Three Anti-Agers Cheaper Than Botox
We have been hearing more questions than ever about Botox. And let’s face it – it’s because it’s hard not to have RBF these days. Between stress, Zoom meetings, and too much free time, our agonizing over forehead lines, crow’s feet, sagging jowls is on the rise. Nothing against visiting your injector, but there are cheaper alternatives and other ways to avoid a lofty investment in medical procedures. Here are our top three!
3. NuFACE FIX
This handy little tool takes away puffy and tired under eyes while chipping away at hard-to-treat crow's feet. Microcurrent stimulates ATP at an amazing rate. ATP (an acronym for a really long science term) is in short what keeps your collagen production high and your skin looking firm. The NuFACE FIX is full of instant gratification as it feels amazing on stressed, tired, allergy-plagued eyes. It is a small, travel-friendly tool even the laziest of people should be able to manage adding in!
2. Double-down on Peptides
If you aren’t familiar with peptides you may be behind the age reversal times. Staying young is all about stimulating collagen, which cannot be triggered with all the Botox in Edina. We all have peptides in our cells throughout our bodies. Synthesized peptides mock our own peptides to increase collagen production even as we age (when it’s naturally on the decline). The other awesome thing about peptides is that you can’t overuse them since they don’t exfoliate or irritate the skin in any way. So, when pandemic life has us all down, at least we can boost our skin up using our favorite (because it works) peptide serum, Rejuv Rx twice a day. It takes consistently but you will see firmer, bouncier skin after a few weeks and decreased lines after a few months. Rejuv Rx should always go on first after toning and any other serums can be layered on top.
1. SPF!
You never see SPF marketed anti-aging with a $200 price tag, but we promise you it is a much better investment than La Mer’s “magic” seaweed goop for many, many reasons. Back to collagen though, the sun is the #1 culprit that breaks down collagen, causes premature crow’s feet, and quite literally ages you. So, stop leaving SPF in the corner and wear it every day – yes all the time. Find one you like, it exists. Period. We are sick of hearing you are never outside – YOU ARE. Ninety percent of sun exposure comes from day-to-day life/errands/driving/dog walking etc. And window UV exposure is a thing. Work from a windowless room? What about lunch/the bathroom/before and after work? Excuses won’t keep you from aging, so form good habits and wear it every day. Your future self will thank you.
