Beauty: philosophy time in a bottle 100% in-control anti-aging serum

13 March, 2017 Nelia


[show_shopthepost_widget id=”2508999″]
A couple of weeks ago, I attended a presentation of the new philosophy time in a bottle (100% in-control) serum in Toronto. At the launch we were treated to an inspirational talk by Gabrielle Bernstein, who reiterated the importance of positive thinking and avoiding being stuck in a cycle of negativity. And while avoiding negative thoughts may help you with your inner beauty and overall sense of peace, philosophy time in a bottle serum will take care of what’s on the outside. 

The breakthrough serum promises to “repair skin damage, activate skin’s natural age-resisting mechanisms and protect against environmental aggressors”. With the unique fresh-pour system (you have to mix the Vitamin C8 activator with the serum before first use) the serum’s active ingredients won’t lose any of their potency while on the store shelf, which means that once you mix them yourself, you’ll get the full benefits of the serum. And there are quite a few benefits to enjoy once you start using philosophy time in a bottle serum!

  • exclusive liposome complex stimulates skin’s natural repair functions to help repair skin damage at its source
  • potent Vitamin C8 and a patented antioxidant complex neutralize damaging free radicals to help renew skin’s protection from daily aggressors
  • extracts from rare himalayan red rice, red grape ferment and plantain leaf help reactivate skin’s natural age-resisting mechanisms, for results you can see and feel
  • innovative fresh-pour system for optimal potency of active ingredients

In an 8-week independent clinical study with the time in a bottle serum: 88% of women showed significant improvement in lines, wrinkles, texture and tone, and 100% of women showed a dramatic clinical improvement in firmness. I haven’t been using the serum for 8 weeks just yet, but I’ve already noticed an overall improvement in my skin’s radiance and tone. I am lucky enough not to have noticeable wrinkles yet, but I’m starting to use philosophy time in a bottle serum daily (before bed) as a preventative measure. And the best part is, my sensitive skin hasn’t revolted after I started using it (as it so often happens with many skincare products).

I am still in my early thirties, and while anti-aging skincare hasn’t been a priority in my life until now, I am starting to come around. It’s important to take care of your skin before the damage is done, and this is one of the steps I am taking to take better care of my skin.

So tell me, do you use anti-aging serums? Share your faves in the comments.

Beauty: La Solution 10 de CHANEL Sensitive Skin Cream

4 January, 2016 Nelia

chanel-la-solution-10-de-chanel-review
I’ve written about my reactive skin before, and while I’ve found a few non-irritating products that have worked for me in the past, I am always on the lookout for awesome sensitive skin finds. So when I heard about the new La Solution 10 de CHANEL ($106) specifically formulated for sensitive skin, I was intrigued and excited. Only 10 ingredients (carefully selected after 117 trials over the past 4 years), each chosen for its optimal skin tolerance and efficacy, put together in one classic package. Alcohol-free, fragrance-free, oil-free, non-comedogenic, anti-pollution, dermatologist-tested…sign me up!

So, a couple of months later…does it live up to the hype? For me, it 100% does. After using La Solution 10 de CHANEL each and every morning, my skin feels and looks good. I absolutely love how soft my face feels after application. The cream soaks right into my skin, without leaving any greasy residue, and my makeup glides on smoothly. I also love that the cream has a mattifying effect, reducing shine and making pores look smaller. Now that the temperatures have dropped, I’ll begin layering a hydrating serum before application for an extra kick of moisture, but for now, La Solution 10 de CHANEL has been providing just the right amount of hydration, without irritating my skin.

As far as value goes, it’s certainly not cheap, but a little goes a long way, and I am still on my first bottle two months in. All in all, La Solution 10 de CHANEL is a keeper, and I’ll continue using it as part of my daily skincare regimen.

Beauty: Clinique Face Forward

When LOULOU Magazine invited me to participate in the Clinique Face Forward campaign as part of their #LLSelfieCrew, I was ecstatic. I’ve always been a fan of Clinique, and have used (and loved) several products in the past. In recent years, however, I’ve been desperately trying anything and everything to calm my sensitive skin, with various degrees of success. After taking an assessment test on clinique.ca/face-forward, I was recommended products from the brand’s Moisture Surge and Redness Solutions lines.

As you may know already, I’ve been diagnosed with rosacea, and have been struggling with breakouts, redness, dryness, and general discomfort. I haven’t felt like I’ve been putting my best #FaceForward for a while, so this collaboration could not have come at a better time.

After trying out several products recommended to me, I fell in love with a few: Moisture Surge Overnight Mask is my new HG! I apply it at night as the last step of my routine, and wake up with dewy, lovely skin. It boosts my skin’s moisture levels, making flaky patches disappear. I also haven’t had a bad reaction to this product, despite my sensitive skin, which is a definite win.

Another product I love is Redness Solutions Soothing Cleanser. This non-drying cream/gel is awesome at removing all traces of makeup, while keeping redness at bay. It also offers mild exfoliation to get rid of those dead skin cells.

I’ve also started using Clinique Redness Solutions Daily Protective Base Broad Spectrum SPF 15. My dermatologist was very adamant that sun protection for people with rosacea is a must, and while this oil-free makeup primer doesn’t actually feel like sunscreen, it still adds that protective step to my routine. Bonus points for the sheer green tint – once in a while I wear it instead of foundation since it helps neutralize any redness.

The #FaceForward program asks people to make a promise to the future and put it out there. My promise to my future self would be to love and take care of the skin I’m in – because, no matter the challenges, it’s the only one I’ve got, and with a little TLC and proper care, it can be lovely.

What would yours be? Share your promise to the future, using #FaceForward, and see what other women promise to their future selves.
