MXTC TOP THREE (3) CONCEALERS OF 2022 | M A K E U P x T H E C I T Y

Hey guys what’s up! I’m going to be starting to write more on my blog as I feel like I’ve left you guys out of the loop for a while as I’ve been posting mini reviews and all my PR packages on my instagram account (@camichaelll) but I feel like I reach more of you via my blog! So with that said it’s almost the holiday season so many companies have already been sending out holiday sets which I love, with it almost being a new year I figured I’d start my little series where I review what I feel has been the best in beauty for 2022, so let’s get started and jump right in!

First concealer of 2022 I want to talk about is the E.L.F Camo Concealer which is an amazing drugstore concealer with coverage that is unmatched for concealing blemishes or hyperpigmentation, I would not advise this concealer to be used under eye as it can be drying and crease quite a bit, but if you have any spots to conceal it’s unmatched. Below are some claims from the brand,

  • Full coverage finish
  • 16 hour wear
  • Can be used to conceal, correct, contour & highlight
  • Highly pigmented formula
  • Lightweight texture
  • Dries to a matte finish with an oil-balancing formula
  • Won’t settle into creases or lines
  • Suitable for all skin types
  • Large doe-foot applicator for easy application

The shade range is pretty good I think. In terms of the lighter shades which I am most familiar with, the selection is excellent. They go very light, which is often lacking in many ranges. I’m pretty pale and I think I can actually use one of the lighter medium shades. It makes fast work of redness, pigmentation, blemishes, imperfections and pores, and blends effortlessly into the skin.

SIDE NOTE ➡️ I do want to also mention that they did also come out with a hydrating version of this concealer which I have not tried but I hear it’s unmatched for under eye area vs. the original

➡️ You can buy E.L.F Camo Concealer here

For the second concealer of 2022 would be the viral Kosas Revealer concealer which you’ve been on TikTok recently, you’ve probably heard about it. It covers darkness under my eyes, redness by my nose, and post-acne hyperpigmentation around my chin. It has a doe-foot applicator that makes it easy to apply. It has medium coverage, which means it provides enough coverage to actually conceal but not so much that it no longer looks like skin. It’s also formulated with lots of skin-care benefits, like caffeine to fight dark circles and puffiness, hyaluronic acid and peptides to visibly plump and hydrate skin, and arnica to calm redness and inflammation.

This product is best for people who want to master that no-makeup makeup look. It makes your skin look like skin, and it’s not cakey, nor does it crease or wear off easily. If you want something you can just throw in your bag for quick touchups, this is a great concealer. It’s also a good concealer if you have darkness or red spots; it can cover them all. If you’re looking for a clean makeup product that works, I’d highly recommend giving this a try.

For my third concealer of 2022 I’m going a little more high end as I feel this is a mix of lowest cost to highest, also, it’s the PR list I love being on, Tom Ford Beauty is here to slay the game with their newest launch to date, Yes I’m talking about Shade and Illuminate Concealer, firstly, wow, this concealer is worth the price point of 125.00$ CAN.

The concealer is full coverage but still looks incredibly natural and never looks heavy. The formula blends so effortlessly and looks very skin-like, if you use just the right amount. While it is expensive, a little bit goes such a long way. The concealer is correcting, brightening, and perfecting.

This concealer formula is VERY pigmented! You need just a tiny speck to cover pigmentation, spots, and even under the eyes. I don’t typically gravitate towards a full coverage concealer because they tend to be so thick and heavy; however, this concealer is neither heavy nor too thick. It does have a thicker texture than I would typically reach for but the formula blends out so well and it doesn’t look heavy. I will say, you can easily go overboard and make this look heavy and it will end up sinking into your lines and crevices if you apply too much! I notice this when I was actually at the counter and the sales associate told me she was wearing this concealer and she looked younger than me but, she had so much concealer under her eyes, it looked cakey, heavy, and it emphasized every line around her eyes. Also, the first time I applied it around my nose to hide my redness and I applied much too much and it really sank into the creases of my nose and made my skin look heavy and wrinkly in that area.

➡️ In closing, my final thoughts are this concealer is a winner, and you can buy Shade and Illuminate here

So there you are, my top picks for concealer must haves for 2022, if you disagree well that would be on you! please do also note that I am sent a lot of PR (check out my instagram to see more) and I will be doing a giveaway for new followers soon so head over and follow my blog and instagram for a chance to win some free makeup and skincare.

POINT OF VIEW : MEN IN MAKEUP | MAKEUPxTHECITY

Good morning or evening, whenever you are reading this! It happens to be 5:40am for me which is when I find that I write the best! Just got a new MacBook and I’m still getting used to the key size so bare with me! What’s up? What’s new with you? I happen to have met someone who I really really like and the best part of it is, I know he feels the same way but more on that in another post coming soon! Today we are talking about men in makeup so let’s jump right into it!

For the first time in centuries, men wearing makeup is not completely taboo. Thanks to social media and the emergence of male beauty influencers like Manny Gutierrez and Bretman Rock, makeup is in the early stages of becoming more gender-inclusive. This concept, however, is hardly new.

For generations, makeup has been seen as a “girls-only” enterprise, so we forget that it wasn’t always that way. For millennia, stretching from 4000 BCE through the 18th century, men traditionally used makeup in myriad ways. It wasn’t until the mid-1800s that makeup was relegated to one end of the gender spectrum. At that time, the influential Queen Victoria I of Great Britain deemed cosmetics vulgar, a view corroborated by the Church of England. During the Victorian era, makeup was considered an abomination by both the crown and the church, creating strong, widespread associations between makeup, vanity, femininity, and “the Devil’s work.” As religious values continued to permeate cultures around the world, mainstream definitions of masculinity narrowed by the 20th century, makeup was seen as a girls-only pursuit.

Today, the world is finally coming back around and growing to accept different gender expressions. I hope the trend continues, but society can’t move forward without looking back.

“Makeup has evolved through the years they [men] have found a way to use makeup very simply and organically, to create everyday looks for themselves without any stigmas behind it.”

basic base

As the rules of gender presentation become more and more flexible, makeup continues to slowly infiltrate some men’s everyday routines—not necessarily always in the larger-than-life fashion of YouTube gurus, but in subtler ways. Skincare is much less stigmatized. But the acceptance extends to color cosmetics as well—a little concealer on a blemish here, a little brow gel there.

GLAMGLOW – 6-ACID SKINCARE | M A K E U P x T H E C I T Y

➡️ @cammichaelinreallife

Hello again boys and girls, what’s up?! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I spent my weekend with someone who I really like, I also know he reads my blog so I’ll have to watch what I say buuuut you know when you meet someone and it’s just right?! Yeah, best feeling in the world eh? Anyway, moving on, I just recently had a chance to give Glamglow’s skincare and masks a chance specifically for pores and problem skin as that’s what the PR focuses on for the month of July – September and WOW is all I have to say, I will not be using anything but this skincare for a while I already know that! Lets take a deeper look at Glamglow and some of the best products!

My first Glamglow Cleanser tested is called Supercleanse and it is a Cream to Foam Cleanser. The rich Cleanser turns into a cleansing foam on contact with water, which reliably removes make-up, dirt, impurities and excess oil and refines the pores – ideal for oily and impure skin. Glamglow’s famous TEAOXI technology with eucalyptus leaf oil combines the Supercleanse Cream to Foam Cleanser with Linola oil, which is known for its anti-inflammatory and soothing properties, and two types of clay that intensively clarify and matt the skin; A mix of bamboo, Ubame wood and coconut charcoal is also wonderfully refreshing. The Supercleanse by Glamglow is gentle on the skin, my skin is not dried out by the application and then feels cleansed without tension.

The Glamglow Supertoner is a highly concentrated, exfoliating tonic with the Super Six acid mix and activated carbon for instantly refreshed and refined skin. The toner clears the skin with the mixture of six different acids by removing dead skin cells that can cause skin problems. The pores are immediately refined and clarified for an improved skin appearance. Shake the toner slightly before use and place on a cotton pad to cleanse the skin. Apply the Glamglow Supercleanser first. Also on the supertoner my skin responded positively.

The secret weapon is coming, the super serum of Glamglow. The Superserum is a skin-cushioned and gently peeling serum that removes dead skin cells and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It is enriched with the Super Six acid mix, a highly effective complex of exfoliating AHA, BHA and PHA acids, which acts on the various layers of the skin to dissolve dead skin cells. In addition, the Glamglow Superserum promotes cell renewal and improves both the appearance of the skin and the skin tone. Added activated carbon clears the pores, while hyaluronic acid immediately moisturizes the skin. Use the serum after cleansing and before the moisturizer. You already feel when applying that this serum has a strong effect, so it is rather not suitable for sensitive skin. Anyway, I could see an improvement of the skin. When using beauty products with fruit acids and Co. you should, however, always pay attention to sunprotection

My personal all-time favorite face mask for impure skin is still the Glamglow Supermud, a very effective mask that will fight the polluted pores. I still use it at least 1-2 times a month to clean the skin pore-deep.

MILLI ROSE BEAUTY | MAKEUPxTHECITY

Hello boys and girls, today is July the 3rd which means today is my birthday! I also want to say sorry for the lack of posting going on lately, that is going to change moving forward! As you all know I am on about 19 different PR lists and a brand called MILLI ROSE reached out and asked if MXTC would like to join their PR list so to which I of course said, heck yes! Keep reading to find out more about the brand and products and if it’s worth the money since we all hundreds of brands at our disposal!

With most other makeup brands, I find that I’ll use like 2 or 3 of the neutral colors constantly, and the other glittery, bright ones end up going to waste. With MILLI ROSE, the range of colors you get that you’ll actually use is amazing. The shades are meant to be used for all occasions, so they complement each other perfectly. Each of the palette’s hues pairs together flawlessly and is designed to be layered if you want a more intense color.

MILLI ROSE PR PACKAGE

Each palette has such a broad range of colors that can take you from day to night. The eyeshadow pallets also have matching lipsticks, so it’s easy to know what lip to choose to finish off your look. They’re not overly matchy-matchy but designed to complement the colors of the eyeshadows perfectly.

The palette is so versatile the colors can be mixed and matched to create lots of different looks. And the lipsticks that came with the kit really finish off the looks well. The red lipstick is super classic, and the brown lipsticks create a glam look. I also found that they stay on really well, and the shadows were super easy to blend.

SIDE NOTE ➡️ one of the downfalls of MILLI ROSE is the packaging, it feels very cheap and almost like cardboard, there’s no weight to the product!

ZIIP BEAUTY – TAKE BEAUTY INTO YOUR OWN HANDS | MAKEUPxTHECITY

So I’ve got something really cool, I actually got to go to a press event for ZIIP Beauty and ask the creatorMelanie Simon, some questions and find out for myself what the heck makes this go amazing also why they decided to take away the video of the male, mine you I wasn’t a ZIIP user so I only heard echo’s of this video. I got to find out first hand why things are priced the way they are, and why ZIIP Beauty proves to put some electrical esthetician’s out of a job – a lot of celebrities are known to stop by these popular trend spots rather then going under the knife.

First of all, What is ZIIP ZIIP is a handheld electrical skincare device. The technology behind ZIIP is ground breaking – tiny, energetic currents are pushed into the skin through positively and negatively discs located on the bottom of the ZIIP. Envision a battery where there is a positive and negative end. The energy runs between the two polarizing ends and into whatever it’s in contact with giving it life; in this case, the skin. With regular use ZIIP will leave your skin, revived, refreshed and lifted.

What is it that you feel people need ZIIP?  Well, as the aging process kicks in, or acne causing bacteria is a growing concern for you, the skin starts breaking down, due to overly washing your face or due to lack of collagen production. One of the key factors is decreased ATP production – ATP is nicknamed molecular currency because it’s used to produce collagen and elastin in the skin. ZIIP increases ATP by up to 500%

Another mentality ➡️ ZIIP infuses the skin with specific waveforms to create ATP, as a result, the user will produce more ‘youth proteins’ to create more beautiful and healthy skin. Excess ATP can’t be stored in the body, using ZIIP one to three times per week allows the user to create more collagen and elastin, heal tissue, stimulate lymphatic drainage, increase blood circulation and diminish bacteria in the skin.

Check out my previous post where I touched base on ZIIP and the different types of treatments that you sync right to the device from the APP  RIDE OR DIE PRODUCTS | MAKEANDTHECITY

Compulsive indulgence? ZIIP is proudly made within the USA, where modern technology and beauty intersect. ZIIP has offices in San Francisco Bay area, the epicenter of young tech companies, and LA. ZIIP is available online, Barney’s New York, Violet Grey, Neiman Marcus, Revolve.com, and other retailors. ZIIP sells for over $500.00US.

I have a nose ring, when I use ZIIP I take it out, do I have too?
No you don’t have to take it out if you do not wish to, ZIIP can be used with metal piercings/implants; however, the piercing area should be avoided as much as possible as you may feel a “zinging” sensation if the probe touches anything metal.

What happen to the video that featured a male showing how to use the ZIIP, Why was it changed to a woman?
It’s best to avoid using ZIIP on areas where there is facial hair. The hair acts as a blocker to ZIIP’s electrical currents so we thought it best to change the outline of the Quick Fix video your are speaking of. We recommend using ZIIP on a clean-shaven face, but if you do have a beard and/or mustache, you can adjust any of the electrical treatments to avoid those areas, or use the Quick Fix or VitalEyes electrical treatments, which do not include the lower face and jaw area.

The conductive gel is kind of.. pricey for this day and age and you have to use a lot of it, how long does a bottle last?
2-5 months. We also offer a Silver Treatment for only $50 vs. $150

The PR package received was very beautiful and presented very well, is there a difference between PR send outs and what a consumer will receive?
Absouloutly not.

Well, what do you think? Will you order a ZIIP or save up to get one? I will say the Instant Gratification treatment is my go to before getting ready before I getting ready to out, Quick Fix and, Energize are my night in treatments and every couple days, Total clearing. I am giving this device full run down and putting it to the test, I will say that I’m not to sure that I agree the conductive gel will last five months. I will add updates to this post as they are needed.

JEFFREE STAR – MAGIC STAR CONCEALER | M A K E U P x T H E C I T Y

The Jeffree Star Magic Star Concealer made a loud statement with its wide range of shades. Jeffree Star Cosmetics launched 30 options initially, and since the product hit the shelves, this number has grown to 54 as of September 2021.

The Magic Star Concealer came out at a time when demand for different shade options was at an all-time high, but with few brands rising to meet it, and Jeffree Star Cosmetics more than exceeded expectations.

Jeffree Star Cosmetics was created by make-up artist Jeffree Star, formerly known as MySpace musician, who came to grow a multi-million make-up business. Whether you hate or love the company’s owner, its formulas are hard to beat.

The Jeffree Star Magic Star Concealer is said to cover tattoos on the body and face and claims to hold anti-aging properties aimed at reducing the development of fine lines and wrinkles. The concealer also comes in a color corrector option for use against blemishes.

Concealers are a very versatile product type that leaves plenty of usage options for the user. They were created to conceal acne spots, but famous make-up trendsetters from all walks of life, from the Kardashians to drag queens, brought to light its different usages. These include applying different shades on the cheeks for contouring, hiding facial hair, discoloration, tattoos, you name it.

For acne coverage, it is best to choose a color close to your skin tone so that it does not stand out against the rest of the skin when covering the blemish. For brightening the under eyes area, cheekbones, forehead, or chin, choose a shade lighter than your skin. For contouring, choose a darker shade and use it to reshape features like cheekbones, chin, temples, or forehead.

➡️ The concealer feels very light and does not add noticeable weight to the skin, which is a miracle for something with such good coverage. A little bit of product will go a long way, so I feel that I should’ve blended out more on my first few attempts, but such is the learning curve of a new product. Based on how little product is required, this will last longer than your average concealer.

➡️ The Magic Star concealer’s magic makes it a bit pricey but fair when it comes to the results provided. The fact that it holds through the day while staying matte confirms its value.

SIDE NOTE ➡️ Like I mentioned above I will be repurchasing this conceal 100% although it only has 3.5 ml of product for $22.00 I still feel that it is worth it because of the product itself, another down side to it is you almost always have to buy this concealer or any products from the brand online as they are not sold in stores which makes finding your shade a little harder!

JWLS – TIMEPIECES WITH A PURPOSE | M A K E U P X T H E C I T Y

Hello this post is going to be set to go to live for Saturday I believe as I’ve had a small procedure done that I’m at this point going to be hopefully sleeping, and kept asleep for a little, its not plastic surgery was, I don’t think so anyway – my jaw bone was broken in my past and healed incorrectly so it will be re-broken and re-set into place and my mouth will be re-wired shut for a bit again, these is a lot of reasons why I want to do this and number one is purely for vanity. Sadly.

I know that anyone can find a cause that is close to something in their life or close to something that has caused them pain and run with the idea, I guess what I’m trying to say is there is a lot of ideas dreamt up and found a reality in the world because of heartbreak and that become successful because of the message that this item spreads, for example, Product (RED), TOMS, Radiant Cosmetics and the list keeps going and going. I find unless it’s very easy to become marketable at the begging because of all of the amazing work that you’re doing, but 56% of companies end up keeping the promised profits to charity – which is sad but not illegal for them to do as long and the intent is there and we continue to back them up.

Until I found, well I didn’t find, I wish that I could say I found this company, and I paid for the items because truth be told if I would have come across these in store I would have paid because of the craftsmanship, beauty, function, style, should I keep going? Also the work that they do is so transparent which I love, I understand you have to market and break even with yourself then the rest is pure profit, or in this case goes purely to The Julia Lyons Foundation which is a sad story with a beautiful message and marketing can become very exspensive and yes I was sent a couple of watches, one I am going to keep and the others I will ask if they would like them sent back or if I am able to give them away with the promise if social marketing such as #jwls #julialyonsfoundation or #fashionthattakesaction because marketing campaigns can becomes exspensive that’s for sure but choosing to work with micro influencers with an audience of 500k+ gets you so, so much more exposure so I hope that I am bringing awareness to such wonderful thing that is also close to my heart.

“Her name was Julia Marlane Lyons – affectionately nicknamed “Jewels” – and she is the eponymous inspiration for the JWLS brand. The sister of JWLS founder Emily Lyons, Julia passed away in 2011 after a long, hard-fought battle with cystic fibrosis. She underwent double-lung transplants – twice – and countless hospital stays. And, finally, there was the incalculable loss – leaving an indelible void in the hearts and minds of many. Through it all, her beautiful, fairy-like, irresistible energy shone – and shone brightly. This is fashion that takes action. A minimum of 100% of each and every JWLS purchase goes towards The Julia Lyons Foundation. Your purchase helps patients battling Cystic Fibrosis directly in the community. The Julia Lyons Foundation is driven by this mission: to lessen the hardships of people with CF, to lift up the CF community, and to proactively fight back against this disease – so that one day, no more tears will be shed over the devastating losses it inflicts.”

 Another wonderful thing about this company is it was founded in 2017 in Toronto, Canada which is always wonderful to see a small company meet the correct PR firm and go global and have the opportunity to market different avenues.

WHAT DOES YOUR SKIN SAY ABOUT YOU AND YOUR HEALTH | RECANTATION | M X T C

What’s going on boys and girls – I’ve had it with some brands, I really need to press that just because products are sent to me or I am paid to review and advertise something does not mean I will go and say lies about the product, I have to say, I give skin care and some makeup items a good two weeks, before I write a review. With a recent paid review (SERUM C | M X T C) I didn’t give it that long because I figured it’s just a suspended vitamin c, treatment strength, serum. I just have to say that, I should have gave it the two weeks because I ended up having a massive reaction to the product, with using Serum C I cut out all my skin care and used just a basic moisturizer with my eye products – I got the worst burns on my forehead, cheek and chin and no it was not a break out or anything like that, I thought that at first and I understand that so treatments like this can cause the skin to become ‘worse’ before it gets better, the worst part about it, is I get a damn press release which is information in extreme details and it didn’t say anything about a warning, it’s not the vitamin c it’s how it is suspended that makes it kind of dangerous for the skin without being micro needled please google it if you don’t understand what I am talking about, the worst part about it when I showed pictures to the brand, and talked about what happen they just didn’t care, and they were not shocked. Did I mention Serum C comes with a $200.00 price tag, I’ve learned to understand different signs from my body using my skin that something isn’t right, inside and out, you should also.

There are 3 things people will first notice about you, eyebrows, skin and teeth, with out a doubt someone will make a impression about you based on those 3 things especially in the judgment world we live in today – your skin is the most noticeable part of your body. And it can play a major role in telling you about your health. Rashes, acne (spots), bruising, and more can all indicate potential health problems you may want to look into.

I know this 1 will be nothing new to you but stress, when you’re under emotional stress, whether it’s from a job or another life situation, your body reacts physically. If you’ve noticed breakouts on your skin but don’t believe it’s due to your diet or age, then it may be stress-related. Take a step back to find out what is causing the stress in your life, you have to try to calm down and cut the stress out because in most cases people will start to treat it like active acne throwing benzoyl peroxide and all kinds of chemicals thinking it will help the situation which typically causes irritation, loss of hydration and extra sebum creation and in return causes your skin to fighting back and it becoming worse which in return just makes you more stressed about your appearance.

SIDE NOTE  This is really important to remember, in most cases acne and irritation from stress is large, red, and 99.9% of the time very sore, you shouldn’t try to pop it but if you do you will find out that, it typically will not pop. As fast as it came typically over night is as fast as it will start to settle down and tone down, in as little as three days it will be almost completely gone, Try putting some Witch Hazel and Vitamin E cream on it or take Vitamin A orally, for no more than 3 days. For more facts about Vitamin A click here.

headerskin

Water helps your body sustain normal functions. When you’re not hydrated, your skin will show it. Your skin might become dry and look dull; you won’t have the glow you’d normally have if you kept yourself hydrated. While dull skin might not seem like the worst thing, being dehydrated is terrible for your body. The amount of water you should be drinking each day varies per person, but you should generally aim for around 64 ounces daily. I truly cannot stress just how important it is for your body to be hydrated, I don’t drink pop and only drink real juices and it’s not like I’m punishing myself, it’s because I just don’t like pop or overly fake sweet drinks. Next time stick with water, your teeth will thank you also.

HYDRATION


Any kind of rash, hives, or red skin could mean you’re having some kind of allergic reaction. It may not be as dangerous as anaphylaxis (which often results in difficulty breathing, swollen eyes, and potentially deadly health problems), but it still isn’t something that should be taken lightly. If you’re taking a new antibiotic, make sure to check around your body and look for any sign of hives or rash that could mean you’re allergic to the drug or said ingredient. The same thing is to be said for some active ingredients in some skin care can interfere with medication or make you ill without even knowing it when it is absorbed into the skin.  If you notice anything, stop taking it and talk to your doctor or contact the company for more information about an ingredient as they have to disclose any and all information.

Another thing to look out for and I actually did have this happen to me, there is a massive difference between being pale and being almost white, if you notice you skin a little on the white, semi grey side, it would be wise to talk to your doctor and get a blood work panel done to determine if your anemic. There are different types of anemia and treatable with some vitamins. Make sure you pay attention to what your body is telling you.

The Modern Shield I love so much, it’s more like a finisher to your skin care

  • A one-stop skin protector
  • The back-bone of your day to day skin defence, it works like an environmental shield
  • Protects from high energy visible light from computers

Offers protection from infra-red radiation

Life is sometimes complicated for our skin to deal with.  Step out of the door and ever-changing weather – sharp sudden bursts of sunlight followed by low-lying clouds for example – can create situations where our skin is damaged by the sun’s rays one minute and then absorbing pollutants from traffic fumes the next.

Modern-Shield


How does it work boys and girls?

Ormesia is the active ingredient found in AENEA Modern Shield, with extraordinary powers to protect the skin from indoor and outdoor pollutants. Derived from a climbing vine native to South America, the Maracuja plant is well known for its fruits which are used in food and medicine. It’s better known as the passion flower and loved for its beauty, juice and scent.

Rich in antioxidants, the Maracuja plant oil has the ability to strengthen the skin’s fibroblasts, increasing the elastin and collagen found naturally in the skin, and making it more able to withstand aggression.Offering protection from airborne pollutants, it also detoxifies and prevents against sun damage, activating your skin’s self-defence mechanisms and revealing its natural radiance. Crucially it also helps to inhibit the skin’s natural reactions to high energy visible light from our computers and supports the cell’s DNA.The Modern Shield is the perfect hero product to protect from the effects of sun damage and UV rays on the skin (amongst other things) using the most up to date vegan and anti-ageing ingredients and formulations.

Lifestyle Enhancer

  • Protects your skin from ageing caused by oxidation
  • Keeps your skin youthful and elastic by fighting glycation
  • Helps reduce wrinkles and lines
  • Increases skin firmness

    AENEA Lifestyle Enhancer is a skin serum which works a bit like a booster for your daily beauty regime to tackle the effects of glycation. What is glycation exactly? Technically it’s the process by which the structure and activity of proteins within the skin becomes slowly stiffer, leading to the collagen and elastin becoming less elastic, a well-known cause of premature ageing.

    Another way to understand glycation is if you think about what happens when meat is cooked in a frying pan.  As it is exposed to heat, the natural sugars in it become more rigid until finally the steak is hard.This is what happens to our skin when it is exposed to the ageing rays of the sun – it’s slowly glycating. As the sugar molecules react with free amino groups of proteins, irreversible cross-linked molecules are formed, modifying the structure of our skin and making it appear more brittle and stiff. It’s an irreversible process, causing yellowing of the skin, and a loss of elasticity and suppleness.  Made worse by high dietary glucose levels, and by natural ageing, it has an overall detrimental effect on the visible appearance of our skin.Those would be my absolute two favourite from the hero collection and i know without a doubt anyone given the change to get tone of my two favourites will have their skin changed almost over night – it is absolutely unbelievable i stand behind any of the products that i review and it takes me a long time to review the skin care and in sure that its right for me, men and woman!  this brand had changed my skin care game in so many ways! It’s funny because I used to struggle and struggle just like all of you trying to find the right brand for me and I would always be told the ingredients are the same is exhibit a vs. exhibit b that is so far from the truth and we all know it, we get what we pay for! plain and simple.Please check out their website here  HOUSE OF AENEA
