My Farewell...

This will most likely be my last blog to all of you and I just want to thank those of you who read it.  If you got anything from my blogs, I hope it was how to care and tend to your skin.  It is your body’s largest organ and should be treated as a temple.

That means be conscious of your environment, what you put in your body, and what you put on it.  Be mindful of the products that you use because they may doing more harm than good.

Please be sure to read your labels and look out for the “dirty dozen” so as to not put harmful ingredients on your skin, since they ultimately end up in your blood stream.

And take time to relax.  Health and wellness is essential to living a happy and successful life.  Whether it be taking a bath or reading a book, find a way to escape and get in touch with your inner self.

This time of year is chaotic, so even if you have to schedule quiet time do it.

With that being said, I hope have you have learned a few things that maybe you didn’t know before and if you ever have questions in the future please ask or you can visit me, Kristyna, at The Woodhouse Day Spa in Montclair, NJ.  Thanks again, lots and luck and love to all of you.

Air Pollutions Effect on your Skin

This week I want to talk about the dirty world we live in and how it’s affecting our bodies.  Pollution is all around us, constantly.  Just because you don’t see it, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.  In fact, the air we breathe has over 180 air pollutants, six of which are extremely hazardous to your health.

The main ones are ozone, nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide, lead, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter.
When these chemicals enter your body they are damaging your respiratory system and depriving you and your organs of oxygen.

Oxygen is needed to keep the body healthy and this includes your skin as well.  These chemicals cause something known as free-radicals to damage your skin cells.

These odd numbered atoms steal oxygen from the skin, causing premature aging.  And let’s be honest, who wants that.

So, what can you do to prevent these scavengers from destroying your beautiful skin?

The answer is antioxidants and lots of them!!

The best ones to use are vitamins A, C, and E.  Use them in your products, eat them in your foods, and make sure to take your vitamins.  This will help cancel out the harmful effects of free-radicals.
