5/8/2023 Skin Care Gadgets Sure to Please Mom for Mother’s Day: Gua Sha, Derma Roller, Cupping Set, And SolawaveRead Now Continuing my Mother’s Day Inspiration this week, I am going to share some FABULOUS skin care gadgets that I have incorporated into my own anti-aging skin care routine. All of these were delightful surprise gifts from family for various occasions. If you have someone in your life that loves self-care and enjoys pampering themselves, even a little, these gifts are PERFECT! The anti-aging benefits of each of these tools pay-off with continued use. Gua Sha has received a lot of attention in recent years. There’s no shortage of technique videos and demonstrations on social media and YouTube. This anti-aging massage method helps with circulation, lymphatic drainage, and over all health. Holistic Gua Sha actually dates back to ancient civilizations so there must be some value to it. I use these devices on my face and body several times a week. The stone tools help relieve stress and flush the toxins. You can find the 2 kits that I have below. The second set includes a jade roller which is so refreshing used on the face and neck before your daily routine. I keep mine refrigerated which helps minimize inflammation and puffiness in the face. The roller is helpful for maximum absorption, after applying serums and creams. Both of these beautiful stone sets come beautifully packaged for luxe gifts and have their own pouches for storage. These are, each, a phenomenal value.   The next device that I have incorporated into my beauty regimen, a few times per week at night, is this Derma Roller Micro-needling device. It’s inexpensive but rivals the dermatologist treatments. The tiny needles poke into the skin improving circulation, boosting collagen production, opening up the top layer to better absorb beauty product, and thus offering tremendous anti-aging benefits. After just a few uses I notice a more youthful overall appearance and definite glow. It is important to use very light pressure and keep this device clean after each use. I recommend finding a YouTube video on the proper technique.  Another great product, that I would never have thought of on my own, is this cupping set. It’s beautifully package and comes with an array of sizes for facial cupping. I do this on mornings that I feel extra puffy. Cupping is a great way to stimulate circulation and promote lymphatic drainage. Cupping is touted for a myriad of health benefits including wrinkle reduction and improvement in the look of a double chin. I do notice that it helps tremendously with puffiness. I clean my face, and follow with aloe vera gel or oil, depending on the needs of my skin that day. I recommend looking for a YouTube video demoing the technique and to start off with a very light suction and gentle pulling.  Finally, if you are looking for a more expensive luxury device, I highly recommend the Solawave. this is a fairly new device on the market. My daughter uses a blue light version to prevent and help with healing of blemishes and uneven skin tone. Mine is a red light therapy wand and is designed to treat aging. Red Light Therapy has received a tremendous amount of buzz recently. The heat, vibration and infrared light are touted to boost the immune system, heal complexion issues, eliminate dark spots, and help improve fine lines and wrinkles. Over time, with consistent use, this wand is said to boost your own production of collagen improving the overall appearance of the face and neck. It has great reviews so far. I have incorporated my wand, once daily AM or PM on clean skin. There is a serum/gel recommended that improves the wand’s effectiveness. The wand comes with its own USB cord for charging and packs nicely for travel. Check it out at this link  These are all devices that I love using in my skin care regimen. I see significant results when I am consistent with my skincare. They all seem to work very well for me. Of course everyone has different skin care needs and results may vary. Speak to your own healthcare provider about what’s best for your skin.

 Who doesn’t like a day of self-care and pampering? Especially busy moms who devote all of their time to others. Some of the best exercises in the ritual of self-care are very relaxing and beneficial simultaneously. For example face masks. These serum packed gems are full of moisture that locks into the skin and performs the tasks of: awakening, depuffing, brightening, moisturizing, anti-aging, peeling, wrinkle-reducing-whatever result is preferred. The mask itself requires the wearer to take pause a moment, lay back and relax too. A win-win for the skin and the person. I don’t know a single mom that doesn’t enjoy pampering her face. That’s why these fabulous masks and gels from Amazon make the perfect, luxurious, yet cost effective, gift for Mother’s Day or any day for that matter. I have tried countless facial treatment products. Below I share some of my favorites - that I am using quite regularly these day for my aging skin. First, the Dermal multi-pack combo of single use masks. Currently less than $1 per mask, this set includes everything for the full face and works well on sensitive skin. The variety pack is from Korea which is touted for exceptional skincare and beauty products. All of the masks contain collagen and other skin booting ingredients and offer a variety of results including: anti-aging, moisturizing, redness removal and even skin tone, firming, anti-wrinkle, anti-aging, and clarifying. This kits have something for ay skin care need and there are enough to use 3-4 times or week. I use them once per week in my beauty regimen Find this delightful mask set by clicking here Another great find, that couples well with the Dermal masks or any mask is the Lindo Silimask. This is a 2 pack of washable, reusable silicone face mask covers. Wearing one of these over a mask retains the moisture, allowing for a longer wear time and prevents moving, slipping and dripping. The silicone mask also seals in the moisture even more, allowing for better absorption of the serums in the mask. These covers are great for the person who wants to mask but is too busy. With this cover, it is possible to be up and moving around while wearing a face mask. The silicone cover works well over masking gels too.  Find it here Next, I love these gold under-eye patches. There are tons of options available on Amazon. I will link the ones that I, personally, use below. The cooling under eye gels eliminate puffiness and dark circles while smoothing fine lines and wrinkles. I love to place these on my under eye right after a shower and wear them while drying my hair, brushing teeth, until I am ready to put on makeup. As is shown in the photo I will often move them from my eye to my laugh lines, They work beautifully in reducing the look of lines and wrinkles, in both places. If time permits, I often place them on my forehead lines for a bit too.   Find the eye gels here Next this sleeping gel pack mask is perfect for travel. It comes in individual ampoules and is the exact measurement for one use. According to the manufacturer the mask contains Collagen-derived Mucin, Antioxidant Vitamin C, Natural Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid and Ceramides to help instantly nourish and provide deep moisture to the skin, Improves dry itchy skin, redness and rosacea. I sleep with this gel pack anytime I am traveling and once per week if I feel my skin needs a moisturizing boost. I do seem to wake the next day with plumper skin that is very moist and bright. At less than $.50 a pack, this is well worth it.  This moisture boosting gel pack set is available here. Any of these masks, alone, make a thoughtful gift for Mom (or for any skin care lover in your life), on any occasion. My daughters gifted these comforting masks to me as a bundle in a self-care basket- which would work great for Mother’s Day. I just love them all.

With age, I’ve found my face, arms and legs dry out even more, and therefore, the wrinkles, age spots, and imperfections really show. A few summers ago I spent a lot of time researching what I could do, at home, to make my skin more appealing and look less aging. I will share a few simple things I learned. If you are looking for glowing skin for Spring and Summer….Read on.
Gearing up for holiday fun is more than choosing the right outfit. Having loads of fun at any social event is more about feeling confident in our presence and demeanor. This is not always easy, and for women, aging can make these fancy events feel even more stressful. We all want to look glamorous when the time calls for it. This is not to say that we shouldn’t feel confident as we age. Quite the contrary. We should always feel good about where we are in life. I, personally, am attempting to age with grace and dignity and my youthful mentality. I do workout to stay healthy and in shape. I do love to wear fancy clothes and makeup to accentuate my qualities and hide the imperfections that I am not thrilled with. I have not, however, undergone the knife so to speak. No plastic surgeries, no injections or fillers. I do love some topical products that help a little with the lines and cellulite here and there. To be honest I do not feel like I am 51 - I still feel 30; and I truly believe we are younger 50 year olds than previous generations. The cliche’ 50 is the new 40. If you are on the lookout for some fantastic products that make you look and feel great, then… Read on for a few of my tested tricks that help me look and feel my best for fancy occasions.
