Discount Skincare Dupes for Murad Retinol Resurgence skincare

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Happy pandemic day #Icantremember ...it's been so long. So instead of focusing on the ongoing quarantine - let's take a moment and find joy in the moment. We need to direct our minds to the joy that is possible, right now, in the moment. Please don't miss this moment and wait for "something" to happen - take a deep breath, look around, find the joy - and enjoy it.

Today I have a video that shows some skin care choices from Amazon that are in a lower price range than ordering my all-time favorite skincare Murad. Quarantine life has forced some financial choices to be made and I don’t want to give up my retinol regimen but I do need to curb the cost. 



So say hello to Yeouth and Neutrogena! Thank you for watching and sharing!

Olay Regenerist Retinol 24 - Would You Use This?

Hi ya Gorgeous,

I'm switching up my skincare as the new environment is providing some new skin challenges.
What is that you say? The San Fernando Valley is a desert filled with a large city. So it's similar to Arizona though add in a lot of smog and pollutants that have my skin looking dull! No bueno!

So I'm looking to try this new creme from Olay that is retinol based and should help the turnover of skin to get mine back to  being bright and clear instead of dull and clogged. I'm looking to switch to a system of cleanser, toner, serum, moisturizer and eye cream.  What do you suggest?

Have you tried it? Is it worth the cost? This is what  the Olay website says about the product:

" Olay Regenerist Retinol 24 Facial Moisturizer penetrates deep into skin’s surface layers. Our proprietary blend of Vitamin B3 + Retinol complex hydrates skin for 24 hours for a bounty of benefits. You’ll see visible improvements in fine lines & wrinkles, smoothness, brightness, firming, dark spots, and pores. Retinol 24 delivers all of these benefits with virtually no irritation. This fragrance and dye free moisturizer absorbs quickly and goes deep into your skin’s surface layers so you wake up every morning to younger-looking, radiant skin. Use Olay daily for 28 days and see true skin transformation. "

Really?

Okay.

I'm interested.  Let me know in the comments if you have used, find it a value for the price and quantity of product. Thanks!

Why Try A New Skincare? Meet PCA Skin

Hi ya Gorgeous!

Happy Monday! I love a Monday! I get so much accomplished on a Monday! Today is no different! I'm busy prepping for the American Film Market with several new projects that are ripe for distribution and then a product launch on a pet side project! Woot!

Today I have a skin care introduction to you for Arizona's own skincare brand, PCA Skin.

Why try a new skincare? Because I think the skin, like the hair, can build up a memory and tolerance to products and stop working as well as they did in the beginning. So, I'm testing a new serum, retinol and moisturizer from PCA Skin.

I found the product recommendations for my skin using the consultation tool on the website - but - felt like their recommendation for a moisturizer would be too light for me, so I got the heavier product in their line. Even that is light compared to what I am used to!

 I've got a video for you too! Enjoy!  So far, I'm loving how active the products feel on my skin meaning the retinol has me a bit pink and the serum gives a tightening feel.  Get your own to try by visiting their website: http://pcaskin.com

Murad Skincare gets you red carpet ready

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Hello Monday! I love Mondays! I get so much done on a Monday.

So, I'm hitting the ground running today and have to re-watch my TWD (The Walking Dead recording) because I can't believe what I just saw.
I also have to get a ton of videos made and then some, and may I say, then some!

I want to watch some YouTubes of the ACM's and I Heart Radio Radio awards. While that is happening, I am adjusting and getting back in to the swing of things at home in Arizona.

 So I'm blessed beyond belief when I got home last week and this box of goodies from Murad was waiting for me.

My fave skincare, waiting for me when I got home from a month long gig. Thank God for that!

 There is a shampoo and conditioner to put on a fresh coat of temporary color to make haircolor look new and hide some greys!

There are many choices in application: from a wand to a marker

 I have tested them both and find the wand gives more color, but the marker has more control.

 See for yourself here-this is me putting the wand of color on.

 And this is the results.

 Now this is me putting the  marker on while using the scalp guard.

 You can see the results here of the marker on one side and the wand on the other. What do you think?
