Healthy Habits Tip Series – Week #4 Eat More Fiber
Healthy eating habits are extremely important but what does this really mean? We think it’s a lifestyle where you make a time-tested commitment to balance, variety and moderation.
Simply said: it is an everyday commitment to eating a variety of foods from different food groups without getting too many calories or too much of one nutrient.
So, where do you start?
We all know that old habits are hard to break, so start slow. Be realistic with your expectations and make one change a week, rather than trying to change everything at once. Try adopting one nutrition tip a week and incorporate it into your busy lifestyle. Within 2-3 months you will develop healthy eating habits that will last a lifetime…..more energy, better health and beautiful skin are just some of the benefits.
Eat more fiber
High-fiber foods make you feel fuller, take longer to digest and cause a slow, gradual rise in blood sugar. Choose a piece of whole fruit over juice, whole-grain bread instead of white, high-fiber cereal instead of refined sugared cereal. Try to consume at least 20-30 ounces a day. Fiber will also help with lowering your cholesterol levels and regulating bowel movements.

Drink water:
Water will help you to lose weight because it flushes out the waste products your body makes when it breaks down fat for energy or processes protein. Drink at 8-10 glasses of water a day. Use recyclable, environment friendly water containers, glass containers are recommended.

2. Eat breakfast every day
Don’t skip breakfast.
Not only does it jump start your metabolism, it also gives you the energy you need to get through the day. Researchers at Harvard University found that those who ate breakfast every day were 44 per cent less likely to be overweight. Make sure that your breakfast includes fiber and protein. For example: double fiber whole wheat English muffin (8 onz of fiber) and a hard boiled egg.

Week#1
Balance your meals
Eat lean protein, nutrient-rich carbohydrates (whole grains, fruits and vegetables) and non-saturated fats at every meal. The protein helps build and repair muscle; the carbohydrates replenish energy stores without elevating blood sugar; and healthy fats assure your body that there’s more fuel coming in, giving it the OK to burn stored fat. Try to eat your dinner before 6PM.

Exfoliants – A Neccessary Component in Maintaining Healthy Skin
Exfoliants are a necessary component in maintaining skin’s health and protection against the environment. A result of not exfoliating enough can show up as dull skin, poor texture and an increased aged appearance on your skin. Too much exfoliation can result in oversensitive skin. The best recommendation is to create a natural, healthy exfoliation that removes only excess cells while balancing the health of the skin.
At Facelogic we have both chemical and mechanical exfoliants and your therapist will recommend the best product and routine for your skin type. You will see a significant difference in your skins appearance and an increased absorption of the good nutrients from your serum and moisturizer. You will get more benefits from your products and better results for your money.
Some of our best selling exfoliants are: Alpa Beta Daily Face Peel by DG Skincare, Strawberry Rhubarb Dermafoliant with Lactic Acid by Eminence Organic and Daily Macrofoliant from Dermalogica.
Book an appointment today for your skincare consultation and exfoliating facial and we will get you started on the path to gorgeous, healthy, age defying skin.

Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare – Great Skin Revealed
August 10, 2011 by admin
Filed under Blog, Skin Care Products
Dr. Dennis Gross, a New York City dermatologist, has devoted his life to the science of skincare. Skin, the largest organ of the body, is the first to show signs of both external and internal health. During his early years as a dermatologist, Dr. Gross would spend hours “in the field” conducting free skin cancer screenings in and around NYC, educating the public about this life-threatening disease. Through his work on disease prevention, Dr. Gross also saw a need to reverse sun damage, the number one cause of aging and wrinkles.
In his private practice, Dr. Gross witnessed his patients’ quest for beauty and their dissatisfaction with the scope of beauty treatments available to address everything from aging to acne. With chemical peels becoming increasingly popular, he observed a phenomenon he describes as “over-exfoliation.” These peels produced chronic inflammation and sabotaged the beauty and health of his patients’ skin. Determined to improve upon these harsh and ineffective treatments, he formulated the Alpha Beta® Daily Face Peel, a facial peel originally created as a treatment for use on his patients.
In 2002 the MD Skincare, today known as Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare™, products for in-home use officially launched. Here at Facelogic we carry the full line of Dr. Dennis Gross skincare products, peels, washes, moisturizers and more…we truly believe in the products and we have seen amazing results, both with our clients and personally.
Here are just some the cutting edge products we carry from the Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare™ line;

This award-winning 3-in-1 foam cleanses, tones, and removes all makeup, leaving skin radiant. Gentle and nondrying, this antioxidant and anti-inflammatory cleanser penetrates pores to eradicate excess oil and bacteria, which lead to breakouts.

A hydrating treatment with SPF 10 and self-adjusting technology to go where skin needs moisture most, keeps skin healthy, and protects against UVA/UVB rays.
Maximum Moisture Treatment 1.7oz – $54

Lift & Lighten Eye Cream 0.5 oz – $60
An antioxidant-rich eye cream with pearl powder that diminishes dark circles under eyes, discoloration, fine lines, wrinkles, and inflammation around the eyes. Preventative and restorative, this effective, results-oriented formula moisturizes, brightens, lifts, and tightens skin.
