Skin Care for 40 Somethings
Rumor has it that 40 is the new 30 (lucky me!), so beauty companies are smartening up and creating anti-aging products that address the concerns of our maturing skin. Let me introduce you to Striking Skin Care.
Striking is a wonderful new line of skin care products that I recently discovered which are specifically marketed to women over 40 (woo hoo!). Supposedly, us forty-something babes (and our flux of hormones) tend to have more age related skin concerns than our younger counterparts. We tend to be more concerned about fine lines and wrinkles, so Striking has seized the opportunity and designed a line to address these more focused aging concerns.
The line consists of four anti-aging skincare products: Multi-Vitamin Cleanser, Multi-Peptide Serum, Restorative Moisture Cream and a Rejuvenating Eye Cream which all contain a proprietary blend of SmartPeptides which stimulates collagen, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and increases the firmness of the skin. This advanced technology helps your skin feel firmer and more supple, and look younger, vibrant and refreshed—this is certainly something I am looking for in my skin care, how about you?
What I am really liking about this new line is the simplicity of it all. Simple and clean packaging, a simple four step regimen, and straightforward effective products. I like the clean fresh smell of all the products and I especially like how gentle it is on my skin–I think even those of you with sensitive skin would be pleased with the gentle efficacy of this line. I especially like the Multi-Peptide Serum which absorbs instantly and noticeably hydrates and slightly firms my skin. I have noticed a subtle shift in my skin since using this line–softer, brighter, and perhaps a bit younger looking. And while this line is geared towards us older broads, I really think is gentle enough to benefit any skin type young or ‘mature’.
If you would like to find out more about this inspired line or purchase products please visit www.strikingskincare.com And I would love to know what your age related skin concerns are and what products you love using that help soften the blow.

The Appeal of a Good Heal
I am one of those gals who likes to have a secret weapon cream, one of those magical little potions in my beauty drawer that does it all when your skin is sensitive, hurt, swollen, sunburned, irritated etc. I like the idea of having this one stop shop go-to-cream in emergencies, and I especially like it when I can even use it on my 5 year old son’s uber-sensitive gorgeous little face. Thanks to SkinAgain, I have found a couple wonderful products that are now my go to instant fix when my skin is irritated in any way.
SkinAgain’s Original Healing Cream has recently become one of my beauty healing secrets! I love it! It is my go to staple for all of my skin annoyances and irritations. It is a cream made of peptides and extracts like aloe vera, squalene, seaweed algae, chamomile, green tea, calendula, burdock root and grape seed oil. No matter what skin aliment I have, I turn to this wondrous little first aid cream and it makes my boo-boo’s go bye-bye. My son even refers to it as ‘Mommy’s Magic Cream’ and recently while we were on a tropical vacation, he got a little too much sun everyday, and this beautiful unction gently soothed his skin every night with no side effects (yippee!) and it was back to normal the next day.
What does this fantastic cream do? It refreshes, heals, relieves laser and razor burns, cools and soothes sunburn, calms irritations like rashes, heals dermatitis, reduces wrinkles, and rejuvenates skin by increasing collagen production–that’s a mouthful of good claims! The Original Healing Cream is especially good for helping to heal burns, relieve pain, calm inflammation, reduce redness and irritation and lessen blistering and scarring (yes, I can totally vouch for that!). In addition, this cream also helps diminish the signs of aging, increases collagen production, reduces surface roughness, and minimizes the formation of lines and wrinkles–it does all this goodness and is very affordably priced BTW.
And now SkinAgain has made a good thing EVEN better with their pRo-tone Healing Serum, a more potent version of their healing cream that specifically focuses on the intense healing of all types of burns. This serum contains a unique blend of phyto-nutrients and peptides which contain vibrational energies of hundreds of natural extracts that work to reduce pain, inflammation, redness and blistering caused by different kinds of burns (like severe suburn, laser, radiation and waxing). This targeted serum is also very high in moisturizers and antioxidants which allows it to pentrate the epidermis layer and treat burn damage at a much deeper level than many other burn treatments. Basically, this is a mega-watt over-the-counter treatment for severe burns (and a more powerful concentrated healing treatment than the original) and the website does a nice job of providing step by step guidelines for how to use this product to treat different types of burns. In my opinion, this product allows you to take the power of cosmeceuticals right into your own hands (healing yourself and saving $$)—Love that!
So if you are in need of a good heal, I am sure you can see the appeal of this great new product. Add one of these babies to your beauty arsenal and I bet it will become your secret weapon in no time. Please post your beauty secret weapons too, I always love hearing from you!
