There are times in our lives where we feel down and it shows in our face. Too little sleep, a recent breakup, overwhelmed at work, and a whole list of other stressors can compromise our immune system as well as manifest itself by affecting our skin and the way we look.

That seems to be the time when we look in the mirror and see dull, dehydrated skin with extra lines and wrinkles. And we think to ourselves that we need a major pick me up, whether it is getting a facial or a massage, or even Botox and other injectable fillers. In a word, we’re desperate!

However, the good news is we can brighten up and lift our skin right from home with a few magnificent products and in a blink of an eye look ten years younger. Below are three of my all-time favorite instant “get-my-youth-back” anti-aging beauty products.

Anti-Aging Miracle Workers!

From Osmotics, five star rated, Blue Copper 5 Face Lifting Serum provides uncanny and unprecedented results. This potent ageless beauty potion uses Shitake mushroom extracts and other patented technology to dramatically repair and support the structure of the skin. Your skin will be beautifully lifted and the texture will be smoothed and repaired.

Next from ARCONA, you’ll be extremely delighted with the results you’ll see from ARCONA Mandarin Brightening Peel. This powerful ARCONA exfoliator will dramatically brighten the skin and your skin will be smooth and firm. For those with dull and hyper-pigmented skin, you will be ecstatic with this ARCONA product’s dramatic brightening properties.

Lastly, Peter Thomas Roth hits it out of the park with Peter Thomas Roth Laser-Free Resurfacer With Dragon’s Blood Complex. Don’t let the name frighten you because you will be absolutely blown away by your beautiful skin and results. This five-star rated PTR anti-aging product resurfaces, regenerates and renews the skin without using actual laser surgical treatments. Peter Thomas Roth reviews boast such things as, “my skin is like a baby’s,” and “I’ll never be without it!”

In just an instant, you will enjoy your new youthful skin!

The latest “must-have” in beauty products these days is not one of the newest skin treatment serum or cosmeceuticals you may first think of…but in fact, is an exceptional beauty tool. Thanks to physicists, dermatologists and the scientists at Palomar Medical Technologies those of us searching for new efficacious alternatives for lines and wrinkles around our aging eyes the latest greatest must-have in beauty treatments and tools is none other than PaloVia Skin Renewing Laser.

About the Device
PaloVia Skin Renewing Laser is an at-home for use hand-held device is the first FDA cleared laser unit for at-home use. The Skin Renewing Laser emits the same powerful laser technology that cosmetic surgeons and dermatologists use for laser resurfacing in their office and surgery centers. But fortunately for us we get to do our own skin resurfacing in our own homes at a fraction of the price with this highly rated PaloVia device.
 
Studies and trials confirm that by using the PaloVia laser device for 3 to 4 minutes a day reverses the signs of aging around the eyes and lines and wrinkles are remarkably reduced. Crow’s feet are diminished and the skin around the eyes are refined and the eyes appear much younger and dramatically revitalized.

What Are Others Saying?
The PaloVia Skin Renewing Laser was awarded the prestigious 2011 Beauty Breakthrough award and garners rave reviews from  its faithful following with statements such as, “This is the best idea ever!,” and “I never want to be without this again!”

Dramatically diminish unsightly crow’s feet by restoring collagen and elastin health with this deep penetrating laser treatment…and I’ll bet you’ll never go back to Botox again!

Calling all affluent friends and family…Or any of the rest of us who either recently got a juicy tax refund or a brand new credit card just waiting to be used.  Please, please buy the Wellbox- The Lipomassage Machine, and then share the glory and the wealth.  This brilliant multi-tasking body beautifying Wellbox Machine is a dynamic two-fer! The Lipomassage Machine’s primary use will smooth and eliminate cellulite and firm up the skin of the body revealing younger looking skin from head to toe. Its secondary use actually reverses the signs of aging from the face!

The revolutionary Wellbox Roll treatment which is the method and apparatus used on the body, stimulates fibroblasts and fat cells promoting the release of localized fat - Result being…ridding your thighs (and other areas) of unattractive dimpled looking skin and unsightly cellulite.  Most all women (except for the very lucky few who must have incredible genes!) suffer from cellulite even after countless hours in the gym.  What better than an at-home device that works like plastic surgery, without any of the ill side effects of going under the knife?!? And plastic surgery certainly costs a heck of a lot more than this machine!

The secondary use of the Wellbox-The Lipomassage Machine is absolutely brilliant as well. For those of us who could also use a little facelift (without the surgery, of course!), the Wellbox-The Lipomassage Machine uses the Lift Treatment Head to stimulate the deeper level of the skin of the face resulting in an increase in collagen health and production which ultimately leaves the face looking smooth and restructured, younger looking and beautifully radiant.
 
The Wellbox-The Lipomassage Machine takes only minutes to use and will firm the body, smooth out cellulite, reduce facial lines, and brighten up the skin with brilliant luminosity.

And the timing couldn’t be better to get one of these five star rated Wellbox Machines, because I recently noticed SkinStore.com is now offering a $200 off coupon, reducing the cost to around $1300. Check the site for the coupon code…but I believe it is WB200.

Whether you’re wealthy or not…this will be the best thing you’ll ever buy…and I can say with much certainty…I bet you’ll never regret it!

Note: Stay tuned to the blog, because I plan to do another article on this amazing machine in June. I’d like to tell you a little more about it in depth, because I’m so impressed with this terrific machine!

You do not have to be a color psychologist to know that color can make an impact on your mood. It can deepen and strengthen what you are already feeling, or alter your mood significantly. Once you understand how different colors affect you, it is possible to use your clothing to help you feel more positive, confident, relaxed or mindful and sensitive.

Positive
Yellow and orange will give your spirits a lift and move you towards a positive mood. Wearing a daffodil yellow jacket or dress can make you more optimistic, leaving you looking on the bright side of life. Donning an orange T-shirt, or incorporating orange into your outfit in another way, will make you more enthusiastic.

Confident
Wearing red clothing can make you feel sexier, and more dynamic. Red will also help you stand out from the crowd; however, too much red can result in anger. If you already feel worked-up and anxious, but want to experience more confidence, consider wearing a calming color, such as blue, and teaming it with a red accessory.

Relaxed
Blue is a relaxing color. When worn it can help you feel less agitated and more tranquil. You may associate blue with freedom and a release of tension. Different shades of blue throughout the spectrum are useful, and you can combine several in order to gain the most benefit.

Mindful
Green is a grounding color. It is stable, natural and reassuring. Wearing green can help make you feel fresh and safe. Green is also associated with health, and is a good color to wear if you are feeling unwell.

Reassuring
Brown is useful if you want to reassure other people, and convey warm feelings and generosity. Wear green and brown at the same time if you are tackling environmental issues.

Sensitive
Light purple and pale blue can help you feel more sensitive and gentle. Deep purple is more likely to make you feel sad. As children often like purple a lot, you may find it helps you to wear it if you are a teacher, parent or nanny.

You can incorporate color into your wardrobe via accessories, shoes and clothes. Scarves, belts, and even colored hair-clips can be utilized. Thinking about the color choices you make regarding what you wear will help you manage your emotions.

Every woman's body is different, but there are five main body shapes and at least one of these should roughly represent your figure. Not all shapes and styles of clothing look good on everyone, so read on to discover which body type you have and to learn how to highlight your particular assets.

The Apple:
The apple is a fairly round body shape that is usually well-proportioned but with a slightly thicker than average waist that blends with the hips rather than curving inwards. The trick to looking your best is to avoid drawing too much attention to the centre of your body and instead highlighting your other main assets. Some women with apple shaped bodies have elegant legs, while others have a bountiful bust. To flatter your torso, try to wear tops with low necklines that will draw attention to the chest and to opt for long tops that do not stop at the waist. Body control underwear can also help to give you better definition around the waist. Finally, try to avoid thin spaghetti straps, as these tend to cut into the shoulders of apple shaped women.

The Pear:
Pear shaped women have hips and thighs that are wider than their breasts, and usually have fairly flat stomachs. This is thought to be the most common female body shape. To flatter this particular figure, you should pick out clothes that add more shape and curvaceousness to your upper body. For a start, a padded and uplifting bra can work wonders for your bust, giving you a more balanced look. If you wear brightly colored tops and blouses with large collars, this will also draw attention to your bust and help to create more symmetry between your top and bottom halves. You should try to avoid tight-fitting pants or skirts, as these will emphasise your hips and bottom. This means that pencil skirts are out, but you should feel free to wear flared skirts that skim over your lower curves. Strapless tops and dresses also tend to look great on a pear shaped body, as they draw a lot of attention to your bare chest and shoulders.

The Triangle:
Women with triangle shaped figures have a torso that is wider at the top than the bottom. This is usually because of a large bust, or because of particularly broad shoulders. The waist and hips tend to be very slim in comparison. To flatter your figure, try to avoid looking top heavy by using wide or full skirts to make your hips seem wider. You can also detract some attention from your upper half by picking brightly colored pants and skirts to wear on your bottom half. Scoop necklines look great on triangle shaped figures, and they will help to make the shoulders appear narrower. In contrast, try to avoid anything that will make your upper half look even broader. You should never buy anything with shoulder pads or very puffy sleeves, and will probably not suit halter neck tops (which generally make your shoulders appear more masculine).

The Hourglass:
Women with hourglass figures have slim waists that contrast with a fairly large bust and wide hips. This is one of the most traditionally attractive female body types, and one of its blessings is that women with hourglass figures can look very sexy with minimal effort. To flatter your figure, try wearing high-waisted dresses that highlight your narrow middle, or add a belt to a dress to do the same. Flared jeans or pencil skirts also look great on this particular body shape. In contrast, you should probably steer clear of anything shapeless that hides the alluring slimness of your waist.

The Rectangle:
Women with a rectangle shaped body usually have slightly boyish figures, and are enviably slim. If you have this shape, you probably look quite athletic and strong. To flatter and enhance this sort of body type, try to pick out clothes that might help to create the illusion of a more curvaceous shape. For example, you might want to buy halter neck tops that lift your bust and draw attention to it, or dresses that are very tight around the waist but flare out around the hips. You will also look great in outfits that have feminine details like bows or ruffles, and knitted clothes will help to give your figure a softer look. On the other hand, it is best to avoid outfits that are uniformly tight, as these will highlight the straight edges of your body.

Now that you know the name of your body shape, why not research it further? No matter what your body shape, with some time and effort you can find clothes that will highlight your assets and downplay the parts you like less. Each of the above types can be equally beautiful and alluring if presented in the right way, and learning more about your particular body shape will help you become more confident and self-assured.
