Stop Washing Your Face

In spite of your best efforts, your skin gets a little drier every year. You may see lines and wrinkles forming. And your skin might not be as soft and smooth as it used to be.

You do everything the experts say you should. You cleanse your skin… apply toner… moisturize. But it just isn’t enough to reduce the appearance of aging.

In my opinion, all that cleansing, toning and moisturizing may be accelerating the effects of aging. Because most “beauty products” aren’t good for your skin. They’re loaded with harsh chemicals.

How I Feed My Face

I love to eat delicious, nutritious food. It makes me feel fantastic when I get to eat the foods I love and give myself all the nutrients I need to keep aging backwards… from the inside.

But I feed myself on the outside, too.

Here’s what I mean: As you age, your skin starts losing moisture and its ability to hold on to the nutrients that help keep your skin smooth and taut.

Stress Busting Skin Care Tips

Feeling stressed? Your skin may be feeling it, too. In fact, stress is one of the most common factors that cause your skin and body to age.

Chronic stress has been proven to affect your health negatively.1 It can also accelerate the aging of your cells because your telomeres shorten at the end of chromosomes in your DNA.

Telomeres are found on each DNA strand in your skin cells. These telomeres get shorter every time a cell divides. If you have shorter telomeres, that means you have older skin cells. This is usually when you’ll start seeing fine lines and wrinkles.

What’s Lurking in Your Moisturizer?

Some of the most common ingredients I see in “designer” cosmetics are actually chemicals – polysorbates, propylene glycol, sodium laurel, and parabens.

What you may not know is that these expensive ingredients are actually the same dangerous chemicals listed under “hazardous materials” on warning signs. Some of these chemicals even come from crude oil and petroleum! They definitely shouldn’t be used in cosmetics!

Ingredients like parabens have been linked with breast cancer1, polysorbates can cause cancer; propylene glycol can cause liver and kidney abnormalities; and sodium laurel (or lauryl sulfate) can increase the risk of cancer when used with other chemical ingredients. That’s hardly what you’d call “protective” skin care.

1. Water, and…
2. Good nutrition

But there’s a problem. As you age, your skin loses the ability to hold water and take in nutrients. That leads to dry, sagging skin.

Here’s the good news:

You simply need an effective way to keep water in your cells and get more of the nutrients you need.

Here at my clinic, I use a rejuvenating formula that restores youthful skin, without the chemicals that pollute your skin.

Here’s how it works…

How do you approach your skin care regimen? Most people care for their skin in one of two ways.

Maybe you obsess over every little line, pore and blemish. And stock your medicine cabinet with all the latest beauty potions and concoctions. Or maybe you take the minimalist approach and bump skin care to the bottom of your to-do list by using any product you pick up at the supermarket.

Either way, skin care can be pretty complicated! But it doesn’t have to be…
