Look BETTER than a celebrity! Part Deux

SO, as we learned from the last post, looking naturally beautiful first requires Clear Skin. Why cover-up with foundation, when yours is naturally flawless?

The NEXT step to having natural beauty better than a celebrity is achieving a BRIGHT GLOW! Youth and beauty are so often associated with a clear, "Rosy" complexion. Everyone loves to pinch little toddlers'  plump blushing cheeks! The reason for the babes' flawless and beaming face?? The rapid rate of keratinocyte maturation process! 

Now I know you're saying, "WUT CHOO TALKIN BOUT?!" From the womb forward into young adult-hood,  skin replenishes every 28-30 days, leaving behind a fresh new face. As we age, this process slows down, causing our appearance to be a bit lackluster (after all it is dead skin). 

However there is GOOD NEWS!! No matter your age, or current skin state, you too can have brilliant youthful skin!! Steps to achieving that Bright, Rosy, Glow:

No. 1: EXFOLIATE
Every 40 minutes, our skin sheds a million dead cells! Even at this rate, skin can appear dry and flaky. By exfoliating 2-3 times a week, we speed the skin's rejuvenation process shedding dead cells for a bright complexion, and gain that rosy glow by increasing circulation.

Exfoliate Like a Spa Pro:

• Begin at the neck and work your way up
• Use circular motions
• When soothing with an after-exfoliant serum, apply in an upward motion

No. 2: PROTECT 
Did you know that WE are responsible for aging??? Genetics only make-up 20% of how we age. The other 80% is due to our lifestyle.

Notice the dullness and discoloration in the lovely Eva Longoria's skin. This splotchy, uneven tone is caused by sun damage. We can protect our skin from future damage by using moisturizers with SPF and sun blocks. And luckily now thanks to Rodan + Fields, we can Reverse Damage.






No. 3: EXERCISE
Physical Activity increase blood flow throughout our bodies. Increased blood flow= Nature's Blush! In addition to a natural flush, exercise reduces your biological age! As life progresses, we finds that our body fat wanders to our hips and thighs leaving our cheeks and lips gaunt and dry! Regular exercise not only burns calories to promote a trim figure, but it also fights fat redistribution!

Supermodel Kate Moss (pictured left), is sporting a rather gaunt natural appearance. Her cheeks are sunken in due to a loss of fat and collagen. Moss has been reported as saying she is not an avid exerciser!

Conversely, actress Jessica Biel's natural appearance is one to be envied. He cheeks are full and rosy! Biel is known for her determination and drive in her physical fitness endeavors! 

So Remember for Brilliant Youthful Skin: 

1. Exfoliate
2. Protect
3. Exercise
