You see it on the shelves at your drugstore. But have you looked deep into Aveeno. I swear this line is worthy of a department store. And they recently launched two new products in their Positively Ageless line. It consists of a Rejuvenating Serum and Night Cream.

Both of these treatments are formulated with a natural Shiitake Complex. This complex self adjusts to everyone’s unique skins chemistry to visibly reduce the signs of aging. You see, everyone’s skin has a unique pattern of aging – almost like a fingerprint. So self-adjusting anti-aging treatments just may be the answer to younger-looking skin.

The Positively Ageless Rejuvenating Serum should be used daily to accelerate cell renewal. The silky fluid absorbs quickly and is designed to be used in addition to your existing skin care routines. This retails for $19.99

The Positively Ageless Night Cream goes beyond moisturization to help reduce the signs of aging. While you sleep, this cream will work to help accelerate the skins cell renewal process as well. It absorbs quickly, and leaves skin feeling smooth too. This retails for $19.99.

There are more products in Aveeno’s Positively Ageless line including a Daily Exfoliating Cleanser and Daily Moisturizer.

You will see in the far right hand side bar that I started a poll, asking your age. Please click on your age range and hit submit.

Not only will this help me to know the ages of my readers, it will also help me gauge many of the posts I write.

It will only take a second, I promise. And no one will know it is you, so don’t be shy.

How old are you?

A friend of mine, in her fifties, had a thread lift last year. I saw her about a week after the procedure, and I noticed some swelling to her cheeks. I honestly thought that maybe she had just had her wisdom teeth pulled, and thought not much more of it. Then a month or so later when we got together, she had two dimples on each of her upper cheeks, on each side, so four in total. I then had to ask her what she did. She explained that she had a countour thread lift, and wondered if I thought it was too tight. Her doctor wanted her to wait out a full three months before making any adjustments, but she ultimately decided on getting the threads loosened, just about two months after the initial procedure. Once loosened, she had a bit of swelling again, but within about a week, her face looked back to normal – just a bit more refreshed.

She was pleased with the procedure, saying that it caused little discomfort.

One of this season’s trends is the fuller looking eyebrow. But this look does take some maintenance.

Enter Anastasia’s Brows In Bloom – a must-have grooming kit for keeping newly grown-out brows perfect all the time.

Brows In Bloom ($28) is comprised of:
*Two Brow Powders to custom blend the most natural brow color
*An Angled Brush for clean and precise application
*A Cream Highlighter for application along the brow bone to lift and accentuate eyes
* Wax Cream to hold a perfect shape from day to night

And the look wouldn’t be perfect without a pair of her famed tweezers ($28). They make tweezing so easy and virtually pain free, and are in fact the only tweezers I have used over the last few years.

You can get the kit and/or the tweezers at my favorite Sephora.

It is a fact that cellulite is a progressive condition that may worsen over time and with age.

In my never ending quest to look as young as I feel, I am going to start doing something about this damn cellulite that is really starting to creep up on the back of my thighs.

Enter, CelluliteRx. I am trying out this 3 step system from Institut’ DERMed.
The 3 steps to the system:
Step 1 – LipoSmooth Body Polish
Step 2 – LipoTherm Contour Cream
Step 3 – LipoLift Firming Cream

I have been going over the instructions, and plan to start treatment tonight with the handy dandy Body Massager tool that will aid in circulation of the creams.

I have the Travel Kit, which includes the massager, and tubes of product for each of the 3 steps. This travel kit retails for $79.

I will be sure to update you with my thoughts after I have used it for a few weeks. I can’t wait to see the results!

Here is a quick summary of what he highlights:
* It is a simple fact that radiant, more youthful skin demands proper external care plus adequate vitamin and mineral intake to provide nourishment to developing skin cells.
* Optimal consumption of nutrients is an essential, but often overlooked, step in enhancing the texture and beauty of the skin.
* In the past few years, studies have revealed the optimal doses of various compounds required to help the body manufacture the smoothest, softest and most radiant skin, as well as minimize the formation of wrinkles and slow other characteristics of skin aging.
* Ingestion of antioxidant vitamins and minerals from supplements has been shown to protect skin cells from free-radical damage induced by overexposure to ultraviolet light and various harmful environmental chemicals.
* Supplementation with specific doses of vitamin C, vitamin E, betacarotene, lycopene, selenium and zinc may boost the body’s ability to intercept and neutralize free radicals, defending skin cells from many of these damaging effects.
* A properly designed high-potency multivitamin and mineral that is fortified with optimal levels of specific antioxidant vitamins and minerals can help protect the skin from free-radical damage.
* Deficiencies of the B vitamins produce various forms of dermatitis (skin inflammation problems), including lack of skin smoothness, seborrhoea-like scaly lesions, and/or irregular pigmentation.
* While beneficial for limiting skin problems associated with aging, daily supplementation with a high-potency multiple vitamin and mineral can help address other body areas prone to aging and environmental damage.
* For instance, a good multi-vitamin can provide the body with the right blend and doses of nutrients needed to enhance nail hardness and the sheen and quality of hair.
* The daily ingestion of a high-potency multiple vitamin and mineral supplement is an important aspect of skincare and health promotion.
