People, there's been an exciting breakthrough at That's Not My Age Mansions. I've upgraded my beauty routine. Not difficult, considering that most nights I collapse exhausted into bed and reach for a carefully positioned packet of cheap cleansing wipes. The boudoir isn't quite up to Tracey Emin's standards, but you get the picture. But that's all changed. I've ditched the studenty behaviour and discovered a new paradigm in skincare technology: Cold Plasma by Perricone MD. It's a cosmeceutical. Here's Doctor Nicholas Perricone, you probably know him already, he's an expert on ageing and has written several books:
Not bad for 63, eh? Now, I'm no expert, so I'm not going to bore on about the science behind Cold Plasma (there's a lot of it), suffice to say that like blood plasma, this cream delivers nutrients to the skin, as and when needed. Addressing visible signs of ageing such as: wrinkles (tick), loss of firmness (tick), uneven skin tone (tick). I've been using the treatment for the last couple of months and - if I say so myself - my skin looks and feels amazing. Over the last year or so, a combination of stress and hormones have really had an impact on the old face, but having embraced the New Paradigm, my skin is all glowy and radiant again. I've just been applying Cold Plasma in the morning under moisturizer - though the doctor suggests using twice a day. I never read the instructions properly, so I've only just noticed that you can use this stuff on thighs, bums and wobbly arms too. Though it's quite pricey so I wouldn't slap it on all-over if I were you.
Do you have any favourite anti-ageing products?
Just so you know, Perricone MD very kindly sent me this product to review.

Wow, I'm definitely making a trip to Sephora today!
Perricone's demeanor is not my cup of tea. There is just something about him, reminds me of a medicine man.
That said, I'm interested to try the Eucerin hyaluron filler which has been enthusiastically touted by Tish Jett in her A Femme d'Un Certain Age blog.
Mmm I think I'm in need of stronger stuff too - is it hideously 'spensive? xx
Your post titled "Old Ladies Rebellion" is brilliant. The first picture with your younger and advanced models lined up together is great. All your models look smashing good. And they actually smile. Regular models can hardly do that.
I've just burst out laughing reading your recommendation on swapping or even stealing items. Thanks for the advice. I'd better watch out for my items when my niece is around.
Does it smell of fish? I tried one of his products - I think it was being marketed as a tinted moisuriser - and it had the most peculiar smell. Apparently it's loaded with fish oil. It had an odd sticky texture and the colour was wrong for me, but it did give my skin a lovely dewy finish, so maybe there's something to be said for it.
I reckon I'll give it a try. Meantime I rely on three current favs: REN's Bio Retinol Anti-Ageing Concentrate, Sarah Chapman's Skinesis Concentrate, and a new addition: Antipodes' Joyous which is a protein-rich serum that really does seem to restore collagen and elastin.
Right now I am happy with the latest ROC serums. But, I guess that can change at any moment...so it is good to know about other products on the market.
California Girl - I thought he looked a bit like Alec Baldwin in 30 Rock, but now you mention it....
MDS - it's over 100 quid. So yeah, quite expensive.
puncturedbicycle - no fishy smell, and I'm a vegetarian so quite sensitive to these things!
Lillyanne - thanks for the recommendations. I do really like REN products so will give the concentrate a go.
I don´t know if we have that product over here. Are you sure that it does not smell fishy?
I´m seeking for the BEST product, tried the Eucerin-night, also for day time, and I can´t say is it/ is it not good for me.
Maybe I´ll stick to HR Prodigy products..
Wher can you buy it??

I've never tried his product line, mostly because of the price commitment if I didn't like it. I use Paula's Choice Resist anti-aging line, and have had awesome results with that.
Love SKII myself!
Yes! I have a new regime too. I love it. http://www.useloveshare.com/. Apriori Beauty.
I don't use too expensive products and, here in France, I love the Eluage line by Avene. The eye contour care is great.
