Gravity can be a real bitch. Especially for us mature women first thing in the morning. I stopped gazing in the mirror as soon as I wake up several years ago because the face that stared back at me had a tendency to make me want to scream, “That’s not my face!” Then go back to bed and pull the covers over my head. I’m convinced that gremlins sneak into the bedroom and pull my face out of shape while I sleep. That’s why I always sit up in bed, sip on my morning can of caffeine for at least 15 minutes, and periodically stroke my face in a gentle upwards fashion before I start my morning face care regime. Once I’ve imbibed a good dose of caffeine, and massaged my face enough to undo what those damn gremlins did to it while I was asleep, I am ready to face the day, and the mirror.

Lately, even after I get my face massaged back into some semblance of its usual shape, I’ve noticed the fine lines on my face are deepening, and the crows feet around my eyes are starting to resemble turkey tracks. To help try and reduce those lines and wrinkles I decided to try some of the Dead Sea face care products. After doing some online “window” shopping and comparison pricing I decided to purchase a SeaOra Anti-Wrinkle Kit from a site called Cleopatra’s Choice. This site has a full line of SeaOra products, including bulk baths salts, soaks, scrubs, and mud at reasonable prices.

The Ant-Wrinkle Regime Kit costs $129, and includes a bar of moisturizing mineral soap, exfoliating facial salt, mineral lift serum, intensive anti-wrinkle cream, and mineral eye gel. The price seemed awfully steep to me at first. But after I discovered a tiny amount of everything included in the kit truly does go a long way, I realized that I wasn’t going to be spending any more money on it than I have been by using great gobs of other products. I also noticed very quickly the SeaOra serum, anti-wrinkle cream, and eye gel left my skin feeling firmer and much less greasy than any other product I have ever used.

The difference the anti-wrinkle regime kit made to my overall complexion has been absolutely astounding. After only 3 days I found myself staring in the mirror once more thinking, “That’s not my face!” Only this time I wasn’t thinking that because of what of those dastardly gremlins had done to it while I slept. This time, it was because of how much better my complexion was starting to look. I got so excited about the positive difference in my complexion, I began following the twice daily daily anti-wrinkle regime with an almost religious fever. The only change I have made to the regime concerns the exfoliating facial salt. Because my skin is so oily, and even at age 50 I still suffer from periodic outbreaks of acne, I use it at least once every other day.

As I write this week’s column I’ve been using the Anti-Wrinkle Regime Kit a little over a week now. The lines around my eyes have become slightly less noticeable. And the parenthesis around my mouth are also beginning to fade a little. Nothing short of a good nip and tuck job will erase all the lines and wrinkles time has left upon my face. And thanks to those dastardly night time gremlins, there are always going to be mornings I will still vaguely resemble a Shar-pei pup if I am thoughtless enough to gaze in the mirror as soon as I wake up. However, considering the results the SeaOra Anti-Wrinkle Kit has already produced, you can bet your bippy I will be continuing my twice daily use of it.
