Silent Enemy Number One --- an adversary that creeps up on you in the middle of the night, and wallops you right in the middle of your forehead. Yeouch! This uninvited creature’s invasion leaves a mark, not only physically, but mentally. It can ruin your day…and some days, it can even make you break down and cry.
I’m talking about the dreaded wrinkle….and about that slow-motion revelation that happens to each and every one of us where we stand in front of the mirror, honestly and 100% completely CONFOUNDED face-to-face with a newly-noticed furrow or crinkle and say: “WHEN did THAT happen?”
And ladies, yes, we ALL have “that moment” and we ALL get wrinkles. Hence, we all are united in the good fight. We cleanse, we tone, we moisturize. And then we make a trip to the wrinkle cream aisle and lo and behold…we are stunned – deer caught in the headlights facing hundreds of products to choose from. We absorb TV ads that show a young girl or a softly lit middle-aged woman with perfect bone structure exclaiming “My product is BETTER because it contains XYZ” and we accept it, because, well, it’s on TV, right? And we listen to the promises -- increased hydration, smoother complexion, less brown spots – and the best ever from the “vague promise” category: “diminished appearance of fine lines.”
We want more than that. We want it all. Frankly, we want these suckers GONE for GOOD. And, it would help if we didn’t have to pay a small fortune. It’s both challenging and confusing to wade through product after product, and even more challenging to stay up with the latest and greatest of ingredients, delivery systems and scientific breakthroughs. You’d need a personal intern to dredge through all the information and commit themselves to strategic testing to tell you the honest personal truth if a product works.
Until now. That all leads me to – WELCOME TO THE ANTI-AGING ARSENAL. I created this website to be a place where women can come and see my personal reviews of the products I’ve tried. The ones that have failed me. The ones that have saved me. The “DO WITHOUTS” and the “CAN’T LIVE WITHOUTS.” Oh, and I’ve been in this game for almost 30 years…deciphering… reading…buying… returning and learning. Anti-aging has been a hobby of mine since I was 16 and I’m about to turn 45. I’ve tried the gamut – from exotics such as Emu oil, and the 80’s Lancome product with placenta (don’t ask), to the reasonably priced, and the wow I can’t believe this is so cheap – and now you can benefit from this experience. Wanna know what a chemical peel feels like? Restalyne injections around your mouth? Lazer removal of sun spots? You’ve come to the right place. Wanna know about an AMAZING dermatologist in Beverly Hills who is kind and really cares? You’ve come to the right blog.
People often react with a degree of shock that I’m 45. I get comments that I look 10 years younger. Sometimes, on a good day, I even get carded. Well, that actually hasn’t happened in 2010 yet… But I started early with my experiments and know a few in’s and out’s, so let me be your guide on the journey to anti-aging.
On a personal note, I’m back in the saddle again and looking to discover something new. Let’s just say that not getting carded in a while and another wonderful “MIRROR” confrontation where I’ve noticed a few more “battle scars” has gotten me motivated to try even harder. The good news is that anti-aging science has accelerated at leaps and bounds so we can all benefit from some wonderful advances and new ingredients. Please join my journey. Is there a miracle product out there? If there is, I’ll be blogging about it. Subscribe and you’ll be the first to know.
Afterall, we are all on a quest to find the best anti-aging tips, tricks and products to conquer the war on wrinkles. But, let me just say now, that anti-aging is a mind-body-spirit PHILOSOPHY and is NOT just about the products we use. Hopefully, you’ll find some useful tips here about saying positive, relaxing, embracing yourself for who you really are – yes, even embracing your chronological age, all the while knowing you’ve got The Anti-Aging Arsenal to help you look younger and feel great.
