♥ best face forward.

one of my new year's resolutions for 2010 is to take better care of my skin.

seeing as i just turned 26, i figure it is about time that i start building

a firm foundation for my face's wrinkle-free future.

about a month ago, i was fortunate enough to receive a few samples from

the luxurious organic skincare line, luzern laboratories,

and i must say that while it may be the dead of winter outside,

my skin feels as dewy and luminous as a spring morning.

formulated purely from quality ingredients which are cultivated in the

high altitude conditions of the swiss alps, luzern products are loaded

with antioxidents, vitamins, and polyphenols, which are crucial for

skin rejuvenation, anti-aging, and overall skin health.

found in most high-end spas and dermatology offices {search here}

luzern laboratories also take prides in the fact that it is animal & eco-friendly,

and does not contain any of the harsh chemicals, formeldahydes,

fragrances or preservatives that much of the competition consist of.

a major ingredient that luzern has in it's arsenal is oxygen.

and while one may take for granted the fact that oxygen is everywhere,

it is important to note that even at age 25, the facial skin can have

30 to 40% less oxygen than a child or teenager.

my favorite product by far is the force de vie pure oxygen créme,

a daily moisturizer which is basically like a dessert for the face.

it has a gorgeous, clean smell, a delicious texture, and honestly

keeps my winter-beaten face hydrated all day long.

for good measure, i have also been adding a drop of the

serum v12 absolut to the moisturizer every morning,

which makes me feel sort of like a mad scientist who has discovered

a spring from the fountain of youth.

or maybe i have?
