[W863]Winner Of True Beauty

by Janet Martin, Jan

The anti-aging industry is booming as more and more aging men and women are getting concerned about extending their youth and maintaining their beauty. However, many people have put their anti-aging efforts primarily on the care of their faces and necks. But aside from your face and neck, other parts of the body that can reveal your true age if not cared for properly are your hands. Thus, you should never forget to include your hands and nails in your efforts to slowdown aging.

Here are some tips you need to know in maintaining beautiful hands and nails:

Protect Your Hands From The Sun

If you think that your face and neck are the only parts of your body that you need to shield from the sun, you are making a big mistake. Your hands are also prone to developing sunspots, wrinkles, skin discolorations and brown spots due to frequent exposure to the harsh ultraviolet rays from the sun.

Before you step outside, especially during noontime, be sure to protect your skin with sunscreen or sun block. Make sure that the sun protection factor, or what is commonly known as SPF, is of a high number. If you want vitamin D from the sun, you must limit your sun exposure during the day and preferably only between 7AM to 9 AM. You also need to remember to put on sunscreen when you are driving your car.

Wear Gloves

Many people forget to wear protection when they are washing their clothes or using harsh ingredients, such as strong detergents, bleach and other chemicals. Some ingredients can instantly burn your skin or cause development of rashes, while others can make your skin dry. To prevent such chemicals from further damaging your hands, be sure to wear gloves when you are handling them.

Use Special Hand Cream

There are virtually thousands of hand products in the market so you will not have any difficulty in finding a lotion or cream that is specifically designed to make the skin on your hands smooth and soft. It is advisable to choose a product that is not greasy and one that can protect your hand for a longer time.

You should remember to put a hand cream after you wash your hands. No matter how much lotion you put in the morning and night, if you frequently wash your hands during the day, you might still end up having dry and wrinkled hands and palms.

Exfoliate Regularly

Any part of your body that is covered with skin should undergo exfoliation every once in a while to slough off dead skin cells. One of the reasons why your skin may be rough is because you do not exfoliate and scrub off dead cells regularly. You can use a body scrub with tiny beads or a loofah to exfoliate.

Be Mindful Of Your Soap

Most hand wash or soaps contain anti-bacterial ingredients and other chemicals that may be harsh on your skin. If you want to prevent aging, you need to find a hand soap that contains moisturizer. There are many in the market that not only give you full protection against germs, but also take care of your skin.

Mind Your Nails

Beautiful hands include well-kept and clean nails. Hence, you should also use products that take care of your nails and cuticles. Discolored nails can make your hands look older than they really are.

If you are having a manicure in a salon, be sure to check if the tools that they are going to use on you are sanitized. You can catch an infection if the nail-cleaning tools used are not clean and sanitized.

One nail problem that you need to treat immediately is nail fungus. This kind of infection does not only make your nails discolored and brittle, it can sometimes cause foul-smelling odor. You can get rid of nail fungus by applying a strong and high-quality anti-fungal product. One nail care system that can help you with nail fungus is Somasin. Check out for more details.

Skin works hard to protect you from the sun, heat and cold. Over time, the environments harmful effects will begin to show on the outer layer of skin the world sees.

Put your best face forward with medical microdermabrasion treatments.

If you could remove the outermost layer of dry, dead skin cells, you would see that just below the surface lies a fresher, younger-looking face. Thats exactly what microdermabrasion treatments can do for you. By gently, precisely exfoliating the surface of your skin over a course of weekly sessions, medical microabrasion treatments whisk away years of dull build-up, revealing a more beautiful you.

Brighter, clearer and more evenly toned skin is waiting for you in as little as 4-6 treatments. Over time, this repeated process stimulates the production of a new layer of skin cells, bringing with it an increased level of collagen and elastin, which further improves your skins appearance.

Your skin is too precious to risk on anything else.

For healthier, clearer and more youthful skin, ask us about medical microdermabrasion treatments, along with the application of light microdermabrasion chemicals Sucausglycolic.

Age is not the only enemy of healthy skin.

While medical microdermabrasion treatments are the leading non-surgical method to help reduce the appearance of fine lines, crows feet and other signs of aging, they are just as effective in the treatment of:

1. Fine lines and wrinkles.
2. Sun damage.
3. Uneven skin tone.
4. Mild to normal acne

By gently lifting away imperfections, medical microdermabrasion treatments will help improve the appearance of skin. In fact, it is safe to use on all skin types, male and female and all skin colors, including Asian and African-American skin.

Finding your inner beauty should be a therapeutic experience, and with Power Peel, it is.

If youre like most people, you will find Power Peel treatments to be relaxing and enjoyable. First, your skin will be cleansed and prepared with a gentle cleanser. The treatment itself will feel like a delicate, exfoliating scrub brushed over the surface of your skin. Following the treatment, your skin will be treated with specially selected products designed to soothe and moisturize. Facial massage is often used to help penetrate the moisturizer deep into your skin.

The entire process takes about 45 minutes. Immediately after the treatment, your skin will not only look healthier, but also feel smoother and softer. Repeated treatments produce more visible results.

Dont stop there. Maintaining the health of your skin requires daily care. Regular cleansing and moisturizing with specially selected products will help keep your skin fresh, toned and well-hydrated. Daily protection from the sin is essential.

We recommend Obagi and Biomedic products for use during the course of your treatments. Your physician or Aesthetician can recommend what they think is right for you.

To maintain the results you have achieved with medical microdermabrasion, we recommend monthly treatments following your initial series.
