Easy Steps For Always Looking and Feeling Your Best

Who doesn’t want to always look and feel their best? If you feel like that, then you’ll have a “the world is my oyster” mindset. It’s a way of being that allows you to really take advantage of all that life has to offer, in large part because if we look and feel great, then we’ll be more confident when we go out into the world. And with confidence by our side, there’s no telling what we might just achieve.

And the good news is that how to hit your peak physical and mental well being is not a complete mystery. There are things you can do that’ll push you very much in the right direction. We’ll take a look at some of the most effective steps to take below.

What Are You Putting In Your Body?

You’ll get out what you put in. If you’re just putting junk into your body, then it’ll be no surprise if you don’t look or feel as good as you could do! Of course, it can be tempting to eat fast food, drink a beer, and so forth, but it’s important to remember that you’ll naturally run into issues if those things become a large part of your life. So take a look at your diet. Does it help you or hold you back?

Exercise and Stretching

Look after your body, and your body will look after you. While it can, admittedly, be difficult to get started with an exercise regime, it’s recommended that you do so. If you commit to it for a month, you’ll see a whole host of benefits come your way. For one thing, you’ll look better. Plus, you’ll likely notice a boost in your mental health, too. As well as putting your body through its paces at the gym, it’s also recommended that you make stretching an everyday part of your routine. It feels good to be loose!

Skin and Hair

It’s not just the shape of your body that influences how you look. Some things, such as your skin and hair, also have big roles to play. So take a look at making these parts as good as they can be. There are multiple things you can do. For your skin, you can look at facial fillers, cold showers, and sun protection. Maintaining your health is important- feeling good will make you look good! If you’ve been suffering from any skin afflictions such as acne or psoriasis, it might be worth looking into some remedies that could transform the way you feel about yourself. If you’ve got any suspicions about your skin’s health, getting them looked at sooner rather than later will help you out in the long run. Treatments such as psoriasis injections can provide a simple solution to issues you might have been carrying for a long time.

For your hair, it’s about understanding the types of products that your specific type of hair needs and visiting a hair professional who knows what they’re doing.

Meditation and Nature 

Finally, look at focusing on your mental health. If you’re happy, then you’ll, of course, enjoy life more, and you’ll also look better. Who doesn’t like seeing someone with positive energy? There are plenty of things you can do to nudge your mental health in the right direction, but two of the most straightforward options include meditating and spending time in nature. Both of these things have been shown to help calm the mind and give a happiness boost — and they’re both easy enough to do!

3 Popular Cosmetic Procedures You Could Consider

pixabay image

Non-invasive cosmetic procedures have become increasingly popular over the past few years. That’s partly driven by celebrity culture, although the efficacy and benefits of these treatments have also helped.

When you think of any cosmetic procedure, you likely envision the ones that need surgery. While these are done regularly, they’re far from the only ones that you can choose from.

If you’re looking for a cost-effective way of improving your appearance and boosting your confidence, non-invasive procedures can be recommended. Some are more popular than others and could be considered.

Most Popular Cosmetic Procedures: 3 Options You Can Consider

1. Coolsculpting

Quite a few people feel as though they could lose a little weight. Many would prefer it if they lost it primarily in one area. That should be possible with coolsculpting Raleigh.

The procedure is a localized treatment that focuses on removing fat cells from a specific area. As the name suggests, it can help you sculpt your body.

While you may need several sessions to get an impact, it can be quite noticeable after a while. Unlike many other procedures, the impact of this shouldn’t be undone unless you put on weight.

That makes it more of a permanent non-invasive procedure than others.

2. Laser Hair Removal

When many people think of popular non-invasive cosmetic procedures, laser hair removal mightn’t be the first thing that comes to mind. It’s perhaps the most popular option to choose, however.

As you might expect, the treatment focuses on permanently removing hair from a given body part. Many people choose to remove the hair on their legs or back with this.

It isn’t only women that are getting laser hair removal; it’s become increasingly popular among men in the past few years. Laser hair removal is an effective way of getting rid of hair backs and chests, so it’s easy to see why it’s become popular.

3. Dermal Fillers

When many people think of dermal fillers, they typically picture fuller lips. While that’s the most common way of using the treatment, it’s far from the only one.

They can have quite a few uses, many of which are non-invasive cosmetic procedures. These range from non-surgical nose jobs to non-invasive face lifts. With the range of uses on offer, it’s no wonder this is a popular option.

Dermal fillers are injected into the area that they’re being applied to. While they’ll need to be redone at some point, they could last longer than you’d think.

If you like the impact these have, you’ll need to get them done again every few months.

Most Popular Cosmetic Procedures: Wrapping Up

Non-invasive cosmetic procedures offer a wealth of benefits. They’re:

  • Affordable
  • Quick and Easy
  • Have Minimal Recovery Time

It’s easy to see why they’re becoming increasingly popular. While they can often have their risks, these are increasingly minor. Technology has come far in recent decades; the procedures couldn’t be safer.

If you’re looking for a boost in confidence, then some non-invasive cosmetic procedures can be recommended. Any of the above can be an appealing option.

Duchess Kate’s “Baby-Botox” now on Amazon

BabyBotox“ Biotulin is having a moment in Hollywood. This news went around the world: Duchess Kate Middleton trusts the German “Baby-Botox” Biotulin as a natural alternative to botulinum toxin. But it is not only the duchess who is reportedly impressed with Biotulin. International media also reports that Queen Maxima of the Netherlands, Leonardo DiCarpio, Madonna, Queen Letizia of Spain and many others use Biotulin.

The plant-based Biotulin is also called “Botox in the Bottle” and ensures a wrinkle-free smile. Always and at any time, because the gel can be applied several times a day and the effect lasts for at least 8 hours.

Produced in Germany, Biotulin smoothes and tightens the skin on a pure plant basis. One of the main ingredients of Biotulin is spilanthol, a natural local anesthetic obtained from the extract of the plant Acmella Oleracea (paracress). It reduces muscle contraction, causing facial features to relax. Small wrinkles disappear, especially those around the eyes and between the eyebrows.

Biotulin reduces wrinkles within just 1 hour. This has been proven through independent efficacy studies.

Now Biotulin also offers “EyeMatrix” against dark circles.

For more information about Biotulin, please visit:  www.biotulin.com

Meet the Waterless Vitamin C Serum Created by Celebrity Derm Tina Alster

The A Method®

 

When it comes to a high-quality Vitamin C serum, there is one ingredient you should never see on the label – water. Why? An anhydrous or waterless formulation preserves the efficacy of Vitamin C, meaning you are using a more powerful product.

As celebrity dermatologist Tina Alster, MD, FAAD, creator and co-founder of The A Method® explains, “Vitamin C is not always stable when it is formulated because it is very sensitive to light and tends to break down when mixed with water. This is why many Vitamin C serums look brownish. If your Vitamin C has a brownish color to it, it is not going to do its job because it is already breaking down. That is exactly why I had to formulate my own Vitamin C – without water.”

As a result, The A Method® by Tina Alster, M.D.’s C Antioxidant Gel 20% has quickly become the brand’s hero product because of this super effective, waterless formulation.

The perfect anti-aging skin brightener, it is created with 20% tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, a lipid soluble form of Vitamin C (It is now known that tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate is 50x more effective than standard L-ascorbic acid.) Lipid soluble Vitamin C is vital because it can be absorbed into the skin’s lipid layer without breaking down to provide antioxidant protection. It also helps to brighten and protect against skin discoloration – those pesky dark spots that often appear as we age due to sun and free radical damage. The super silky texture glides over skin like a protective Vitamin C shield.

“I always recommend C Antioxidant Gel 20% because it brightens the skin and preserves the skin’s youthfulness,” explains Dr. Alster. “Vitamin C is a powerhouse antioxidant that works as a scavenger to clear away free radicals that degrade the skin.”

Benefits:

  • Water-free gel formulation features a 20% concentration of tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, a lipid soluble form of Vitamin C.
  • Neutralizes free radicals to help prevent premature aging.
  • Contains Vitamin E to act synergistically with Vitamin C.
  • Skin brightening and collagen enhancing.
  • Silicone base helps preserve stability of the Vitamin C and optimize delivery and effectiveness

 Dr. Alster’s top tip/piece of advice when it comes to the aging process:

“When it comes to slowing the effects of the aging process, my rule of thumb is: “PROTECT your skin during the day with a topical antioxidant (e.g., The A Method C Antioxidant Gel 20%) and mineral sunscreen and RESTORE it at night with a quality retinol product. Highly effective and carefully curated medical grade skincare diminishes signs of skin aging and helps to maintain more youthful appearing skin.”

 Free of Parabens, Gluten, Fragrance, Colorants and 100% Vegan.

 

Price: $118.00
