When it comes to keeping your overall health, mood, and memory in tip-top shape, we’ve long known that if you don’t snooze, you lose. Skipping out on Zzzs can affect your body and mind’s performance from the inside out—and the consequences for your skin are no exception. In fact, they go well beyond the telltale dark circles and sleep creases that fade.
A 2015, study partially sponsored by the Sleep School in London, found that missing just two hours of sleep for less than a week can spell serious trouble for your complexion—specifically, an increase in wrinkles, bacteria, and blemishes. These findings support a 2013 study by University Hospitals Case Medical Center, which revealed that sleep-deprived women (ages 30 to 49) showed signs of premature skin aging (fine lines, uneven pigmentation and reduced skin elasticity) and a decrease in their skin’s ability to recover after sun exposure.
Whether you’re a man or woman, sleep is essential to good health and good skin. The skin “rests” at night, which means cells undergo repair and turn over slightly faster, helping your face look bright and refreshed. Just because your fall calendar is filling up and back-to-school schedules have you tempted to burn the candle at both ends, try not to let your skin suffer.
Check out these tips for getting a good night’s sleep (plus a few tricks to make those precious hours of slumber work harder for your skin).
*How To Maximize Your Beauty Rest*
~ Remove TVs, electronic devices and digital clocks from the bedroom to create a calm, comfortable environment. (The white noise app can stay.)
~ Keep the bed warm and the room cool. Our skin temperature increases during sleep, so skin absorbs products better.
~ Apply REDEFINE ACUTE CARE™ Skincare for Expression Lines with peptides and hyaluronic acid three nights a week for four weeks to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and create a more younger-looking you.
~ Avoid coffee and alcohol four to six hours before bedtime.
~ Reduce puffiness in the a.m. with a dose of caffeine—on the eyes. Steep two black tea bags in hot water for three minutes, then cool in the fridge and apply to eyelids.
~ Amp up your daily skincare routine with REDEFINE AMP MD™ Micro-Exfoliating Roller and Night Renewing Eye Serum for firmer-looking skin.
~ For daily skincare concerns, select the Regimen that’s right for your skin: UNBLEMISH to treat acne and breakouts; SOOTHE for sensitivity; REVERSE to diminish the appearance of discoloration; and REDEFINE to target aging concerns. #teamenthusiasm

Myth: 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 
an 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 
expression 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?

Our deepest expressions create our deepest expression lines. These are the lines that reveal a million moments in one…the times you laughed so hard with a loved one you could cry…the stolen moments puckered up for a kiss goodbye. They’re not just our wrinkles — they’re our storylines.
While our love stories may get better with age, our storylines won’t. At 30, you might start to notice visible signs of aging, such as deepening smile lines or worry creases between the eyebrows. By the time we’re in our 40s, our storylines become more established: The crow’s feet around our eyes and the “goal posts” between our brows deepen, while the corners of our mouths start turning down, forming marionette lines that can leave us looking angry or sad. Even our lips, one of the face’s key vehicles of expression, start to show our storylines through the vertical lines that can say more about our age than we’d care to put into words.
Show Your Lips Some Love with these few tips to keep your lips kissably soft and smooth through the winter months.
Although aging is inevitable, diminishing the appearance of lines and wrinkles is largely within our control.
The month ahead—filled with romance, Valentines and love stories—is the perfect time to find your expression, lose the wrinkle.
Let me show you how to lose those wrinkles. Message me for more info 🙂

For many years, women believed they could do little or nothing about the state of their skin and the ravages of aging. Today, we now understand that genetics account for just 20% of visible aging changes, and the remaining 80% depends on habits and lifestyle. By becoming an active participant in the quest for healthier, more attractive skin, we all have the opportunity to look and feel as young as we choose.
A cornerstone of any anti-aging routine is exfoliation. When you’re young, skin cells turn
over every 28 to 30 days, giving skin that healthy-looking, fresh glow associated with a youthful appearance. Over time, this process of renewal slows, so much so that by the time you’re 40, it could take 50-plus days for the outermost skin to turn over. When dead cells don’t slough off as rapidly, the very top layer of skin gets thicker, appearing almost stale, and the dead cells can pack into your pores, making them look larger. This is why exfoliation is so important—it assists the natural shedding process and reveals the newer, fresh skin cells below.
Exfoliation can take many forms, and we recommend incorporating macro- and micro-exfoliation into your routine for best results. Once-weekly macro-exfoliation sweeps away up to five-million dead skin cells in just five minutes, leaving behind smoother, healthier-looking skin and a more luminous complexion. In addition, our clinical studies show that daily use of a cosmetic, non-invasive micro-exfoliating roller, in conjunction with retinol and peptides, can help you achieve visibly firmer, younger-looking skin. Both processes can be done together, just not on the same day.
Thanks to great strides in skincare science, there’s no reason to fear Father Time.

…then you’re either a Turkey or you might need some help! 
With the start of the holiday social circuit, people are suddenly impatient to get picture-perfect skin. And in an effort to look fantastic, many jump from appointment to appointment, accumulating multiple treatments and procedures.
While it’s tempting to consider going all-in on holiday specials, these in-office treatments are often expensive, painful and time consuming. However, skipping in-office treatments doesn’t mean you can’t get office-like results. Because you can!
If you are looking for glowing skin but don’t have a week to recover from (or the money for) professional microdermabrasion, try macro exfoliation from the comfort of your bathroom. Using an at-home tool to remove dead skin cells every week is a process that’s painless, affordable and does not require any recovery time.
Both options can yield impressive results, so which one would you pick?
Visible results are possible with intelligent daily skincare and healthy habits. This combination can influence up to 80% of your skin’s future. And it’s never too late, or too soon, to start. 
Roll into 2015 with great skin.
