You’ve conscientiously laundered and ironed your favorite white shirt for years. But no matter how much TLC you gave it, the shirt now has a yellow cast from perspiration and body oils that built up in the fabric fibers over time.  Now think about your 42-year-old adult teeth. You’ve brushed them faithfully and visited the dentist regularly. So why are THEY yellow? 

Fact is, most of us have naturally yellow teeth from a substance called dentin that’s sandwiched between a tooth’s enamel outside and pulp inside. A mineral/ organic compound/water mixture, dentin is usually pale yellow and shows through the translucent enamel layer on top of it. If good ole genetics gave you especially thin or see-through enamel, your teeth will look even yellower.

The yellow story doesn’t stop there. Enamel can also thin even more over all those decades, and discolor from repeated exposure to pigments in coffee, tea, red wine, balsamic vinegar, and dark-colored fruits and sodas. And, even if you haven’t smoked in years, the plethora of puffs you took back in the day also made their marks on your enamel! 

When whitening strips were all the rage about 20 years ago, my teeth and gums  rebelled and became sensitized. Using strips also became a vicious cycle. They’d whiten my teeth, but increase their sensitivity, so I’d stop using them. No surprise, my teeth would become yellow again! 

Happily, sophisticated 21st century beauty technologies bring us Smileactives, a super duper Pro Whitening Gel that lets us easily and safely take our teeth back to whiter, brighter days – at home. I use it every day with my regular toothpaste (works with fluoride and non-fluoride brands), so it doesn’t add a bit of time to my brushing routine. It just produces exceptional results!

Use Pro Whitening Gel with Smileactives Vibrite® BLUE, a nifty new rechargeable toothbrush combining sonic vibration technology with blue LED light. More on this terrific tool in a moment. 

Reaches All The Grooves and Crannies – With NO Sensitivity  

The active ingredient in Smileactives Pro Whitening Gel is the same substance dentists use to whiten teeth. And, its proprietary Polyclean® technology creates an extremely fine foam that whitens the whole tooth – back, front and top – getting into all grooves and crannies without a scintilla of sensitivity.*

Smileactives also lifts and removes stains on dental work including crowns, veneers, and dentures.  

To support its claims, Smileactives conducted a clinical study of 52 users, whose teeth became 5 shades whiter on average in just 7 days. After 14 days, teeth became up to 8 shades whiter. Pretty impressive results!**

Besides its quality formula and advanced technology, Smileactives was developed by the same biochemist who invented the one-hour, light-activated tooth-whitening process. So you can be sure it’s the real deal when it comes to teeth whitening. 

Using Pro Whitening Gel with the new Vibrite BLUE toothbrush will enhance  cleaning and whitening even more. Operating at 40,000 vibrations per minute, it features a 30-second pacer and timer and five oral care modes: Clean for everyday brushing; Whiten with rapid pulsing to help reduce surface stains; Polish with stronger and longer pulses; Gum Care with gentle pulsation to help stimulate gums, and Sensitive with slower vibration. 

Smileactives is so confident you’ll love its Pro Whitening Gel, it invites you to use it for 60 days, and if you’re not beaming from ear to ear, return the tube – EVEN EMPTY – for a full refund, less s&h

There’s more. Buy one tube of Smileactives and get the second tube as a thank you gift with your introductory order, a $29.95 value!

Or, if you’re in need of the best sonic toothbrush ever – check out the great deal on the Pro Gel & LED Toothbrush combo for under $40!

Whiter, brighter teeth in just seven days – with routine brushing 

* In a company-sponsored Clinical Study, most people experienced little to no sensitivity. Individual experiences will vary.
**Average improvement of 3 shades whiter in 7 days
**Average improvement of 4 shades whiter in 14 days

It’s a treat to pamper my hands and feet with manis and pedis throughout the year, but facials take pampering to a whole new level. What a luxury for my skin to be nourished with rejuvenating creams and serums, and soothingly massaged and heated so it gets the maximum benefit from them. 

Alas, the price of facials stops me from indulging in these delightful spa staples. Besides, a single facial here and there may feel great and reinvigorate my skin for a day or two, but won’t do a thing for it in the long term.

Enter the Skin Revitalizing Tool from Body Firm^®, a nifty rechargeable device that transforms me into an esthetician at home. Delivering heat, vibration and light therapy, it helps my skin absorb the exceptional nutrients in Crepe Erase treatment creams that make it radiant, vibrant and healthy looking. 

I’m not talking only about the skin on my FACE, but up and down my BODY – my legs, arms, décolleté, shoulders and neck. That’s why I’ve nicknamed it The FAB Tool!

Get the exceptional Skin Revitalizing Tool – a $129 value – as a FREE THANK YOU GIFT when you order the Crepe Erase Body & Face Kit (and that’s 20% off!)

Let There Be Light + Heat + Vibration

After applying Crepe Erase cream, and massaging it into my skin with my fingertips, I activate the Skin Revitalizing Tool with the touch of a button. Comfortably fitting in the palm of my hand, it glides over my body while stimulating my skin and opening pores with its heavenly heat and soothing vibration. 

The open pores drink in the Crepe Erase proprietary blend of ingredients – called TruFirm^® Complex – which includes a trio of plant extracts to help fortify the skin’s netting. Droopy skin appears visibly tighter and firmer, and more youthful-looking. 

Crépe Erase^® also contains 12 Super Hydrators, including coconut oil, cocoa butter, olive oil, squalane, grapeseed oil, Vitamin E and a trio of glycerides. This powerful combination delivers up to 72 hours of intense hydration to dry, crepey skin. 

Red, blue and green light therapies complete the range of valuable beauty treatments performed by The FAB Skin Revitalizing Tool. Each wavelength enters the skin at a different depth, stimulating collagen protein production and boosting the skin’s natural healing ability. Moving between the three light modes is a cinch. 

Red light works on the outer layer of skin to help firm, smooth and fill it out. This can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as help improve circulation and reduce inflammation. 

Blue light targets the oil-producing sebaceous glands, which help prevent our skin from drying out. This wavelength light helps to regulate overactive glands, which can cause oily skin and acne breakouts. 

Green light targets a lower level of the dermis and can help reduce inflammation and treat hyperpigmentation so skin tone becomes brighter and more even. It can also help decrease the appearance of under-eye circles, sunspots, and dilated skin capillaries.

Professional light therapy, like facials, is pricey. But not when you can call on the Skin Revitalizing Tool to do it all. Anytime you wish!

Three Indisputable Rules To Sound Skincare 

Using quality skin care products such as Crepe Erase, and applying them consistently, are two of the most important ways to help keep your skin looking even, glowing and refreshed.

I’ve been a Crepe Erase super fan for about seven years, and get compliments on my skin all the time!

Introducing the Skin Revitalizing Tool into my routine simply makes the great things I’m doing remarkable! 

Start using the tool with this terrific Crepe Erase trio, before and after you shower, to see and feel an immediate difference, from your neck to your tippy toes. Apply the enriching formulas every time you shower, and the transformation will truly be uplifting, to you and your skin! 

Step 1 Crepe Erase Body Refining Exfoliant*

After getting wet – not drenched – in the shower, I apply the silky formula with gentle exfoliators all over my body. Paying special attention to crepey and dry areas, I massage the product into my skin in soft, circular motions to help dissolve dead and rough surface skin cells. Following a warm water rinse, I pat my body dry. BTW, avoid long, hot showers that further dry your skin. This process takes my skin from dull to radiant and smooth and is designed to prepare my body for step 2. 

*You won’t need to use the tool during this step. 

Step 2 Crepe Erase Body Repair Treatment

When my body is dry, I massage this cream into the crepey skin around my neck, chest, arms and legs, using upward, circular motions, then use The Skin Revitalizing Tool. The lightly whipped formula absorbs quickly and isn’t one bit greasy. Two simple steps to help restore firmer, healthier-looking skin all over my body. P.S. If you shower early in the day, you can re-apply Body Repair Treatment again before going to bed.

Step 3 Crépe Erase Neck Repair Treatment

I sense luxury the moment my fingers touch this highly concentrated and exclusive blend of plant extracts and dual patented peptides. The formula includes the potent ingredients, encapsulated retinol and sodium hyaluronate, to reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin color, hydration and elasticity, and soften rough patches. The FAB Skin Revitalizing Tool will be gentle, but effective, on your delicate neck skin. 

Customers were so gratified to see Crepe Erase transforming the skin on their bodies, the brand’s beauty chemists knew it was time to give women’s faces a gift – and lift – too.  Blended with the same powerful TruFirm Complex ingredients, in the same concentration, the Crepe Erase facial collection is simply stupendous. 

I dutifully massage the luxurious and rejuvenating Facial Refining Exfoliant twice a day over my whole face, down to my neck. It gently removes rough, dead skin cells to give me softer, smoother, firmer, and brighter skin. Paraben free, too!

Facial Repair Treatment – a deluxe, ultra-hydrating formula with a blend of moisturizing oils – plumps, smoothes, firms, and diminishes the look of fine lines and wrinkles.

Before going to bed, I apply a thin layer of deeply hydrating Plump & Firm Facial Treatment to visibly plumps and smooths my skin as I sleep. Skin penetration levels rise at night, so skin care products work more efficiently. The skin also produces less sebum at night, and moisturizing helps keep it hydrated. 

Use The Skin Revitalizing Tool with Crepe Erase treatments-day and night.

I’ve been flinging off the blankets and shutting down the heat more frequently these last couple of weeks, as the temperatures climb their way into spring. It’s nice crawling into a cozy warm bed when it’s freezing outside, but warmer weather always opens our minds to new possibilities. 

It also opens up our pores.

So, before the balmy breezes of the season give way to the sultry days of summer, make sure to change more than your bedding. It’s also time to adjust your skin routine. If you don’t, your body’s largest organ could get mighty mad for putting it in harm’s way – aka heat and humidity. Bet you didn’t know that!

Whoa, you say. Doesn’t lots of humidity in the summer air help hydrate the skin, which is exactly what it needs after the winter air – inside and out – robs it of essential moisture? 

Yep, humidity is hydrating, but moisture in the air expands our pores at the same time. Larger pores are more likely to clog up with dirt, oil and other matter that cause breakouts and eczema.  Even a brisk walk can be enough to congest pores and create a greasy feeling. Not a good look!. 

What’s more, cell turnover tapers off over the years, and the dry, dead cells sitting on the skin’s surface at winter’s end give your face a rough, dull appearance.

Spring is the time of year to turn your attention to your skin’s salvation. Think lightweight and gentle formulas that will cleanse pores, swipe away dead cells, and moisturize without choking or weighing down the skin.

My go-to brand is Crépe Erase^®. I’m often invited to review skin care products for my popular website. I’ve counted on Crepe Erase for years to keep my skin even, glowing and refreshed.

TruFirm^® Complex, a proprietary blend in Crepe Erase Advanced, includes a trio of plant extracts to help fortify our skin’s netting. Droopy skin appears tighter and firmer, and more youthful looking. Crépe Erase^® Advanced also contains 9 Super Hydrators, including coconut oil, cocoa butter, olive oil, squalane, grapeseed oil, Vitamin E and a trio of glycerides. This powerful combination delivers up to 72 hours of intense hydration to dry, crepey skin. 

The light and airy moisture-rich formula is fast absorbing and works to visibly soothe and renew the skin. Never a greasy residue!

The five-piece Deluxe Kit also treats your skin above the chin!

Start using this terrific trio before and after you shower, and you’ll see and feel an immediate difference, from your neck to your tippy toes. Apply the enriching formulas every time you shower, and the transformation will truly be uplifting, to you and your skin! 

Step 1 Body Smoothing Pre-Treatment with TruFirm

After getting wet – not drenched – in the shower, I apply the silky formula with gentle exfoliators all over my body. Paying special attention to crepey and dry areas, I massage the product into my skin in soft, circular motions to help dissolve dead and rough surface skin cells. Following a warm water rinse, I pat my body dry. BTW, avoid long, hot showers that further dry your skin. This process takes my skin from dull to radiant and smooth and is designed to prepare my body for step 2.

Step 2 Advanced Body Repair Treatment with TruFirm

When my body is dry, I massage this cream for one minute into the crepey skin around my neck, chest, arms and legs, using upward, circular motions. The lightly whipped formula absorbs quickly and isn’t one bit greasy. Two simple steps to help restore firmer, healthier-looking skin all over my body. P.S. If you shower early in the day, you can re-apply Advanced Body Repair Treatment again before going to bed. 

Step 3 Crépe Erase Ultra-Smoothing Neck Repair with TruFirm 

I sense luxury the moment my fingers touch this highly concentrated and exclusive blend of plant extracts and dual patented peptides. The formula includes the potent ingredients, encapsulated retinol and sodium hyaluronate, to reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin color, hydration and elasticity, and soften rough patches. 

Customers were so gratified to see Crepe Erase transforming the skin on their bodies, the brand’s beauty chemists knew it was time to give women’s faces a gift – and lift – too. Blended with the same powerful TruFirm Complex ingredients, in the same concentration, the Crepe Erase facial collection is simply stupendous. 

I dutifully massage the luxurious and rejuvenating Advanced Refining Facial Scrub twice a day over my whole face, down to my neck. It gently removes rough, dead skin cells to give me softer, smoother, firmer, and brighter skin. Paraben free, too!

Advanced Restorative Facial Treatment – a deluxe, ultra-hydrating formula with a blend of moisturizing oils – plumps, smoothes, firms, and diminishes the look of fine lines and wrinkles.

Before going to bed, I apply a thin layer of deeply hydrating Overnight Facial Plumping Treatment, which visibly plumps and smooths as I sleep. Skin penetration levels rise at night, so skin care products work more efficiently. The skin also produces less sebum at night, and moisturizing helps keep it hydrated.

Imitation might be the sincerest form of flattery, but beware of beauty products formulated with inferior ingredients, and hyped to be as effective as the originals they’re impersonating.

Knockoffs rarely deliver on their promises. Some might actually have outstanding ingredients for our skin, but in amounts too small to make even a modest difference. Think about mixing one measly tablespoon of premium chocolate ice cream into a 10-ounce glass of whole milk, and calling it a milkshake. Your kids would boo you out of the kitchen!

Never before has such a dizzying selection of lotions, creams, serums and gels been formulated to hydrate, moisturize, smooth, lift, firm, erase, brighten, and tighten our skin. 

Girls barely out of their teens want to stave off fine lines. We Fab Over Fifty ladies long to replenish the proteins that give our skin firmness and elasticity, and were depleted by menopause. That’s why we need products with heavier concentrations of quality ingredients than those we can buy in the drug store.

And, that’s why I’ve been a Crepe Erase^® fan for seven years. 

Crepe Erase has developed a stellar reputation over the last decade. Its formulas are created with high concentrations of the best quality active skincare ingredients, and it directs its research and development on a collection that treats only skin. Crepey, droopy, dull and dehydrated skin all over the body, but only skin. 

More on Crepe Erase in a bit!

When I stumbled across a new website promoting a cream that would “instantly” lift the thinning, “crepey skin” on my neck, I instantly knew it was a copycat.  

The brand also peddles products that it declares will treat all our menopausal issues, head to toe. It has formulas for aging skin, hair, nails and joints; hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, light leaks and poor sleep. Even low libido!

Sure!

Watch out for brands like this that hype sure-fire treatments for improving a spectrum of issues, intimacy to irritability. And, at prices too good to be true. 

As a long time loyal Crepe Erase customer, I can attest that its Advanced 5-Piece Body + Face System from Body Firm^® is a powerhouse skin care collection.

Crepe Erase Advanced Body and Face 5-piece Kit + A DUO OF FREE GIFTS* + FREE Shipping 

The “active ingredients” in skin care formulas help them to improve moisture absorption and retention; reinforce the skin’s netting, and combat inflammation caused by factors including pollution, stress, poor diet and lack of sleep.

Products with high concentrations of active ingredients are most effective. They also tend to be higher priced  than drugstore brands, which have  lower quantities of active ingredients – but are backed by multi-million dollar ad campaigns to get our attention. 

The Fab Four Must-Have Skincare Ingredients

Olive Oil, Glycerin, Hyaluronic Acid, and Retinoids are essential active ingredients for skin health, agree leading dermatologists and beauty chemists. 

Crepe Erase Advanced 5-Piece Body + Face System from Body Firm has an abundance of all four key skin savers, so they really work hard. The collection treats the skin above my chin, too!

The hero ingredient powering Crepe Erase Advanced is TruFirm^® Complex, an exclusive blend that includes three plant extracts to help reinforce our skin’s netting. This makes skin appear tighter and firmer. Crepe Erase Advanced also contains nine Super Hydrators, including coconut oil, cocoa butter, olive oil, squalane, grapeseed oil, Vitamin E and a trio of glycerides to deliver up to 72 hours of intense hydration to dry, crepey skin. Quick absorbing without leaving a greasy residue, the light and airy moisture-rich formula works to visibly smooth and renew the skin.

The five-piece Deluxe Kit also treats your skin above the chin!

After a warm (never hot) shower, I slowly massage Advanced Body Repair Treatment with TruFirm^® into the skin on my neck, chest, arms and legs. The rich formula absorbs quickly, and doesn’t create a greasy feeling.

Now that I’ve used Advanced Body Repair Treatment for a few years, the skin on my legs is so smooth, I even get compliments from pedicurists. Just like its name says, this softly whipped cream helps restore firmer, healthier-looking skin all over my body. 

The quartet of products that make up the system include the luxurious and rejuvenating Advanced Refining Facial Scrub and the silky Body Smoothing Pre-Treatment, both with TruFirm^®. These are exceptional exfoliators that are easy to apply in the shower. 

On to my face! Advanced Restorative Facial Treatment is a deluxe, ultra-hydrating formula with TruFirm^® and a blend of moisturizing oils. 

And, before bed, I apply a thin layer of deeply hydrating Overnight Facial Plumping Treatment, which visibly plumps and smooths as I sleep. Skin penetration levels rise at night, so skin care products work more efficiently. The skin also produces less sebum at night, and moisturizing helps keep it hydrated.

Artificial intelligence – popularly known as AI – may someday accomplish what human scientists haven’t: Stop the aging process, at least cosmetically, if not biologically.  Imagine never looking a day over age 35, when you just celebrated your 53rd birthday!

Plastic surgery might “turn back the clock” today, but even a spectacular surgeon can’t make a 50-something naturally look decades younger. 

And, what’s the deal with the deluge of serums, lotions, creams, and oils that are labeled “anti aging”?  Does that mean the telltale signs of aging  go poof once these skin care products hit your epidermis? Nope, it’s not quite that simple.  

“Anti-aging” is actually a phrase invented by some clever marketer who thought women would automatically connect these products with youthful attributes. And while quality skin care products are blended with scientifically formulated ingredients that can feed aging skin the essential nutrients it needs, many factors influence how well they’ll work. These include your age, the condition of your skin, the concentration of ingredients in the products, and whether they target your distinct concerns. 

As a long time loyal customer, I can attest that Crepe Erase^® Advanced 5-Piece Body + Face System from Body Firm^® is a powerhouse skin care collection.  

Crepe Erase is formulated for every age woman to use all over her body. To help our skin look its best, whether we’re 47 or 74!

Crepe Erase Advanced Body and Face 5 piece Kit + A TRIO OF FREE GIFTS* + FREE SHIPPING!

It’s a rare woman who can go through her 40s and 50s without experiencing changes in her skin, somewhere on her face and body. Many women would link their issues to excessive time in the sun, lack of sleep, or toxins in the air. Others would blame genetics – puffy under-eye skin is inherited, for one. 

But, all women experience perimenopause and menopause. And, with it, come dramatically decreasing levels of the hormone estrogen, and increasing signs of age. Our skin gets thinner, drier, less firm and elastic, causing wrinkles, sagging and crepiness. 

Estrogen, in fact, supports the production of collagen and elastin, major proteins that give our skin thickness and elasticity, and help keep it moisturized. Less estrogen inside means aging skin outside!!⁽¹⁾

My cousin Sherry complains about dark circles under her eyes, and  my pal Nancy hides her puffiness with glasses. I grumble about the saggy skin on my neck, and bestie Mary Ann gripes about the loose skin on her underarms. The four of us uniformly kvetch about dryness – from our faces to our feet. 

The “active ingredients” in skin care formulas are what help them  biologically tackle our biggest concerns. One active ingredient helps the skin to absorb and retain moisture. Another aids in reinforcing the skin’s netting. A third assists in combating inflammation caused by factors including pollution, stress, poor diet and lack of sleep.

The higher the concentration of active ingredients in a product, the more effective they’ll be. These products also tend to be higher priced  than drugstore brands, which have  lower quantities of active ingredients – but are backed by multi-million dollar ad campaigns. 

The Fab Four Must-Have Skincare Ingredients

Olive Oil, Glycerin, Hyaluronic Acid, and Retinoids are essential active ingredients for skin health, agree leading dermatologists and beauty chemists. Before investing in a single lotion, cream or serum, find out if it includes them.

Crepe Erase Advanced 5-Piece Body + Face System from Body Firm, a line for dry, crepey and sagging skin from my favorite brand, has all four key skin savers. And, it has an abundance of each one, so they really work hard. The collection treats the skin above my chin, too!

The hero ingredient powering Crepe Erase Advanced is TruFirm^® Complex, an exclusive blend that includes three plant extracts to help reinforce our skin’s netting. This makes skin appear tighter and firmer. Crepe Erase Advanced also contains nine Super Hydrators, including coconut oil, cocoa butter, olive oil, squalane, grapeseed oil, Vitamin E and a trio of glycerides to deliver 72 hours of intense hydration to dry, crepey skin. Quick absorbing without leaving a greasy residue, the light and airy moisture-rich formula works to visibly smooth and renew the skin.

The five-piece Deluxe Kit also treats your skin above the chin!

After a warm (never hot) shower, I settle into my comfortable TV-watching chair with a jar of Advanced Body Repair Treatment with TruFirm^®. I love slowly massaging the rich formula into the skin on my neck, chest, arms and legs. It absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave me with a greasy feeling.

After using Advanced Body Repair Treatment for a few years, I have such smooth skin on my legs, I even get compliments from the women who do my pedicures. Just like its name says, this softly whipped cream helps restore firmer, healthier-looking skin all over my body. 

The quartet of products that make up the system include the luxurious and rejuvenating Advanced Refining Facial Scrub and the silky Body Smoothing Pre-Treatment, both with TruFirm^®. These are exceptional exfoliators that are easy to apply in the shower. 

On to my face! Advanced Restorative Facial Treatment is a deluxe, ultra-hydrating formula with TruFirm^® and a blend of moisturizing oils.

I bet you can guess what stresses us most about our necks as we age.

Yep, it’s sagging, according to a survey by FabOverFifty, the popular lifestyle website.

While many of us fret about newfound frown lines between our eyebrows or suddenly droopy cheeks, we seldom make our neck a beauty priority. But the skin on your neck requires as much TLC as the skin on your face to keep it healthy and supple, plastic surgeons agree.

My absolute go-to product is Crépe Erase Ultra-Smoothing Neck Repair, clinically shown to improve the look of fine lines and crepiness on the neck in only four weeks*! More on this super-duper formula in a moment. 

WHEN WE’RE STRETCHED TOO THIN 

Our faces move a great deal when we chew, laugh, and frown, but our necks certainly do their share of moving and stretching – maybe even more than our faces. Just think how frequently we stretch our necks every single day just to look at our mobile phones or computers. 

While naturally occurring proteins, collagen and elastin, literally support our skin so it stays tight and firm when we’re younger, they simply diminish as we age. And our skin starts to thin and sag. 

We can’t forget the dreaded turkey neck, which is loose skin and loose muscles. This can be hereditary, but is often due to aging, sun damage or weight fluctuations. When muscles weaken, and it becomes harder for the skin to shrink after weight loss, a banded appearance is created.⁽¹⁾ 

SAVE YOUR NECK

The sooner we feed our skin the proteins, vitamins and other nutrients it needs as we age, the better it will look for lots longer. This means the skin all over our bodies, not just on our faces. Think necks, knees, legs, underarms, and decolletage.

You’ll sense luxury the moment your fingers touch Crépe Erase Ultra-Smoothing Neck Repair. The highly concentrated and exclusive formula – powered by TruFirm+™ – is an exclusive blend  of plant extracts and  dual patented peptides. 

Order the 5-piece Crepe Erase Deluxe Kit and receive Ultra-Smoothing Neck Repair as a FREE thank you gift ($49 value!).

Ultra-Smoothing Neck Repair includes Encapsulated Retinol and Sodium Hyaluronate, a pair of potent ingredients for aging skin. 

Retinol reduces the look of fine lines and wrinkles by helping to support the skin’s own natural elastin production and speeding the turnover of new cells. It also stimulates the production of new blood vessels in the skin, which improves skin color; fades age spots, and softens rough patches of skin.

Sodium Hyaluronate helps skin stay supple and youthful looking. It can penetrate the top layer of the delicate neck skin and improve hydration from the underlying layers to decrease wrinkle depth and creases and improve elasticity aka “bounce back.”

FROM THE NECK UP – AND DOWN

Ultra-Smoothing Neck Repair will be your free gift when you order the extraordinary 5-piece Crépe Erase Introductory Deluxe Kit.  They’re my go-to products to keep my skin soft, smooth and supple all over- with a healthy glow. They’ll become your favorites, too!

In the shower,  I use silky Body Smoothing Pre-Treatment with TruFirm^® and gentle exfoliators to lift away dead, rough surface cells and make my skin look smoother and more radiant. The lovely, fresh scent is a bonus! 

Shower over, I massage Advanced Body Repair Treatment with TruFirm^® into the crepey skin around my neck, chest, arms and legs. Just like its name says, this lightly whipped formula restores firmer, healthier-looking skin all over my body. Absorbs quickly and isn’t one bit greasy.

Before going to bed, I apply a thin layer of deeply hydrating Overnight Facial Plumping Treatment, which visibly plumps and smooths as I sleep. Skin penetration levels rise at night, so skin care products work more efficiently. The skin also produces less sebum at night, and moisturizing helps keep it hydrated. 

A duo of other facial formulas – Advanced Refining Facial Scrub with TruFirm^® and Advanced Restorative Facial Treatment, gently removes rough, dead skin cells; visibly plumps, smoothes and firms, and diminishes the look of fine lines and wrinkles.

Crépe Erase is so confident that you’ll love its products, it invites you to use them for 60 days, and, if you’re not satisfied, you can return the tubes–EVEN EMPTY–for a full refund, less s&h! This offer even gives me more confidence that these are quality beauty products. Plus, the line is incredibly reasonable in the first place!

‘Save Your Neck’ – and a whole lot more

One question constantly stumped me on internet quizzes that are designed to help beauty brands recommend products for us: Is your skin dry, oily, or normal? It’s even more confusing when the word “dehydrated” is tossed into the equation. Aren’t dry and dehydrated skin the same thing?

Determined to finally get the facts, I learned they’re actually two distinct skin issues, although most of us incorrectly think they’re the same. And, with winter waiting in the wings to hit your skin with harsh winds outside, and dry air inside, knowing the difference will help keep it soft, supple and sensual. 

I’m talking about the skin all over your body, not just your face. Cracked – even bleeding – skin on the elbows, arms, knees, and legs isn’t just unattractive. It’s downright uncomfortable. 

Crepe Erase has been saving my skin for six years, focusing on the 95 percent of the skin most brands ignore. It  has the same high-quality ingredients we apply to our face, but specifically for our body. And that’s a very good thing. More on Crepe Erase, my skin savior, in a moment..

First, a little lesson on dry versus dehydrated skin

Dry skin is a skin type. It lacks oil, so it can’t hold the moisture it needs to stay plump and hydrated. Dry skin often feels flaky, bumpy, and itchy. Some of us are born with it, but cold or dry climates, certain medical treatments, super hot showers, and aging can cause it. 

Dehydrated skin is a skin condition. Its uppermost layer lacks water, which is necessary for plumpness and suppleness. Dehydrated skin often feels tight, dull and irritated, and has fine lines and wrinkles. 

During the winter, dry air created by cold temperatures and low humidity, draws moisture away from the skin, even from young skin. 

All skin needs oil moisture and water moisture to function well, and look and feel great.  Unfortunately, both decrease with each passing year  – which is  why our skin begins to look washed out and less youthful.

Crepe Erase^® has all the essential ingredients to replenish the oil and water moisture our skin needs, from our faces to our feet. 

The hero ingredient powering Crépe Erase Advanced is TruFirm^® Complex, an exclusive blend that includes three plant extracts to help reinforce our skin’s netting. This makes skin appear tighter and firmer, and helps it look like it did when we were younger. Crépe Erase Advanced also contains nine Super Hydrators, including coconut oil, cocoa butter, olive oil, squalane, grapeseed oil, Vitamin E and a trio of glycerides. It delivers up to 72 hours of intense hydration and skin barrier protection to dry, crepey skin. Quick absorbing without leaving a greasy residue, the light and airy moisture-rich formula works to visibly smooth and renew the skin.

When she’s sweating it over a proposal at work, or heated up at a cycling class in the gym, Julie’s convinced she’s making progress. “No pain, no gain,” she chuckles. But when Julie couldn’t keep her teeth white without enduring continual sensitivity from the whitening strips, she quit trying! 

That isn’t the kind of pain I want to experience,”Julie sighed. She also wasn’t wild about the extra time it took to use the strips. 

Unsurprisingly, Julie jumped at the chance to bid adieu to her harsh whitening process, and started whitening her teeth at home – simply and safely – with Smileactives^® Pro Whitening Gel. More on this super duper powerful treatment in a moment.

“Using strips became a vicious cycle. They’d whiten my teeth, but increase their sensitivity. So I’d stop using them, and my teeth would become yellow again,” Julie said, exasperated. 

for whiter, brighter teeth in just seven days*

*Average improvement of 3 shades whiter in 7 days. Results may vary.

Julie compares her experience to yo-yo dieting. “I lose weight when I’m on a diet, but the weight creeps back once I stop.” 

Yellowing teeth are as common as sneaky weight gain, especially as we age. Here’s why:

Dentin – a protective mineral/organic compound/water substance directly under each tooth’s enamel – is naturally slightly yellowish. 

Enamel is white, but it’s also somewhat translucent and can expose the dentin to create a yellow look! If your enamel is especially thin or translucent, due to good old genetics, your teeth will look even yellower.

Enamel can also thin over time, becoming stained from factors including smoking, and pigments in substances such as coffee, tea, red wine, balsamic vinegar, and dark-colored fruits and sodas.

Happily, beauty science has come a long way since strips hit the shelves. Thanks to advanced technologies, we can rejuvenate skin, beautifully color hair, and whiten teeth – safely and effectively – right at home. But finding the best brand among the countless formulas on the market can be challenging. Do you rely on reviews? A brand’s website? A friend’s recommendation? 

It’s smart to first check out the science behind a brand that promises to benefit your health or appearance. What are the active ingredients of a teeth whitener, for example, and exactly how does it work to eliminate discoloration? If you can’t find the answers, move on to another brand.

Smileactives Pro Whitening Gel checks all the boxes. Its active ingredient is the same substance dentists use to whiten teeth. And, its proprietary Polyclean^® technology creates an extremely fine foam that whitens the whole tooth – back, front and top – and gets into all grooves and crannies. 

Smileactives also lifts and removes stains on dental work including crowns, veneers, and dentures. 

Easily used with your regular fluoride or non-fluoride toothpaste – no strips or trays necessary – Smileactives can be applied every time you brush your teeth. It won’t add a second to your regular brushing routine. And, no worries for those of us with sensitive teeth or gums.

Make sure to try Smileactives Pro Whitening Gel with new Smileactives Tartar Control Fluoride Toothpaste. This cavity fighting pro is packed with cutting-edge, good-for-you ingredients, including amino acids, hyaluronic acid and vitamin C.

To authenticate its claims, Smileactives performed a clinical study of 52 users, whose teeth became 3 shades whiter on average in just 7 days. After 14 days, teeth became up to 8 shades whiter. Those are pretty impressive results.

I’ve been using Smileactives for about two months, and my teeth are definitely whiter. See for yourself. 

Besides its quality formula and advanced technology, Smileactives was developed by the same biochemist who invented the one-hour, light-activated tooth-whitening process. So you can be sure it’s the real deal when it comes to teeth whitening. 

Smileactives is so confident you’ll love its Pro Whitening Gel, it invites you to use it for 60 days, and if you’re not beaming from ear to ear, return the tube – EVEN EMPTY – for a full refund, less s&h!

There’s more. Buy one tube of Smileactives and get the second tube as a thank you gift, a $29.95 value.

If our knees and thighs could talk, they’d surely beg us for more attention: “You baby your face with special products, but all we get is soap and water when you shower.  No wonder we’re thirsty, and look droopy and shriveled!” they’d groan. 

Even if these two body parts silently suffer from neglect when we’re young, their appearance as we age loudly tells us it’s time to take notice. 

That means retiring the soap, and applying the same quality ingredients to our knees and thighs that we use on our faces. Besides, drug store soap actually ages our skin even faster!

In its place, get your hands on the exceptional Crepe Erase^® Advanced body kit. This two-step treatment embodies the must-have skincare ingredients our knees and thighs need to feel – and look – healthy and loved. 

I discovered Crepe Erase over five years ago, and it’s been an essential part of my beauty program ever since. My legs say thank you over and over again!

So YOUR legs will thank you, too!

More on the Crepe Erase dreamy duo in a moment. First, a quick four-pronged lesson on why areas like our knees and thighs need as much TLC as our faces:  

1. The largest organ of our bodies, skin is stressed on the outside from decades of exposure to the sun, air pollution, tobacco smoke, and other environmental factors. 
2. Elastin and collagen, the vital proteins on the inside that give skin its tensile strength and elasticity, start declining when we’re only 20! Our skin becomes lax and wrinkly all over, including on our  legs.
3. Losing weight – after dieting or pregnancy – reduces fat tissue, but skin that’s been overstretched often doesn’t shrink adequately, leaving us with excess loose skin.  Since our legs bear our weight most, they often pay the biggest price. 
4. Unless we faithfully exercise, our once well-toned muscles lose their ability to keep skin taut and firm.

This cluster of issues used to be impossible to treat without plastic surgery, but the science of skin care beauty now gives us valuable solutions in a jar. One of the absolute best is TruFirm Complex, the hero ingredient powering the Crepe Erase Advanced collection. An exclusive blend – including three plant extracts to help reinforce our skin’s netting – the formula makes skin appear tighter and firmer. 

Let me make that even clearer: Crepe Erase helps our skin look like it did when we were younger. And that’s precisely how I prefer my skin to look! 

Crepe Erase Advanced also contains nine Super Hydrators, including coconut oil, cocoa butter, olive oil, squalane, grapeseed oil, Vitamin E and a trio of glycerides to deliver 48 hours of intense hydration to dry, crepey skin. Quick absorbing without leaving a greasy residue, the light and airy moisture-rich formula works to visibly smooth and renew the skin. 

In the shower, I grab my bottle of silky Body Smoothing Pre-Treatment with gentle exfoliators to lift away dead, rough surface cells and make my skin look smoother and more radiant. (By the way, avoid long, hot showers because they’ll dry your skin even more!)

After showering, I massage the Advanced Body Repair Treatment into the crepey skin around my neck, chest, arms and legs. Just like its name says, this lightly whipped formula gives skin all over my body a healthier, firmer look.  Absorbs quickly and isn’t one bit greasy.

You’d be interested to know that hydrators like those in Crepe Erase Advanced help your skin absorb water from the environment, while moisturizers help seal moisture into the skin. Using a topical hydrator such as glycerin increases the moisture content of cells,  which helps to smooth the appearance of wrinkles. 

Moisturizers alone don’t do much good if your skin cells don’t have enough moisture in the first place. 

The Advanced 5-Piece Body & Face System also treats our skin above the chin!

Unlike typical moisturizers or lotions that don’t reach beneath the skin’s surface, Crepe Erase Advanced is a true treatment. And the Crepe Erase Advanced Body + Face System from Body Firm also treats the skin above my chin:

I massage the luxurious and rejuvenating Advanced Refining Facial Scrub from my forehead down to my neck to gently remove rough, dead skin cells. My reward: Visibly softer, smoother, firmer, and brighter skin. The scrub is paraben free, too!

Then I apply Advanced Restorative Facial Treatment, a deluxe, ultra-hydrating formula with TruFirm and a blend of moisturizing oils. Along with its sister products, it plumps, smoothes and firms, and diminishes the look of fine lines and wrinkles.

Even after a late night, I can trust Flaw-Fix Eye Cream to instantly reduce the appearance of puffiness, dark circles, fine lines, and wrinkles. It absorbs quickly and can be used at night and in the morning. Pro tip: Eye cream also works as a hydrating mask on and above the lips to make them look fuller and reduce the appearance of fine lines.
