Dr. Lancer Devotee: Frankie Grande

lancerskincare_frankiegrande

Frankie Grande is militant about his skincare! The YouTube phenom (and Ariana’s big brother) has been a devotee of The Lancer Method as well as our Sheer Fluid Sun Shield and Eye Contour Lifting Cream since the brand relaunched. He recently Instagrammed a command to his legions of followers, “Defend your skin with @drlancerrx” – and with good reason: from Big Brother 16 to his role in the Broadway production of Mamma Mia!, The Method has served him well. We’ve rarely seen a more flawless complexion – or had more fun than when he stops by to visit.

Dr. Lancer Devotee: Ryan Seacrest

lancer_seacrest

They call him the hardest working man in Hollywood, so it only stands to reason that he’d need a skincare regimen that works overtime too. With a packed schedule that spans from early a.m. call times for On Air with Ryan Seacrest to evenings hosting American Idol and production work sandwiched in between, you’d think the toll of his demanding schedule might show up on his face. But Ryan Seacrest doesn’t look a day over 29. (He’s actually 39.) Of course, with so little time to spare, Ryan requires a pared down skincare system, which is why he’s a fan of our simple, at-home, 3-step Method. He has also spilled Dr. L’s skincare secrets on air (listen here). And when he is able to squeeze in a visit to our dermatology offices, he can’t resist a facial with our resident aesthetician Louise Deschamps for the ultimate Lancer glow.

Ask Dr. Lancer: How Do I Reverse Décolletage Damage?

lancerskincare_decollete

It’s very common for people to be diligent with sunscreen use on their face, while forgetting their chest area, resulting in skin that gives away their true age – or even makes them look older than they are. Here are six steps you can take to fix sagginess, dehydration or pigmentation of the décolleté area:

1. Don’t Neglect Your Décolletage. Sunspots and other forms of pigmentation can cause your décolletage to appear ancient, so start by bringing your facial skincare regimen down to your neck and décolleté. The skin in these areas and will respond to our three-step Polish-Cleanse-Nourish Method and other advanced treatments, such as our Retexturizing Treatment Cream, which features glycolic acid to help speed up cell turnover and reduce pigmentation.

2. Stay Hydrated. Dehydration is one of the main causes of crepey looking skin in the chest area. Nourish the skin you want to improve with hydrating ingredients such as stem cells and Vitamin C. Our Intensive Night Treatment is especially good for repairing damaged skin while you sleep.

3. Sleep on Your Back. Invest in a super soft pillow that forms to your head and learn to sleep on your back. This prevents creases from forming on your chest (and face) while you sleep. Waking up with an occasional crease from sleeping on your stomach or side may not seem like a big deal, but over time, these creases can become permanent fixtures on your skin.

4. Power Exfoliate. If all else fails, an in-office treatment can really turn back the clock and tighten up any sagginess. Start by booking a Power Peel to exfoliate and get blood circulating in the area, which will help to make the skin appear smoother, more evenly toned and instantly brighten it. Follow a Power Peel with a Dermatude session. An innovation in anti-aging treatments, Dermatude is a painlesss procedure that makes microperforations in the skin to allow certain serums (we use a stem cell serum) to be inserted into the deeper layers of the skin encouraging the skin’s natural collagen and elastin production, revitalizing the cells, and providing intense hydration.

5. Practice Safe Skin. Stay out of the sun whenever possible and always be sure to slather your décolleté with a high-grade physical and chemical sunscreen when wearing a skin-baring neckline. Our Sheer Fluid Sun Shield was formulated so that it won’t leave a mark on your clothes, so it’s safe to apply liberally just before slipping into your ensemble.

6. Keep the Faith. I am working on a top secret formula specifically for the neck and décolleté that will be groundbreaking when it is finally released next spring! Sign up for our mailing list to be the first to know about it.

Younger-Approved Recipe: Coconut Oil Coffee

Closeup of cup of coffee on the bed. Light painting.

We all know that aside from the helpful pep you can get from a cup of coffee, there are a number of serious downsides to regularly consuming caffeine. OD-ing on the energizing stimulant can wreak havoc on your adrenal glands, putting your body in a stressed state that is detrimental to your mental and physical health.

Recently, everyone at Lancer Skincare HQ was turned on to coconut oil coffee – an unexpected twist on your standard cup of joe that tastes amazing, negates some of the less-than-desirable effects of eveyone’s favorite morning beverage, and supplies a healthy source of fat. Similar to the famed Bulletproof Coffee™ made famous by nutrition expert Dave Asprey, this combination of black coffee with a healthy saturated fat slows the absorption of caffeine into the bloodstream, giving you steady, long lasting energy without jitters or a mid-afternoon slump, and keeps you feeling full throughout the morning.  And not only is coconut oil great for the skin, it also makes you feel less bloated.

If you’re going to switch up your coffee routine, here are a few other things to consider to help make coffee a healthy part of your day:

  • Buy organic coffee beans. Conventional coffee is heavily sprayed with pesticides which can be harmful to health over time.
  • Limit yourself to one cup a day, and take a day off every few days.
  • Avoid caffeine after noon so you don’t disrupt your sleep cycle.

Here’s how to make this amazing, creamy coffee:

  1. Brew your normal cup of black coffee (preferably with organic, single-origin, fair-trade beans).
  2. Pour the brewed coffee (1-2 cups) into a blender and add 1 teaspoon of organic, unprocessed coconut oil. (It’s okay if the coconut oil is still solid, it will liquify in the blender.)
  3. Blend for 30 seconds, or until the coffee has turned a light, creamy, hazelnut color.
  4. Enjoy!

The coffee will take on an entirely different color and texture – almost like that of a latte – when you blend it this way.  If you like your coffee sweetened, add a small amount of raw honey or cinnamon. As you get used to the coconut oil, you can add more – up to a tablespoon – but build up to this level slowly. Too much coconut oil can be harsh on the stomach if you’re not used to it.

Let us know what you think of this delicious blend!

How to Care for Elbows, Knees & Heels

elbowskneesheels

You know the feeling – you slick on moisturizer from head to toe, only to catch a glimpse of an elbow, knee, heel or other problem spot that still looks dry, flaky and discolored. The thicker skin on elbows, knees and heels often requires more care than other parts of the body due to the sheer amount of use we put these areas through – and the extra skin they have in order to bend and flex. Here are three ways to combat unsighlty elbows, knees and heels.

Start with Daily Use of The Body Method. Our new Method for Body is an advanced anti-aging solution that adapts Dr. Lancer’s groundbreaking anti-aging method of skincare to the body and works especially well on extra dry areas such as elbows, knees and heels. If you want to whip problem areas into shape, your first line of defense is a daily regimen of this 3-step Method. Using pure quartz crystals, our self-warming Body Polish exfoliates the skin and infuses it with oxygen and nutrients and readys it to receive additional treatments and benefits. Follow Body Polish with Body Cleanse to sweep away dead skin cells post-exfoliation. Body Cleanse helps to open pores and detoxify the skin while also balancing its pH levels. Finish with Body Nourish to lock in moisture and speed up cell turnover so these areas never look flaky and dull again.

Take a Collodial Oatmeal Bath. If the skin in these areas is particularly hard and – worse – itchy, soothe and soften it with a collodial oatmeal bath. Fill the bath with warm (not hot) water, slowly pour collodial oatmeal (which you can buy pre-made) into the stream of water coming from the faucet to disperse it evenly throughout the bath water and soak for 15 minutes. Follow this with the 3-step Body Method for best results.

Try an Exilis Treatment. If your elbows, knees or heels are seriously dry and need more TLC than an at-home regimen offers, try an in-office treatment such as Exilis to help restore the skin back to its original state. A popular treatment in our Beverly Hills office, “the deeply penetrating radio wave pulses of Exilis effectively penetrate deeper folds of skin and flexural areas of the body, greatly improving texture,” says Dr. Lancer. Once you’ve set the course of a healing path, keep it going at home with daily use of Body Polish, Cleanse and Nourish.

5 Minutes With… Nick Cannon

5Minutes-NickCannon

Actor, comedian, rapper, record producer – is there anything Nick Cannon doesn’t do – and do well? With such a busy schedule, the 33 year-old multi-hyphenate needs a simple yet effective skincare routine to rely on for a consistently flawless complexion, which is why the 3-step Method is ideal for him. As we’ve discussed before, it’s not just women for whom exfoliation and hydration are key. Men’s skin is tough and often needs extra TLC to stay clear, healthy and youthful like Nick’s. Here’s how he keeps his skin in check:

Lancer Skincare: What difference does good skincare make in your line of work?

Nick Cannon: In my line of work, my face is my brand. Healthy skin is priceless, especially because I don’t wear any makeup. Lancer Skincare products always keep me looking fresh and rested.

LS: Do you have a favorite product in the Lancer Skincare range?

NC: The Polish and lately the Intensive Night Treatment because of all of the traveling I do.

LS: Quick glowing skin tip! 

NC: Use your products and follow Dr. Lancer’s regimen and you will see the results daily.

5 Minutes With… Mena Suvari

5Minutes-MenaSuvari-final

Mena Suvari has rarely had a moment out of the spotlight since her breakout role in American Beauty fifteen years ago. And with three new movies and a pilot coming out, she’s spent the better part of the last year on call for the camera. So how does she keep that fresh-faced glow despite logging serious hours in the makeup chair? We chatted with her to find out.

Lancer Skincare: What difference does good skincare make in your line of work?

Mena Suvari: It’s very important to have a good skincare regimen when you’re working in any type of environment that involves wearing full makeup for extended periods of time. As an actress, I can attest to how wonderful it is to know that I can clean my skin properly with Dr. Lancer’s products, refresh and renew my skin with what it was stripped of by wearing makeup all day, and also protect it for the coming day.

LS: Do you have a favorite product in the Lancer Skincare range?

MS: As per usual, it is difficult for me to just pick one product that I like more than others, as in this case it really is true that the products work together, hand-in-hand. But I will say that I really enjoy the Polishes, as I’m the type of person that loves that “squeaky clean” feeling when I wash my face. It’s probably because of living in a city – even being out during the day causes such a build-up!

LS: Quick glowing skin tip!

MS: I found that after using Dr. Lancer’s products, I didn’t need to wear any makeup during the day. Even products providing the lightest coverage, like tinted moisturizers, weren’t needed. Using The Method is powerful enough to really give me that even skin tone I’ve always wanted.

LS: What is the the most unexpected piece of advice Dr. Lancer has given you?

MS: Well, something that I was very impressed with was that Dr. Lancer talks to you about your specific needs based on your ethnicity and where your ancestors come from, which dictates how your skin will react and behave. For me, he explained that I need to wear sunblock all day every day because I am of Estonian descent, which makes my skin very sensitive to light. In fact, my skin could pigment even from the lighting they use on set! That really surprised me and was something I had never thought of!

Kate Young routinely tops the list of Hollywood’s most powerful stylists – and for good reason. The industry veteran has worked with Anna Wintour, Oscar winners and some of the biggest brands in fashion: Tod’s, Halston, Dior and Carolina Herrera, to name a few (more here). The self-described beauty junkie took five minutes to chat with us:

Lancer Skincare: What difference does good skin care make in your line of work?

Kate Young: How I look is definitely important in my job – it’s a visual industry – so it matters! Good skincare makes my mornings faster too because I don’t need to worry about makeup, so there’s a better chance of me running on time.

LS: Do you have a favorite product in the Lancer Skincare range? 

KY: The Polish – I LOVE it!

LS: What’s your best quick glowing skin tip?

KY: My best tip is to exfoliate and to use the products – they make an enormous difference.

5 Minutes With… Haley Bennett

LSC-5MinutesWith-WendiHaley-1

With four movies coming out this year and two more slated for 2015, Haley Bennett (Music and Lyrics, Marley & Me) is fast becoming a Hollywood it-girl. The stunning, porcelain-skinned starlet, who’s often spotted in the front row at Paris Fashion Week, entrusts her flawless face to Lancer Skincare. She spilled a few of her health and beauty secrets to us:

Lancer Skincare: What difference does good skin care make in your career?

Haley Bennett: It’s important to maintain the health of my skin so I can spend less time in a makeup chair and more time getting beauty rest in the morning. Also, the integrity of the skin makes everyone feel good and gives us confidence.

LS: Do you have a favorite product in the Lancer Skincare range? 

HB: If I had to pick one product, it would be the stem cell serum. I always beg [Lancer Skincare aesthetician] RPK to slather on Lancer’s golden miracle potion after a facial. Oh, and his sunscreen is my handbag’s best friend. And my shower’s best mates are the face and body polish. I mean, I love it all – the products work wonders.

LS: What’s your best quick glowing skin tip?

HB: The simplest thing, stay hydrated. Become obsessed with avocado, nut butter and greens. Yum.

LS: What is the strangest or most unexpected piece of advice has Dr. Lancer given you?  

HB: To eliminate gluten, I mean….not the strangest thing but the hardest thing. I love a good bolognese. Sorry, Dr. Lancer!

Dr. Lancer Devotee: Victoria Beckham

LSC-DLDevotee-VictoriaBeckham

Mogul, mother of four, fashion designer, pop star – how Victoria Beckham has time to look as fabulously flawless as she does is (almost) a mystery to us. Though we’re sure Becks has a bevy of beauty secrets, she has publicly revealed that she’s a devotee of The Lancer Method as well as our Lift Serum Intense and Sheer Fluid Sun Shield. A combination of healthy diet and lifestyle (which you can read about in Dr. Lancer’s anti-aging guide Younger) teamed with a strict adherence to our 3-step skincare Method, has helped the 40 year-old to overcome uneven, acne-prone skin. That radiant, blemish-free glow she now sports? Well, it has us thinking 40 may just be the new 20.
