Models Direct today gave out 5 top skincare tips to make you feel confident in your skin this summer. They are:

  1. Exfoliate 2 times a week. It will soften your skin and enhance the appearance of cellulite.
  2. Moisturize your skin (with either moisturizer or even a body oil) daily.
  3. Visit a tanning salon, rather than being baked on the beach, if you want to get tanned. It is much safer.
  4. If you don not have a shaving cream but still want to shave, you can use a moisturizing shower cream or hair conditioner for the same purpose.
  5. Use Aloe Vera if you get a sunburn. It is a quick remedy.

Go here to read the details of each tip. When you are done, make sure to come back and leave me a comment. You know I love it=]

Studies have shown that resveratrol is a natural and effective anti aging antioxidant to defy aging. Resveratrol could be found in red wine, grapes, peanuts, berries, herbs; and the ingredient in reveratrol, sirtuins, can help protect skin, reduce cellular decay, repair cell, and prevent cancer and more.

To get all of these benefits, you have to take about 10 mg daily, but an average glass of red wine only contains 2 mg of reveratrol. Now the question is how can I absorb enough resveratrol every single day?

Some companies have produced anti aging products that allow you to consume 100 – 575 mg resveratrol per day easily. Below are some of the well-known products.

  • Reserveage Organics Resveratrol 250
  • Now Foods Natural Resveratrol Concentrate
  • Genesis Today 4 Resveratrol

You can go here and get a better idea towards these anti aging products. Please share your thought with us if you have other better way to consume resveratrol.
