Beautiful Tips

Use Essential oil.

 Sleep on Silk
Sleep on a silk pillow. It’s gentle on your skin and won’t tug on it while you
 sleep. Think less sleep lines!

Keep Eye Cream on Hand
I keep a small dram of my favorite eye cream in my purse and over the 
course of the day dab a small amount onto my eye area, especially on 
the crow's-feet. By dabbing it (not rubbing) I can apply it over 
makeup. And as an extra bonus it gives the area a sheen, much like a 
illuminating product, but with anti-aging benefits!


Protect Your Hands

Your hands are a telltale sign of your age. Keep them well-moisturized! Use gloves when doing dishes or household work, and put SPF on them!

Help Your Lotion Do More

After you wash your face, before putting on moisturizer or any anti-aging lotions, run an ice cube over your face for a minute (or splash with some very cold water). It helps the skin absorb more of what is in these lotions, helping them become more effective. It does make a difference after a few nights of doing so! Give it a try!

Up Your Antioxidants


Use foods with antioxidants and good fats as beauty products 
(e.g., blueberries, avocados). You can not only eat them, but use them in 
facial masks and hair treatments!

Try Emu Oil


I use Emu Oil on my face and hands morning and night. It's a thick pad of fat from a bird back. 

I live by it, plus it's easy on the wallet.

Ionize Your Water

Improve your immune system and detox at the same time when you drink ionized alkaline water!

Apply Your Face Cream with a Brush


Use a (synthetic) foundation brush to put on face cream using upward strokes. Not only will you avoid the skin-pulling that is common when applying cream with your hands, but the upward strokes will help to keep skin from sagging long-term.

Take Care of Your Hands


Buy a less expensive night cream and use it on your hands.

Wash with Your Cloth


Use a rough, nubby washcloth to bathe. It is the most inexpensive yet effective way to slough off the dead skin!

Improve Your Posture


In order to avoid getting hunched over and losing height, I sit on my sitz bones and stand with my weight in my heels — this also reduces back pain!

Take Your Vitamins


Take a serving of flaxseed, cod liver, and organic olive oil daily.

Get Your Blood Flowing


I stand on my head every day for five minutes to engorge my face and head withblood and keep a youthful look.

Maintain Your Lip Color


Our lips lose color as we get older, so always use a lip stain under gloss or lip glaze. A beautiful gloss will give lips pop, but when it wears off, you may be left with a low-watt lip line. I prep my clients' lips with my Dr. KISS satin finish lip balm. It gives a small lift of color that will 'stain' the lips and give a flush of pink. This 'sets the stage' for your favorite lip color while making sure you'll have baby-hued lips between touch-ups.

Use a Tinted Sunscreen


The esthetician in me screams a tinted sunscreen is one product every woman should have and use! Sunscreen is the single most important thing we can put on our face to fight wrinkles and brown spots (uneven tone). The tint is because we all want a natural glow to our skin, and most tinted sunscreens provide this. If we like the way the sunscreen makes us look, the more likely we are to use it! DermaQuest ZinClear SPF 30 comes in clear or tinted forms, so that's one I always like to recommend.

Drink Green Tea


I drink green tea for its powerful antioxidant properties for staying
 youthful. Plus, you can wake up tired, puffy eyes with cotton pads soaked in
 it.

Always Use Sunscreen


Use sunscreen even on days you don't think the sun is out: Skin cancer is a silent killer. Know the difference between UVA and UVB. And remember, it takes 30 minutes for the sunscreen to activate. Fewer wrinkles and sun spots, and less of a risk of cancer!

Treat Hands and Neck


Apply facial serums or lotions to the back of your hands and then "roll" the back of your hands up your neck. Now you've treated your neck and hands at the same time. These are the two telltale areas often forgotten that show signs of aging.

Sleep on Your Back


I always sleep on my back. Doing so prevents wrinkles and keeps my boobs from sagging.


Moisturize Naturally


The best moisturizer for your skin should be loaded with antioxidants, will not clog pores, and will help protect against skin cancer. Dab a little extra virgin olive oil on a cotton ball and use it as a nighttime moisturizer for your face and neck (and anywhere else you want to be soft!).

Use Honey as a Moisturizer


As soon as the weather turns cold, I put ordinary honey on the back of my hands for 3-6 days or nights. This stops red, scaly, bleeding hands from starting and keeps them smooth all winter.

Avoid Drinking Out of Straws


The pursing of the lips causes unnecessary wrinkles. Save that expression for kissing!

Extend the Reach of Your Eye Cream


I never put eye cream just on my eyes — I always extend it all the way out to the hairline. The skin between the eyes and the hairline is more like that of the eyes than the rest of your face. So far my eyes have been good to me!

Just Breathe


I take 10 breaths, three times per day (in through nose, out through mouth), at a 2-to-3 ratio. For example, breath in four seconds, then breath out six seconds. Focusing on your exhale releases more toxins, and allows more oxygen in cells. And when you're working out, do two to three all-out bursts for 12 seconds each during cardio...this can strengthen the inner membrane of mitochondria, which slows or prevents deterioration of cells.

Eat Your Antioxidants


Find them in foods such as blueberries, blackberries, cranberries, broccoli, tomatoes, spinach, carrots, kale, beans, prunes, raisins, tea, and whole grains.

Start Your Days with Lemons


Juice one Meyer lemon into a cup of water every morning to begin the day chasing free radicals (which are harmful and aging) out of your body.

Take Care of Your Lips


After I apply my eye cream, I rub the remainder that is on my finger around my lips. The skin is very similar.

Use Tea as More Than Just a Beverage


Wet (but don't drain) caffeinated tea bags and freeze. Use the frozen tea bags on closed eyes for 20 minutes three times a week to reduce dark circles, puffiness, and discoloration. Tea bags can be any brand but MUST have caffeine, which does the work.

Cool Down


Take cooler showers to combat dry skin. You'll notice the difference in less than a week. Especially on colder, windy days when you're tight on time and skip your body creams.

Angel's trumpet

Angel's trumpet is a heat-loving tropical or subtropical shrub that likes warm (80 -85 degrees F) days and cool nights. In cold-winter regions, you can grow it in a container and take it indoors over winter or simply treat it as an exotic, amazing annual. Grow it in moist, well-drained soil. Its fragrant, trumpet-shape flowers dangle from upright stems and appear in shades of white, yellow, pink, orange, and cream.

Note: All parts of the plant are poisonous if eaten, and the plant has been banned in some communities. Check local restrictions before planting it.

Take care

There is nothing more rewarding than taking care of yourself!

Yogurt-Zucchini Bread with Walnuts

This moist, nutty bread is a terrific way to use up late-summer zucchini. The walnuts in the bread are super-heart-healthy, and the yogurt adds moisture without any fat.

Ingredients:
1 cup(s) walnut halves, 4 ounces
2 cup(s) all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon(s) baking powder
1/2 teaspoon(s) baking soda
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
3/4 cup(s) plus 2 tablespoons sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup(s) vegetable oil
1/2 cup(s) fat-free plain Greek yogurt
1 cup(s) coarsely grated zucchini, from about 1 medium zucchini

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325°. Butter and flour a 9-by-4 1/2-inch metal loaf pan. Spread the walnut halves in a pie plate and toast them for about 8 minutes, until they are fragrant. Transfer the toasted walnuts to a cutting board and coarsely chop them, then freeze for 5 minutes to cool.
In a large bowl, whisk the flour with the baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a medium bowl, mix the sugar with the eggs, vegetable oil, and fat-free yogurt. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients along with the grated zucchini and toasted walnuts and stir until the batter is evenly moistened. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 1 hour and 10 minutes, until the loaf is risen and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the loaf cool on a rack for 30 minutes before unmolding and serving.
