Review: Dead Sea Premier Anti Aging / Anti Wrinkle Cream

In February, I made a 1 month commitment to try a new skin care routine. I used: Dead Sea Premier Luxury Facial Cleanser (Reviewed on 3/2), Dead Sea Premier Biox Intensive Age Treatment Serum (Reviewed on 3/16), and Dead Sea Premier Anti Aging / Anti Wrinkle Cream.

I was having some trouble with breakouts when I first started the new routine, and figured that it was the standard “starting something new” thing. So, I weathered through for a bit, but finally had to give up the cream. It just didn’t work for me.

Dead Sea Premier Anti Aging CreamBasics: It is very rich, and likely ideal for dry or weathered skin.

Extravagance: It promises to replenish skin, and increase elasticity.

Imperfections: My skin did not like it. First, I used it twice a day, then cut it back to nights only, and finally cut it out of the process.

I would love to hear from people who have had success with this cream, as I fear my skin is too oily to benefit from this product.

Review: Dead Sea Premier Biox Intensive Age Treatment Serum

I have a stern brow-line. It’s bad. More often than not, if I’m sitting at my desk, focusing on my work, people assume I’m doing something I really don’t want to do. I just look angry.

I remember sitting with a coworker at a past job, mixing work with a little bit of social bonding, and he told me that he’d seen a show on TV with an actress that looked a lot like me. He pulled a picture up on his computer to show the other people in his office. I was really flattered… until he said this: “She looks just like you, but happy!”

I’m happy! I’m usually on the verge of giddy. Grrrr, I hate my wrinkles!

So, I tried this: Dead Sea Premier’s Biox Intensive Age Treatment Serum.

Basics: It’s a topical alternative to Botox – a pinkish gel with red specks. You apply it after cleansing and toner (if you use it), and before moisturizer. The tiniest pump will cover my entire forehead and the dread between-the-brows “H” (you know, the creases that imply displeasure.)

Extravagance: The bottle is beautiful. Heavy red glass, with an elegant shape that you’ll want to leave out on your counter. Also, to state the obvious, no excruciatingly painful injections!

Imperfections: The bottle is glass. I’m a klutz. My Biox is now in a tiny food-storage container. I suppose that’s my downfall, not the downfall of the product. <sigh>

All-in-all, I saw improvement. I could feel when a scowl was coming on, and correct it. It didn’t have the same “total freezing” of the muscles that I hear Botox does, but my results were noticed by others as well. Take, for instance, these recent quotes:

“You’ve been very calm lately.”

“Wow, you seem a little distant.”

“You look well-rested.”

I’ll take all of them!!!

Review: Dead Sea Premier Exotica Aromatic Mineral Body Treatment

Yummy!

I’ve used a lot of salt and sugar scrubs in my time, and I love the way they make my skin feel. As I’ve told you before, it’s my favorite pre-shaving treatment for my legs… it just gives me such smooth results.

This one… HERO!

Basics: The Dead Sea Premier Exotica Aromatic Mineral Body Treatment is, of course, a salt scrub. It is not too oily (so less shower slippage), and it smells terrific – which leads me to the extravagance….

Extravagance: This stuff smells awesome. I find myself using less of it because I want it to last longer. You know what! I’m figuring out that a little goes a long long way! It smells a little like a vacation – more tropical than the ingredients would imply. The strongest scent is the almond oil, but there are hints of tropical flower. Truly a great eye-opener (especially if you are like me, and drag yourself to the shower in the morning like a zombie!)

Imperfections: None! Fact!

Buy it… I hope you’ll love it too!

Review: Dead Sea Premier Luxury Facial Cleanser

A little over a month ago, I decided to swap out my known morning and night facial routine, and try a complete Dead Sea product routine.

The first, and perhaps most important part of this routine, was the Dead Sea Premier Luxury Facial Cleanser.

Basics: It is really creamy. Much more-so than I expected. The cleanser includes “micro grains” so I anticipated… well… more of a scrub feeling from it. Frankly, the “micro grains” were undetectable.

Dead Sea Premier Luxury Facial CleanserExtravagance: While the Facial Cleanser is very creamy, it rinses very clean – no greasy residue. My face felt clean the first time I used it. And, it takes make-up off effectively. I did not even have to use an eye make-up remover!

Imperfections: Of course, with any new skin care regimen, breakouts are more likely. I had made a 1-month commitment to the new routine, so I continued to use through the minor blemishes that occurred after about the third day.

My face cleared up quickly, and I carried on through the month. My skin was not clearer than when I started, and I still have some red marks where the blemishes were,though I never felt like my skin was not getting proper cleansing.

My husband is now using the product – and it goes a very, very long way – we still have about a third of the cleanser left!

I have since returned to my old face wash. For now, I’m not giving it up.

Next week I’ll fill you in on the next step of the trial routine!
