Come on you sorry looking benchwarmers! Get up and fight back against pimples, breakouts and dry skin.

All right men, get up off the bench! You’re part of this skin care game too. Although you may be able to preserve your youthful appearance for longer than woman that does not mean that you don’t have to take care of your skin.

The quality of your skins appearance is constantly under attack by pimples, breakouts, black spots, grease, and shaving! As you may know, the best defense is a good offence. In this case, your best affront is a fantabulous skin care routine. So listen up, take notes, and get started!

Cleanse                                                                                                                                                     Embrace your softer side! Get rid of excess facial oil that causes breakouts and pimples by using a gentle facial cleanser once to twice daily. Try a cleanser that contains salicylic acid as it helps to penetrate through dirt, oil and dead skin cells.

Tone                                                                                                                                                                  Bigger is not always better! Use a facial toner to reduce the size of facial pores and cool the skin. This results in a firmer and more youthful skin texture. It also helps in preventing acne and acne-related problems.

Moisturize                                                                                                                                                            Be smooth! A good daily moisturizer helps to provide continued hydration and increases the protection, the nourishment and the regeneration of skin.

Shaving                                                                                                                                                                Be Careful with your equipment! Shaving roughens your skin and has a dehydrating effect. Avoid pressing your razor too roughly against your skin and be sure to work your shaving cream into a rich lather using warm water before beginning. Once you have finished apply an after-shave lotion or an after-shave balm to re-moisturize your skin.

Sunscreen                                                                                                                                                      Don’t forget protection! Always wear a UVA and UVB protecting sunscreen with an SPF of 50.

As beneficial as a good skin care routine is, overall physical health is important too. Be sure to drink plenty of water, eat a healthy well balanced diet, and get regular physical exercise (and yes, all types of exercise count!).

A balanced-healthy diet is the perfect companion for any skin care regimen.

Look your best this summer by adding the following essential foods to your diet. They’ll be great for your health and will do wonders for your skin!

Green and Red Peppers                                                                                                                                   The natural nutrients and anti-oxidants provided by red and green peppers help to prevent the development of free radicals that contribute to skin cell damage, and premature aging. Not to mention, the high water content is great for skin!

Fish                                                                                                                                                                       The Omega 3 fatty acids within fish help to prevent heart disease, and help to stimulate the immune system. The oils also moisturize skin and act as a natural anti-inflammatory.

• Don’t like fish? Try extra virgin olive oil for a similar effect!

Strawberries                                                                                                                                                       Not only are strawberries tasty and easy to prepare, but are also high in Vitamin C, which helps to fend off wrinkles and age related skin dryness.

Double the deliciousness by dipping your strawberries in dark chocolate. The high concentration of antioxidants found in cocoa beans makes it a popular anti-aging food essential.

Tomatoes                                                                                                                                                     Lycopene, a carotenoid helps to keep skin smooth, and may help to protect skin from painful sunburns.

• Tomatoes as well as pink grapefruit, carrots, watermelon, guava, and red peppers are all great sources for lycopene.

Tofu                                                                                                                                                                       Tofu and other soy products such as soymilk help to preserve your skins appearance by promoting collagen production, the firming agent of skin.

Red Wine                                                                                                                                                               At the end of a long hard day, it’s great to relax with a glass of red wine. But did you know it also helps to improve skin texture by increasing blood flow, which helps to increase the supply of nutrients and oxygen, promoting cell turnover?

• Tea and Cocoa work too!

To get the best results, buy local organic fruits and vegetables as much as possible. As a rule, nutrients begin to break down the moment food is harvested. Buying local organic food compensates for this biological reaction, as organic food tends to have more nutrients overall and less time transpires between farm and table.

When the actress turned to the side, several circular blotches were visible on her back that resemble marks left by cupping. Although it looks like she tried to cover the spots with makeup, cupping experts like Saud Hadi could confirm that she had tried the popular alternative treatment.

What is cupping ?

Cupping, also known as kyukaku, is an ancient Chinese medicinal treatment designed to resolve a variety of ailments from skin problems to infertility. Proponents compare the process to acupuncture, and claim it encourages relaxation, healthier skin, cellulite reduction and increased fertility.

With the popular “dry cupping,” small glass cups are heated, and placed on the skin. As the cups cool, they create a vacuum suction that draws blood closer the skin, purifying the
lymphatic system. The process is painless, and the unsightly marks usually heal within a week. Wet cupping, which is more common in Eastern countries, adds controlled medicinal bleeding to this suction approach.

Celebrity Cupping Trend

Jennifer Aniston isn’t the only celebrity with a passion for cupping: Gwyneth Paltrow, Victoria Beckham, Jessica Simpson, Brad Pitt and David Arquette are all fans as well.

Paltrow’s website, Goop, includes a statement from the actress describing alternative medicines as “help[ing] the body heal itself.” Gwyneth Paltrow was photographed on the red carpet several years ago with the same cupping marks that Aniston sported this week.

Vacuum suction therapy actually succeeds at addressing several causes of facial aging

For those willing to experiment with the unconventional, many different anti-aging techniques exist. A quick Google search will tell you that individuals have and still do participate in seemingly odd anti-aging procedures encompassing anything from…

• Deep Penetrating Sound Waves
• Administering an electrical current
• Vacuum suction
• Facials (Bee Venom Facials, Placenta Face Masks, Bird-Poop Facials)
• Leeching
• Injections/Plastic Surgery

Now, the conventional skeptic may consider some if not all of these techniques wishy-washy if not down right hilarious.  But, for the heck of it, let’s consider the merit of one of these practices.

Vacuum Suction Therapy

Vacuum suction therapy had its start in basic manual facial massage. It was found that using the hands to manipulate the facial tissues could be both stimulating and relaxing depending on the movements used. Based on the knowledge that facial muscle tension is a leading cause of fine lines and wrinkles, facial massage became a popular anti-aging method for removing the tension within the muscle fibres promoting the total relaxation of body and mind.

Building off of this technique and the expanding knowledge of wrinkle formation, vacuum suction therapy came into existence. This technique enhances the productivity of the lymphatic and circulatory systems, which renders several anti-aging benefits.

• The vacuum suction helps to remove harmful toxins from facial pores.
• Improved glandular activity, allows for more oil production, which moisturizes skin.
• Enhances the production of collagen and elastin the connective tissues of skin, improving skin texture.
• Increased circulatory system activity allows for more oxygen to be delivered to the facial skin cells increasing the cell turnover rate.
• The soothing massage motion of the vacuum decreases facial muscle tension.

Based on the modern-day understanding of wrinkle formation, vacuum suction therapy actually succeeds at addressing several causes of facial aging. As such, it becomes a useful anti-aging technique for both prevention and repair.

What do you think? Are you ready to start vacuuming?

Although both sexes originate from the same planet, it has become clear that there are biological differences between males and females with respect to the aging-process, with men being able to preserve their youthful appearance till much later in their lives. But, what is it about the male skin-type that gives them this unfair advantage? Based on contemporary knowledge, here are few possibilities…

Moisture                                                                                                                                                             Male skin produces more oil and sweat, which helps keep the skin moist and wrinkle free. This is further amplified by the fact that the outer protective  layer of skin, the epidermis, is 20% thicker for males in comparison to females, allowing more of the moisture to be retained.

Higher Collagen Levels                                                                                                                                 Men naturally have higher collagen levels, a connective tissue that provides our skin with its strength and flexibility. As we age, and with prolonged exposure to harmful UV light, collagen begins to break down. In consequence, our skin begins to sag and wrinkle. Due to this biological advantage, men can withstand more contact with UV light, and experience more years before they begin to notice the effect on their skin.

Faster Cell Renewal                                                                                                                                          As time goes by, our cell renewal rate gradually slows. This occurs because there is less blood circulating and therefore less oxygen being delivered to the skin cells. Throughout the life span, male skin in comparison to female skin tends to have a faster cell renewal rate. As a result, their skin maintains its youthful appearance for longer.

Hair Follicles                                                                                                                                                     Facial hair may act as a physical screen that helps to protect men from the harmful aging properties of ultraviolet light.

However, it’s not all sunshine and daisies for men. Although their unique characteristics provide them with an advantage with respect to aging, their skin type and daily-required routines do present their own set of problems. Pimples, break-outs, black spots, greasy skin, and skin damage caused by shaving are all examples of male skin issues. As such, men do need to take care of their skin like their female counterparts even though they look “peachy” longer.
