What’s New:
Although BeansTalk wishes we had started taking care of our skin much much earlier, we are grateful to the folks over at Elizabeth Grant for helping us make up for the sins of our past and slow down the aging process. For the times of the month when our pocketbooks will not allow for us to splurge on expensive skin care products, Elizabeth Grant recently launched a new and innovative skincare and spa line called C29. Because we are big fans of Elizabeth Grant we couldn’t wait to try it.
C29 products are made up of copper peptides gently infused in a solution natural extracts and vitamins that deeply penetrate the skin making it appear more vibrant, firm and smooth looking. This botanical elixir stimulates collagen and improves the overall health and hydration of the skin.
Their research indicates that: C29 Skincare helps to stimulate the production of collagen diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, stimulates elastin helping to make the skin appear firmer, and helps to thicken the dermis making it younger looking.
More about their Swiss Formula:
The name C29 is a reference to the remarkable list of ingredients in the line. The C stands for copper, of course. Copper activates the natural repair and remodeling process that rebuilds and renews your skin, and helps reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
The other 29 are really interesting. Should we eat them? Make tea? Or put them on our skin?

Our Favorites:
A big determiner of whether or not we regularly use a skin product or not is the fragrance. Beanstalk’s new favorite scent is Gingery Mint. It smells yummy and fresh, is subtle, and elevates your mood.
For starters try the C29 Gingery Mint Refreshing Body Buffer. This refreshing exfoliator gently buffs the skin, leaving it soft, smooth and glowing. $19.99
A new staple to our manicure routine is the C29 Gingery Mint Hand Cream. We bring it with us to the manicure salon, to have Gina, our favorite “rubber” work it into to our hands and forearms. After the manicure we slip our wedding rings right back on, knowing that it will not make them greasy. $12.99
Don’t forget about about the C29 Gingery Mint -Cuticle Cream. This cream helps to strengthen the base of the nail to encourage the nail growth. Swiss formulation Cuticle Cream contains Soy Oil - known for its highly moisturizing and anti-aging properties and Vitamin E and Vitamin A. Daily use softens and conditions our cuticles too. $12.99
The C29 range of skincare includes products to care for your body from head to toe. Eye Lash Conditioner, Green Tea Facial Exfoliator, Body Soufflé, Cuticle Cream, and Foot Scrubs are just a few of the ways to treat yourself with C29.
The skincare line may be purchased on the company website www.c29skincare.com and will soon be available across the country through spa consultants.
