Peptide-containing lip balms are an option for those looking for a new type of product to help address lip hydration as well as changes related to aging, namely fine lines, wrinkles, and the development of thin lips. What kind of lip balm do you use?

Face exfoliators facilitate the body’s own natural process of removing dead skin cells. In doing so, they help reveal brighter, healthier, more youthful looking skin. Exfoliators may be chemical in nature, in that they break apart the bonds of dead skin cells, or physical, meaning they gentle buff the skin surface. Remember not to over exfoliate!

Washing your face is part of basic skin care. Facial cleansing removes oil, dirt, residue, dead skin cells, and pollutants that accumulate on the skin surface.

While it is often recommended to wash your face twice a day, this is not a hard-and-fast rule. For people with sensitive skin or during the winter months when skin is usually more dry, it may be appropriate to simply rinse your face with tepid water in the morning and use a proper cleanser at night.

It’s not necessary to have squeaky clean skin after cleansing. Doing so strips the skin of too much oil, which can cause skin to become dry, red, flaky, and intolerant of skincare products.

What’s an infrared sauna?
Traditional saunas use steam or dry heat to heat the room and your body. An infrared sauna uses infrared radiation to heat the room. Infrared light has a wavelength longer than visible light; it is sometimes referred to as thermal radiation.

What’s the benefit of infrared saunas?
Saunas increase sweating. Increased sweat output can potentially help clear out pores of excess oil, debris, and dirt.
Increased internal body temperatures cause increased blood circulation in the skin to help regulate temperatures. Increased circulation may improve the delivery of antioxidants to skin cells, which may help protect them from the damage of free oxygen radicals.

Make sure to remain hydrated during and after an infrared sauna session. It is not uncommon to sweat even after the sauna session is over.

Thank you and for including my commentary!

Mature skin refers to aging skin. Over time, our bodies produce less collagen and elastin, which are proteins in the dermis that provide structure, rigidity, and support. Environmental factors, like UV radiation, and lifestyle behaviors, like smoking, can accelerate the degradation of these important proteins.

Anti-aging moisturizers help maintain the health and youthful appearance of skin. Ingredients to look for when shopping for an anti-aging moisturizer include hyaluronic acid, which improves hydration, retinol and peptides, which encourage collagen production, and antioxidants like vitamins C and E, which protect skin from damaging free oxygen radicals.

Of course, don’t forget to apply an SPF moisturizer in the morning.

Hair growth oils are products that are marketed to improve the health and appearance of hair. Hair growth oils, however, do not directly cause hair growth. Instead, they improve scalp conditions that encourage the health of scalp skin and hair follicles. Hair oils repair dry damaged hair by restoring moisture, providing important vitamins and nutrients, and limiting shedding and breakage.

Rosemary, argan, tea tree and mineral oils are often reported as effective hair oils. These oils fortify hair by improving moisture and strength and delivering nutrients and antioxidants, which protect hair follicle cells from oxidative stress.

Moisturizers are all the same, right? Not exactly.
Moisturizers come as lotions, creams, ointments, butters, and oil. These last two, butters and oils, are not as well known.

Body butters are thicker products with a high concentration of oils that provide intense hydration. Body butter is best for dry skin in need of deep moisturization. It is ideal for especially dry skin or areas of skin that are thicker or prone to frictional forces, such as the elbows and knees. Butters can also be used to soften the hands during winter or as a cuticle treatment at night.

Body oils are composed primarily of oils; they are lightweight and provide skin hydration and shine. Oils can also be used by most skin types, including oily skin, but be sure the oils used in the product are non-comedogenic. Oils are lightweight, but often remain on the surface of the skin, which makes skin feel smooth and soft. The oil also makes skin appear shimmery.

Thank you and for including me in this conversation!
