Why Retinol is important

Published by

Retinol is a form of Vitamin A and is commonly used in skincare products to improve the appearance of aging skin. As a dermatologist, I often recommend retinol to my patients for its various skin benefits. Retinol is a powerful ingredient that has been shown to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, even skin tone, and increase skin firmness. It works by increasing cell turnover and boosting collagen production, which leads to a more youthful appearance. One of the key benefits of retinol is its ability to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. As we age, our skin naturally loses its elasticity and firmness, which leads to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. Retinol helps to boost collagen production, which is a protein that provides structure and support to the skin. This increase in collagen leads to firmer, smoother skin, and a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Another benefit of retinol is its ability to even skin tone and reduce the appearance of dark spots and …

Body Energy Stickers to the Rescue

Published by

If you’re feeling tired, anxious or distracted, would you be willing to apply a sticker and skip your latte? Body Vibes are the latest wellness trend. They are smart stickers programmed to deliver natural frequencies to balance the body. Through a proprietary technology, frequencies are recorded and stored within the sticker. The key is to properly apply the sticker to your bare skin. Once applied, the sticker begins broadcasting stored frequencies which then begin to influence the cells in your body. This causes a balancing effect, restoring your body to its optimal electrical frequencies. There are stickers for mental focus, mood lift, anti-anxiety among others. If you want to give them a try, go for the Sacred 6 Variety Pack. “The cell is a machine driven by energy. It can thus be approached by studying matter or by studying energy. In every medical tradition before ours, healing was accomplished by moving energy.” – Dr. Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, Nobel Laureate in Medicine

Fall is the best time to visit a local farm and pick fresh apples.     HOW TO PICK ‘EM Pick apples that are smooth, firm, and free of bruises and punctures, which speed decay.

HOW TO STORE ‘EM Apples do best in cold storage; at room temperature they quickly become mealy. Keep them in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 weeks. Wash apples when you’re ready to use them.
