10 easy ways to restore and protect your skin.
Get your elasticity back because the drooping, the falling, the
fine lines, the wrinkles, they're all from collagen and elastin.
That's the primary problem, and that's why people come to
clinics to get treatments done.
There's nothing better than giving my patients a perfect report card.
No treatments necessary.
A little bit of skincare will see you in a year.
I'm sharing my top 10 tips so you can get that same report card for you.
So let's start by first looking at the graph of collagen loss over time.
Look at the huge drop on this graph around menopause.
We know that, but also look at it starting at the age of 30,
and that's more and more common.
Unfortunately, we're seeing this from a younger and younger age.
It's why this video is so important.
For everyone.
The more you keep and maintain of this collagen, the better it will be.
Now, some of you missed a boat, you're gonna go, I'm 50, I'm 60.
Did I miss the boat?
This video's important for you too because now you can even restore some collagen.
So we'll help you as well with these tips.
So the word we're looking for, Is elasticity.
Elasticity is that physical stretch, the bounciness of the skin to pop back.
So you're going to notice that lack of bounce first wear around the eyes.
That's a driver to practices.
Slowly, you'll see that crinkled texture and the luster degrade.
around the mouth, lip lines, vertical lip lines, smokers lines, barcode lips.
Then finally the cheeks in the jaw line because bone does
play a role in those areas.
Okay, number one, hyaluronic acid.
One of the best skin products on the market for elasticity.
Is non crosslink, high alero acid with large and small molecules within it.
This gets right into your pores and encourages growth and plumpness of soft
tissue while keeping the skin hydrated, attracting water, and boosting the levels
of your collagen and lasting proteins.
These are all proteins.
You'll notice right away from the firm elastic feel that this product
gives you, and it can easily.
Even some deeper wrinkles.
If you give it some time, now, you have to stay hydrated for this to work.
So put it on your face while it's still moist and remember to hydrate from within.
It should be also your first layer before.
Your moisturizer that might then lock in the hyaluronic acid.
Some people do put an active, like a retinol on top.
It will make that retinol work better or be stronger, so be mindful for that.
Number two, vitamin C to further our first hip vitamin C
actually stimulates hyaluronic.
And collagen synthesis, so you had a double hit there.
Get vitamin C heavy in your diet through supplements and by consuming a lot
of citrus, fruits, green vegetables, broccoli, cabbage, and brussel sprouts.
Even though you guys don't like them, they're a high source of vitamin C.
You'll see this vitamin bring your skin back to life.
Topic.
I prefer best, and by applying it, you're getting that synergistic effect.
You wanna look for about 15% in your skincare.
That's the concentration level, 15 to 20%, but not everyone seems to
tolerate the 20, but if you can all the better, apply it as a second step.
After the high luronic acid and use it in the morning so
it thwarts the effect of sun.
I sometimes, if I'm getting a lot of sun, I put it on in the evening as well.
It's one of the most studied skincare products on earth and.
In going with study number three, sunscreen, SPF should always be the last
step of your morning skincare routine.
There's no need to use it at night.
For most people, you're not getting sun, but in the morning, your last
step, nothing's going to absorb through your sunscreen to work.
So your active products are first sunscreen last.
It's absolutely essential because it protects the skin from harmful UV
rays, and these are proven to destroy.
Collagen, they're proven to do it.
So using the SPF regularly will let your proteins live and restore
that elasticity in your skin.
It helps the MA machine machinery of your hyaluronic acid and your collagen pop up
a couple steps cuz the sun beats it down.
And we want to make more than we chew up cuz you naturally chew up
hyaluronic acid and collagen elastin.
And we make less and less as we get.
Because of that sun damage.
So protection's key.
Now, a lot of people worry about white casting that comes from your mineral.
S.
, but a lot of people don't want chemical sunscreen because they're worried about
the chemicals that have videos on those.
But if you're worried and you want a mineral, you don't want the white cast.
So when you put it on, it leaves the weight, uh, she to your skin.
People won't wear it.
That's called the white cast.
I tell people use that mineral tinted sunscreen and most people love it.
Um, we have one in our, uh, site is from revision.
It works really well.
People are happy and it blends with most skin colors.
So look for something like that.
Um, what I don't want people to do is avoid sunscreen because they
don't like that discoloration.
It's key number four.
Fish oils.
Omega three fatty acids from fish are used and secured right in your skin layers.
Locking in that hydration and supporting elasticity on might say
you'll see a formulation for cri oil.
I much prefer crill to fish oil and have many videos on why.
But it's more bioavailable for one, it's sustainable.
Uh, it is not rancid.
A lot of fish oil people use ends up getting rancid and it has astatin.
That's the key.
Fish oil typically don't have astatin, and astatin is one of the
most powerful antioxidants on earth.
It's found in crill oil, but whichever one used fish or.
It helps collagen production.
Number five, exfoliation and don't over exfoliate.
Uh, but there is a need to remove dead skin cells and regular exfoliating
will increase the strength and thickness of that epidermal layer.
As you manually cycle out of your old skin cells and you bring in the new,
you'll see softer, brighter texture with stronger lift, more collagen, and your
actives, your skin care will work better.
It doesn't have to go through all those dead skin cells.
There's chemical.
And physical exfoliation have complete videos on those.
Number six is going to be which hazel, It's rich in powerful antioxidants
that rid free radicals and help protect your elastin collagen that
you already have and help build more.
Some skin types are a bit sensitive to which Hazel.
But using it as a toner in skincare seems to work well for
people and they tolerate it.
But something you want to consider.
Number seven, collagen supplementation.
Now collagen's one of the two main proteins in skincare
that supports elasticity.
Current research boast supplements to reduce wrinkles, smooth out
texture, take years off your skin.
And if you look at the comments under my videos on collagen powder, you'll.
People support it.
They say, Yeah, I first see my hair, skin, and nails get better.
And then I see my joints improve kind of in that order.
Look for ones with fish cow, or bovine and chicken source.
So I like all three multiple ized collagen.
Now, if you don't want to spend money on a collagen powder, uh, I take collagen.
Even no matter if I'm taking other sources of collagen or not, cuz I
know I'm getting a base level, but if you want to and you have time, you
can make your own with bone broth at home if you're using collagen powder.
One key is look for unflavored.
It has less sugar.
Watch my videos on collagen powder.
Number eight, gin.
Sing tea.
Now, many of you already drinking this, but it's one of the most
clinically proven teas in skincare.
We love gin sing.
It has diverse properties of antioxidants and natural B vitamins.
B vitamins are the key here.
And a lot of times you don't get them from other sources.
These elements of uh, vitamins bring collagen and elastin to the epi d.
While increasing healthy blood flow and circulation.
Number nine, base massage.
Now, when we're testing skin care, we use what we call a placebo,
which is something that might have a little carrier but nothing active.
And then we have our active product that we're trying to test.
Well, the placebo group gets better.
They might get 20, 30, 40% improved over the active group, which may
get 60 or 70% improved, but still.
Something with nothing in it.
They get better.
Why?
Because they're massaging.
They're putting something on their skin.
We know massage has some benefits By increasing blood flow, it might
exfoliate a little bit and just by paying attention to the skin, so getting
in a moisturizing face, massage in your nighttime skin care routine can
stimulate and contour your face Muscles always massage upwards and against.
The gravity that pulls down, starting from your neck of course, and then your jawline
and working your way up is the best way to do it and enhance skin quality.
Now, number 10 is sleep.
Of course, it seems like we can never get enough, right?
I talk a lot of my practice about sleep for skincare cuz my patients who get
high quality sleep look younger, and I will always touch on this with them
because it really can't be compromised.
Inconsistent sleep can cause your body to produce that stress hormone.
Cortisol and as we know, stress puts the unnecessary years right on your face.
So prioritize time management, get your sleep in order.
If you get those 10 factors going for you, I can tell you you're
going to look 10 years younger.

nutritional things you can do at home.

Keep your skin and body beautiful.
And vibrant.
