Caring for Your Skin after 40

There is always this big fuss over turning 40 (or is it 50?). You are "over the hill" and "middle-aged" and any number of other not-so-flattering descriptors. While we absolutely believe that age is very much a mindset, we do recognize that our bodies do change with the flipping of calendar pages. That being said, we want to care for our skin in the best way possible and what worked for you at 20 probably will not anymore once you reach 45. Here are some tips and tricks that will keep you fooling people as to what your real age is.

  1. DRINK WATER
    We put this one in all caps because we know this one is very much common knowledge, but do you know how often you actually get the amount of water you really need? A survey said that only about 30% of the daily intake of water is actually from drinking water. The rest comes from juices and sodas, and those will contribute to weight gain. Cut those drinks out (coffee and tea are ok), and up that water intake!
  2. Exercise
    This is another common sense move, but let us explain. Exercise is great for so many things. The movement keeps your body limber, keeps weight down, and (this is the important one for this blog) keeps your stress levels down. When your stress is under control, you aren't frowning which could lead to unwanted facial lines, and your cortisol levels are down which allows your body to focus on proper care of itself because it's not stuck in "fight or flight" mode. If you've ever seen a before and after picture of a president, you can see how stress really does age you! So take care of yourself and exercise!
  3. Skin Care Routine
    Your daily skin care routine is very important. Leaving dirt and makeup on your face will cause your pores to get filled and breakouts aren't just relegated to the young. So find a skin care regimen you love and Stick. With. It. It doesn't have to be expensive. The biggest thing with any of these tips so far is to be diligent. That is where you will see the benefits. Long-term investment yields long-term rewards.
  4. Professional Aesthetic Care
    You can take the best care of your skin and still have some lingering issues that can be dealt with by an aesthetic doctor. Don't be afraid to get a little Botox for those pesky lines, and even get some dermal filler for those deeper crevices. You can find reasonable prices for these small treatments, or invest more in something like microneedling or laser treatments for discoloration.

What really matters is that no matter what your age is, you feel good in your skin. When you want to look at aesthetic treatments and you live in the area around Mansfield, Ontario, or Bucyrus, Ohio, consider Fairlawn Aesthetic MD. They offer an experienced, friendly team in a relaxing office space. They also have convenient scheduling and the option of financing for your aesthetic treatment.

Cryo T-Shock Benefits

CryoT-Shock has a lot of questions surrounding it. Cryo-T shock is a revolutionary fat loss treatment. We hear clients asking the same few things a lot, "How does it work? Is it safe? How long do the results last? Is it painful?" Dr. Matt McDaniel and the team at Fairlawn Aesthetics performs the fat loss treatment in the Akron Canton area and want to make sure you have all the answers about your Cryo T-Shock fat loss treatment. Cryo T-Shock uses a cooling and heating system to contour your body. Your treatment will begin with a few minutes of heat before switching to a prolonged cooling period, and then finishes with a few more minutes of heat. The cool temperatures cause fat cells to go through something called apoptosis. Apoptosis is caused when fat tissue reaches an internal temperature range between 53 and 62 degrees Fahrenheit. Once the temperature has reached this low, the fat cells begin to die and are then naturally passed out of the body. While res...

The Truth About Botox

Is Botox really bad for you? You've heard all the negative talk about Botox: "Botox is toxic for your skin." "It's so unnatural." "Don't screw up your face." "You don't need that filler." But, have you heard the truth in all the noise? There are many misconceptions about Botox treatment, and it often gets a bad rep because it is regarded as unsafe, unnatural, and unnecessary. Keep reading on as we expose each of these three myths. #1: Botox is Unsafe The idea that Botox is unsafe is centered around its main ingredient: botulinum. In high percentages, botulinum is considered a toxin and can be deadly. In controlled dosages, it can safely and effectively produce the muscle paralysis effects that Botox is known for. However, if you are considering Botox injections, it is very important to visit an experienced professional so that the dosage is spread evenly and is injected into the correct muscle. #2: Botox is Unnatural...
