How To Reactivate The Youth Metabolism Of Your Skin

When we want to get fit and in shape, we have to get our metabolism working again. Metabolism simply means turning food into energy, instead of turning it into fat. 

The best way to activate your metabolism is by activating muscle.  Activated muscle helps to turn on your youth hormones. 

For example, activated muscle helps to produce growth hormone, naturally.  Things like running, jumping, tennis, lifting, sauna, cold plunge and Power Plate/vibration therapy all help to produce growth hormone. 

Growth hormone helps to produce more collagen inside your body.  More collagen means your joints will work and feel better. More collagen also means firmer more youthful skin.

When you combine muscle activation with the highest quality skin care ingredients, you have a proven formula to reactivate the "youth metabolism" of your skin.

SMOOTH contains the best ingredients to help active and proactive people get their skin looking and feeling great. 

If you think that paying a lot of money is the way to get your skin looking great, please read this as carefully as you can. And please click the live chat button on the bottom right of this page to ask us any questions directly.

-SMOOTH has multiple multi-function ingredients. This formula does a lot to help your skin work better, naturally. Instead of a “frozen in place” appearance, you look healthy and active. Our goal with SMOOTH is to help you look the best you possibly can, at whatever age you are.

Benefits Summary:

-As we get older, the muscles in our face relax less quickly. About 50% less quickly. The skin follows the muscle. So, as we smile, frown, squint, etc these movements start to become permanent.  Expression winkles begin to form. This starts in our 30’s.  Instead of freezing your muscles in place with repeated injections, one can relax the muscles, which relaxes the skin.   PhD Organic Chemists from Barcelona, Spain have led the effort with this “green” and organic method and continue to improve it.  

-This particular technology is part of an emerging megatrend in skin care.  It leads to a more natural look, and is part of a set of ingredients which help make all the cells in the top layers of your skin work more quickly.  Not as fast as young skin, but fast enough for you and others to see.

-This helps with things like Crows feet, lines of the forehead and around the mouth area. Feel free to smile and express your emotions, naturally.

-Reverse the “Senescence Cascade.”   Senescence is a fancy term for aging. With our skin, this means our cells lose power to divide, grow and function well.  SMOOTH contains natural ingredients which help to directly feed and nourish the skin cells.  Your skin is programmed and “retrained” to work better.  Just like you can reprogram your brain to work better, you can reprogram your skin to work better. (Neuroplasticty for the skin.)

-The active ingredients in SMOOTH help impact all layers of your skin.  This extends from the skin barrier layer, down through the collagen layer, the fat layer, to the muscles below.  This is a simplification, but those are the main layers of your skin that SMOOTH helps.  

-Impactful exercise and strong eating habits help to feed your skin from below.  SMOOTH is the perfect partner for active people who try to eat well.  Over the years, we have found that people who are active physically and mentally love our approach to skin care. 

For example, if you play tennis, lift weights, run, Sauna, use a Power Plate—- these are all activities which help to create signals for your body to work at peak level.  The difference between a “cardio only” approach and a “muscle focused” exercise approach is MASSIVE.   (More on this later, but the key point is activated muscle = better looking skin)

-Multiple ingredients in SMOOTH help to decrease skin surface roughness. Visible effects start in 5 days, and continue to build with daily use.

-When the skin barrier functionality is rebuilt/reprogrammed, the ability of your skin to protect you increases.  For example, one ingredient in SMOOTH helps to speed up healing of skin wounds by more than 100% within 2 days.  This one ingredient is so powerful it is used in other formulas dedicated to healing skin wounds.

-SMOOTH helps to soothe.  Tests done on people with laser dermabrasion showed that redness and water loss was visibly improved in just 2 days.

-When your skin barrier function is improved, your skins ability to retain hydration is significantly improved. In just 2 weeks the measured hydration in the skin can improve up to 50%.

-Hydrated, soothed and recovered skin is SMOOTH skin!

-SMOOTH helps to rebuild the collagen layer of your skin, significantly. Collagen is eroded by aging, excessive sugar and alcohol and the sun. SMOOTH helps to balance this natural collagen loss out, and then helps to rebuild collagen.  Think of you skin as having a “metabolism.”  SMOOTH helps to restore your skins “youth metabolism.”  

-Why is collagen so important in skin care? More collagen = improved skin density.  More collagen = Reduced wrinkle depth by 40% in 2 months.

-SMOOTH contains high impact botanical extracts. For example, Coffee seed extract helps with dark circles around the eyes, helps prevent skin cancer, and also helps to reduce cellulite.  (SMOOTH used with TONED on different parts of the body can be a HIGHLY effective daily routine.

-SMOOTH contains the most powerful and stable form of Vitamin C currently on the market. This particular form of vitamin C helps boost collagen production 50% more than than regular Vitamin C.  This particular ingredient is powerful enough to help fight acne, dark spots and MMP enzymes.  When you block the MMP enzymes, you prevent the sun from degrading the collagen in your skin. This allows you to enjoy the many health and mood promoting benefits of the sun!

Do Common Skin Care Products Make Your Face or Eyes Itch? Three Ideas That Might Help

Are you someone who has "sensitive" skin?  Especially on your face and eyes? As someone who has been dealing with this, I have 3 specific tips.  Especially for those of us who are moms and/or grandmothers.

1) Anti-aging products in particular are designed for maximum impact.  20% Vitamin C Serum, and strong Retinol formulas.  These work, and are among the most recommended products by dermatologists.  But for many, they irritate the skin for many days after use.  Many people don't like that or want to do that.

This is a common problem.  The solution is to understand that are a lot of new and very effective ingredients out that to help all layers of your skin renew, rebuild and refresh. These ingredients also work together to accomplish the same goals as the harsh serums, but without the unpleasant side effects. 

For example, if you combine lower doses of Vitamins A, C and E, with newer peptides and new plant extracts you can experience zero irritation when you put it on your face. And the results can actually be better, long term.  It's a shift in philosophy. We all want firmer skin that looks shiny and new.  There's a lot out there that can help the most sensitive skin.

Over the years I've done a lot of work on TV. I never had time to "let my face heal".  Now, thanks to zoom and facetime, we are all on TV!!  Lol.

So I've always been looking for interesting tricks and tips. We built Skin Beautiful MD around this idea of sharing what I have learned and making some products that are easy to use and buy. And work. 

==>>Our newest product is a new "Retinol for the most sensitive skin."  The quick science is that it tells the genes in your skin to produce new skin more quickly.  But it does this without the burn and irritation.  It also adds some modern ideas taken from Integrative Medicine. For example, we add CoQ10 which helps to product more ATP and Mitochondria in your cells.  (Helps the skin become shiny and new!)   

The only downside to this modern approach to skin care is that there is a lot to learn.  Even the MD's we work with learn new things from us to use for their patients!   Join our email list for information overload.

2) A diet tip is to find a plan that helps balance out your hormones.  This is a big problem that throws "curveballs" at many of us. As someone who has written a major diet book, the last thing I want to do is debate nutrition or diet.  It's subjective.  Full carnivore diet might work for one person, full plant-based might work for another.  For me, the work of Dr. Joel Fuhrman is something I keep coming back to.  His focus is on micronutrient dense plants, berries and beans.  I usually add a little meat an fish, but for me, this works.  Key words "for me."   But you want to definitely keep the sugar, alcohol etc in check so the hormones don't freak out. 

3) Exercise.  I hate the gym.  I always have, which is why I spent so much time on my diet. (If you want to see my diet book, google me, tons of stuff will show up.)  But as I have gotten older I'm doing 2 things that help the skin. (I'll show you the science that proves this.)  

The first is more walking. I walk at least 3 miles a day.  Walking regulates CORTISOL which is a primary hormone and a stress hormone.  Cortisol is the ENEMY of collagen and elastin. 

Second is more intense exercise.  I don't go to the gym. I turn on my Power Plate. It's a machine that you step on and turn on. It sends out vibrations that activate your muscles 1200 times every 30 seconds.  This intense series of "energy" is so powerful that it forces your muscles and bones to produce new growth hormone, collagen, and helps regulate cortisol to a crazy degree.

I became such a big fan of the Power Plate that I now help run the company as their Chief Commercial Officer.  (look me up on LinkedIN if you want to learn more about my work in this area.) 

A lot of stress busting walking, plus 10 minutes a day on my Power Plate. (this is the one I have at home). Plus my skin care line.  Plus a ton of veggies.  This is my formula, and also my work! 

Questions? please reply to ANY of our emails.  I have so many interesting conversations with people and get inspired each time.  This post about hormones and sensitive skin came from a question from a new customer.

Do you know how good Retinol is, but don't want your face to burn?

Several months ago we sent out a note asking if you would like a "retinol serum that does not burn."  

The answer was an overwhelming yes.  Today we are launching Retinoid RenewX, which provides all the powerful benefits of Retinol but without the common negative side effects.  

Use the TRY code at checkout to save 50% during this pre-order campaign.  

This product is designed for those of you who already love the Skin Beautiful MD line. It is also designed for people who use and love Retinol but don't love the side effects.

It can be used daily, and everywhere on the body.

Skin Beautiful MD takes a modern approach to skin renewal.  There are new active ingredients which renew the skin by "feeding" it powerful nutrients.  This means one no longer needs to aggressively "strip away" the skin with serums that burn or procedures that are costly and invasive.

==>> Retinoids are a group of chemical compounds related to Vitamin A. They are the #1 dermatologist recommend ingredients because of their unique ability to heal, renew, exfoliate the skin. They are highly effective at wrinkle reduction as well.  The problem has been that Retinol has the tendency to burn the skin.  This formula solves that problem in a very unique way.


Retinoid RenewX is a new serum from Skin Beautiful MD that helps to effectively renew the upper layer of the skin without burning. It accomplishes this by using Bakuchiol which is a powerful plant extract that is new to the skin care world.  

We combine this with a light amount of Retinol that is well tolerated.  These two ingredients work very well together. When you combine this serum with our peptide rich creams, you have a "full skin care stack" of ingredients.  Both the upper and lower layers if your skin get addressed.

Bakuchiol also helps repair acne scars.  Learn about the other ingredients here.   Buy Retinol RenewX here.

How To Target Deep Lines Aroud The Eyes (at any age)

Exposure to the sun at a young age helps to speed up the creation of deep lines around the eyes.   They often appear when we smile.  For many, this is the first place that wrinkles appear. 

Our skin ages as we get older. But sun in particular helps to "activate" enzymes that deplete the collagen in your skin.  This is is why the wrinkles appear around the eyes.  The sun has "zapped" them.  The solution is to fight fire with fire.  You want to tell your skin to build more collagen.  

Intense exercise and certain foods will help.  Certain ingredients that are used in in high performing skin care products can also help a great deal.  For example, extract from Orange Peels developed in Spain has been proven to increase the amount of collagen produced in the skin by around 200%.  

Think about collagen as a "battle" between forces designed to break it down and build it up.  Sun, age and diet all work to break it down.  Ingredients like this help to build it up.   These are "peptides" which means they are very tiny proteins.  They absorb into your skin quickly and get to work.
