#CLARINS PURE MELT CLEANSING GEL - This oil cleasing gel with Marula oil is the perfect duo combination if you love to double-cleanse your skin every night. I usually follow with a milky cleanser in the winter season and with a foaming cleanser in the warmer months. 

*RETAIL $37.00 - http://bit.ly/2jenhwE 

#NEOSTRATA AquaYouth Filling Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream - This is one of my personal favorite eye creams because it contains hyaluronic acid which works in two ways by adding hydration and minimizing fine lines around the eye contour area. Suitable for sensitive skin and will not cause milia under the eyes. 

*RETAIL $37.00 - http://bit.ly/2juFkQ1

#CLINIDERM HydraComfort Hydrating Serum - This serum provides immediate hydration, I recommend it for any skin type that lacks moisture, feels dry and tight and has visible dehydration fine lines on the surface. Its gel-like texture penetrates rapidly into the skin for a smooth and dewy appearance. 

*RETAIL $35.00 - http://bit.ly/2jeAju7

 #LAROCHEPOSAY HYDRAPHASE UV SPF30 - This product is also available in SPF15. This moisturizer is great because it offers a built-in sunscreen protection which upon application does not feel heavy or greasy on the skin. Contains long-lasting hydrating and anti-aging ingredients such as glycerin, thermal spring water and sodium hyaluronate to keep the skin looking young and plump.

RED CARPET MAKE-UP FOR SEXY CAT EYES, GLOWING SUN KISSED SKIN & KISSABLE HOT RED LIPS

WHERE YOU CAN PURCHASE

Last night I did some makeup shopping after work at Shoppers Drug Mart in Toronto. The Skin Perfect Primer from Dermalogica is not available for sale there but I wanted to include it in the mix since it is an amazing must have skin care  product. These cosmetics can also be found at other large retailer Beauty Suppliers and online websites.

WHY YOU SHOULD BUY THEM

I have chosen these cosmetic products because I use them on a regular basis on myself and with my clients at the spa.  I also retail them at the Shoppers Drug Mart Beauty Counter where I help women choose the right cosmetic products for their skin type. I only promote and endorse brands, skin care products and  cosmetics that I know work well, give the "results" they promise and have a good mix of active ingredients that are not harmful to my Skin Health.

CLARINS ANTI-AGING MOISTURISER FOR THE MODERN AGED WOMAN 50+

I recently attended a Beauty Seminar and Cocktail Party for the launch of CLARINS Super Restorative Day Cream Moisturiser.

I was very happy with their product presentation and excited about the Benefits and Star formula ingredients that will sure put this product jar among the best sellers for all the Clarins aficionados!

Even though, this cream moisturiser is not for my age as yet, I am excited about it because it contains a cocktail of powerful ingredients that I am very passionate about in my own Anti-aging skin care products that I use now and have benefited enormously.

The Super Restorative Day Cream comes in an All Skin Types and for Very Dry Skin mix designed for women aged 50+.

Its powerful mix of key ingredients; Organic Harungana extract, Pearl Powder minerals, Hyaluronic acid, Shea butter and Vitamin C assist in three main functions:

1. REPLUMP - the surface of the skin so it is more radiant, plump and beautiful

2. REGENERATE - the epidermis layer of the skin and cells so deep wrinkles, furrows and facial features look smoother

3. REPLENISH - kickstart the function of the weakened fibroblasts in the dermis layer responsible for the synthesis of Collagen and Elastin fibers so the face can regain its "bounce back" aspect. Normally at the age of 50, women are affected by Menopause which leads to a drop of Estrogen levels resulting in an accelerated aging process.

Triggers and Causes associated with the aging and damaging of skin cells to look out for are:

Stress levels might be higher causing more inflammation in the skin cells and organs in the body.

Lifestyle habits and Environmental physical skin damage are more prominent and is very essential to take care of them to prevent further skin damage, aging as well as other skin conditions.

Proper Nutrition accompanied with the right amount of vital Vitamin supplements, natural Herbal remedies and a way to Relax and Unwind are also very important.

These facts of what takes place in the different layers of the skin may sound a little bit depressing and scary at times, but I am glad that there are powerful ingredients, skin care products and treatments out there in the market for women to help them out prolong their youth, prevent many of the inevitable signs of aging and allow them to feel Beautiful & Fabulous!
