Introducing Imedeen Time Perfection®.

It's funny.  When I was a teenager, I couldn't wait to grow up. Now, I just want to turn back the clock and look as young as I can. I try every anti-aging product I can get my hands on; moisturizers, peels, masks, retinols, LED lights, lasers. I exercise, eat well, stay hydrated and wear sunscreen. I just may be a little obsessed with anti-aging. I am always wondering if I am doing all I can to look younger than I am. It turns out I am not. Have you ever heard of anti-aging supplements? Until very recently, I had not. But these "aging vitamins" do exist, and I am going to give some a try. I am about to start a 90 day trial with Imedeen Time Perfection®.

Imedeen® has been a pioneering skincare product since 1991. A true innovation in anti-aging skincare, Imedeen Time Perfection® is a daily tablet that works from the inside out. The tablet contains a marine complex that provides elements important for skin’s structure and moisture. In fact, it is very similar to those naturally found in the skin’s supporting tissue. What is really exciting is that Imedeen® has been shown to work in as little as 90 days by reducing fine lines and wrinkles, improving skin quality and moisture balance, and protecting collagen and elastin fibers against oxidative damage.  

I am a perfect age to start using Imedeen Time Perfection® too. It was specially created for women over 40 to get deep into the dermal layer where the process of skin aging begins. Unlike skincare creams that only reach the top layer, Imedeen® works as part of a daily skincare routine to help make skin on not just the face, but on the entire body, feel softer, smoother and more supple.

I am hoping that Imedeen Time Perfection® is going to help boost my anti-aging efforts. I am looking for my skin to look smoother and plumper, with less fines lines and wrinkles.  I will be reporting back as I take Imedeen® over the next three months, and I will let you know if and when I notice anything in my skin. I am really excited to see how a skin care supplement works for me.

A one month supply of Imedeen Time Perfection® retails for $77.00, with larger quantities discounted, and can be purchased online at imedeen.us/shop.

StriVectin 360° Tightening Eye Serum.

Obviously one of the first signs of aging is around the eye area. I am usually most concerned with the fine lines, puffiness and darkness around the eyes. Recently I have noticed sagginess around my eyes. It looks like extra skin that is sort of just sitting there and sagging on the sides of my eyes.  I never knew what to do about this and honestly never knew there was anything I could do it about it (besides turning to a plastic surgeon). Enter this new 360° Tightening Eye Serum from one of my favorite anti-aging brands StriVectin. This serum was made to tighten and lift the eye area. I never imagined that this product would treat this sagginess that I have been too far acquainted with.

I really wish I took a picture of my eye area a month ago and then now because there is a remarkable difference. It's like this skin is gone, as it is tightened. And not just tightened after I apply it. It has gotten noticeably better over time. My eye area is much firmer, smoother and less puffy over all.

Here is a before and after picture from the StriVectin site. Now, my sagginess was not as bad as in the before, but my results are similar.

Can you say wow when looking at that picture? It is really impressive.

I have been using 360° Tightening Eye Serum all around my eye area, not just under and around my eyes.  I actually apply it on my eyelids and brow bone too. I apply it twice a day, before my eye cream. It is very light weight and absorbs into my skin immediately.  Too apply, I gently squeeze the tube and run the nifty metal applicator tip over and around my eye area, including the lids as I said. The metal tip seems to help in a quick de-puffing and tightening effect, which helps on the spot. But, as I also said above, the real effect takes place over time. After I run the tip over and around my eyes, I gently pat the area ever so gently (I use my pinky) until the serum is absorbed.

360° Tightening Eye Serum retails for $69.00  I use a very little amount each time. From just feeling how much I have used from the tube, I think this should last me 5 - 6 months. It is one of those products that I will not give up, so the cost vs. benefit does not even come into play. I would pay triple the price for the result. Shop at StriVectin.com, Sephora, Beauty.com or QVC.

Holiday 2012: Philosophy The Gift of Beautiful Skin.

I've been telling you about so many great Philosophy gift sets for the holidays, but I haven't really gone into any of their great skin are gift sets. Out of the few I have seen this year, The Gift of Beautiful Skin is my favorite.

This set has four must-haves from Philosophy:

• Purity Made Simple - one-step facial cleanser
• Microdelivery - exfoliating wash
• Hope in a Jar - original formula moisturizer
• Hope in a Tube - eye and lip firming cream

Not only do I consider them must-haves, these are some of their best selling and award winning skin care products. When used together, skin will be radiantly clear, beautifully bright, and impeccably smooth. That's what we all want! If you already have it, give the gift of beautiful skin to someone else you love.

The Gift of Beautiful Skin is available at QVC for $76.00. If these beauties were purchases separately, they would cost $117.00, so the saving sweetens the deal even more.
