Greetings!
Summer is heating up, so we think it's the right time to focus on keeping your skin healthy and beautiful during the summer months.
 What's the one thing you should not forget, no matter where your summer vacation takes you? Sunscreen, of course! We've got Dr. Tang's best tips for choosing effective sun protection, plus two of Alexandra's favorite sunscreens.
If summer has found you worrying about wrinkles (from all that sun) or cellulite (from all those bikinis), you should know that there is a skin rejuvenation treatment that can work for both of those issues -- and many more -- that is also safe for summer use. Venus Freeze is a noninvasive, skin contouring treatment that is gentle enough that (unlike with many laser treatments) you don't have to be panicked about sun exposure. You can find more information below, and we've got special savings on Venus Freeze this month, too!

Summer is the perfect time for many activities... but not for laser treatments. With many skin treatments, it's important to avoid sunlight, which is easier said than done during the sunny summer months! But what if your summer break is the most convenient time for you to work on looking your best?
Here's a skin rejuvenation treatment that may be the answer to your problems: Venus Freeze. Venus Freeze is safe to use year-round, so you don't need to worry if you find yourself invited to a poolside barbecue. Here's a quick hint of what Venus Freeze can do:

Venus Freeze is safe, painless, and non-invasive, so you have no downtime and can get right back to enjoying your summer. The treatments can be used to tighten the skin in your face, neck, and entire body. It can give your face firmer skin, softening of wrinkles, and a more youthful appearance; while body treatments with Venus Freeze reduce the appearance of cellulite and give you a more contoured figure.

 Don't Forget Your Sunscreen!
It's recommended that you wear sunscreen year-round, both for its anti-aging benefits and to prevent skin cancer. In summer though, it's extra important to make sure you're protected. Whether you're swimming or sweating, it's harder to be sure your sunscreen is staying with you, so it's key to reapply throughout the day. Not sure what to look for when you're shopping for sunscreen? Here are a few tips.
First, it's vital that you look for sunscreen that offers broad spectrum protection. That means that it protects against both UVA and UVB rays. SPF only indicates the Sun Protection Factor against UVB rays; UVA protection may not be included. Why do you need both? These are different types of sun rays, and they cause different kinds of skin damage. An easy way to remember it is by the letters: UVA causes aging, while UVB is what makes you burn. Broad spectrum protection is also important because while UVB rays can't get you if you're indoors or behind glass, UVA rays can -- so if you're sitting in traffic without UVA protection, even with your windows up your skin is still vulnerable to sun damage.
Second, take a look at the ingredients. A physical, rather than a chemical, sunscreen provides better protection without any of the concerns about skin irritation some people have with chemical sunscreens. Dr. Tang recommends you look for sunscreen that contains zinc oxide (yes, like the stuff lifeguards wear on their noses!). Zinc oxide is a physical blocker that is safe and natural -- it's also often used to treat diaper rash. The other most common physical sun blocking ingredient you see is titanium dioxide, but this is not as recommended as it is more of a toxin.
Now here are two of Alexandra's picks for the best sunscreens. Rejuv� Sheer Physical Sunscreen SPF 50 offers full spectrum sun protection in a light, sheer formulation that isn't greasy or sticky on skin. It offers protection for outdoor activities, but is comfortable enough to wear all day. Another option Alexandra loves that works well for all-day wear is Sunforgettable Mineral Sunscreen Brush SPF 50 from Colorescience. This non-irritating powder sunscreen comes in three shades, and the self-dispensing brush makes it easy to apply on the go -- you can just toss it in your bag and bring it with you.
Are you worried about the effects of sun damage on your skin? Come in and get a personal consultation from Dr. Tang. Call Rejuv� today at 408-740-5320 for an appointment!

You don't hear as much about magnesium as you do about many other vitamins and minerals, like Calcium or Vitamin D. But magnesium is vital to maintaining healthy blood vessels, nerve and muscle functioning, and maintaining energy levels. Deficient levels of magnesium can lead to dehydration, leg cramps, headaches, constipation, trouble sleeping, and irritability.
Many people don't get enough magnesium in their diets -- and unlike with some vitamins and minerals, like Vitamin C, it's not always obvious what foods contain magnesium. You can find it in whole grains, legumes and seeds, some nuts (including almonds and cashews), brewer's yeast, and blackstrap molasses. Dark, leafy green vegetables are excellent sources of magnesium -- if you're a fan of juicing, add these to your green juice blend to get the benefits of magnesium.
To ensure you're getting enough magnesium -- since dietary absorption isn't always enough -- at Rejuv� we recommend Mag Complete. This supplement is a blend of four kinds of magnesium, and is designed to maximize your body's ability to absorb and utilize the magnesium. Taken once or twice daily with meals, it can help ensure you're getting enough of this important mineral.
