Here’s what you need to know to prolong the life of youthful and smooth looking skin:

Know what to expect

Between the ages of 21 and 35 that blooming youthfulness has started to wane. A few fine lines and a little puffiness will appear around the eyes. The hands and neck might start to develop a few wrinkles. This is the right time to assess your lifestyle and diet choices that are affecting your skin. Skin care should involve:

• Gentle but thorough cleansing
• Nourishing and hydrating
• Protection from the suns UV rays

Between the ages of 36 and 50 the elastic fibers begin to degenerate and they’ll be a lot more sagging and drooping going on, especially around the jaw line. More lines will appear on the cheeks and mouth. Crow’s feet will become more established.

Between the ages of 50 and 65 the cheekbones will become more noticeable as the skin thins. The neck and décolletage will start to fold and crepe.

From 66 years onwards there will be a lot more creases, lines and wrinkles. The color of the skin will change and sun spots and patches will appear.

Cut these from your lifestyle

By eating well, attending to good skin care practice and exercising regularly the skin’s aging process can be delayed and you can even turn back time for a more youthful complexion.

Before we move into how you can help your skin look good, it’s essential  that you cut these bad habits from your lifestyle:

• Lack of sleep
• An unbalanced diet (fruit, vegetables and nutrients are essential)

• Smoking
• Dehydration caused by not drinking enough water
• Stress
• Not getting enough oxygen from shallow breathing and/or no exercise
• Indoor heating and air conditioning can play havoc, keep drinking extra water to compensate and use a good hydrating moisturizer
• And stop going outside without wearing a foundation that has a UV sun protector

Practice good skin care habits

Aging skin needs to be cleansed well. With dirt, dust and makeup clogging pores – it’s not going to do skin any good at all. If you have dry skin, try a cream or milk cleanser, and for oily sensitive skin try Oligodermie Cleansing Foam as it contains coconut oil to prevent irritation. Ensure that you wash your skin in tepid water as extremes of hot or cold can cause broken capillaries which will only add to the aging.

When it comes to moisturizing, this should be the top priority. Mature skin needs help in producing collagen (what children have in their skin that makes it so youthful) so go for products that contain hyaluronic acid such as Nano Collagen Cream.

Alpha hydroxy acids and retinoids will help the skin to regenerate and therefore will reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Products such as GM Collin’s Retinol Advanced Cream works by lifting the skin and diminishing signs of aging and can reduce wrinkles and lines by up to 98%.  Sticking to a regular and consistent skin care routine will pay off.

As skin ages, it benefits more from exfoliation. GM Collin’s Intensive Exfoliating Gel is ideal for all skin types and leaves the skin with a more youthful and finer complexion. It contains Subtilisin enzyme which will carry water and moisture deeper into your skin.

By giving your skin some protection, tender care and with the use of quality and well researched skin care products you’ll be able to stop time from spoiling your complexion and your looks.

The Micro Vibrations helps to stimulate the cells and helps give your skin a rejuvenated feel to it. The photon light, which is actually a natural light, targets the skin parts that have been damaged (such as pigmentation). The green light helps heal pigmentation areas much quicker than the alternatives.

The Green LED Light of the Ultrasound Massager also helps with many areas of your skin:

• If you have dark skin, it helps give your skin a lighter appearance.

These benefits make the Ultrasound Massager coupled with the Green LED light a must-have for any beauty regime. While the beginning price might be a bit steep (we have it for absolutely cheap at $180!) … it it something that you can use for years and years to come.

Invest in your skin and you’ll be reaping the results for years to come.

Drink a lot of water

Drink a lot of water or herbal tea to hydrate your skin. Your skin will become much drier and course during the winter months and drinking water will help prevent this. If it’s too cold to drink water, then make yourself a nice cup of herbal tea. It gets the job done and keeps you warm.

Exfoliate

If you don’t exfoliate on a regular basis then you should really start in winter. Try to exfoliate at least one time a week and then moisturize. The reason for needing to exfoliate once a week is that your dead skin cells start to build up. By exfoliating you’ll be getting rid of those dead skin cells and making your skin feel much softer.

Use an oil based moisturizer

In order to protect your skin from any moisture loss from the cold, choose a moisturizer that is in a ointment form. It ideally should contain about eighty percent oil. During winter normal lotions and creams dry out the skin instead of keeping them nice and soft.

Wear gloves

Don’t let your hands brave the cold. Wear gloves to protect them from the cold and keep them soft.

These four tips will help your skin brave the winter months and keep them healthy and glowing.

Our skin is our biggest asset. If our skin is looking dull and lifeless, no matter what we try or do to cover it up – it won’t help. For this reason it’s imperative to look after our skin while we’re young so that we don’t need to struggle with it when we’re older. We’re going to cover the top five reasons your skin is looking dull and lifeless and by knowing this factors you can now change them.

Smoking
Smoking is one of the biggest reasons that women have wrinkles. Smoking actually actively promotes wrinkles. Nicotine manages to narrow your blood vessels, reducing the flow of blood on your skin. It also deprives your skin cells from oxygen.

Alcohol
Alcohol is one of the biggest reasons that your skin is dehydrated. Alcohol is diuretic and it literally dehydrates your body. Due to alcohol our face can become puffier and our under eyes become darker. When you drink too much, our bodies will divert our oxygen, nutrients and blood flow away from our skin so that it can repair our vital organs. Scary, huh?

Not enough sleep
Stop skimping out on sleep! Your skin feels and looks better after a nice, peaceful nights sleep. The more you deprive yourself from sleep, the more you’re actually harming your skin.

Too much sun
While the sun is beautiful and it’s lovely to spend a few hours every day tanning… the sun really does a lot of damage to your skin. Read more information about how the sun does damage to your skin in a blog post we wrote recently. The blog post can be found here.

These five reasons can play a massive part of why your skin is looking dull and lifeless. Make sure that you look after your skin that it can look healthy, bright and firm for many years to come.

SkinRejuvenx we’re all about using natural remedies with fantastic products to make your skin look as beautiful as possible. One of the best ways to achieve this is to eat your way to good skin. While this isn’t the only solution these power foods will assist your skin in looking younger, firmer and brighter.

Berries: It doesn’t matter what sort of berries they are.. they are probably great for you. Berries are generally chock-full of antioxidants and they even neutralize free radicals that can do a significant amount of damage to your skin. They help your body produce collagen so after eating them it will help your skin feel smooth and firm. Berries are also stuffed with Vitamin E and Vitamin C.

High-Water Content Food: If you’ve got dry, dehydrated skin then one of the best remedies is to devour high-water content food. These foods can be watermelon, cucumbers, melons, apples and even celery. They are extremely hydrating for your skin. By hydrating your skin, you’ll be keeping away wrinkles and looking fresh every single day.

Spinach: Popeye wasn’t lying when he said that Spinach was going to make you healthy and strong. It might not be quite in the literal sense but it definitely does wonders for your skin. Spinach has a huge amount of lutein in it. Lutein keeps our eyes bright and healthy. Spinach is also packed with vitamins such as folate… this vitamin helps produce new cells such as red blood cells.

Green Tea: While this technically isn’t a food – it should definitely be on your list of things to drink. Green tea has a huge amount of Epigallocatechin-3-gallate which is absolutely loved by the skin. You can use green tea topically or internally which also makes it extremely versatile.

If you want to change your skin, start changing the foods you’re eating. That will make all of the difference.

Wrinkles

The sun is one of the biggest reasons for your wrinkles. Studies have shown that up to 80% of all skin aging is actually caused by the sun. This is huge when you think about all of the other environmental factors we have to consider in this work as well. UVA rays actually breaks down the collagen in your skin. By breaking down the collagen it results in masses of small wrinkles on your skin.

Sun Spots

We’ve all had them. We’ve spent too much time in the sun and then suddenly we notice small spots on our face or body. These are called sun spots and is actually sign of skin damage. Sun spots, also known as freckles, can be found on either the legs, face or back of the hand.

Sun Tanning

In the pursuit of beauty we’re all running around trying to become as tanned as possible. Don’t! Experts agree that tanning is actually a sign that your skin is damaged. A tan is actually a sort of protection that your skin creates so that your skin won’t suffer anymore damage from any UV rays.

When it comes to the sun it’s better to be safe than sorry. Use a lot of sun tan lotion on your face and body whenever you leave your house. Make sure to purchase day creams with built in protection so that you’re always covered.

If you’ve ever seen the word ‘cosmeceuticals’ – then you might know what they are. Cosmeceuticals are functional cosmetics. They are both a drug and a cosmetic. For example, AHA is both a drug and a cosmetic. It’s definition is dependent upon how it is described on the label – ‘exfoliation’ is a cosmetic process whereas ‘peeling’ is a drug process.

One of the most effective cosmeceuticals available is the Swiss Apple Stem Cell serum. This product is currently dominating the world of cosmetics and doesn’t look to be leaving it’s position fast. Stem cells are known for their ability to cure any disease, even though they may be frowned upon by some as too new fangled.

In 2008 a Swiss laboratory succeeded in extracting stem cells from an apple. When these were applied to human skin, a solution of just 1% apple stem cells boosted skin cell production by a staggering 80%. More tests were undertaken with amazing results – twice a day application reduced crow’s feet by 8% after the fourth night, and 15% after 4 weeks. It can also soften and reduce rough patches, leave a healthy glow and revitalize dull aging skin in just 28 days.  This is why apple stem cell is dominating the cosmetic world.

Palacia Skin Care sources a variety of cosmeceuticals from www.cosmaprof.net – a world renowned cosmeceutical manufacturer. Our serums are blended in many countries, including Bangkok of Thailand,  New York of USA and Italy.  Our Swiss Apple Stem Cell Serum is blended in Manhattan, New York, even though the active ingredients are actually from Switzerland.  All of our products are in line with FDA requirements and our facilities are ISO 9001 and GMP certified. Our cosmeceutical serums have $1000,000 product liability insurance from Evansville Insurance Co of the United States.

Other cosmeceuticals that we carry are AHA, Micro Collagen 20%, Vitamin C 10% and Vitamin C 20%, amongst others. If you would like to find out more about how our cosmeceuticals can help rejuvenate and improve your skin, visit our www.palaciaskincare.com site.

The fundamental question is whether you can whiten or remove age spots with AHA? Yes, it is possible under certain circumstances. AHA functions as a remover of dead cells only. It doesn’t work on spots that are not the formation of dead cells. An example of dead cell is age spot, AHA can be effective on age spot but not general dark spot which come from melanine disorder and stress.

Vitamin C 20%: Then what should be used to eliminate or remove pigmentations that are not formed within dead skin cells? I would recommend Vitamin C 20% for the general and large dark area. If you have pigmentations that are more than 1″x1″ .and it is usually covered by foundations, I will definitely try Vitamin C 20% in the morning before you put foundation. Give one week, and see what happens.

Many people have uneven dark area due to stress from their life. Those dark areas are not dead cells. You should not use AHA. Please use Vitamin C 20%. The Vitamin C 20% that we have is very potent, so no need to use it too much.

Another skincare product that can be used to eliminate dark spots is our Swiss Apple Stem Cell. I have a 1″x1″ dark spot on my face, to fix it, I had been to many places, including a laser clinic and dermatologist offices, It did not work. A week ago, I started to put Swiss Apple Stem Cell. Yes, the dark spot is being lightened. According to an article (University of Pennsylavnia), it may take six months to comeplely get rid of spots like mine, but I lightened it with our Swiss Apple Stem Cell within a month.
What am I trying to say is there are many different types of pigmentations. Products should be chosen depends on skin condition and reasons of spot formation. Sometimes it will take several experiences before finding the answer to your skin concerns.

With all of the pollution hitting our skins on a daily basis, it’s no wonder that we’re getting wrinkles younger and younger. To counter this, a Microdermabrasion treatment was created to help your skin feel and look younger. Microdermabrasion with diamond tips is a treatment that is noninvasive and isn’t a chemical treatment. By exfoliating skin without spraying on micro crystals to remove the top layer of dead skin cells, it helps to reveal young, healthy-looking skin. However, there are also benefits of having this treatment performed on your skin.

What Does Microdermabrasion Treatment Do In General?

Microdermabrasion treatments helps the following type of skin problems: aging skin, wrinkles, fine lines or laugh lines, any brown spots or pigmentation your skin might have, acne scars, acne skin and enlarged pores. It can also help clear up dull skin, congested skin, blemished skin, devitalized skin and abnormally thickened skin. These problems can be very embarrassing for women and this is the perfect solution to get rid of these problems.

How Does Microdermabrasion Work?

By having a microdermabrasion done it will decrease the unsightly effects on your skin and also encourage the production of new skin cells underneath the first later of the skin, these skin cells will have higher numbers of elastin and collagen. This bottom layer of new skin cells will actually visibly improve the appearance of your skin.

Why Chose Diamond Peel Microdermabrasion Treatment?

Another big benefit that a lot of people love is the fact that Diamond Peel Microdermabrasion is much gentler on your skin than chemical peels and dermabrasion. Due to the fact that the treatment is non-invasive on your skin, it makes the treatment much more popular. The results are also much quicker when using this treatment.
