Energize your Skin at home! Modalities & Skincare you can incorporate in your routine to obtain a more Youthful you.
As we age, collagen and elastin production slow down. Years in the sun and bad habits eventually begin to show. If you are lucky you can get through your 40’s, but, oh wait until menopause kicks in ~ do not even get me started! Lifestyle choices play a key role in how someone ages as well. Smoking, drinking, and stress to name a few. But aging is a part of life. We can throw up our hands OR we can age gracefully. Let’s quickly point out the obvious steps to take. Get your Vitamin D from the sun, but not when the UV rays are strong. If not avoidable, wear a hat, use an umbrella and a safe sunscreen. Sun exposure is the #1 reason why we age. Exercise, increase water intake with electrolytes so you just don’t pee it out and reduce stress levels. Now, what can you do at home… We want to stimulate the Dermis, a deeper layer of our skin, not the surface. You want to use products and modalities that are designed to go deep down to stimulate the fibroblasts, the cells that produce collagen and elastin. So here goes… Vitamin A or any derivative. Starting out slow, as it can dry out the skin. Retinaldehyde is the gentlest. But you can also use a plant-based version such as Bakuchiol OR Peptides that mimic what Vitamin A can do ~ turn over the skin to erase fine lines and reveal a more youthful appearance. Red light therapy... Developed by Nasa to grow plants then studied to proper parameters that are known to penetrate the dermis. Give it some time, it will plump the skin and give it a glow. Microcurrent… Used for pain relief and muscle reeducation and the latter studied and published in the 1970’s. Instant lift and will energize the skin to appear more youthful! I have since added Nanocurrent which is more of a surface current. It refines skin texture, and I am loving the results! Everything listed is noninvasive. It takes some time and effort, but I can guarantee you with time and patience the results you will see will pay off!
