Why waste money on designer bags and shoes, or a beautiful couture gown, if your skin isn't in tip top shape?!

How does smoking harm your skin?

We all know by now that smoking is TERRIBLE for your body and especially for the skin. What does it do exactly?
1) Smoking constricts the blood vessels in your skin causing it to starve itself of oxygen. Your skin lives off of oxygen, and by smoking you are basically killing it. The results are deeper lines, grey color, and overall lax tone.
2)Smoking delays the healing of wounds and increases carbon minoxide. A smoker will not have the same ability as a non smoker to heal and to keep their skin healthy.
3)DRYNESS. People, dry equals wrinkles. No moisture means sags, bags and folds. Sound scary?
4)This is a no-brainer, but smoking causes wrinkles around the eyes and mouth.
5)FREE RADICAL DAMAGE. Yes, free radicals. aka pollution. Would you put a bag on your head and sit in in front of an exhaust pipe? Smoking has the same effect, causing thinning and sagging due to the collage lost.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST..No laser, filler, botox, peel, or surgery can fix the damages from smoking. Quit now to save what is left of your beautiful skin!
P.S. Smoking is also TERRIBLE for your health.

SPICE UP YOUR LIFE

Ginger? I know I love it...what are your feelings on this wonderful root? The real question is, what can it do for you? Hailing from Southeast Asia this medicinal wonder does everything from aid in digestion and nausea, curculation and arthritis. This root is super cleansing, invigorates the body, and increases energy. How to do you use it? The best way is to juice a little in with your carrot and orange juice...no need to peel it, just make sure it is clean. You can also have ginger tea, and ginger in capsule form. Zing! enjoy....
