Wow! It's hard to believe Memorial Day has come and gone and the summer season is already here. It's time to pull out the shorts, sundresses and swimsuits- but is your skin ready for it?
Take a look at today's article to learn simple steps that not only will help you get younger looking skin but also will help you protect it from the strong summer sun.
Here's To A Great Summer!
Top Tips for Healthy, Younger Looking Skin
#1 Use The Right Sunscreen
The #1 cause of wrinkles is the sun's ultraviolet rays, so using sunscreen on a daily basis should be your main weapon in the fight against aging skin. But not all sunscreens are good for you. Stay away from chemical sunscreens that contain ingredients oxybenzone (which can stimulate endocrine cells and estrogen receptors in the body) and retinyl palmate(shown to promote cancer mutations in the laboratory setting). Instead, look for sunscreens that contain micronized zinc oxide, which sits on top of the skin, creating a physical barrier to the sun's UVA and UVB rays. This micronized form does not turn white like traditional zinc oxide. Make sure to choose a product with an SPF of at least 30 and use enough of it- at least 2-3 tablespoons for your whole body. You'll not only be protecting your skin from premature aging, but even more importantly, you'll be cutting your risk of melanoma- the deadliest form of skin cancer- in half.
#2 Eat Your Way to Beautiful Skin
Load up on foods containing carotenoids and polyphenols- compounds
 found in fruits and vegetables that give them their vibrant colors and provide us with great benefits for our skin. Carotenoids-found in red and yellow peppers, carrots, squash, spinach, kale and tomatoes-enhance skin tone and fight oxidative stress that leads to skin damage. Polyphenols- found in berries, dark grapes, plums, apples and green vegetables- improve blood flow to the skin and overall skin quality. See the great recipe below to incorporate a number of these foods in one delicious dish!
Include regular amounts of omega-3 fatty acids in your diet to make your skin more supple and radiant. Try including two servings of fish per week. Wild Alaskan Salmon, Arctic Char, Mackerel, Sardines and Anchovies are particularly good sources of omega-3s.
Cut out sugar. Eating lots of sugar can cause damage to collagen and elastin- proteins that keep skin firm and resilient.
Drink water. Staying well hydrated helps plump up skin cells, making skin look smoother and wrinkles less noticeable.
#3 Exercise
Regular work-outs boost skin cell renewal and increase blood flow to the skin, providing it with more of the nutrients it needs and improving its glow.
#4 Sleep
A good night's sleep allows our skin cells time to repair and rebuild themselves. Try sleeping on your back- this prevents sleep lines from forming on your face, which over time can lead to permanent wrinkles.
#5 Wash Your Face Every Night
This may sound like a no-brainer, but many of us have had nights when we are so tired we just want to plop into bed and forget this important step. Every time we do so, we leave excess oil, make-up and dirt on our skin that can clog pores, leading to dull looking skin and break-outs. If you are at home, try washing your face earlier in the evening- after dinner, for example- when you are not too tired. If you know you are going to be out late, try keeping a pack of facial cleansing wipes by your bed for a quick, convenient
clean-up.

Enfuselle Optimal Skin Nutrition, Developed by Shaklee Nutritionists Enfuselle , the revolutionary breakthrough in skin care. Protected by eight patents. Clinically proven and exclusive to Shaklee.Behind the science of skin care While a healthy diet supported by dietary supplements can help keep your skin healthy and younger looking, it takes even more to protect skin from the outside world--it takes the very best "skin" vitamins, minerals, and nutrients, highly effective when incorporated into anti-aging skin care products.Skin care ahead of its time Recognized as pioneers in the development of nutritional supplementation for almost a half-century, Shaklee scientists focused their scientific expertise on investigating the causes of aging. They found that accelerated aging occurs, in part, because of increased exposure to the sun and environmental pollutants, which creates free radicals on the skin. This in turn takes its toll on the skin, the body’s largest organ, by causing effects that you may not even see for a long time. A concept borne out of research a decade ago led to the discovery and development of Vital Repair+® Complex, a patented comprehensive combination of proprietary ingredients that you would expect to find in a dietary supplement. This exclusive complex is the heart of the Enfuselle skin care line and remains your best defense against the chain of damage caused by time and environmental assaults. A revolutionary breakthrough in skin care.Skin infusing nutrition – the name tells the story Enfuselle infuses skin cells to combat aging assaults. The exclusive antioxidant formula,Vital Repair+ Complex, systematically breaks each link in the chain of free radical damage with seven nutrients for the skin, all of which work in synergy, providing greater benefit together than when used separately. It’s a formula so unique that it holds three patents. No other skin care line offers better support. Many others include nutritional ingredients, but Enfuselle comprehensively blocks all the free radical reactions that take place on the skin, reactions that can lead to the premature signs of visible aging. And, because Shaklee takes a new approach to skin nutrition, Enfuselle never includes harsh ingredients that others do to achieve short-term results, but that may not lead to a lifetime of beautiful, healthy skin. With Shaklee and Enfuselle, you feel your best, and look your best now-- and for life.Shaklee is the difference, and we have the proof: Shaklee has invested more than $1 million in research, development, and clinical studies on the products that make up the Enfuselle skin care system. Eight patents have been awarded to the Enfuselle line, so it’s both recognized and safeguarded for its unique and effective formulations. Only a few skin care companies have any patents, and even fewer have as many as eight. Enfuselle products have been proven safe and effective in laboratory and human testing. One test included 2,000 people worldwide.Test subjects were selected due to their skin sensitivities. Test results were so remarkable that they exceeded Shaklee expectations and those of the independent laboratories that conducted the testing.Plus, all Enfuselle formulas are: • Clinically formulated • Botanically-based • pH balanced • Hypoallergenic • Non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores) • Dermatologists tested • Never tested on animals • Contains no animal-derived ingredients • Free of occlusive oils, soap, and dyesIt’s as simple as this: Shaklee:A leader in Nutrition for 50 years.
