Dear Beauty Conscious Reader,
My patient Cathy S., an early retiree and “snowbird” from New Jersey, loves spending time by the pool at her Florida home, and plays tennis as often as her schedule allows. She recently came to my clinic complaining about her dry and dehydrated skin.
Another patient, Kristin C., 35, was so stressed out at work, it was starting to show on her face with fine lines and crows feet. Being a smoker also didn’t help.
They told me they had tried just about everything – even the expensive stuff from department stores – but were frustrated by the lack of results.
So, I told them about Hyaluronic Acid (HA), and how they could get the results they were looking for with the right moisturizer.
You see, your body produces HA to keep your skin moist. It’s the ultimate skin hydrator. And has the ability to absorb 1,000 times its weight in water to plump up your skin.
In your face, HA gives you the smooth, taut, fullness we associate with youth. When you’re young, you naturally have a lot of HA. But as you age, your body doesn’t make as much and your skin suffers.
Studies show this is one of the reasons your skin changes as you age.1
You can lose HA at a faster rate if you’re a sun worshiper, if you smoke or if you eat a lot of processed foods.2
Without HA, you lose volume in your skin. And suddenly, wrinkles and fine lines appear. But when your skin has enough HA, all that water helps to keep your skin smooth, supple and reduces the appearance of wrinkles.
HA enhances volume and elasticity to restore a youthful balance to your face, so you can start looking younger than you are.
It can produce significant results with topical use. That’s because, unlike many skin care ingredients that simply sit on top of your skin, HA is easily absorbed and penetrates down into the deepest layer of your skin tissue.3
However, make sure your choice of HA moisturizer contains only natural ingredients and no toxic chemicals like propylene glycol, parabens, PABA, PEG or mineral oil. This is very important, because HA also acts as a “carrier.” That means it will carry every ingredient in the formula deeply into your cells.
At my clinic, we recommend two HA moisturizers – without harmful chemicals – that have patients raving.
One combines the best of nature and technology, zapping the free radicals that attack your skin with a powerful antioxidant. Silk Moisturizing Antioxidant Cream with Resveratrol increases hydration and stimulates your body to make more collagen on its own. And it helps protect your skin around the clock from the environmental stressors your skin encounters every day.
While you sleep, its combination of moisturizers and powerful anti-aging ingredients support your body’s natural restorative powers to help nourish and preserve your skin. It also feels amazingly soft and smooth going on. Click here to check it out.
The other HA moisturizer we recommend enhances volume and elasticity in your skin to restore a youthful balance to your face, so you can start looking the way you did years ago. In addition to giving you a radiant, younger-looking appearance, Revive DNA Rejuvenation Cream increases the level of moisture in your skin, decreases the appearance of redness and pore size, and noticeably diminishes the appearance of fine lines.

Restore moisture to your skin and show a more youthful face to the
world.
