Jan Marini Age Intervention- Give tired skin the boot!

In my everlasting quest for perfect skin, I now move on to the next brand that I put to the test, Jan Marini skincare.

I was a bit nervous delving into the realm of anti-aging skincare, but boy am I ever glad I took the plunge and tried this for myself because these products are pretty awesome.

Free Radicals, pollution, sun exposure. What do all of these have in common?

The answer is that they all cause premature aging of the skin. With all those "no-goodniks" out there causing our skin to age, a girl could use all the help she can get in keeping her skin vibrant and wrinkle free. It truly is never too early to start an anti-aging regime, and it is Jan Marini to the rescue with her age intervention 1-2 punch.

The first step in the regimen that was recommended for me is the Age Intervention Regeneration Facial Mask.

From the website:

Regeneration Facial Mask incorporates resurfacing technology with a host of powerful anti-aging anti-inflammatories including the new red wine longevity extract, Resveratrol, all combined with our remarkable skin rebuilding peptide blend.

• Gives skin a beautifully resurfaced and luminous appearance
• Delivers and infuses superb skin rebuilding, anti-inflammatory and repair properties
• Leaves skin noticeably softer and rejuvenated for days
• Provides amazing progressive benefits for any skin type and condition

I applied this as the instructions said. You apply this all over and let it sit for ten minutes after which you wash it all off with warm water.

Upon application, I can literally feel my skin firming up. It isn't uncomfortable at all, and is in fact pretty exciting because you can actually feel it working. It is gentle on my somewhat sensitive skin, and after the ten minutes are up my skin was softer, smoother, more radiant, and more supple. Unlike with the other masks I have used in the past, the result lasted several days. It also deserves to be mentioned that at no point before, during or after the application did I feel any sort of uncomfortable tingling sensation.

I have been using this product for the past 3 weeks, and it has been working wonderfully!

I have been following up the mask with the Peptide Extreme Facial Serum (which I do use nightly). The serum serves to enhance the results of the mask, hydrating my skin and adding radiance, firmness, and smoothness.

All in all I am very pleased with the results that I have been seeing with this regimen! A big A+ for Jan Marini skincare, I definitely recommend her line.

Bliss Steep Clean= Best Mask Ever!

I make absolutely no secret of the fact that i am awful when it comes to skincare. Give me an artist's palette and I can paint to my heart's content, but give me a tube of facial serum and it will sit in a corner unloved till it just up and leaves.

I have been blessed with pretty good skin (or so people have told me), so I figured I didn't need much upkeep or product to keep it that way. SPF was always optional and most of the time forgotten in my daily skincare (collective gasp here) and moisturizers get used once in a blue moon.

Well no more, this beauty blogger is turning over a new leaf. I solemny swear that I will dedicate myself to taking proper care of my skin. You can hold me to that one folks.

For my first foray into the world of potions and serums, I have a review here for you of Bliss Spa's Steep Clean Pore Purifying Mask. Heaven knows what kind of nasties are living in my pores and I am sure city pollution doesn't help either. My skin in general tends to be combination/normal and is fairly clear. My mine gripes are dullness, and the bumps and scaley skin I tend to get on my forehead from lack of exfoliation.

From the Bliss website: This pore plunging, clog clearing mask will transform skin into a scene of extremely clean when used weekly for 15 minutes. Intensive exfoliation, oil elimination, and deep pore purging are a perfect for all (but especially pimple prone) skin types.

Sign me up for some of that deep pore cleansing fo' reals! With pore purification on the brain, I
embarked on my journey to skincare enlightenment.

This particular mask comes housed in a pump tube with a bivalve delivery system that deposits 2 different kinds of goop (goop being a highly scientific term meaning colored gel substance). Instructions told me to mix the blue and green stuff till it turns seafoam green. I then put it all over my face, allowing my skin to marinate in it for 15 minutes. The smell is fresh and pleasant, and the slight tingling sensation I felt told me it was doing its job. After the 15 minutes were up, I used a small washcloth to wipe my face clean.
But did it really work? Survey has come back and the answer is a resounding YES! After use this baby made my skin soft, smooth (icky forehead bump and scale free!), luminous, and just overall pretty looking. Afterwords my moisturizer absorbed into my skin better, and my makeup just sat better.

Would I recommend this to all of you? Heck to the yeah! While at $54 it is pricey, I think the results made it worth it! It is definitely cheaper than a NY facial, and I am sure this pump will last me a while.

Clean pores await you
