to increase photo-protection, address fine lines and wrinkles and brings clarity to the skin.

Numerous studies have been done on vitamin C and it is in many cosmeceuticals worldwide, but many of the current studies show that the skin utilizes and benefits the most from vitamin C concentrations between 15-20%. Consider products like SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic or Cellex-C High Potency Serum.

The eye area also benefits from vitamin C; however, because the eye area is also more delicate than the rest of the skin, less vitamin C should be used in this area. Experts recommend we use between 7-10% around the eye area to eliminate the possibility of irritation.

Skin that is acclimated to vitamin C can use higher concentrations of this active, these recommendations are simply best for those that are initially using vitamin C or have sensitive skin.

Winter Lip Protection

Fall and winter seasons can bring on harsh weather for the skin, particularly for the lips, as they are commonly neglected. Caring for the lips is essential, especially if you want them to stay full and beautiful.

Exfoliating the lips is best to do 1-2 times weekly; I suggest gentle products like Pevonia Youthful Lip Retinol Serum or Yonka Alpha Contour.

In addition to regular exfoliation, hydrating the lips will keep them from becoming chapped and dry during the cold weather. Peptide Lip Therapy from PCA Skin provides anti-aging benefits as well as protection against free radical damage. La Roche-Posay Ceralip Lip Repair Cream enriches the lips with lipids. this product works especially well for sensitive skin and Accutane users.

Voluptuous Hair

Tired of flat, lifeless hair? Try Fioravanti Volumizing Shampoo from Rene Furterer to revive your roots. A combination of fioravanti extract and fruit acids creates a shine-promoting elixir. Get volume while detangling and adding luster to your strands.

Volumize times two with Rene Furterer Fioravanti Detangling Cream Rinse. Fioravanti extract and karite soften brittle and limp hair while strengthening your hair.

Finish your look by spraying Rene Furterer Finishing Hair Spray. This spritz will hold your luminous hair all day.

Conceal and Correct

Covering up imperfections is only a temporary fix; why not correct the problem while concealing it? Colorescience Line Tamer hides imperfections like redness, uneven skin tone, large pores and hyperpigmentation while active ingredients tea tree, lavender and tangerine extract soothe redness and protect the skin from free radical damage.

Colorescience Wild to Mild reduces wrinkles and fine lines while giving the skin a healthy, natural glow. Patented rice peptides calm inflammation and prevent the breakdown of collagen.

Colorescience Real Menerals Cooling Skin Soother is ideal for men. The cooling formula is address burning and itching often associated with shaving while the minerals like clary sage and lemongrass reduce ingrown hairs. The light tint conceals skin issues like breakouts and redness.

Beneficial Bar Soap

You’ve read it in more than one place – bar soap is bad for the skin. Not true! Certain types of bar soap can actually be quite beneficial to the skin. Over time, bar soap has evolved. Nowadays bar soap has been formulated to be pH balanced and contains ingredients that address skin concerns and skin conditions.

Cetaphil Antibacterial Gentle Cleansing Bar works well for acneic skin types or for those who experience occasional breakouts. Active ingredient triclosan diminishes surface bacteria while reducing excess sebum.

Gently exfoliate, while cleansing with Phytomer Seaweed Soap. Natural marine elements resurface and soften the skin.

Relief for Dry Body

Dry skin on the body not only looks bad, but causes irritation and discomfort as well. Dry skin leads to skin disorders such as eczema, which can be difficult to deal with. Dry skin can be caused by the environment, hot water, climate changes and changes in diet.

Proper hydration and moisture are essential. Consider the HydraContinue Moisturizing Body Milk by Phytomer. Its lightweight formula is great for everyday use, yet still provides vital moisture to the skin cells. For highly reactive and sensitive skin try the Phytomer Accept Neutralizing Body Lotion.

Newborns and young ones also experience severely dry skin. Heal chapped and parched skin with Mustela Stelatopia Moisturizing Cream. This is ideal for eczema-prone skin, yet gentle enough for babies.

How about something organic for that dry body? I recommend Eminence Naseberry Body Lotion to smooth and restore skin. Organically grown ingredients and powerful antioxidants fight free radical damage.

Nouriva Repair Moisturizing Cream is perfect for extremely dry skin and also for mature skin types as it is very healing as well.

Looking for fuller, longer more dramatic eyelashes? Certain factors contribute to brittle and broken lashes like the use of mascara and incorrectly removing your mascara, rubbing of the eye area and an unhealthy diet.
