There are different ways to keep our skin soft, smooth and healthy. Cleansing, toning, exfoliating and moisturizing are great ways to have healthy and young looking skin. Why not add an extra step to our skin care regimen to keep our face look fresh throughout the day? Have you heard of Skin Hydrating Mist? A fine spray over your face, neck and body rehydrates and refreshes your skin and combat aging. This is a skin regimen that you can take anywhere. Revitalize, rehydrate and refresh your skin throughout the day by spraying over the entire face, neck and body.

Try Evian Mineral Water Spray . It’s naturally pure mineral water that moisturizes and refreshes your skin all day. Each spray allows our skin to absorb minerals that all skin types need like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium. You can get this from Sephora , Nordstrom or other Skin Care online stores.

If you want to revitalize, moisturize and fight signs of aging, try BORBA atomizer. It has antioxidants from Mangosteen fruit that helps fight free radicals that harm our skin. Cucumber Extract is one of the active ingredients that soothes skin. You can buy this product from their website .

You can also try Kinerase Hydrating Antioxidant Mist. Some of its active ingredients are antioxidants from White Tea Extract, Hyaluronic Acid to moisturize skin and Aloe Vera that soothes skin. You can find this product at Sephora or other skin care stores online.

Two years ago, a co-worker of mine noticed my hands and said “You look really young but your hands look old!” From then on, I’ve been conscious about my hands so I started looking for ways to treat and improve my dry scaly hands. I’ve tried different hand cream products but they didn’t help at all. Until my brother introduced a product that’s really popular in Canada. Glysomed is a product from Germany but you can always get one online. I’ve been using Glysomed since then and my hands have improved a lot. You can also read what other people are saying about this product .  It has Glycerin to hydrate and restore skin’s moisture balance, and Silicone that locks in moisture. It also has Chamomile to soothe dry and irritated skin and Antioxidants to keep skin look healthy. I’m happy and content with Glysomed.

Today, my co-worker brought some stuff home from Europe. One of the things she gave us is a hand cream made in Germany called Kamill Hand & Nail Cream . She says this product is popular in Europe and it works great. Her mom has been using this and very happy with it. Although both products are made in Germany, you can still get one online.

Glutathione is a popular whitening pill that is used by Asian women most especially by famous Asian celebrities. I can say that this is really effective as I noticed that my friend is now blemish free and her skin tone turned lighter.

Glutathione is an anti-oxidant composed of three amino acids (glycine, glutamic acid and cystein). It protects cells from toxins such as free radicals that cause blemishes and skin pigmentation. It is best to keep the level of Glutathione high in our body to strengthen the immune system, reduce the chances of developing cancer, protect us against heart disease and slows down the aging process. The known side effect of taking Glutathione is whitening of the skin.  So, Glutathione doesn’t only help you stay healthy but it also gives you a whiter, smoother and flawless complexion. Sweet!!

Glutathione can be taken orally. You can get these pills from drug stores like GNC or online pharmacies. You can also try Shiseido Pure White . This specific Shiseido product is found in Japan. You can buy a bottle on Ebay .  After four to six months, you will begin to notice the difference in your complexion and skin tone.

Another way to take Glutathione is through an intravenous (IV) injection. Dermatologists prefer injecting Glutathione directly into your vein because it goes directly into our bloodstream. This is usually a 15-session process done weekly.

It’s a bit slow today at work so here I am writing an article about Teen Acne.  Last night, my daughter was telling me how happy she is about her skin.  She used to have a lot of pimples on her forehead.  I was so concerned about it as I know exactly how it is to have pimples at her age.  I’ve been there, done that.  She has tried different acne products until she finally found the right one that works great for her skin. If you’re still looking for the right skin care product, you might want to try Mario Badescu. You can visit Mario Badescu’s website to find out which Mario Badescu skin products suit your skin type or condition by filling out a questionnaire .

Here’s her skin regimen for a healthy smooth acne free skin:

1.  Cleanse face using a Mario Badescu Facial Cleanser.  She uses the Enzyme Cleansing Gel.  It has Papaya Extracts that help rebuild skin by drawing out impurities giving you fresh and glowing complexion.
2.  Toner to dry up acne and prevent new ones.  Special Cucumber Lotion is non-drying and non-irritating sulfur based toner that helps fight acne.
3.  Moisturize to hydrate and protect skin.  Mario Badescu A.H.A. & Ceramide Moisturizer is what she uses. It has lemon extract and aloe.

4.  Treat pimples with their famous Drying Lotion.  It has Calamine and Salicylic Acid that help clear up and soothe whiteheads.
5.  Exfoliate twice a week. This is her favorite part of her skin regimen. She uses Mario Badescu Almond & Honey Face Scrub to exfoliate dead skin cells.
6. Apply facial mask after exfoliationg your face. This is also done twice a week. This draws impurities and dries pimples.

I’m over 35 years of age and have started seeing signs of aging on my face. These visible signs are fine lines, wrinkles, skin pigmentation, dull skin, dark circles around the eyes and even dry or chapped lips. I have learned that we shed dead skin cells naturally but as we age, skin renewal slows down. On top of healthy eating habits, regular exercise, and positive attitude, there are other ways to have healthy, younger looking skin. I have tried and tested different products to help improve my skin and finally found a brand that actually works. I would like to share with you a few tips to combat signs of skin aging as well as an effective product that I have learned to love.

First, cleanse and moisturize your face daily. Use products that have antioxidants that protect skin against free radical damage. Free radicals weaken collagen and elastin which are the fibers that make our skin firm and smooth.

I use BORBA Elastin Fiber Facial Cleanser .  It contains Acai fruit that is rich in antioxidants. I cleanse my face with this product twice a day followed by BORBA 4-in-1 Tinted Moisturizing Treatment .

Next step is Exfoliation.  I exfoliate my face twice a week to remove dead skin cells. We shed dead skin cells naturally to allow new layer of skin to surface. But, as we get older, cell renewal slows down. Exfoliation helps speed up the renewal process.

I use BORBA Diamond-Dermabrasion Peel Treatment to help improve the quality of my skin. I used to have large pores and after several uses of this product, it minimized my pores and at the same time made my skin feel smoother. This product is a 2-step treatment that contains micro-diamonds to unclog pores and speed up skin exfoliation.

Another way to have healthy smooth skin is to drink plenty of water everyday.  Water moisturizes our skin and keeps it smooth and healthy. This is the cheapest and most effective way to have a healthy, younger looking skin.

Instead of drinking coffee every morning, I drink BORBA Age Defying Skin Balance Water . It contains Acai berry that is rich in antioxidants that promotes healthy, younger looking skin.
