2008 Skin Tip # 4 of 12: Exfoliate for GREAT Skin

Having great skin means exfoliation! Little babies have great skin because their skin cells are rapidly turning over new cells. The older we get, the slower our cells turn, causing dead skin to cake up (no this is true) on the top layer. This is the dullness you will see with skin.

Looking for smoother and silkier skin? First exfoliate, either chemically or physically, then make sure to rub on some lotion after you exfoliate. Exfoliation takes off the dead layer on skin at the top, which then makes it easier for the lotion to work its magic on your skin.

For beautiful glowing skin, we suggest getting a Seaside Sugar and Tea Scrub (Physical Exfoliation) from nSPA or a Beach Ready Young Body (Chemical Exfoliation.

2008 Pro Yoga Tip #3: Let N. Yoga Help You Unwind

How to get the most out of N.Yoga??

#1. You should wear loose clothing, (not loose like if you stand on your head, your shirt will fall over your head)- Loose as in not too tight. No shoes or socks, so you must have pretty toes, and no cracked heels.

#2. It is important to breathe. Don't hold your breathe, but breathe in and breathe out with conviction...like you really mean it. It will start to make a difference in how your body responds. With every exhale, you get to stretch just a little further and just a little further. Inhale through the nose and exaggerate your exhale through your mouth.

#3. It helps to have eaten at least 4 hours before a session of yoga, so that you have strength and energy to last the hour or so. You would think that all of that stretching and posing would not require so much energy, but it does...it will wear you out and change how your body looks.

#4. Do you ever hear people say...oh I couldn't go to the gym, because I'm not in great shape. Ha, you will never hear that in yoga. It doesn't matter whether you are 15 or 95, pencil-thin or robustly rotunda, limber like a ballerina or stiff as ladder-backed chair...it just doesn't matter. Anyone can take yoga...I mean anyone.

#5. As the weeks go by, feel your body respond to the movement, the poses...the muscles change..you start to become aware of your breathing, your posture...and for 1 hour...your mind takes a backseat to your body. It's hard to think about something, when you have one leg in the air, one arm in front of you, one shoulder turned to the sky.

Yoga isn't a religion, it was ancient wisdom telling us to take time for us!
