Summer can be tough on the skin. Sun exposure, lots of travel and endless late nights with too much rose can lead to looking a little tired come Labor Day. But fear not, this does not doom you to a dull complexion for all of the fall months. On the contrary, seasons changing is the right time to switch up your routine, incorporate new products and maximize your summer glow from the inside out.
Everyone in LA knows that Le Jolie Medi Spa is the hotspot for those in the know. The treatments are some of the best in LA and Le Jolie has the clientele to prove it. Dr. Parvaneh Rafaeloff told us that post-summer, Le Jolie sees an influx of “sun damage, sunburns, sensitive skin and hyperpigmentation,” and that the best way to soothe post-summer skin is a “hydrating facial or our hyperbaric oxygen facial to really get your skin back to its optimal glow!” Dr. Rafaeloff also reminded us to “reapply sunscreen every 2 hours when out in the sun! Have a good skin care regimen to keep you fresh in-between visits.” Finally, Dr. Rafaeloff pointed out that good skin starts from within and to get glowing skin we should double down on vitamin dense foods. “Any foods rich in vitamin c, zinc and vitamin d will help boost your skin’s glow. Amla fruit, avocados and really green vegetables

After a summer of ice creams, do your skin a favor and ditch the sugar with the help of celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak. Pasternak, (who works with Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Robert Downey Jr. and more), recently founded Sweetkick. Pasternak wanted to give people the tools they need to change sugar-steeped eating habits and in totality, address an exponentially growing refined-sugar epidemic, all starting with something as easy as a mint.
With key ingredients Inulin from Chicory root and Indian herb Gymnema Sylvestre that suppress the taste of sweetness in sugary foods, The Reset is a program designed to help kickstart a low-sugar lifestyle by rebuilding healthier habits. The Reset includes powders, mints and Pasternak’s Food Mentor Guide which provides consumers with a list of foods to eat, regulate and avoid to proactively increase healthy fats, proteins and fibers while reducing unnecessary sugars.
