As daunting as the onset of colder weather may be, autumn is an ideal time to correct any summer skin damage that has occurred and to prepare for winter. So here are some tips on how to maintain a hydrated healthy complexion during autumn and the coming winter months when skin tends to lose moisture.
- To start the process of rebuilding dry, flakey skin resulting from sun, chlorine and saltwater, incorporate exfoliation into your skin regimen. Choose a scrub/exfoliant that sloughs off dead skin but is gentle and helps stimulate natural oil production. Use True Elements® Radiance Scrub once or twice a week to buff the skin. This gentle facial scrub helps remove dead skin cells and allow the seaweed extracts to help boost hydration and energize the skin.
- Do not use artificially fragrant soap on your face because they contain sulfates and other chemicals and dyes. Instead, use True Elements® Velvet Cleansing Milk. It doesn’t contain any synthetic fragrances, parabens, mineral oils, phthalates, artificial coloring or preservatives. You get a gentle cleanser that works with your natural pH balance and natural enriching oils that nourish the skin while removing impurities.
- Use a soothing mask that deeply nourishes the skin. True Elements® Nutritional Mask helps stimulate the synthesis of collagen that might have broken down with overexposure to the sun. Hyaluronic acid helps plump up the skin while seaweed extracts help re-energize to restore brightness.
- As the air becomes drier, be sure to use a cream-based moisturizer to help reduce water loss from the skin. True Elements® Nourishing Face Cream is specifically formulated to moisturize the upper epidermis and to help soften and smooth the skin.
- What goes in your body affects the appearance of the skin as well what goes on it. Make sure to drink lots of water. Always bring your PiMag® Sport Bottle with you. Eat plenty of fruit and vegetables, lean proteins and healthy oils. Stay on the Active Wellness eating regimen. Remember, Everyday Weight Management is a lifestyle for a lifetime. Stay away from sugar as it’s known to be inflammatory and may adversely affect your skin as well.
Be Healthy by Choice and not by Chance
The Skinny on Organic Skincare
...as I entered my 40's I was still searching for a skincare routine that actually worked. Myself and my contrary, fair, freckled face had not gotten along in a decade.
Let me begin with a small slice of personal skin history as I entered my 40's I was still searching for a skincare routine that actually worked. Myself and my contrary, fair, freckled face had not gotten along in a decade. I had been dealing with rosacea and acne (adult acne) since my early 30's which was about the time in my career I was in front of a lot of crowds either speaking or educating, which only amplified my frustration with my skin.
So I sought professional help and we tried various topical and oral treatments. This worked to treat my conditions but it did not balance my skin. My skin was either too dry or too oily there was never any respite for my skin or my psyche. Therefore, I continued to diligently search for a solution that respected my skin.
My search finally ended earlier this year when I tried the True Elements Marine Organic Skincare line. Our skin is our largest organ and our first line of defense so It is just as important to me what I put on my skin as what I put in my body. I wanted an organic healthy choice but I also needed a complete line that I could afford. What really caught my eye was Marine Organic. my first thought was marine = moisture and my skin needs non-oily moisture. Through research I also learned that organic = tough. A common myth is that organic skincare is to mild to work on tough conditions but the truth is the extra minerals work harder for your skin. While harsh chemicals have your skin fighting in the trenches, organic skincare has you strategizing from the safety of HQ.
The True Elements Marine Organic (TEMO) skincare line contains the seaweed extracts laminaria, chondrus and ulva. These extracts provide trace elements and minerals that boost the radiance of your skin, maintain it's moisture content, aid redness, stimulate cellular metabolism, synthesis of elastin fibers, remineralize and nourish, reenergize and improve skin viscosity. Sea Fennel also helps stimulate cellular exchanges while brown seaweeds and seawater contribute to a toning and remineralizing action. TEMO also includes an A-list of old favorites like; shea butter, sunflower seed oil and aloe.
Hyaluronic acid in the Youth Activ Serum, Nutritional Mask and the Nourishing Face Cream helps your skin to build a moisture reserve that plumps the skin and stimulates collagen synthesis. Guys and gals, who doesn't want younger, firmer, healthier cleaner skin that doesn't involve a needle or harsh chemicals?
The entire TEMO line is organic and certified by Ecocert which makes it good for me and the environment. Two things I love and want to keep looking great for years and years to come.
