Fact or Myth? Showing Signs of Aging is Unavoidable Without Injectables or Plastic Surgery

plastic-surgery-instituteMyth: Of course, everyone ages, but the way in which your skin ages is largely up to you. While dermatologic procedures can have a big impact, they can also entail significant expense, time spent in a doctor’s office and downtime after you leave.

Fortunately, you can also get consistent, long-term results from an at-home regimen without costly appointments or going under a knife or a needle.

If you are considering a fractal laser resurfacing treatment, for instance, you might try tools for your skinan at-home alternative, like REDEFINE AMP MD™ Micro-Exfoliating Roller, which offers firmer-looking skin with a noninvasive at-home tool.

If you are thinking about going to the derm office for a microdermabrasion treatment, you may consider REDEFINE MACRO Exfoliator™, a handheld microdermabrasion device for extreme smoothness and radiance.

Or, perhaps you’re thinking an injectable is your only option for smoothing wrinkles and 1731expression lines, when, in fact, there are at-home, noninvasive alternatives, like ACUTE CARE™ Skincare for Expression Lines.

Inspired by dermatologists’ in-office treatments, these and other at-home products can help delay the signs of aging without the cost or pain of injectables and plastic surgery.

Technology is giving us lots of options without the risk of looking nipped and tucked.

Why not give us a try?

THE FUTURE OF YOUR FACE IS UP TO YOU

A video of a Photoshopped 100-year-old woman went viral after this extreme “virtual makeover” illustrated the dramatic results of what if the woman were 70 years younger and wrinkle-free. The video, first posted in 2003 after a “Photoshop Surgeon” reverse-aged the woman using digital technology, trended again recently with over 6.5 million views and counting .

What will your face look like 20, 30, 40 years from now? Sun damage from early in life can show up years later as wrinkles, brown spots, unevenness and sagging skin. Stress, too, often manifests in the form of expression lines around your eyes and between the brows. Even heredity can play a role.

While no product can eliminate wrinkles as dramatically as the Photoshop experiment, you can take steps today to help stave off the signs of aging tomorrow.

1. Stress Less. By making small, incremental lifestyle changes, you can help mitigate your stress levels. Practice yoga 15 minutes a day. Take a walk after lunch. Get monthly massages. And when stressful instances occur, remember to b-r-e-a-t-h-e.

2. Wear Sunscreen Daily. UV DermRF-whats-trending-051115 wear your sunscreenexposure from the sun is responsible for 80% of your skin’s signs of aging. Fortunately, by applying a sunscreen like REDEFINE Triple Defense Treatment every day, you can help protect your skin against these harmful aging effects that often appear later in life.

3. Fill Expression Lines. Expression lines form over time as we smile, squint, frown or furrow our brows. ACUTE CARE™ Skincare for Expression Lines can help by filling expression lines with proprietary Liquid Cone Technology that melts line-defying peptides and hyaluronic acid directly into the wrinkle for smoother-looking skin.

You might not be able to wipe 20, 30 or 40 years worth of aging from your face with a click of a keyboard, but you can help create a more youthful-looking future with some lifestyle changes and a few choice skincare products.

The Best Birthday Gift…Ever!

happy_birthday_girl_card-r8c8dbe6639234b13a99817807f8762c1_xvuat_8byvr_512-217x300I’m having a birthday, and to be honest – I’m feeling a little melancholy about it.

I certainly have a wonderful life, but getting to that age where I’d almost rather “forget” another year has passed (although the candles on that cake never seem to lie)! 😉

It got me thinking about what I could do to make my day special, and I’m wondering if you can help me out.
It’s always so nice to get bday wishes, cards etc – but there’s another kind of gift that would mean the world to me this year.

You may already know that I support a very important non-profit program (Women Empowered, through Project Concern International).

This program helps women in developing countries change their lives by starting small Alicia-Fox-Photography-82871-300x200micro-businesses (that bring in much needed income for themselves and their families).
The program is very comprehensive. Women get access to over 18 months of training, which provides them with new leadership, financial and literacy skills, and the support to start a business of their own.

Even more amazing – it only costs $50 to sponsor a gal through that entire program.

That’s it – $50 to change a woman’s life for good.

I don’t expect you to jump in and invest $50 right now (but if you feel called, of course it would be MUCH appreciated).
Instead, I’m wondering if you’d be willing to invest just $5, as a “Happy Birthday” gift to me?

( even a small percentage of you donated just a little bit, collectively, we could make a HUGE difference).

What do you think?

Would you be willing to invest just $5 to make my birthday unforgettable (while also making a huge difference for other women and their families)?

If so, all you need to do is click this link to connect to my team fundraising page to make your contribution.

https://my.pciglobal.org/fundraise/team?ftid=46997

Thank you in advance for your support, and for making my birthday one of the best.

I appreciate you! 🙂
