Your poor skin has so many factors against it. So many things just itching to get in there and do some damage. Heredity, lifestyle, stress, aging, illness and yes, even environment. There is no way to escape all the villains ready to attack and destroy the youthful, healthy appearance of our younger days. In previous posts I have addressed every issue except for environment. Today that is what we will focus on.

Does environment merely mean where you reside? Does it mean the surroundings where you spend little of your time? Does it mean the surroundings where you spend a lot of your time? Does it mean the great outdoors? The answer is yes; to all of them. Your environment is where ever YOU are. Outside in the sun? Bad. In a crowded, smoke filled room? Bad. Surrounded by chemical fumes? Bad. Extreme heat? Bad. Extreme cold? Bad. Sometimes even sitting in a ventilated office can be slowly doing damage to your skin. (Example: mold in the air conditioning vents). Those are just a few of the situations your skin may find itself in, helpless to do anything to protect itself. Aside from living in a plastic bubble with pure fresh air pumped inside, nearly every minute of your life is spent in an environment that is breaking down the suppleness and health of your skin.

What can you do? Do you need to move to an isolated jungle far away from the reaches of civilization? Well, no. Not yet. First I want you to try the five in 5 facial exercises.

How much of your mother are you?

You have her eyes, you have her smile. You have her personality. You have her shape. Whatever the traits that definitely shows the mother daughter connection, one trait that doesn’t have to be passed on is how you show your age in your face.

Appearances are altered by many factors. Stress, lifestyle, environment, heredity and aging to name a few. How well you carry your appearance as you age is heavily reliant on how well the other women in your family carry theirs.

Just because your mother has signs of aging, doesn’t mean you will show the same signs when you reach her age. There are steps you can take to reduce the amount of wrinkles, lines and puffiness you have.
Sunscreen has been proven to reduce the damage done to our skin. When mom was younger, sunscreen was hardly spoken about. That’s something your generation has that hers didn’t. Ways to reduce and manage stress are more readily available to women of these days that weren’t as prevalent when mom was dealing with her day to day issues. And mom didn’t have the IPhone.

Technology has brought us many luxuries and conveniences not available to our moms. The Five in 5 iPhone application is one very important resource we have to battle the signs of aging. For a low, onetime fee of only $4.95, you can have the Five in 5 facial exercises delivered right to your phone and turn back the clock.

Five minutes a day, five simple exercises. Visible results. Lift your eyebrows, diminish the wrinkles, and freshen your skin tone for a radiant glow. Blood flow to the facial area is increased with the exercises as you sculpt and tighten your whole face and neck area.

You will still have her eyes; they will just stand out better, not hidden beneath saggy droopy eyelids. You will still have her smile, just without the creases around your mouth. Take advantage of the one thing that can set mother and daughter apart.

Everybody ages. Having your age etched into your face isn’t necessarily a preference of anyone. I’m here to tell you that you can embrace getting older without having it written in big bold lines and wrinkles.

Previous life choices, sun damage, and even heredity can be contributing factors to prematurely aged skin. Until now, the only way to correct any of the damaging effects was with radical surgery or expensive products.

The Fivein5 facial toning exercises will lift and tighten all those saggy areas in your face that seemed to puff out over time. The worry lines and creases will fill in, naturally, as you increase the oxygen and blood flow to the entire facial area.

Just five minutes a day can help take years off your appearance. Simple exercises you can do anytime; sitting in traffic, reading your morning newspaper, or slicing vegetables for a nice healthy complexion -friendly salad.
