This must be a joke, right? A busy and practical woman, “skin care” has always seemed to me an expensive, time-consuming, even selfish indulgence. My priority list seldom has “beauty” listed anywhere in the Top-50, and I just can't seem to find a rhythm where I am comfortable spending money needlessly. The upside: At 46, this has saved our family tons of money... The downside: Looking in the mirror, I can see the lack of pampering becoming more obvious. Since I am baring my soul, I will admit to having had a facial done – a $10 promotion at a beauty outlet in the mall. It was my first-ever facial. The girl looked at me expectantly when she was done and feeling a twinge of guilt, I bought three of the products. I even used them a few times – in the wrong “order”, just because I like the smell of the first product. They now sit, perched on a shelf collecting dust. I am a beauty-fail. An outdoorsy gal, too frequently stuck indoors working on the computer, I still fervently hold to the notion the sun is my friend, rarely using sunblock and preferring to soak up the sun naturally. The sun doesn't worry me, but I do find myself growing slightly concerned over the HEV light being emitted from computer screens, phones and tablets – some research is showing this exposure may cause premature aging. Since I sit in front of my screen far more than I sit in the sun, this is no good! There IS hope, however. I've found something that is making a positive difference in my skin – without being a labor-intensive routine. I was blessed with a sample of a then-unreleased Trim Healthy Natural's “The Fountain: Baobab & Rose Anti-Aging Cream”, and after months of using this, I can say it is pretty amazing stuff! Now, I've been using it somewhat sporadically (you didn't think I would fall into a nice routine, did you?) and in conjunction with Trim Healthy Naturals Orange Silk Hydrating Cream and a Vitamin C Serum I found on a flash sale on Amazon. The Fountain has a light, feminine, rose scent and goes on smoothly – providing moisture, without a greasy or oily feel. Aloe-based, it is good for all skin-types. It is a very “thrifty” product as it doesn't take much per application, so my sample lasted a long while. On days where my skin feels dry, I add a bit of the Orange Silk. Over the last few months, my skin is significantly smoother, firmer, age spots are much lighter and a really sexy (haha) raised age spot with a rough texture has reduced significantly. That's right... RunAmok Mama is feeling less troll-ish! I am going to purpose to use these products with more regularity going forward. I can do this, “skin-care” thing!
