Reversing summer skin damage.
JEFFREY SASSMANNSHAUSEN, MD
After a hot and wet summer I am looking forward ,
to fall The change of seasons brings cooler
.
temperatures wonderful colors homemade soups
, , ,
and football As I was looking in the mirror this
.
morning I realized that my skin has really taken a
,
beating this season It dawned on me just how much
.
the environment affects my skin The sun the heat . , ,
the changing humidity wreak havoc on the skin .
And then add pollution How can I expect my skin !
cells to protect me and protect themselves if I am
not willing to take some time to support their health ?
What can I do Simple steps will help
? .
Retinol — I always recommend SkinMedica Retinol
Complex at night as a core product to improve the
health of the skin Retinol has been the gold
.
standard in anti aging and repair since the 1980 s
- ’
and continues today to be the cornerstone of any
skin care regimen A retinol supports the repair
.
process of our skin helping repair the damage done
by the sun and pollution By stimulating how quickly .
the skin cells grow it helps to keep the younger
, ,
healthier cells at the surface of the skin maintaining
a brighter complexion .
Growth Factors — I have and always will be the
strongest proponent for the use of these miracle
proteins In order for the skin to do its job the
. ,
cells must communicate between each other .
This is accomplished with small proteins called
growth factors Using TNS Recovery Complex or
.
TNS Essential Serum buckets of these proteins can
,
be put into the skin stimulating the skin to work at
its optimum Every part of the skin is enhanced
. ,
working at it s ideal efficiency Damage is repaired
' . ,
pigment is evened cell turnover is increased and
, ,
collagen is repaired and produced All of this makes .
the skin look and feel fabulous .

Moisturizer is important now more than ever The season is changing . .
Humidity will be swinging from high to low sometimes throughout the day , .
Our skin will not know what to do Maintaining proper hydration throughout .
the day and night can clear up this confusion HA5 is a miraculous hydrator .
that allows water to be delivered to the skin all day long In doing this it also . ,
increases the skin s own hyaluronic acid which will help the skin collect and
’
store its own water supply Keeping the hydration high will help the skin to
.
turn down its oil production and keep the cells soft and supple You will not .
only see the difference in how the skin looks but also feel the change .
Introducing LUMIVIVE What about the environmental stressors that we expose
!
our skin to every day Pollution is everywhere Damaging ultraviolet radiation is
? .
present all day long Infrared radiation penetrates the skin even deeper adding
.
to future wrinkles Phones and computers emit a continuous blue light which
.
is being found to add to the damaging effect of light The Lumivive two step . -
system works with all skin products Lumivive Day engages the defense system .
of the skin It protects against the blue light from our devices and shields the
.
skin from the pollution found in every environment Overnight Lumivive Night . ,
revitalizes the skin It enhances the skin s ability to repair itself and empowers
. ’
any product to work even better Providing continuous round the clock . - -
support optimizes the skin s vitality and radiance Lumivive works with any
’ .
skin care regimen .
Sunscreen —Remember the sun still shines in the winter Continue the daily
: !
use of sun protection Make sure it is in your makeup too Keep a Colorescience
. .
powdered sunscreen in your car or purse and reapply throughout the day .
Total Defense Repair TD R is the super screen Using it every morning will
& ( & ) !
protect against UVA UVB and Infrared radiation It also contains antioxidants
, , !
which aid in protection from free radicals and repair the damage they cause .
This fall I recommend everyone spend some
time with one of my highly trained skin care
specialists After a thorough skin evaluation with
.
a Visia analysis they can create a program that is
,
ideal for your individual needs A consultation is .
fun educational and a great way to start on a

path to healthier and more beautiful skin Think .
about starting our Skin365 Membership Program
which will help maintain a continuous program

Weight Training
Why Weight Training is the Workout you Need
No disrespect to cardio, but if you want to get healthy inside and out,
strength training is the ticket. We are not talking about 5 pound kettlebells
either. No, this is heavy, time-to-kick-some-booty weights. Strength training
is a major winner for many reasons beyond just burning fat. We have
compiled a list:
Burn More Body Fat.
Lifting weights benefits your body for hours after your workout because your
metabolism stays elevated for several hours, causing you to burn more
calories and fat. A recent Harvard Public Health study found that lifting
weights significantly reduced belly fat in the men who participated. It also
mentioned the importance of including strength training in your aerobic
exercise to burn fat more effectively. A University of Alabama study found
the same to be true for women. Those who lifted weights lost more deep
belly fat than those who just did cardio.

More Defined Muscles Heart Healthy
It is a misconception that if women lift According to a study by The National
heavy weights, their muscles will bulk up Strength and Conditioning Association,
like a man’s. This just is not true, "Resistance exercise shows many favorable
primarily because women have lower cardiovascular benefits and should
testosterone levels. One of the benefits therefore be considered as a part of a daily
of heavy lifting is that it will define your exercise training program." And there are
muscles. Embrace those weights and do long-term pluses, too! For starters, strength

Feel Good
Being strong feels good and will boost your
self-confidence. Lifting weights empowers
you. Use that power in other areas of your
life! Work it!
Do not wait around for New Year’s resolutions. Start weight training today. You do not need a
fancy gym or even expensive equipment. Start with a few weights. Look online for specific
workouts. You could even work with a personal trainer to get started. The key is to get
moving. But before you undertake any new exercise regimen, especially one that is intense,
check with your doctor to get the all-clear.

6 WAYS TO PREVENT
BREAST CANCER
One in eight women will develop breast cancer, according to the American Cancer Society. It is a
scary statistic when you think about it. Put eight of your friends in a room and statistically, one
will be diagnosed. That is why, in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, we are sharing easy
steps you can take to help prevent this awful disease from entering your life. Because, let's be
honest, prevention is so much easier than treatment!
ONE
EXERCISE
Not exercising enough is a common theme with almost every disease, it seems. And for good
reason. Moving your body helps control your weight. Women with more fat in their bodies
naturally have more estrogen, and estrogen can create cell overgrowth which may lead to cancer.
The takeaway? Move your body! Do not stress about how much or how little, just make time
every day for some type of exercise. If you aren’t much for strenuous workouts, go on a daily
walk or use your stairs to fit in a 10-minute workout.
TWO
KNOW YOUR FAMILY CANCER HISTORY
You might know your mother’s and father’s histories, but find out more about your extended
family as well. Grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins especially. Five to 10 percent of all
cancers are hereditary, according to the National Cancer Institute. It is important to recognize
that abnormal genes can cause multiple different cancers, so remember to look at all cancer
history, not just that of breast cancer.
THREE
SkinMatters
LIMIT ALCOHOL
This might be an unpopular tip for you wine lovers out there, but according to
the National Institute of Health, indulging in three or more alcoholic drinks per
day increases your risk 1.5 times compared to someone who does not drink.We
are not saying, go cold turkey! Trust us, we love vino, too. Go ahead, enjoy a
cocktail with dinner, but limit the amount you drink on a regular basis.
FOUR
Eat Good Food for your Body
There is so much research supporting that a healthy diet can prevent so many
diseases, cancer included. Your risk of cancer is lower if you follow a diet full of
vegetables and fruits. The American Cancer Society suggests 2.5 cups of fruit
and veggies each day. Carotenoids and cruciferous vegetables are both said to
contain nutrients that curb cancer’s growth. But what are they? It is a safe bet if
you see a vibrantly colored fruit or veggie, it contains carotenoids because that is
what creates the vivid pigment. Cruciferous veggies are a more diverse group
but cauliflower, broccoli, bok choy and brussel sprouts will give you a good start!
It is so easy in the current culture to eat food that negatively affects health. The
power of a healthy diet can do incredible things for your body and your mind!
Besides, do not forget, you are worth it!
FIVE
SCREENINGS
Screening for breast cancer with mammograms is recommended beginning at
50 (sometimes 40 if at higher risk). Your OBGYN is best suited to evaluate your
risk for breast cancer and will tailor your screening plan accordingly.
SIX
Breastfeed your Babies
Surprise, breastfeeding is best for your health, too!
If you are in the child-rearing stage of life, pay
attention! Women who breastfeed consistently for
the first six months of their baby’s life have a
significantly reduced risk of breast cancer.
How can this be? A woman typically does not
menstruate while breastfeeding, which lowers the
number of cycles in her lifetime and the amount of
estrogen in her body, too.
Taking care of yourself starts with simple steps,
but it can affect your long-term health.
Follow the above tips and talk to your doctor
about additional ways to prevent breast cancer.
When all else fails, early detection is the key to
treating and living a full life. Remember those
monthly breast exams and make time for a yearly
visit with your OBGYN. Please share this article
with other women you care about!
