Get Your Glow On


Winter comes to town and brings with it the tragic combo of dull and dry. The flakey dance where your skin utters a silent sigh and wants to hibernate until spring. Winter weather sure puts the chill on pretty.
Well, I have a new beauty duty, a must have great enough to make you brave the snow and sleet. DermaGlows' Radiance Glycolic Gentle Peel Solution gives your skin back its gorgeous glisten. Skin that looks like it's lit from within and is silky soft to the touch. I am gushing, in an oh so makeup man way, but I am loving this stuff.
It is gentle enough to use everyday and is as simple as saturating a cotton ball or pad and sweeping it across your cleansed skin. There is no need to rinse off afterwards and you can immediately put on your moisturizer. It has been clinically proven to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, sun damaged skin and age spots. It makes your skin look and feel as if you have splurged and hit the medi -spa for a little high tech beauty maintenance.
Now there's no need to forgo the mortgage payment for a daily dose of pretty and while I have not filled my bathtub and splashed around hoping to emerge with the sparkling vampire visage of a tween Twilight cast member, I must confess I have found myself having a couple of narcissus mirror moments, thinking what is reflected back is looking pretty great for 37ish (again.)
DermaGlows Radiance Glycolic Gentle Peel Solution, like all their skin care products, is Dermatologist tested. It is non drying, non irritating has a 10% glycolic acid and is packed with other AHAs* and sodium hyaluronate*. The full sized bottle I have also comes with a bonus of Glycolic Smoothing Moisturizer inside the box. While I bundle up to tackle the wild of winter head on, I will be doing it with an enviable polished complexion, that has me gleaming and glowing and believing in The Power Of Pretty.



FYI- A little beauty lesson-

*AHA's are Alpha Hydroxy Acids which are fruit acids derived from natural sources such as citrus fruits, milk and sugar. The family of AHAs includes glycolic acid, lactic acid, mandelic acid and tartaric acid. They are capable of softening fine lines and surface wrinkles, improving both the skin texture and tone whilst opening and cleanseing pores. They also stimulate blood supply, increase collagen and generally improve skin conditions.

*Sodium Hyaluronate is thought to play an important role in modulating the interactions between adjacent tissues by acting as a lubricant. Sodium Hyluronate is distributed widely in your skin's extracellular matrix and is believed to promote tissue repair.
