 The quest for women to maintain their youthful look and defy age successfully has been ongoing for thousands of years. There are many potions and concoctions that claim to reduce or prevent wrinkles and sagging skin in stores around the world. Age defying skin care products range from low cost home treatments to costly products which yield debatable end results.
In both men and women, there are several causes as to why our skin ages. Skin care experts cannot pin-point exactly when a person’s skin will age, but certain factors will speed up the aging process such as…not protecting your skin from the sun, eating an unhealthy diet, and smoking.
Aging skin is the most visible sign we have of getting older. One of the main reasons that our skin naturally ages is due to a loss of collagen production. As we age, our skin becomes thinner and loses its elasticity and strength.
The great news is that Skin Gift can help you find the perfect skin care product to help you combat the signs of aging. You can pamper your hands with Jan Marini’s Age Intervention Hands while you give your eyes a treat with iS Clinical’s Youth Eye Complex. You’ll have amazing results when you indulge in Jan Marini’s Age Intervention Booster, Jan Marini’s Age Intervention Regeneration, and iS Clinical’s Firming Complex. Each of these incredible skin care products can help you fight aging, boost elasticity, and combat sagging skin. They can all be found at Skin Gift.

 Some people say that “beauty is only skin deep”…but does that mean you should not put the effort into taking care of your skin? Of course not! Most women, and even some men folk, want to keep their skin looking healthy and younger looking for as long as possible. Proper skin care should begin in your teen years, but it’s never too late to reap the benefits of a good skin care regime.
The first step in taking good care of your skin is cleansing it. Your skin is the largest organ and your face has the most delicate skin tissue on your body. Skin care experts agree that because of its drying effect, it’s never a good idea to use soap on your face. Using soap products on your face strips away the natural oil on your skin, leaving your skin feeling tight and dry. When the oil is stripped away, your skin must then produce more oil to replace what has been stripped away. Excess oil production is problematic because it often causes acne in many people.
SkinMedica Facial Cleanser is a soap free foaming facial cleanser that will gently remove make-up, dirt, dead skin, and environmental pollutants from your skin. Perfectly formulated for dry, oily, combination, aging or sensitive skin types, SkinMedica Facial Cleanser will refresh and hydrate your skin. This innovative formula combats dryness by combining botanical extracts, soothing agents, and hydrating emollients to make your skin feel smooth and silky each time you use it. Stop by Skin Gift to pick up your SkinMedical Facial Cleanser today.

 Skin care experts report that it is estimated that more than 16 million Americans have rosacea, and most of them don’t even know it!
Rosacea is a chronic facial skin condition that is often confused with acne lesions. People with rosacea have inflammation of the nose, cheeks, eyelids, forehead and chin. Rosacea may appear as skin eruptions that are similar to acne or as prominent spider-like blood vessels. It is not uncommon to see redness and swelling on the face, a stinging sensation on the face, or blood-shot eyes during a rosacea outbreak.
The causes of rosacea are largely unknown by the medical community. You are more likely to develop rosacea if you are between 30 and 50 years old, you blush easily, and are fair-skinned. Women tend to develop this skin condition more often than men, but men who do develop rosacea are typically affected severely.
There is no surefire way to avoid a rosacea outbreak, but skin care experts believe that you can minimize rosacea outbreaks by avoiding exposure to the sun, reducing stress, limit spicy foods, alcohol and hot beverages or other rosacea “triggers.”
The Obagi Rosaclear System has proven to be effective in the treatment of rosacea. The Rosaclear System contains a gentle cleanser that will soothe your skin while removing bacteria and irritating residues. Metronidazole Gel is used for the inflammatory papules and pustules, and the Hydrating Complexion Corrector will protect and moisturize your skin while reducing the appearance of redness. You can get your rosacea under control by contacting Skin Gift today.

If your skin is looking bad, it could be from stress in your life. Your skin is the largest organ in the body and is connected to your mind and body.
Nerve endings are connected to the skin, so emotions can affect the skin itself. Acne, rosacea, eczema, and fever blisters can all be triggered by stress. Histamines that are released under stress can cause itchiness and inflammation.
When you are stressed, the body releases cortisol which in turn increases oil production. Increased oil can lead to acne flare-ups. Chronic stress can block the production of estrogen. This can allow the male hormones, androgens to take over. Androgens have been shown to be a cause of acne breakouts.
By reducing stress you can decrease the activity of stress hormones and chemicals. Less stress can also decrease blood vessel activity so you have less flushing and blushing.
You can reduce stress by following common sense lifestyle choices. If you’re feeling stressed, take long, deep breaths and exhale slowly. You literally fool your body out of its fight or flight response.
Exercise and eat sensibly. Avoid smoking or too much alcohol. Make sure you get at least eight hours of sleep a night. Take time out for yourself so you don’t get overwhelmed with responsibilities. By taking care of your body you can bring your skin back to glowing health.
