Be Skin Savvy #12 – “Fountain of Youth!” Several years ago my Dad sent me a birthday card and wrote in it “When you find the fountain of youth let me know!” Well Dad, good news, I think I have!!! Water! Yes, water! Water is the fountain of youth. The skin is made up of approximately 65% water, each living cell in our body is composed of water in fact the human body is approximately 75% water, but oh dear, (and here comes the downer) ….we loose it as we age 
🙁 I wish it were… so simple that all you had to do was drink your eight glasses and mist a little H2O on your face but sorry, you really have to invest a little more time into than that. Yes, drink your eight glasses load up on hydrating fruits and veggies,(from the inside out is just as important!) but with winter fast approaching don’t forget to add additional moisture to your routine. Serums laced with hyaluronic acid to bind moisture into the skin. Lipids in your moisturizer, such as ceramides and sphingolipids, to protect against moisture loss and keep the skin supple, and dimethicone in your barrier cream to act like an invisible ski mask. Give me a call to make your fall appointment for a peel to sweep away those dead summer skin cells, and a deep moisturizing mask to keep the wrinkles at bay. Oh yes! Don’t forget to drink your eight glasses!
