Oil of Olay Regenerist Review

June 1, 2013 by Leave a Comment

Oil of Olay Regenerist Anti Aging Benefits Oil of Olay Regenerist ReviewBeing a woman of a certain age and having indulged in my share of over tanning and skin abuse while in my teens and 20s, I am constantly on the lookout for anti-aging products. I’ve heard wonderful things about Oil of Olay’s Regenerist line but hadn’t tried any of the products until this year.

For the past several months I’ve been using the Regenerist Intensive Repair Treatment around my eyes and in the mornings, before I apply my makeup and just after I’ve showered, I use the Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Serum.

I like to think that at nearly 44 my skin looks pretty good. I’ve managed to keep wrinkles at bay and both these Oil of Olay Regenerist products absorb quickly and help dissipate that crinkly, paper thin consistency that your complexion, unfortunately, starts to take on once you’ve hit 40. I also love that you can purchase these products at your local grocery or drug store. Anti-aging products have come a long way and you don’t have to spend a fortune to have beautiful skin!

Here are some details about the Micro-Sculpting Serum:

  • Formulated with advanced amino-peptide complex and hydra-firming complex.
  • Helps retain skin’s youthful surface contours
  • Moisturizes to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Fast-absorbing. Non-greasy. Dermatologist tested. Non-comedogenic.
  • Suitable for Normal, Dry and Combination Skin.

I’ve been using the Regenerist Intensitve Repair Treatment around the delicate skin surrounding my eyes (although it is recommended for use on any of your trouble zones.) Here are more details:

  • • In 8 weeks the look of age spots, fine lines and wrinkles are reduced
  • • Hydrates to repair the moisture barrier
  • • This is the only Regenerist line product that includes Pro-Retinol
  • • Dermatologically tested

I’ve been pleased overall with both these products. The only negative thing I can add is that they don’t have any type of fragrance at all. I’m kind of a sucker for a nice, subtle and clean fragrance in any type of skincare product.

All in all, I’d recommend these products for women in their late 30s and early 40s who want to start out with a great, basic anti-aging skincare routine!

One of the best perqs about buying these products now is they are fully guaranteed. If you don’t like them, you will receive all your money back (purchases must be of an Olay Regenerist moisturizer or cleanser, purchased in the U.S. or Canada on or after October 1, 2011. Mailed receipts must be postmarked by June 30, 2013 so now is the time to try these products out!

Have you tried Oil of Olay Regenerist products? What are your favorites?

Natural Skincare Line derma e Age-Defying Night Creme Review

April 21, 2013 by Leave a Comment

Now that I’m in my 40s I’m very cognizant of trying to reverse all the damage I did to my skin when I was in my teens and 20s that I admittedly never thought anything about. Remember “laying out” and using baby oil, no sunscreen and hitting the tanning bed? If you were a teen during the 80s I’m sure you do! Using a night treatment for my face is now part of my evening routine to banish the effects of years of not being so nice to my skin.

I’ve tried several anti-aging products before and derma e‘s Age-Defying Night Creme is one of the best products I’ve used. The derma e line is a 4-time recipient of the Best Skin Care Products award from Whole Foods Magazine and includes more than 90 products.

derma e’s Age-Defying Night cream is free of parabens, phthalates, sodium lauryl sulfates and, like all derma e products, is 100% vegan and cruelty-free. It’s two powerful ingredients are Astaxanthin, which is 500 times more powerful than Vitamin E in neutralizing free radicals, and Pycnogenol, 50 times more potent than Vitamin E in fighting free radical damage. Essential lavender oil provides a fresh, clean scent to this night cream that’s fortified with hydrating Jojoba Oil, as well as nourishing Vitamins A and E.

You know the sign of a good skin care product? You literally use it down to the last drop! I think my skin looks pretty darn good for 43 and this night creme has definitely made a difference in helping reduce fine lines and wrinkles around my eyes, especially.

derma e’s Age-Defying Night Cream packaging has changed…but the fantastic ingredients have stayed the same.

I received a 2-ounce jar of derma e’s Age-Defying Night Cream in September and it lasted about 3 1/2 months (with me using it nightly). Despite the name, this night cream is not too heavy or greasy, absorbing immediately. It retails for $39.50 (and is on sale on the derma e website right now for $34.50) and I can honestly say it’s one of the best night-time skin moisturizers I’ve ever used! If you’re looking for a natural age-defying moisturizer for nighttime, I’d highly recommend it.

Another great thing about derma e is their three-tiered charitable program, The Paraguay Project, which helps support the people, rainforest, and land of Paraguay.  derma e® purchases beautiful, hand-crafted Spiderweb Lace at a fair market price directly from co-ops in Paraguay, sells them to U.S. boutiques and online, and donates full profits as well as a percentage of all product sales to three non-governmental organizations: Guyra Paraguay, Clyde E. Bay Foundation and GlobaI Infancia.

Provella: Keeping Busy Moms Healthy #Giveaway

April 19, 2013 by 18 Comments

I’ve always tried to stay fairly healthy, make healthy choices about diet and exercise, and focus on maintaining balance as a working mom.

Now that I’m in my 40s I”m finding that I need to take even better care of myself. Unfortunately I don’t always take time to exercise and eat well like I should between working outside the home (with a new more full-time schedule that I’m still getting accustom to) and shuttling my girls to school, soccer games, soccer practice, and Girl Scouts events and meetings! Life is crazy and sometimes my health and well being takes a back seat even though I know it shouldn’t. I want to stay healthy and active and build my immune system.

My niece is a vegan and very into wellness and through her I’ve heard about probiotics, but only recently did some research to find out how they can help me. It turns out that probiotics like Provella™ Probiotics are a great way for me to maintain a healthy balance and to promote proper digestive, immune and feminine health.

Provella Probiotics Provella: Keeping Busy Moms Healthy #Giveaway

What exactly are Probiotics? Probiotics are live microorganisms, usually bacteria, that are taken as a supplement for their health benefits. There are many different microorganisms that naturally help the body work properly, including bacteria that aid in food digestion and absorption of nutrients. Probiotics contain that same good bacteria that aids the body in maintaining its natural health function.

Provella™ Probiotics are specifically designed for women, with a proprietary blend of six specific bacterial strains that benefit women. And with the Provella™  patented controlled-release technology, the probiotics aren’t harmed by stomach acid. This means that more live organisms reach the intestines and can begin working to support proper digestion.
