Better Than Botox

What’s better than Botox? I found something almost everyone has ignored. And it has been proven to improve your smile more than Botox.
A recent study has gotten a lot of publicity by showing that it did a better job of smoothing crow’s feet – those “smile wrinkles” around the corners of the eye – than Botox did.
But I dug a little deeper and discovered something that media reports missed.

Antioxidants have certainly generated a buzz in the media lately. And for good reason. These powerful defenders give your skin the protection it needs to fight against free radicals on a day-to-day basis.
And this protection is exactly what you need to keep your skin smooth and firm — no matter what your age. In fact, antioxidants could be the reason why one 50-year-old woman can have smooth skin and another can have wrinkles that make her look many years older.

Honey reminds me of romance. I call my dearest friends honey when I want to remind them how sweet they are to me.
But I also use honey for healing.
Ayurvedic practitioners in India have used honey for nearly 5,000 years.
Ayurveda is a holistic health system that evolved in ancient India. The term combines two Sanskrit words to mean “knowledge of life.” It’s the oldest system of medicine in the world. And it is still practiced widely in India, where the government recognizes it.

The Beauty of Vitamin C Revealed

Vitamin C skin-care products are all the rage today. These products are advertised to clarify the skin using protective antioxidants for an instant glow. The use of topical vitamin C is supposed to reduce fine lines, wrinkles and sunspots and support healthy skin regeneration.
Vitamin C applied topically has been proven to protect the skin from damaging free radicals as a result of sun exposure. Vitamin C will support the healthy structure of the skin to help your complexion age naturally and rejuvenate skin that has already been damaged by outside elements.1
While these are wonderful benefits that so many of us are looking for in anti-aging skin care, topical vitamin C products pose one little-known issue. Vitamin C as a product ingredient is highly unstable. That doesn’t mean that topical vitamin C can’t benefit your skin, but it can quickly oxidize when exposed to air over and over again.
Fashion Focus for Your Skin

Commercial products like nourishing coconut milk shampoo, Moroccan argan oil conditioner, and acai body lotion that advertise to be certified organic sound amazing. Until you turn most of the bottles over.
Instead of being 100% organic the real list of ingredients often reads: glycol sterate, glycerin, behentrimonium chloride and steric acid. The only thing “organic” about those ingredients is the petroleum that has been there since the dinosaurs.
What if you didn’t decide to take a closer look?
Organic ingredients have become the latest fashion in marketing. It has even crossed over into our pet supplies.
Shopping for organic products has become like going to the dollar store to buy a mop — which my husband did last weekend. And the first time he used it, it broke.
I’ve decided to help right this wrong and ease you into the highest fashion in organic skin care for the upcoming season.

Wrinkles aren’t just about getting older. Wrinkles can be a sign of more serious inner issues, like dehydration or even a vitamin or mineral deficiency.
When your body isn’t getting the nutrients it needs, your skin will suffer. In many cases, skin begins to wrinkle before its time because it’s starved for nutrition!
By focusing on your inner health, you can improve your appearance. Instead of searching for the perfect anti-aging product to transform your skin, eating fresh, nutritious, and delicious foods will improve your inner health and the quality of your skin at the same time.
