 Wrinkles on the face are caused by a wide variety of factors. As we begin to age our body’s ability to produce elastin and collagen decreases and the skin our face begins to sag and fall prey to the pull of gravity. You will find that skin that is thinner, such as skin found around your eyes, is prone to wrinkles faster to the skin that is thicker.
Certain lifestyle choices can contribute the facial wrinkles. Smoking, exposure to the sun, alcohol consumption, and drug abuse can cause mild to severe facial wrinkling. Although environmental factors contribute to facial wrinkles, genetics also play a role in the development of facial wrinkles.
Now you can turn back the hands of time and fight back against unsightly wrinkles thanks to the Obagi Skin Health! A must have for anyone wishing to say good-bye to wrinkles, the ZO Skin Health Ossential Radical Night Repair Plus will accelerate cellular turnover while you sleep using a potent concentration of retinol. As you use the ZO Skin Health Ossential Radical Night Repair Plus, older skin cells will rise to the surface and exfoliate. The resulting effects are that your skin will look younger, healthier, and more beautiful. You can find this and other great Obagi products available at Skin Gift.

 Vitamin C, otherwise known as ascorbic acid, was first recognized as an important nutrient in the 1700’s. It was at that time that British soldiers who were at sea were diagnosed with a nutritional deficiency called scurvy. It was then discovered that due to the lack of fresh fruits and vegetables available to the men, scurvy, which makes the connective tissues of the body defective, occurred.
Scientific results of consuming food products that contain Vitamin C reveal that it is one of the 13 vitamins that are essential for your health and well-being. There are many types of foods that you can enjoy that contain good levels of Vitamin C. All varieties of peppers have high levels of Vitamin C. Kale, oranges, peaches, black currants, kiwi, pineapple, papaya, and strawberries are among some of the fruits and vegetables you can eat that are rich in Vitamin C. Although fruits and vegetables are your best sources of Vitamin C, other foods such as breakfast cereals are fortified with Vitamin C, so it’s easy to obtain your required daily allowance.
Vitamin C is not only good for your body; it’s also good for your skin as well. As we age, our skin loses collagen. Skin care products that include Vitamin C are scientifically shown to help reduce wrinkles and fine lines and help your body naturally increase collagen production. The Obagi Professional-C Serum contains Vitamin C and has been proven to stimulate collagen production and neutralize skin-damaging free radicals. You can find the Obagi Professional-C Serum available in four different strengths at Skin Gift.

 The early days of basking in the sun may be long gone for many people, but sadly the damage that was done to your skin years ago is just now starting to make its appearance on your skin known…most likely, and most predominately on your face!
Years ago, using sunscreen was not even a topic of discussion. My personal memories of countless trips to the beach, slathering up with baby oil no less, or basking on the side of our pool with a sheet of aluminum foil directed to achieve the perfect California tan are now events that I regret.
Studies have shown that UVA and UVB rays will tan your skin…and are extremely harmful as well. Skin care experts recommend using sunscreen every day of the year, rain or shine, for full protection from the sun’s harmful rays, no matter your ethnicity. Failure to apply some sort of sunblock to your skin allows for the penetration of the harmful UVA/UVB rays that will cause premature aging, wrinkles, and will also put you at risk for skin cancer as well.
Using sun protection is paramount to a good skin care regime. The Obagi Skin Balancing Sun Protection will provide protection for your skin as it contains SPF 30. This broad-spectrum sun protection is chemical free, and is tinted so that it blends easily with your natural skin tone. You’ll find this and many other fantastic Obagi skin care products 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.
