True Night Light

By Andrea Goodwin, associate editor (agoodwin@beanstalkbiz.com)

Finally! Winter arrived in LA! It’s wonderful to wear coats again. And yet, what did Jack Frost bring with him this year? Super dry, nutrient-hungry skin. God, we look tired in the morning. When did my face begin to look like my mother’s? Fine lines, weird pigmentation losses. What a girl to do?

It’s time to turn the lights out and turn the brighteners on – TRUE, one of our favorite cosmetics makers, brings some new entries to our anti-aging skin regimen. TRUE has introduced a line of “cosmeceutical” Idebenone products that will redefine beauty sleep. What is idebenone? (ee-dee-be-known) Superceutical Idebenone stops the vicious cycle of aging to radically correct and protect. It blocks environmental aging at the structure level, and is clinically proven to visibly reduce lines while significantly improving firmness, texture and radiance. It gives you dramatic results while protecting the skin from oxidation and environmental damage.

If you feel like splurging on yourself this Christmas, and why shouldn’t you, BeansTalk recommends that you check out the TRUE Night Light Trio, a boxed set of skin products containing the remarkable Idebenone.

Night Light Trio stops time, all the time. Start with the Advanced Treatment Cleanser. This exfoliating and resurfacing cleanser imparts serious benefits while removing oil and make-up. It will boost the efficacy of the skin products you use later, as well. Follow up with the Essential Soothing Tonic. It completes cleansing while soothing the skin and soul, and leaves skin refreshed and free of impurities left behind from tap water. Lastly, the Radiance Revealing Complex reverses uneven skin tone while brightening and preventing blemish marks, sun damage and hyper-pigmentation. BeansTalk has been on this regimen for the last two weeks and are so happy with the results that we have been walking around without our make up more often than usual. We appreciate the super clean and tighter feeling in our face. We think we had a bit more glow in the Christmas photo as well. Don’t hesitate on this one: suggested retail price: $120.

Recently, BeansTalk also tried the very first eye treatment containing Idebenone, the Anti-Aging I-lift Eye Contour Concentrate. This very potent nighttime treatment regenerates delicate eye tissue, and boosts the skin’s own collagen, for immediate and long-term results. The suggested retail price range of $40 to $90 may also seem like a splurge, but why invest in good eye make-up if you are not paying attention to the cosmetic condition of your skin?
