I remember the moment when I realized my face was started to visibly age. I had recently hit 30 when I looked in the mirror one morning to see not one wrinkle but several, ingrained upon my forehead and more obvious than subtle.

Thoughts began to swirl: How long have these been here? How am I just seeing them for the first time? Are they going to get deeper and deeper, worse and worse? All those times I should have worn a hat …

I was being dramatic, yes, but also I was intrigued by what seemed like such a sudden shift. I've always been pretty good about skincare and wearing sunscreen, but a life spent adventuring at altitude — with occasional bouts of "working on my tan" as a teenager —was now showing up as lines on my face.

And then there's the fact of it all: my skin will inevitably age, and so will yours. There is, however, quite a lot we can do to slow the process.

Facial Rejuvenation

"Botox," a friend had told me after her wedding as we were talking about our newfound relationship to wrinkles. "It doesn't last forever, but for this it just made me feel more like me."

I didn't know much about it, but it didn't resonate. I was especially turned off when I learned it was a cosmetic treatment that removes wrinkles by temporarily paralyzing facial muscles. And if you want to keep it going, I heard, you have to keep paralyzing those facial muscles, again and again. They get used to the treatments and don't respond to them as easily. No thanks, I decided.

With my own wedding on the horizon this year, something did catch my attention. It was cosmetic acupuncture, a facial rejuvenation treatment that combines ancient skincare approaches with modern tools and therapies. My curiosity continued to grow until I reached out to Becky Burgess, owner of Vail Valley Wellness in EagleVail.

"The lines on our faces truly tell our stories," said Burgess, who has been studying and practicing Chinese Medicine since 2010. "We don't want to eliminate emotion from our faces with nipping and tucking and filling and plucking, but we do want to help you put your best face forward."

After I learned that cosmetic acupuncture sessions work holistically, invigorating qi (energy) and blood throughout the body and face, while simultaneously focusing on needs of the whole body, I was on board.

"Using strategically placed needles, acupuncture aims to send signals to the body which stimulate collagen and elastin production — both of which diminish as we age," Burgess said. "By treating the whole body, we also work on balancing digestion, hormones and circulation — all factors in signs of aging that unfortunately show up on our face."

My case wasn't the easiest, actually. Younger skin with sun damage like mine doesn't tend to show improvements from these treatments as quickly. Half way through my 12-session introduction, however, I could definitely see the lines on my forehead softening, the tension on my brow releasing and an overall brightness to my face with a little more distinction of my jawline and cheekbones.

I was starting to feel the effects of acupuncture in my whole body as well. It became apparent to me that the twice-weekly visits to Vail Valley Wellness were helping ease stress and anxiety at work. I could feel that life's grips were loosening a little, and I could see it on my face.

"Your face is your best asset," said Burgess. "I love providing skin care that cares about you. It's so fun to watch each person's progression. Helping women in this valley reverse skin discoloration from sun damage, old pockmarked acne scarring for which they have tried everything, including literally lasering their skin off, and lifting, firming, toning and brightening their skin gives me the greatest joy."

And it was a joy for me to have those sessions with Burgess. She is welcoming and sweet, and I began to look forward to my visits to Vail Valley Wellness as a sort of physical and mental therapy. I would share with Burgess any relevant information before each treatment — basically anything that was bothersome or relevant from my day or week that might inform specific needle insertions on my feet and ankles, hands, head, sometimes my belly, and my face.

Enjoy the Process

The needles come first and sit for a while (sometimes paired with a face mask), followed by some amazing facial techniques to complete the treatment.

"When the face is needled, the body sends a wound-healing response to help repair the area of insertion," Burgess said. "The release of collagen is queued and an increase in blood circulation helps reduce inflammation and give your face a natural glow and vitality. Growth signals are sent to skin stem cells to stimulate fibroblasts, which then transform into collagen fibers that integrate with the existing collagen in the skin. This process helps improve the tone, elasticity and vitality of the face, while helping to fill in small lines and wrinkles."

Burgess sometimes employs electrical-stimulation, or e-stim — used modestly in Chinese medicine and commonly during Western sports medicine treatments. She uses it to activate motor points with her cosmetic acupuncture protocol.

"It involves attaching electrical probes to the top of acupuncture needles and running a micro- or macro-current through the circuit," she said. "By eliciting a muscle contraction using electrical impulses, it has been used successfully to encourage muscle strength in the face, which in turn lifts, tones and tightens."

Sometimes Burgess will add LED light therapy to the facial region during acupuncture. Using near-infrared capabilities, this can help shrink pores, reduce the appearance of small lines and wrinkles, increase collagen, restore skin elasticity, tighten skin and improve dark circles, among other benefits.

Following the acupuncture treatment, an herbal salve is applied to the face to clear heat and toxins and to moisturize the skin. One of my favorite elements of the session is facial cupping, which increases circulation and encourages the platelets to replenish any stagnation just under your skin, plumping up elasticity.

"Don't worry, it will not leave bruising marks like you see on some Olympic athletes," said Burgess. "These cups are gentler and the continuous movement of them allows the blood to flow, instead of being stagnant."

Guasha (pronounced, gwa-sha), comes in at the end as a lovely finale. It's like a massage using jade and rose quartz tools. The technique is designed to raise the tissues up, drain lymph and encourage collagen production.

Burgess also provides patients with a number of lifestyle recommendations to assist your body in producing the greatest results, including a clean diet, sun protection, utilizing proper eyewear and regular movement.

"The ability of the body to truly transform during six weeks is incredible," Burgess said.

Three months of the program was healing and rejuvenating for me, felt internally and visible externally. I understand nothing is permanent, and I look forward to visiting Burgess regularly to keep up with the results and benefits of this methodology.

To experience full results, Burgess recommends starting with the 12-session, two times weekly package. Following this intensive segment, once a month or more is recommended for maintenance.

Jaclyn Hill's new cosmetic line faces quality criticism - ABC10.com KXTV

YouTuber Jaclyn Hill is facing criticism following complaints over the quality of her new makeup line, Jaclyn Cosmetics. Her company says the number of complaints is small and it is addressing them.

Hill's first cosmetic line was released on May 30, but customers began complaining over the quality of the makeup shortly after. The complaints included finding fibers, possibly even hair on the lipstick. Others said the lipstick they received had lumps or that it had the consistency of a cream.

They posted photos of what they found on social media.

On Tuesday, Jaclyn Cosmetics released a statement to Entertainment Tonight:

"The response to the launch of Jaclyn Cosmetics has been incredible. Of the incredible volume of orders that were placed at launch, we believe less than half of one percent of orders were impacted by compromised product. We are actively reaching out to our customers with questions and concerns and have added to our customer service team to make sure that any questions are swiftly addressed. We are keeping an eye on the Jaclyn Cosmetics social channels and info@jaclyncosmetics.com, and welcome all feedback. We love our customers and are proud of our successful launch."

Love Island’s Molly-Mae’s natural beauty revealed in stunning snaps before transformation into Instagram sta - The Sun

Posted: 14 Jun 2019 11:05 AM PDT

MOLLY-MAE Hague's natural beauty has been revealed in a series of stunning snaps before her transformation into an Instagram star.

The 20-year-old beauty turned several boys' heads when she entered the Love Island villa last week as the first bombshell of the series.

Molly-Mae looks completely different in the throwback snaps

Now photos of the star before she became a social media influencer have been revealed, with Molly-Mae looking fresh-faced as she poses with her friends.

Although she entered the villa with peroxide blonde locks, Molly is sporting her natural brown hair in the photos.

One image shows the Islander beaming with her hands on her hips in a navy blue outfit.

Her long, wavy hair is tied into a side ponytail and the star is wearing minimal make-up aside from her classic bright red lipstick.

In another post, Molly is pouting while staring into the camera alongside a curly-haired pal, with her hair tied into a long side-plait.

A third shows her with two more friends, smiling at the camera in a white blouse.

The old pictures come just days after the Love Island star was trolled by cruel viewers who accused her of being a "catfish".

Claiming that the Instagram star looks "nothing like her pictures", one viral tweet twinned up a glam shot from her public profile with a grab from the ITV2 dating show.

The caption was: "Have you ever seen a bigger catfish in your life mate?"

Another fan wrote: "I am no longer going to look at 'influencers' Instagrams & be sad that I dont look like them... They dont look like them."

Molly-Mae isn't the only Love Island star to be accused of looking completely different in before and after snaps, with her love rival Maura Higgins also coming under scrutiny.

The Irish beauty underwent a dramatic transformation before entering the villa earlier this week, prompting speculation that she has had plastic surgery.

In photos taken from 2012, 28-year-old Maura looks remarkably different, with thinner lips and fewer curves.

Maura's mum has since hit back at claims that her daughter has had several cosmetic procedures, insisting that Maura's looks have simply "matured" over the years and she has only had lip fillers.

She told Longford Leader: "She's 28 now. She has matured. She never got plastic surgery ever.

"The only thing she ever got done - and she never hid it, she had it up on her own Instagram - was she got some lip filler. Because she had quite thin lips.

However, some fans remain convinced that Maura has also had bum implants, with the star sharing a before and after snap of her booty to an Instagram Transformation page.

While the images don't show Maura's face in its entirety, the star is identifiable by the tattoo which runs down the side of her hip.

The post read: "Check out @maurahiggins #GluteGainz after a very hard six weeks."

But fans questioned whether she had some extra help with bum implants given her quick turnaround.

I survived the acupuncture facial celebrities are obsessed with - ABC News

Posted: 17 Jun 2019 12:56 AM PDT

After noticing celebrities like Ashley Graham, Gwyneth Paltrow and Kim Kardashian posting photos of themselves with acupuncture needles coming out of their faces, I was really intrigued to learn what it was all about.

The treatment they all had been trying is called facial acupuncture, and it's said to come with some pretty amazing beauty and wellness benefits.

Acupuncture is the process of inserting tiny needles into strategic points on your body and is primarily used to relieve pain, according to the Mayo Clinic.

It's also a key component of traditional Chinese medicine.

Facial acupuncture follows this same practice, claiming to help boost stressed skin, reduce inflammation and enhance brightness, among other things.

Once I saw supermodel Ashley Graham post a funny video of herself going through the process, I was convinced I should give it a test drive too.

I reached out to licensed acupuncturist Stefanie DiLibero and owner of Gotham Wellness in New York City to find out when I could set up an appointment.

Once we settled on a date for my treatment, DiLibero told me that I would need to do a phone consultation with her.

During our chat, she asked me general health questions and what I was looking to improve.

At the time, I had been experiencing moderate stress, lack of energy, oiliness, some dullness and noticeable inflammation.

DiLibero told me that acupuncture could help with these issues.

As you might notice in the photo above, I was equal parts nervous and excited to try the facial acupuncture.

There was an instant calm that I felt when I arrived at Gotham Wellness as the studio was really clean and DiLibero had a relaxing nature about her, which is pretty important when you're getting needles in your face -- yikes!

"If you were to look at the needle, it looks like a wire," she told me. "It's as thin as a human hair."

"For someone who is just scared of needles, the last place they probably want it to be put is in their face, but once people have had acupuncture in their body, they realize it feels like pretty much nothing," she added.

My treatment fell under the "Cosmetic Acupuncture" section of services, and it was called Aculectrics. This two-hour technique incorporates lymphatic drainage, gua sha, cupping, connective tissue face lifting massages, microcurrent and LED light, in addition to facial acupuncture.

All of these methods are said to help enhance the benefits of acupuncture.

DiLibero began by placing the needles on my feet and legs, and I was completely relieved that there wasn't any pain.

Before inserting each needle, there's a quick countdown, an inhale and an exhale, and once she inserts the needle, you can barely feel it. It's like gently poking yourself with a toothpick.

Then, DiLibero began to massage the connective tissues near my collarbone and face. This technique is said to help fluids move through the stomach more efficiently.

This is normal as the massage gets all the fluids in your body to move more rapidly, she said.

Next, DiLibero applied microcurrent to my face.

"It's therapeutical electrical stimulation," she explained. "It helps to keep the muscles nice and healthy. It adds energy in the form of electricity so that we're really moving things through now that we've opened up these channels."

During this time, there were temporary sparks of a metallic taste in my mouth, which is normal as your skin is responding to the electrical current.

Roughly 30 needles were carefully placed in my face and, ironically enough, I was in relaxation mode.

The needles create micropunctures that help the skin go in overdrive to produce more collagen, DiLibero said, which helps to banish fine lines.

During this time, she says blood flow is enhanced in the face, which sends off a brightening effect.

Finally, we used LED light therapy to complete the process.

"It's a technology which helps the body to heal itself," DiLibero said. It also helps to reduce common concerns such as inflammation, acne and bacteria.

Once the needles were removed, I took a look in the mirror and couldn't believe how much healthier my skin looked.

There was an instant glow and lift near my cheeks.

The hardest part of the process was actually finding the courage to go through with it.

The treatment I went through with DiLibero is safe for all skin tones and textures because there are no external products. The results have surprisingly lasted for weeks post-treatment.

My husband even wondered if I had secretly done botox. Nope, just acupuncture to the face!

If you are looking to enhance your internal and external glow, it's truly an investment worth the shot(s).

Prices generally range anywhere from $100 to $250 or more, depending on where you go. It's best to check for certifications, licenses and reviews before making an appointment.

There are little to no risks involved, but mild bruising is possible, according to a study done by the National Center for Biotechnology Information.

Overall, I experienced a sense of head-to-toe clarity that made me feel like an optimal version of myself.
