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.

New Year, New You: Revitalize from the Inside Out.

I don't just have some new year resolutions, I am making some life changes this year. I have to. Besides heading to the gym more, I plan to revitalize from the inside out. I am going to be taking care of myself better.

I plan to change the way I eat for the better. I am going to incorporate more nutritious rich foods into my diet. I am cutting out sweets - plain and simple. I certainly had my fill of them over the holidays. I am tired of the sugar crash and just need to avoid them all together. Along with exercise, that should take care of my body ((I hope)).

Another important thing I am doing is concentrating on my skin more. I am going to drink my eight full glasses of water a day. It just makes me look and feel better when I do. I just get too busy and forget to keep drinking, but I am going to make it a point to hydrate! I am also taking Imedeen Time Perfection® twice a day to help my skin in ways that skin care can't. I introduced you to this anti-aging supplement last month.  It has become an important part of my anti-aging routine and totally fits with my revitalize from the inside out plan.

Skin care products can not get deep enough into the layers of the skin to actually change it.  The top layer is called the epidermis and this is where skincare creams work. The dermis, the layer beneath the surface, contains all the skin’s building blocks – collagen, elastin and essential moisture retaining elements. It’s here in the dermal layer that Imedeen® works throughout the entire body to strengthen and improve the skin’s invisible building blocks. It does this with targeted nutrients that help skin retain moisture and suppleness.

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.

Are you doing all you can to help your skin help itself? Take the Lifestyle Skin Assessment to find out which IMEDEEN® anti-aging supplement is right for you. Let's revitalize from the inside out together.

This post is part of a sponsored campaign hosted by the makers of Imedeen®. While all opinions stated are my own, I make no claims about Imedeen® as a product or its effectiveness. I received compensation and a 90-day supply of Imedeen Time Perfection®  for this post.

M·A·C Mineralize Volcanic Ash Exfoliator is Here for Good.

Sometime in 2008, I became obsessed with this giant black tub of black gooey goodness from M·A·C, the Volcanic Ash Exfoliator. I lathered on this thick, black pasty scrub and fell for it, in a big way. As my skin was left so pure and clean, refreshed and generally feeling amazing after using it, it quickly became a part of my regular routine. Until, that is, it was gone.

M·A·C Mineralize Volcanic Ash Exfoliator has come and gone a few times in different collection and it always sold out. Luckily, it is back again, and it is back for good. M·A·C Mineralize Volcanic Ash Exfoliator is now a part of M·A·C’s permanent skincare line.

Th official word:

M·A·C Mineralize Volcanic Ash Exfoliator is newest addition to M·A·C’s permanent skincare line. A unique mineralized foaming scrub containing natural volcanic ash and fine sugar crystals to exfoliate. Utilizes ultra-fine particles that intensely and deeply cleanse the pores. Suitable for all skin types, the exfoliator acts as a moisturizer while also absorbing excess oil from the skin. Improves the application of makeup and keeps skin smooth and texture even.
