What is Ketosis?
Ketosis is a natural metabolic state where your blood ketone levels are elevated. 
What is Ketosis?….watch a quick video here
It can be difficult to get into nutritional ketosis from following a ketogenic (low carb/high fat diet) and for most people this diet is too strict.
By drinking exogenous ketones, you don’t have to follow a strict ketogenic diet to experience benefits. Or, if you’re transitioning to a keto diet, ketones make it easier – you will avoid those “keto flu” type symptoms. 
For fat loss, it’s best to follow a low carb or Keto diet which is much easier to do when drinking ketones, and also do some intermittent fasting.
I’ve been drinking ketones for over 4 years daily and feel AMAZING! Nothing has worked like ketones to give me these results and KEEP THEM!
I’m in my mid 40’s, my skin looks great, I’ve lost fat and kept it off, and I absolutely love the energy and how productive I’ve become. It also lifts my mood tremendously! So many reasons to drink it ASIDE from fat loss.

Q: will one box of drinks be enough on a monthly basis? -madelineA: Hi Madeline, a box of 30 would be enough for once per day, but most people either get two boxes (a couple different flavors) or a box of ketones plus the fat supplement – the Keto Kreme which you can mix with coffee or tea. I think you emailed me so hopefully this helps! Thanks, RachelWas this question helpful to you? Yes No4 out of 4 people found this question helpful.Q: I want to know if I can take it now tht im 50. I want to loose 25 pounds adn have tried evrything. is it safe to drink, -mylene A: Hi Mylene, yes ketones are very safe. Our body naturally goes into ketosis and our liver makes ketones. Being in ketosis is our native state.  Pruvit’s Keto OS is safe for pregnant and nursing mothers, even kids (the decaf). It’s a fantastic supplement and so many other health benefits aside from fat loss/weight loss. You’re going to feel energized and have a spring in your step! Give it a try. You can email me directly at [email protected] if you have any more questions or would like to chat. Otherwise, visit my Pruvit website and order some – you won’t regret it! I’ve been drinking them daily for over a year (I’m 45). Best supplement I’ve ever been on and the only one I’ve ever committed to. Good luck! RachelWas this question helpful to you? Yes No4 out of 5 people found this question helpful.Q: I ordered the reboot last Friday and I just want to make sure this is legit site because only receipt I have gotten is from paypal but it doesn’t give me expected ship date or any other information about what I purchased, can you check on this for me -RhondaA: Hi Rhonda! yes I got your order, I actually have it all packaged up and ready to go, my reboots arrive tomorrow and I’m shipping on the 11th! I’ll send you a private email, thanks for reaching out. ~RachelWas this question helpful to you? Yes No2 out of 2 people found this question helpful.Q: I’m seeing good results from one Keto Max per day, but I see two is the optimal dose. If I’m losing weight do I still need two? My appetite is not nearly what it used to be but I feel much better while it’s in my system so I’m wondering if I can drink another half pack in the afternoon and see increased benefit? Thank you. -Kristine A: Hi Kristine, thanks for your question! Some people do very well on one a day, while others can surely benefit from two a day so they remain in ketosis longer. But if you’re happy with the results you’re seeing from one a day, it’s fine to just drink one. You probably would see a faster rate of fat loss and just feel better all around with increased energy and mood from two, but it’s really up to you. Maybe play around with two a day and see how you feel! Thanks, RachelWas this question helpful to you? Yes No2 out of 2 people found this question helpful.Q: If you are in ketosis according to the strips, does it matter how “far into ketosis”? Is it more effective to be in greater scale of ketosis or no ? As in more work to make your strip darker -mean more into ketosis -mean you will lose weight faster ? -Crystal A: Hi Crystal, a blood test is far more accurate than the urine strips, but I think it does matter. The higher level of ketones you have in your blood the more efficient you’ll be at burning fat. If you’re barely tracing on a urine strip, you could increase your fats, lower your carbs and try to get those ketone levels up so you’ll burn more. With the urine strips, a lot depends on how hydrated you are as well. If you’re in ketosis but you’re dehydrated, your ketone concentration will be higher so it’ll be darker. I would go more by how your results are going and adjust. Are you drinking ketones now? you can email me privately if you’d like to chat more [email protected] Thanks!

Best Eye Treatments for Blepharitis and Ocular Rosacea

**PLEASE SEE MY UPDATE AT THE BOTTOM**
So, this week I found out I have blepharitis stemming from ocular rosacea.  For a few years now I’ve wondered why my eyes were often red, dry and irritated looking.
Visine would temporarily give me a boost but after about 5 hours I would experience rebound redness which is even worse and it takes a few days to recover.
We all want those beautiful, white eye balls to show off our makeup. After all, your eyes are the first thing that anyone looks at when they meet you!
At first I thought maybe it was allergies, since I test so many beauty products to write about them, but my Dr. assured me it was not allergies (at least there’s that silver lining).
I decided to write about this because I know that many people probably suffer from this condition, and I wanted to share the eye cleansing routine that works for me, and also what products don’t inflame my already sensitive eyes.
What is Blepharitis?
If you’ve found this post, you probably already know what blepharitis is, but in case you don’t, I’ll explain.
Blepharitis (Mayo Clinic link) is a common and ongoing condition where the eyelids become inflamed with oily particles and bacteria coating the eyelid margin near the base of the eyelashes.
This condition can cause redness and irritation, and stinging or burning of the eyes. My main symptoms have been red eyes and dryness of the eyes.
My Dr. determined that I have “posterior blepharitis” which is a dysfunction of the eye’s tiny oil glands in the eyelids at the base of the eyelashes where they often get blocked.
Basically, he said that my eyes underproduce oils and tears. Not a good combination, so now I must use moisture drops and adhere to a strict lid cleansing routine.
Sometimes blepharitis can come with age, which makes sense since I’m in my mid-40’s, and sometimes it’s also hereditary. My mother also has blepharitis and eventually went on to have an eyelid surgery in her late 50’s. More for drooping eyelids, but it was causing problems and aggravating her condition.
What is Ocular Rosacea?
When my Dr. said the blepharitis may stem from having ocular rosacea, I looked at him like he had two heads. I don’t have rosacea of the face (where you can have a lot of redness and flushed skin). But apparently you can have rosacea of the eyeballs!
Ocular rosacea often develops in people who have rosacea, and sometimes ocular rosacea is the first sign that you may later develop the facial type. I’m not happy about that prospect!
So I’m still a little confused if one caused the other or vice versa, but I do know that I’ve improved my symptoms by doing what the Dr. said and it’s only been a few weeks, so I wanted to share my routine.
Eye Lid Cleansing Routine
Wash eyelids (not the inside of the eye, just the lids top and bottom) with Johnson’s baby shampoo (or Aquaphor baby wash) mixed with a little water. I use cleansed fingers and also q-tips to rub the lash lines gently. Use a new q-tip for each eye.
Hot eye compresses for 5-10 minutes for morning and night, as hot as you can stand.
Use a lid scrub (you can do this instead of the baby shampoo) to wipe the lids clean
I bought the OcuSoft Lid Scrub Plus which you can get at the drug store. I didn’t like these personally.
Moisture Drops
Use the preservative free moisture drops 2x a day (the ones in the individual droppers that you throw away).
I’ve been using Refresh Optive Advanced, or the Systane Balance. I did try the bottle type (which has preservatives) and it made my eyes sting, so I won’t use those anymore.
Also, stop and blink 20 times quickly every hour! This helps coat the eyelids and keep them balanced. If you’re staring at a computer screen all day, this is especially helpful.
Supplements to Reduce Inflammation
Take 2000-3000mg per day of Omega 3. This fights inflammation but can take months to take effect, but that’s ok because I’ve always known I was low on Omega 3’s and it’s also great for skin!
I bought the Barlean’s Omega Swirl in Citrus Sorbet. This stuff is delicious!! It takes like a creamscicle – not even a hint of a fishy taste. If this sounds gross, just take the fish oil pills!
Flax Seed Oil or Ground Flax Seed – this is also a good way to get Omega 3. I happen to love putting a tablespoon of each in my smoothies or on yogurt so on those days I won’t take the swirl.
I like the Barlean’s brand of flax seed oil, and the Spectrum brand of the ground flax seed. All of these supplements I buy at Whole Foods and they are in the refrigerated section of the supplements.
Hypoallergenic Anti-Aging Eye Treatment
Having blepharitis made me question the anti-aging products that I use on my eyes. Obviously I can’t use products that are going to irritate my already sensitive eyes but I know that I can’t just leave my eyes with no moisture after doing hot compresses and washing with baby shampoo. All of that is so drying!
I’ve been using the Beautycounter Countermatch Eye Rescue Cream, which contains no irritating chemicals and doesn’t irritate my eyes at all.
I use it both under my eyes and right on my eyelids. Beautycounter products are very calming, soothing and non irritating with no toxic chemicals. And it does a great job of moisturizing my crepy lids, which allows my eyeshadow  to go on smoothly.
*UPDATE 2017*
Ok, so this is a super annoying condition!! My eyes got a lot better for a while, I followed the routine above, and then got slack after about six months. Boy was that a mistake! I think I had my worst flare up ever. I want new eyeballs!!! 😉
I had used visine (HUGE mistake) for a special event and then again the next day, and holy crap my eyes looked like I almost had pink eye, just horribly red, dry and irritated. The rebound redness is no joke.
I’ve learned that with this condition, you can’t ease up on anything. It’s chronic and there is no cure. You just have to keep your symptoms in check.
I’m back on a strict routine and have gotten things under control but there are some things my Dr. added that you may find beneficial. This was a NEW Dr. and I’m so glad I switched. My eyes have improved ten fold and my old Dr. didn’t recommend any of this stuff!
Meibomian Gland Expression – He put numbing drops in my eyes and used a tool to squeeze the lower lids. He said it was thick and came out like toothpaste – super gross. At least he got them a little “unplugged.”
Lotemax Steroid Drops…this has been a Godsend but I know I can’t use it forever since it’s a steroid. It has made my eyes whiter than they have been in a very long time. During my flareup, I used 2x day for a couple weeks, now I’m at once per day in the morning (typically only use 2-3x week now).
Azasite 1% Azithromycin Eye Drops – I used this at night along my lower lids for a couple weeks during my flare up. At first it was a bit stingy so I would just put some on a qtip and gently apply to my inner lower lids. Now I can just pull my lower lid back and put a drop in. I like to do this JUST before bed, so I can just close my eyes. This will help fight infection which can all be a part of this blepharitis condition (bacteria builds up in those glands since they’re not flowing properly). During my flare up I used every night for a week, dropped down  to 3-4 nights per week and did this for about a month, then stopped.
Eyelid self massage – After doing the warm/hot compresses, gently massage your eyelids and push up underneath your eye towards your inner lid, and do the same on the top. Rub downwards. This will help express the clogged oil in your glands. You won’t “see” it coming out. Don’t do what I did and try to get aggressive with a qtip to squeeze stuff out. This broke some capillaries and made my eyes all red! I definitely overdid it in the beginning. Best to be gentle with everything!
Face Steamer – I bought a little Conair face steamer from Macy’s. I couldn’t find one in BBB or Target in store, but they do sell them online. Instead of hot compresses every night, about 3-4 nights I like to steam my whole face for 15 minutes. This will open up your meibomian glands and is great for your skin as well. I flutter my eyelids open and shut during the process. I also put a towel over my head to trap the steam in. Once you’re done steaming, you can do the eyelid massage. Once you’re done, be sure and use your wipes (or baby wash) to cleanse your eyes as the massage and steaming will make the goop form in your eyeballs sometimes.
Fish Oil Supplement – I found that I wasn’t diligent enough to make a smoothy every day and use the flax seed or the Omega swirl, nor was I diligent enough to even take fish oil pills on the regular. I use MCT oil in my coffee each morning and I’ve done this for a year. MCT is a coconut oil extract and it helps my overall condition (and has other benefits as well).
Makeup Changes – I actually quit wearing eye makeup for a whole week when I started this new regime. I threw out all my old makeup and brushes. Even though I cleaned them, you can’t kill all the bacteria in those brushes and I wanted a fresh start. I usually spend quite a bit on makeup and use Mac mascara. Instead I went out and bought all cheap makeup to use until this is under control. I bought Almay mascara and I’m going to throw it away and buy new one every couple of weeks. Mascara is the worst culprit to spread bacteria around your eyes. I love the Almay just as much as the Mac so apparently I’ve been over paying for mascara all this time! LOL Now I wear makeup again all the time! However I NEVER use eyeliner on the inside of my bottom lashes, which I miss doing… not worth it.
Pillow cases – Wash them twice per week, bacteria builds up on pillow cases quickly.
Eye Mask To Sleep – My husband sleeps with the overhead fan on and a small table fan (yes, two) so the air flow was killing me. I bought one of those masks from BBB that has the concave eyes so it doesn’t touch your eyelashes. This helped my eyes from drying out over night. Sometimes I would wake up and could hardly blink because they were so dry!! (For the record, it was too hard to keep this up, once my eyes got better I found I didn’t need the mask, but in a flare up it might be beneficial).
Humidifier – I bought a small humidifier from BBB and keep it next to my bed and leave it on low during the night. I did this for a few weeks, it didn’t seem to make much difference so I stopped doing it.
Eye drops next to bed – First thing I do now when I wake up is put a drop of the Refresh Advanced Optive (the single use ones) in my eyes to freshen them up. They are always the most dry when I wake up.
Anti-inflammatory diet – I’ve been eating a low carb/ketogenic diet which is an anti-inflammatory diet (high fat/low carb/moderate protein). Dr.’s say that blepharitis is a chronic condition that you can’t cure, but I think that’s crap. Western Dr.’s just don’t seem to want to consider diet, they just want to write those scripts.
If you reduce the inflammation in your body, you’re going to have less inflammation in your eyes, and rosacea is inflammation.  There is a supplement I’ve been taking called Keto OS which is exogenous ketones in a drink that puts your body into ketosis which is exactly what the ketogenic diet does.  I use the MCT oil in my coffee in the mornings, and drink one Keto Nat per day in the afternoon.
So, I think I’ve found the best possible work out/fat loss supplement that I could possibly use that also helps my eye condition!  I still do my warm compresses, lotemax drops and drink the ketones daily and my condition is totally kept under control.  I have done this for TWO YEARS NOW and my life is much improved!
As you can see, this blepharitis condition is a huge pain in the ass! However, I’ve settled into a routine now and I just have to do it just like I have to brush my teeth.

Three Reasons to Get Thermage NOW

Tighter skin, smoother jawline, improved neck appearance.One treatment, no downtime.
Can this really be possible?
Yes! Thermage works by stimulating the formation of new collagen while simultaneously causing your existing collagen to contract and tighten. Thermage has been the gold standard in contouring and tightening for over 15 years because it delivers. About Face Skin Care has been perfecting this treatment for over 10-years — this isn’t something new, it’s something that works.
1. Tighten and Smooth Saggy Skin
How does it tighten and smooth so well? Thermage uses Radio Frequency (RF) technology to deliver heat deep to the dermal layer. Sounds a little scary, but it’s not!
“Volumetric Heat” is carefully delivered to older collagen-fibers (that have grown lax and saggy over the years).  Volumetric Heat is a complicated sounding term that means measured, consistent and targeted. This energy causes your aging collagen fibers to contract, giving the skin an immediate lift.
One of our favorite things to show the patient their results, halfway through the treatment. It’s great to see their response when they see the lift already achieved on the treated half!
2. Stimulate The Growth Of Collagen
While the immediate lift is great to see, the full results continue to improve over the next 6-months. New collagen is stimulated to grow. (We all stop making new collagen around the age of 26, and it’s generally around this time that people see skin start to change.)
Collagen stimulation is the goal of rejuvenation, the new collagen that is stimulated will further tighten and smooth the skin. Your Thermage treatment will silently continue to deliver results over the next 3-6 months!
3. Get Your “You” Back!
In addition to the face, neck and eyes, Thermage is an extremely versatile treatment that can be used on multiple body-areas where loose-skin and sagging cause concerns. The post-baby tummy area is particularly well suited for Thermage. While a woman’s body will naturally try and restore itself during the months after having a baby, many mothers feel the skin on their post-baby tummies could have a little help. Thermage on the abdomen will help tighten the skin and help with its elasticity.
Arms, knees and buttocks also respond well to Thermage. At About Face Skin Care we have the Body Handpiece that can be used on suitable parts of the body. With a larger surface area, body Thermage treatments can be faster and more comfortable.
Pro Tip: How To Get The Most Out Of Your Treatments
Patients always want to know how to get the best results.
To get the most out of your Thermage it is important to be well hydrated. That doesn’t mean have a glass of water in the morning before treatment! It means being conscious of your water intake for at least two days before and the day of treatment. Those famous 6-8 glasses of water everyone recommends you drink daily are important, not just for your general health, but RF (Radio Frequency) treatments, like Thermage, work better when you are properly hydrated. Also, remember if you drink coffee and caffeinated drinks like Green Tea, Black Tea or Coke you should be drinking even more water as these drinks dehydrate. Well hydrated skin also looks better!  (This is a good practice even when not thinking about Thermage!)
Improved Skin-Tightening Treatments

How To Fix Thin Eyebrows without Makeup! Thick, Dark Brows Naturally

Want to know how to fix your eyebrows without makeup? I’ll show you how to grow eyebrows fast so they look youthful & filled-in even without eyebrow makeup.
Learn about a drug-free natural eyebrow growth serum that fills-in sparse brows and (this is the best part) naturally darkens them without dyes.

Are your brows thinning, fading, or losing their tails?
Whether your brows are over-plucked or they just thinned out with age, there is still hope…You can grow eyebrows faster with a natural, inexpensive eyebrow growth serum.
I found an easy way to make your natural brows look youthful & fuller even without makeup. And it doesn’t require drugs with side-effects or expensive procedures.
But most people haven’t heard of it, because it was initially meant for the hairs on your HEAD… (Even though it’s just as effective on your brows!)
Why thicker-fuller eyebrows are desirable
Fuller eyebrows frame the face for a more youthful look. Thicker natural brows can make your face look younger and more approachable. They also play a significant role in how you communicate with others.
A study from Tennessee Tech showed eyebrows have a huge impact on whether you look friendly or threatening, approachable, or angry.1
Researchers concluded:
“Between eyes and eyebrows, the results showed that essentially, the eyebrows were the more important part of the face, ultimately determining which emotion is communicated.” 
So, if your brows are sparse, you may be giving folks the wrong idea about your feelings towards them. Also, studies have shown that eyebrows have a big impact on how old you look.2
Researchers conducted a study of 763 makeup-free women and found that…
Those with prominent brows appeared younger compared to those with sparse or thin eyebrows.3
Researchers suspect that it’s because full, dark brows create a contrast in your facial features offering a more flattering look.
Darker, fuller brows are especially crucial if your eyelashes, eye color, skin tone, and hair has started to fade too. Rich, prominent eyebrows can prevent that “washed-out” look.
How fix thin eyebrows – current options
Up until now, the only way to get fuller-looking natural eyebrows without using makeup or eyebrow pencils are Microblading or Latisse.
What is Microblading
This is when a technician cuts into your skin with tiny blades and injects it with pigment… essentially giving you a “semi-permanent tattoo” of an eyebrow.
Now, many people get this procedure because it lasts over a year. But that’s not necessarily a good thing because, if you don’t love how it turns out, you’re stuck with it.
Not to mention, this procedure can leave you with unsightly scar tissue and can even damage your hair follicles, making your natural brows even sparser.4
What is Latisse
Latisse is a prescription prostaglandin drug that has impressive results because it does work. But, because prostaglandins work by manipulating your hormones, it is also associated with side effects including:
Hollowing of skin, creating a sunken appearance 5
Irritation ranging from mild itchiness to severe pain 6
Darkening of the skin, creating an unsightly brown pigment that can be permanent 7
Redness of the thin tissue over the white part of the eye (conjunctiva)
Itchy, red eyes
Dry eyes
Darkened eyelids
Hair growth around the eyes if the medication regularly runs or drips off the eyelids
And surprisingly, many over-the-counter brow serums contain certain forms of Prostaglandins too. It is usually listed as isopropyl cloprostenate, so check your brow serum’s ingredient list to see if it contains prostaglandin. 
How serious are the side-effects of prostaglandin? Well, it’s been BANNED in Canada due to the side effects.
This is scary and surprised me! I’ve been using Latisse for about a year, and I noticed that the skin around my top and bottom eyelids had turned a reddish-brown color. Now I have to apply a concealer around the rim of my lids, or I look like I’ve been crying!!
And, since Latisse didn’t darken my eyebrows (like the ad says it does), I have to dye it, or they look faded. This dying process leaves me with itchy, scabby eyebrows…I guess I’m allergic to the dye too.
How to grow eyebrows fast and darken them naturally
Brow Boost Redensifying Serum By City Beauty is a drug-free eyebrow growth serum that not only helps grow eyebrows fast, but also helps to darken them without dyes.
City Beauty says:
“This serum contains a botanical blend that is natural and safe for brows and eyes. It contains hydrolyzed keratin, several powerful peptides, Myristoyl Pentapeptide, and is free from side-effects”.
One ingredient I’m thrilled about is the biomimetic peptide that targets light or grey hairs and makes them appear darker, giving your brows a more defined look. I no longer have to dye my eyebrows.
In lab tests, biomimetic peptide decreased the amount of hairs that looked grey by an astonishing 81%!8,9
That’s probably why so many users reported:
Their existing grey strands looked darker
The new brow hairs growing in looked darker
And they saw fewer grey hairs in their brows overall
And this serum does not any contain dyes. So, the “brow-darkening” effect is entirely natural.
Of course, there are plenty of other enhancing serums that contain peptides. In fact, some use one or two of the same peptides as Brow Boost. But since peptides are expensive, these other serums usually contain only one or two or, at most, three peptides.
Brow Boost contains a total of 10 different peptides… all at the recommended concentrations and sourced from the world’s top labs.
So, if you want to know how to fix thin eyebrows safely without spending too much money, consider this natural eyebrow growth serum from City Beauty. 
Will my eyebrows get thicker?
I’m just started on my second tube so it’s a bit too soon to say since City Beauty says it takes up to 4 weeks to see full results.
But I am happy to say those little grey eyebrow hairs are no longer there. I used to pluck them out, but now I don’t see any growing back. Also, I’m glad to stop using Latisse. My discolored eyelid skin is starting to look normal again!
I think I finally found a natural way to darken and fix thin eyebrows without drugs, side-effects, or dyes!  I’ll keep you all posted on my progress with pictures.
And, always remember, City Beauty offers a 60-day money-back guarantee – which is enough time to see if this eyebrow growth serum will work for you. Just make sure to keep your receipt.

Lip Care Tips: Non-Invasive Treatments for Younger Lips

Ahead, you’ll find 5 anti-aging lip care tips for a younger-looking mouth. 
How often do you think about anti-aging lip care?

Most of us don’t worry about upper lip and mouth wrinkles until it’s too late. Once the skin around your lips starts looking dry, crepey or wrinkled – the damage has started and it’ll be that much harder to improve it.
From lip masks, balms, correcting gloss, and hydrating mouth patches – these non-invasive, no-downtime, inexpensive lip care tips can help soften lip wrinkles, vertical lines and improve skin texture around your mouth.
Volume loss, parched skin, and lines around the lips can be frustrating! You can’t hide it and lipstick draws more attention due to feathering and bleeding. It can be so depressing!
But we have solutions that can help protect, smooth and improve the skin around and on your lips. And not all healthy lip products are boring, check out this gorgeous red lip cream that goes on like a cream, but stays put all day! Click here…

So start taking care of your lips now! Because it’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when those lines will crepe up around your mouth! I only wish I had followed this advice 20 years ago.

Who should try these anti-aging lip care tips
Anyone who wants to look a little younger. It’s amazing how wrinkles and lines around the lips and mouth can add up to 10 years to your appearance!
Whether you’re 30 something and just starting to see faint lip lines or over 50 and have deep vertical lip groves, these anti-aging tips can help replenish, hydrate and protect the skin around your lips and mouth.
Even if you been following the lip line reduction treatments suggested here and are starting to see results – you should add one or more of these tips to your daily routine to help slow lip skin aging and improve your chances of getting better results.
Anti-Aging lip care tips
The skin around the eyes and lips wrinkle faster than the rest of the face. This is due to thin, delicate skin wrapped around strong orbital muscles (mouth and eye muscles) which are continually contracting – causing the skin to fold, over and over again. 
When you combine this with the fact that we begin to lose collagen in our 20s, it’s easy to understand why wrinkles develop in these areas faster than others.
What can you do?
Just as you would use a specially formulated eye products for anti-aging prevention, do the same for your lips too. 
Here are a few suggestions of different types of lip products we’ve tried and liked. There are plenty out there – so play around until you finds ones that work best for you.
Lip moisturizers

Patchology Lip Service Gloss-to-Balm Treatment
Why just moisturize when you can protect lips against aging by using creams that contains peptides and Atelocollagen to help increases lip volume and reduce appearance of lip bleed lines.
This cream has staying power, so if you apply a thicker layer it can double as a lip mask at night because it stays put.
And, if you’re currently getting professional lip fillers, this cream can help enhance the effects of your treatments.
2. Mouth patches

Flash Patch Hydrating Lip Gels
These lip gel patches provide quick but intensive treatment because they contain niacinamide, peptides, green tea, and honey.
They’re quick and easy – because unlike homemade masks, all essential ingredients are infused in a gel patch that releases nutrients right to the targeted area of your upper lips. These are the best lip gels for your money!
SIO Beauty Lip Patch
This one may be a bit of a splurge $$. But works so well, I have to mention it.
Sio Beauty makes incredible lip patches that offer long-term hydrating treatment. These easy to use collagen-infused gel patches go around your mouth like a smooth sheet mask.
I’ve tried skin patches and love the way they make my skin look. But I feel they might be expensive for everyday use. However, I won’t give them up and use them once or twice a week in addition to my other lip treatments.
3. Lip/mouth masks

DIY – Homemade Lip Mask:
You can easily make your own lip mask to use in-between using professional masks. My favorite and super easy lip mask is to combine:
¼ tsp of sugar
¼ tsp of oil (your choice, see below for suggestions)
¼ tsp or less honey (optional). Honey makes the mask a bit thicker
apply mask around your mouth – make sure to cover upper lip area well
Why these ingredients?
Sugar – Sugar contains natural alpha-hydroxy acids, which help melt away dead skin cells that are “glued” to your skin. By removing extra dead skin cells, you’ll reveal smoother, younger skin underneath. Also, your favorite moisturizers will be able to penetrate better.
Oils – Choose oils that are high in antioxidants for best results. These oils include standard ones you might have on hand right now or essential face oils. Studies suggest that certain essential oils have potent antioxidant properties. 1 Choose varieties like Coconut oil, rosehip seed oil, pomegranate seed oil, ylang ylang flower oil, carrot oil, or jojoba oil. These face oils have excellent antioxidant properties and can help keep the skin around the lips and mouth healthy.
Honey – Honey is a natural humectant, which means it helps draw moisture to your skin. I like to add a drizzle of honey to make the mask thicker, too, so it stays in place.
4. Correcting lip gloss

Mommy Makeup Line Smoothing Gloss

If you use gloss or lipstick everyday, all day, why not choose one that will help protect your lips from aging and instantly plump them up too. 
In the picture above I’m wearing the newest shade of STAY PUT lip cream in matt. I love this scarlet Red for special occasions! Click here to watch a video!
Mommy Makeup makes affordable makeup and lip products. They make a thick, cushiony line smoothing lip gloss that lasts for hours. However, I’m not too crazy about the color selection for my skin tone, but I do use it and just mix it with my other favorite lip colors. It does help prevent color bleed and 
City Lips Plumping Lip Gloss
This lip gloss “hugged” my lips all day. I don’t know if it was the thickness of the gloss or the anti-aging ingredients, but it’s thick enough to fill in and hide tiny lip lines.  
5. SPF lip balm

Of all the lip care tips for healthy, hydrated skin, sunscreen is most important. Not just to keep the skin looking young, but to also help protect against mouth and lip cancers like Actinic Cheilitis.
But how hard is it to keep sunscreen on our lips when we’re laughing, eating, drinking! Even the area above the lips is often forgotten.
I’ve always HATED sunscreens! Until now – I found CoTZ as recommend by my dermatologist for my husband who has rosacea. And now CoTZ make a lip balm too! Luck me!
So I use the CoTZ face sunscreen on my face (making sure to cover the area below my nose (upper lip). And then apply the CoTZ SPF balm as needed throughout the day – especially if I’m outside all day.
This pure and clean (but very protective) mineral-based lip balm is non-greasy, silky smooth, fragrance free, and waterproof for up to 80 minutes.

Eyeliner Makeup for Women Over 40 – Tips for Bigger Brighter Eyes

By Linda Robison

Eyeliner makeup can do wonders for mature eyes. It can make your eyes look bigger, brighter and more lively.
So why are so many women over 40 afraid of using eyeliner? Many feel that eyeliners will make eyes look small, accentuate wrinkles, dark circles or crepey eyelid skin.
But before you give up, try some of these gel and pencil eyeliner tips and tricks first.
P.S. Want to know what makes your eyes brighter? Don’t miss the step by step eyeliner tutorial at the end of this page.
Are there too many rules about using eyeliner? Has it become too complicated? Well I think a little eyeliner – applied correctly – can enhance mature eyes and make the whites look brighter and lively again.
I love wearing eyeliner! But if you’re over 40 it can be tricky. And there are hundreds of makeup artists who tell you the wrong and right way to apply it.
However, I don’t like to follow someone else’s rules. I do what works best for me. I think eyeliner looks sexy! If you agree, then try some of these tips…
Is there a wrong or right way to apply eyeliner?

Many blogs or YouTube videos seem to have the same eyeliner makeup tips for mature eyes; don’t wear dark eyeliner, don’t wear too much eyeliner, or skip it all together.
Yes, the rules may have changed for those of us over 50, but that doesn’t mean we can’t wear eyeliner at all. 
Here are some eyeliner makeup tricks to consider

After playing around with different techniques, here are some eyeliner application styles that work well for me:

Wrong:
We’re told it’s wrong to wear black or dark eyeliner if we’re over 40 or 50. Experts say it’s too harsh and may accentuate lines and dark circles.
Right:
I wear a small amount of black eyeliner, but I usually apply it inside the upper eyelid rim, in-between lashes and sometimes right along the lash line. 

Wrong: 
Experts will tell to you never apply dark liner to lower lids. It will exaggerate wrinkles, fine lines, dark circles and even make your eyes look smaller.
Right: 
I apply a small amount of black liner to the outer 1/3 of the inner lower lid. But, I never draw the line all the way into the corners of the eyes.

Natural looking eyeliner tips for wrinkled eyelid skin
What if every eyeliner you’ve tried accentuated wrinkles and dark circles around your eyes? 
Then stop using a pencil or crayon and try a gel eyeliner makeup in a lighter color. Better yet, try a creamy-gel eyeliner like the one I’m using in the picture below. I’m using an eye makeup that is creamy but goes on with the easy of a gel.

Here I’m using an gel eyeliner makeup in Golden Carmel, a caramel brown with a golden shimmer. This eyeliner gel makeup is called the Any Wear Cream. It’s waterproof, smudge proof and comes in several different colors. Click here to see more…
This natural looking eyeliner tip is perfect if you have a lot of wrinkles or crepey skin around your eyes since it’s waterproof and smear-proof, it’s less likely to migrate and settle into the crinkles and lines around the eyes.
And it doesn’t dry immediately, so you have a few seconds to fix any mistakes easily. That’ important for many women (like me) who have a hard time using liquid or gel liners. I can never seem to draw on a nice smooth line!
But after a few seconds, once it sets, it stays put!
A versatile eyeliner makeup
It’s called the Any Wear Cream because you can use it anywhere you want a pop of color, highlight, sheen or shimmer.
For example this cream can be used as a:
cheek highlighter
eyeshadow
eyeliner
lip shimmer
Here owner of Mommy Makeup Debra shows how you can use the Anywhere Cream as an eyeshadow, lip color, and cheek color/highlighter.

What’s nice about this color is that it accentuates the eyes without having to use dark eyeliner and brings a lift to the upper eye area! It’s also a great eyeliner color for blondes.

It comes in 15 other gorgeous colors. Click here to see them all!
How to make eyes brighter with eyeliner makeup
What makes your eyes look bigger and brighter? Choosing the right eyeliner color can make all the difference in world, regardless of your eye color.  There are certain shades of dark green (like hunter green) that can really make the whites of your eyes pop!
[embedded content]

What about using white eyeliner makeup
Another eyeliner makeup trick for mature eyes that really works to brighten and open them up is applying a bit creamy white eyeliner inside or along the rim of the lower eyelids.
How to apply white eyeliner

There are many ways to apply white eyeliner, but here is what I like to do…Run a creamy white eyeliner pencil either inside the lower eyelid or right under the eyelash line.
Note: Play around with this to see which one works best for you. Some women find that applying white eyeliner to only the inside 1/3 of the eyelid works best. Personally, I don’t like to draw the eyeliner all the way out to the outside corners of the eye. But, you should play around and see what works best for you.
Best white eyeliner for the waterline
Originally, I was using a cheap drugstore brand, wooded pencil eyeliner, but it was too white and it didn’t last long. Now I switched to Maybelline TattooStudio Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil. It’ll last all day and works very well on the waterline.

Final eyeliner tips
To get the best look for your eyes, you really need to play around and experiment with different types of eyeliner makeup to see what works for you. And don’t forget to give waterproof gel eyeliners a try. Many women find them much easier to use than liquid eyeliners.
And, find out what type of eyeliner is best to use on the waterline for contact wearers. Many women have issues with certain eyeliners that leave residue on their lenses.
Hopefully at the end of the day you’ll find the best combination of eyeliner makeup tips that’ll make your eyes just pop!

Beauty Tips for Aging Eyes – Over 40? Try These!

Four simple makeup and beauty tips for aging eyes that will have you looking brighter and more awake than ever.
This also works well if you have puffiness and/or dark circles around the eyes. My favorite go to products anytime I want my eyes to look wider and more awake.
1. Lighten up your eyeliner
Even though you may feel great, your eyes may say something different. As we age our eyes tend to look smaller – giving the face a tired look. So the question I hear often is “What eyeliner is best for tired looking eyes or should I just skip eyeliner makeup all together?”
In my opinion, not wearing eyeliner is as aging as wearing too much. So what to do? Well, you definitely want to skip the heavy eyeliner and shadow. Instead try outlining your upper and lower lids with a light or slightly shimmery creamy eyeliner makeup.
In the picture below, I’ve outlined my upper and lower lids with a shimmery, golden caramel colored eyeliner.
You want to define and brighten your eyes without drawing attention to aging eye issues like puffiness, dark circles, or wrinkles.

I absolutely LOVE this creamy eye shadow which can be used as an eyeliner and cheek highlighter. It’s called AnyWear Cream. This one simple eyeliner makeup has many different uses such as eyeshadow, eyeliner, cheek highlighter and more…
I also like the fact that it’s waterproof, smudge proof, and super creamy so it glides on without settling into creases or lines. 
AnyWear Creamy Eye Shadow/Eye Liner
2. Brigthen eye discoloration
As we age the skin around the eyes become thinner allowing the blue/red blood vessels under the skin show through. This can cast a dark/bluish discoloration around the eyes, and especially in the inner corners of the eyes.
The problem finding a good highlighter/concealer for most women over 40 is finding one that is thick enough to provide decent coverage, but not so thick that it settles inside all those tiny lines, and papery skin folds around the delicate eye area.
I found an highlighter pencil, that acts as a light concealer as well as a highlighter because it has two different sides. It’s called the Brow Power Lift Pencil. 

This dual sided crayon has a matte conceal on one end and a pearlite highlighter. But not that garish sparkly pearl color – it’s so soft and ever so subtle.
This is one of my favorite beauty tips to brighten aging eyes! Look how my whole upper eye area looks brighter and more awake.
Before After
I use the pearl end of the crayon above and directly below my eyebrows. The magical thing about this crayon is that you never really see the pearlescent color – all you see is light bright illuminated lifted eyebrows. 
Then I apply the matte end of the crayon on the inner corners of my eyes and down the side of my nose (along and inside the tear trough). This helps lighten the dark/purplish discoloration in the inner corners of my eyes.

NOTE: This crayon used to be sold at Ulta – but they are ALWAYS out-of-stock. So I get mine on Amazon.

How to use this pencil for eye discoloration
The IT Brow Power Lift is a perfect combination of a soft crayon with a bit of staying power, but not drying. And because the color is so subtle you really don’t have to rub it it….just pat to blend.
Here is what I do:
I draw the crayon in all the areas around the eyes that are discolored or need a lift.
Then wait about 5 minutes to let it warm up and melt into the skin. Then I lightly press my finger in that area to blend in. 
Once it warms up to your skin, it sort of melts into the those tiny wrinkles and lines so you really don’t notice the crayon, you just see a highlighted area.
3. Hide aging eye lines
My other favorite product to along with the Brow Lift is the Instant Eye Serum. This lightweight serum softly helps firm up under eye skin and helps mask those tiny crepey lines under the eyes.

It also helps reduce the appearance of puffy eyes. You can see a video of how works here.
Unlike some of the other eye firming/lifting serums I’ve tried the Instant Eye Lift serum dries softly and imparts a slight matte finish to the under eye area and complements the Brow Lift highlighter perfectly. I could not do without these two eye products.
4. Perk up your eye color
No matter how much eye makeup you apply, something seems off. Your eyes just don’t seem as bright as they used. They don’t stand-out or “pop” like they used to. 
Well, it could be that your eye color has faded. Just like the hair on your head, studies show that with age, your iris produces less melanin which gives your eyes a nice vivid color.
But there are a few little makeup tricks you can try – using certain eyeshadow color that can help bring back that spark! Click here for more information on Eye Beauty Tips to try when Eye Color Fades.
Beauty tips for aging eyes – putting it all together
Here is how I use these beauty tips for smoother, younger looking eyes
After you’ve applied your makeup:
Smooth the matt end of the Brow Power Lift crayon wherever you have dark circles – which is usually inside the inner corners of the eyes.
Rim the lower and upper eyelids with the AnyWear cream in golden/caramel.
Then smooth a tiny drop of the Instant Eye Lift serum across the under eye area covering any lines, wrinkles or puffiness.
Do you have any special beauty tips for aging eyes? We’d love here about it.  Pease drop me a line and let me know how it works for you.

How to Apply Eyeliner Over 40 – Tips to Wear & Choose eyeliners

How to Apply Eyeliner Over 40: Step by Step Eyeliner Tutorial For Mature Eyes
By Linda Robison

How to apply eyeliner over 40: We’ll show you easy natural looking eyeliner tips for mature eyes, hooded or droopy eyelids, wrinkles, poor vision, or shaky hands.
You’ll also find an eyeliner tutorial for contact lens wearers who find their eyeliner is always leaving residue on contact lenses. 
P.S. Click here to skip down to the bottom of the page to see the natural eyeliner tutorial for mature eyes! 
Eyeliner can really enhance your features and brighten your face!  But many women over 40, 50, and beyond have a hard time applying eyeliner for many reasons including:
wrinkled or hooded upper eyelids
drooping or sagging upper eyelids
poor vision
shaky hands
don’t know how to apply correctly to enhance mature eyes
are not using the right eyeliner makeup (pencil vs. gel)
But, I’ll show you how to draw eyeliner that’s easy and looks natural.
Why is eyeliner important

As we age everything seems to fade…skin color, hair color, eye color, even eyelashes and eyebrows fade. So a little bit of eyeliner applied correctly can help make us look less tired, enhance eye color and even brighten our whole face!
How to apply eyeliner on upper eyelid 
Sometime time after 40, our eyelids start drooping downward. And that combined with loss of facial fat can make our eyes can look hollow or make the corners look turned down (sad look).
I found the best way to frame the eyes without accentuating that downward droop is to apply the liner to the inside at the lash line with little simple tip to bring the corners…
Ok, here is how I apply eyeliner on the upper lid.
Take a clean eyeliner pencil and place it right into the upper inner eyelash line. If you need to you can use your index finger, gently lift the upper eyelid. 
No need to worry about winkled eyelids, poor vision, or shaky hands. This defines your upper eyelid and make lashes look thicker too

Make sure the pencil is not too sharp, you want a smooth rounded tip so it glides on the upper eyelid easily and doesn’t hurt or poke your eyelid.
Then run (sort of smudge) the eyeliner back and forth into the eyelash roots along the outer 1/3 of the eye only. Don’t go too far in toward your nose as this can make your eyes seem small and too close together.
The beauty of this eyeliner application if you have poor vision or shaky hands  there is NO need to draw a straight or even line. 
You just need to:
press the eyeliner pencil against the inner eyelash line 
slide the pencil back and forth a few times until enough color is deposited
Also, it’s a good idea to clean your eyeliner pencil by wiping it with a paper towel moistened with rubbing alcohol. Give it a few minutes to dry before using.
Now give the corner of your eyes a lift up look.
There are all types of eyeliner tips, but this last step can really give your eyes a nice lift and works best if you wear mascara.
Simply draw one line straight up from the end of your eyelash line. When you open your eyes, that line will blend in with your lashes giving the eyes an uplifting appearance. 

Don’t draw the line straight out (like cat’s eyes style) as this will most likely draw attention to any sagging of the eyelids. You need to compensate this angle and go up!
Heavy cat’s eyes style eyeliner might work well on 20 somethings, but once the eyelid starts drooping, you need to compensate by drawing the line up toward your eyebrow corners.
I found that by drawing one thin line upward gives the eyes a nice lift. 
How angled should that line be? That depends on the shape and amount of laxity in your eyelids. But for most women a small dash angled toward the tail-end of your eyebrow works great. Play around and to see what works best. 
Now, just add mascara and your eyes have definition, lift and a bit of pop – without looking over-done or heavy.

Note: If you have issues with sensitive eyes, you might want to skip lining the inner eyelid rim and just apply eyeliner on the outer part of the lids. Skip down to the eyeliner tutorial for easy tips on how to do that.
How to apply eyeliner on lower eyelid
Depending on your eye shape and the condition of you skin, you may be able to wear a little bit of eyeliner on the lower lid. If so, try this tip and see how it looks on you.
Using your index finger, lightly pull your lower eyelid down. Now run the pencil on the 1/3 outer corner only of the inside the lower eyelid rim (water line). If you draw a line from end to end across the lower lid, it can look too harsh. 
Now add a little color to the outer lower lids for more definition

Note: Make sure to keep the color deposit very light. You just want a hint of color outlining the lower lid to make your eye stand-out.
Depending on the shape and size of your eyes, some women choose to skip this step completely.
Also, many find some of the eyeliner color from the upper lid will transfer to the lower lid when they blink and this is often enough to provide a light outline for the lower lid.
Why type of eyeliner do I use? A pencil eyeliner that stays on!
When it comes to pencil eyeliners, I prefer a hard waxy pencil (over a soft crayon) because it gives me control on color deposit and stays on all day. My two favorites are: Maybelline Wood Eyeliner Pencil and Maybelline Master Precise Skinny Automatic Pencil.
I have very sensitive eyes and have tried plenty of eyeliners. But for some reason these are the only two pencils that have NEVER irritated my eyes like other “hypoallergenic” eyeliners did. 
But, if you still have a problem with disappearing eyeliner, smudges, smears or problems with contact lenses read the tips below on the benefits of gel liners…

Smudge proof eyeliner for contact lenses and other issues
Applying eyeliner to the waterline can be a problem for contact wearers if the residue gets stuck to the rim of the lenses. Others just have issues with eyeliner that’s always smudging, creeping into lines and wrinkles or just melting away.
If this sounds familiar, try these tips:
1. Avoid using soft, thick, crayon-like eyeliner pencils. For example, I love this L’Oreal Smoldering Eyeliner for outlining the top of my upper lid for a natural sexy, smoldering smudge.
But, I would avoid this type of eyeliner on the inside lid (water-line).

Why:
First, it’s hard to control and often deposit too much color.
Second,  it’s so soft and will leave residue on your contact lenses.
Third, it will melt, smudge and disappear too quickly.
However, that being said, this eyeliner works beautifully for on outer upper eyelids. It’s hard to find this at the local drugstore, but you get it on Amazon.

Best eyeliner for all situations
2. The best waterline eyeliner suitable for contact wearers and for those who want a smear-proof, soft natural everyday look is a water-proof gel liner that’s applied with a soft pointed brush. Click on the photos below to see more colors.

A smudge-proof, water-proof eyeliner gel that’s applied with a thin pointed brush is an excellent choice, especially for application control.
Why:
You’ll have more control over the application
It won’t deposit too much color per swipe
It won’t disappear, melt or smudge as quickly
It won’t leave as much residue on your contact lenses
3. If you still have an issue with residue on your contact lenses or smearing, then avoid the waterline all together. Instead try smudging the liner into the root of the eyelashes. This will also make the eyelashes look thicker too. You can see how to do this in the eyeliner tutorial below…

Water-proof Gel Eyeliner – (Best eyeliner for contact lenses!)
Water-proof, smudge-proof gel based eyeliners are very contact lens friendly and will eliminate the problem of your liner disappearing or melting into any eye wrinkles, folds or hooded eyelids.
But, some feel it can look intense and harsh and I agree. Well, here is an eyeliner tutorial for a natural everyday look. And, if you want to “glam-it-up” you’ll see how you can add the liner above the lashes and into the waterline for more effect.

What I like about this eyeliner is it won’t dry immediately so you have time to wipe away and first time mistakes. And of all the gel eyeliners I’ve tried, this brand NEVER irritates my eyes. You can check out all the different gel eyeliner colors offered by Mommy Makeup here.

Puffy eyes or crepey skin?
If you have issues with puffy or crinkly, crepey under eye skin – you can temporarily hide them with one swipe of the Easy Eye Solution Instant Eye Tuck Serum. You can get on sale at Amazon…

Want FREE SHIPPING, the Instant Eye Tuck serum is also available here.
How to apply eyeliner final tips
Remember, there is no wrong or right way to apply eyeliner. How you apply it or what type of eyeliner you use all depends on many factors like your eye shape and what issues you may have.  it’s a matter of what works best for you. 
A Note About Hard Wax Eyeliner Pencils: Some complain that hard-waxy type eyeliners are difficult to apply because they don’t depositing enough color, especially when they’re brand new. So here is what you can do:
Try warming it up a bit, by placing the tip into the palm of your hand for a few minutes, the color will glide on more easily.
Or, consider rolling the tip between your fingers (make sure your fingers/hands are clean) for a few seconds. 
If you have any eye issues or medical conditions, always consult with an ophthalmologist before applying eyeliner or eye makeup.

Before You Go…What’s Going On With Your Eyebrows?

Well defined eyes need full-looking eyebrows to help frame the face and provide a more youthful, approachable face. Thin, spare, barely-there eyebrows can make you look older, washed-out, or tired.

Beware of Free Trials for Anti-Aging Products – an Investigative Report

Get the Facts on Free Trials for Beauty Creams Have you been scammed by a free trial for an anti-aging cream? Keep reading! In this review about free trials, I’ll give you tips on how to cancel and hopefully get your money back! Before I go any further – if you’re looking for a phone number to cancel a free trial, please check for the number on my latest blog post: Skin Care Free Trials – Phone Numbers for Cancellations Free Trials – How the Ads Lure you In You’ve probably seen the alluring ads with captivating headlines such as “Dr. Oz Calls this a Miracle Cream,” or “Katie Couric’s Backstage Secret,” or “Shhhh Don’t Tell Covergirl.” The latest scam is the “as seen on Shark Tank” creams. Stories of women who “accidentally” discovered a miracle breakthrough in anti-aging by using one cream at night, and another cream in the morning. Honestly though, who doesn’t want to find a miracle cream to reverse the hands of time overnight? Unfortunately, there is a very deceptive, dark side to these offers, one that most people miss and don’t discover until they notice the exorbitant and monthly recurring charges appear on their credit card statements, leaving them feeling scammed and frustrated. In this article I will articulate how this new wave of “short-term” (12-14 day) free trials suck you in, how they function, and why I don’t like 99% of them. My Interviews with CBS I was interviewed by Cristin Severance with CBS 11 in Dallas, Texas about Beauty Cream Free Trials (watch it here).  Cristin is a Consumer Justice Investigator and has won 7 Emmy Awards! I was also interview by Bettie Cross of with CBS Austin, TX (watch it here or click the video below). Educating yourself on how these supposed free trials actually work is your best defense against being taken for what can sometimes add up to hundreds of dollars! The Combo Free Trial Offer Back to the combination offer. In the example I used above, the combination free trial offer was BioGeniste Wrinkle Reducer and Dermal Meds. But I could literally cut and paste about 100 different wrinkle creams in their place because the ads are IDENTICAL, and they often rotate. “Avonlea and Pristine,” “Nuvalift and Puravol,” Bellalabs and Dermaperfect,” “Absolute Rejuven and Absolute Derma,” “Splendyr Instant Wrinkle Reducer and Levela Anti-Aging Cream,” “Luminelle and Alleure.” There are so many that I can’t possibly list them all but some of these may ring a bell. They all follow the same story line, usually referencing a celebrity and also a normal lady with the likeness of “Brenda” who by accident, discovered that by using one cream in the morning and one cream at night, she obtained miraculous results. And before you know it, you’re ordering your free trials of both creams. Sound familiar? Be weary of any offer that won’t let you proceed to checkout without agreeing to order a second or third eye cream or serum in order to get the cream you’re trying to order – huge red flag! The Allure of Looking Younger Overnight As women, we want to find a cure for our wrinkles to look young and vibrant again, and wouldn’t it be nice to find something that works overnight?  Or in two weeks? Take for example, the picture of this woman on the right “Brenda,” who I’ve seen in numerous ads for various wrinkle creams lately, she’s a poster girl for these scams. This particular ad is promoting a combination free trial of BioGeniste Wrinkle Reducer and Dermal Meds, and Brenda claims that she obtained these results by using these two products in combination. I’m sorry to say, but there is no wrinkle cream, or combination of, that will give you this type of result, and this happens to be  a photo-shopped image purchased on a popular website called “shutterstock.” Do Celebrities Really Endorse Wrinkle Creams? No, they don’t! These scam companies claim celebrities such as Sandra Bullock, Ellen Degeneres, Katie Couric, Christie Brinkley – even Queen Kate – use these creams to obtain their ageless skin – and the “proof” seems nothing short of amazing in the before and after pics. But I can assure you, none of these Hollywood stars promote any of these fly-by-night wrinkle creams scams, much less use these garbage creams. There are also Youtube clips placed conveniently for credibility, but irrelevantly. For example, there is one video of Ellen Degeneres floating around to boost the claim that she’s promoting a specific eye cream, but if you watch the video you will realize that she’s merely doing a comedy stand up act where she jokes about what a klutz she is when she uses an eye cream (in a general sense). What about Dr. Oz Wrinkle Creams? If a picture of Dr. Oz (or any other celebrity) is in a wrinkle cream ad, it must be true right?  WRONG, think again! Dr. Oz is plagiarized more than anyone on the web! These scam artists use his pictures, video clips, fake quotes, anything to make you believe that Dr. Oz is recommending them. In this picture of Dr. Oz and Oprah, they state that Oprah is retiring to pursue her new skin care line with Dr. Oz. This is a flat out lie, please don’t believe them.  Dr. Oz does not, I repeat DOES NOT have his own skin care line, cream or serum. These crooks can say anything they want, don’t believe their false advertisements! I’m not trying to be mean about this, it’s not your fault that there are liars and crooks out there, I’m just trying to help open your eyes so you won’t fall for it. I get countless emails every day from women saying “I ordered Dr. Oz’s serum and now he billed me $90, what a jerk for being involved in these scams.” Truth is he’s NOT responsible, because these are not his creams. These are crooks and liars using his name to sell their products! Skin Care Free Trials – Phone Numbers for Cancellations Shark Tank Ads, Angelina Jolie, Kelly Rippa – The List Goes On Don’t fall for the latest “as seen on Shark Tank” creams. These ads are all over Facebook and they are bogus. Beware of ANY ADS for creams on Facebook and always scroll to the bottom to read the terms and conditions. And Kelly Rippa is NOT quitting her show to “focus on her skin care line full time.” Nor is Angelina Jolie launching a new skin care line to help her recover from her divorce. This is nothing short of deceptive and misleading advertising. Flat out lies.  How Does a Free Trial Actually Work? “Free trials” are NOT free. When you sign up for a free trial, you’re not only giving them all of your personal information, i.e. name, address, phone, email, but you are REQUIRED to enter your credit card information to accept the free trial (to pay for the shipping). Oftentimes, the fine print is so far down the page that you won’t see it unless you scroll down, and most people don’t even notice it, and therein lies the problem – most don’t know what they’re signing up for! These scams I’m warning you about are garbage and their phones don’t even work half the time, and there is a HUGE difference in quality.  By accepting the free trial, you are agreeing to try the product for 12-14 days (this is what I refer to as a short-term free trial, which 99% of them are). On the 14th day, you will be billed for the full price of the wrinkle cream that you received (usually about $90, and you can double that if it’s a combo offer), and subsequently billed 30 days later for another month’s supply. In the example below for Puravol (copied and pasted from their website, had to scroll down to find it), the trial period is only 12 days, and on the 12th day you’ll be billed $99.15, and billed $99.15 every 30 days thereafter. The problems with most free trials are as follows, some are shocking! 12-14 days is hardly enough time to receive the product, much less try it for a long enough time period to decide whether you like it or not. In my experience, companies who offer a 30 day trial usually have good products, and there are very few of them. Most people don’t realize that they will be billed on the 12th day for the full product amount (normally around $90), and each month thereafter (double for a combo offer) most of these companies are IMPOSSIBLE to reach by phone to cancel, and sometimes publish non-existent phone numbers many of these companies are fly-by-night, and you won’t be able to “return the unused product for a refund,” because…… many of these companies are based in countries without an extradition policy (i.e. Venezuela, Panama, Pakistan), meaning they run their scams and sucker people out of their money, and we, as consumers, have no recourse other than cancelling our credit cards with our banks altogether to get out of the recurring arrangement many of these companies, once the negative publicity starts to surface, package up their products in new boxes and slap a new name on it, and run the scams all over again most of these companies don’t fully disclose their ingredients list which is not a good sign, this usually means it’s nothing special or else they’d want to brag about it beware of filling out surveys with “free gifts” involved, as these often lead to wrinkle cream scams (even on well known websites) the billing company company name will NOT match the scam cream you buy online…another method to thwart you from contacting them or not noticing the charge. What You Can Do To Fight Back – Please help me share this! First of all, would you do me the favor of “liking” me on Facebook? If I’ve helped you in some way, you can leave me a review on Facebook and I would be grateful.  More importantly, share this article on Facebook with your friends and family! Alert them to these scams! You can share it by clicking the Facebook share icon on the left hand side of your screen or at the bottom of this article, or copy and paste the URL link and post to your Facebook page. Tips for cancelling trials: First and Foremost, you need to call the Cream Manufacturer and request they cancel your ongoing subscription and demand a refund. Check for the number on my most recent blog post Skin Care Free Trials – Cancellation Phone Numbers. I’ve compiled this list over the last few years and have over 350 companies! If you don’t find the phone number on my list, call your bank to ask if they have a number (look for the s&h charge since it will be billed under a different company name than the actual cream you ordered). BE FIRM WHEN YOU CALL TO CANCEL – If they are not cooperative, threaten to report them to the Better Business Bureau (BBB), your states Attorney General’s office and the FTC (Federal Trade Commission). Don’t agree to their 30% or even 50% refund or a $35 restocking fee. BE FIRM.  Ask to speak to a supervisor – don’t take NO for an answer. To put it simply – put on your boxing gloves if you don’t usually wear them.  Continue to hold. Sometimes getting through takes half an hour or more! They put you in an endless loop of being on hold so that you’ll get frustrated and hang up. Ask for a cancellation confirmation by email. This way you’ll have something to show your bank if they continue to bill you. If none of this works, contact your bank to dispute the charges by filing a fraud dispute. Sometimes they will reverse all the charges and put a block on them. You’re better off using a credit…
