My NEW Skin Care Routine with Imedeen Time Perfection® + a Giveaway.

 

Late last year, I introduced you to this anti-aging supplement Imedeen Time Perfection® that I started to take. After vowing to treat myself better this year, I am happy to say that I am making strides in my overall health and beauty resolutions as Imedeen® is now a part of my skin care routine.

A true innovation in anti-aging skincare, Imedeen® is a daily tablet that works from the inside out and has been shown to work in as little as 90 days in reducing fine lines and wrinkles, improving skin quality and moisture balance, and protecting collagen and elastin fibers against oxidative damage.  

It took a bit to get used to taking a pill as part of my skin care routine everyday. I already take a multi-vitamin and one prescription medication every morning. I thought that adding in this new "aging vitamin" at the same time would be ideal, but an additional two pills and having to take four pills at once was too much for me. I started to think how could I incorporate Imedeen Time Perfection® easier and remember to take it everyday. That's when it dawned on me. It is part of my skin care routine, so why not take it at night when I do my nightly skin care routine. So I put the box of Imedeen® on my vanity with my other skin care items. As I finish up with my final layer of night cream, I pop two pills out of the foil package and drink them down with a glass of water. Easy peasy. I haven't forgotten a dose. 

Imedeen® is part of my skin care routine, just as it my cleanser, serum, masks and moisturizers are. The supplement works in the body deep down in the dermal layer of skin where the process of skin aging begins. It’s here in the dermal layer that Imedeen® works throughout the entire body to strengthen and improve the skin’s invisible building blocks through nutrients that help skin retain moisture. Unlike my creams that only reach the top layer, it is working to help make my skin on my face and body feel softer, smoother and more supple. It has been especially helpful as I admit to being lazy with applying body lotion over my entire body every day. I am already noticing that my skin is less dry overall and I know I have this skin care supplement to thank. My arms and legs are not flaking like they usually do in the winter, and my entire body is starting to look and feel softer and smoother.

The proprietary blend of ingredients in the Imedeen Time Perfection® marine complex provides elements important for both skin’s structure and moisture. It includes:

  • 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. 

Imedeen® can be purchased online at imedeen.us/shop where it sells for $77.00, with larger quantities discounted.

StriVectin–AR™ Advanced Retinol Night Treatment.

What happens when you marry two significant anti-aging ingredients in one? You get a powerful product, and that is just what the latest from StriVectin is. Simply, the new StriVectin–AR™ Advanced Retinol Night Treatment combines NIA-114™ with Retinol to make a product that is faster and smarter. That is what I want when it comes to anti-aging treatments.

Why you should be using a retinol night treatment in your anti-aging routine.

I am sure you have heard of Retinol and just how powerful of an ingredient it is. Retinol is the usual go-to ingredient of scientists and dermatologists, and that is why you see it in so many products. It is a form of Vitamin A that is essential for skin cell turnover and growth. NIA-114™ is StriVectin's patented molecule. It is one of the most active forms of Niacin, and helps to strengthen the skins barrier as it gets down deeper into skins layers. So when these two ingredients are combined, the Retinol gets deeper into the layers of the skin with NIA-114™ , where you want it to work. The end result is a treatment that significantly reduces the appearance of deep-set wrinkles and fine lines, hydrates and deeply nourishes the skin, even the skins tone, makes firmness stronger, and refines texture.

I have been using StriVectin–AR™ Advanced Retinol Night Treatment for just over two weeks now. I use it at night only, after my serum and before my night-time moisturizer. Almost immediately I have noticed my skin take on a more radiant and youthful look. I cannot quite put my finger on it, but as my skin tone is much more even and firm, it just looks better. As I continue to use it, I expect to see at least some of the results that were found in clinical studies following 12 weeks of use:

  • 26X improvement in skin tone
  • 7X improvement in wrinkles
  • 4X improvement in skin firmness
  • 3X improvement in texture

If my early results are any indication, this is an anti-aging product that I will continue to use.

StriVectin–AR™ Advanced Retinol Night Treatment comes in one large 1.7 oz. size, and retails for $109.00. I use about the size of a dime to completely cover my face and neck. Shop online at strivectin.com or at Nordstrom.

Kiehl's Powerful Wrinkle Reducing Cream Collection.

 

Hey, if it is going to promise to reduce wrinkles, I am all over it. And I am totally all over this brand new trio of creams from Kiehl's - Powerful Wrinkle Reducing Cream, Powerful Wrinkle Reducing Eye Cream and Powerful Wrinkle Reducing Cream Broad Spectrum SPF30.

The Powerful Wrinkle Reducing Cream's were created to significantly improve elasticity, which in turn diminishes the look of fine lines, wrinkles and pores. The super smart Kiehl's chemists knew that to reduce wrinkles and address elasticity, they needed to focus on the skin's fiber network, which lives right beneath the skin's surface. The key ingredient is Copper, but also includes a mix of Calcium PCA and Apricot Kernel The formula works to reduce wrinkles, improve elasticity and protect the skin's moisture barrier to dramatically improve the skin's appearance.

I knew this cream was special when I simply rubbed a small amount of the Powerful Wrinkle Reducing Cream onto my hand. It instantly looked better. The cream itself is pretty thick, but sinks into skin quickly, while keeping it feeling hydrated. It really is comforting. I love that is pretty much scent free too. As I have used it every night over the past ten days, I have noticed my skin taking an overall better look. I am really hoping to see much needed improvement on my neck, as I have totally lost a lot of elasticity there. Time and more use will tell, and I will be sure to post an update.

To get the ultimate benefit, use the Powerful Wrinkle Reducing Cream Broad Spectrum SPF30 with the Powerful Wrinkle Reducing Eye Cream during the day, then again the Powerful Wrinkle Reducing Eye Cream and then the Powerful Wrinkle Reducing Cream at night.

The face creams retail for $52.00 each, with the eye cream costing $42.00. Shop at all Kiehl's locations, and online at kiehl's.com.
