L’Oreal Paris Revitalift – Does It Work? Take the #RevitaliftChallenge and See

December 7, 2018 By Liz 11 Comments

I took the L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Triple Power two-week challenge as part of a sponsored activation, but as always, my opinions of the product are solely my own.

I gave myself an early Christmas gift this year by treating my skin to some serious hydration. Between the dry winter heat and the ticking of time, I figure I deserved it.

Actually, I feel like I’m aging pretty gracefully, but when I look in the mirror and see changes in my skin, I can’t help but wince. Those fine lines are maddening! I’m grateful the fine lines are still fine lines and not deep-set wrinkles, and believe me, I’m gonna put up a fight to keep it that way for as long as I can.

I’ve got genetics on my side, I never sunbathe, I always wear sunscreen and I treat my face with lots of TLC.

And now this: L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Triple Power.

L’Oreal Paris is inviting all U.S. women to take the Revitalift Challenge for 14 days, and I couldn’t resist.

Product Claim: Immediately, skin is hydrated. In 14 days, skin is visibly firmer & wrinkles are visibly reduced.

And, they’re so sure we’ll all see results that they’re backing it with a **money back guarantee.

Before the challenge, I’d been trying different anti-aging skin care regimens and flitting from product to product. It wasn’t until I agreed to take the L’Oreal Paris Triple Power two-week challenge that I realized I hadn’t been tracking results from anything specific to see if it was or wasn’t working.

How dumb is that?!

So here’s how my two-week challenge played out.

I took a photo of my face on day one (sans make-up–yikes!) so I could see if any changes, improvements or failures took place and then I began the challenge.

Every morning after a shower and every evening before bed, I smoothed L’Oreal Revitalift Triple Power moisturizer over my face, jaw and neck. It’s a really creamy moisturizer and spreads easily, so I didn’t have to use much each time.

I continued the routine for 14 straight days (and in fact, am still using the moisturizer post-challenge), but on day 14 I took another photo to compare.

Can you see a difference?

I know it’s kinda hard to see the changes in the photos, but you can really see a difference in person. I think you can tell the skin looks more alive and vibrant now though.

By the morning of day three, my skin felt great – super moisturized and I noticed that the dry patches on my cheeks were no longer there. (They always mention the flaking when I get facials.)

About a week in, I felt as if my fine lines had smoothed out and my crow’s feet were a little more plumped, so that if I wasn’t smiling, those smile lines weren’t visible at all. I’m a big fan of that.

And at the day fourteen mark, my skin felt fantastic (and still does). I’ve completely lost that sensation of “pulling” you get from dry skin. I just feel hydrated, soft and luminous. I’m very happy (which is why I’ve continued to use the product to this day).

I would absolutely recommend L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Triple Power. It thoroughly hydrated my face and rejuvenated my skin’s appearance.

And that’s a gift every woman wants.

Join me and take the #RevitaliftChallenge! Stop into your local Walmart store to purchase L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Triple Power day cream!

**Money back guarantee, up to $24.99 (sales tax will not be refunded). Restrictions apply.

7 Skin Care Myths Debunked + Eucerin Giveaway

August 18, 2013 By Liz 533 Comments

I’ve believed some of these skin care myths for years, but I was totally wrong, so I hope that debunking these seven skin care myths helps you out too! Thanks to my partnership with Eucerin for helping me learn the truth.

Myth #1: Pores open and close, so using hot water opens them up. FALSE.

They appear closed when they’re clogged with dirt and oil, but they don’t have muscles, so they really don’t open and close. The steam from the hot water softens the skin making it easier to removed the hardened dirt and oils, but the hot water dries out the skin. Opt for lukewarm water.

Myth #2: The best way to get your daily Vitamin D is by laying out in the sun. FALSE.

Please don’t! Talk to your doctor about supplements or adding Vitamin D enriched foods to your diet instead of exposing your skin to harmful rays.

Myth #3: Anti-wrinkle creams erase wrinkles. FALSE.

They do a nice job of minimizing their appearance, but they don’t erase them. Prevention is key, so use SPF.

Myth #4: SPF 30 is twice the protection of SPF 15. FALSE.

Doubling an SPF number doesn’t double the protection It prevents a greater percentage of rays from reaching skin, but the difference between SPF numbers is not as significant as you might think. SPF 15 blocks about 93%, SPF 30 blocks about 97% and SPF 45 blocks about 98%. Your greatest concern should be in wearing enough!

Myth #5: A base tan protects your skin. FALSE.

Any time the sun’s rays are penetrating your skin, you’re susceptible to damage so a healthy tan is a myth in itself. Use SPF lotions to protect your skin because a base tan is only equivalent to an SPF of 3.

Myth #6: Makeup with built-in SPF is a safe alternative to sunscreen. FALSE.

It would require an extraordinary amount of makeup to get the desired amount of protection, and makeup just isn’t applied that way. The extra bit of protection is nice, but can’t be relied on. If using SPF 15 cosmetics, you should be pairing that with SPF 15 sunscreen.

Myth #7: It all depends on genetics. FALSE.

Genetics play a role, but your skin health is largely dependent on individual variables like diet, sun exposure and whether or not you smoke.

Eucerin Summer Skin Care + Giveaway

July 31, 2013 By Liz 551 Comments

Summer sun, heat and humidity can be especially hard on skin and it’s an ongoing challenge to keep skin looking its best, but Eucerin sent me some wonderful tips and goodies to help with summer skin care and I wanted to share them with you.

Simple Skin Care Tips for Summer

Tip #1 – Cleanse Gently

Remember to wash your face with a mild, non-irritating cleanser (NOT soap) before you go to sleep each night – it will help to keep skin hydrated, soft and smooth. (Try Eucerin Gentle Hydrating Cleanser!)

Tip #2 – Catch some Zzzz’s

Getting a full six to eight hours of sleep is important for your overall well-being and helps your skin look its best.

Tip #3 – Amp up your Antioxidants

Eat plenty of foods high in antioxidants (summer squash, spinach, strawberries and cantaloup). Antioxidants can help neutralize free radicals that may damage collagen and elastin.

Tip #4 – Make friends with H20

Drinking plenty of water is key to maintaining a healthy moisture balance and a glowing complexion. Make sure you consume at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water each day! Bring along a water bottle with you when you’re on the go to keep yourself hydrated.

To help keep your skin healthy and protected, be sure to get your FREE sample of Eucerin Daily Protection SPF 15 Moisturizing Body Lotion on Facebook! Click here, “like” the Eucerin Facebook Page and follow the instructions.

Throw a Summer Kickoff Party + Eucerin Giveaway

June 30, 2013 By Liz 539 Comments

This has been the weirdest June in years. Not only have I been gone for over half of it, but it has rained almost every day and the forecast calls for the same for at least the next week.

I was trying to corral together the neighborhood kids to help me kick off summer, and I had picked out a couple of ideas from the summertime fun ideas jar, but we kept getting rained out!

With the very last day of June on the calendar, I made a hopscotch grid with colored sidewalk chalk and got ready.

I freakin’ love Hopscotch!

I got some bubbles ready for the kids too. I had a half dozen little bottles and one gigantic bottle with a magic multi-bubble wand. Look at the wind carry them away!

But that’s when I noticed the skies were darkening yet again, and within ten minutes it was a full-on downpour. Sigh.

I had hoped the kids would have as much fun as my own kids did. My daughter loved hopscotch like her mommy!

She spent lots of time drawing all kinds of chalk art creations on the driveway too.

I also have such fond memories of watching my son blink furiously when bubbles were in the air, and he would breathe in a funny way because he was so confused by them.

But back to reality and the present day…

As you head into summer with your own family and friends, be sure you remember to apply your sunscreen at least 15 minutes before heading outside.

The reason I use Eucerin Daily Protection lotion with SPF in the summer is because I’ve been caught in the sun unexpectedly too many times, and as you know, sun exposure can cause wrinkles, age spots and in some cases, even lead to skin cancer. If I have this on every day, I feel better, but I use a high SPF sunscreen when I know I’m headed outdoors.

PS. Shade is your friend and so are sunglasses.

GIVEAWAY!

One lucky reader will win a Eucerin skin safe summer care package including: a glass activity jar, bubbles, sidewalk chalk and a $125 Visa gift card.

Eucerin Hydration Spa Party (of 1) + $125 Visa GC Prize Pack Giveaway

April 30, 2013 By Liz 555 Comments

Having a hydration spa party is a blast!

Having that party all by yourself….not so much. But I was sick most of last month and in self-quarantine, so I’m going to have to just tell you some of my spa party ideas and show you how I managed to have a bit of a spa night myself.

Throwing a Spa Party

Set the ambiance with pretty rolled towels, lots of pillows, greenery and flowers.

Soft, glowing candles add to the relaxing atmosphere.

Decide on spa treatments for the guests: facials, manicures or pedicures.

Display the products you’ll be using so that guests can choose what’s right for their skin type, and be sure to have products for sensitive skin on hand.

Serve fruit-infused water or tea for guests to stay hydrated. Water helps skin look younger and healthier, flushes toxins and helps your body retain important nutrients.

Have nutritious snacks and appetizers available to help hydrate your skin from within.

And then relax and enjoy the spa treatments (even if you’re all alone).

And because I deserved it after being sick so long, I gave myself a French manicure as well.

And remember that following all the Spring showers, there will be plenty of sunshine so be sure to wear a daily SPF lotion like Eucerin Daily Protection SPF 15 Moisturizing Body Lotion.

Eucerin Beautiful Skin at Every Age + Giveaway

March 18, 2013 By Liz 573 Comments

Is your skin hydrated, clear and glowing?

Hydrated – skin has the right moisture balance

Clear – free of clogged pores and dry patches

Glowing – healthy blood supply carrying lots of oxygen and nutrients to the skin

Skin Care Tips at Any Age

· In your 20s… These are the years when you’re forming lifelong habits! Since most wrinkles are caused by sun exposure and smoking, stay away from tanning beds and if you’re a smoker, now’s the time to quit. Apply daily moisturizer and broad spectrum SPF 15+ on your face, neck and chest daily. (Free sample here.)

· In your 30s… Skin becomes thinner and finer, there’s some loss of collagen, and cell turnover has begun to slow down causing some dullness. Physical activity maintains the health of tiny blood vessels in the skin for a healthy glow, aids in the production of collagen and helps balance out acne contributing hormones. Start incorporating an anti-wrinkle crème into your skin routine! (Try Eucerin’s Q10 Anti-Wrinkle Sensitive Skin Crème)

· In your 40s…Your skin begins losing elasticity, and and retains less moisture so it is important to add a moisturizer into your skin routine. Remember to drink plenty of water and keep your diet high in antioxidants! (Check out Eucerin’s Skin Calming Daily Moisturizing Crème for dry and itchy skin.)

· In your 50s and beyond… Along with the skin on your face and neck, remember your hands. Damaged, cracked and dry hands are more likely to develop dermatitis, or eczema. (To repair and protect dry, rough hands try Eucerin’s Intensive Repair Hand Crème.)

It’s best to visit a dermatologist once a year at every age. (You can use the Find a Derm Facebook application to locate one near you.)

I’m not going to pretend I’m the poster child for proper skin care, because I’ll be the first to admit that I have a less than stellar record with it. I used be a daily sun worshiper, and I’ve had more than my fair share of burns.

And to be honest, it wasn’t until I started blogging and working with Eucerin that it finally sunk in. Writing these monthly posts about skin care has sure given me pause to think about mine.

And it started to matter, and I started to care…about it and for it.

I hope you’ll do the same for yours.

Love Your Skin with Eucerin + Giveaway

February 18, 2013 By Liz

February is the month of love, so don’t forget to love your skin with Eucerin!

A daily routine is so important for overall skin health, so here are a few tips from Eucerin to keep your skin looking and feeling its best in February.

Exercise! Not only is it a great way to relieve stress, but the physical activity helps keep the oxygen and nutrients flowing to your skin cells.

Moisturize! Be sure to use rich, nourishing creams to add extra moisture and soothe dry skin, and remember to use lip balm on your pretty pout.

Sleep! It’s one of the first things we give up, but as we sleep, our skin cells have a chance to regenerate. Experts recommend 6-8 hours nightly.

Cut back on sugar! Did you know processed sugar can encourage the breakdown of collagen causing your skin to become dull and less taut? Ugh.

Exfoliate! Gentle exfoliation helps remove dead, flaky skin cells and expose the fresh, healthy new cells.

Vitamin C! Stock up on foods rich in Vitamin C, like guava, kiwi and tomatoes. Vitamin C aids in cell damage prevention, helping your skin be less prone to wrinkles.

Some other things I do and/or am trying to get better at doing are drinking lots of water, using facial washes instead of soap, wearing gloves to help protect my hands from chapping, applying lotion right after I shower to lock in the moisture better, and always wearing some sort of sunscreen.

Jump Start Your Skin’s Metabolism with Eucerin + Giveaway

January 29, 2013 By Liz

I’m not even remotely capable of keeping resolutions, so I never make them. Maybe I should try reverse psychology and make resolutions that are the opposite of what I really want.

Meh, I’m still too slick for myself. I’d see right through my own scam.

But with or without resolutions, I really have been trying to take better care of my skin.

5 Changes I’ve been making to keep my skin healthy and glowing

1. I’m a diet soda drinker through and through, and for that I do make apologies by forcing myself to drink more water every day. My natural inclination is to have none, but if I drink sparkling or flavored waters, I enjoy it. It’s not Diet Coke but….

2. I have always bruised super easily with the slightest bumps, but I’ve found that if I take Vitamin C every single day, it makes a huge difference in helping prevent them, and if I still happen to get one, it heals faster. (I’m no doctor, but it works for me.)

3. For the last year, I’ve been getting a rock solid 8-10 hours a night and I feel worlds better. I used to survive on 5 hours of sleep, but I felt like crap.

4. No more soap. I can’t stand the hassle of using a different wash for my face than for my body, but I do it anyway. I gotta.

5. I don’t ever snack directly from large packages anymore. I portion out a reasonable serving, and that’s all I have. When it’s gone, snack time is over. It’s all about mindful eating now.

I also have an ample supply of Eucerin skin care products to keep me moisturized!

Visit the Eucerin Skindicator App on our Facebook page to get a personalized skin care recommendation from the Eucerin Skin First Dermatologists. I really like knowing that I’m using the products that are best for my skin type!

Here are some more great tips from Eucerin on how to jump start your skin’s metabolism!

Eucerin Healthy Skin Care Habits + Giveaway

December 27, 2012 By Liz

With the new year just a few days away, now’s the time to commit to making skin care health a priority. ‘Tis the season to moisturize!

12 days of skin tips for a beautiful healthy-looking glow:

1) Wear gloves to protect your hands from the harsh winter elements.

2) Take shorter showers and use lukewarm water. Hot water can strip skin of its natural oils and nutrients.

3) Run a humidifier at night to help add moisture to the air and give a boost to skin.

4) When washing hands, use lukewarm water, gentle soap and apply moisturizer right after drying.

5) 3 steps to revive dry feet. 1) Remove dry, flaky skin with a pumice stone. 2) Apply a rich moisturizer, like Eucerin’s Aquaphor Healing Ointment before bed. 3) Lock in the moisture with a pair of socks.

6) For dry, itchy skin relief try Eucerin Calming Crème (with oatmeal).

7) Chemicals and allergens in certain makeups, perfumes, soaps, and detergents can cause skin irritation. Avoid those products and use gentle cleansers!

8) Snow reflects sunlight, so be sure to wear SPF all year round. Use a product like Eucerin Daily Protection Moisturizing Face Lotion SPF 30.

9) Coarse fabrics can cause itchiness if you have sensitive skin. Wear something silky!

10) Getting a full six to eight hours of sleep is important for your overall well-being and helps your skin look its best.

11) To keep lips hydrated and soothe chapping, try applying a few drops of olive oil and honey or pick up Aquaphor Lip Repair + Protect SPF 30.

12) Bundle up with hats and scarves and wear a rich moisturizer to protect exposed skin from the sandpaper-like effects of wind.

Eucerin Smoothing Repair Dry Skin Lotion

This is part of my daily skin routine in the winter. It locks in moisture and makes my skin feel hydrated all day.

Eucerin Professional Repair Extremely Dry Skin Lotion

If your skin has ever been wind-chapped, you know how painful that can be, and I love the quick relief of this lotion. It’s no wonder that it sports the Good Housekeeping Seal; it’s extremely effective.
