40% off TimeWise Hand and Decollete Cream Sunscreen SPF15

Order between Monday Oct 17th and Sunday October 23rd and receive 40% off of this fabulous product!  That is an $18.00 value for only $10.80.  Please email me here or visit my website here to place your order.  Quote "H&D Special" when you place your order.

Here’s what women said after using TimeWise Body™ Hand and Décolleté Cream Sunscreen SPF 15. 

• After 2 weeks:
  • 80% said it softens the appearance of crepiness
• After 4 weeks:
  • 80% said skin appears firmer
  • 78% said it helped reduce the appearance of fine lines
• After 8 weeks:
• 85% said skin felt tighter
• 80% said it visibly reduced the appearance of wrinkles
• 60% said it helped reduce the appearance of dark spots

The skin on the back of the hands is relatively thin and fragile, just like the skin around the eyes. And the décolleté area, like your hands, gets a lot of sun exposure. Hand and Décolleté Cream Sunscreen SPF 15 was formulated with several effective ingredients that combined together deliver the most dramatic benefits to these two vulnerable areas.

Dermatologists often call the hand and décolleté areas “giveaways” because they can so readily give away your age. It’s never too late to give the skin in these areas the special attention and protection it needs for a healthy, younger look.

TimeWise Body™ Hand and Décolleté Cream Sunscreen SPF 15 combines several effective ingredients – including the superfruits acai berry and pomegranate – to deliver this impressive list of benefits:

• Minimizes the appearance of crepiness and helps skin look firmer.The formula includes ChroNOline™ caprooyl tetrapeptide-3 that has been shown to provide optimal skin support by boosting collagen and elastin.
• Hydrates and supports the skin barrier, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Our proprietary, patent-pending acai berry extract plus vitamin E helps protect skin by neutralizing harmful free radicals. Pomegranate sterol helps fortify the skin barrier and acts as a humectant to pull moisture into the skin. Shea butter and glycerin provide skin conditioning benefits.
• Helps reduce the appearance of dark spots. The formula contains Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) and ChroNOline™ caprooyl tetrapeptide-3 which have been shown to have an impact on the process that causes pigmentation to occur.
• Protects against UV damage. Sunscreen ingredients provide UVA/UVB broad spectrum defense.

• Suitable for Sensitive Skin
• Clinically tested for skin irritancy and allergy
• Fragrance-free
• Oil-free
• Non-comedogenic
• Dermatologist-tested

Instant Results

Fight fine lines, refine pores and achieve beautifully smooth skin – immediately – with this simple, two-step set.

Step 1: Refine is an advanced exfoliator using the same professional grade exfoliating crystals used by dermatologists, to immediately energize skin and reveal more radiant, healthy-looking skin.

Application: After cleansing, apply a quarter-sized amount of Step 1: Refine to wet face with fingertips. Using circular motions, gently massage face with fingertips for 1-2 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and pat dry. Follow with Step 2: Replenish.

Step 2: Replenish separates the set from the competition. It's a rich serum, containing vitamins, antioxidants and anti-irritants. This serum nourishes the soft, smooth skin revealed by Step 1: Refine.

Application: Following Step 1: Refine, use fingertips to gently apply Step 2: Replenish. Continue with TimeWise® Day Solution SPF 25 or TimeWise® Night Solution and then TimeWise® Age-Fighting Moisturizer.

40% off TimeWise Night Restore & Recover Complex

Order Mary Kay TimeWise Night Restore & Recover Complex between Monday September 19th and Sunday September 25th and receive 40% off!  You will receive this incredible product worth $40 for only $24!  Email me or visit my website to order. Please choose Oily/Combination or Normal/Dry and quote "Restore & Recover Special" in your comments when you order.

Nighttime is the right time for the skin to awaken its age-fighting potential.  This powerhouse product is formulated to optimize skin's ability to recover at night by activating collagen production, restoring the skin barrier and helping to replenish precious antioxidant reserves.  


FACT: During the night, exposure to stress is significantly reduced, making it the right time for skin to focus on restoring itself.  


How it works:
TimeWise Night Restore & Recover Complex contains five key ingredients that give your skin what it needs when it needs it the most.

• It activates collagen production:  TimeWise Night Restore & Recover Complex is formulated with palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, an ingredient known to be critical in activating collagen production and in controlling the activity of damage signals in the skin.
• It targets the skin matrix: The skin dermal matrix, whose primary component is collagen, is the mesh-ike framework that holds the skin together.  The weaker the dermal matrix, the older a person is likely to look.  Since palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 is an ingredient known to be critical in the production of collagen, it's an important ingredient in skin care products that are formulated to fight the visible signs of aging.
• It restores in the skin barrier: A healthy barrier, critical to skin health, is predominantly made up of lipids, whose function can be supported by certain ingredients.  Lipid-rich pomegranate sterol can potentially help strengthen and stabilize the skin barrier.  Cell turnover also is a critical element of skin health, since older skin cells can block fresher, younger cells from rising to the surface.  Chestnut Seed Extract has been shown to help promote cell turnover.
• It helps skin recover from daily damage.  Every day, skin is exposed to free radicals caused by UV exposure, causing lasting damage that can build momentum if left unchecked.  Cotton Seed Extract is known to boost skin recovery and reduce the effects of daily damage.  Palmitoyl terapeptide-7 is known to quiet the messaging signals so less damage gets through to cells in the first place.  And Acai Berry Extract helps replenish antioxidants lost during the day.  Unless those reserves are replenished at night, the cumulative effect adds up until signs of aging become visible.

40% off TimeWise Body Targeted Action Toning Lotion

Order between Monday Sept 12th and Sunday Sept 18th and receive 40% off.  A $28 value for only $16.80. Contact me via email or my website to place your order.  Quote "Toning Lotion Special" in your order.

Skin that’s firmed. Toned. Defined. Hydrated for 24 hours. Sound like a heavenly body? With TimeWise® it’s yours.

If you’ve been praying for a body that appears noticeably toned, with contours that appear firmed and smoother-looking, this supercharged lotion is an answer to your prayers. It combines the benefits of multiple products in one body-loving formula energized by a double shot of caffeine, the power of pumpkin and a totally invigorating scent. The exclusive formula delivers the following benefits:

• Fortifies the skin’s support structure, helping to firm, tone and tighten

• Energizes skin cells for optimal performance

• Helps minimize damage from UV exposure and provides essential hydration

• Protects against future damage from environmental exposure

But we didn’t stop there. Lots of other goodies like our patent-pending Acai Berry extract help your skin minimize the damage that can seem to suddenly appear. It’s almost like giving your skin a second chance.

Beauty at Any Age!

 Everything you do today - or don't do - affects how you'll look tomorrow.  No matter your age, there are skin care steps you should consider to help keep your skin looking its very best.

Environmental factors will contribute to many of the
changes you'll see in your skin as you get older.  So make
sure your skin care routine includes sun protection.

Cellular turnover slows down a bit and skin starts to dull.
Beauty tip: Exfoliation two or three times per week
can restore your skin's glow.

If you've lived a life full of laughter and love,
keep smiling.  The right moisturizer and eye cream
can help fight those expression lines.

As the skin ages, it loses moisture.  Hydrate your skin
with an intense moisturizer before bed, and you'll look
gorgeous now and forever.

Mary Kay TimeWise Firming Eye Cream

Medical researchers tell us - The skin around the eyes has fewer sebaceous glands and less collagen and elastin than skin anywhere else on the face.  And, as people age, the fat pad beneath the dermis diminishes, causing the skin to appear even thinner and the hollowed-out appearance under the eyes.  These unique characteristics of eye-area skin require a little extra attention.

• A luxuriously rich eye cream so advanced it promotes firmness, brightens, provides intense moisturization, plus minimizes fine lines and wrinkles
• The combined power of a collagen-enhancing peptide duo works to build/restore the supporting structure to revitalize cells for firmer skin
• Soothing botanical extracts and brightening agents are employed to condition and prepare the skin for moisturization resulting in a more even skin tone

FACT: The skin around the eyes is the thinnest, most-delicate skin on the face

TimeWise Firming Eye Cream is listed as one of the top ten firming eye creams by FirmingEye.com
