Time Travel Skincare: Morganna’s Alchemy 10 Years in 30 Days Treatment Kit

August 7, 2018 · Leave a Comment

The other day I came across a picture from late 2007 (back then we called them pictures, not selfies.) I didn’t like the picture at the time, so I’m surprised I didn’t delete it immediately. But now, I would give my left arm to have the supple, plump, glowing, collagen-rich skin I had in that picture.

Fortunately, I get to keep both of my arms thanks to Morganna’s Alchemy 10 Years in 30 Days Treatment Kit. This innovative kit targets the major signs of aging and leaves beautiful, youthful skin. It isn’t a radical treatment regime, it is just you, but better. Ten years ago better.

While you had me at the promise of taking ten years off my face in 30 days, I have to wonder how exactly that’s going to happen. Well, we tried the kit ourselves and I am pretty impressed both with the approach and the products.

And you can try it too, enter to win your own free Morganna’s Alchemy 10 Years in 30 Days Treatment Kit in our giveaway. See the Style Chicks Instagram for details.

Want to know what makes Morganna’s Alchemy 10 Years in 30 Days Treatment Kit special? Read on!

THE PANIC OF LOOKING OLDER THAN YOU WISH TO LOOK

A certain benchmark birthday prompted me to buy and use all the anti-aging things at once. This overkill plan backfired, too many products all at once were too rough on the skin. There are many effective, fantastic products to target very specific concerns, such as wrinkles and fine lines. But in all likelihood, after the fine lines are addressed, one won’t suddenly be mistaken for once again being a high school student.

Youthful skin is more than just the absence of these signs of age. And capturing this elusive reversal in skin time requires addressing what is actually making skin look, well, not young. And it isn’t just your crows feet. This is where Morganna’s Alchemy 10 Years in 30 Days Treatment Kit comes in.

Four Products for four targeted skin objectives

WHY Morganna’s Alchemy 10 Years in 30 Days Treatment Kit WORKS

Morganna’s Alchemy 10 Years in 30 Days Treatment Kit is different than the way I thought of anti-aging skin care, but now that I have used it, I can see why other specific, targeted skin concern products couldn’t accomplish the overall appearance of youth. Despite all that I look at my face, I didn’t really understand what made me look older. I couldn’t see the forest for the trees, so to speak, and I focused only on the individual manifestations of age. That approach is shoveling against the tide, and at best leaves one looking not actually younger, but “good for their age”. I hate that phrase. Morganna’s Alchemy 10 Years in 30 Days Treatment Kit addresses both the source and the symptoms of aging skin.

This approach has an excellent success rate on targeted concerns including skin hydration, pigmented spot reduction, skin tone, skin firmness, texture, and a reduction in roughness, redness, enlarged pores, lines, and wrinkles.

WHEN AND HOW DID I STOP LOOKING YOUNG? AGING SKIN IS SNEAKY

When one thinks of aging, do you think wrinkles? Sagging? These are factors, but not entirely what makes us look older. Morganna’s Alchemy addresses the four chief factors of aging skin. The biggest factors are discoloration and roughness from sun damage, environmental pollutants causing dullness, and *THEN* crepey skin/sagging and wrinkles. The worst amongst them is sun damage and the resulting discoloration and rough skin patches. A whopping eighty percent of what ages the face. YIKES.

Want proof?

Have you seen Anthony Cerniello’s “Danielle“? It’s an artists’ simulation of a female gradually becoming older over time, the real aging of the face occurs when the discoloration and dullness happens, not the gray hair or the wrinkles. The two images below are screenshots from this video. You will notice she has some drooping, binasal folds, undereye bags, even when her face was young. Notice the big change in tone and texture in the second photo.

Digitally aged face shown young before discoloration (original video C. Anthony Cerniello)

Digitally altered face shown aged at the onset of skin discoloration.

The discoloration makes the face seem harder and sterner, doesn’t it? And the dullness makes her look so tired. The skin tone, redness, and rough patches belie age more than the wrinkles. If she used just a wrinkle cream, would she look much younger to you?

DISCOLORATION AND DULLNESS: HOW TO LOOK OLD ON PURPOSE

When makeup artists’ “age” a young actor for a movie role to make them look old, they emulate aging with applying discoloration into the contours of the face and obscure the natural vibrant look of young skin. Even wrinkles look older because of the discoloration in their valleys making them appear deeper and more prominent. So they “paint on” what sun damage and environmental factor do to skin over years of time.

So we need to stop THAT from happening ASAP. That is where Morganna’s Alchemy 10 Years in 30 Days Treatment Kit comes in.

HOW Morganna’s Alchemy 10 Years in 30 Days Treatment Kit WORKS

APPLICATION

The directions on the back of the box are simple to follow.

Apply Steps 1 and 2 in the morning before makeup, and Steps 3 and 4 in the evening before bed. The smell is natural but dissipates, my makeup went on smoothly over the products without being oily, tight or tacky. Both morning and night my skin feels and looks smooth and hydrated. I like how it makes my skin appear immediately – soft, dewy and supple.

Directions

THE FOUR PRODUCTS

STEP 1 Beauty Starts With Even Skin Tone

Morganna’s Alchemy Step 1 is to even the skin tone. The product is designed to protect the skin from sun radiation. This step alone makes a surprising difference. I hadn’t realized how much discoloration I got overtime on the top of my cheekbones and on the cheek area below the eyes, lots of little freckles and spots that made the overall contours of my face seem not like my own face. The collective impact of all those tiny discoloration spots was an overall darkening on what should be the lightest part of my face. It was as if I applied contour or bronzer where there should be a highlighter.

Sun damage causes spots, lack of firmness, and roughness. It does this with a gentle but effective natural ingredient: Lingonberry Stem Cells.

HOW DOES IT WORK? Lingonberry stem cells increase natural antioxidant mechanisms of skin cells and decrease skin irritation and inflammation, a fantastic combo when seeking to remove unwanted discoloration and get your natural skin tone back. Lingonberry is a “superfruit” rich in vitamins C and E, both excellent for repairing *AND PREVENTING* sun damage on the skin.

RESULTS: I find this product is far more gentle to the skin than other products geared towards discoloration. It does not sting or irritate my skin, even when used with other Morganna Alchemy products. My skin is not dry, itchy or peeling, but the discoloration looks much better. While I have been a sunscreen devotee since my twenties, one cannot fully escape the effects of sun damage and I am excited to see some discolored areas on my cheekbones fading.

Step 1 addresses the ravaging impact of sun damage, reversing old damage and helping to prevent new damage

STEP 2 Radiant Skin

You probably have seen gray-haired women with plenty of wrinkles and while you wouldn’t mistake them for 20, they still look younger than their years. How? Likely, their skin is vibrant, glowing and not dull. No amount of highlighter or dewy makeup trick and fake the vibrant glow of youthful skin.

Step 2 is designed to protect skin from environmental damage. It is applied once Step 1 dries down. It goes under makeup.

HOW IT WORKS: Environmental damage makes skin dull and sensitive, which leads to redness and inflammation, which in turn, makes one look older still. Fortunately, skin can recoup from environmental damage if given a chance.

RESULTS: Step 2 is a light gel that serves as a protective shield all day while it repairs and refines the skin, allowing it to get its’ glow back. I have always considered my skin sensitive, but now that I have had Step 2 as a protective barrier on my skin, I think it is more likely that my skin was aggravated by environmental irritants.

Step 2 provides a protective layer to the skin to shield it from environmental damage

Step 1 and Step 2 address issues you may or may not have realized are making skin older. Step 3 and 4 address target areas you may already be treating but may wish for better results than you have acheived to date.

STEP 3 Youthful

If you pinch your skin, what happens? Young skin snaps right back, older skin takes a bit longer. When our skin lacks moisture and loses collagen it becomes deflated, resulting in a sluggish sort of crepiness and sagging.

While there are plenty of skin-friendly ingredients in Step 3, the star of the show is Platinum, which binds to the peptide ingredients and helps them penetrate into the deepest skin layers. It is this layer where sagging can be repaired by these peptides that boost collagen production. Any collagen you can get helps, but most topicals can’t reach this deep of a skin layer, so their results are superficially helpful but not so great for reducing sagging. The deeper active ingredients like peptides can get into the skin and make collagen, the better. Once you can get hydration and peptides deep enough into the skin to re-plump or re-inflate from the lost moisture and restore the collagen, it firms up quick, sagging skin becomes up to 40% firmer in one month.

RESULTS: Skin does quickly seem more hydrated and supple. I would not have thought of myself as having dehydrated skin but I can’t argue with how much more supple it looks now. Extra collagen production gets better and better over time, I am 14 days into my 30 days as of now, and I am excited about this Platinum plus peptides collagen producing combo!

Step 3 promotes deep skin level collagen production to meaningfully reduce sagging

STEP 4 DefyAge

DefyAge tackles the issues you can likely see on your skin right now, enlarged pores, redness, fine lines. It minimizes the appearance of all of the above using Elfe Flower and Red Rose Wine to thicken skin. These anti-oxidant powerhouses not only make the skin less subject to new wrinkles but reduce large pores and redness.

RESULTS: Redness around the nostrils, and eyes sneaks up on you, and does make one look older. The idea of thickening the skin is wonderful to not only help old wrinkles but to prevent new ones.

Step 4 promotes collagen production to meaningfully reduce sagging

Step 4 also promotes collagen production and helps skin combat fine lines

CONCLUSION

So that is our impression and overview of Morganna’s Alchemy 10 Years in 30 Days Treatment Kit. What a kit! This is an easy to use system, with all-star ingredients, combined into highly effective treatments for impressive results that restore a youthful glow, remove sun damage and give a healthier look to the skin. It is effective without irritating or drying the skin, my skin was soft during the entire process, not peeling, red or irritated. It addresses skincare needs that I didn’t even realize I was missing and the result is hydrated, soft skin that looks like my skin, but lovelier and younger.

Precision Makeup Application with Miracos Makeup Essential Luxury Eye Brush Kit

August 5, 2018 · 5 Comments

Quality brushes are key to precise makeup application, especially around the eyes. Brushes are also more hygienic than dipping a finger or sponge repeatedly into a makeup jar or pan. But most of the time, the applicator brushes that come with makeup are low-quality, difficult to use, and deliver inferior results. They are in general, kind of awful. Quality brushes are hard to find and often pretty pricey, so we were pleased to find Miracos Makeup Essential Luxury Eye Brush Kit, consisting of four attractive, quality brushes with long, balanced handles in a lovely rose gold design.

From left to right: this luxury brush set includes the Miracos Makeup Eye Shadow Brush, the Blend Brush, the Dual-End Eyeliner & Brow Brush and the Flat Concealer Brush

ABOUT THE Miracos Makeup Essential Luxury Eye Brush Kit

This is a luxury brush set that can be useful to a novice makeup user or a makeup expert. The Miracos Makeup Essential Luxury Eye Brush Kit contains four luxury makeup brushes:

Dual-End Eyeliner & Brow Brush
Flat Concealer Brush
Eye Shadow Brush
Blend Brush

The rose gold tone is so pretty on my makeup table!

CONSTRUCTION & AESTHETIC

Each Miracos Makeup brush is a metallic, shiny rose gold tone and bears a simple yet elegant M insignia logo. The brushes are well-made with bristles that hold up to use and to washing without shedding. The bristles are soft on the delicate eye area but contoured well enough to get the job done.

LONG BALANCED HANDLES: Something I especially like about this Miracos Makeup set is the long, easy to grip handles that are just heavy enough to be weighted well for use, but not uncomfortable in my hand. There is an ergonomic bend to the curve for ease of grip.

Each brush has a long handle with a sloping curve inward for easy grip and balance during use

ABOUT EACH Miracos MAKEUP BRUSH IN THE SET & HOW WE USE THEM

Miracos Makeup Dual-End Eyeliner & Brow Brush

The Dual-End Eyeliner & Brow brush is intended for use on the eyebrows and creating a soft eyeliner line. One side has a large quality spoolie brow brush.

HOW I USE IT: I use the spoolie end of the brow brush both to generally groom my brows and to best apply brow product.

I first brush my brows down so I can best assess where to apply eyebrow powder, gel, liner or product. This also helps me draw in my arch.
I apply the brow product, generally a gel or cream, with the angled end applying in short, natural strokes not a straight harsh line. I find the angle and thin precision top of this Miracos brush creates a more hair-like line.
Then I brush my brows back up with the spoolie end and use the spoolie to blend in the brow product.

I find this brush down technique highly useful for filling in my arch and tail and getting a natural look that creates a strong, youthful and even brow but not full on obviously fake Joan Crawford Mommy Dearest brows.

Spoolies are also useful for applying a bit of gel or hairspray to the brows to keep them in place. In a pinch, they are also useful for combing through dry mascara for any unexpected clumps.

Spoolie end of the Miracos Makeup Dual-Ended Eyebrow and Liner Brush

The other side of the Dual-End Eyeliner & Brow Brush is an angled liner brush. The bristles are slightly stiff but not too hard for delicate skin. The angle is sharp and the bristles come to a tidy thin line for precise product application. I like how thin a line it creates and how I can place eyeliner or brow product exactly where I want it. I like it for a soft line on the lower lid.

Super-precise angled tip is soft but stiff enough to load product

2. Miracos Flat Concealer Brush

I have been guilty of sticking my finger in a pot of concealer and likely contaminating the whole thing, which is especially bad around the eye area or any blemish you are intending on concealing.

So I especially like that this Flat Concealer Brush has lots of bristles but a good contoured taper to it to get in just where you need to conceal and not get excess concealer all around the spot. It is also flat which helps me angle into position, and to tap it lightly on the skin and not rub, which is something I tend to do with my fingers, stretching my skin AND just moving product around instead of setting it in place.

The concealer brush works with creamy thick concealers or liquid to apply and blend a thin, precise layer of coverage.

The Miracos Makeup Flat Concealer Brush works with creamy thick concealers or liquid to apply and blend a thin, precise layer of coverage.

HOW I USE IT: This Flat Concealer Brush gets very nice thin layers of a liquid or creamy concealing product down on the skin without streaks. I find this useful for actual concealer placement, and especially useful for pre-concealing color corrective concealers, such as a light peach shade for purple undertone dark undereye circles, or a green tint for red acne blotches.

Ideal for applying a very thing layer of pre-concealing color correcting tone such as peach tone concealer

The Flat Concealer Brush is ideal for applying a very thin layer of pre-concealing color correcting tone such as this peach tone concealer that conceals dark circles and makes the eye look wide awake, but a thin coat is key!

Close up of using the brush to apply peach corrective concealer to an area of discoloration on the skin. Use on dark circles, acne blemishes, discoloration or small bruises to conceal.

I find the coverage of this brush, using both the thin tip and flat edge to create layers of concealer that are well blended and very buildable which makes the brush highly versatile for lighter or heavier concealer coverage needs.

3. EYESHADOW BRUSHES: The Eye Shadow Brush and Blend Brush

The eyeshadow brushes: Eye Shadow Brush and Blend Brush

Nice long handles make applying eyeshadow easy even for a novice

There are two eyeshadow brushes in this set, an Eye Shadow Brush, and a Blend Brush. The Eye Shadow Brush is seen above at the left, it is the one to use to apply color in a “packing” application on the crease. The other brush on the right is the Blend Brush, which is to blend and use on the entire eye for a base shade. This is especially useful for a smokey eye look. The brushes are soft but defined enough that color goes where I want it.

Blender Brush packed with light metallic copper shadow to blend a smoky metallic eye. I can use shimmery metallic shades without fallout because the brush holds product well

Color loads well onto these brushes, they hold product without dropping powder debris onto my cheek and undereye area.

HOW I USE IT: I use the Eye Shadow Brush for darker, intense, or brighter colors that can be messy, because I can control how much product goes on my crease and exactly where it goes.

The Eye Shadow Brush is precise enough to perform an eye makeup trick for heavy or sagging lids: By tapping it all along the contour of my crease, but just above the crease, it provides a little bit of lift to the eye, as the crease seems higher. It can also be used the traditional way of aiming for the crease itself and moving back and forth inside the crease, windshield wiper style. Blend with the brush on the right.

Even I can do a smokey eye look with these brushes because they don’t have product fallout during application.

I like being able to wear darker and deeper, moody shades and metallics like these, but I hate when they get all over my eye and fallout onto my cheeks. These brushes reduce fallout, making for easier application. I am excited to try these rich plum and copper tones in the fall!

CONCLUSION

Makeup application is so much easier, precise, and hygienic with a good set of brushes. These four brushes together make for much easier makeup application as well as better results. My makeup looks more natural because it is precisely applied and better blended. I love the long handles for better control and they are also sleek and attractive. The brushes withstand washing and hold product well. An excellent addition to the makeup bag of eye makeup novices and ninjas alike!

All Star Ingredient Skincare: GloriSkin Organic Vitamin C Serum

August 4, 2018 · 5 Comments

Vitamin C is key to collagen production. Collagen is vital to keep skin healthy, resilient, and young. Vitamin C also reverses sun damage, fades discoloration and prevents acne. But many Vitamin C serums can be harsh on the skin due to fillers, color dyes, fragrances or additives. GloriSkin Organic Vitamin C Serum contains 20% Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Hyaluronic Acid, Ferulic Acid, Jojoba Oil, and Citrus Stem Cells. It has no fillers or additives. The result is better skin without the irritation.

GloriSkin Organic Vitamin C Serum contains 20% VItamin C, Ferulic Acid, Hyaluronic Acid, and CItrus Stem Cells with no fillers or additives

OVERVIEW AT A GLANCE

There are two big features that make GloriSkin Organic Vitamin C Serum stand out from other Vitamin C serums.

There’s absolutely no sticky or oily residue after application
It has an exceptional ingredient list, especially for the price point.

Just a few drops are enough for your entire face

NO RESIDUE: I MEAN NONE. NADA. ZIP.

GloriSkin Organic Vitamin C serum has zero residue and it goes on smooth under makeup, sunscreen, and moisturizer. It doesn’t feel tight, dry, tacky, sticky, oily or greasy. It feels like my skin.

GloriSkin Organic Vitamin C serum leaves no residue on the skin and causes no irritation or dryness

PUTTING GLORISKIN ORGANIC VITAMIN C SERUM TO THE TEST: MY EXPERIENCE

The wearability of this makes this a go-to Vitamin C serum product. Skin doesn’t feel tight or dry after use at all. In the past, I’ve often skipped daytime Vitamin C because I don’t want Vitamin C serum residue or oil interfering with my makeup. I don’t have to make a choice between makeup or Vitamin C with GloriSkin Organic Vitamin C Serum, which I love.

It is a liquid texture, not quite as thin as water but not as thick as juice. It is not gummy. There is no detectable or strong fragrance.

HOW TO USE: I spread a few drops in a thin layer over damp skin, paying special attention to the nasal labial folds, eleven lines, and areas with sun damage or enlarged pores. I find it gentle enough to use on the throat, decolletage, eye area and around the mouth.

Only a few drops are needed

Soothing Jojoba and Vitamin E make it gentle enough to use twice a day with no irritation, even on crow’s feet.

ALL-STAR INGREDIENTS LIST

GloriSkin Organic Vitamin C Serum contains many effective ingredients. Add to this that it’s organic and it makes for a real winner. You will recognize some of these ingredients from products that are two to three times the price.

GloriSkin Organic Vitamin C Serum contains all natural, effective ingredients

The main ingredient is 20% Vitamin C, which provides the skin the building blocks to rebuild collagen. Collagen keeps the skin firm, meaning fewer wrinkles and sagging. Even enlarged pores can result from loss of collagen. Vitamin C also fades discoloration and discourages adult acne. But as great as Vitamin C is, it needs the right supporting ingredients to work wonders.

Contains Ferulic Acid, Hyaluronic Acid, Jojoba, Vitamin E and Citrus Stem Cells

A closer look at some of the ingredients this impressive line up includes:

Ferulic Acid is an antioxidant that when paired with Vitamin C does more than the sum of their parts. Ferulic Acid helps reduce sun damage. A 2008 study in The Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology found Vitamin C with Ferulic Acid reverses existing sun damage and can actually prevent future UV sun damage.
MSM is one of my favorite skin care ingredients because it brightens the skin while moisturizing. MSM is excellent with Vitamin C because enhances the production of “collagen bundles” that prevent skin sagging.
Hyaluronic Acid holds so much moisture that it instantly plumps my fine lines. Hyaluronic Acid also helps active ingredients sink deeper into the skin.
Citrus Stem Cells protect skin from oxidative stress and help reverse skin damage.

Citrus Stem Cells reverse oxidative skin damage naturally

The moisturizing agents in this serum also feed and heal the skin.

Aloe Vera contains nutrients to keep the skin healthy, hydrated and nourished.
Jojoba is soothing to the skin, having the dual ability to soften wrinkles and ease acne.
Vitamin E makes rough, sunburned, scarred or otherwise damaged skin soft and pliable. Once the skin is pliable, other treating ingredients can work their magic.

Hydrating and nourishing Aloe Vera helps skin tolerate the treating ingredients in GloriSkin

THE RESULTS

I’ve been able to use GloriSkin Organic Vitamin C Serum twice a day and within a few days, it made a big reduction in my acne. My skin also appears brighter. Hyaluronic Acid provides immediate plumping to fine lines and hydration. My skin feels soft with no irritation.

Sagging and age spots take a bit longer to repair. Visible evidence of increased collagen production takes a few months to appear. This is when the wrinkles, sagging, and age spots measurably improve. Because GloriSkin Organic Vitamin C Serum is so easy to wear under makeup or at night without any irritation, I am confident that I can use it long enough to see meaningful results! GloriSkin Organic Vitamin C Serum provides a residue-free, non-irritating, wearable serum. Plus it has excellent, natural ingredients that make the most of daily Vitamin C use!

Improving Dark Under Eye Circles: Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer

August 2, 2018 · 1 Comment

Dark undereye circles have plagued me for life. Even if I am well rested, they still make me look tired. I’ve tried countless concealers and camouflage tactics, creams, and remedies with limited success. But there is one thing that all dark circle suffers have in common: dark circles look better when light reflects off a smooth, hydrated skin surface. Dark undereye circles also can benefit from certain ingredients to naturally fade discoloration. Read why Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer can help *your* dark circles, regardless of their cause.

Lordsbury Retinol+C Moisturizing Cream improves the appearance of dark under eye circles

THE PROBLEM WITH DARK CIRCLE TREATMENTS OF YEARS PAST

You probably have tried many things to remedy your dark undereye circles.

You may have even asked a dermatologist if anything stronger was available. For years, dark circles were treated with hydroquinone cream. Hydroquinone stops the production of melanin in the skin. It works, but sometimes a bit too well. Some celebrities and models over forty have very light, almost white undereye areas from using hydroquinone. This looks unhealthy and unnatural. Unpigmented skin is as difficult to conceal as over pigmented skin.

In recent years, in-office laser skin treatments can remove discoloration and often some natural pigment along with it. These devices are still somewhat unpredictable. Laser-based treatments also have a small risk of the discoloration becoming darker instead of lighter. But many people report some success, albeit at a hefty price tag.

Chemical peels remove surface discoloration, but the eye area skin is so fragile and thin that this can be risky.

But that doesn’t mean that nothing will work when it comes to improving dark circles, it just means you need the right product for you.

Just a small dollop of Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer provides the power of Retinol, Vitamin C, and rich moisturizing cream that is gentle enough for the delicate eye area

WHY DARK UNDEREYE CIRCLE TREATMENTS DON’T WORK FOR EVERYONE

Ever hear a rave review about a dark circle product, only to try it for yourself and be disappointed? There are many causes of dark undereye circles, so not every product can work for everyone. Dark under eye circles can be due to allergies, heredity, lack of sleep, and leaking blood capillaries. Different solutions help different problems and do nothing for other types of problems.

For example, is your dark circle actually a shadow from eye puffiness? Ice can help. So can identifying your allergy or dietary triggers. Using a topical product with caffeine can reduce the bloat.

But, what if you don’t know the cause of your undereye circles?

Many of us don’t know what factor or factors cause our dark circles. The only solution that will work for everyone is improving the skin’s appearance. How can you do this? By rebuilding the collagen, keeping the area smooth and hydrated, and removing discoloration due to sun damage. These three issues are almost universal to all dark circle suffers. This is where Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer comes in.

Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer contains multiple ingredients to tackle dark circles and keep skin soft, smooth and supple

RETINOL, VITAMIN C, HYALURONIC ACID & DARK UNDER EYE CIRCLES

The under eye skin area, being so thin, is subject to the effects of sun damage. Two ingredients that can reverse sun damage are retinol and Vitamin C.

Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer contains 2.5% pure Retinol. Retinol is exceptionally effective in reversing the appearance of sun damage. It also contains 20% Vitamin C serum. Vitamin C helps dark circles by breaking up excess pigmentation and dispersing it to make the skin tone appear even.

Dark circles appear worse as we age because sagging skin makes shadows. Collagen is the scaffolding of the skin, if there’s not enough collagen to support skin tissues, skin sags under the weight. Skin loses collagen with age, especially around the eye area. Retinol promotes collagen production and in tandem with topical Vitamin C, can reduce the sagging and discoloration.

Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer contains 20% Vitamin C Serum to build collagen, fade both discoloration and sun damage around the delicate eye area

Dark circles look better when the skin is wrinkle free and as hydrated as possible. For this, Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer contains Hyaluronic Acid, which plumps the skin on contact. As a result, wrinkles and fine lines disappear or appear less deep. Hyaluronic Acid draws in moisture so skin appears fuller and plumper. This plumping action also reduces sagging, which in turn, makes the dark circle seem firmer and smaller.

Hereditary dark shadows are difficult to improve and seem worse over time due to acquired sun damage. Reversing this sun damage can lighten, smooth and brighten the area. Vitamin C boosts the collagen levels to lift the skin upwards for a younger, brighter look. Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer contains Aloe Vera which feeds the skin, providing a dewy look over time that’s smooth and reflects light, giving a lighter appearance. Aloe Vera also helps buffer treating ingredients to make them tolerable on the delicate eye area.

Lordsbury Retinol+C Moisturizing Cream comes in a generous 2.8 ounce bottle

TIP: Only apply any retinol all along the orbital bone of the dark circle, below the eye bulge and feathering up and out to the brow. Stay away from the lashline and tear duct.

Dermatologist tip: apply retinol products all along the orbital bone up and out to the crow’s feet and up to the brow

CONCLUSION

Dark undereye circles can occur for many reasons and can make you look tired and older. A safe, cost-effective way to treat dark circles is Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer. It contains prescription strength retinol to smooth the surface of the skin and undo sun damage. Vitamin C builds collagen and fades discoloration. Hyaluronic Acid deeply hydrates so dark circles instantly appear brighter, firmer and smoother. Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer provides a remedy to quickly improve the look of dark undereye circles. Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer comes in a generously sized container that is an exceptional value for an eye treatment.

Drink Your Way to Prettier Hair, Skin & Nails: Physician’s Choice Collagen Powder

July 17, 2018 · 2 Comments

Want to grow lush, thick hair and stronger nails? Or to have younger, plumper, more vibrant skin? Topical treatments temporarily improve hair, skin, and nail appearance. But real improvement comes at the source, treating from within. Collagen is the foundational structure of hair protein, and the “glue” of the key components of skin, nails, and bones. Our bodies make less collagen after age thirty, so to maintain ourselves, collagen must be supplemented. An easy way to meet collagen replacement needs is Physician’s Choice Collagen Protein Powder, a tasteless powder that completely dissolves into coffee, tea, water, and smoothies.

Read about what makes Physician’s Choice Collagen Peptides Powder ideal for your beauty goals. Plus check out how we use Physician’s Choice Collagen Peptides Powder in our Style Chicks beauty smoothie recipes below for glowing skin!

BEAUTY GOALS & COLLAGEN

Got beauty goals? Improving your eating habits? Growing your hair longer? Starting a new exercise routine? Congratulations! Collagen makes the most of each of these goals.

Collagen is natural and food-derived, found in select animal, plant, and fish based food sources. However, most of us do not get enough collagen from our diet alone to make meaningful hair and skin improvement. You can make the most of your beauty and health efforts with a reputable collagen protein supplement.

WHY COLLAGEN IS VITAL FOR SKIN, HAIR, NAILS & BONES

Collagen is necessary for cell renewal, namely the strength and elasticity of the skin, hair, nails, bones, joints, tendons, organs, and our eyes.

COLLAGEN FOR SKIN
Collagen acts like the mortar in a brick wall, you don’t notice it until something starts to break apart or sag. Collagen supports our skin, healing scars, keeping it supple, even, youthful and wrinkle-free. When collagen is lost faster than it is replaced, it makes gaps in our skin’s “mortar”, which leads to sagging, the appearance of enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, slower skin healing, and wrinkles.

By age 40, our bodies produce 25% less collagen, resulting in increased lines, wrinkles, sagging and a change in texture

COLLAGEN FOR HAIR
Collagen makes hair thicker, fuller, longer and stronger by promoting the regeneration of dormant hair follicles, thereby reducing future hair loss and increasing hair re-growth.

Secondly, collagen keeps the hair shaft strong, reducing hair breakage that leads to volume loss. When hair strands after adequate collagen, it increases the hair shaft diameter, creating volume.

COLLAGEN FOR JOINTS AND BONES
Collagen keeps your joints and tendons flexible and strong enough to cushion your bones. Collagen supports growth and repair of cartilage tissue.

WHY PHYSICIAN’S CHOICE Collagen Peptides Powder IS A SUPERIOR COLLAGEN SUPPLEMENT CHOICE

Supplemental Collagen quality and absorption rates vary widely. Collagen comes in three types. You can be consuming ample collagen, but if it is not the right type, it won’t absorb into your body well enough to see any meaningful improvements.

THE RIGHT COLLAGEN TYPE FOR THE JOB
Physician’s Choice Collagen Peptides Powder contains Collagen Types I and III. Why is this important? These two collagen types comprise 90% of the bodies collagen and contain the amino acids that put collagen into action. Types I and III are the “pretty collagens” responsible for areas like the delicate skin around your eyes and throat, and the appearance of plumped, not wrinkled or sagging skin, on your cheeks and jowls.

Type II Collagen is related to cartilage fluid and that type of supplement will help achy joints but won’t improve skin, hair, or nails.

WHAT EXACTLY IS HYDROLYZED COLLAGEN?
Hydrolyzed collagen is similar in structure and appearance to gelatin powder, but unlike gelatin, it doesn’t thicken or alter the texture or state of the liquid it is mixed with. You have likely used cosmetics, creams, and lotions that contain hydrolyzed collagen.

Physician’s Choice Collagen Peptide Powder is a hydrolyzed collagen. One scoop equals one serving.

WHY CHOOSE A HYDROLYZED COLLAGEN POWDER
A particularly important factor in Physician’s Choice Collagen Peptides Powder is that it uses hydrolyzed collagen, which clinical studies show has a superior absorption rate of five times higher than typical collagen intake amongst the food-derived collagen peptides. Hydrolyzed collagen peptides are well documented in peer-reviewed medical journals for having a much higher blood level absorption rate as well as studies showing especially superior results in skin repair, muscle, and joint support.

Additionally, Physician’s Choice Collagen Peptides Powder contains DigeSEB, which are digestive enzymes to further enhance the absorption rate, as well as the 19 specific amino acids that needed to tell the collagen to build and repair the hair, skin, nails, and bones. There is also lipase, an enzyme that helps the body break down and digest efficiently.

Physician’s Choice Collagen Peptides Powder gives a superior collagen supplement experience by enabling the beauty-beneficial collagen types to optimally absorb for maximum results. Plus, it contains the exact 19 amino acids required to jumpstart collagen into making the skin, hair and nail supporting enhancements you want.

PUTTING PHYSICIAN’S CHOICE COLLAGEN PEPTIDES POWDER TO THE TEST

Just add one scoop to the beverage of your choice

EXPERIENCE
Use the included scoop for one level serving and add it to the beverage of your choice and stir. I tried it in cold and hot water, hot coffee, hot tea, and smoothies and it always dissolved. I expected it to change the texture of the beverage, to thicken it or be gummy, gritty or lumpy, or but it wasn’t. There is absolutely no taste and it mixes in cleanly with no color, cloudiness or film. It is not even detectable in plain tap water. It can also be added to a recipe instead of just a beverage if you prefer.

Sealed container with 30 servings and measuring scoop

RESULTS
