Boots No 7 Protect and Perfect Scientifically Proven Anti-ageing Cream

The beauty world is buzzing and everyone is talking about Boots No 7 Protect and Perfect anti-ageing facial cream that independent scientists have proven actually works. In fact, it’s been hailed as a wonder cream and in British pharmacies they’re fighting just to get their hands on this anti-ageing product that leaves the more expensive celebrity endorsed brands costing hundreds of dollars for 30ml way behind!

Boots No 7 Protect and Perfect - The First Scientifically Proven Anti Ageing Cream!

Boots No 7 Protect and Perfect, previously on sale as Refine and Rewind, has created worldwide interest after being the first anti-ageing face cream to be scientifically proven to reduce wrinkles.

The University of Manchester conducted independent research on No7 Protect & Perfect Intense Beauty Serum over a 12 month period, the most rigorous clinical trial carried out on a cosmetic anti-aging product. The research findings were recently published in the British Journal of Dermatology, stating that after using the No7 Protect & Perfect Intense Beauty Serum for a year, 70 per cent of women and men had "significant" improvements to their wrinkles with faces ending up with fewer lines and shallower wrinkles. In fact, the longer No7 Protect & Perfect Intense Beauty Serum is used, the more effective it is.

Boots states that "the product has been independently proven to restore the skin’s structure, visibly improving deep lines and wrinkles by up to 50% with regular use. The first product proven to restore the skin's structure with prolonged use. So effective that other people can see a significant visible improvement in your deep lines and wrinkles......After 4 weeks, the appearance of lines and wrinkles is reduced by up to 50%.......After 6 months of use, the skin is shown to rebuild and over time elasticity is improved and deep wrinkles are visibly reduced."

Boots No 7 Protect and Perfect Anti Ageing Cream Works Across All Age Groups!

And the good news is that the researchers found that the cream worked equally well across all the age groups tested, which ranged from people in their forties to those in their eighties!

Boots No 7 Protect and Perfect Beauty Serum – Easy to Apply!

And it's very easy to apply! After cleansing and toning morning and night, you smooth No7 Protect and Perfect Intense Serum into your face and neck with your fingertips. Boots then suggest that once you have applied your No7 Protect and Perfect Intense Serum, follow with your No7 Protect and Perfect Eye Cream and No7 Protect and Perfect Day or Night Cream.

Boots No 7 Protect and Perfect Beauty Serum – Really Does Work!

Boots literature states that there is nothing better at preventing visible signs of ageing without prescription!!! And according to many, it really does work!! One over 50 user has claimed that she bought the serum a month ago and that her lines have all but disappeared on both her face around her eyes and her neck!

Boots No 7 Protect and Perfect Beauty Serum – Availability and Pricing!

The UK introduced No7 Protect & Perfect Intense Beauty Serum to consumers on April 30, 2009 and it has literally been walking off the shelf ever since with many outlets selling out fast. Boots in the USA will soon announce when No7 Protect & Perfect Intense Beauty Serum will be available.

To give you some idea on pricing, I found the Hypo-allergenic and Dermalogically tested No7 Protect & Perfect Beauty Serum 30ml online priced at £18.50 and the No7 Protect and Perfect Intense Beauty Serum 30ml priced at £19.75.

Head on over to your nearest Boots store and straight to the No 7 counter or visit Boots online.

The Perfect Mother’s Day Gift!

This Sunday, May 10, is Mother's Day so I’ve been thinking about what would really make a great Mother’s Day gift. What should it be this year, apparel or lingerie, jewelry or perfume, perhaps a travel accessory, or the usual flowers and chocolate? Well my pick for Mother's Day this year, and mom will definitely like this one, is an invigorating facial at Argyle Salon & Spa.

Mother’s Day Gift Idea, an Invigorating Facial

Argyle is an amazing spa located downstairs at the beautiful Sunset Towers hotel, on the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood. They recently partnered up with H-Secrets.com to offer a invigorating facial utilizing the exclusive technology behind H-Secrets' Hollywood Secrets Five-Minute Eye Transformation, in a relaxing and rejuvenating spa treatment. This has been a best-kept secret of Hollywood's top celebrity makeup artists and cosmetic surgeons and I was invited to personally try out Argyle’s HollywoodSecrets facial which I did back in March, 2009. I have to tell you that it was nothing short of amazing and I had to tweet about it.

Argyle’s HollywoodSecrets Facial is the premiere red carpet facial designed to visibly refresh, tone, hydrate, and lift skin to new skin-perfecting heights.  Both relaxing and rejuvenating, this facial will impart a luminous glow, while allowing skin to appear lifted and toned. Utilizing exclusive, concentrated, and powerful natural and active ingredients, the HollywoodSecrets facial is designed to leave skin red carpet ready in under an hour. It provides immediate results and lasts longer than a trip down the red carpet and well into the after-party. The H-Secrets.com product used is like a laser, Botox, scalpel and 8 hours rest in a Q-tip style applicator.

Where - Argyle Salon & Spa, 8358 Sunset Blvd, West Hollywood, Ca. 90069. Phone: 310.623.9000

Treatment - "Hollywood Secrets Facial" which was absolutely incredible. Mom will have to plan a special night out after this amazing treatment. My skin felt amazing and glowed like never before.

Value - at $140 this facial is great value and will make mom feel really special.

Thoughts – Mom will thoroughly enjoy this relaxing facial treatment; the clarisonic cleanse, steam, seaweed mask and Osea products will all feel amazing. Jaclyn, the Esthetician I had was the best I've ever had, she really was wonderful; extremely informative and friendly, not the usual hard sales woman when your facial is over and time to earn commissions from after service product sales. In fact the name Hollywood Secrets Facial instantly evokes feelings of superficial plastic fantasticness whereas Argyle felt very private and relaxing which is a nice change from all the Hollywood hoo ha.

Will mom enjoy it? - Absolutely and without doubt! It’s a combination of a great facial treatment, lovely venue and friendly staff.

Service – Fantastic!

OK, now let me tell you a little more about the product underlying Argyle’s HollywoodSecrets facial.

What the Experts Say!

Here’s what the experts say about HollywoodSecrets Five-Minute Eye Transformation:

• Celebrity makeup artist Natalie Miller says that “within 5 minutes your skin looks more beautiful, your wrinkles disappear and you can apply makeup on it right away.”
• Dermatologist Dr. Brian Keller, “(Qusomes™) deliver ingredients into the lower layers where we get better biological effect, it improves the health of the skin from elasticity to barrier function to the health of the cells.”
• Cosmetic Surgeon Dr. Jerry Vener of Los Angeles says, “This product allows me to continue the care of patients skin after they’ve had surgery - It allows promotion of healing.”

The product's active ingredient is Argireline – An Anti-Aging Peptide.

It reduces the depth of wrinkles on the face caused by the contraction of muscles of facial expression, especially in the forehead and around the eyes. Additionally, it prevents skin aging induced by repeated facial movements caused by excessive catecholamine release.

How it Works

The patented QuSome technology contained in every HollywoodSecrets applicator is the ultimate delivery system that allows deep penetration of the essential ingredients and nutrients to the active, lower layers of the skin. QuSomes allow active ingredients to release and penetrate almost twice as fast as traditional liposome delivery. Additionally, products that utilize QuSome technology allow for greater concentration, residence time and protection of the active ingredient, ultimately providing longer activity.

The Results – Instant Face Lift!

Simply amazing!

• An immediate tightening effect and diminishing of wrinkles around the eye area.
• An overall regenerative and restorative effect on the skin’s surface.
• Reduces the severity of wrinkles around the eyes, up to 17% after 15 days of treatment and up to 27% after 30 days of treatment.
• Dramatically reduces puffiness and results last over 8 hours.

Because it literally transforms the area around your eyes in just five minutes, it’s used in the limo just before hitting the red carpet. Professional make up artists use it to get models and stars looking their best for photo shoots and interviews. It’s kept at the cosmetic surgeon’s office to take the edge off, and passed around from purse to purse among Hollywood insiders. The HollywoodSecrets Five-Minute Eye Transformation is the ultimate beauty insider and best-kept secret in Hollywood.

How to Use It

Oh it’s easy! Just snap the tip of the cotton swab applicator and allow the product to saturate the tip. Once the tip is saturated, you dab the surrounding eye area and allow for the product to seep in. You can use the product daily for long lasting results or apply for immediate results as needed. HollywoodSecrets can be used as a primer before makeup or over makeup for instant touch-ups.

How much does it Cost?

The HollywoodSecrets Five-Minute Eye Transformation costs $89.95, a lot cheaper and much less painful than injections or laser procedures. The single serve treatments come in a Q-Tip style applicator that is easily thrown into the smallest of clutches for quick touch-ups.

Where to Find It

You can purchase this amazing product at H-Secrets.com. Visit them and check out the HollywoodSecrets skincare line.

Mother’s Day Gift Recommendation

If you want to indulge mom this Mother’s Day with something really special then I highly recommend the Argyle Hollywood Secrets facial to you. I can guarantee that mom will definitely feel special and will probably insist that you should also experience it yourself. Both you and mom will have an amazingly enjoyable and super relaxing experience. I myself can't wait to go back. Thank you Argyle for an amazing facial.

If attending Argyle Spa is not possible for you or mom then visit H-Secrets.com and check out the Hollywood Secrets Five-Minute Eye Transformation.
