Auction Item #7: Aging Potions

Posted by Maralise | August 28, 2008 | 7 Comments

I am completely enamored of skincare. And, if I do say so myself, I have really great skin. I like to make a lot of my beauty supplies and these two items are the stars in my beauty arsenal: One is an Eye Salve to wear at night. It’s made of shea butter, aloe and avacado; so gentle and terribly moisturizing. I had some dead, dry skin under my eyes a few years ago that I could not get rid of, no matter what I tried. I messed around in my secret laboratory for a while and voila! I came up with a thick, all-natural eye cream and the dry skin has disappeared for good, as have all the little lines that were beginning to form.

The other product is Olive Squalene. It’s an olive oil extract that is fantastic. It seems a little weird to put oil on your skin, but it’s quite light and is absorbed pretty quickly. It has excellent healing and restorative qualities, and can help with age spots and fine lines. It also is an antibiotic by nature and can calm down acne. (I know, oil + zits = bad, but olive squalene is different.) Which is why companies charge the big bucks for it ($48 for one ounce! cough, choke). I slather it on every night and my skin feels incredible by morning. This is especially great for dry skin, whether it’s due to climate or “maturity”.

These are made of all-natural ingredients and are even safe to use on baby skin (although what a waste of money!) Plus, look how cute the labels and packaging are!
