How Often Should You Exfoliate Skin?

Be sure to exfoliate facial skin 2 – 3 times a week ONLY (every other day). This allows the skin to rebuild, fresh new cells come to the surface, skin thickens and reverses thinning, fine lines smooth, age spots fade, and skin looks rejuvenated.

Many women using Retinol or scrubs nightly, can experience excessive thinning of the skin, which is what we want to avoid. So if you’ve been using an exfoliating scrub or Retinol nightly – simply cut back to just 2-3 times a week, and you will reverse the aging process and experience a younger, healthier looking complexion.

Is Bottled Water Preventing Your Weight Loss?

Are you drinking water but still can’t shed pounds? You may be retaining water, due to added “salt” in your bottled water. About 95% of the brands I researched on the grocer’s shelf had salt or sodium bicarbonate added!! One brand that was labelled ‘sodium-free’ was Aquafina. So be sure to read all bottled water labels.

Another, less costly solution is to think about purchasing a water ionizer. Just attach it to any regular faucet.

About Ionized Alkaline Water: Many water ionizing systems cost an arm and a leg (approx. $4000), but I discovered high quality units for ONLY $699 to $1000. I used to spend over $120 a month on bottled water. The cost of the ionizer reduced my water cost to $83 a month for the JUST first year, and now that my unit is paid for, I pay $0. We use this excellent-tasting, healthy water for drinking and cooking.

More benefits of ionized alkaline water…

– Look and feel more youthful and energetic,
– System hooks up to your tap in minutes,
– Removes lead, chlorine and other chemicals from tap water but leaves the minerals.
– Drinking pH balanced alkaline water may even help prevent some cancers.
– Is rejuvenating and provides oxygen to the body for more energy,
– Helps relieve seasonal allergies,
– Hydrates the body up to 6 times more than regular water and much more.

The water ionizer I recommend is offered at HydraHappy.com. FYI: It also makes ACID water which is the perfect pH for use on the outside of the body. It works wonders on skin and hair, and makes for an excellent hair rinse. Acid water helps kill bacteria so it’s great for those with acne and problem skin too.

For more information visit hydrahappy.com. NOTE: Get a discount on S&H when you mention Hollywood Beauty Secrets when placing your order with Mary Jo. She introduced my family to this great system. The water even tastes better than most bottled waters.

Brighten Yellow or Stained Nails

Try this effective recipe taken from my doctor-recommended book, ” Hollywood Beauty Secrets: Remedies to the Rescue“.

Mix 1 tsp. FRESH lemon juice with 2 tsps baking soda to make a paste. Rub each nail with the paste for about two minutes. Leave the paste on nails for five minutes afterwards. Then rinse off for brighter nails.

For darker, stubborn yellow stains, a light buffing, using a block nail buffer, can help eliminate stains.

To prevent stained or Yellow Nails: Avoid dark nail color or apply a clear base coat to prevent nails from staining. After wearing nail polish for a few days, remove color and allow nails to breath to prevent yellowing nails.

Four Tips that Keep Blemishes in Check

Four tips that help keep blemishes in check are:

1.Exfoliate (slough off skin) regularly to prevent plugged pores and blemishes. Exfoliate using Microdermabrasion Scrub (it’s paraben-free) or scrub with a little baking soda. After cleansing, while face is still wet, grab a handful of baking soda and gently scrub face in a circular motion. Then rinse. Do not use scrubs if you have rosacea. Instead, use an exfoliating cleanser like Glycolic Cleanser with marine plant extracts. .

2. Consuming zinc and soy-rich foods can help prevent blemishes and acne. Zinc-rich foods include eggs, liver, seafood, turkey, pork, mushrooms and milk. Soy-rich foods include soy milk (have a soy latte), soy yogurt, soy nuts, soybeans, soy cheese and tofu. You can also apply zinc ointment to blemishes at night before bed.

3. Dandellion root (tea) has been known to help purify the blood, which can help clear or prevent blemishes. Find it at a health food store.

4. Chlorella, a toxin-fighter and immune booster, is loaded with skin clearing and rminerals, chlorophyl and algae. When taken internally, it can help balance hormones, clear acne, makes hair shiny, uplifts energy and mood, freshens breath and helps keep your system regular. It’s also rejuvenates the skin and body. Just take 5-10 “pellets” after each meal of the day. Find Chlorella by Source Naturals at the health food store.

Is Your Lip Balm Causing Chapped Lips?

Do you have chronically dry or chapped lips even when applying a chapped lip stick daily? Most chapped lip sticks on the market include mineral and petroleum oil as the primary ingredients and often contain additional chemicals. These crude oil byproducts –(leftovers from producing gasoline) are found in most lotions and chapped lip sticks — causing DRY, chapped skin and lips. They have been proven to prevent the skin’s ability to properly moisturize itself.

Also lip balm is something you ingest every day as you sip drinks or eat foods, which is why I have my entire family using natural Jurassic Emu Oil Lip Care Balm. It’s moisturizing, affordable and healthy with no parabens or chemicals and is made with all natural ingredients: emu oil, beeswax, avocado oil, almond oil, cocoa biutter, lime lavendar & tea tree essential oils, shae butter, and rosemary extract. Apply Jurassic Emu Oil Lip Care Balm onto cracked or dry lips, dry or cracked fingers and cuticles, even warts, cold sores or dry patchy elbows. I keep one in my make-up bag, my purse and on my night stand.

With winter coming up, this is a must-have staple for the entire family. It safely soothes, protects, heals and moisturizes.
