How far will people go when it comes to turning back the hands of time? Some opt for a complete surgical “re-do”. Others use Frownies, the $10 “tape the skin in place” solution.
In between those extremes are many choices; the easiest and most cost effective is a superior skin care regime combined with monthly facials. A professional facial, including a peel and mask, is a simple and affordable luxury that gives both immediate and cumulative results.
Add to that the latest technological breakthrough; the nanosome complex delivery system. Nanosome Oxygen is an innovative tool to introduce oxygen into the upper skin layers to renew skin cells and decrease the skin-aging process.
Of course excellent skin care is only part of the anti-aging package. Good nutrition is essential. Eating foods known to improve skin texture, such as blueberries and salmon, do much to maintain a healthy complexion.
Scientists are touting fish oils with omega 3 as one of the best “skin foods”. They reduce wrinkles, promote collagen repair, are anti-inflammatory and make skin stronger and more elastic. A side benefit is clearer thinking and a better mood.
Physical exercise and adequate sleep are vital to a radiant complexion. So is sun protection. And please don’t forget water. Hydration is the most important gift you can give your skin. So drink pure water every day: eight glasses or more. Take care of your “whole” self and it will be reflected on your face.
Is it possible to turn back the hands of time? The answer is YES! Improving your face is a gradual process. Be patient. Persistence is rewarded with results. Make a commitment to yourself and stick to your plan. Reap the benefits. Enjoy being the “best you can be” for the rest of your life!
