Celebrity Dress Styles - Ali Landry

Want flawless celeb skin?

2011-12-30T05:31:00.000-08:00

I was recently invited to a "Sparty" at the Four Seasons Westlake Village during the first ever Four Seasons Global Spa Week for beauty insiders to experience a star treatment from their uber-luxe menu. Spa service du jour: Dr. Ronald Moy’s famous DNA Growth Factor Facial — exclusive to the Westlake Village resort (the largest of all the Four Seasons spas worldwide). I heard that celebs like Cindy Crawford, Ali Landry and Jennifer Lopez were recently flocking to this Los Angeles spa, so I was excited to get my red carpet treatment on.

Just 45 minutes outside of Beverly Hills, this impressive property is nestled between mountains, tall trees and the sound of… nothing. I’ve never heard such loud silence — we’re still in LA, right? It was magical. I was ready to relax.

Before entering the spa, I was blown away by the gorgeousness of the hotel… beautiful floral displays in the lobby, sparkly decor and the friendliest staff ever, but not in the annoying way where everyone you pass says hello five times. (It was more like a knowing, subtle smile that says, "Yes, Sadie, you’re in paradise and we know it. Welcome.") I wasn’t even to the spa yet and I already felt like skipping.

After sashaying into heaven’s gates, I was ushered into the changing rooms, slipped on my plush, white robe and headed out to the waiting area overlooking the pool. I snagged a cup of hot, detox tea (don’t mind if I do) and breathed in the faint smell of eucalyptus from the steam rooms. Am I a celebrity right now, or what? I was lost in the moment and for a split second, I was Reese Witherspoon just enjoying a normal day at this lavish Four Seasons spa. I woke up from my daydream, "Hi Sadie!" I was greeted by the resort’s "Curator of Calm" Damien Craft (he’s the Spa Director, but don’t you love his fancy title?) and Allison Rhodes (the hotel’s PR/Social Media whiz). They gave me a tour of the jaw-droppingly stunning spa. Passing through three tranquility lounges covered in floor to ceiling orchids and walking over the Asian-inspired, red bridge covering the indoor pond, I was feeling very Zen as they led me to one of their private spa suites.

Um, now we’re talking. If you can book one of the exclusive suites at this spa, you need to (out of control). Complete with a flat screen, fireplace, bed, shower, extra-large tub and wet bar, I was just about ready to move in (I wondered what the rent would be like). I had a quick salad and glass of bubbly outside on the patio (next to my private whirlpool Jacuzzi… that’s right, pretty big time) and was met by the lovely aesthetician Bette who would be giving me this DNA Facial I had heard so much about.
DNA Growth Factor Facial

Created by Beverly Hills dermatologist Dr. Ronald Moy, the DNA Growth Factor Facial is apparently the future of skin care. The lovely Bette explained to me that the treatment targets the skin’s own DNA, transforming aging and photo-damaged skin to a younger, healthier version (yes, please!).

After cleansing and exfoliating my skin, Bette put an amino acid glycolic peel on my face and décolleté. There’s a definite tingle to this peel, so you know it’s working. She even put a little on my hands to get rid of sunspots. After about five minutes, the peel gently removed dull surface cells and prepared my skin for an infusion of Dr. Moy’s DNAEGF Renewal treatment. This formula contains a growth factor from Iceland combined with DNA repair enzymes that really make the skin perfectly dewy. After a shoulder, neck and hand massage, my treatment had come to an end (I pretended to fall asleep so I could stay a little longer, don’t tell). It was everything it was cracked up to be and more. No wonder so many celebrities escape to this incredible spa.

As for my skin? I got compliments for the next week and when asked how my face was so glowy, I told them it was just in my DNA.

To book your own celeb-style treatment, go to the Four Seasons' website. Ask for the Curator of Calm and tell him I sent you. Follow the Four Seasons Westlake Village on Twitter @FSWestlake.

Can’t make the trip to the spa just yet? Don’t worry! Dr. Moy’s entire DNA Skin care line is available for purchase.

Global Anti-Aging Secrets Revealed

2008-02-15T00:09:00.000-08:00

By: Sharon Bell

The older a person gets, the more his or her age shows. We can’t do anything about the natural aging process. However, there are things we can do to keep looking at our very best; to look as young as we can for as long as we can. So let’s find out how women of the world fight aging.

In Brazil, it’s common to see women reclining on the beach and rubbing handfuls of sand on their bodies. Why? It supposedly helps with cellulite and smoothens and stimulates the skin.

Camellia oil is said to be the Japanese geisha’s secret to smooth and flawless skin. White camellia nut oil used for centuries in Asia, contributes its moisturizing, conditioning, nourishing, and softening benefits to the skin. Camellia oil gives the skin a texture and glow unmatched by any other skin care product.

This special formulation helps eliminate wrinkles after giving birth, revitalizes hair growth, and treats burns. It helps restructure the skin and strengthen nails. It is one of the most rapidly absorbed oils, making it an excellent choice as a facial oil.

China’s anti-aging secret is white tea. White tea comes from the silver tip of the green tea plant. It’s also known as the emperor’s tea. It houses all the antioxidants in the tip. It acts as an environmental shield that free radicals can’t penetrate through. They supposedly bounce off free radicals and fend off aging.

For Scandinavians, they simply drink at least 1.5 liters of pure spring water every day and splash the face 15-20 times twice a day with ice cold spring mineral water which will encourage the skin's own natural functions. It regulates itself without the aid of expensive exfoliating and rejuvenating lotions. The ice cold water helps to reduce puffiness as well.

A more youthful, glowing complexion truly is within our grasp. All it takes is the desire for more healthy skin, proper skin care techniques, responsible life-style choices, and a few minutes each day.

A great anti-aging moisturizer, when applied properly, will provide continuous hydration - essential for mature skin - and protection from further free radical damage. Choose the best anti-aging moisturizer you can afford. Make sure it has high levels of proven effective ingredients to reverse the aging process and reduce wrinkles.

Top 7 Tips To Prevent Alzheimer’s Disease

2008-01-04T05:23:00.000-08:00

By: Raymond Geok Seng Lee

Despite the absence of a cure for Alzheimer’s, there are some proven ways to help your brain stay young and lessen your chances of developing this disease.

1.Ongoing mental and physical exercise

Exercise keeps the brain healthy. Either use it or lose it. Regular physical activity increases the blood flow to the brain and provides the nutrients necessary to render its tissues resistant to Alzheimer’s. Exercise also increases the number of connections among the millions of brain cells needed for normal mental function. Get into the habit of walking for thirty or sixty minutes a day as briskly as possible. Stair climbing is particularly effective, so take the steps when going up or down one or two flights and leave the elevators and escalators to the kids.

2.Education

Several population studies have shown that the more schooling you have, the greater are your chances against Alzheimer’s. That may be because the educated are more likely to eat more nutritiously and receive better medical care throughout their lives. However, like physical exercise, ongoing intellectual challenges stimulate the formation of nerve connections. Even if you are destined to develop Alzheimer’s, the more neutrons you develop when you are young, the more you can afford to lose before symptoms set in.

Many retired seniors sign up for classes in accounting, law, art, music, economics, or whatever else interests them to stay mentally active, and not necessarily to start a second career. The longer you continue your education at any age, or keep your mind busy in some other way, the more likely your neurons are to connect with each other later on.

3.Reaction to stress

Stress is blamed for almost everything that goes wrong in life. Although stress is a convenient scapegoat, it probably does play a role in the development of Alzheimer’s. The body reacts to stress by producing extra amounts of cortisol, a hormone that shrinks the hippocampus, the area in the brain that controls the memory and interferes with its normal function. The calmer and more self confident you are in a crisis, whether it is short-lived or prolonged, the less cortisol is produced.

4.Diet

Eat as little animal fat as possible to reduce your vulnerability to Alzheimer’s. The incidence of Alzheimer’s in different countries correlates with the consumption of total fat. Fro example, in the United States, 5 percent of all persons over the age of sixty-five have the disease, while in China and Nigeria, where the fat intake is much lower, the incidence is only 1 percent. Japanese who move to America and double the amount of fat in their diet have twice the incidence of Alzheimer’s than do those who do not emigrate and presumably maintain their old eating habits.

5.Nicotine

Nicotine is a prime example of how new research data can supersede and negate previously acquired information. We used to believe that smokers were less likely than non-smokers to develop Alzheimer’s. But the anti-tobacco community is now breathing easier because more recent studies indicate that smoking doubles the risk of getting Alzheimer’s.

6.Vitamin E

Hardly a day does by without some favorable report about vitamin E. I can’t think of any downside of this vitamin, with the possible exception of its raising blood pressure and causing some extra beats in some people. Vitamin E increases fertility in rats; it’s good for the heart; and many doctors prescribe it for the treatment of vascular disease, particularly for narrowing the arteries in the legs. Now comes word that vitamin E may also delay the onset of Alzheimer’s, presumably by virtue of its antioxidant properties. Antioxidants, of which there are many, are said to neutralize the harmful effects of free radicals, the byproducts of bodily process that involve oxygen. These radicals carry an extra electron that can damage the protein in the brain and other organs and accelerate the aging process. The body’s own antioxidant normally neutralizes these free radicals, but this defense can be enhanced by supplemental vitamin E.

7.Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)

Millions of us use these drugs for relief of everything from headache to arthritis. In recent years, researchers noted a 50 percent lower incidence of Alzhemier’s in persons with rheumatoid arthritis who had been using these drugs for any length of time. Alzheimer patients who take aspirin or other NSAIDs have better verbal and mental functioning scores too, and the rate of their overall deterioration is measurably slower.

Eye Cleansing And Moisturizing : The Best Method Of Eye Treatment.

2007-12-14T05:43:00.000-08:00

By: Betty Tylor

I am pretty sure that there will be no one argues that the eye is one of the most important parts of human body. Even though we still alive if we are lose both of them but it would be really difficult life. Eyes are not the organ that make human to be able to see, but also they can be used for other purpose such as express our feelings, to eyelid are protecting dust or other material to harm your eyes etc. Therefore, it is become the fact that we have to protect and maintain condition of the eyes very seriously.

In general, for many people could have the perception that if there is no serious condition or accident happened to the eye, you do not have to do anything with them, and you can live normally without problem. For the perception line this, I have to admit that should be a little bit wrong. No matter there is accident or not, your eyes have to be maintained and we have to make sure that the entire of visual system is working properly.

Particularly for someone who really need eye extra care such as the person who has done eye Lasik surgery, which doctor will normally suggest that during the stage of recovery (after the operation) patient should not use eye extensively and avoid to be in the area that has a lot of dust or do not stay in the area that has strong sunlight. However, this is just the recommendation from doctor to the patient, but for us, as an person who do not require any extra treatment, there are also some guideline that you have to take care of the eyes to make sure that they are always healthy.

Particularly for the ladies who have to work with cosmetics all day long, which this group have greater risk and they have to clean the eye and other facial area everyday. Therefore, the part of facial area that they have to pay little extra attention is eyelids. It is basically involve the process of cleaning and applying moisturizer on to the eyelids, which will make your eyelids always fresh and you will also feel comfortable. So the important aspect that you have to focus on is to find the cleansing and moisturizing cream. The eye-cleansing cream is very important. This is because of you choose very poor quality of those, the cosmetics that you have used during the day will not be 100% removed and when those cosmetics start to accumulate on your skin, it may cause other disease, or cancer sometimes in worst case.

However, as we have to admit that medical technology today can produce many kind of treatment that has mixture of eye cleansing and moisturizing in the same product. You will be comfortable to choose this kind of product without worry to look for each type separately. There are also natural eye treatment methods, which will use only natural material to produce cleansing cream. If you are the women who have to work in extensively use of cosmetics, you must now think about using this kind of products.

Want To Look Younger And More Attractive? Here's How!

2007-11-04T05:47:00.000-08:00

By: Janet Martin

The skin around your eyes is among the first areas of your body that become weak and susceptible to breakdown of tissues. But it is ironic that most people are more focused on having smoother skin on their cheeks, forehead and chin. If you really want a more attractive appearance on top of a healthier younger-looking skin, you need to put some tender loving care on your eye area; here are a few important pointers.

Aim For Quality Sleep Every Night

If you really want to have beautiful eyes and skin, then you need to ensure at least eight hours of deep sleep every night. If you are anxious about certain issues at work or at home, you can always pop a non-addictive sleeping pill to get yourself into sleeping mode. Or if you want, you can permeate your bedroom with essential oils that can help you sleep.

A good quality sleep allows your body to relax and focus on repairing damaged tissues. As a result, your skin will be radiant and feeling soft in the morning. Sleep is indeed the best beauty regimen and nothing can be more basic than that.

Moisturize Your Eyes Before You Sleep

The skin that surrounds your eyes is very thin and delicate. Because of this, you need to give it more nourishment. By applying moisturizer every night, you increase its resistance to dirt, toxins and even aging. Choose moisturizers that are made for the eyes.

Take Off Your Makeup Every Night

Makeup is a necessity for many of today's busy career women. But it should not be an excuse for allowing makeup to ruin the skin on your face, particularly in the eye area. This is why, every night, you need to religiously take off your makeup.

The usual makeup product that you apply on your eyes is mascara. To take it off, you need a good facial wash and makeup remover. Never try to remove mascara by violently rubbing your eyes; otherwise, you will wake up in the morning without your natural eye lashes.

Say No To Alcohol

Remember all those drinking sprees when you were in college? If you do, you will also remember that those escapades brought you nothing but dark under eye circles. So now that you are trying to attain or maintain a spot-free skin around your eyes, it is always best to say no to alcohol.

If you can not resist whiskey and beer, at least try to restrict the number of bottles or shots you take. If this is such a punishment for you, then do it for beauty's sake.

Keep Out The UV Rays Off Your Orbs

The sun's ultraviolet rays can wreak havoc on your skin, particularly on the delicate areas like your eyes. Always try to avoid direct sunlight especially between 10AM and 3PM. The best way to shield your eyes from UV rays is wearing quality sunglasses. Of course, you also need to apply sunscreen not only on your eye area but on all the exposed parts of your body.

In the same note, you should also avoid staring at your computer screen continuously for long hours. Try to look away from the monitor every ten to fifteen minutes. The radiation from your computer screen, or TV for that mater, can strain your eyes and affect the skin that surrounds it over time.

Truly, having beautiful eyes is important for your overall appearance. The sad thing is that the skin on your eye area is the first to exhibit the effects of aging and any other damages.

Anti Aging Skin Care

2007-10-04T05:51:00.000-07:00

By: Darryl Rambo

Is your skin telling you it’s time to make a change? Are you developing lines and wrinkles that you can’t seem to get rid of? In our modern world there are products designed to diminish fine lines and wrinkles, refine texture, and even skin tone for a more even skin tone and overall appearance.

The cause for wrinkles is a loss of collagen and elastin. You want a wrinkle treatment that makes the skin and tissues firm. The amount of wrinkling you have depends on your DNA make-up, dry skin and exposure to the elements usually make it worse, especially sunburns. Smoking of course is one of the most harmful.

You have a number of treatments you can choose from, and the treatment you choose can be tailored to suit your particular situation. Some of these treatments I am personally opposed to, but you may find them to be acceptable. For instance, I am opposed to any treatment that contains the following:

• Botox injections are one of the treatments used successfully by many, and it’s claimed that it also may help migraine suffers. The objection that I have is that it is a toxin, and nearly everyone these days is trying to de-tox (get the toxins out of their bodies) not inject them into their bodies. This toxin, when injected blocks the chemical that makes muscles move. That doesn’t sound good to me either.

• DHEA, dehydroepiandrosterone: a steroid hormone naturally produced by the adrenal cortex and found in human urine. The truth is very little is known about DHEA. Long term effects of self-medicating by using DHEA supplements may be beneficial, neutral, or harmful, but it is unlikely that DHEA supplements will affect each individual in the same way. Increasing DHEA may well increase testosterone, which in men may lead to prostate enlargement and in women may lead to facial hair. Increasing estrogen may help prevent osteoporosis or heart disease but may increase the risk of breast cancer. In other words, taking DHEA is a gamble.

The above treatments are probably acceptable to many of you, and possibly even preferred. As for me, I am not only interested in looking younger, I would also like to live longer. For that reason I prefer a cell renewal fluid that contains products like the following.

• Gluconolactone—gentle enough for all skin types, this polyhydroxy acid (PHA) increases skin cell turnover, diminishes the appearance of lines and wrinkles and improves texture, and it’s not toxic.

• Soy isoflavones—promote skin firming and the smoothing of lines and wrinkles while working to inhibit metalloproteinase (MMP) enzymes that stimulate the degradation of collagen and elastin.

There are many more, but you get the idea, smoothing wrinkles does not have to cause toxicicity or be unsafe.

A cell renewal fluid that contains these ingredients will gently but effectively accelerate cell renewal. It provides antioxidant protection and enhances skin hydration to smooth texture and diminish the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Soy isoflavones lend support by promoting the production of skin proteins and inhibiting the enzymes that break them down.

Young healthy skin regularly sheds dead surface cells and replenishes them with newer, plumper cells from deeper layers of the skin. This process is called cell renewal. As individuals age, cell renewal begins to decline. This decrease causes the cells in the outer layer of the skin to become sticky and accumulate on the surface, leading to a dull, sallow complexion; a rough texture; and an increase in pore size. Polyhydroxy acids (PHA’s) increase the cell renewal process, mimicking that of young, healthy skin. PHA’s work by breaking down the extra-cellular matrix that holds cells together, which allows the dead cells to slough off. As the skin’s surface is exfoliated, basal cells in the lowest layer of the epidermis are stimulated to speed up their rate of division, bringing younger, healthier cells to the surface. Smoother, firmer, and more radiant, these younger cells reveal a youthful complexion.

In my opinion, you will be much better off if you choose the anti aging formula that detoxifies the skin rather than make it more toxic. http://www.totaslskincareproducts.com/antiagingskincareproducts.html
