An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Weather, smoking, genetics and lifestyle all contribute to wrinkles, sunspots and hyperpigmentation. Since every woman deserves to look and feel her best, I've outlined my favourite products and tips to keep skin smooth, even and forever glowing!
Olay Age-Defying Anti-Wrinkle Replenishing Night Cream
This luxurious feeling cream contains Pro-Retinol, Beta-Hyrdroxy, Vitamin B3, and Vitamin E. It is perfect for all skin types and won’t clog pores. It smooths fine lines and wrinkles as well as helps with puffy eyes. Great on the wallet too!
Apply after cleansing and before bedtime.

Dysport
The latest in non-surgical wrinkle reduction – Dysport has recently been approved in Canada, however has been around for over 23 years internationally. It is considered the newer, better Botox with Botulinum Toxin Type A as the magic ingredient.
The procedure takes a mere 10 minutes to do with no down time. Results are visible within 24 hours to 3 days and last for 3-6 months. The wrinkle/line reduction leaves a soft, more natural looking skin tone. Pricing is calculated by units purchased.

After applying moisturizer for the day, applying a primer with SPF will do wonders. It protects skin from further damage as well as locks moisture in before makeup application.
I love the Radiance Foundation Primer by Laura Mercier. It contains SPF of 20 and a universal pearl tint to minimize lines and wrinkles creating an even palette before foundation application which stays on all day.
The product also helps protect the skin from environmental elements.
