L’Occitane Immortelle Precious Serum.

The new L’Occitane Immortelle Precious Serum is a new launch from the brand. It features a breakthrough formula to stimulate collagen to give an overall younger looking complexion. Who doesn't want that, right?

The breakthrough formula in this serum comes from active ingredients of 1001 immortelle flowers. You see, Immortelle is a flower with exceptional longevity - it never fades, even after being picked. As a result of some heavy duty L’Occitane scientific research, this new Precious Serum concentrates this anti-aging power of 1001 of these super powerful flowers. The formula acts on the 3 main important stages of collagen: production, protection and repairing. Skin is left soft and looking younger , as in not fading, over time.

The serum has a lightly tectured feel to it as it glides across and sinks into skin. As it is a fairly light feeling serum, I really like it for daytime use.

L’Occitane Immortelle Precious Serum sells for $70.00 and is available at usa.loccitane.com and in over 170 boutiques throughout the United States.

3 Products to Fade Age Spots.

Dark spots be gone. I battle these pesky age spots that are popping up as I am getting older. No matter how much I do to protect my skin from the sun now, my past and age has caught up with me. I do what I can and am always trying new products to fade these spots. Here are three new products I have found that are helping me win this constant battle.

1. Garnier Skin Renew Clinical Dark Spot Overnight Peel

Designed to brighten skin, this exfoliant is a leave on "peel". Glycolic Acid helps exfoliate the spots away, while Glycerin helps to seal in moisture.

I use it as I would a serum, and I leave on my skin every night.

After just a few weeks of use, overall my skin looks brighter.

Garner Skin Renew Clinical Dark Spot Overnight Peel retails for $16.99.

2. Bremenn Dark Spot Eraser

A powerful combination of super-effective skin lighteners and pigmentation compounds not only helps reduce the appearance of existing dark spots, it helps in keeping future dark spots away.

I use this every night before a regular moisturizer, on my face, chest and hands.

After about a month of use, the age spots I am working on now are noticeably fading.

Bremenn Dark Spot Eraser retails for $59.00.

3. Palmer's Eventone Age Spot Hand Cream

This hand cream helps transform dry and cracked hands with Palmer's very own Tone Enhancing Complex. This complex helps fade discolorations on hands, while keeping them super soft.

I use this every night, as I normally would a hand cream, right at bed time.

After about a month of using it on just my left hand, the difference in the age spots are noticeably lighter.

Palmer's Eventone Age Hand Spot Hand Cream retails for $6.00.

Kiehl's Rosa Arctica Lightweight Cream and Rosa Arctica Eye

The Kiehl's Rosa Arctica Youth Regenerating Cream is a breakthrough anti-aging product. Launched earlier last year, this product quickly became a best seller, but fans wanted more. Learning that there was a need for a lighter cream and simply more products, Kiehl's just launched two new products to the Rosa Arctica family. Meet Rosa Arctica Lightweight Cream and Rosa Arctica Eye.

Like the classic Rosa Arctica Cream, these new beauties harnesses the power of the rare Resurrection Flower, to help "wake up" skin cells. I don't know about you, but my skin cells could definitely use a wake up after the summer where my skin is simply over-exposed. You see, this Resurrection Flower, or Haberlea rhodopensis, is a unique biological wonder that can dry out completely and survive periods of dryness during unfavorable conditions for up to 31 months!!! It is how it adapts to environment and survives. When the optimal growth conditions arise, the plant resumes normal growth within hours. Isn't that amazing?  With only a few drops of moisture, and the plant is restored in just one to two days.

The Rosa Arctica formulas bring that unique revitalizing property to the skin. It offers intense hydration, minimizes the appearance of lines, increases firmness and elasticity, and simply smoothes the overall texture of skin.

While I am not quite that hard on my skin, I need to nourish it when I can. I am a fan of the original Rosa Arctica Youth Regenerating Cream, but it was heavy, even for my dry skin. I like the new Rosa Arctica Lightweight Cream just as much or maybe even more. I can layer this on in the morning, which is essential if I am (or my skin) is feeling extra tired. I could not wear the original during the day as it was just too rich for me.

The Rosa Arctica Eye Cream has done more for my eyes in a few days than my favorites. It is a balm that is so hydrating. Thanks to mineral brighteners, this instant hydration, just makes my eye area look more alive, as it starts to plump skin, fills in crow’s feet and lifts the area.
