Healthy.. Vibrant... Youthful Skin Care... At Any Age!!!

Our bathroom cabinets are overflowing with creams, cleansers, serums, and scrubs we paid too much for. That in the end didn't work for our skin... all in the fight against aging. And now.. heading into the winter months our skin will be needing even more protection from the changing weather. So what do we need to keep our skin looking youthful, vibrant and healthy at every age.

We thought it best to turn to the experts at naturalorganicbody.com... and hear's their list for teens all the way up to 40+.

Skin Care in Our Teens

Your teenage years are all about prevention and that means, wear sunscreen. The Experts agree, it's the best way to get ahead of the aging process. Skin tends to be its oiliest at this stage in life, so look for light formulas like gels and powders. Naturalorganicbody.com recommends Benecos Loose Mineral Powder to help absorb oil, applies easily and even offers light coverage.
It’s also important to develop good skincare habits: that means thorough cleansing and no sleeping in makeup (doctors orders!). Choose a deep cleanser that takes off every last trace of residue. We happen to love Aubrey Organics EveryDay Basic Cleansing Gel for Normal/Oily Skin. Refreshing daily cleanser clears away makeup, excess oils and impurities to leave skin soft, rebalanced and healthy looking.

Skin Care in Our 20's

In your 20s, keep up the cleansing and sun protection, and take the preventative measures a step further... if you haven’t already... start using an eye cream. Organic Purist Mushroom & Peptide Firming + Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream is a firming treatment designed to combat early signs of aging.
The experts note, it's also a good time to add a little more moisture to your regimen because the skin is becoming less oily. Try a light serum like Revitalizing Therapy Serum w/Organic Rosa Mosqueta Rose Hip Seed Oil.

Skin Care in Our 30's

In your 30s, the focus should be on boosting cell turnover. Start using a retinol to increase the formation of collagen (which we lose as we age) and even skin tone. The experts at naturalorganicbody.com suggest DNA Medi Clear Vitamin C Crystals is a powerful accelerator boosts results and contributes anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant benefits. When combined with one of the DNA MediClear Line medical strength clarifiers or DNA’s anti-aging treatments. Medi-C will promote a polished, even skin tone, increase collagen production and, help rebuild healthy skin tissue.

Skin Care in Our 40's+

Don’t stray from the foundation you’ve been building on, but follow the words of the the experts and add in antioxidants. Try an all in one rejuvenating serum like the 100% Pure Red Wine Resveratrol Antioxidant Serum to fight aging on all fronts.
As skin ages it starts to dry out, so now is the time to turn to heavier moisturizer. To maintain the proper hydration levels necessarily for youthful skin try DNA Lift & Firm Botanical Gel. This unique gel blend is rich in antioxidants, stimulating and firming botanicals, moisturizing plant oils, and vitamins to balance the skin.
No matter what products you find, that work best for you, it’s important to invest in at least one good skincare item. And the experts at naturalorganicbody.com recommend it be sunscreen. Knowing all this, stock up on sun protection, and put your best face forward for years to come.

Sunscreen Doesn't Shield You From Everything!!!

The Best Defense...                                         Against Suns UV Rays...                         AND Free Radicals 

Sunscreen protects skin from the suns burning, age-accelerating, cancer-causing ultraviolet rays. But it doesn't necessarily shield you from free radicals, those unstable molecules that can damage your complexion, much as oxygen turns a peeled apple brown. Free radicals are a byproduct of exposure to UV light and other environmental factors like pollution; they break down the skins fibrous support structures collagen and elastin which triggers premature aging and even skin cancer.

So sunscreen is vital but its not enough. Even when applied properly, sunscreen blocks only half the free radicals in the skin generated from the sun, and it offers little protection against other environmental assailants, according to the experts. Antioxidants help fight free radicals, boosting the body's own defenses. You may already be taking antioxidant supplements to stay healthy; to get the benefits to your skin, use them topically as well. Topical antioxidants, particularly serums, seep into the skin and can't be rubbed off like a sunscreen can. Apply antioxidant-rich products to exposed areas of the skin before sunscreen or moisturizer.

Nothing can turn back time, but these antioxidants can help you take control of your skins future.

Vitamins C and E

The healing powers of vitamin C are actually maximized when its combined with vitamin E.

Coenzyme Q10

Found naturally in every plant and animal cell, coenzyme Q10 is essential to the process of shedding dead cells so newer ones can emerge. As we age, our essential level of coenzyme Q10 diminishes, lowering our ability to fight off free-radical scavengers.

Green and White Tea

Made from the dried leaves and tips of the Camellia sinensis plant, these teas possess powerful polyphenols that protect cells from external damage and help slow inflammation triggered by sun exposure.

Can Age Really Be.... Just A Number??!!!

       Fine Lines, Discoloration & Sagging Skin....                                              Settle in Sooner or Later....

Many people associate age with wrinkles.... but it's a lack of collagen and elasticity that causes a droopy jaw line or folds around the mouth that can make you look older even without any wrinkles.

Older skin becomes more like dough: It doesn’t bounce back into place as readily, and gravity takes its toll, causing drooping jowls, saggy cheeks and a hollow look under the eyes. 

But don’t fear surgery isn't your only option. So before you start thinking scalpel, explore these short- and long-term solutions.

Pour on the Peptides

When collagen breaks down, it naturally forms amino acid linked peptides, which let the body know it should produce more collagen. This hot Anti-Aging external application of peptides tricks the body into making more.

Leverage your Lashes

Curling lashes and/or using a luxe mascara open up the eyes for a more youthful appearance. Replace eyelash curler sponges every six months, so you don’t damage or pull out existing lashes.

Caffeinate your Eye Cream

Caffeine is known to constrict the blood vessels, which reduces puffiness. It’s often applied with roller ball applicators that can help promote the movement of excess fluid through a massaging mechanism. For rollerless creams, apply with your ring finger in gentle circular motions.

Bond with Blush
Many women apply blush too high on their cheeks. You don’t want color on the boniest part of your cheeks. Instead, blush should be applied on the apples of your cheeks, leaving one fingertip-width between the color and your nose. Note: a cream blush will impart a more dewy, youthful glow to the face.

Be Ready for Prime Time

Cosmetic primer helps minimize pores, which get larger with age, and keeps foundation in place. Look for a hydrating one that prevents makeup from drying out and settling in fine lines. Light reflective pigments diffuse the look of lines and wrinkles and make skin instantly luminous, brighter, healthier and glowing.

Slather on Sunscreen
The sun’s UVA rays destroy collagen, so your daily sunscreen should offer broad-spectrum protection. if you have any redness in your skin, look for a sunscreen with the mineral zinc oxide, which deflects heat as well as rays and is like having millions of crushed mirrors on your face that reflect the light.

Fight Crow's Feet One Line at a Time

How to Wipe the Smile Lines off Your Face

Often called laugh lines, these sometimes unsightly crow’s feet, are the small creases and wrinkles that form around the outer corners of the eyes. Increased by factors like; fatigue, aging, sun exposure, and smoking. The skin becomes dried out and loses its elasticity, making it more prone to stretching and wrinkling over time.

It's not a permanent fact of life though. Infact, you can fight crow’s feet with the use of specialized cosmetic products, procedures, as well as simple lifestyle changes.

Let's start with Lifestyle Changes. Sometimes, the most simplest things are the ones that really work. Here are 5 that can help diminish crow’s feet. 

• Get an adequate amount of sleep
• Drink plenty of water
• Eat foods rich in antioxidants
• Do not smoke
• Always wear sunscreen outdoors

Next, the skin around your eye area is actually thinner and more delicate than the rest of your face. It needs extra care and sensitivity. To reduce the appearance of crow’s feet, apply a product with nutrient-rich ingredients that replenish and restore your skin’s elasticity by boosting collagen production and increasing cell turnover while stimulating elastins. Collagen and elastins are skin proteins that keep your skin soft and smooth. An effective eye cream will go deeper than the surface in order to heal your skin at the cellular level.

Combining the best of nature and cutting edge science for naturally firming, lifting and moisturizing of the eyes, True Natural Spa Eyebright Peptide Serum uses collagen enhancing peptides to reduce puffiness and fine lines around the delicate eye area. Significantly lighten dark circles with the power of Arbutin, a natural skin brightener. Reduce puffiness and tighten to look refreshed with soothing cucumber extract and Flavonoids.
