How Long Before You Know Your Skincare Works?
How Long Before You Know Your Skincare Works?FRIDAY, MARCH 19, 2010 Are you a tried and true beauty junkie? If your bathroom shelves are overflowing with jars, bottles, and tubes, you’re not alone. Most women actually buy over three times more cosmetics than they could ever use in a lifetime. It’s a bit like shoes actually – you can never have too many pairs! We tend to have a short attention span for our skin care; we may use something new a few times and forget about it. Everyone wants instant effects and we aren’t always patient enough to put the time into a product or regime to really give it a fair shake. Generally, you need to use any product consistently for 3 weeks to see results, and in some cases, you may need twice that length of time. Just about any skin problem - sun damage, uneven skin tone, acne and blemishes, redness - can be improved by a conscientious daily ritual using a combination of key ingredients and formulations that suit your skin type and concern. Sticking with the same old products as your skin changes doesn’t work. Don’t be afraid to experiment when your skin care stops working for you. And don’t use the same tired old moisturizer that your mother used either. You don’t have the same skin as your mother did then or now, so you need something that works for you.

Do Facial Exercises Really Work?
Do Facial Exercises Really Work?THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 2010 Your face is the most exercised part of your body - it has 44 muscles. It gets plenty of exercise every time your muscles contract and relax. Since these muscles are attached to the skin (as opposed to the bones or tendons like other muscles in your body) every time they move—when you speak, eat, laugh, cry or scream —your skin moves. When you contract those muscles, that repetitive motion can cause wrinkles to appear in the skin. At the risk of going up against tradition, in my humble opinion, exercising those muscles more is just going to accentuate your wrinkles. Over time, creases form where the skin was contracted. The more you make the same facial movements, the deeper your lines get. The most compelling argument is that if facial exercises work, Botox® would not. Botox® stops muscles from moving, which we know reduces lines, creases, and wrinkles – just look at my forehead for proof! Wendy Lewis is President of Wendy Lewis & Co.

What Part of Your Face Ages First?
What Part of Your Face Ages First?THURSDAY, JANUARY 21, 2010 It's the eyes! The eyelid area tends to show visible signs of aging because the skin is thinnest and most delicate. (The soles of your feet have the thickest skin, in case you were curious.) The most fragile skin is where the effects of sun, time and stress show up first. It also gets the most movement and manipulation from squinting, rubbing, putting in your contact lenses, and perfecting your e.l.f. eye makeup! The eyelid area can also start to look veiny and darker from a combined assault from sun, allergies, sleep deprivation, salt intake, and daily wear and tear. Dark circles or discoloration can also be related to iron pigment from red blood cells. When blood passes through the veins close to the surface of the skin it can cause a bluish tint to appear. The more transparent or thin your skin is, the more pronounced these imperfections may be, and the more fine lines and wrinkles will show up. Tear troughs or hollows tend to form under the eye due to fatty tissue loss. Genetics plays a role too; if your parents' eyelids are hanging or sagging, chances are your eyelids may age the same way.
