1. DO exfoliate at least twice a week. Be careful with granular scrubs (even for oily skin) because they are usually to aggressive and don’t really have any healing properties… You might as well be rubbing sand on your face!
2. Do use an eye cream every day. Any women over 25 should be using at least a basic eye product. Remember that the skin around your eyes is the most delicate on the entire face, and therefore most prone to saggy, wrinkles and puffiness. Be gentle when applying anything to that area to help the skin maintain it’s elasticity as it ages.
3. DO get your antioxidants. In addition to topical products that are infused with antioxidants, try ingesting high doses of them as well. Not only will it help fight free radicals and slow down the aging process but help keep the body fit, healthy and resilient. Can’t seem to get enough antioxidants through food alone? Why not try GliSODin Skin Nutrients for a super-charged boost that will leave your skin glowing and firm.
4. DON’T smoke. This terrible “social” habit is terrible for your skin. Second to sun exposure, smoking is the most damaging thing you can do to your skin. Smoking restricts flow of oxygen which gives the skin a sallow, dull tinge. It also causes major wrinkles, especially around the mouth.
5. DON’T leave without sunscreen! Even on overcast days it is important to use SPF 15. Even indoors, office lighting can create free radical damage. You don’t have to slap on the thick greasy paste that the words ‘sunscreen” bring to mind. Instead, try using a moisturizer with SPF. Better yet, why not try mineral make up? It also contains SPF of 15 or higher, while giving you a glowing, even complexion.
