stop-smokingIn part four of our series on avoiding threats to youthful skin, we address smoking.  Along with several other risk factors, smoking leads to deep wrinkles and leathery skin.  And, the telltale signs of middle age typically start in the early 30s in the form of wrinkles around the mouth and eyes.

Cigarette smoke causes the damage that is immediately visible.  When you inhale just one puff of a cigarette, there is a tremendous inflammatory response in all organs of the body — including the skin.  Cigarette smoking depletes the skin of oxygen and vital nutrients, including vitamin C, which is critical in keeping the skin youthful, moist and plumped up.  Tobacco also acts as a vasoconstrictor, which means that it causes constriction of blood vessels, reducing the local blood flow to an area.  When blood flow to the skin is reduced, it results in a gray, pallid, lifeless and unhealthy looking complexion.

Smoking takes a particularly severe toll on women.  Women are more likely to develop “smoker’s face” than male smokers.  Smoker’s face is characterized by gray, pale and wrinkled skin.  This causes smokers to look 10 to 20 years older than their actual age.

If you already smoke, now is a good time to give it up because you can positively reverse many of the damaging effects.  Undamage Deep Reconstructive Serum aides in reversing these effects by addressing six of the major problems associated with smoking: strengthen microcapillaries, fight cascading inflammation, support collagen and elastin replacement, neutralize free radicals, supermoisturize, and prevent future damage.

Undamage contains four main active ingredients - Lanacityn, Alvadine, Canadian Willow herb extract and EUK-134. Together these ingredients rehydrate the skin, encourage cell renewal, support collagen and skin elastin, provide anti-oxidants to neutralize the free-radicals and calm irritation with anti-inflammatories.

Undamage comes with a free trial along with a 30-day money back guarantee. Try it for free and notice how quickly your face begins to look younger, smoother and softer.

stressStress ages us. In today’s environment, we deal with countless small stresses each day — traffic, deadlines, getting kids to do their homework, jury duty, handling an unenlightened boss or slow employees, disagreements with a spouse, caring for aging parents. These challenges are built into life and if each one triggers the stress response, the effect can be toxic.

The stress response causes the body to release the catabolic hormone cortisol. Cortisol is typically secreted in response to physical trauma or prolonged stress. When we have large amounts of cortisol circulating in our bloodstreams for extended periods of time, it is extremely toxic. Excess cortisol, among other things, causes thinning of the skin. It will also accelerate wrinkling and skin aging in general, and will cause the blood vessels under the skin to appear more prominent.

Although we can’t stop most of the fender bender’s of life from happening, we can learn to respond effectively to the stress response. Meditation, progressive relaxation and deep breathing are a great antidote to stress. These strategies can help stop the spiral of feelings and hormones that lead to hostility, frustration and rage.

Learning to relax or meditate can be a great boost to your mental state and the appearance of your skin. Try to establish a regular pattern — perhaps first thing in the morning or the last thing you do before going to bed at night. Like most skills, meditation gets better with practice, so don’t give up if you don’t feel particularly meditative your first time.

Below, is a Relaxation And Breathing For Meditation DVD recommended to get you started.


Remember, it’s not how much stress you have but how you handle it that matters most to your skin’s appearance and overall well-being.

new-year-resolutionsEach New Year brings a new opportunity to establish new goals.  From weight loss to making more money, there is an opportunity to reset the clock and start anew.  If you’re like me, it all sounds good for about a month or so.  But, then life happens and you look up one day and realize it’s time to try again for the next year.

Lack of motivation and accountability are two main reasons it’s hard to stick to New Year’s resolutions.  Fortunately, though, a new site has launched to not only address these factors but help make resolutions more attainable.

GoalForIt is a free online resource that allows users to track their New Year’s resolutions.  Designed with a community focus, you can set, manage and record progress of your goals.  And, if you make your profile public, you can collaborate with others.  This collaboration provides you with the much-needed accountability and motivation to actually achieve what you set out for at the start of the New Year.

For me, Looking Divine in 2009 will be my primary goal.  I’ll need to lose some weight (and keep it off), get fit and maintain a serious skincare regimen.  GoalForIt will be a good way to track my progress.

Protect Your Skin Against the SunIt is no secret that chronic over exposure to sunlight plays a role in aging skin and the development of skin cancer.  UV rays are an invisible form of radiation emitted from the sun that can penetrate and change the structure of skin cells. In fact, UV radiation is the main environmental factor that causes human skin to age.

The eyes and the delicate area around the eyes are particularly vulnerable to sun exposure.  Thus, protection from excessive sun exposure is important all year round, not just during the summer or at the beach; UV rays can cause skin damage during any season or temperature.

UV rays reach you on cloudy and hazy days as well as on bright, sunny ones.  UV rays also reflect off surfaces like water, cement, sand and snow.  While we need some sun exposure to absorb vitamin D for strong bones, it should be in moderation and outside of peak hours (10 a.m. to 4 p.m. during daylight standard time and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. during standard time) as much as possible.

Sunglasses are useful to protect the eyes from UV rays and reduce the risk of cataracts.  Sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays offer the best protection.  Wraparound sunglasses are preferred because they block UV rays from the side.

The sun can cause skin to age, wrinkle, thicken, dry out, freckle, blemish and develop a rough texture. To avoid these unsightly results, protect your skin from the sun with hats and UVA/UVB blocking sunscreen and sunglasses.

Skin NutrientsEating is something we do every day and is often a mindless action.  We blindly reach for a soda (very bad) or a diet soda (equally bad) instead of a bottle of spring water (good).  Or, we grab a bagel or Danish (equally bad) instead of healthier alternatives such as a bowl of plain yogurt and a piece of fruit.

To keep your body healthy and skin youthful, you must avoid foods that cause a rapid rise in blood sugar.  These foods include all forms of sugar, processed foods, pasta, breads, pastry, baked goods and snack foods such as rice and corn cakes, chips and pretzels.  A good indicator of a healthy food choice is whether the food was made by nature rather than a laboratory.

A proper diet that promotes a healthy body and radiant skin includes protein.  Protein is the building block of life.  Because it cannot be stored in the body, protein must be eaten every day at each meal.  Fish, shellfish, poultry, eggs and low-fat dairy products such as yogurt, Kiefer and tofu are excellent sources of high quality protein.

Next, you need low-glycemic carbs (those that will not provoke a sugar high when consumed in moderation).  These include brightly colored fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains such as old-fashioned oatmeal and legumes such as beans and lentils.

Finally, you need to include healthy fats such as omega-3 essential fatty acids found in wild salmon.  Other healthy fats include avocado, evoo, olives, nuts and seeds, all of which will help keep the skin supple and wrinkle free.

The message here is to be mindful of your food choices.  Following the food choices above are the key to health, longevity, and beautiful youthful skin.
