What a difference a day makes. Or a few months. It doesn’t seem that long ago I was rolling with the (employed) fabulosity and enjoying the rewards of being a girl about town with a steady paycheck. Shopping, mani/pedis, lunching, facials, martinis. Life was good. And so was my skin care. While at one of those now-indulgent facials, I was introduced to Vitamin A Cell Renewal by Skin Authority. Or what I refer to as my cosmetic bag ninja. As in a covert agent specializing in unorthodox arts of war (or anti-aging).

It’s no secret that Vitamin A has a proven effect on regenerating your skin and reducing the signs of aging(among many other positives). So when my facialist had me in a relaxed state of spa-euphoria (steaming towels on the face and hands paraffin-dipped and wrapped), she pulled out this little wonder and said it’s the only one thing she really ever splurged on. Hhhhhmmmmm, really? Working at a spa you know there’s lots of product  tempations  to be had, yet she picked this one and stayed with it.

She thoughtlessly left it at the counter for me (she’s giving like that) when I checked out that day. The $92 price tag wasn’t super easy to swallow, but one bottle does last close to six months. And I could absolutely see a difference while using it. My deepest wrinkles started to soften, my skin had an all around brighter and softer tone, and since it helps to regenerate collagen my skin felt more firm, particularly around my mouth and jawline. And trust me, I can absolutely see a difference (now) not using it, too.
