The New Sexy And How To Get It In Time For Summer - With Lush Cheekbones And Smooth Skin

Sexiness attracts men and fascinates women. It's alluring and captivating, but often feels elusive. So what is sexy, and where do you get it?

It starts with a foundation of smooth, beautiful skin, the contours of youth, and a bright, energetic glow.

"Glow is always in," said Holly CaSaroll, founder and CEO of Face Skincare~Medical~Wellness. "I would really say the trend tends to be in cheekbones right now. We really see a lot of people coming in and getting their cheekbones done. They're restoring that fullness to the midface. You look at Kylie Jenner, what they did with her is phenomenal. They took her from an average looking girl and made her look like Kim Kardashian. It's unbelievable how much she changed her face by creating cheekbones."

It may be easier to achieve than you think: Fillers like Juvederm and Voluma can let you walk in feeling deflated and walk out with the face you had years before -- or with the face you wish you had years before. "Restalyne Lyft really lifts up that cheek really well," CaSaroll said. "I love it. It realy creates a lifted appearance in the skin, and it's natural. No one ones you did something, they just know you look great. It's natural and it lasts so long. In 10 minutes, you can get the cheekbones of your 20s."

Here are other ways to bring back your sexy for summer.

Pure Is Sexy

Everybody is carrying around toxins in their body. It's a rather disgusting thought, isn't it? It sure doesn't make you feel sexy. Eliminating toxins from your body will help you feel not only alluring, but also all-around fresh and healthy. A detoxification program reduces the stress on your liver and kidneys and tames inflammation. Flushing toxins out of your system can help you achieve clear skin, a strong metabolism and a healthy weight, plus you'll feel less achy and more energized.

In addition to removing toxins from your system, what you put into your body also affects its purity. A naturopathic approach to medicine treats health conditions as naturally as possible and reserves pharmaceuticals for a last resort. Conventional medications often have less-than-desirable side effects, but a naturopathic approach circumvents this problem, instead leaving you balanced, healthy and confident in your body's ability to take care of itself.

Smooth Is Sexy

Wrinkles, fine lines, breakouts and acne scars mar your appearance and hide the lovely face that's hiding underneath. Fortunately, there's nothing saying that you're stuck with those imperfections. Modern skin technology offers solutions for all of your skin-smoothing needs. Even stubborn acne and deep ice-pick scars can be healed. Chemical peels, laser treatments and injectables can all be used — particularly in conjunction with one another — to smooth and firm your skin. You'll be amazed at the reflection that you see the mirror, and other people will notice your newfound sex appeal, as well.

While you're refining your skin, don't limit the process only to your face. Smoothing treatments, such as lasers and peels, can also firm and tighten the skin on other areas of your body. Body treatments like Cellfina can reduce cellulite, lasers can remove hair, eliminate skin irregularities and even freeze or destroy inches of fat.

Glowing Is Sexy

The rigors of life have a tendency to dull skin, making it look dry, uneven and aged. It's hard to feel sexy when you look rough and worn down. Enhance your beauty by restoring the glow to your skin with facial treatments. Oxygen therapy, peels and other facial procedures can remove old skin cells, tighten the appearance of your skin and minimize pores. When your skin is healthy, it practically glows. You look fresh; you feel amazing.

As a bonus, top facial treatments not only improve your skin, but also add a touch of celebrity luxury to your day. Hollywood stars seem to radiate sex appeal, and indulging in a bit of their celebrity lifestyle may be all it takes to help you feel extra sexy. Check out the celebrity facial at FACE, with its customized array of light therapy in combination with other skin treatments that let you face the world with confidence.

Confidence Is Sexy

When you're happy with who you are, it shows. A beautiful face that isn't matched with a confident spirit is still lovely, but it doesn't radiate sexiness. When you know who you are and are comfortable with your looks, it makes all the difference. Confidence to complement your beauty shines forth, and that is truly sexy.

Sexy is more than your face, your body or what's on the surface of your skin. It includes what's on the outside, but its real source is what's on the inside. A strong self-image, paired with your best body, makes for a sexy, irresistible you.
