Skin Care Tips for the Month

As we begin to shrug off the heaviness of winter, there’s a sense of coming ease and renewal. We want to experience it in every aspect of our lives including our skin care. From rethinking your diet to paring down your product requirements, here are our suggestions on how to uncomplicate and optimize your spring skin care routine.


1) USE PRODUCTS THAT DO DOUBLE-DUTY.

Simplify your routine with multi-tasking products where ever possible. Green Tea Antioxidant Cleanser is an over-achiever that actually does triple-duty as a facial cleanser, body wash, and shampoo all-in-one. For skin, it’s antioxidant and anti-inflammatory to support a healthy skin barrier and protect against UV and environmental stressors. For hair and scalp, it’s gentle, sebum-reducing, and will bring the shine.

Day Treatment Lotion SPF 15 is a light, non-greasy, non-comedogenic moisturizer and sun protection in one. Use it in the morning to hydrate and protect from UV radiation. Apply serums first and allow to dry before applying Day Treatment Lotion.

2) GIVE YOUR ROUTINE A REORG.

A change in seasons is the perfect time to take stock of your skin care routine and make sure you’re using the right products. It may be time to swap heavier moisturizes for lighter ones like Totaloe Calming and Hydrating Gel or Allantoin Sedating and Hydrating Lotion, both healing, calming, and feather light.

Likewise, it might be time for a toner with a little more muscle to keep up with skin acclimating to a more humid environment. Normalizing Tonic or Mandelic Acid 3-in-1 Toner will deliver the refining and clarifying boost skin needs now.

3) TAKE TIME FOR SELF-CARE.

A little yoga, some afternoon green tea breaks, the occasional nap, your favorite song, and some at-home spa treatments on the reg will improve your skin and your outlook. Tuck into an Algae Soft Mask for a restorative detox. Concentrated marine minerals, amino acids, sea protein, and polysaccharides nourish and renew skin above and below the surface leaving skin radiantly soft and smooth.

4) UP YOUR EXFOLIATION GAME.

Dry winter air can cause skin cells to die faster resulting in a buildup of dead skin cells. Shed winter dullness and get back your glow with some exfoliation. Use a rejuvenating scrub a few times a week to physically slough away the cellular debris making skin look tired. Antioxidant and brightening Mandelic Acid 3-In-1Exfoliating Cleanser defends against acne, signs of aging and irregular pigmentation. For a cell metabolism booster, work in an acid-based corrective serum. Mandelic Acid 8% 3-In-1 Serum is a good choice for all skin types for gentle exfoliation. For a little more muscle, try Exfol-A, which pairs glycolic acid with vitamin A for the ultimate cell regeneration cocktail.

5) USE A BALM WITH BENEFITS.

Perk up your pout with a softening balm that also defines and volumizes. MaxiLip Plumper has peptides to stimulate collagen and elastin production, plus oxygenating ingredients increase blood flow to promote a natural, rosy hue. Fuller, smoother, softer and more perfectly defined lips in a compact, go-anywhere stick.

6) IMPROVE YOUR SLEEP SCHEDULE.

Good sleep is critical to healthy skin. Maximize your body’s natural repair cycle by giving your sleep routine a revamp. Shoot for eight hours a night, sleeping and waking at consistent times. Adjust your activities, dim your devices, lighten your thoughts. For more tips, see our recent blog on sleep strategies.

7) WHAT ARE YOU EATING?

Spring is coming, and that means the farmer’s markets are going to be full of tender, healthy fruits and veg. Now’s the time to upgrade your diet. Plenty of plant-based antioxidant loaded produces. Remember the brighter or darker the color, the greater the antioxidant quotient. Eat more nuts for healthy fats and minerals. Avocados and salmon for omega 3s. Avoid the sugars, carbs, white rice and pasta that add raise your blood sugar and trigger protein-damaging glycation.

😎 GET OUTSIDE.

As the weather warms up, it’s a great time to get outside and get some fresh air and exercise. Increased circulation gets more oxygen and nutrients to the skin, which improves your glow, decreases inflammation, and helps get toxins and impurities to the surface. Just be sure to wear sunscreen and a hat while you’re out and reapply sunscreen after sweating or swimming. Shower with Green Tea Antioxidant Cleanser to remove dirt, sweat, and oil after exercise.

Proper skin care is not only about looking good, but it’s also about staying healthy. Poor skin care habits can lead to rashes, sores, acne and wrinkles and skin that tends to be more susceptible to disease, infection, and scarring after an injury. These are just 10 skin care tips that you may want to follow. But the fact of the matter is that there are many things you can to keep your skin in tip-top condition.

If you have sensitive skin and don't know what products will work with your skin or it would best to consult a dermatologist to avoid complications. I recommend Dr. Jhin at Premier Dermatology in San Carlos. Call them today at 650 551 9700.

RECIPE OF THE MONTH
Stir-fried Chicken, Black Mushrooms,
Bamboo Shoots and Spinach
“One of my all-time favorite Chinese dishes is stir-fried black mushrooms and bamboo shoots on a bed of spinach. Since one of the ingredients is chicken, it was easy to incorporate chicken pieces into this recipe. I suggest serving this tasty Asian dish with white rice, Chinese tea, and fortune cookies.”



Ingredients
12 -16 small shiitake mushrooms, soaked and cut in half
10 ounces fresh spinach, washed and chopped
8 tablespoons peanut oil (substitute vegetable oil)
3 garlic cloves, chopped

2 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce

1⁄4 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon ginger, chopped
5 ounces bamboo shoots (8oz. tin, Companion Brand Half and Chunk in Water)
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1⁄4cup cashews (not raw, not salted)

Directions

Place the sh*take/black mushrooms in a bowl and fill to the top with medium-hot water; Use a dish to cover in order to keep the mushrooms submerged in the water; soak for 30 minutes (turn after 15 minutes); Next drain and squeeze excess water from mushrooms; Then cut away the stem and cut each mushroom in half; Set aside.
Place chicken pieces in a bowl, add 1 teaspoon cornstarch, 2 teaspoons soy sauce, 2 teaspoons red vinegar and 1 tablespoon oil…stir; Set aside.
In a cup add 1/3 stock, 1 tablespoon light soy sauce, 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce, 2 tablespoons oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon wine, 1/4 teaspoon sugar…stir; set aside.
Dissolve in a cup 2 tablespoons stock and 1 tablespoon cornstarch, stir; Set aside.
Cut up bamboo shoots into bite-size pieces; set aside.
In a wok add 2 tablespoons oil, 1 teaspoon salt and 2 cloves chopped garlic, stir-fry for 30 seconds; Next, add the chopped spinach; Stir-fry for about 3+ minutes until al dente; Drain, squeeze out some of the liquid from the spinach; Place on a serving plate and keep warm.
In a wok add 2 tablespoons oil, 1 chopped garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds; Then add the chicken pieces; Stir-fry for about 3-5 minutes until the chicken is thoroughly cooked but not overcooked (stir often); Add cashews, stir briefly, then remove to a bowl and set aside.
In a clean wok add 2 tablespoons oil, then 1 tablespoon chopped ginger and stir-fry 30 seconds; Next add the sh*take mushrooms and stir-fry for about 1-2 minutes (add a little stock if needed); Next add the bamboo shoots and stir-fry another minute; Add Preparation "C" soy sauce and oyster sauce liquid, stir occasionally and cook for about 2-3 minutes.
Mix cornstarch and stock once again and add a small amount "As Required" (not all) until you have a thick coating on the mushrooms & bamboo shoots (That is, not a liquid sauce).
Add the cooked chicken pieces & cashews and blend together for about 1 minute.
Add 1 tablespoon sesame oil and then one quick stir.
Place the chicken, mushrooms and bamboo shoots on top of the bed of spinach.

Book of the Month



The Imperfectionist: a novel
by Tom Rachman

Fifty years and many changes have ensued since the paper was founded by an enigmatic millionaire, and now, amid the stained carpeting and dingy office furniture, the staff’s personal dramas seem far more important than the daily headlines. Kathleen, the imperious editor in chief, is smarting from a betrayal in her open marriage; Arthur, the lazy obituary writer, is transformed by a personal tragedy; Abby, the embattled financial officer, discovers that her job cuts and her love life are intertwined in a most unexpected way. Out in the field, a veteran Paris freelancer goes to desperate lengths for his next byline, while the new Cairo stringer is mercilessly manipulated by an outrageous war correspondent with an outsize ego. And in the shadows is the isolated young publisher who pays more attention to his prized basset hound, Schopenhauer, than to the fate of his family’s quirky newspaper.

As the era of print news gives way to the Internet age and this imperfect crew stumbles toward an uncertain future, the paper’s rich history is revealed, including the surprising truth about its founder’s intentions.

Spirited, moving, and highly original, The Imperfectionists will establish Tom Rachman as one of our most perceptive, assured literary talents.
-----
From the author of The Italian Teacher, this acclaimed debut novel set in Rome follows the topsy-turvy lives of the denizens of an English language newspaper.

BOOK OF THE MONTH:


The Girl On The Train

Paula Hawkins


The Girl on The Train

The “girl on the train” is Rachel, who commutes into London and back each day, rolling past the backyard of a happy-looking couple she names Jess and Jason. Then one day Rachel sees “Jess” kissing another man. The day after that, Jess goes missing. The story is told from three character’s not-to-be-trusted perspectives: Rachel, who mourns the loss of her former life with the help of canned gin and tonics; Megan (aka Jess); and Anna, Rachel’s ex-husband’s wife, who happens to be Jess/Megan’s neighbor. Rachel’s voyeuristic yearning for the seemingly idyllic life of Jess and Jason lures her closer and closer to the investigation into Jess/Megan’s disappearance, and closer to a deeper understanding of who she really is. And who she isn’t.
