3 Steps to Smooth Skin with Dr. Denese.

Whenever I hear Dr. Denese present on QVC, I am drawn in. Whether it is her soft spoken demeanor, her Hungarian accent or simply her vast knowledge of skin care, I am all ears. I recently tried some of her products that I am using every night. My night time routine requires 3 products and 3 easy steps for soft, smooth skin.

Step one: Advanced Firming Facial Pads

Dr. Denese's most sought after product, this is a glycolic peel in a pad. Formulated with peptides, glycolic acid, alpha lipoic acid plus a proprietary Actizone Firming Factor™, skin is radiant, more firm and even toned. Each pad delivers the perfect dose of exfoliation. Over time, it dramatically reduces the look of lines, wrinkles and it drastically shrinks the look of pores. When first staring out, it is important to take caution and only use this twice a week and slowly build up to daily use.

Step two: HydroShield Ultra Moisturizing Face Serum

This serum hydrates skin and locks that hydration in so skin is plumped immediately. Fine lines and wrinkles seem to disappear as hydration levels increase. HydroShield is based on Dr. Denese's unique and proprietary HydroShield® technology, which was founded after years of medical research. It is formulated with skin identical lipids, ceramides, soy, vitamin E, retinol, linoleic acids, EFA, and glycolipids. I love how my skin feels right after I apply this.
1 oz. - $65.00

Step three: Triple Strength Wrinkle Smoother Advanced Treatment

This super strength moisturizer is the ultimate night time moisturizer. Loaded with three times the amount of peptides to give skin the ultimate result of smooth skin. It is a very thick cream that instantly absorbs into skin and makes it appear smoother than before. It is the perfect final step before bed.
1.7 oz. - $45.00

All Dr. Denese products are available online at drdenese.com as well as on QVC.

Imedeen® 90-Day Follow-Up.

Late last year, I introduced you to this anti-aging supplement Imedeen Time Perfection® that I started to take. Imedeen® is now a part of my skin care routine and and I am really glad that I tried this anti-aging supplement.

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. 

The proprietary blend of ingredients in the Imedeen Time Perfection® marine complex provides elements important for skin’s structure and moisture, similar to those naturally found in the skin.

• LycoPhence GS® is a skin defense system providing tomato fruit and grape seed extracts, which both contribute to the protection against oxidative damage to the skin.
• Vitamin C is an important antioxidant and essential in the formation of collagen, which is a primary structural protein in the skin.

I can say that after using Imedeen® for 90 days, overall my skin is less dry and more even toned. The biggest difference I have noticed is on my neck. After losing weight too fast about 18 months ago, the skin on my neck had been really sagging until recently. It now seems to be more smooth and firm. I have also found that I need less of my rich moisurizers, which is such a great thing.

Adding Mario Badescu Serums to My Skin Care Routine.

I started using a Mario Badescu Skin Care routine earlier this year. One thing lacking in my original routine was a serum. I am happy to report that I have added two Mario Badescu serums to my regimen and I am really happy with them. I am using one in the morning and one at night; my skin is thanking me for it.

Mario Badescu Hyaluronic Emulsion with Vitamin C - $30.00
Formulated with a concentrated blend of Collagen, Hyaluronic Acid and the antioxidant Vitamin C, this milky serum is plumping up my lines and making my skin appear overall brighter the more I use it. I am using a few drops of this after toning and blend it over my skin. It doesn't feel like a typical serum, as it feels more like a light moisturizer and I really like the feel of the added hydration on my skin. I have added this to my morning routine.

Mario Badescu Vitamin C Serum - $45.00
This Vitamin C Serum is a powerhouse serum with a good amount of the antioxidant Vitamin C. In fact, it contains 7.5% Absorbic Acid (Vitamin C) to help reduce discolorations such as age spots and hyperpigmentation. Because it is very strong, I am using it as recommended, which is every other evening. Since I have begun using this serum, I am noticing a huge even-ness and brightness to my skin tone.
