There
are plenty of secrets out there about aging that go unmentioned but
we’re here to set a few of them free. Aging can be a touchy subject for
many but it doesn’t have to be.
There is something graceful about aging, something exquisite. As the
saying goes, “You get wiser with age”. Below you’ll read about a few
tips that no one talks about but really should. It’s time to liberate
these secret tips and embrace aging.
1. Beware of the sun!
Constant
exposure to the sun is a big reason why aging can happen at a quicker
rate than usual. Why do you think celebrities are religiously applying
sunscreen even if they’re only spending 10 minutes out there? Burt’s
Bees makes a chemical free sunscreen that celebrity, Ellen Pompeo
swears by. Sunscreen can help reduce damage from the sunrays on your
skin even during the wintertime. Although the sun provides the body with
Vitamin D, it’s important to note that there are other ways to get the
vitamin in our system. Vitamin D capsules are available to take as well
as using indoor infrared saunas (utilized through heat or light) that
provide the right kind of rays that are better for your body rather than
the rays directly from the sun.
2. A Blemish?! Now what do you do?
At
the slightest sign of a blemish, celebrities are running to their
dermatologists for help. This is primarily because celebrities believe
that their skin needs to be well maintained and have this unwritten
responsibility to exemplify perfection. And that is where we get this
notion that perfect skin means a gorgeous face. But being that most of
us aren’t celebrities (a person can dream, right?) let’s take a step
back and talk about things we can do for our skin. It is a good idea to
go for a facial once a month to exfoliate and remove dead skin cells.
Acne facials are exceptionally beneficial because you can have a medical
professional safely remove the bumps for you without causing
inflammation to the skin or without allowing you to develop that ugly
habit of picking at your pimples.
3. Dead Skin is your enemy – Get A Chemical Peel!
So
like I just said, dead skin is your enemy, trust me. It’s not pretty
and it really has no business being anywhere near your face. Undergoing
medical grade skin peels is an effective way to get rid of that
forbidden dead skin. But WARNING: Chemical Skin Peels are not for the
faint hearted. They can however make your face feel like a baby’s butt…
I’m 100% serious. In this procedure, a chemical solution is applied to
the skin, which makes it “blister” and peel off. The skin will peel off
and the patient will have smoother and less wrinkled skin than they did
before. However, peels are not all the same, thus medical grade peels
such as the Vi-Peel are ones most recommended because of the numerous
positive outcomes. It’s best to keep the chemical skin peels to a
minimum per year, roughly twice a year unlike facials, which can be done
once a month. These peels help clean up dark marks or any old acne
marks.
4. Give Me a B… For Botox!
Botox
is widely known as the non-surgical heaven to many men and women. It
not only helps wrinkles, but it plumps lips, enhances cheekbones, and
allows your face to have a refreshed look. Seems simple right? Well it
is but unfortunately people take advantage of the process and end up
looking plastic rather than an actual human. Although there are several
negative stereotypes behind the usage of Botox and other injectable
fillers, if done correctly and NATURALLY, many of your friends, family
and colleagues will not even notice a change in your appearance.
5. Why PRP is the Latest and Greatest
Facial
Bio-Stimulation stands for platelet rich plasma growth factors (PRP)
where the PRP combines with ozone, resulting in a treatment specially
designed to give your face extra brightness and vitality. PRP is a
simple outpatient procedure that applies plasma that is rich in growth
factors to the face. What makes this procedure unique is that the
patients will use their own blood. The growth factors that were
mentioned before are responsible to transmitting signals to the cells to
begin forming new tissues. The plasma contains soluble proteins in the
platelets, which prompts such a response. It can help skins appearance,
boost the synthesis of collagen, stimulate the process of connective
tissue; slow the skins aging process, and help with cell regeneration.
6. Carboxytherapy… Yes It’s a Real Thing
If
you’ve never heard of carboxytherapy, well then get ready. It is the
administration of carbon dioxide gas [CO2] for therapeutic purposes! The
distribution of CO2 will allow oxygen to circulate through the body,
which will increase blood circulation. By doing so, carboxytherapy can
improve skin elasticity and circulation, encourage collagen repair,
improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and destroy localized
fatty deposits.
7. IV Vitamin Therapy Can Help You FEEL Younger
IV
vitamin therapy is another treatment that has recently gained some
popularity. It’s the process of feeding vitamins, minerals and other
natural substances directly into the patient’s bloodstream. Benefits
include increased energy levels and allowing patients to perform daily
activities feeling more energized. It helps the immune system, which can
allow you to be less to infection. IV vitamin therapy can also help
conditions like depression, migraines, and allergies, just to name a
few. If you want to FEEL younger, than this might be the treatment for
you! If you’re having trouble accepting the aging process then have no
fear because healthy skin is just a treatment away. Which one will you
choose? Your healthy beautiful self = a happier you (it also doesn’t
hurt to smile!). Let’s make a promise to ourselves to embrace aging for
the beautiful element of life that it is.
