How to look younger without spending any money

My clients often ask me what procedures are out there to help them look younger and fresh.

That's always an easy answer for me. I tell them that many people don't take advantage of the most inexpensive methods to look and feel younger!

1. EXERCISE vigorously 3 to 4 hours per week. It's guaranteed to lift and firm everything, increase circulation, and give you an overall glow. I know I sound like a commercial but it's the simple truth. After our 20s, gravity has a way of sagging and deflating our face and body.
We really do need to move our body to pump the blood and strengthen our muscles.

Exercise won't plump our face like Juviderm or Restalyn, however, it does increase blood circulation and as a result, it benefits your skin.

2. Drink lots of WATER throughout the day. Not coffee, soda, or tea, but just water. Our lips are like plants. Give it some water, and it instantly plumps up. Try it and see. When your lips are dry, not only does the color go pale, but it accentuates all the cracks and wrinkles. And no matter how much you externally moisturize with lip balm, lipstick or gloss, it will still feel dry.

3. Get a good night SLEEP. Some of us are night owls, but there's nothing better for brighter eyes than solid night rest.

4. Makeup- Less is More!!! Make sure your foundation or press powder isn't too ashy for your complexion. I have a lot of Asian clients that looks ashy or grey. There are millions of foundation shades. Don't buy simply because you are loyal to a Brand. I love MAC and Origins for various makeup products, but they don't have my foundation shade. I had to try 20+ different brands, before I found the right shade. Foundation should really make you glow, not mute or alter your complexion. Best to take a head shot with your camera indoors, with some natural day light to see accurate color. Ask yourself, do I look like I glow, or is there a white, grey or simply fuzzy look to your skin.

Permanent Eyeliner turns blue grey

Before Permanent Makeup Brows and Liner After Permanent Makeup Hairstroke Brows and Eyeliner C ommon question asked by my clients: I had permanent eyeliner done in the past. The original artist used Black pigment. It looked great at first, but as the pigment faded, it turned Blue Grey. Why does this happen and what can I do? As mentioned before, all pigment fades over time. Carbon Black pigment has a lot of the primary Blue color. Therefore, as the other colors in the Black fade, the blue color remains. Touch ups are essential to keeping permanent eyeliner looking fresh and crisp. If you have blue grey liner, ask the artist to add Orange Pigment to the Black Pigment to counter balance the Blue. The Orange pigment will turn the blue into a soft brown, and with the added black pigment, the blue will not be noticeable. For more Before/After Permanent

What is the difference between Micro Blading and Tattoos

What is the difference between Micro Blading and other Permanent Makeup modalities. Microblading is a tool that is popular with the newer generation of permanent makeup artists. The marketing of Microblading has dominated our industry in the past 2 to 3 years. Microblade is a hand held tool where the series of needles are configured tightly to form a "blade" or a "knife". The artist uses the "blade" to cut "hair like" incisions into the skin. The pigment is then smeared into the cuts. The width of the blade is extremely narrow so that the artist can create an illusion of eyebrow hairs. Due to the narrow width of the blade, the artist must minimize the space in between each stroke. If the strokes are placed too far apart, the tattoo may appear sparse when healed. If the strokes are placed too closely, then the pigment from each stroke blend into the next stroke and causes pigment migration or a shaded look. Immediat

Is there an age limit to Permanent Makeup? I have clients who are interested in gifting Permanent Makeup brows, eyeliner and lips for their elderly mothers. Here is a scenario. My mother is 80 years old, her vision and steadiness of her hands are decreasing. She is having difficulty putting on makeup around her eyes and gets easily frustrated. Even worse, she draws skinny harsh lines for brows. Is she too old for Cosmetic Tattoo, Permanent Makeup? BEFORE AFTER No matter how old or young we are, we all want to look presentable.
