The One Food An Inflammation Expert Eats Daily

January 17, 2018 by debbiedavis

Chronic inflammation will wreak havoc on your body, both inside and out. The good news is, you can reverse it, and it starts with what you eat. I’m a firm believer in giving my body the absolute best tools to work with, so I eat plenty of organic vegetables, quality proteins, and healthy fats. One of my top priorities is to prevent chronic inflammation, so my diet includes a daily dose of collagen.

Collagen may seem like an unlikely tool in the battle against inflammation, but it’s one of the best ways to keep your body from being in a constant inflammatory state. Collagen’s anti-inflammatory powers come from the role that it plays in our gut health. A healthy gut can reduce inflammation throughout the whole body. The ability of collagen to help restore balance to our digestive tract makes it a major player in the fight against inflammation. READ MORE

TOGETHER. Shaping The Future of Your Skin!

January 9, 2018 by debbiedavis

Happy 2018!!!!

I want to thank you for being a Sleekskin friend and client and wish you the very BEST in the coming year! With the holiday bustle behind us, I would like to ask you, do you want to be the BEST version of yourself this year? Have you set your “intentions” in that direction? Let me help you get there! You can start by calling to set a complimentary appointment (#480-315-1364) to develop your skin care and healthy aging plan. This could mean finding a treatment facial Within your budget that will take your skin to its “happy place”. I will suggest the best products for home care (this is 80% of what your skin looks like!) again, with your budget in mind.

This year I have introduced the VERY popular Oxygen Treatment to my facials- you can add this in to any facial for $40.00! My Oxygen Refresh Facial Special is now $80.00 and also includes exfoliation, facial massage, and really gives deep pore cleansing. It supports cellular repair, vitality, and gives a plump radiance to the complexion. Mounting research shows that the high level of pollution and particulates in our air penetrate the skin causing “inflamm-aging,” pigmentation, and cancerous changes. This technology added to your facial helps reduce and repair the damaging effects of our environment!

The addition of my Celluma LED Light Therapy and Micro current treatments to the above described facial has been OUTSTANDING and most requested at Sleekskin. This facial is called the Glow & Lift and is available for $170.00. It is about 90 minutes and clients have been raving about the results for toning, lifting, and plumping their skin!

Winter Skin “Shoulds”

Dry, dehydrated skin often plagues us in the winter months. Drinking your water and other non-caffeinated and non-alcoholic drinks is just as important now! I tell my clients to exfoliate once a week with the Sleekskin Hibiscus Microderm Scrub to help “clear the decks” of dead cells so that their skin care products penetrate with maximum efficacy and their own natural moisture can make its way to the top layers. Applying serums and moisturizers twice daily are a superior way to keep skin hydrated and smooth. My Sleekskin Factor 10 and Telomere Intensive Moisture Creams contain some of the MOST advanced ingredients to increase skin moisture levels, brighten, firm , and slow the rate of cellular aging . If you call by the end of January, I will extend the 20% off sale that was going on through the holidays. Give us a call today #480-315-136

The Eyesicle Effect

I always like to come up with new ways to delight and ignite positive changes in your skin. Lately, I’ve been using my cool blue glassglobes to finish my treatments around the eyes and face. These globes cool, lift, and firm the skin and pores at the end of the facial. I still use many hot towels scented with natural aromatherapy oils to cleanse and comfort your face (many therapists simply use sponges now), and I know that this “Fire & Ice” effect not only feels amazing, but has a very healthy effect on circulation and even well-being!

If you have not had a facial in awhile, put it into your ‘Life Plan”. You will say, as many do,”why don’t I treat myself more often?” The most rewarding part of my profession is seeing the peace and radiance of people when they leave feeling and looking so much better than when they arrived!

Radiant Skin From Within

Post Holiday Detoxing is on everyone’s mind this month, but this doesn’t have to include harsh colon-cleansing and fasting! Here is a list of foods that play a big role in optimizing detoxification;

1) Sulfur-rich foods like eggs, garlic and onions to boost healthy glutathione levels

2) Beets help cleanse the blood and boost fiber for healthy elimination

3) Leafy greens to supply alkalizing minerals and chlorophyll to help remove toxins

4) Bone broth and collagen powders contain glycine to move toxins out of the body

5) Herbs & spices like turmeric, ginger, oregano, cilantro, fennel, licorice, and cayenne help control inflammation and gently detox the blood and gut.

6) Fermented foods like yogurt, kefir, and kombucha contain probiotics to promote healthy gut flora.

7) Warm lemon water first thing in the morning cleanses the liver and bowels

Perfect Winter Latte

8 oz. pure canned coconut milk

1 tsp. ground turmeric

1 T. collagen powder (I use Derma Matrix powder from Sprouts)

2 T. water

1 pinch of ground black pepper

1 pinch of ground cinnamon, ginger, and Pink Himalayan sea salt

*I like to add stevia or coconut sugar to sweeten

The Plant-Based Superfood You Should Be Eating Daily For Glowing Skin

December 26, 2017 by debbiedavis

You might already know tahini as an ingredient in hummus, but did you know it’s great for everything from promoting better digestion to getting a good dose of plant-based protein to improving skin health and giving you that healthy glow?

Tahini is a paste made from ground sesame seeds (think the sesame seed version of peanut butter) and is full of copper, zinc, iron, calcium, magnesium, B1, selenium, fiber, and protein. It’s one of my favorite foods, so naturally it pops up in my new cookbook, The New Nourishing, a lot. One of the reasons I love it is that it’s so versatile—it goes with both sweet and savory flavors, adds low-key nutty and bitter flavors, and brings lush, creamy textures to sauces, dips, and spreads. I use it on baked pears and socca pancakes as the base for a creamy maple cinnamon sauce; as a spread for toast with fresh figs and honey; in salad dressings of all kinds (creamy chipotle, herby ranch, and tangy miso-lemon); and in hummus, of course.

6 Reasons To Refill Your Water Bottle Right Now

December 18, 2017 by debbiedavis

All of us know—at least in a vague sense—that drinking water is important. The adult body is, on average, made up of 60 to 70 percent water. Fueling up with H2O throughout the day is essential, but life gets in the way, and one study found that 43 percent of adults drink less than four cups per day sipping on coffee instead or forgoing liquids altogether.

Here’s the thing, though: Often all it takes to drink more water is finding a water bottle you love. Plus, there are a lot of reasons to drink water, and they’re not always as obvious as you might expect. Here are six reasons to drink more water that you haven’t heard of yet… READ MORE
