This cream does an excellent job of moisturizing, tightening, firming, and soothing your skin. It also helps to prevent your skin from exposure to the environment by creating a natural barrier between your delicate skin and environmental damage. Restore Anti-Aging Cream also feels great on your skin, leaving it strengthened and hydrated.

I love the promises that Kimberly Sayer makes for her product. Restore Anti-Aging Cream contains Borage Oil, which fortifies cell growth, and a special vegetable extract that helps to strengthen collagen fibers and gets rid of free radicals. The cream also contains non-comedogenic Hawaiian Sea Algae, which helps your skin to hold moisture and infuses it with valuable nutrients.

I like to put this cream on before I put on my make-up because it keeps my skin feeling strong and refreshed for the whole day. I love it because I know that as I go out and about, my skin is being strengthened and the years are being firmed away! The cream works for me in the morning or at night, depending on how I feel that day.

Kimberly Sayer’s Restore Anti-Aging cream is a wonderful, versatile cream to include in your fight against aging skin. Kimberly Sayer uses quality ingredients and her extensive research to create products that are great for women who want to stay beautiful.

The cream is luxurious feeling but not heavy (the formula is a gel cream), so you don’t feel like you have a layer of product on your skin.  Dubbed as a skin de-stressing cream, this works to increase resiliency and cellular turnover while giving the skin a naturally radiant glow from the inside out.  My skin has become smoother and over the 8 week period that I tested it moisture was increased, skin was firmed and fine lines were softened.  I have been using it ever since.

The Rundown:

• Nano-Claire GY, a bioengineered growth hormone-like protein that works as a “hormone replacement therapy” for the skin.
• PhytoCelTec™ Malus Domestica, stem cells from a rare Swiss Apple that have been proven to slow down and delay the aging process.
• Happybelle, a phyto-endorphin extract that comes from the cactus Monk’s Pepper combined with antioxidant and moisturizing factors to help revitalize the skin and give it a radiant glow.
• ACS (Anti-Cyto Stressor) to promote an overall bioregulation that follows and respects the cutaneous physiological mechanisms by hindering the alterations caused by stress hormone.
• Osilift, a 100% Natural sugar tensor purified fraction of oat polysaccharides that gives an immediate tensor and long term anti-wrinkle effect to the skin.

This cream is the ULTIMATE anti-aging weapon….anyone over the age of 30 should take a look.

RejuvaWand is a complete skin care system based on light technology. Using red light and infrared along with a gentle massaging action, RejuvaWand is an at home treatment used to rejuvenate the skin. This product is something you would expect to see at the dermatologists office, but this is made for easy, at-home use.

Along with the wand itself (which looks sort of like a vibrator with a light on one end of it), the system includes a base for the wand to charge in, a gel that is supposed to be used with the wand, and a three step skin care system including a cleanser, toner, and moisturizer.

Rejuva Gel was created to improve the transmission of light from the RejuvaWand to the skin. Water soluble and smooth to the touch it also makes for effortless movement of the RejuvaWand over the areas being treated. The gel’s key ingredient, Hyaluronic acid, also provides excellent skin hydration a core component in ongoing care of the skin.

Rejuva Cleanse is a mild, nourishing cleanser that contains healing aloe and beneficial antioxidants. It can be safely used twice a day on dry, oily or normal skin. Rejuva Cleanse is gentle and hydrating, and may also be used to remove makeup.

Rejuva Tone is a refreshing, alcohol-free toner that can be used twice daily, after cleansing, on all skin types. Its aloe and botanical-enriched formula helps to purify, condition and rehydrate youre skin; while gently deep-cleaning your pores.

Rejuva Moist skin plays a critical role in reversing the visible signs of sun damage and ageing. Rejuva Moist with SPF 20 is the third and final element in the RejuvaWand Skincare System. This high-performance moisturizer contains anti-aging ingredients and antioxidants to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

I cannot wait to try the RejuvaWand! I am patiently waiting as the wand is charging in it’s base as I write this. As soon as the light indicates that the wand is fully charged, I will do my first treatment.

Stay tuned to Aging Fabulous, as I will keep you updated as I go along, and plan to bring you some before and after pictures, along with a short video of me using the wand.

In the mean-time I found a great little YouTube video that tells you more about it.

If you would like to join me in the experiment, you can order RejuvaWand right from the website. The system costs $199.80 if you make one signle payment or you can split it up over five months for just $49.95 each payment, where it will cost you a total of $249.75 The company does offer a 30-Day Free Trial with you just paying the shipping and handling up front, so you have nothing to lose in order to at least try it out. Visit rejuvawand.com for all the details.

The product I have been slathering on my legs when baring my gams is LORAC TANtalizer. This is a Body Bronzing Luminizer, that smoothes on over my legs, leaving them beautifully bronzed and toned, with a hint of shimmer. And I say just a hint, because it is not an obvious one, just a beautiful, almost sheen-like finish. It has a very enjoyable light pina colada scent, not overpowering at all.

TANtalizer dries completely in just a few minutes, and is pretty much streak and transfer free.

I have been using a total of four products in the Bright Expert (power)System.

Unique Lancôme technology targets damaged surface cells to reduce the appearance of dark spots, while a combination of vitamin CG and botanical extracts helps even out and brighten the complexion.

First, I use the Intense Brightening Cleansing Foam. This foam is a great cleanser, that is not only helping to brighten and even out my skin tone, but it quickly and gently removes every trace of makeup, and dirt from my face. I follow this with Intense Brightening Toner. I love how this toner immediately starts to make my skin feel a bit “looser” and moisturized after being cleansed. It is a nice, refreshing toner, that I highly recommend be used right after cleansing. Nest, I apply the Intense Brightening Spot Correcting Serum. This serum is the core of the line, and a must-have product for us that are serious in diminishing our spots. I take a teeny, tiny amount and rub it in over the areas that need the most fading. The difference is dramatic, as I can notice fading where I apply the serum more than anywhere else. Finally, I apply the Intense Brightening Moisturizing Night Cream just at night time. This cream is a rich cream, that hydrates well enough to last through the night, without becoming over-greasy.

Overall, I am very pleased with the way my skin tone seems to be more even, and especially how much specific areas are lighter. I will continue to use this Bright Expert Power System of products, in addition to my regular product testing. I cannot wait to see even more results as I continue to use this in the months when I am not outside so much and constantly freckling.

Caviar Extract is full of Omega-3’s including Vitamin C and Cytokines, which creates a micro circulatory effect, thus encouraging hair growth.

I had the pleasure of giving some of Alterna’s Caviar products a try. I used the Caviar Moisture Shampoo, perfect for my sun scorched colored (very dry!) hair, and the Caviar Treatment Conditioner, which is a treatment in itself. I love the fact that a small amount of products is needed, especially with the conditioner, and my hairs was instantly soft, not dry, and incredibly smooth.

The line also includes some wonderful styling products such as Styling Spray, Working Hair Spray, Molding Creme, Mousse, and my favorite, the Caviar Radiant Smoothing Lotion. All I need is one pump of this lotion in the palm of my hand, I rub it into my other hand, and smooth over my hair. My should length hair is transformed into frizz-free, smooth, super shiny, just out of the salon hair. I love it!

If you tend to over-tweeze or just have sparse brows to begin with, the queen of the eyebrows, Anastasia Soare, has created a product designed to help.

This is NuBrow. NuBrow is a clear gel that is formulated with proteins and vitamins to encourage faster hair growth, making brows fuller and thicker. IN as little as 4 – 6 weeks, you can notice the difference.

The non-greasy formula should be applied each day, even with makeup, and soon you will notice that your sparse brows are sparse no more.

While I now know that Lancôme is within my reach, and comparable in price to most other department store brands, one thing I was not wrong about is that Lancôme is luxury.

My luxurious Lancôme has one of the prettiest Summer eye palettes on the counters now. This palette is from Lancôme’s Summer Tropiques collection, titled Color Design Survival Palette. There are two color combinations for this four shadow palette. One is Summer Tropiques, which includes a beautiful green, a lilac pink, a pure pink, and a nude color. The other is named Bronzed Captive, and includes the sleekest sky blue, a nude color, a taupe, and a pretty peach.

One look at this palette will have you hooked. The palette itself, made with beautiful pearlescent shells, is what inspired the shades in each palette.

Color Design Survival Palette retails for $42.00 is available at Lancôme counters and online now.

Aah – science meets skin care. It is certainly all the rage. Take a look at their mission statement:

Our mission at SkinCeuticals is to improve skin health. Dedicated to this purpose, we make one simple promise — provide quality products backed by science.

Our dedication to developing advanced skin care backed by science has earned us a strong reputation with the medical community worldwide. SkinCeuticals provides complete skin care solutions through dermatologists, plastic surgeons, medi-spas, and other skin care professionals in the United States and in over 35 countries worldwide. These experts trust SkinCeuticals to promote skin health — not trends.

I have tried four of SkinCeuticals products based on their theory that your skin care needs can be broken down into three elements: prevention, protection, and correction.

In the morning I have been using the Foaming Cleanser, Equalizing Toner, and follow that with AOX+ Serum 15. Serum 15 neutralizes free radicals, defends against environmental damage, and helps prevent premature signs of aging. It is formulated with their AOX+ advanced antioxidant technology, which combines ferulic acid with 15% pure vitamin C to enhance the antioxidant performance.

In the evening, I have been using the Cleanser and Toner again, but follow this with Daily Moisture. Though I think I may need a more rich moisturizer, such as their Renew Overnight Dry Cream.

I have used this system for a few weeks now, and have seen a definite improvement in my skins tone and clarity. And my skin is extremely smooth feeling, especially a little while after using the Serum. I just feel that I need a moisturizer to follow the serum in the day, one with an SPF, of course. And if I changed up the night time moisturizer with the Renew as I think I should, I would continue to use the system, to see more long term benefits.
