I have three favorite products in the Dr. LeWinn by Kinerase line, and Dr. LeWinn by Kinerase Lift & Resculpt Serum XK is one of them (the other two: DLBK Skin Tone Perfecting Serum XK, and DLBK Lip Resulpt 3D, review coming soon). I tend to approach a lot of lifting products with some skepticism, in that many I’ve tried make my skin dry and tight rather than lifted and dewy. However, Lift & Resculpt Serum XK goes beyond its firming promise.

Much like Caudalie Vinexpert Firming Serum, DLBK Lift and Resculpt Serum XK moisturizes and soothes as it perks up your skin. More importantly, it plumps up the volume of your facial contours. When I’m evaluating a firming product, there are certain facial contours that really show if a product is working or not: the top of the cheekbone just where it meets your undereye, the tip of the nose, and the area right above my eyebrows. Lift and Resculpt Serum XK knocks it out of the park on all three (and then some).
I like that Lift and Resculpt produced an immediate boosting and volumizing effect on the skin and with continued use skin gets smoother and more youthfully plump. The most dramatic effect I saw was on the nasal tip. The tip of your nose is one of those weird areas that subtly show aging – the slightest, most subtle sagging shows and can add years to your looks. It’s really not an area of sagging that you notice over time, but when it’s corrected, it makes a world of difference. Now, I’m in my early 30s and have used retinols forever, so I don’t have a ton of sagging, but DLBK Lift and Resculpt XK brought the tip of my nose up about an eighth of an inch. That is a HUGE improvement. That’s enough to remove any shadow that your nose casts on your cupid’s bow, which should be an area that light hits, not cast in shadow. It’s subtle, it won’t look like you went in for rhinoplasty, you will just look fresher, more awake, brighter, and like you did when you were 18.
I’m also impressed with the lift it gives to the area above the eyebrows, and as a result, the upper eye area. Again, plumping up the skin volume here is crucial since it dictates how your eyebrows and eye skin will drape. Adding some lift and volume here with Lift and Resculpt Serum makes eyes look wide awake and frames eyebrows fantastically. Definitely makes me keep up with regular eyebrow shaping when the area can look as good! It also adds amazing volume to cheeks – you know how the fat that used to sit on top of your cheekbones manages to travel south over time? Lift & Resculpt brings it back to the top of your cheekbones where it belongs!
We also tried it out on the Style Dude for a few weeks, and his jawline and chin bounced back to their youthful tautness! This is actually a great product for guys – no floral scent (mildly citrus but doesn’t linger) and isn’t sticky. It’s also soothing enough that it would be great post-shave.
DLBK Lift & Sculpt Serum XK boasts amazing ingredients – Kinetin, which is in all Dr. LeWinn by Kinerase products, Resveratrol, a fantastic antioxidant, and Hyaluronic Acid, which increases water absorbtion in the skin and keeps skin supple. There are also peptides and extracts to increase collagen production and target elastin fibers in the skin, so you have firm, youthful skin!
We really love Dr. LeWinn by Kinerase Lift & Resculpt Serum XK – it is so gentle and can be included in your skincare regime without risking irritation. You will see fantastic results quickly, and the results will increase over time. It’s one impressive product!

I spent a couple of months this Spring speculating how long it would be before it would be warm enough that I could leave the gym with post-shower wet hair. There is just something kind of liberating about washing your hair, putting it up with a hair stick, and heading on your way. And over the past month or so, Lyn and I have started drying our hair less. Sometimes we let our hair air dry all the way, sometimes most of the way and then a quick style with a blowdryer, sometimes we pull out our handy dry shampoos.
Makeup can be messy sometimes. Powder makeup is a big offender in this regard, especially Mineral Makeup. There’s something a little weird about a range of products that you are supposed to shake the majority of the product off the brush, right? Of course, that never stops us from shaking off the product onto our vanity tables, other products, makeup mirrors, and clothes, does it?
