    Identifying Reliable Anti-Aging Options

    July 26, 2018 in Beauty, Reviews, Skincare

    A question I am often asked is when investigating skincare procedures, which anti-aging options are reliable?

    The first thing you must understand about the reliability of anti-aging treatments is that none of them are magic spells. They cannot prevent your skin from aging. However, some of them are capable of correcting minor forms of skin damage. There are also treatments that can help you delay the onset of more severe skin conditions that can come with age.

    Clinical Skin Treatments to Make Your Skin Healthier
    There are many clinical skin treatments that can make your skin healthier. Among them are laser treatments. When researching cosmetic lasers treatment options, you must understand laser machines vary greatly. Some treat surface skin concerns, such as scars. Others are meant to help you improve the health of your skin across the board by encouraging it to heal itself slowly over time. Such treatments can do that by causing collagen production to speed up and drawing existing collagen closer together to tighten the skin.

    Non-laser clinical skin treatments also exist. For example, you may opt to have some form of sound wave therapy. You can also try fillers or Botox injections to temporarily reduce wrinkles. Microdermabrasion and chemical peels to resurface your skin and remove blemishes are available as well. But often minor signs of aging can be prevented or treated by simply applying certain products to your skin.

    Protecting Your Skin from Sun Damage
    One essential product you should always apply to your skin is sunscreen. The dangerous rays of the sun can get to your skin, even on the cloudiest of days. Over time, those rays can cause blemishes and sunspots. They can also increase your chances of developing skin cancer. The sunscreen you choose should have an SPF rating of at least 30. Apply it each time you intend to be outside. If your skin is light colored, you will need a higher SPF rating.

    Fortifying Your Skin Cells with Other Healthy Products
    There are many other products found in skin creams and lotions that can help you prevent skin damage. They can also help your skin heal and prevent future damage after clinical procedures, such as laser treatment. For example, vitamin A, also known as Retin-A or Retinol, is a product that can help to strengthen your skin cells and make the cellular turnover process more efficient. That is the process by which dead skin cells are shed and new skin cells take their places.

    Peptides and antioxidants are also essential for skin health. Peptides are amino acids that can slow muscle contractions that cause minor wrinkles. They can also promote cellular healing. They can be particularly beneficial for preventing crow’s feet and fine lines on your face. Antioxidants, meanwhile, can fortify your cells, defending them against intruders like chemicals and free radical. Antioxidants can be found in many skin creams, as well as certain foods. Fresh fruits and vegetables have particularly high antioxidant levels.

    Combining the Best Skincare Options for More Reliable Results
    All of the methods above can be reliable ways to protect or treat your skin. However, combining some of them can often give you even more reliable positive results. For example, using skin cream rich in vitamin A after a clinical skin treatment can strengthen your skin. Just remember to follow all instructions given by your clinician to avoid the premature use of such products after clinical procedures.

      Although I don’t think any treatment improves skin quality, these are tons of options if you just want to look healthier. And to be honest, if it looks better, then its got to be worth doing.

    It was such a relief to not only finally be back i It was such a relief to not only finally be back in Cape Town, well above it. But also being able to look down & see the beauty of probably the best road to drive in South Africa- Clarence Drive. 

We’d been stuck in #Durban after the airline overbooked flights for 3 days ahead. We even had to “sleep” overnight, I couldn’t sleep, at the airport. We were stuck there for over 19 hours. As there were “so many” potential chances for Standby flights….

    I've posted about us introducing Candi & Rocco to I've posted about us introducing Candi & Rocco to the new #BossMightyChunks range from @bossdogfood over the past month. This particular post is about health. 

About just how important your animal's health is as your own.
These furry little souls keep me going. They kept my spirits up throughout the medical challenges I faced last year. Seeing them was bliss.

The first two are from last week when I re-purchased their new favourite tasty meals. They actually recognised the cans! Queen Candi wanted to make sure "her" food was protected. You can see poor Rocco pleading. It wasn't even supper time yet. 
Our dogs mean so much to us. They are our children. They are on a par with a human toddler in terms of neediness. We admittedly do spoil them a bit too much. However, their well-being is something we have always made sure as all dog parents is a priority. 

They never miss their annual health checkups with any potential issues treated immediately. You may know that last year was a challenging time for me health-wise. It was such a difficult period for my partner & beloved fur-babies. 

Some of the more serious ones included being diagnosed with a second rare chronic illness, 3rd person in South Africa. Also cardiac issues & complications (another rare disease) and then a mini-stroke & more. On top of that, just two days after my final life-saving surgery. 

Richard and the dogs came close to losing their lives when our entire house burnt down. It was a huge turning point for us. We focused more on taking better care of ourselves, valuing every aspect of our lives and are beyond grateful that both dogs managed to make it out. 

I jumped at the opportunity when Boss reached out to me to try their new Mighty Chunks range. That is the dogs trying the range! Not me🤣. I will admit that for someone who doesn't eat meat, the rosemary scent is rather pleasant! 

Seeing how adding some healthy wet food like Boss Mighty Chunks that is nutrient-filled to their diet made an actual difference to their health. Agility and digestive, respectively, have again made us reevaluate the importance of health and well-being. For all of us!

    Rocco & Candi have both become “Dancing Dogs” Rocco & Candi have both become “Dancing Dogs” since including @bossdogfood 
Boss Mighty Chunks into their diet. I thought the thicker gravy for extra taste as a topper is the best and meatier chunks might be a bit much for Candi but she gobbles them down with delight. It’s also helped give her more energy and fewer digestive issues it seems. As an Irish Setter, Rocco is more prone to joint and flexibility issues so seeing him extra agile since including these has been a noticeable health benefit too. 

They are obviously always excited for meal time but not usually this enthusiastic!

Oh, and to purchase or for any information about the new formulation’s extra protection & health benefits then visit the link in my bio.

    The past few weeks have been stressful - an escape The past few weeks have been stressful - an escape is needed! I love Autumn but I’m craving sunny beaches and tranquility and would love it if my next holiday is somewhere exclusive. 

While daydreaming and scrolling, I spotted the incredible @clubmed La Plantation d'Albion! It offers so much! Evening activities, scuba-diving (which I haven't done and want to), a beach bar, secluded coves, a luxurious Cinq Monde Spa and adult-only Zen Zones. Oh did I mention ALL-INCLUSIVE gourmet food, an open bar plus Champagne all day! It’s relaxation heaven! 

Being all-inclusive it’s also budget-friendly which will make it easier to convince Richard to book it for us! 

So, when you make a booking (Link in Bio) tag me in your snaps to make me extra jealous!

    How does the saying go again? In the entertainment How does the saying go again? In the entertainment industry, never work with children or animals?

Well, I've discovered this was especially true tonight. I was just trying to get some snaps of Rocco & Candi testing out some of the new Boss Mighty Chunks. They are available in 3 flavours- Chicken Casserole, Grilled Steak & Lamb Stew. I've honestly never seen them this excited over a specific food before, and they already go crazy for food. 

Candi was incredibly naughty. She's usually so well-behaved. She had the audacity to climb onto the table and stuck her face into the Grilled Steak can! Just as I was setting up my camera.

As a pescatarian, dog food in general typically doesn't have the most appetising smell to me. So I was surprised that all of the Boss Mighty Chunks has a pleasant & extremely unique aromatic rosemary scent. Something both Furbabies seem to love as you can clearly see from all of the fantastic blurry tongues out & mouth-watering impatient background photos of them.
