Get Rid of Neck Wrinkles and Lines

The skin on your neck is thin and delicate and gets greater amounts sun exposure when compared to other areas of your body. We often think of shielding our faces from excessive sun exposure with hats and sunblocks, but we tend to forget about the needs of our delicate necks. Over the years, this repeated U.V. exposure can lead to premature aging and sagging of neck skin where wrinkles and lines begin to etch, resulting in what many unflatteringly refer to as "turkey neck". Oftentimes, the skin on the neck will show signs of aging well before a woman's face will, especially if she yoyo diets. Rapid weight loss and weight gain fluctuations can lead to greatly increase skin laxity due to the stretching and deflating of gain and loss of fat. This breaks down collagen fibers and the elasticity of the skin. That's why it's always best to try to keep your weight rather stable over the years. 

As if environmental and diet related aging aren't enough, we are now faced with a new and increasing phenomenon that is causing aging of the neck and it's called tech neck! With the constant looking down at our cell phones, we are creasing our neck skin day in and day out, and that can lead to premature wrinkling of the neck skin.  You can help remedy these problems by limiting that repetitive movement, as well as applying certain beneficial products to your neck that will help fight aging tremendously by smoothing, softening, preventing and even reversing neck wrinkles. In my video above, I share with you a two-step natural anti-aging anti-wrinkle beauty treatment that you can easily implement into your nighttime skin care routine to help you fight premature aging of your neck skin as well as reverse neck lines and wrinkles. It's pretty amazing, and I have used these treatments for years. I tell you all about it in my video. I hope you will make them a regular part of your beauty routine.

How To Look Beautiful With No Makeup

I think one of the most positive things that has come out of my experience with having to be in lockdown and working from home is that I have come to embrace not wearing makeup. At first I think many of us loved not having to get ready every morning and put makeup on and do our hair etc. It was a welcomed respite from the normal routine and a chance to give our skin a bit of a rest. However, as the weeks wained on and we remained socially isolated and still working from home, many of my friends started telling me they felt like they were in a rut and have let themselves go. They were sick of looking at themselves looking like they just rolled out of bed and had no drive to change that. I totally understood how they felt and we laughed about it on FaceTime, but then something interesting happened, after a while we kinda got used to seeing ourselves that way and we no longer felt that just because we had no makeup on, we were in a rut or in some kind of hiding. It was kind of a flash back to middle school before you ever wore makeup. We simply got used to seeing ourselves without makeup, and instead of feeling like we were in a rut, we started feeling free! We weren't afraid to be seen without our "face on"as they say. This transformation was part of our evolution of self confidence. In fact, studies have shown that the more insecure a woman is, the more makeup she puts on, but can the actual act of wearing makeup cause you to develop an insecurity that you never had? The answer is yes. There are thousands upon thousands of makeup videos on YouTube showing you products that you think you need in order to look beautiful. They convince you that you need to look a certain way or buy a certain product to look and feel beautiful and confident, but the truth is, you are already beautiful and you always were. You were just covering it up for so long that you forgot what your natural beauty looked like!

Well, over these past months, I have had the pleasure of regaining my positive relationship with my natural beauty; the beauty I was born with. Now when I want to enhance my natural beauty, I do it very selectively, just like a middle-school-aged girl putting on lip gloss for the first time, or trying a little blush on her cheeks. I'm selective, because I don't want to hide my newly born-again natural beauty that I have just become friends with again after all these years. This amazing realization led me to do this video, How To Look Beautiful With No Makeup, to help inspire you to discover your natural beauty again and to show you that you can feel beautiful, sexy, and confident with a no makeup look. There are a few essentials that you should incorporate everyday to keep your skin healthy and supple and help prevent aging which I discuss in the video, but the rest is just personal preference.  I also share with you some great anti-aging tips and tricks that I think you will find helpful to promote beautiful smooth skin, but the important thing to always remember is that beauty comes from inside, self confidence comes from inside and this experience with being in lockdown may just have birthed a whole new beauty trend. A trend where women look within and allow their beauty to radiate out rather than be painted on.  True beauty is in the way you treat others and the world. It is in the kindness and sincerity that you share with others and in the compassion you have for yourself. So please watch my video, How To Look Beautiful With No Makeup and then challenge yourself to develop a better relationship with your looks, to develop your self confidence without wearing makeup. Try to practice acting the same way without makeup that you would when you are wearing full makeup. Before you know it, you will feel your inner butterfly emerging from her cocoon. It's a wonderful exercise in personal growth. Too many women look in the mirror and don't like what they see. How did they get there? Children don't know anything about looks, they are just themselves. It's society that starts to dictate and judge what is and isn't beautiful. Don't fall into that trap. All things created under God are beautiful and you are one of them. You are as beautiful as a spring flow or a soaring eagle. You just need to see it.

There's also one additional bonus to not wearing makeup, or minimal makeup, and that is the money you will save! I have not bought one single makeup product this year and I don't feel any need or want to. When I watch YouTube videos now of women piling on makeup, I think they look completely overdone. I think to myself how much nicer they would look with a much lighter hand and soft natural glow. I hope you enjoy my video and I hope it inspires you to embrace your God-given natural beauty to.  xoLinda

Is Dermarolling or Microneedling Safe? Does It Work?

Well, after doing a bit of research on dermarolling and microneedling, which I share in my latest YouTube video, Dermarolling and Microneedling: Is It Safe? Does It Work?, it seems the latest beauty craze is another in the risky category.  We really have to be careful these days about what's being promoted as the latest and greatest anti-aging beauty treatment. Products are getting riskier and riskier to the health of our skin and bodies. With the help of social media, the movement into cosmeceuticals (part cosmetics and part pharmaceutical drugs) has been swift and the derma roller is no exception. It's another in the category of medical-type therapies to enhance beauty. The derma roller was invented as tool to better deliver pharmaceutical drugs into the human body and next thing you know it has found its way into the beauty world. It promises smoother skin, fading of acne scars, stretch marks, and hyperpigmentation, and even claims to help prevent aging by activating collagen production. There is no shortage of beauty gurus on YouTube and the internet promoting its use. However, BUYER BEWARE on this one, because it also comes with great risk to your health.

Several of my viewers asked me whether I would review the dermaroller and micro needling and also wanted to know if I used it on my own skin. So, in my latest video below I share that information, which is honest and truthful as always. You will learn all about this so-called anti-aging beauty treatment. Be sure to check out the comments below the video too, so you can hear the experiences of others who have used it. It's eye opening. You will be surprised that something so popular in the beauty community is actually quite harmful for your skin and fraught with risk to your health. If you are currently using this device on your skin, or if you are considering using it, don't wait another minute, watch my video so you can make an informed and educated decision. We live in a world that is product and revenue driven, please always be aware of that. Unfortunately, when products become popular, especially if the message is delivered by someone you like and enjoy watching to, then people tend to let their guards down and can often just follow the crowd, thinking that if everyone is doing it, it must be safe and it must work. Not the case. Sadly, it's about making money at the expense of women's insecurities about their looks and aging; a marketing tactic that has been used on women for decades. So when someone is trying to convince you to injure yourself in the name of beauty and looking younger, tell them no thanks!

 I hope you like my video, and please remember to share it!
