Hey there, age-defying aficionados! If you're ready to embark on a journey that'll have your partner convinced you're secretly a time traveler, you've come to the right place. Get ready to discover 20 skincare tips that'll have them wondering if you've discovered the fountain of youth or maybe a really good new routine. 😉
**1. The Magic Elixir: Hydration, Hydration, Hydration. Did We Mention Hydration?**
Moisturize like you're competing in the Olympics – gold medal, here you come! Our skin's barrier is comprised of water and oil. We need a lot of water in the barrier to maintain youthful, radiant skin and oil to protect us from the water evaporating. Fun fact: facials help create water in the skin, and drinking the daily recommended dosage.
**2. Sunscreen: Your Invisible Shield Against Wrinkles and Time Traveling**
If you're not wearing sunscreen, you're basically time-traveling... to the future with wrinkles! Most of us know sunscreen protects us from the sun's harmful rays, but did you know Daisy's Skin Transformation's exclusive sunscreen does more than that? The cruelty-free and reef-safe sunscreen is rich in antioxidants C and E, protecting us from the free radicals in Jacksonville's air. Free radicals age us just like the sun's rays, so protecting ourselves with a photostable sunscreen that acts as a makeup primer is paramount. Bonus: It's tinted, so there is no need to wear foundation if you don't want to.
**3. Dance Like No One's Watching... Especially the Crow's Feet**
Laughter is great, but laughing while squinting? Not so much. Embrace those sunglasses and sunscreen! Squinting causes grooves in the skin, which eventually leads to wrinkles. Crow's feet can be reversed, but prevention is always optimal. Wear a hat or sunglasses to prevent wrinkles around your eyes, especially in this Jacksonville sun.
**4. Sheet Masks: A Surefire Way to Look Like a Friendly Ghost While Hydrating**
Bonus points if you wear a sheet mask while explaining time travel theories. Sheet masks contain hydrating ingredients that help improve the water levels in the skin. The more water we can bring closer to the surface, the fewer wrinkles we see. Give yourself a relaxing facial with a hydrating sheet mask.
**5. Sleep Like a Baby – Without the Drool Stains**
Beauty sleep is real – unless you're drooling. Invest in silk pillowcases, stat! Cotton absorbs our facial water and oil. Our body produces these two ingredients to keep us looking young, so we need to keep them on our skin during the healing hours of sleep. Silk doesn't absorb like cotton does.
**6. The Art of Facial Massage: Because Your Face Deserves a Spa Day Too**
Imagine explaining to your partner that you're not aging; you just give yourself a facial massage daily. Gravity pulls our skin downward, so a daily lifting massage will fight against gravity. Massage also increases blood flow, bringing in fresh oxygen and nutrients for ultimate healing and prevention of damage. Be sure to use a face oil to prevent friction while massaging.
**7. Red Wine for Antioxidants... And Also Because You Deserve It**
"Age" like a fine wine, not like leftover pizza. Red Wine contains Resveratrol, which is a fantastic antioxidant and oil regulator. Resveratrol has many health benefits and can be found in grapes and berries as well. Next time you consume a glass of red wine, picture the facial benefits. As always, drink responsibly.
**8. DIY Face Masks: Because Mashed Avocado is the New Botox**
You might look like a guacamole enthusiast, but your skin will thank you. The reality is skincare is derived from some ingredients we find in the kitchen. Egg whites are great for skin tightening and removing wrinkles, and turmeric helps brighten dark spots. If you ever need a quick pick-me-up, see what you can find for a DIY facial in your home. *Disclaimer - Always follow the FDA act for safety and check for allergies.
**9. Get Your Beauty Sleep, But Don't Get Too Comfy**
Anti-wrinkle silicone patches: making bedtime an anti-aging strategy since... well, now. Silicone patches help keep the skin smooth while in our most comfortable dead-weight state. These patches are commonly worn on the chest, neck, forehead, and under the eyes. The patches are a great way to maintain your facial results for the best outcome.
**10. Exfoliation: Scrub Away Dead Skin, Not Memories**
Unearth a smoother complexion and uncover the time-traveling secret you've been hiding! Dead skin absorbs light, making us have a dull complexion and appear older. Exfoliating removes the dead skin, unleashing beautiful, radiant, glowing skin. Take advantage of Jacksonville's beaches and surrounding areas. That's right, taking a dip in the sea is actually good for your skin. One of the most common benefits of salt water on skin is exfoliation. A swim in the ocean allows the salt to scrub away dead skin cells and open the pores. There aren't many all-over natural ways of exfoliating, so lap it up and give your entire body an exfoliating facial. Just be sure you are wearing Daisy's Skin Transformation's waterproof sunscreen!
**11. Invest in a Good Eye Cream – For When Time Decides to Park Itself Under Your Eyes**
Your partner: "Are you a time traveler?" You: "No, just an eye cream enthusiast!" The eyes are one of the first areas we see lines around on our faces. Good eye cream has all the ingredients to repair and protect against wrinkles, puffiness, and dark circles. After exfoliating the dead skin in this area, it's a great time to add the eye cream so the product can penetrate deeper. Facials help hydrate and thicken the eye area to prevent crow's feet and fine lines.
**12. The No-Makeup Makeup Look: Because Natural Beats Time Travel Any Day**
Imagine explaining to your partner that your "no-makeup" look takes 20 minutes. Makeup glides over hydrated, smooth skin—no more cake face. Facials help remove dead skin that clings to makeup, preventing quicker blending. Healthy skin looks better and needs fewer products to fake the healthy look. Now, if only we can master the winged eye.
**13. Stress Less, Age Less: Yoga and Meditation for the Win**
Flexibility is the key to time-traveling... or at least looking like you can. With monthly facials and meditation or yoga, the stress and worried look disappear right before you. Say goodbye to those wrinkles and fine lines. A relaxing spa experience is an ideal destination for quiet time.
**14. Laughter is the Best Medicine... for Time Traveling**
The laughter lines are your souvenir from hopping through time! With a microneedling facial at Daisy's spa, we can diminish those deep Marionette lines, often called laughter lines. There are multiple modalities at the spa that can tackle even the most challenging laugh lines. As always, patience and consistency are vital in treating the deep lines.
**15. Water: Your Budget-Friendly Fountain of Youth**
Stay hydrated, and let your partner wonder if you've been sipping from the fountain of youth. Water keeps the skin looking plump and hydrated. The more water under the skin, the less visible fine lines and wrinkles are. A hydrating facial at the spa can draw water levels towards the skin's surface, filling in those fine lines. The results are noticeable immediately and will leave you looking the age you feel.
**16. Embrace the Power of Retinol: The Secret Weapon Against Time**
Retinol – for when your partner questions how you manage to age backward. Retinol increases skin cell production. It helps unclog pores. Retinol also exfoliates your skin and increases collagen production, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles giving your skin a fresher, plump appearance. At Daisy's Spa, we offer a form of retinol to purchase and include retinol in every facial.
**17. Stay Active: Because Sweating Out Toxins is Easier than Time Traveling**
Gym selfie caption: "Sweating out yesterday's wrinkles. #AgingBackwards" Toxins build up in our cellular matrix, pores, and skin. Sweat is one way to push those toxins to the surface. A deep cleanse facial at the spa helps further remove toxins built up in our pores.
**18. Go Natural with Oils: Just Like Ancient Time Travelers Did**
SeaBuck Thorn Oil? You might as well be a time-traveling pioneer. Our skin recognizes SeaBuck Thorn Oil as oil produced from our glands. SeaBuck Thorn Oil is a finishing product in all of the Spa's Facials. The oil helps lock in the hydration.
**19. Spa Nights: Because a Date with Yourself is Time Well Spent**
Imagine explaining to your partner that you're not aging; you're just having a "me" night. Our spa offers evening facial scheduling to allow for a pampering and relaxing experience to help you forget about your stressful day.
**20. Minimal Makeup, Maximum Confidence: Because Time Travelers Don't Need Heavy Foundation**
Your partner: "Are you Benjamin Button?" You: "No, just a makeup minimalist." Makeup can get caught in our pores, stretching them and making the pores appear enlarged. Makeup absorbs the water and oil in our skin that we need to maintain a youthful appearance. Receiving a facial at our spa helps clear out the pores and addresses skin concerns requiring less everyday makeup.
And there you have it, time-traveling wizards of skincare! With these 20 tips, your partner will be left scratching their head, wondering if you've stumbled upon the secrets of the space-time continuum or have a great skincare routine.
Are You Prepared for a Treatment You Might Not Be Ready For?
Deemed the "Game of Thrones Facial"
A mask like no other mask you've ever experienced. This one-of-a-kind enzyme therapy mask hardens on the skin like concrete. The mask acts like a blood pressure pump, getting tighter and tighter, drawing the blood to the surface. The tightening brings fresh water, oxygen, and nutrients to the skin. It sits for a full 45 minutes while it works to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, increase collagen, repair elastin, reduce neck lines, improve brown spots, and reduce texture. During the cleansing process, the tightness is released, just like the blood pressure pump, causing reverse osmosis and cleaning out the cellular matrix. The now-clean area can work hard to repair all of the damaged skin.
