Ageless Fantasy is the World’s first anti-age perfume.  It is designed to smell like a younger woman!  It was created to be the opposite of the rose scent which tends to be associated with an older woman (think Grandma or Great-Grandma!).  I gave it a spin around the office and had my friends try it-on.  Most folks thought the fragrance reflects a younger, more vibrant scent.

Instant Aromatherapy Headache Relief is made up of Peppermint and Geranium essential oils. Though, I like to think that this little vial contains a magical elixir that helped get rid of my hormonal headache in no time.

Studies have shown Peppermint essential oil has tension-relieving effects that can ease headaches while the Geranium essential oil is known to soothe and help you relax.

All I did was take my Motrin than rolled this on for relief. I relaxed in bed for about 20 minutes and my headache was gone. Usually, I would need longer to recover, but using this Aromatherapy wonder certainly helped get rid of it faster.

$10 is a small price to pay for this Headache Relief.

And dryness and dullness can become even more of a problem where the skin is concerned. Finding a product to work on pre-menopausal and menopausal skin can be tricky. Thank goodness for L’Oréal Paris and their knowledgeable research team. They knew this was a problem and they have recently introduced Age Perfect Re-Cushioning Serum.

loreal_age_perfect_recushio

Age Perfect Re-Cushioning Serum is a daily treatment specifically designed to reduce the signs of this bothersome menopausal and post-menopausal skin. Over time, this sophisticated serum – so lightweight it comes in a dropper (the first in a mass market product) – reinforces skin’s supporting foundation and creates a more youthful, luminous glow.

This serum feels so nice as it seems to instantly soften my face and neck skin. It seems to immediately absorb into my skin and make it feel better and look more "alive". I have been using the Re-Cushioning Serum for a few weeks now, and it will definitely stay a part of my long-term skin care routine. I use it before my wrinkle fighting creams/serums, which I do prior to applying my moisturizer.

L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Re-Cushioning Serum is available  at lorealparis.com and chain drug, food, and mass market retailers nationwide for a suggested retail price of $16.59.

As the sun is starts to shine later in the day, colors are becoming more vivid in fashion, but my skin is still dull and is in need of some major brightening. I want it to not only feel more alive after the long harsh winter, I want it to look awake, alive, and more radiant.

As I look for products to try, I stumbled on this brand new Vitamin C Power Brightening Cream SPF 25 with Vitamins E and B5  from Grassroots Research Labs.

In case you do not know about the Grassroots line, it is an Estee Lauder brand sold exclusively through Kohls and Kohls.com:

     "Grassroots is committed to bringing naturally-sourced technologies to the skincare market by continuously seeking the newest natural resources and merging them with the latest breakthroughs in science. With this commitment, Grassroots Research Labs remains at the cutting edge of skincare technology and its brand promise as “the future of skincare.”

Now, onto the good stuff, the new Vitamin C Power Brightening Cream.

grassroots_vitamin_c

This is a rich, hydrating cream with SPF 25 protection that blends into the skin to improve skin’s clarity, tone, and brightness, lessen the appearance of age/ dark spots and improve barrier strength.

Formulated with Vitamin C, this ingredient is found most abundantly in citrus fruits indigenous to sun intensive climates, known to help protect skin and reduce the appearance of discolorations and age spots. Discolorations and age spots which are triggered by the sun - result from uneven accumulations of pigment in the skin’s surface layers.  These pigment clusters are a key cause of uneven skin tone and visible skin aging.  Applying Vitamin C topically can help reduce the appearance of these discolorations. This potent cream contains 10% of a 4-fruit blend containing Mandarin orange, Bitter orange, Grapefruit and Lemon. In addition, a powerful combination of other protective vitamins including Vitamin E and B5 were added to protect your skin against the effects of free radicals and increases moisture in the skin.

Vitamin C Power Brightening Cream SPF 25 with Vitamins E and B5 also contains a broad spectrum UVA/ UVB protection with SPF 25 to provide essential protection from the sun’s aging UVA and damaging UVB rays.

Get your dose of Vitamin C at Kohls stores and Kohls.com for $32.50.

The latest place to sag is definitely under my eyes. A lift is on order. And because I do not want to go with any type of surgical procedure, I am determined to find a topical product that works it magic on me.

I noticed this today, and this is now on my must-try list. PerriconeMD High Potency Eye Lift.

"PerriconeMD High Potency Eye Lift provides amplified lifting and reparative benefits to the delicate skin around the eyes. It firms and hydrates the skin, increases elasticity, and diminishes lines and wrinkles. Its highly effective ingredients and proprietary delivery system ensure maximum absorption for a noticeably more youthful appearance."

This 1/2 oz vial is a lot - $95. But as I have had success in using some of the PerriconeMD products in the past, I will not think twice about giving this one a try too. I’ll be back in a few weeks with an update.

Can’t make a trip to the dermatologist? Plastic surgeon? Are you giving up waxing? There are plenty of things we can do to save by doing these treatments at home.

World renowned dermatologist Dr. Patricia Wexler made an appearance on the Today Show earlier this week. She showcased my favorite Clarisonic system along with some other systems and products that can easily be used on your own - at home.
