Inexpensive not-so-secret tip for eternal youth

Using products that contain collagen won’t change a thing….

So what are we supposed to do?

Retin A/Vitamin A isn’t just for pimply teenagers anymore, Retin-A or AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) can help generate collagen by changing the pH level of the skin.

Retin A goes by many different names such as:
• Retin-A
• Renova
• Retin A micro
• Tretinoin

Renova is gentler, yet clinically effective for the more sensitive skin. Come on over to Serenity and they will give you a personal skin care regime.

Pretty lips all year round

the perfect pucker

The skin on our lips is fragile and simply doesn’t retain moisture as well as the skin on other body parts.  Your lips need a little more pampering in the cold winter months.

Here are some things you can do to get your lips line free, smooth and pucker ready:

  • Don’t lick your lips
  • Apply a hydrating balm that is not petroleum-based
  • Use an exfoliant once a week designed for the lips followed by a lip mask

Here is a do it yourself lip exfoliant:

  • Apply a dab of vaseline to your lips
  • Use a toothbrush and rub in a circular motion
  • Blot dry with a towl

Myths of hair loss

a-Myth: Exposure to chlorine in swimming pools will cause hair loss.

Truth: Another dive in the truth department…chlorinated water can dry the hair shafts and make them more brittle, but does not cause hair to thin or fall out.

b- Myth: Applying sunscreen to the scalp will cause hair to thin and fall out.

Truth: No! Apply away; it is very important to use sunscreen on your scalp to prevent a burn and worse.Myth:

c-Myth:  Brushing hair will help it grow?
Truth: The idea of brushing the hair 100 times a day to stimulate the scalp circulation is a fantasy. In fact, if you brush your hair too much, you may end up injuring and losing hair.

d-Myth: Braiding your hair at an exotic beach stand will cause your hair to fall out.

Truth: Short term braiding is fine; it is true, however, that certain hair styles, such as long term, tight corn-row braiding can permanently destroy follicles and cause hair loss. This is a preventable condition called traction alopecia.  I would be more worried that the brushes and combs aren’t cleaned between clients.

e-Myth: Sexy summer activities cause less hair to fall out.
Truth: Too bad for this one, huh?!?

f-Myth: Blow drying wet hair after a day at the pool or beach will cause hair to fall out.

Truth: The truth is that there is no evidence that hair dryers cause thinning hair. However, too hot or too much drying may lead to brittle hair.  You can save on electricity though!10.

Ok Boys (and Men) – You Like Botox Too?

Numbers are on the rise for men undergoing aesthetic procedures like BOTOX.  Especially when it comes to the workplace, men are boosting their confidence by undergoing a simple procedure that takes minutes, but has a great impact.

The parents of the baby boomers elected to ‘grow old gracefully’ because they really had no other choice. This generation does have a choice — and due to the popularity and safety of most cosmetic procedures, men have decided to improve their appearance as much as women do. Most men want to look refreshed and well-rested.  A common treatment area is the 11?s between the eyebrows.

Men who have cosmetic procedures are just as happy as women with the results and are just as likely to return for more.

Fillers and 40′s

Your age is less, of a deciding, factor than the signs of aging and the shape of your facial features. If you have nasolabial folds, jowls and excess loose skin, fillers are helpful in shaping the face but won’t and can’t remove excess skin nor can anything injected into the face.

Think of fillers like Radiesse, Perlane, Juvederm, Restylane and Sculptra as the least invasive and effective method of reversing facial aging.

Claire Danes Looks Great with Latisse

There have been rumors that Claire Danes had unspecified side effects from Latisse.  Not true – have you seen her lately at award shows? She looks absolutely stunning.

We’ve had very good success with Latisse.  Nearly every patient is happy with the results.  Preliminary results haven’t been released yet, but I expect that Latisse’s FDA-approved indications are going to expand.

Can anyone survive the holidays on HCG?

Absolutely! When I was faced with Christmas and New Year’s Eve party food during Round 2 of the HCG + Detox program, I heard the comments that made me think twice. You’re crazy to start HCG now! You must be really into this HCG thing or it’s messing up your appetite. It’s the holidays, what do you mean “no cake or pie”? I don’t really like sweets to begin with but I did miss the piping hot mug of hot chocolate with a mountain of whipped cream on it. Or did I? I came away with Three Really Big Thoughts on how I survived the HCG + Detox program without cheating.

  • Think of it as getting a jumpstart on your New Year’s Resolutions to lose weight, have a healthier lifestyle and save money. I had so much cash on hand from not having to buy all those crazy cheese plates and champagne that I was able to purchase all the supplies needed to do makeup for about 45 weddings. And since I am a makeup artist and esthetician, these are essential purchases. I even bought a few goodies for myself.
  • Think about when you overindulged during the holidays and how you felt later and into the next day. Are those overstuffed, bloated feelings worth revisiting? If not, then you’re already succeeding by making the changes needed to stick to your plan. I woke up on each holiday feeling better than the day before!
  • The holidays are but once a year, usually centered on food. Why not change that tradition for yourself and center your celebrations around the true meanings of these events—family and friends! Spend time with people doing people-related activities such as playing football rather than watching it, maybe some ice skating, shopping for people less fortunate than yourself, donating to charity, arranging for your relatives to meet other family members they haven’t met yet; things that connect you to others or help develop relationships. In the end you can feel good about what you are doing and others will benefit from your actions. This is a true win-win situation.

Although I missed a few important gatherings, I was able to spend time with people who made a huge impact in my life and give them something to look forward to this year. In the end, the tiny sacrifices you make while on the HCG program impact you for the rest of your life in the most positive ways. That’s bigger than any huge holiday feast, any slice of dessert or flute of champagne can give you. The gift of health and happiness is one you can use year after year.

Now that I have experienced my first holidays on HCG, I am better prepared for next time, and frankly, it wasn’t such a big deal to miss the overindulgence, the overstuffed feeling, the look of horror on my own face when I realize I spent half my rent on drinks and appetizers that I will never see again. This year, it’s all about taking care of us! Now I’ll drink to that!
