Silk’n Blue – Your Skin Care Clinic at Home

In the past year, the clerks at the liquor store have finally stopped asking for my ID – even though I usually keep it out just in case when I cash out. I look much younger than I am, and sometimes I believe it’s due to my acne.

Adult acne is something I will battle and need to keep under control for the rest of my life.  I’ve tried many of the drugstore acne products. Some work better than others, but I’m always left in the morning patting on powder, hoping it will last the day and that people don’t mistake me for a student (I work at a university).

So when I heard about Silk’n Blue I was excited to give it a shot.

Silk’n Blue is a hand-held treatment device that uses the power of blue light and heat to penetrate your skin, which neutralizes bacteria. Being allergic to sulfa I’m also pleased it’s a natural, drug free solution. Using it was like going to a skin clinic without having to make an appointment, and it was super easy to use.

Olay Total Effects (Review and Giveaway)

It's a long running joke that Chris and I don't look our age. In fact, in the year I got pregnant we BOTH got ID'd (at different bars, but both ID'd nonetheless). When I gave birth, I felt like the nurses looked at me like I should have had cameras following me as if I was part of the cast of Teen Mom (I suppose my doctor had checked my chart long ago and realized my true age, regardless of the fact I had a stuffed Raptor in my hospital bag). We may not look 30 (even if we have the IDs to prove it), but we at least look 24.

But now that I'm back at work and have to set an alarm (not to mention venture out in to the cold on a daily basis), my skin is dealing with the consequences of less sleep, more coffee and drier air. My skin could do with looking a little younger.

Enter Olay Total Effects. It's not your Mom's anti-aging cream anymore. It provides seven anti-aging benefits including line appearance minimization, nourishing moisturization, subtle appearance firming, brightening, gentle exfoliation, pore appearance refinement and anti-oxidants. All things I want to do at this age, long before I'll be able to order from the Denny's Seniors Menu (my own Mom's current joy, after her granddaughter of course).

My favourite items from the Olay line have to be Olay Total Effects Daily Anti-Aging UV Moisturizer Plus Touch of Foundation Cream and Olay Total Effects 7-in-1 Anti-Aging Eye Cream Line and Dark Circle Minimizing Brush. The former is an awesome, weightless foundation which spreads easily and evenly (and even covers my zits. Yes, I still get zits! At this point, you're probably saying to yourself, well no wonder you get ID'd...). Since returning to work the latter has saved me. I look attentive and alert in meetings even if I did have dark circles when I woke up that morning (and am drinking my third coffee). Plus, the brush is so fun to use, I feel like some sort of makeup star.
