[:en]The day dedicated to all lovebirds is quickly approaching. That’s right, Valentine’s Day is almost here and it’s time to decide what you’ll gift that special someone in your life. One thing, however, that many neglect is considering how they’ll look on the day that they’ll spend with their spouse or significant other.
Whether you have a date, are in a relationship or just want to love yourself, the day of love is the best one for you to shine! Uptown Medical Wellness & Anti-Aging Center has great tips to get you glowing for this big day.
To say that Vitamin C is important is an understatement. This skin-infuser helps promote blood circulation, detoxifies skin, decreases uneven skin tones and brightens complexions. Try pairing Vitamin C with licorice or root extract.
Vitamin D is another crucial substance that’s very important to each of us. Your skin can manufacture up to 10,000 IU of Vitamin D after only 30 minutes of sun exposure. Yet, there are many factors that can limit Vitamin D synthesis, such as skin color, age, where you reside and the season. Using too much sunscreen can also make it difficult for your body to produce Vitamin D.
We recommend the product known as Metagenics D3 5000, a Vitamin D easy-to-swallow soft gel packed with skin-rejuvenating ingredients.
Exfoliation can also do your skin some good as it helps get rid of layers of dead skin cells that can cause dull complexions. Exfoliation removes cells from the epidermis and helps to keep skin pores from becoming clogged. It doesn’t matter if you have normal, oily or sensitive skin, exfoliation can help breathe new life into your complexion.
What do clogged pores do? Well, they can result in blackheads, acne and scarring. Diminish their appearance by keeping your skin clog-free. In addition to the immediate benefits of exfoliation, removing dead skin cells also speeds up the renewal process, making the skin smoother and healthier. Consider our exclusive line of Lifeline Skin Care products to infuse your skin with amino acids, peptides and enzymes to activate new collagen and elastin production.
Walk through an aisle of your favorite beauty store and you’ll find countless products claiming to make you look and feel younger. While the beauty shopper in today’s world of quick information has become much more aware of ad agencies getting them to buy products, they’re not all gimmicks. Moisturizing can help treat damaged and dry skin, and improve skin texture. While many people naturally have dry skin, using the wrong type of soap, showering too much or living somewhere hot and dry usually results in this condition.
What you put in your stomach is just as important as what you apply on your skin. Food gets digested and broken down into vitamins, amino acids and minerals that your body uses to build healthy skin. If you stuff your mouth with nothing but processed foods and sugar, your skin won't be as supple and strong as it could be.
Depriving your body of protein can also decrease the production of collagen, which helps make skin strong and supple. Also, no matter how much you moisturize and take vitamins, if your diet isn’t healthy, then your skin won’t be either. Try incorporating vegetables and a green juice every day into your diet. A good start is to eat an avocado a day since they have healthy fats and phytonutrients.
