Aging Eyes

This week we are targeting the eyes and anti-aging solutions.  Thanks to Rodan+Fields for this recent post:

Puffiness. Dark Circles. Expression lines. The eye area can tell all, revealing our daily, even hourly, ups and downs. And it’s no wonder—as the body’s thinnest and most delicate skin, the fragile eye area is continually bombarded with potential agers. Everything from sleep deprivation, dietary changes, pollution and the sun’s rays to aggressive pulling and tugging (as we put in contact lenses and take off makeup) and even our everyday movements of smiling, frowning or just blinking, take a toll.

What do you do to keep your eyes looking youthful?

The Power of Vitamin D - From our Derm RF

Great post from our Derm RF site that I thought I'd share with you.  I had no idea how much Vitamin D does for you. Worth the quick read:

If you want an “A” in anti-aging this summer, don’t drop your vitamin D supplement just because it’s sunny outside. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that prevents rickets in children, maintains bone density in adults, may inhibit certain cancers such as non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and possibly lessens the risk of diseases such as multiple sclerosis. While it is true that sunlight stimulates the production of vitamin D, the Skin Cancer Foundation recommends that you get your daily value of vitamin D from non-sun sources such as vitamin D–fortified milk, orange juice, salmon and other fatty fishes or a multivitamin. The truth is, if you seek your vitamin D from the sun, you’ll soak up a whole lot more than you bargained for, including accelerated aging and an increased risk of developing skin cancer.

Get a Great Sunless Tan

We all know too much sun is not good for us.  And, I know that sunless tanning can be a real pain, a real mess, and its real hard to get natural looking results.  This is especially true for fair skinned people (like me) where even the 'light' shade is about 4 shades darker than my natural skin color.  Don't worry and don't put yourself at risk getting ready for summer.  You can significantly improve your self- tanning experience and outcome with a few tips.
 
1.       Get some sun first whether it’s natural light or a short stint in a tanning bed. Some will be mad at me for recommending this but if it helps you start a nice color for the summer so that you’ll use more sun protection all year, then I’ve just lowered your overall exposure and your risk. 

2.       Exfoliate before doing any indoor tanning.

3.       Get a spray tan before you use self-tanner at home. I love the Mystic tan. If you are light skinned, stay with the light. 

4.       Touch up at home with a self-tanning lotion or foam daily.

5.       Moisturize on a daily basis.  This will help your skin to look vibrant and will help your tan last longer.

6.       REPEAT steps 2-5 every 10-14 days.

Enjoy your sun-kissed tan and your much improved skin health!!!
