2. Regenerist 3 Step Regime consisting of three ‘hero’ anti-agers;
Regenerist 3 point treatment cream, 3 point super serum and
Regenerist night renewal elixir. Step one is to hydrate with
the treatment cream, step two is to apply the Super Serum by
tapping over the face and neck and step three is to apply the
night renewal elixir on its own each night. After 60 years of
innovation, Olay have delivered a fantastic product with
dramatic proven results. And its iconic multi-award winning 3
point treatment cream is now available in a fragrance-free
version. They have also just released a mini-kit, perfect for
Christmas gifts where you get a months’ supply of the three
products for the same price as a standard product.
Regular use of a good face mask is another way to give yourself
the benefits of a professional spa treatment and keep your
skin glowing throughout 2013. A favourite product range is
VOYA, an Irish company based in Sligo who harness the
goodness of seaweed in their organic beauty products.
Seaweed helps against the signs of ageing by toning and
stimulating the skin and improving the suppleness and
elasticity. For a great home-spa treatment try their Love A
Scrub anti-ageing facial scrub for fresh revitalized skin and
follow this up with a Maskerade, an anti-ageing moisturising
facial mask. The hydrating pro-collagen extract will leave the
skin feeling and looking totally rejuvenated.
So make your New Year resolution one that you will want to
keep – treating and pampering yourself throughout 2013!
A very happy and healthy 2013 to all our readers!
