Beauty From the Inside Out
Beauty starts from the inside out - and when it comes to our skin, what we put into our bodies can not
only affect how we feel, but also how we look. As the cooler weather sets in, our skincare regiment
becomes more important than ever. Be conscious of what's going inside and your exterior will reap
the benefits this season.

What’s the most important tip for maintaining healthy skin?
Remember that it’s all about what you’re putting into your body. Our skin is our body’s largest organ
and protects us from heat, light, injury and infection. Beautiful skin means healthy skin and you need
to remember that it starts with what you put INTO your body. I’ve been working with some companies
that I’ll be talking about to share some great tips for how to ensure you’re taking proper care of your
skin – especially as we head into the cooler, dryer months.
How does nutrition affect skin?
Maintain a diet rich in nutrients and antioxidants. Antioxidants protect against free radical damage to
our cells, so not only will antioxidants help to protect our skin from sun damage, but they can also help
fight lines and wrinkles. Fruits and vegetables are a natural source for antioxidants – Berries in
particular – blueberries, strawberries and raspberries. Another way you can incorporate these fruits
into your diet, is through a natural fruit juice. Fruit2Day for example is one that contains two servings of
fruit in each bottle. So it’s a great way to make sure you’re getting your fruit fix, but in a quick and
convenient way.
Fruit2Day

Price: $3.75 for a 2 pack
Product Description: Fruit2day is a new way to eat fruit. It's a drinkable and edible fruit snack with real
fruit bits that's unlike anything you've tried before. Fruit2day blends a variety of real fruit bits, rich fruit
purees, and all natural fruit juices in four great-tasting flavor combinations. The inclusion of real bits
of fruit in Fruit2day makes it the FIRST product of its kind in the U.S. grocery stores. Unlike many
premium juices currently on the market, Fruit2day is all-natural with 2 servings of fruit (or half your
daily requirements) in each 6.75 oz bottle. It contains no added sugar and has only 110-120 calories.
It is naturally high in Vitamin C. You can find it in your local grocery store produce section next to the
chilled fruits and juices.
Hydration is also a key factor to maintaining healthy skin. Water provides moisture, which increases
your skins elasticity and helps maintain a youthful appearance. So make sure you’re drinking at least
8 cups of water a day to really ensure your giving your skin the moisture it needs.
In addition to water, consider some topical products that can help lock moisture into your skin.
Vaseline Petroleum Jelly is one example. It not only hydrates your skin, but works as a shield to lock
moisture in, and allow damaged skin to repair itself from the inside-out.
Vaseline Petroleum Jelly

Price: $4.89 for 13 oz
Product Description: Vaseline® Petroleum Jelly serves two functions: First it helps keep the outside
world out - it protects skin from the effects of weather and exposure. Second, it acts like a sealant to
help keep the inside world in - it forms an occlusive barrier to the natural water loss of our skin. So
skin that is dry and chapped is protected from drying elements, enabling skin-softening moisture to
build up naturally from inside the skin itself. It combines a mixture of mineral oils, paraffin and
microcrystalline waxes that, when blended together, create something remarkable - a smooth jelly
that has a melting point just above body temperature. The result - it literally melts into skin, flowing
into the spaces between cells and the gaps in our lipid barrier. Once there, it re-solidifies, locking
itself in place.
For many of us that may already be facing the affects of sun damage, scarring or signs of aging –
there are many treatments available. One new trend in skincare treatment – is SUBLATIVE SKIN
REJUVINATION by eMatrix. What this means is that instead of the traditional treatments that may
have used light or laser which can overheat the top layer of our skin – this method uses ENERGY to
penetrate through the skin in tiny pin points allowing more energy beneath the surface of the skin to
maximize collagen production while keeping the top layer of the skin intact. So it’s going to help
reduce the appearance of scarring due to acne, reduce irregularities and wrinkles on your skin – and
overall improve the appearance of your skin – but this method is going to be much more gentle on
your skin, and allow for quicker recovery than treatments in the past.
eMatrix Sublative Rejuvenation

Product Description: Imagine a treatment that can treat fine lines and wrinkles, improve the
appearance of acne scars, improve textural irregularities, and tighten skin--all in one sitting. Now,
imagine you can achieve all this in a treatment that requires little- to-no downtime and is clinically
proven for ALL skin types. FDA-cleared Sublative Rejuvenation using eMatrix is truly a unique
procedure because it's the first to combine the results you can get with aggressive treatments--with
no downtime. The secret to Sublative Rejuvenation is the energy used and how the energy is
delivered through the skin. Sublative Rejuvenation uses fractionated bi-polar radio frequency to
penetrate through the skin--sending more energy beneath the surface of the skin to really maximize
collagen production--while keeping the top layer of the skin intact. This is an important factor in why
it's safe for all skin types.
Benefits of Sublative Rejuvenation:
- Sublative Rejuvenation is clinically proven to treat fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars and
stretch marks, textural irregularities caused by excessive sun exposure, and skin tightening.
- Little to no downtime post-treatment - patients can return to regular activities following
treatment.
- Sublative Rejuvenation is the "all-natural" approach to enhancing your youthfulness. Unlike
other non-aggressive cosmetic treatments such as Botox, fillers, or chemical peels, Sublative
Rejuvenation works from the inside out by stimulating cell regrowth. Thus results with
Sublative Rejuvenation last longer and can be further enhanced with yearly maintenance
treatments.
- A full-face treatment session takes less than 20 minutes.
- Proven safe and effective on ALL skin types and degrees of pigmentation.
