Cellulite is dimpling of the skin or orange peel effect, especially on a women’s hips and thighs. It’s inevitable most women will experience some form of cellulite but the good news is……You can take steps to make cellulite less noticeable. Here are 6 steps to minimize cellulite:
1.  Eat a healthy diet
Replace saturated fats with healthy omega-3 fats(good fats) such as oily fish like salmon or mackerel, flaxseed and nuts. These help with blood circulation. Foods rich in vitamin C are also excellent cellulite-busters because they boost levels of collagen in the skin.

2.  Drink water
Drink a minimum of 8 glasses of water a day. Drink your water! Drinking water helps to flush out toxins and waste.  Not to mention, drinking water helps to keep skin hydrated and soft.
3.  Wear Sunblock
UV rays breaks down collagen. Sun exposure is one of the greatest causes of collagen breaking down. Be sure that your sunblock offers broad-spectrum coverage, which will protect you from both UVA and UVB rays. UVA rays cause cancer and premature aging and UVB are the tanning and burning rays.
4.  Dry brush the body
Dry brush the body(with a long handled body brush) before you step into the shower each morning. This will stimulate lymphatic drainage. The light brushing motion against your skin and the direction in which you brush helps move lymph fluid into the lymph nodes so this waste can then be eliminated.
5.  Use body scrub
The massaging motion boost circulation for a smoother looking skin. Also after, your skin will absorb nourishing moisturizers even better. Mix coffee grounds with your favorite sugar of salt scrub and watch how much firmer you will feel. Who would have thought! Coffee increases circulation.
 
6.  Exercise and walk
Exercise can help reduce the appearance of cellulite and improve your health, muscle tone, strength and body shape .  Weight loss can reduce the appearance of cellulite. Having firmer muscles under your skin can help the skin to appear much smoother. Try aerobic and muscle toning exercises.

4 Simple Steps To Slow Down The Signs Of Aging

 

It doesn’t matter who you are or whether you have a  professional career or stay at home mom the subject of anti-aging at some point in life becomes a topic of discussion for everyone.  Who doesn’t want look their best! When you look great you feel great and in return you exude more confidence.  There are both external and internal factors that can be played to slow down aging skin.  Yes, you can reboot your skin to look great, slow down or fix signs of aging.  Here are 4 simple steps to slow down the signs of aging:

 

1.  Cleanse, Tone and Moisturize daily.




You should use a cleanser formulated to treat your skin type. Be aware (creamy cleansers are best for dry skin & gel cleansers are best for oily skin).  Use a toner to balance the PH level of your skin and be sure your toner is alcohol free.  Moisturize! Moisturize! Moisturize! Hydrated skin is more resistant to aging.

 

2.  Sunblock, Sunblock and Sunblock
Wear sunscreen daily(use a minimum of SPF 15).  The most important thing that you can do for your skin is to protect it against UV rays.   Nothing ages skin faster than sun damage. SPF in your makeup is not enough.

 

3.  Exfoliate
Sloughing away dead skin cells makes the skin feel silkier and look brighter.  Using a resurfacing process that sloughs dead skin cells will diminish signs of aging, encouraging a smoother younger looking skin, so that the moisturizers and anti-agers you use afterward will be more effective.

 

4.  Healthier Eating. 
Have you  heard it said that you are the food that you eat!  According to Dr. Perricone, you can decrease the signs of aging by eating an anti-inflammatory diet, fresh fruits , vegetables and cold water fish. Be sure to stay away from sugar and starch they raise the blood sugar level which could lead to inflammation in the skin, which could lead to wrinkles.  The rule of thumb is:  More of what is good and less of what is not.
