Eileen here! Let’s talk about a couple of bad skin habits that you need to break.

1️⃣ Hot Showers ❌ Hot water dries your skin out, stripping it of vital natural oils and moisture.

What to Do Instead ✅ Aim for tepid water, gently pat your skin dry, and immediately apply moisturizer.

2️⃣ Talking with your Phone Against your Face ❌ Your phone can have 25,127 bacteria per sq.in. 😱 That’s more than a public toilet seat! Not to mention all of the dirt and grime. And every time you touch it to your face to take a call, you transfer some of it to your skin. EW!

What to Do Instead ✅ Go hands-free for calls and avoid touching your phone to your face.

Stay tuned! More bad habits to come…

NEW special 🌟 Look Younger Without Injectables! ✨

Acupuncture Facelift, aka Anti-Aging Facial Acupuncture, can reduce your forehead wrinkles, soften fine lines, firm up jowls, and improve skin tone, all helping you look younger! 

🏷️ SPECIAL: $220 per session

➡️ What we will do for you:

Each session will include Facial Acupuncture & Advanced Skin Care 

1️⃣ We will conduct an in-depth Traditional Chinese Medicine assessment.

2️⃣ You’ll receive an acupuncture treatment using the best and most expensive Seirin needles from Japan. Fine needles are used to treat the entire face, including the chin line, neck and décolleté. The stimulation from the needles increases collagen and elastin production, so fine lines disappear, deeper lines will soften, pores tighten, and lines in the neck will soften dramatically, creating an overall younger and smoother-looking appearance.

You’ll also get  additional needles in the body to further enhance your complexion. As many body meridians run through the face, receiving facial acupuncture treatment is actually a health treatment for the entire body. Other health concerns (e.g., back pain, digestive issues, menstrual issues, etc.) are also addressed. 

3️⃣ The treatment includes a spa-level facial. It begins with relaxing warm towel therapy and facial gua sha to stimulate muscle tone. At the end of the acupuncture treatment, you will enjoy an uplifting exfoliation mask followed by nourishing serums to firm up the skin. 

This may be the natural alternative to injectables you’ve been looking for.

Eileen here! Let’s bust 3 common skincare myths.

1️⃣ Myth ❌ If it’s tingling, it’s working.

Fact ✅ If it hurts, it’s likely causing inflammation. While stronger actives can cause some sensation, any stinging that lasts over a minute, pain, rashes… these are all signs that a product isn’t right for your skin. If a product you’re using starts to cause burning, redness, or irritation, wash it off and follow with a soothing moisturizer.

2️⃣ Myth ❌ I only need to moisturize when my skin feels dry.

Fact ✅ While moisturizing helps with dryness, it does much more than that. Moisturizing is essential for skin health and skin barrier function. It keeps skin plump and elastic while helping prevent fine lines and reduce sensitivity. Moisturize twice a day to keep your skin healthy and hydrated.

3️⃣ Myth ❌ I only need SPF in the summer months

Fact ✅ UV rays don’t take a winter vacation! Use SPF all year ‘round to keep your skin protected.

Remember last week’s post about what’s in a nutritionist’s fridge? Here’s the recipe for the gluten-free flourless chocolate cake (pictured here with vegan whipped cream) 😋🍰🍫

🍫 Flourless Chocolate Quinoa Cake & Ganache Recipe 🍰

➡️ Ingredients, Cake 🥣
• 2/3 cups quinoa (uncooked)
• 3/4 cup water (to cook quinoa)
• 1/3 cup of plant-based milk
• 4 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup coconut oil
• 1/2 cup coconut palm sugar
• 1 cup cocoa powder
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 to 3/4 cup sugar-free jam for the centre (optional)

➡️ Directions, Cake ✏️
1️⃣ Cook quinoa with water (it’s best to “overcook” it, as it will be easier to blend after). Let cool.
2️⃣ Preheat your oven to 350°F; (convection oven 325F). Grease or line a 9x13 pan or round 9” spring-form pan.
3️⃣ Blend the milk, eggs and vanilla in a food processor. Add the cooked quinoa and coconut oil and blend until smooth and there are no bits of whole quinoa left.
4️⃣ Add the dry ingredients and continue blending until you get a smooth batter.
5️⃣ Pour the batter into the pan and bake for approx. 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
6️⃣ Cool cake on a wire rack. Note, it will deflate while cooling and the top is prone to cracking. Don’t fret!
7️⃣ Once cooled, fill with jam if desired. 
💡 TIP: If decorating with icing or ganache, just flip it upside down and use the bottom side up.

➡️ Ingredients, Ganache 🥣
· ¾ cup vegan chocolate chips (recommend: Enjoy Life Chocolate Morsels)
· ½ cup canned coconut milk (full fat)

➡️ Directions, Ganache ✏️
1️⃣ On a stovetop in a small pan, mix the chocolate chips and coconut milk over medium heat.
2️⃣ Stir constantly until smooth.
3️⃣ Remove from the heat and immediately spread evenly over the flipped cake using a long knife or the back of a spoon. Allow to drip over the sides.
4️⃣ Refrigerate to firm up the ganache.

💡 TIP: Cake freezes extremely well!
