Here are five of our favorites to bolster your beauty knowledge in 2014. 1. QUIT PURSING Yep, drinking water has skin benefits but constantly pursing your lips around a bottle top or straw doesnt. Regular pursing exacerbates lines around the mouth that already exist and causes new ones. Drink from a glass whenever possible, ditch the straws and, if you do need to use a bottle, practice the fine (but not necessary lady-like) art of squirting water into your mouth instead. 2. MOISTURIZER WORKS Whats the elemental product commonly prescribed by specialists after a peel, laser treatment or facial surgery? A basic hydrator. The importance of moisturizing the skin cant be emphasized enough, says Auckland cosmetic physician Teresa Cattin. Moisturizers play an extremely important role, allowing wounded skin to repair itself much more effectively. Moisturizer, no matter how no-frills, also increases the skins mobility, helping to prevent wrinkles caused by creasing. It also plumps the skin up, instantly making you look fresher. But while basics are fine in emergencies, for long-term anti-ageing protection, use a moisturizer loaded with ingredients to boost cell turnover and stimulate collagen. 3. STOP THE STRAIN Notice how some women have more prominent cords running down their necks? Its possibly due to tensing the jaw during exercise. The benefits of pumping iron are indisputable but when the strain of lifting heavy weights starts to show in your face, its time to reconsider your workout. Exercise should give you a happy face, not a wrinkled one. 4. BEAUTY SLEEP As cheesy as it sounds, sleeping like a pampered princess on a satin (or silk) pillowslip definitely helps minimize facial creasing. Your face slips around on satin rather than ending up pressed into the wrinkles common in a non-slip fabric like cotton. A smooth pillowcase is also gentler on your hair. 5. DONT BELIEVE IN MIRACLES Wrinkle-erasers in pots do not exist. No cream, no matter the cost, can markedly tighten jowls, lift your eyelids or remove all the puffiness from under your eyes. What you can reasonably expect from well-formulated skincare is to look youthful for longer. Get your skincare today!!! 318-752-BODY (2639)
