HEALTHY SKIN BEGINS WITHIN

There’s so much that goes into preserving our skin and overall health.  Diet plays an important role in increasing  longevity.  What you put into your body will eventually reflect outwardly.   
​
I’ve always been concerned with optimising my health through lifestyle choices. A healthy lifestyle, with a diet full of fruits and vegetables has always been at the forefront.  I definitely believe that a clean diet has impacted the way my skin ages.  

As the  old saying, “ you are what you eat.”  If your diet consists of junk food, high amounts of sugar, and lots of salt, I bet your skin won’t look that great in 20 years.

WHAT ARE SUPERFOODS?

Superfoods is a marketing term that is used to describe foods with a variety of health benefits. Superfoods are nutrient dense, unusually rich in antioxidants, healthy fats, fibre, and phytochemicals.  They are mostly plant-based, but also include some fish and dairy products.

IS YOUR SWEET TOOTH RUINING YOUR SKINCARE GOALS?

Is sugar standing in the way of your skincare goals? Did you know that sugar can increase fine lines and wrinkles?  Sugar is the nasty culprit responsible for many health problems.  Today, sugar can be found in literally every food product and is becoming increasingly impossible to avoid.  Just stroll your local supermarket aisle, and you'll that sugar is in the majority of products that stock the shelves.

SUPPLEMENTING LONGEVITY


​It always baffles me how people are more concerned with putting vitamins on their face than ingesting them.  I have always been an advocate for supplements, and have been taking them for more than twenty five years.  I am a big fan of vitamin C and vitamin E, both well known for their antioxidant properties; as well as essential fatty acids for it's benefits on the skin.  I can personally attest that the benefits of taking supplements outweigh the benefits of using them topically when it comes to aging.

FITNESS OVER 40

​As we age our bodies change due to hormonal shifts, and our metabolism slowing down.  Sometimes we lack the same the energy  and enthusiasm we had when we were younger.  The bodies we had in in our twenties no longer resemble the body we inhabit in our forties.  

When we get older, we start to notice that the body isn’t as naturally toned as it used to be.  The skin starts to lose its firmness due to the loss of skin elasticity, and muscle mass begins to wain.  Once we hit the forty plus category, we definitely have to make more of a conscious effort to stay fit.
