even steven: part two

Here we go, talking more skin care on Monday!

Two products today, first the Even Complexion Mask, then Even Complexion Essence. Sounds...even, no? That's kinda what we're shooting for here.

The details:

Women who tried TimeWise^® Even Complexion Mask during a consumer study saw a significant improvement in how their skin looked and felt, both immediately and after using the mask 3 to 4 times over a 10-day period:

• 90% said their skin immediately looked brighter*
• 95% said their skin felt soft*
• 90% said their skin felt moisturized*

*Results reported after a 10-day consumer study.

Now for the Even Complexion Essence. It's a really pretty iridescent solution; you can use it on a couple of spots only, or apply it over the entire face.

The details: TimeWise^® Even Complexion Essence actually helps to reduce visible dark spots and reverse skin discoloration to restore skin’s natural, even tone.

• Dark spots and skin discoloration are often caused by sun exposure or irritation associated with acne blemishes (on bronze skin tones). These triggers activate pigment-producing cells that form melanin, which eventually travels to the surface of the skin, causing freckles, dark spots and uneven coloration to appear. When you can interrupt the appearance of melanin on the surface of your skin, the result is more even skin tone.

• TimeWise^® Even Complexion Essence actually helps to reduce visible dark spots and reverse skin discoloration to restore skin’s natural, even tone.

• To receive maximum benefits and to help prevent further damage, it’s essential to use an SPF product, such as TimeWise^® Day Solution Sunscreen SPF 25^†, in addition to TimeWise^® Even Complexion Essence.

The results:

• 84% of panelists experienced more even skin tone*

*As seen by a dermatologist in a 12-week clinical study.

You can see that it's not an immediate fix, but it has helped shoo my blotchy spots out the door. I also noticed that the stats say it can help lessen the discoloration of acne blemishes for bronze skin tones; I am on the other side of the bronze spectrum (anything but bronze actually), but I have seen those pesky spots fade when I spot treat them. But that's just me. I'm telling you, I love this stuff.

While you're working on treating the problem, MK has the goods to cover it up; we'll talk concealers and the new foundation line next week. So much good stuff!
