How to Look Younger (Part 2 of 3)

 



 

 

 

 

 

 

Natural Beauty

Since our skin is our largest organ (did you know that!) what you put on it matters! Even topical products, like certain makeup[1] can contain ingredients like talc, which dries up the skin and reduces collagen (which is what we need to help us look younger). Makeup may also contain parabens (which are hormone disruptors) which can affect fertility and increase one’s risk for cancer.[2]

Collagen gives skin its elasticity and makes it look youthful. It diminishes as we age[3],[4]. But you can also slow down the process by eating better, exercising (yes, time to head to Krav for a great workout, at least twice a week!), and by using healthier products. Below are some examples.

Fortunately, we are blessed to have many natural beauty products out there (containing less harmful chemicals).

I like the following natural brands:

1.      Mad Hippie

2.      Thrive Causemetics

3.      Aubrey Organics

4.      Pacifica

5.      Colorganics (where I get my hemp-based lipstick)

I also recommend taking a collagen supplement. I use Vital Nutrients Marine Collagen (hypoallergenic protein, wild caught and contains no additives or preservatives). If you would like more information or for me to order any products, please text me at 813-468-0905.

  Fighting Stress   What’s worse than feeling out of control, feeling like life is happening TO YOU, rather than FOR YOU? Stress is prevalent and it can be debilitating, making you feel depressed, anxious, frustrated, overwhelmed and angry, due to circumstances you feel are beyond your control. In this blog, I will define stress, why we all have it and what you can do to manage it better. What is Stress? It’s your body’s response to physical or emotional circumstances, that causes chemical changes to occur in the body. All humans experience this and it’s perfectly normal. Its main purpose is to keep YOU safe. That’s why in dangerous situations your heart races and blood pressure increases, so you have MORE blood flow. Blood sugars rise and adrenaline is pumping to give YOU Energy and help YOU Focus on the task at hand. Short periods of stress can aid in survival towards an unexpected threat and drive YOU to do great feats .   However, when you experience...
