Neck Tissue Repair

19 May

One of the things I worry about with the whole anti-aging process is having a neck that looks like a turkey!  Have you every noticed those women that have great skin on their faces and their necks look 100 years older?  I really want to avoid that in my old age…So, in try to avoid gravity and neck wrinkles, I have been using Kate Somerville Neck Tissue Repair Cream With Peptide K8 ($150 www.katesomerville.com).  The science behind Peptide K8 is that it is supposed to reduce the volume, density, and depth of fine lines and wrinkles.  I have seen this in a lot of products lately.  The other benefits of K8 is that it helps with texture and elasticity of the skin.  Other ingredients help firm and tone as well as make the skin soft and smooth.  One benefit is that the jojoba and macadamia nut help keep the skin moisturized and prevent water loss.  When putting this on you only want  to move this in an upward motion.  I even put this on my bust line because I figure I need all the help I can get!  You need one pump and move it in an upward motion toward your face to help activate the ingredients.  The smell is divine and subtle so you won’t be smelling it all day long.  If you are worried about looking saggy and wrinkly from the neck down, try this cream you won’t be disappointed!

Smooth Skin In an Instant

30 Dec

The best way to get smooth skin is by exfoliating and getting rid of dead skin cells.  However, that usually means using some sort of scrub, which I don’t particularly care for.  They usually just make my skin feel sticky and I don’t really feel like they do all that much.  Last Fall I started using Kate Somerville’s ExfoliKate Body ‘Intensive Exfoliating Treatment ($65 www.katesomerville.com) and it is the BEST way to get smooth skin.  You can simply rub it on your body in circular motions with your hands, sponge, mitt or use your Clarisonic Body Brush.  Once it is on you can leave it on your skin for up to two minutes.  You WILL feel a slight tingle which is the fruit enzymes smoothing the skin, it doesn’t hurt at all, it feels like a spa treatment.  Then you simply rinse it off and you will notice you already have smoother skin!  I love this product because it doesn’t only help with getting smooth skin but it helps prep your legs for shaving and prevents ingrown hairs.  This is good to use before you apply any “fake” tanning products to the skin, it will make your tan last longer and it will also remove any tanning products you have applied to your skin.  The ingredients include: caffeine which stimulates and oxygenates the skin, gentle acids polish the skin and refine the texture, fruit enzymes smooth the skin, and essential oils soothe the skin.   It may seem pricey but the tube is 5oz. and you only use it once or twice a week.  I hope you try it, I know you will love it as much as I do!
