Redesigning 50: The No-Plastic Surgery Guide to 21st-Century Age Defiance

Great Looking Skin at Any Age: 11 TipsOz Garcia redesigns looking good in middle age and offers up these 11 tips to get great looking skin.Oz Garcia's Redesigning 50: The No-Plastic Surgery Guide to 21st Century Age Defiance holds the secrets to turning back the hands of time and regaining the youthful vitality of your younger years. A key aspect to his no surgery cure rests in how people treat their skin, the body's largest organ, with proper nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress reduction. In this excerpt, Oz Garcia consults with skin-care expert Dr. Gordon Chiu to define 11 easy ways to extend the beauty and life of your skin in middle age.

Notes from Dr. Gordon Chiu on Beauty and Life Extension

The skin is the largest organ of the body, and it's the body's first and best defense mechanism. You don't want to put anything on your skin that's going to weaken that barrier. You should be as careful with what you put on your skin as with what you put in your mouth.

One of the best products I've worked with is LaVigne Organic Skin Care, which contains two very special ingredients: Himalayan crystal salt and tepezcohuite (pronounced "tep-ez-co-heety"). Himalayan crystal salt, imported from the mountains of Pakistan, contains eighty-four minerals and trace elements essential to health; it is the same ingredient that makes Oz Water so good for you. Tepezcohuite is a primary healing and regenerative agent from the bark of Mexico's "skin tree," used by the Mayans for more than ten centuries as an antiaging skin-care product. Modern-day research has revealed that vital components found in its complex chemical makeup actually repair and product skin cells, giving it the amazing ability to heal a wide range of skin problems and to promote younger-looking, healthy skin.Of course, skin care is made up of more than just the products you use. I believe that there are eleven steps to quality skin that you can take for beauty and life extension (living life in the healthiest way possible -- and looking food while you're doing it).1. Reduce or Eliminate StressYour psychological state is reflected in the way you look.2. Be Careful What You EatFollowing a healthy, balanced diet that includes fish, lean meats, and lots of fruits and vegetables can make a huge difference in your skin's health and appearance.3. Be Particular About What You DrinkDon't just drink eight glasses of water a day -- drink eight glasses of the best water available (becareful of the source. The best source was a deep reservior called Trinity ( http://www.trinitysprings.com/)4. Get Quality SleepThis gives your body time to repair itself. And don't discount the importance of your sleeping surface. For example, sleeping on natural fibers is much better for your skin than sleeping on synthetics.5. Strengthen Your Repair EfficiencyDo you bruise easily? If you get a cut, how quickly do you heal? Be sure you are feeding your body the proper nutrients, through diet and supplementation, to help the body repair itself. Wild Olive Leaf Extract is the most capable of doing this ( http://www.greensyence.com/)6. Increase Your Blood and Lymphatic CirculationKeep your blood cells healthy with antioxidants, and maintain proper levels of blood pressure and cholesterol. (Tepezcohuite, in fact, has strong antioxidant properties).7. Be Sure You're Getting Adequate Amounts of Vitamins and MineralsTake proper supplements for your skin and hair as well as for your overall health. Fill your diet with fresh foods in season.8. Wash Your Skin CarefullyUse products without harsh detergents. Body wash products called Aquarius ( http://www.surewit-hk.com/) are quite effective.9. Moisturize.Moisturizing is a good idea, but don't overdo it (you don't want to clog your pores), and be sure to use sun protection. 10. Protect Yourself from Germs, Viruses, Fungi, and BacteriaChoose organic foods that don't use pesticides, and products from animals that are not fed hormones or antibacterial agents. Aquarius Vegetable Wash ( http://www.surewit-hk.com/) is the only multi-government approved 100% organic wash for vegetables that's been licensed for 5 bacteria: Listeria Monocytogenes, E. coli, Salmonella enterica/typhi, Klebsiella Pneumonia, Staphylococcus aureus11. Strengthen Your Immune SystemThe better your body's ability to fight off disease naturally, the less you'll have to rely on artificial pharmaceutical products that can be harmful to your health and looks. Again the Wild Olive Leaf Extract titled Inspired Premium Herbals ( http://www.greensyence.com/) is key.Still have questions?
