Exuviance Targeted Filler T5 – 2012 Holiday Gift Guide

I know how important it is to take good care of your skin, especially since it has to last a lifetime. I’m in my forties, and for more than twenty years, I’ve been using quality cleansers, masques and wrinkle creams to fight the aging process. Thanks to the advice of two smart women, I learned the secret to staying youthful-looking. I’ll share it with you now–You are NEVER too young to start taking care of your skin.

I’ve rapidly aged in the past two years, and I am not happy about this. I don’t want to look old. Part of this rapid aging was due to massive stress, and part due to my lack of income to purchase the beauty products my skin requires to maintain its youthfulness. When NeoStrata contacted me last month and offered me the chance to review another one of their fabulous products, I was thrilled! Not only do I love testing new beauty products, I knew that what they’d send me would most-likely help me look a little younger, especially since I’ve reviewed their Exuviance Daily Antioxidant Peel CA10, Exuviance Rejuvenating Treatment Masque, and their Exuviance Performance Peel AP25, and have enjoyed seeing the benefits of these products on my face.

If you're experiencing saggy deep expression lines and don't wan't to take drastic measures Exuviance Targeted Filler T5 - Deep Wrinkle Filler is what you're looking for!

ABOUT THE FILLER:

According to NeoStrata, 93% of participants reported overall signs of aging were less noticeable after 8 weeks of twice daily use of this potent filler.

  • Triple boost formula with CitraFill™, NeoGlucosamine® and Matrixyl® Peptides targets collagen
  • Enhances natural volume in targeted areas to help fill in the look of deep expression lines over time
  • High-precision soft tip pen allows direct application to problem areas

Exuviance Targeted Filler T5 helps painlessly build skin’s natural volume over time, reducing the look of deep lines and wrinkles for truly natural, younger looking skin. The special high-precision soft tip pen allows you to apply Exuviance Targeted Filler T5 directly to problem areas, delivering highly targeted benefits that go beyond your daily antiaging skincare regimen. Unlike instant topical fillers, this unique formula contains three potent boosters that attack the look of deep wrinkles from within the skin. Patented CitraFill™, NeoGlucosamine® and Matrixyl® Peptides work together to help fortify collagen* and build skin’s own natural hydrating matrix*. As a result, volume is increased over time, directly beneath deep lines and wrinkles, so they appear filled, smoother.

“For patients experiencing sagging skin and deep expression lines looking for an effective topical solution, I would encourage them to try Exuviance Targeted Filler T5. This high-performance product contains a triple boost formula with CitraFill™ to help stimulate your own natural collagen and build your skin’s volume directly beneath the wrinkle. The unique applicator allows for a precision targeting of the product exactly where you need it, nasal labial folds, forehead creases, around the eyes, or wherever you see lack of volume. While not as dramatic as an in-office procedure, it’s an easy and painless alternative to invasive courses of action.” -Dr. Julie K. Karen, a board certified dermatologist who specializes in dermatologic and laser surgery, cosmetic dermatology, and Mohs micrographic surgery and currently practices at the Laser and Skin Surgery Center of New York.

MY THOUGHTS:

I was sent 0.35 oz of this product which I used over the past six and a half weeks. It was pretty easy to use, but I did have a little mishap the first time I pushed down on that plunger, as shown in the photos below. All I had to do was unlock and then rotate the plunger counter-clockwise to get the process started. When I depressed the plunger, I did so a little to hard, so I applied the excess filler to my hand, rather than the deep expression lines on my face, lol. But no worries, as I used my finger tip to help apply the product to my ugle brow lines, crow’s feet, and the lines that are now forming around mouth. I used the product correctly twice a day, and its pen tip really targeted my problem areas.

I am happy to report that I did see results after six weeks! I forgot to take an official made-up before picture, but I hope you can see the difference on my face after using the filler, especially after viewing my official after picture.

The ugly brow line that I jokenly refer to as “The Leo” is very diminished, and I couldn’t be happier, because what woman wants to look like a prematurely aged male movie star?

I also noticed some fine lines under my eyes have lessened in their appearance, and that my skin feels and looks healthier. After seeing results from using several different Exuviance products, I am a more than happy to endorse their products to you. I truly believe you should give them a try, because they have always give me great results!

GoPicnic Food Giveaway – 2012 Holiday Gift Guide

GoPicnic was kind enough to send me two of their ready-to-eat meals to feature in my 2012 Holiday Gift Guide this year. I’ve tried their boxed meals in the past, and I’ve always enjoyed each meal I’ve personally tasted. Plus, I think their products are the perfect alternative to eating on the go. It is such a nice treat to eat a meal you don’t have to pack, or go out and get, especially when you want to eat healthier at work or during travel!

I received the Salami + Cheese: Classic Deli Meal, which includes Old Wisconsin Beef Salami Slices, Partners Get Movin’ Olive Oil & Sea Salt Crackers, Copper Cowbell Asiago Cheese Spread, Sweet Perry Orchards Cashew Medley Fruit & Nut Mix and a Funley’s Chocolate Cookie Cluster.. This meal had 10g protein, 2g fiber, had 360 calories, and was utterly delicious, and sells for $4.99. I absolutely loved the salami and the Asiago cheese spread, but was a bit disappointed that my particular cashew medley mix only had two nuts in it!

I also received the Hummus + Crackers: All-Natural Meal, a Gluten Free, Vegan & Kosher balanced meal featuring Wild Garden Hummus Dip, Crunchmaster Multi-Seed Crackers, Seapoint Farms Dry Roasted Edamame, Sweet Perry Orchards Baja Blend Fruit & Nut Mix and an Endangered Species Dark Chocolate Square. 25g protein and 12g fiber, 400 calories, and was also mouth-watering good. The Wild Garden Hummus Dip is THE BEST store-bought Hummus I’ve ever had, and the crackers were out of this world good. It is a steal at the price of $4.99.

GoPicnic offers a variety of meals, ones that are all-natural, gluten-free, vegan, kosher, GMO free, and have no artificial flavors. Actually, all of their meals are made with no trans fats, no high fructose corn syrup, no added MSG, and have no artificial flavors or colors. Who wouldn’t want to eat something so healthy and tasty while traveling, or even on a picnic or as an alternative to fast food on any occasion? I know I would.

You may purchase GoPicnic meals on Amazon.com, or at GoPicnic.com. If you aren’t into the whole online shopping thing, you may also purchase them at the airport, or at Costco, Cost Plus World Market and Wegman’s nationwide.

Visit GoPicnic.com to check out their wide selection of meals now.
