A Plastic Surgeon's Perspective:
Winterize your skin
DR. MICHELLE YAGODA, NYC FACIAL PLASTIC SURGEON, AND CO-FOUNDER OF BEAUTYSCOOP
The chill is in the air so now is the time to winterize your skin. Here are a few recommendations to keep your skin glowing and vibrant:
First, you can even out your skin tone and get rid of summer sun spots with an Intense Pulsed Light, IPL treatment (see the October Newsletter). Once the brown spots are gone, you can arm yourself against future spots with a daily application of sunblock, every morning! Of course, it is easier to remember to apply sunblock in the Summer, when the sun is shining from 5AM until 9PM, and much more difficult to remember in the Fall or Winter when at 7AM, the sun hasn't yet risen and the day is likely to be a gray one! But remember, the UVA rays cause the same damage in the Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter - whether you are outside hiking, biking or skiing, or indoors behind polarized glass snuggled up with a book by a cozy fire.
After an IPL treatment, skin tone will be more even but it doesn't have to be ghostly. With Elta MD Skincare's new Tinted Physical UVA/UVB Non-Chemical SPF 41 Sunblock, you can protect your skin from future premature aging and get a healthy glow at the same time! It's a no brainer! Get glowing without self-tanners, tanning beds or excessive natural sunlight.
Make no mistake about it! Winter skin is dehydrated and dry skin. With radiators and forced air heat, and the cold dry air outside, it is no wonder that skin is dry, chapped, peeling, scaling, itching and wrinkly! Topical products are necessarily limited by the skin's natural barrier function. With BeautyScoop, you can hydrate your skin naturally, from within. See improved results from topical skin, hair and nail products when you use BeautyScoop because there will be less underlying damage to cover up! Expect to see younger-looking skin with fewer wrinkles; shinier and more manageable hair with less split-ends; and longer, stronger nails. When topical products are combined with ingestible ones, the results are synergistic.
If you are still in search of restoration, after you have reinforced your facial foundation, you can 'Photoshop' your holiday look in 'real time' with a "DR" combo! A dash of Dysport (the new Botox alternative) and a round of Restylane will puff up your pout, soften under eye bags, smooth the scowl, and lift both the jowls and your spirits!
Watch out winter, here we come!

Fitness, Lifestyle & Beauty:
From Ana Caban, Certified Pilates Instructor & Creator,Gaiam Pilates DVDs
1. As a Fitness & Lifestyle Guru, what role you feel Fitness and Lifestyle play in overall beauty? Since fitness and lifestyle are key factors in the overall beauty process, my motto is feel good, look good and do good for others. Beauty radiates from the inside out so it is important to feel good about yourself, so that you can be motivated to take the steps needed to keep yourself beautiful. Those steps include eating well and exercising. The positive energy that is generated can be used to do good, for others. Make someone else feel good. As Maya Angelou said "...people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." True beauty comes from giving, leading a positive and generous life.
2. Which beauty problems, if any, do you notice even in people who eat healthy diets and exercise regularly? Every day, cosmetics, pollution, harsh sunlight and other environmental factors rob the skin of moisture. Loss of skin elasticity and moisture is part of the aging process. While a healthy diet and exercise can help the body stay fit, it can not stop the aging process. Even people who I know who exercise often and eat well seem to have problems with their skin.
3. What two things do you recommend in terms of lifestyle changes that you feel most directly benefit overall beauty? The two things that I would most recommend for overall beauty would be getting enough sleep and drinking plenty of water. There is definitely truth to the phrase "beauty sleep." We live in such a society that is always on the go and I feel that most of us do not sleep enough, for healthy brain function and beauty.
4. What role do you believe ingestible beauty products and nutritional supplements like BeautyScoop play in overall skin health and beauty? I think that ingestible beauty products like BeautyScoop can be a great boost to our overall skin health and beauty.
