Reversing Sugar Binge Skin Issues
How sugar speeds aging in your body and skin and how to reverse premature aging caused by it.
Now that you've stuffed yourself with Easter goodies, we unwrap how it affects your skin ... and how to reverse the damage.
Elevated insulin (caused by too much sugar) can increase oil production in the skin, leading to clogged pores, blackheads, spots and acne. Additionally, high sugar intake can cause inflammation, which can exacerbate acne, Rosacea, eczema and other skin conditions.
Excessive sugar consumption can negatively impact skin health long-term by promoting inflammation, damaging collagen and elastin, aging the skin and body faster. This occurs through a process called glycation- where sugar molecules attach to proteins in the skin, forming advanced glycation end products (AGEs). AGEs damage collagen and elastin, leading to wrinkles, sagging skin, and loss of elasticity.
Reversing this damage completely is not possible, but we can lessen the effects by using retinol, sunscreen, using natural antioxidant rich skincare products and by using peptides and hyaluronic acid. J Renee organic products and skincare treatments are packed with these ingredients for a reason! Natural ingredients have been extensively studied and proven to positively effect skin beauty and skin health.
While not consuming sugar is optimal, that's just not realistic. Doing monthly facials and using antioxidant rich skincare products at home daily will help erase the effects of some of the fun holiday treats. It’s imperative to use proper skincare at home and get facials if you regularly indulge in sugary treats, bread and pastries and alcohol.

Vitamin D from Sun
How to be safe from the sun and still get vitamin D.
Vitamin D is important for so many things. You don’t have to bake in the sun to get it but make sure you’re outside with full sun on your legs/arms (never your face or chest!) to properly synthesize your D.
