Yesterday I asked one of my personal training clients why she hesitated so long before coming to see me.

She was nervous, was scared it didn’t work, and thought she could do it on her own…

Then she said, “I looked in the mirror and I didn’t recognize the woman looking back at me.”

Are you starting to notice fine lines and discolorations creeping onto your face?

Does that affect your self-confidence?

Worry not!

Right here I’ve got SEVEN great tips to help you look younger!

Now, you should understand how your skin works.  Your epidermis is the part of your skin that you can see.  It protects you from pollution, UV rays, and other funk that can cause damage.

PLUS, your epidermis can rejuvenate itself by shedding any cells damaged by this funk and putting new cells in their place.

When you REJUVENATE your skin, you look younger.  Cool, eh?

(I love the word “rejuvenate.”  You were juvenated, you lost it, and then you’re juvenated again.  Sweet.)

Awesome Tip To Look Younger Number 1: Act Like A Vampire

You know that the sun’s UV rays wreak havok on your skin.  Not only can they cause cancer, they also lead to premature aging.

Minimize your direct sun exposure and if you do go out, wear a sunscreen.

My daily moisturizer (see below) has a 15 SPF, just as a basic precaution.

Awesome Tip To Look Younger Number 2: Curl Up And Close Your Eyes

Ever hear the phrase “beauty sleep”?

Sleep deprivation saps your energy and makes you drag all day.

It also causes circles and bags under your eyes.

So get a comfy pillow, pair it with a dark bedroom and you’ll look younger after a good night’s sleep, I promise.

Awesome Tip To Look Younger Number 3: Work Your Muscles

Science has repeatedly shown that a sedentary lifestyle leads to premature aging.  So move your body!

Exercise also flushes your skin, raises your metabolism, burns fat, and tones your muscles.

(The best exercise around is at my great bootcamp in carson city!  Send me a message and I’ll hook you up!)

Awesome Tip To Look Younger Number 4: Moisturize

A good moisturizer plumps up and hydrates your skin.

Look for one with vitamin A to help reduce wrinkles.

I use one by Aveeno that also helps to clear skin blemishes.

Awesome Tip To Look Younger Number 5: Chug Some Water

My athletes are surprised that I can tell they need water just by looking at their skin.

Dehydrated skin just looks DIFFERENT.

Drinking plenty of water keeps your skin supple and healthy.

Start with ten big glasses of water every day.

Awesome Tip To Look Younger Tip Number 6: Eat Like A Champ

Free radicals cause aging from the inside out.

You can fight free radical with the antioxidants found in fruits and vegetables.

Omega-3 fatty acids also help keep your energy high and your skin young.

Awesome Tip To Look Younger Number 7: Exfoliate Regularly

I’m not good at exfoliating.  I’m too rough with the loofah or anything with with crushed apricot pits.

When you exfoliate, you take off the dead skin cells on the outermost layer of your epidermis and reveal the newer cells underneath.

That’s it!  Seven great tips that will make you look younger almost instantly!

Have fun
