    Getting a good night’s sleep also depends on how you treat the inside of your body. Here are some tips suggested by Sophia Ruan Gushee, author of A to Z of D-Toxing: The Ultimate Guide to Reducing Our Toxic Exposures, on how to get your healthiest sleep.

     

    1. Develop a routine: Sticking to a schedule will help you fall asleep faster.

     

    1. Detox your bedroom: Turn WiFi and other devices off at night. If you can’t, then create as much distance as possible from WiFi routers and turn WiFi devices to airplane mode. Crack the windows open to allow toxic fumes to escape.

     

    1. Avoid technology before bedtime: Turn off your TV or computer a few hours before sleeping as the blue light emitted from video displays can confuse your body clock and keep you awake.

    CeraVe® Skin Renewing Cream Serum helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles without the harsh effects of other retinols. It contains an encapsulated 1% retinol andceramide complex to help reduce the visible signs of aging, while being gentle on the skin. CeraVe® Skin Renewing Night Cream was designed to work with the circadian rhythm of your skin to soften and renew the look of tired looking skin overnight.

    Cerave_Moisturing_family_shot_v_01 CeraVe® Skin Renewing Cream Serum and CeraVe® Skin Renewing Night Cream help to repair and restore the skin barrier while revealing brighter, smoother, more radiant looking skin.

    Let’s Take a Closer Look

    CeraVe® Skin Renewing Cream Serum contains vederine, a Vitamin D analog for additional epidermal and skin barrier support. CeraVe® Skin Renewing Night Cream contains exclusive ceramide and peptide complex, along with Kollaren and chronoline to support skin renewal and elasticity. The products in this duo each help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, so you can wake up to skin that looks refreshed and renewed.

    The Nighttime is the Right Time

    The nighttime is usually a less stressful time. Your skin is less available to the elements and the environment, and you can allow it some valuable downtime from foundation, concealer, blush and the arsenal of cosmetics many women apply every day. It’s an opportunity for your skin to relax. Now, you can maximize this precious time to help it look even better. Known for its tradition of gentle care, CeraVe® can put the nighttime hours to good use for your skin.

    CeraVe® Skin Renewing Cream Serum (1 oz. tube) and CeraVe® Skin Renewing Night Cream (1.7 oz. jar) will be available at Walgreens, CVS, Walmart, and Target in February 2015 with an SRP of $17.99 each. For more information, please visit: www.cerave.com or www.valeant.com.

    @AmarteSkincare Wonder Cream and Mushroom Emollient

    The magical properties of mushrooms continue- and this time with exceeding skin care benefits. September is Mushroom Month- and now it’s more relevant than ever to celebrate the anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, and protecting agents found in mushroom abundant skin care regimens. Mushrooms naturally boost the overall health and youth of your skin, reminding us that the mushroom’s positive uses stretch far beyond nutrition benefits!

    Vitamin D and anti-oxidant rich, mushrooms possess unique anti-aging properties, and protect the skin against fine lines and wrinkles to smooth out those pesky signs of aging. Beyond the ability to smooth complexions, tones and fine lines, mushrooms are a natural anti-inflammatory which calm and sooth irritating skin conditions like acne, rosacea, and eczema. Amarte, the premiere luxury skin care line that combines Eastern skin care philosophy with the power of Western dermatology, has recently launched Amarte Wonder Cream– a powerful anti-aging cream filled with a unique mushroom emollient that enhances immunity and shields skin from inflammatory triggers, irritation, environmental toxins and UV damage.

     Wonder Cream has a very slight citrus scent and absorbs very quickly into your skin. You can use it for under your makeup in your morning routine or like how I do it – at night right before I sleep. The easy airless pump distributes enough product in one push. I love the girly nature of the packaging and the pretty design makes me reach of it every time I open my vanity.  The ingredients are hand selected to make the perfect combination of beautiful silky skin!
