How I Battled Crows Feet and Won With Intensive Eye Cream
|
||
Over the past five or six years ever since I turned thirty, I must have tried close to fifty different skin care and anti-wrinkle products. Of course every one of them was over hyped to one degree or another, but some actually did work. However; no where near as well as promised. So through it all I've learned to become more of “realist” as I have tried newer products.
The most recent products I've offered myself up as a guinea pig for, is the Kinerase line. What really caught my attention is their use of kinetin, a natural plant based hormone that's alleged to have anti aging and fluid retaining properties. OK. Sounded good to me.
But I've been taken before by “bio-chemistry mumbo jumbo hype”, so this time around I actually typed “kinetin” into my Google search engine and “presto”, this stuff is for real! So now I just had to try it and my first target of attack was the stubborn crows feet around my eyes.
They gave me hell the way they'd come and go. After a good weekend of rest, they weren't so bad. However; come Friday night, when I was getting ready to go out for the evening there they were, clear as day. So I wasn't asking for much. Just some relief for two nights each weekend and I'd be sold.
My Kinerase Intensive Eye Cream arrived in the mail on a Wednesday and I was so tempted to try it out in the bathroom at work, but I resisted. I wanted to see how well it would work on my “full tilt” crows feet that were always there to greet me in the mirror after a week of fielding phone calls at the busy custom truck and auto parts distributorship where I worked.
Now I've tried these types of “wonder treatments” before, so I definitely went at it with an open mind. I got home from work on Friday afternoon went to the bathroom and applied it around my eyes, just as the instructions said. Then I went and layed down to take a nap for a few hours before I got ready to go out.
I figured that when I woke up, if I could see just “some” difference, any difference, I would go ahead and work with it for a while to see what it would do over the long haul. If there was nothing, which I was fully prepared to accept then I would simply chalk it up as another over hyped product I'd been suckered into trying. No big deal!
So I'll skip the part about my nap and just get to the part where I woke up and looked in the mirror three hours later. I was completely shocked! Kinerase Intensive Eye Cream not only delivered immediate results but they were drastic results. Absolutely amazing!
The odd thing about it too was that it as effective as it is, it caused absolutely no irritation either before or after I applied it. So anyway to make a long story short, I apply it around my eyes every other night before I go to bed and I no longer have to face my nasty crows feet at the end of every work week.
Why I'm Addicted to the Gentle Daily Cleanser
I really don't like hop-scotching around trying different products. When I find something that I like in the way of cosmetics or skin care products, I generally stick with it. Besides I'm still in college, so until I graduate I just don't have the money to try new products anyway.
So since high school I've been using Clinique's facial bar and really had no reason to change. Then came spring break last year when me and three other girls from my dorm went to Cancun for a week. Two days into our stay we had to change rooms and I left my Clinique facial bar behind so the maid just threw it out.
Of course the other girls all had their daily cleansers, so for the next five days they all let me use theirs and this is when I first tried Kinerase Gentle Daily Cleanser. The first time I tried it, I really liked the smell of it. Gentle Daily Cleaner just smells fresher in my opinion.
I also noticed that it removed my makeup better and also rinsed off easier too. Also to be honest, I found that I really preferred dealing with a squeeze tube rather than a bar that always had to be put back in its case, which I had never really realized until then was such a hassle.
So anyway, ever since that one fateful spring break trip I've been using Kinerase Gentle Daily Cleanser and I think I'm going to stick with it. Now I don't know about other similar cleansers that are available but in my opinion this one is definitely preferable over the Clinique facial bar I had been using up until then.
My Experience with the C8 Peptide Intensive Treatment

My story begins in sunny Southern California where I grew up pretty much on the beach. My family used to belong to a beach club so as a child the sand, sun and surf was pretty much our playground. Then as I began my teen years, just like everyone else back in the 70s I soaked up as much sun as I could.
As I recall no one ever used any type of sunblock other than perhaps the lifeguards, who used zinc oxide paste on their noses and lips. Hey, back then sunshine was considered healthy so the only thing I remember using was Coppertone tanning lotion.
Then sometime in the 80s word began to get out that the suns rays were in fact harmful in excess, which did rink a few alarm bells in my head. All the talk though was of skin cancer, so I pretty much had to learn on my own the price I was to pay for all the rays I soaked up over the years.
It was around the time that I turned forty that I began to realize that I had a problem on my hands. Of course there was premature wrinkling but that wasn't the worst part. At forty I had more and darker age spots on my face, arms and hands than my mother in law and she was in her early 80s!
I tried so many different products that I couldn't even begin to count and absolutely nothing worked. Sure the oily ones would smooth my skin out for a few hours but those creams and lotions actually accentuated by dark age spots. So my next stop was a plastic surgeon to look into getting my skin resurfaced.
I had a laser treatment done on my face, which did help a lot but the fact was that with my neck, arms and hands, there was just too much area to cover. It was during these laser facial skin treatments that my doctor recommended Kinerase C8 Peptide Intensive Treatment which I did begin using.
The results that this product has delivered are nothing short of amazing and most particularly on the dark stubborn spots on the backs of my hands. Just like the instructions say, it took about a month to produce results not only on my dark spots but the wrinkles too.
