Anti-Aging Skincare Tips

Prior to my trip to New York City, I had the most glorious, rejuvenating facial at Life Time Fitness Life Spa Atlanta.  It was just what my face needed, and honestly so overdue for a facial.  My esthetician, Stacy, at Life Time Fitness was amazing, and she gave me the best anti-aging skincare tips, which was just what I needed.  I’m only getting older, so anti-aging skincare tips are on my radar.  Here’s a fact that most people don’t know–you don’t have to be a member of Life Time Fitness to book an appointment at their spa.  Life Spa is open to the public so you don’t need a membership to Life Time Fitness.  The best thing is if you book a spa or salon appointment, you get access to the rest of the gym!  Workout facility, pool, classes and even free babysitting up to two hours!  Such a perfect deal for moms who need a little freshening up, and who wants the benefit of childcare and workout opportunities in a beautiful facility.

When I went to my facial, I headed over in my workout clothes so I could take a good workout prior to my appointment.  After I met with Stacy, the esthetician who did my facial.  I got Life Time Fitness’ new facial treatment called the mimosa, which incorporates lemon essential oil, vitamin C scrub, radiant eye contour cream and hydrating mask.  The facial was so wonderful!  The mimosa facial is oxygen base so it stimulates the skin for repair.  Stacy gave me some really great anti-aging skincare tips.  I’m excited to use these tips in my own daily skincare routine.  The anti-aging skincare tips are listed at the end of the post.  I left Life Time Life Spa with a bag of skincare goodies that I’m share below.

5 Anti-Aging Skincare Tips

  1. Skincare should be broken up by daily maintenance, monthly maintenance and quarterly maintenance.  I posted a good daily and weekly skincare routine that I have found to be beneficial.  Stacy says that facials are very beneficial for skincare and should be a quarterly maintenance routine.  She says that facials help to prep the face for the season.  Facials prior to winter, help to brighten up the face while facials prior to summer help to stimulate cell repair from sun damage.  She also says that if you have quite a bit of wrinkles and sun damage, facials are encouraged on a monthly basis until you see positive progress on skin improvement.  Facials are also great for extractions of black heads and deep cleaning of pores.
  2. Incorporate a Clarisonic brush into your daily skincare routine.  Stacy says that the Clarisonic brush is a great way to improve circulation in your face.  It also helps to tone muscles and remove toxins via the lymphatic system.  Fresh blood flow to the skin is what nourishes the cells and maintains healthy cell turnover.  I have started to use the Clarisonic brush and am loving the results as I have a lot of black heads, and it’s helping to keep it under control.
  3. Add Retinol to your nightly skincare routine for anti-aging.  Retinol is a skincare must-have that I am incorporating and loving!  It helps with fine lines, dark spots, wrinkles, acne, rough or sun damaged skin. I’m a retinol newbie, so I’ve been using it twice a week.  I will increase the frequency once my face gets use to it.  I picked up Skin Medica Age Defense Retinol when I was at Life Time Life Spa because it also has an array of antioxidants to help fight blemishes, scars and age spots.
  4. Add a Vitamin C Serum to your daily skincare routine.  Stacy highly recommended I pick up a Vitamin C serum to enhance protection against UV exposure since I’m out in the sun everyday with my kids.  Vitamin C is also a great antioxidant and stimulates collagen production so it increase glow and evens out dark spots.  Revision Vitamin C lotion is ideal for all skin types and protects from free radicals.
  5. Make sure you put on moisturizer sunscreen everyday on your face even during the winter months for anti-aging.  Stacy constantly stressed the importance of making sure my daily face moisturizer had a SPF.  I picked up the Revision Intellishade Moisturizer because it provides a broad spectrum protection of a 45 SPF and it has a foundation tint to it, which is perfect to wear during the summer months when I wear minimal makeup.  It also has peptides to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

Best Skincare Beauty Products for Cold Weather

I am not kidding when I say my skin cracks and bleeds in the cold weather winter months.  If I am not on top of my skin’s moisture, I get sores from the irritation and dryness, and I have to bandage up my skin to stop the hurt and help the healing process.  Extreme weather changes definitely can create havoc on your skin and your daily beauty regimen.  So I have been on the hunt of the best skincare beauty products for cold weather.  Living in the south, my skin has become use to the humidity.  So, right when there is a lack of moisture it rapidly becomes flaky with scaly patches and then the deep skin cracks start to appear.  Anyone else have these extremities?  This year, I am getting ahead of the winter months and have been testing out skincare beauty products the last month to get my defense game on.  You know how I love and am loyal to coconut oil, which I still am, but I am starting to incorporated the following skincare beauty products in my daily regimen.  So, here my choices for the best skincare beauty products for cold weather:

Best Skincare Beauty Products for Cold Weather:

Nubian Heritage Coconut Papaya Hand Cream–this hand cream goes with me on the go.  I keep it in my purse and pull it out after I wash my hand to help keep my hands moist.  The hand cream is thick and healing.  Made with shea butter, coconut oil and aloe vera, it delivers nourishment and hydration to chapped, dry hands.

Nubian Heritage African Black Soap Body Bar— African black soap is known to treat eczema, acne, and other skin ailments.  The Nubian Heritage brand is designed to hydrate, cleanse and calm skin problems.  Wash your body everyday with the African black soap body bar and you will have balance skin tone and improve skin texture.

Lalicious Brown Sugar Shower Oil and Bubble Bath–Whether you use it as a shower oil after washing your body with the black soap or a bubble bath, the probiotic formula and comfy scent of brown sugar, will leave your skin silky smooth.  The oil is made with grapeseed oil and jicama root juice that will leave your skin soft and moisturized.

Pur Big Look mascara–Made with Argan oil, this mascara is not only nourishing but keeps your lashes full with a dewy sheen all day.  In cold weather, my lashes get beat up with the wind and cold breeze.  The oil protects and Pur Big look is an extreme lash enhancer.

Revlon ColorStay Eye Pen–This eyeliner glides on smoothly and lasts up to 16 hours even in the extreme conditions.  Whenever there is a cold breeze against my face, my eyes tend to water and my makeup usually runs.  But not when I wear the Revlon ColorStay eye pen because it stays put!  This is a great skincare beauty product for cold weather that you can just pick up at your local grocery store.

MakeUp Eraser–The MakeUp eraser is the pink travel-sized towel that is truly magical in erasing your makeup at the end of a day.  After wetting it with warm water, it will gently remove even the toughest waterproof formulas and is gentle on your face, which our face needs in cold weather.  I’ve been taking it will me in my travel toiletry bag.

Ultra Repair Cream–After you are done washing your body in the African black soap and brown sugar shower oil, lather on some Ultra Repair Cream because it seriously does some intense body repair.  You can put it on your body and face.  Not only can you see the immediate skin results but it traps the moisture so your skin feels hydrate all day long.  If your skin is itchy this works so well!  I love how it’s thick and helps with my dry spots on the back of my arms and thighs.

Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream–I picked up a sample of this anti-aging day cream because I wanted to try it out before I made the big purchase.  I am getting older and am already concerned with wrinkles!  I heard good results about it and so far I am loving when I see.  It’s smooth and cream and hydrates the skin.  I feel like my skin is looking younger and healthier.  So far I have just been using in the morning time as a moisturizer.  A little bit does go a long way!

Farmacy Honey Potion— I am not much of a face mask girl, but after trying this mask I am obsessed!  My face loves it.  Made with natural ingredients like honey, it is a warming mask so it feels great during the cold months and while on gives your face warmth and a tinkling feeling.  It not just another product that enhances the skin for a younger appearance.  Of course, we love that!  But it has antibacterial properties that comes from the honey and helps clear up acne.  And can I mention that I love the packaging.

So what are some of your favorite skincare beauty products for cold weather?  I am always on the hunt!  In the meantime, if you try any of these products please let me know what you think!
