aesthetically obnoxious but really useful information

unwrinkleI know you are as interested as I am in looking as beautiful as we do FOREVER, so I thought I’d share this with you.

I am running out of skin cream (I last purchased a set of the Juice Beauty Green Apple face and eye creams from Hautelook) and I’ve been researching what to buy next. I think I am over Creme de la Mer after reading so many reviews stating it was mostly petroleum jelly, and I have not really been satisfied enough with the Juice Beauty to stick with it. I’ve read a few magazine articles that always seem to tout the newest ingredient, but don’t have a comprehensive list of the overall best. I finally found this blog, Ageless Beauty, that appears to be objective (so many websites try to pretend to be independent, but they’re really just trying to sell you their sponsors’ products, the bastards!), is thorough, explains how to decode the claims of the hot new anti-aging ingredients, and provides detailed lists for all skin care issues. Be warned: this website is hideous. Ads appear in the middle of articles, sidebars flash annoyingly, and the soft pastel color palette and rose banner just smacks of old lady. However, there is a wealth of information, much of it verifying bits and pieces I have learned from what I would consider reputable sources. Based on what I read here, I’ve decided to try the Peter Thomas Roth line. It’s expensive, but most skin cream is, and I find a little usually goes a long ways – if I only have to shell out $120 for this stuff every six months, I feel like it is worth it. I will let you know how it goes!
