How to: Age Gracefully with Skin Care

Here are 4 Quick Tips to live by!

1. PROTECT Your Skin.
The best, most important thing you can do for your skin at any age, is consistently use sunscreen. Make it a habit to make it a part of your daily routine, because sun damage is the number one cause of premature aged skin. Using a moisturizer with an SPF of 15 or higher is ideal.
We love PCA Skin's extensive line of moisturizers with SPF, because they provide ultimate protection without an overly thick, creamy sunscreen feel.

2. Keep it Moist.
Experts say that moisturizer is a critical piece of the puzzle. Despite what type of climate you live in, it is necessary. This is the place you want to avoid being frugal. If you spend money on anything, it should be toward a good moisturizer, complete with a gentle cleanser (NO bar soap on your face. Ever.), and an alcohol-free toner.

3. More Does Not Mean Better.
Don't overdo it. Don't over-exfoliate (once a week at most), and don't over scrub your face, (even if it's just with water and a washcloth). The skin on your face is fragile - treat it with care.

4. Utilize the Experts.
Speaking with a professional will help you to establish a good base of knowledge about how to care for your face. If you move climates, your skin will move right along with you. The same is true with seasons. An expert can help guide you through those changes and reccommend proactive self-care steps.

How Often Should I Get a Facial?



Facials are a hallmark in skin maintenance. If done regularly, the treatments can minimize environmental damage and aging, and promote an attractive, healthy glow!
So to answer the question, once a month is ideal due to the rate of cellular turnover. Pore congestion and flaky, dull skin is caused by the dead skin cells that build up in between treatments. Therefore, the idea behind a facial is to provide a deep cleansing that will remove the dirt, dead skin cells, and oil build up. This will allow your pores to function properly, and keep your skin looking smooth, healthy, and vibrant.
A good facial usually should consist of a skin consultation which is followed by a deep cleansing, exfoliation, massage, mask, and hydration (a moisturizer with SPF in it of course!)

The *Sweet* Relief of Stress

Can a chocolate bar provide relaxation?
Well, Swiss researchers have found that the dark chocolate kind has shown the ability to reduce stress and tension when consumed daily. The wonder that is dark chocolate contains antioxidants and is also known to fight heart disease.

Scientists at Switzerland's Nestle Ranch Research Center (which is connected with the chocolate brand of the same name), conducted a study group with highly stressed individuals and had them eat 1.4 ounces of dark chocolate every day.

After a review of their blood and urine samples (taken once before the testing period, and at the end of the two-week study), the scientists discovered that the stress hormones catecholamine’s and cortisol dropped significantly over that time.
