Facials Fight Aging

Facials should be done on a regular basis and NOT once a year or whenever you feel like getting them.  You will see the best results when you have facials every 4-6 weeks.

Facials vary as we all know but to me the basics always need to be completed during any facial to make it benefit you and your skin.      

• A skin analysis that covers how your skin is doing and what issues you want to over come. 
• Exfoliation
• Extraction
• High frequency 
• And some type of finishing products. 

If these are not being done then you are not getting the benefits of a true professional treatment.

Now, I believe that facials should actually be skin therapy.  I have been doing Esthetics for so long that I just can't do a basic facials anymore.  I know I can do so much more for the skin.  And certain treatments like LED light therapy,Oxygen therapy, Ultra Sound and high peptide treatments all can make a difference in the skin.  But here is the catch.  They have to be done on a regular basis to make a true long term change in the skin.

So one has to ask.  Is it cheaper for me to be consistent on my facials or do I want to pay a whole lot of money on alternative measures like Botox, fillers and laser.  I think having a relaxing, therapeutic anti-aging facial is much more beneficial and relaxing then having injections every few months and fillers pushed into the skin.

Be you, be real and enjoy life naturally!

Summer Ready? Fat Flush Body & Mind!

What's the Protocol to get SUMMER READY?

Fat Flush the Body & Mind.

Step 1:  Drink this infused water for a fat and water detox.  Drink a minimum of 3 glasses a day but preferably the whole pitcher throughout the day FOREVER!!

Recipe:

Put all ingredients into a 64 oz pitcher. (If adding herbal tea- I like the TAZO passion fruit herbal tea) brew 32 oz of tea and then add 32 oz of cold water (then add the rest of the ingredients)

• 1 Grapefruit- cut into slices
• 3 tangerines, 
• 1-2 cucumbers
• Hand full of mint leaves.  

Step 2: Take Geri G.® Green Meal Caps on an empty stomach in the AM and afternoon. 

Take the Geri G.® Essential Meal (after exercising) preferably in the AM.  Second meal in the afternoon.

Step 3: Trampoline with 1 pound arms weights for minimum of 10 min - 30 mins (maximum) a day. 

Take off the arm weights if they get to be too heavy after 10 min.

Step 4:  Walk 10,000 steps a day or 3-4 miles. Get a pedometer - It REALLY helps.

Step 5:  Eat fiber and potassium rich foods. Such as: organic flax meal, chia seeds, cucumbers, brussels sprouts (the vitamin C in brussels sprouts helps metabolize fat-120% of vitamin C to be exact!!), kale, asparagus, cauliflower, cabbage. Just about anything green but NEVER soy! 

No need to take a supplement when you eat your greens everyday!  .

Step 6:  Have extra plant protein instead of flesh protein which is very acidic (the key to lasting weight loss and a life free of diets is eating alkaline foods and omitting acidic flesh in your diet as much as possible).  One extra serving of plant protein should help shed the fat. The body doesn't store protein it needs it to burn fat and release fat burning hormones.

•  Hemp protein and brown rice protein are optimal choices.
•  Geri G. Green Meal Caps are full of plant protein and rich in vitamins and minerals.)

Step 7: Drink 64-80 ounces of water a day (which you should already be doing)!!

Step 8:  No coffee or black tea. It makes you hold on to water and therefore makes you look bigger than you really are! Ahhh! 

• Yerba Matte Tea instead of coffee or black tea. Yerba Matte Tea has caffeine, plus vitamins, minerals and protein. 

Step 9: Get 7-8 hours of sleep everynight.  

• A great over the counter complete natural sleep aid is Somnapure. It can help regulate sleep patterns.
