burt's bees naturally ageless...

Many of us are concerned that most of the super-effective anti-aging facial treatments on the market are in fact packed with chemicals ...I know I worry, so where to turn for a skin regime that gives you measurable results - the power of the beautiful Pomegranate. Packed full of antioxidants and with a history of use in traditional medicine, we are loving the Burt's Bees Naturally Ageless range...

Not familiar with the Burt's Bees brand? Big on using safe, natural ingrediants and selecting powerful, active plants, flowers and oils to target specific skin concerns, Burt's Bees also use minimal processing and do not use parabens as a preservative in their products.

Burt's Bees Naturally Ageless collection uses a powerful mix of natural ingredients to fight lines and wrinkles, get your glowing skin back and fix those horrible dry patches we all get in winter. Pomegranate pairs up with the South American Para Cress plant that is known to relax expression lines and give skin a smoother look. White Birch Bark increases firmness, Magnolia is used as an anti-inflammatory and is helpful for reducing dark circles, whilst Borage and Evening Primrose Oils contain high levels of GLA - a rare essential fatty acid that is known to help improve skin's firmness and stall the skin's aging signs.

Here' a quick run down of the range - Line Diminishing Day Lotion is just that - light and really easily absorbed. It has a pleasant, mild fragrance (the wild yam maybe?) and fights that nasty free-radical damage our skin faces every day. Line Smoothing Eye Cream works on brightening the skin around the eye area with Para Cress and Magnolia Extract, helping to reduce puffiness and dark circles. I like the cooling sensation of this cream, you can almost feel your puffs deflating!

The star of the range - Intensive Repairing Serum - love! with Pomegranate, Borage Seed and Evening Primrose OIls, this oil is a treat to use under your day cream, although I prefer to use it at night. Smooth a small amount on after cleansing and toning and wake up to clear, nourished, better skin. The Pomegranate builds collagen and elastin and the Evening Primrose helps skin retain moisture and also works on lines and wrinkles. Finally the Skin Firming Night Creme with White Birch Bark, up's hydration and firmness as you get some shut eye.

All Burt's Bees Naturally Ageless products are $56.00 and available from Urban Loft and Smith & Caugheys, Auckland.
