TAKE DOCTORS ADVICE - EAT YOUR VEGETABLES

It's true.. if you want the key to good skin!
Listen to what researchers found about eating your veggies.

A Good Skin Diet:
-Rich in Green and Yellow Vegetables
-Moderately High in Fats

***Green and yellow vegetables can reduce skin aging.
In a study of 716 Japanese women, there was decreased presence of crow's feet because they linked it to a high consumption of these vegetables (on average these woman ate 9 ounces, or about 3 servings, daily.)
***A Diet high in fats can improve skin elasticity.
In this same study the woman's skin elasticity was linked with there high consumption of all types of fats (about 74 grams per day).
***Eating your vegetables can provide you SPF sun protection.  
These studies also indicated the antioxidants in green and yellow vegetables, particularly beta-carotene, can act as a mild sunscreen. This may explain the green and yellow vegetables effect on wrinkling! And eating a diet moderately high in fats improves "maintenance of collagen and elastic fibers."

With that said, don't go over eating all the fat and fatty foods in your kitchen. Because in this study, the participants with the highest beneficial-fat consumption still had lower intakes than most Americans. And other studies suggest that higher amounts may adversely affect skin health, the researchers write.

An earlier Australian study found that high intake of vegetables and olive oil may be protective against sun spots on the skin.

Skin Tightening... Can it Be Done Naturally???

                Do you want expensive, scarring, and 
             painful skin tightening procedures?    

                                           Or 
                        Naturally applied products,
       that can tighten and firm your skin at home!

Why Your Skin Isn't Firm:
It starts as early as your late 20's and early 30's, where you notice changes in the texture of your skin. As the skin ages and the body endures dramatic changes like pregnancy, weight loss and weight gain, the quality and amount of collagen become poor.  That's why you want to create thick, strong, plump collagen inside so that the skin on the outside looks smooth and refined.

Things to Know:
 - If you smoke or don't protect your skin from the sun, you cause sever damage to your collagen fibers.
 - What you eat can affect minerals and vitamins needed in healthy skin production and maintenance.

Hard Facts About Skin Tightening Technologies:
Whether it be fractional lasers, infrared, or radiofrequency technologies, you're still likely to experience redness and possible swelling using one or a combination of all technologies in skin tightening procedures.  Along with the swelling and redness, comes pain and a high chance of scaring. Especially for those people with over sensitive skin!

Did You Know?
- Most skin-tightening machines claim that topical anesthetic isn't required. But that still doesn't mean the proceedure won't hurt.
- Just like any aesthetic procedure , skin-tightening treatments are not without their risks.
- While side affects are dependent on the device used, more serious side affects can include mild burns, lingering soreness and redness.


Some Natural Relief:
Daily Serum: Arbonne's Swiss Skin Care RE9 Advanced Intensive Renewal Serum... is a powerful blend of clinically proven, collagen-supporting ingredients that visibly firms and lifts skin, while diminishing the appearance of fine lines. ( 1 fl.oz. ) $58.00, http://www.swiskincare.myarbonne.com/
