Your skin is the largest organ of your body and it has to do a lot of work. It needs "feeding" from the inside and outside to keep it operating at its best and keep you looking your best. So consider "snack" time for your skin. Your skin looks its best with multiple "feedings". Consider feeding your skin 3-6 times a day from the inside and out. Here are some suggestions:
Inside:1. Unsweetened frozen fruit and a little yogurt makes a quick smoothie.2. Hummus filled deviled eggs.3. Almonds (a handful is 23 almonds) and an apple. (Eaten before a meal almonds trigger hormones that tell your brain that you are full.)4. Lowfat cheese stick.5. Cherry tomatoes.6. Nut and raisin or craisin mix.7. Carrots and grapes.
Outside:1. Facial Rejuvenation is a great way to directly feed you skin by supplying it with the vitamins, amino acids and molecular building blocks your skin needs to give your skin more resiliency and glow. You'll see the effects before you leave the office as well as a time released result that continues to unfold over the next 3-6 months. 2. Watch a favorite TV show from a stationary bike, treadmill, or elliptical machine. The increase in metabolism burns fat now and later and the increase in circulation keeps your skin glowing.3. Moisturize with a good moisturizer like the Newport Moisturizer we have at New You.4. Remember to apply a good SPF 30 lip balm especially in the winter when the sun can be intense. The Smart Screen Lip Balm is a good example.5. Relax facial muscles every 90 minutes. This can be done with a simple self massage. You'll be surprised how much wrinkle creating tension gets stored in the small muscles of the face. This also has the additional advantage of reducing tension headaches.6. Mix powdered milk in your bath water for smoother softer skin.7. Get some more sleep. Try to get more 8 hour nights so your body and skin have time to recover and burn fat.
Of course these are just starters but the important thing is that you develop healthy inside and outside nutritional habits for your skin so your appearance doesn't starve!
