Must-have Skin Supplements to look young

A good cleanser is your skin's best friend. Look for something gentle that won't strip your skin of its natural oils. Cream cleansers are great for dry or sensitive skin, while foaming cleansers work well for oily types.

Next up, toner.

This often-overlooked step can make a big difference. It helps balance your skin's pH and preps it for the next steps in your routine.

Serums.

These concentrated creams are packed with active ingredients that target specific skin concerns. For anti-aging, look for serums with vitamin C, retinol, or hyaluronic acid.

Moisturizer.

This is key for keeping your skin hydrated and plump. For day, choose one with SPF (sun protection is crucial for preventing premature aging). At night, go for something richer to nourish your skin while you sleep.

Eye cream.

The skin around your eyes is delicate and often shows signs of aging first. A good eye cream can help with fine lines, puffiness, and dark circles.

Finally, face oil.

These can provide an extra boost of hydration and nutrients, leaving your skin with a healthy glow.

Remember, consistency is key.

Stick to your routine, and give it time to work. Your skin will thank you!

3 ways to reduce fatigue after exercise

Crushed a workout?

But now you're feeling wiped out and wondering how to bounce back.

Here are 3 ways to reduce fatigue after exercise:

1. Refuel
   
   Your body needs nutrients to recover, so don't skip the post-workout meal.
   
   Aim for a combo of protein and clean carbs within 30 minutes of your workout.
   
   A protein shake with a banana, or some Greek yogurt with berries can do the trick.
   
   This will help replenish your energy stores and kickstart muscle recovery.
   

2. Hydrate
   
   You lose a lot of fluids during a tough workout, and dehydration can leave you feeling drained.
   
   Make sure you're sipping water throughout your workout and keep drinking afterwards.
   
   If you've had a particularly intense session, consider a sports drink to replace electrolytes.
   

3. Stretch
   
   Taking 10-15 minutes to stretch can make a world of difference.
   
   It'll help reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, and prevent that dreaded next-day soreness.
   
   Focus on the muscles you worked during your exercise and hold each stretch for 15-30 seconds.

Could also consider taking Magnesium supplements.

Healthy Cookie Dough Recipe (makes 4 servings)

Cookie dough is great but has almost ~500 calories / 100 grams which is awful + a lot of processed sugar.

My recipe is high in protein and actually healthy for you.

Macros per serving

• Total Calories: 250 kcal

• Protein: 12 g

• Carbohydrates: 18 g

• Sugars: 8 g

• Fat: 15 g

The Ingredients

• 120g almond flour (1 cup)

• 60g protein powder (1/2 cup, preferably vanilla or chocolate flavor)

• 60ml unsweetened almond milk (1/4 cup)

• 60g natural almond butter or peanut butter (1/4 cup)

• 30ml maple syrup or honey (2 tablespoons)

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 30g dark chocolate chips (1/4 cup, optional)

• Pinch of salt

The Instructions

1. Mix Dry Ingredients:

   • In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, protein powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to ensure they are evenly mixed.

2. Add Wet Ingredients:

   • Add the almond butter or peanut butter, maple syrup or honey, unsweetened almond milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a bit more almond milk, a tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.

3. Fold in Chocolate Chips:

   • If using, fold in the dark chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

4. Serve:

   • You can enjoy the protein cookie dough immediately. For a firmer texture, refrigerate the dough for about 30 minutes before serving.

   • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Pro Tip: I add a bit of peanut butter on top and put it in the freezer for 30 minutes.
