1. What is skin rejuvenation?Skin rejuvenation is combating the signs of aging using the latest innovative, non invasive treatments that give you visibly younger, healthy, radiant skin. Skin rejuvenation is not about looking like a teenager when you are 80, but is about using the best that technology can offer you to make your skin look fresh and healthy, thus reflecting a younger looking person. Why we should do skin rejuvenation There is a time in our life where we become more aware of our body and skin health, we start to be more conscious about our facial skin imperfections like wrinkles, face lines and sagging skin. Now that we are no longer teenagers it becomes necessary to protect our skin and use rejuvenation treatments to recover your smooth and young looking skin. Once we reach our 30s some of the signs of aging start to appear, due to intrinsic and extrinsic causes our skin gets damaged and the body slows the generation of new cells, this causes collagen to breakdown thus producing wrinkles and face lines. Some of the external causes of skin damage are: sun over exposure, pollution, cosmetic chemicals, environment toxins, smoke, etc. On the other hand the internal cause of skin aging are bad eating habits, lack of anti oxidants, decline in hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin breakdown, hormonal imbalance and others. Skin Rejuvenation Treatments There are different approaches to rejuvenate the skin and erase the signs of aging, some people undergo surgery treatments, therapies, others use anti aging creams, lotions and other just use natural home remedies or holistic treatments. First you should try natural treatments or at least improve your lifestyle to protect your skin from more damage. Some simple ways to naturally reduce skin aging is to drink a lot of water, moisture your skin, follow a daily skin care routine, eat foods rich in vitamins, avoid smoking and exercise. Now, if you think that your wrinkles and sagging skin are very severe and that you need an aggressive treatment, then you may want to ask your doctor about the popular anti aging treatments available like: Laser treatments, Chemical Peels, Botox Injections, Radio Wave Frequency, Micro Dermabrasion, Face Lifts. There are other treatments but those are the most common ones, each one has its advantages and disadvantages, for example micro dermabrasion can be painful and some people have reported poor results. Laser treatments are highly effective and there are testimonials from many people that have achieved great results.

3. Serum for Skin RejuvenationWhat is a serum, and how do you make one? Basically a serum is a type of moisturizer for your skin that is a liquid, and often jammed packed with ingredients that contain a lot of vitamins and nutrients. There are many kinds of serums. Serums are usually oil based or water based. Some contain both oils and waters. They can be used under or over or in place of creams and lotions, depending on the serum. They differ from creams and lotions in that they are usually not made with emulsifiers, hence are liquid. However there are some made with emulsifiers, and those are usually a little thicker like gels. They are often lighter in weight than creams and lotions, and are seen as special treatment products. I haven't made a water based serum yet, but I have made oil based serums which are basically made with carrier oils and essential oils. Oil based serums are also called facial oils. A basic formula for an oil based serum:
To a 1 ounce colored glass bottle, add 6-12 drops of essential oils, and then fill the bottle with a carrier oil. This will make a 1-2% concentration of essential oil (6 drops make 1% while 12 drops make 2% concentration). For people with sensitive skin, you may want to use less than 6 drops of essential oil. For women who are pregnant, or people who have medical conditions please consult with a doctor and aromatherapist before use. What carrier oils and essential oils can I use to improve the clarity of my skin, and help with discoloration/scars? To improve the health of your skin, I suggest camellia oil (which is from the green tea plant) which is good for all skin types (it is one of the lightest oils and soaks in immediately). To help with the discoloration, try rosehip seed oil which is good for healing old and new scars, so may help with discoloration also. It is usually used for dry to normal skin (and should not be used on skin with acne) so you should probably mix it with another oil. For essential oils, I recommend helichrysum essential oil. Other essential oils that are good to regenerate the skin are lavender, neroli, frankincense and petitgrain. Source: solarkateco.blogspot.com
4. Your Body Need Rejuvenation TooCosmetic care is not enough for a longer healthy and young looking skin; when taking care of the face skin, the diet plays important role as well. To make it short, how fast your body ages depends on what you eat. Below in the text you will learn about some healthy eating habits that will help you stay young longer. A diet can not smooth out the wrinkles, but can prevent the new ones from emerging. Oatmeal When was the last time you had some oatmeal? If a long time ago, now is the time to look back at those days and make a bow of porridge into daily breakfast habit. Those of you who have never had oatmeal in their life will be the first ones to notice its rejuvenating abilities. A daily beauty salad, that revives the face complexion is made with cooked oatmeal, slices of fresh fruits and berries. Drink Water Insufficient hydration is reflected on your looks before anywhere else. Drink more and more often – up to 8-10 glasses a day. Don’t feel like drinking? Try taking a sip of pure mineral water each time you reach out for a cup of coffee, cookie, or a smoke Cucumber Making some salad? Donate a couple of cucumber slices for your face, neck, and hands skin. Cucumber helps get rid of the emerging age related chloasma; freeze a cucumber, thaw it out, and use its juice to wipe your skin. Eat Red Foods Red beet and carrots are the kings of the rejuvenation kingdom. Add those vegetables raw to any salad, when making some braise, or even put in water when boiling some pasta. Green tea Japanese scientists found out that the polyphenols found in green tea are 20 times more effective than the widely recommended vitamin E; they slow down the aging process in the tissues, act as antioxidants, and lower the cholesterol level. The flavonoids found in green tea can prevent you from developing the heart diseases. source : geniusbeauty.com 5. Recommended Product: Classic Rose Facial Oil
