Part II: Techniques for Mature Skin Care

Having a skincare routine is important for both men and women of any age. It’s never too late to take a close look at what your skin needs. If you are looking into ways to care for you mature skin with NeriumAD and other methods, check out these techniques for mature skin care: 

Sleep with a humidifier 

While mature skin has its advantages, a common problem with this skin type is dryness. Especially during winter months, religious moisturizing may not even be enough. You should look into using a different strategy—sleeping with a humidifier may be the key to getting your mature skin to hold moisture. Sleeping with a humidifier will help you wake up looking refreshed with moisture that can last all day. 

Adventurous anti-aging

Mature skin is great for experimenting, as this skin type tends to be more stable without the same concerns as the more unpredictable skin of those in their teens and twenties. Developing skin types will be more prone to blemishes and oiliness, making it problematic at times to try new products or strategies. Skincare experts suggest trying out one new product at a time so that if your skin does not react well, you know exactly which product is the culprit. Mature skin is often less temperamental, meaning you can be more adventurous with your anti-aging when you don’t have to worry as much about blemishes. While you can use these strategies with any type of skin, mature skin will be more flexible to rotate moisturizers, layer peels and masks, and using anti-aging strategies that adolescent skin may not be able to handle. 

However, you don’t always have to take risks when it comes to addressing the signs of aging. No matter your age or comfort level, I always suggest NeriumAD for any skin type that is concerned with the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Since NeriumAD is safe for use on skin at any age, the only “adventurous” aspects of NeriumAD are the results and the technology that this cream uses to reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles. The only product of its kind to contain Nerium oleander extract, procured with advanced extraction technology, NeriumAD has impressed in clinical trials and with consumers of all ages. For a rejuvenated, youthful look, NeriumAD is the product for you. 

Richer cleansers

Cleansing is important at any age, but mature skin will want to use a richer cleanser than others. Mature skin cleansers should feel oilier, as acne is less of a concern for this type of skin. This is one of the easiest ways those with mature skin can care for their skin, along with NeriumAD.

These are just some of the ways you can work towards better skincare. Stay tuned for more skincare tips for mature skin!

Tackling the 5 Most Common New Year’s Resolutions: Part III

To help gear up for the new year, we’ve been taking a look at common resolutions along with tips for making and keeping them. The most common issue with a New Year’s resolution is being overly ambitious—it’s much easier to gradually work towards a goal or starting an easy habit like nightly use of NeriumAD. Some other common problems with New Year’s resolutions include: 

·         Quitting cold turkey 

With the two general types of resolutions, starting something or stopping something, quitting something cold turkey is the equivalent of being overly ambitious when starting a new activity. Stopping a behavior cold-turkey just isn’t always reasonable. Saying you’ll never eat sugar or carbs again isn’t something you’ll likely  be able to stick to for the rest of your life, and then indulging once may cause frustration with keeping the goal up. Instead, cut down gradually—if you’re an all-day soda sipper, cut it down by half, then one a day, then make a weekly goal. This minimizes the chances for a relapse, rebelling against harsh restrictions, or going cold-turkey on your resolution all together. 

·         Making vague goals

Often, failed New Year’s resolutions just aren’t specific enough. When you’re making a general goal such as eating better or being more active, it’s hard to stick to it without any measurable requirements. Set a goal such as hitting the gym three times a week, eating two more servings of vegetables a day, or cutting it down to a single cup of coffee in the morning. 

Or, pick a resolution that’s easy to develop into a habit. In our last post, we discussed how tackling the goal of reducing the look of fine lines and wrinkles can be difficult using a method like booking appointments with a dermatologist. This method can take a lot of time, and it’s hard to depend on the availability of your doctor to fit appointments into your schedule regularly. Instead, add a simple step to an existing routine—such as applying NeriumAD every night before you go to bed. Soon, you’ll be improving the appearance of your wrinkles as regularly as you brush your teeth or kiss the kids good night; this way, your habit is hard to forget and there’s no temptation to skip. Besides, with ingredients like Nerium oleander extract, NeriumAD is a scientifically proven way to achieve results. 

·         Environment

If you’re immersed in an environment that makes your New Year’s resolution difficult to keep, you’ll be tempted more often. You can’t always avoid this, but becoming aware of the challenge can make it easier. If everyone in your office drinks coffee, or your friends always order dessert, keep in mind that being around these activities will make it seem like breaking your resolution is unavoidable—it’s not necessarily that your goal itself is getting too hard, just that you’re tempted more often.

-Keep your hairstylist by your side

When making an appointment with your hairstylist for the morning or afternoon of your wedding, inquire about the possibility of booking him or her on-site for a few hours. Splurge and plan to have your stylist present for touch-ups before and after your ceremony and during the first couple of hours of your reception. Doing so will have you thrilled to smile for photo ops that have both you and your groom looking fantastic.

-Experiment with new beauty solutions, but do so in advance

Considering splurging on a spray tan? Trying out a new perfume? Booking an appointment with a manicurist who comes well recommended? Don’t hesitate- experimenting with new beauty solutions can be exciting! Just remember- when treading on unfamiliar territory, it’s best to do so in advance. Don’t wait until the week of your wedding to have your hair highlighted, try out a new eye serum, or delve into any beauty solution that isn’t tried and true. If having your brows threaded for the first time doesn’t come with the results that you expected, there’s no need to panic. As long as you’ve booked three weeks in advance, you’ve allowed for recovery time. If your spray tan appears to be a little orangish in hue, you aren’t stuck with it on your way to the altar. Conversely, if your brand new manicurist is the most talented you’ve ever encountered, you’ll have peace of mind when it comes to your nails, and your hands will look spectacular for all of those ring close-ups.

Don’t stress over the details of your wedding day! Enjoy every moment of being surrounded by friends and family. Look forward to a beautiful future full of love and wonderful things to come. Thank you so much for reading and congratulations!

Tackling the 5 Most Common New Year’s Resolutions: Part II

New Year’s is a time of renewal and rebirth, when you see packed gyms and picked-over vegetable aisles more than other times of the year. In our last post, we talked about the common goals of exercise, dieting, and an improved appearance along with tips for reaching these goals, such as introducing healthy habits gradually and user friendly products like NeriumAD. Keep reading for the last two common resolutions and tips for keeping up with your goals this year. 

4.            Quitting smoking

As a common bad habit, I often have clients telling me they want to finally quit smoking this year. There’s no one best way to quit smoking, so perhaps after trying a method without success, such as patches, going cold-turkey, cutting down gradually, or  medication, look into something different. Quitting smoking is a great goal, so keep at it! 

5.            More time with loved ones

Whether it’s your significant other, family, or friends, many want to spend more time with loved ones for their resolution. Try planning regular time together, such as weekly date nights and family nights, monthly dinners, or whatever works for your relationship.

No matter what your New Year’s goal is this time, there are some important things to keep in mind so that yours don’t fall in the category of the estimated 92% of resolutions that fail. Before resolutions even fail, there are common issues with resolutions that make them difficult to keep: 

·         Over-ambition

The most common source of a failed resolution is over-ambition. If you decide to go from couch potato to body builder, it’s easy to either get burned out or frustrated that it’s so difficult to keep your resolution. The nature of resolutions cause people to think that their habits must change drastically starting January 1^st. Taking smaller steps make a habit easier to keep. 

When starting an activity, people often picture an end goal when making their resolution—like getting six-pack abs. But when this doesn’t happen immediately, it can be disheartening. Try a resolution that involves reasonable goals and extensions after you reach those goals. Or if you have a general goal, focus on smaller aspects and then expand your routine. 

For example, in my last post, I mentioned the goal of improving appearance. Take the easiest steps first, like integrating NeriumAD into your bedtime routine for those that hate seeing fine lines and wrinkles every time they look in the mirror. A simple nightly application of this one-of-a-kind product, the only to contain Nerium oleander extract, can give encouraging results. Developing a habit that helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles can help stick to your goal—it’s hard to make a habit with a method like seeing a dermatologist, since finding the time and available appointments doesn’t always work out regularly. Once you have this habit down, you can look into other avenues of appearance like wardrobe or hair care. 

Check back soon for our last installment of this series, where we’ll look at more reasons why resolutions fail and tips for keeping them.
