Skin care experts agree that exfoliating your skin can help it look younger and feel softer. Using a topical exfoliating skin care product on your face will help remove dead skin so that new skin cells will shine through. Exfoliation helps dry skin to absorb moisturizers better. Exfoliating will also help oily skin types benefit by removing dirt and residue from the pores of skin.

Recommended for normal to oily skin types is Obagi’s Nu Derm Exfoderm Forte #4 contains lactic acid and glycolic acid.

 As we age, most everything on our body tends to change in one way or another. At some point in time everyone will experience fine lines, wrinkles, gray hair, sagging skin, the loss of collagen and elastin, and often times the appearance of dark circles under the eyes.
Dark under eye circles can appear at any point in time for a wide variety of reasons. Here are a few examples of the most common reasons for the occurrence of dark circles under the eyes.
• Poor Nutrition – Not eating a balanced diet or the lack of iron or Vitamin K can cause dark circles under the eye.
• Heredity – Having dark eye circles is often an inherited trait. The skin under the eye is extremely thin. Blood passes through veins that lay close to the surface of the skin. Dark circles will appear worse the more transparent the skin is.
• Fatigue – Pale skin is caused by the lack of sleep. When the skin looks pale, the blood that passes through the veins appear to be more visible. This in turn makes the dark circles look darker.
• Allergies, Asthma and Eczema – Rubbing your eyes for any reason will irritate the delicate thin skin under your eyes which will cause the appearance of dark circles.
Please check back on Tuesday for the conclusion.

 A person could embrace the onslaught of wrinkles in their life and believe that they signify wisdom and grace from the years of life’s experiences. For most people who are getting older, especially women, wrinkles are something that they would likely choose to leave behind.
Wrinkles occur for a variety of reasons. The most common reason is because of the typical aging process. There are other factors that can speed up the wrinkling process as well.
• Some people tend to wrinkle more than others do based upon their genetic makeup.
• It is a well-known fact that smoking is a major contributor to premature aging of the skin.
• Light skinned people who tend to burn easily are more likely to wrinkle faster.
• Working outdoors (i.e. construction workers, farmers, road workers, etc.)
• Not protecting your skin from UVA/UVB rays when playing outdoors.
• Using tanning beds. Skin care experts agree…that there is no safe tan!

 You only have one set of lips so don’t forget to take good care of them. Good lip care should always be part of your daily lip care regime. Lip skin is very sensitive and tender with three to five cellular layers. Not having any sebaceous glands, lips will dry out faster than other skin and become chapped more easily. Additionally, as part of the aging process, lips tend to shrink and thin.
Here are a few tips to keep your lips looking young and healthy:
• Just like with other parts of your body, dry skin causes wrinkles, so it’s important to keep your lips well hydrated.
• Exfoliating dead skin will help generate new soft skin.
• Protect your lips from UVA/UVB rays by using lip balm with SPF.
• Natural remedies for your lips include: honey as a natural moisturizer, lemon to remove dark spots on your lips, and Vitamin E oil or almond oil to reduce lip lines and add moisture.
As we age, without proper lip care, the signs of aging will begin to show quickly upon your lips. Having plump healthy pink lips will help take years off of your appearance. Jane Iredale has many lip care products that will help keep your lips beautiful and healthy looking. Stop by Skin Gift to check our Jane Iredale Lip Drink Lip Balm, Just Kissed – Lip Plumper, Sugar & Butter Lip Exfoliator, and Pure Gloss in a variety of beautiful shades.
