Yes, indeed, beauty is skin-deep

Are you tired of seeing facial lines multiplying by the day in the most visible places?  Fine lines around the eyes, especially on the corners, deep lines on the forehead, between the brows, sometimes forming a number eleven, and, my pet peeve of all, around the mouth area.  Your once–upon-a-time kissable lips are now attracting your husband’s attention not because he wants to kiss you but because of the fine lines (or deep lines, as in the case of smokers) around them.  Of course, there are injectibles like botox and other fillers to remedy the situation, but there are people who shudder at the thought of needles probing their faces, and those procedures can be very costly for most.

During a visit to Rustan’s Essenses to replace my depleted Phyto leave-on conditioner for dry hair, I also checked out the latest on Dr. Nicholas Perricone’s cosmeceuticals. I am a firm believer in Dr. Perricone’s holistic approach to skin problems which he treats three ways: diet, (which you can read in his books The Perricone Weight Loss Diet and  Dr. Perricone’s 7 Secrets to Beauty, Health and Longevity), nutriceutical supplements, and his awardwinning line of skincare products.  The effects of this program are not only visible externally but will enhance your life with better overall health and increased energy. With his introduction of the brain-beauty connection, we have the materialization of skincare’s current phenomenon: neuropeptides.  Neuropeptides instantly relax lines and wrinkles.  Two other remarkable ingredients of Dr. Perricone’s products are DMAE which firms, tones, contours, and lifts the appearance of the skin, and phospholipids which help repair and hydrate the skin.

Of Dr. Perricone’s products, my two favorites are the Deep Wrinkle Serum to address my problem of fine lines around the eye and mouth area and the Cold Plasma to firm the face, jowls, and neck area.  At a certain age, the skin loses its elasticity and needs all the external help it can get to give it a semblance of what it was before.

The Deep Wrinkle Serum is a powerful and unique facial serum that rapidly smooths lines and wrinkles for a radiant and more youthful appearance.  It has been clinically proven to help improve the overall look and feel of the skin, with visible benefits within just five minutes of application. Deep flaws are instantly minimized, skin texture is improved, and the skin appears healthy and radiant. It delivers long-lasting antiaging benefits that are cumulative with continued use.  What is remarkable about this powerful wrinkle eraser is that it is free from toxic ingredients like synthetic waxes, fillers, fragrances, and parabens.  

What it did for my skin: The fine lines around my mouth and eyes are fast diminishing, which is a big factor for me. It has also improved the texture of my skin!

If one has to use only one cream, le must cream du jour is the Cold Plasma. It addresses the 10 visible signs of aging in one product — firmness, elasticity, clarity, radiance, smoothness, texture, redness, blotchiness, fine lines, wrinkles, and dryness.  Based on testimonies, this cream gives the following benefits: delivers optimum cellular nutrition to achieve healthy, glowing, youthful skin via the pure patented phospholipids delivery system that releases actives into the skin cells; delivers powerful anti-inflammatory effects to help slow the visible signs of aging with advanced neuropeptides technology; lifts and firms skin with DMAE, which helps stimulate nerve function, causing the muscles under the skin to contract and tighten to prevent and preserve skin sagging; helps brighten skin’s appearance with L-Tyrosine, and amino acid; preserves skin’s youthfulness and provides superior hydration with DHA, a powerful essential amino acid.

The magic potions: Deep Wrinkle Serum and Cold Plasma by Dr. Perricone, available at Rustan’s Essenses

Seems like an all-in-one magic potion, but it truly is worth trying. It has a cumulative effect, meaning the skin gets better and better the more one uses the product.

What it did for me: Since I used the product, I stopped using thick foundation as my skin’s natural glow (which disappeared for sometime) was restored.  My skin is more hydrated now, therefore more supple and softer.

You only have one face to protect and if you have not been doing it yet, it’s time to do it now.  Try Dr. Perricone’s Cosmeceuticals as they are devoid of harmful ingredients and can only do magic for one’s skin!
