You Deserve Perfect Skin and a Youthful Appearance

Every woman deserves to have perfect skin . . . so, wouldn't it be great if the world always saw the youthful and vivacious woman with perfect, young-looking skin? Let's get started right now to shape and change those minor things that lead to signs of aging.

Ready to start turning back the hands of time? Here are five simple tips to help you and your skin look and feel younger.

1. Sit Up Straight

"People with good posture are seen as younger, more confident, and happier than those who slouch, round their shoulders, or tilt to one side," according to Paul D'Arezzo, MD, a certified emergency physician in Colorado Springs, CO. You'll not only look better, you'll feel better too! Good posture prevents muscle strain and can help eliminate tension headaches caused by strain on the neck. Think about taking a regular yoga or Pilates class to strengthen core muscles in your abdomen, pelvis, and lower back. If you spend long hours seated at your desk, remember to create several brief exercises to do at regular breaks to relax, stretch and firm your muscles.

2. Darken and Emphasize Your Brows

"When brows are thin and light, they make your features disappear, adding years to even the youngest looking face," says Damone Roberts, a celebrity eyebrow artist and costar of TLC's 10 Years Younger. Cleanse your face in the morning, followed by your moisturizer. Then fill in sparse spots in your brow to create the illusion of thickness. We associate youthfulness and confidence with darker, fuller brows.

3. Follow A Daily Skin Care Routine

Caring for your skin twice a day can reverse the effects of time by tightening, moisturizing and lifting the dermis of your skin. Choose a cleanser specifically for your skin type along with a moisturizer to support your skin through the day. Don't forget to apply a toxic free SPF day cream to protect against UVA/UVB rays throughout the day. Cleansing and moisturizing again before bed will support your skin as it rejuvenates during the night. . .leaving you with perfect, radiant skin.

4. Stop Smoking

Smoking can shorten a woman's life by 14 1/2 years, according to the CDC. It also causes excessive wrinkling around the eyes and mouth, along with a grayish complexion. "Your skin may be able to repair itself somewhat from the damage," says Patricia Farris, MD, an assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Tulane University. Using organic skin care products, which are rich in nutrients, will help restore the glow and radiance to your skin.

5. Brighten Your Smile

Our smiles are a beacon for impressions about age. Since enamel wears over time and darkens, a dull colored smile is connected with age. A smile that is bright white is connected with youth and good health. Many of us have lifestyle habits that affect the way our teeth appear to others - including habits which stain our teeth like drinking coffee, red wine, tea, etc. Not only do we need to cut back the bad habits, but a trip to the dentist to have teeth professionally cleaned is important to overall health. And don't forget the daily brushing and flossing to keep your teeth white and healthy.

Have You Considered Having Smartlipo During Your Lunch Break?

Have you heard of Smartlipo? If you haven't, then quite simply you are missing out on one of hottest developments in cosmetic surgery!

What is Smartlipo?

Smartlipo is a new fat reduction treatment which has recently been approved by the FDA in the US and has met European CE safety standards. Smartlipo basically involves using a laser which is inserted into the skin through a small cannula to dissolve fat cells and tighten surrounding skin.
Why is smartlipo causing such a buzz?

Until now, liposuction has been the main form of cosmetic surgery treatment to remove excess fat around the body. The main advantage of Smartlipo over liposuction being that it is a minimally invasive procedure. Liposuction generally involves the patient having surgery under general anaesthesia and requires considerable recovery time post operation. In comparison, Smartlipo requires only a local anaesthetic and a small cannula being inserted into the skin.

Depending on how many areas are treated, the treatment usually lasts between one and two hours but can sometimes take as little as 20 minutes. However, the key separating factor between both types of treatment being their recovery times.

After Smartlipo, a patient can generally go home straight away, and cases of people going straight back to work are not also unheard of.

In comparison, liposuction requires considerable post recovery time, with it being recommended that the patient take at least 7 - 10 days off work and allow for a similar time period before stitches can be removed.

Has Smartlipo resulted in the end of Liposuction?

Smartlipo is effective at treating smaller areas of the body such as double chins and love handles. It is not suitable for treating obesity for which liposuction is still definitely the best cosmetic surgery option.

Does Smartlipo hurt?

Media coverage of liposuction through television shows such as 'Extreme Makeover' have resulted in it appearing to be quite an aggressive procedure which has put some people off it altogether, despite this not really being the case. However it is a much less invasive and gentler procedure than liposuction as it only requires a very fine and flexible cannula to be inserted into the skin. There may be some mild tenderness experienced after the procedure but generally no pain should be experienced with most people able to carry on with their basic daily activities almost immediately. Smartlipo also does not require any stitches.
