What Your Skin is Telling You?

I would like to show you what happens to our skin as we start aging.

Beauty Through the Ages

What you can expect

40’s - Forties

• Lines and wrinkles become more apparent • Blotching and forehead furrows appears • Chin may start to droop • Creeping on the neck begins

50’s - Fifties

• Menopause and its changing hormones take its toll on skin with its slacking jaw line and furthering of the creeping. • Skin Color begins to fade a bit • Age Spots begin to appear

60’s - Sixties

• Overall dryness begin to appear on cheeks. • Bones can shrink, increasing slackness of skin. • Skin thins, which allows capillaries and redness to show through.

70’s Seventies

• Skin looses elasticity and interloping wrinkles can give the face a road map appearance.

Don’t be discouraged when reading the above!!

These events that seem to be an eventuality of life are no longer an absolute destiny of the events of aging and its effect on the skin’s appearance. Of course it’s always better to begin taking care of your skin early in life.

4 things you can do to combat the aging of skin

1) Know your skin type and recognize that what characteristics your skin shows today.

2) Change your skin regiment as you see your skin changing. Seasons bring changes, even in your skin. Fall weather might require a deeper moisturizer.

3) Add the must-have products to your basic skincare: cleanser, freshener, moisturizer and masking routine and you will see a healthier, stronger, smoother and more radiant skin very quickly.

4) Think "System" instead of "Product" Do not believe that a single product, no matter how expensive, will do everything for your skin. It’s like eating peanut butter 24/7. When it comes to having healthy skin, improve your skin problems first and follow through with your basic skin care products.

Here is an excerpt from my 2 favorite doctors (Mehmet Oz and Mike Roizen)

“In reality, healthy skin is nature's ultimate cosmetic”. (From You Docs/ArcaMax)

At Keiko’s Ageless Beauty Image Studio we strive to help create healthy radiant skin with the best skincare products available. See my skincare products at ww.keikocouch.com. After all, smooth skin is beautiful skin. My mantra about the skin is that when your canvas is smooth and bright you need very little makeup and don’t have to cover with thick makeup. This means you will create a natural bright face, and you will appear much younger and vibrant.

"Keiko, you remember how my neck used to look? You taught me to mask my neck and just look at it now! I can’t thank you enough for your suggestions.” Linda R.

5 Tips for Feeling Better

This is for all women!

5 Tips for Feeling Better

As many of you know October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. If you or someone you know is working toward a cancer-free life, they are most likely undergoing treatment that can be taxing on the body—both inside and out. Here are five tips to make life easier during this challenging time.

1. Only wear what you love. Don’t underestimate how looking good can make you feel good. Dress with pride when going to doctor’s appointments. You’re taken seriously, remembered, and treated with greater respect when you show up looking like you respect yourself!

2. Bring a brand new color into your wardrobe. Life is in shakeup mode, so shake up your wardrobe by bringing in some colors that you love and maybe haven’t worn yet. Try pink, purple, lilac, turquoise, teal, or leaf green. Choose colors that feel energizing, hopeful and uplifting to you. The people around you will also enjoy the positive energy these colors bring.

3. Special jewelry pieces can be talismans for good health. Some people like to wear a necklace passed down to them by a favorite grandmother or aunt. Others like to wear a butterfly brooch that symbolizes new birth. Pick a piece of jewelry and keep it close to you or wear it. Let the warm feelings you get from your symbolic piece soothe and comfort you on an as-needed basis.

4. Control what you can. Often a health crisis can come right out of the blue and make your life feel suddenly out of control. Now is the time to focus on what you can control. You can control what’s around you. Eliminate any unwanted clutter from your life. Edit out everything that’s not useful or beautiful to you—old photos, chipped dishes, broken appliances. Surround yourself only with the things that bring you pleasure. Move toward the people and things that make you happy.

5. Keep a gratitude journal. These are great for anybody but especially now, when you could be focused on all the things you don’t like, you need a place where you can focus on the things you do like. At the end of the day, write down ten things you are grateful for. Knowing you’re going to be writing ten things each night will keep you focused during the day on moments of grace, pleasant surprises and simple pleasures. That journal could be an everyday welcome friend. One of my clients does the journalling every morning and she is so positive.

Please let me know if you or your group know of hospitals/clinics which can contact me for the above seminar. I will personally show the healing colors and show how to tie the perfect scarf for the head.
