Peachy Just Loves Origins: A New Year, A New You! Origins Gives Your Skin Care Routine A Fresh Start for 2010: Be sure to put Origins Starting Over into your Moisturzing Regime!


Visibly Level Lines and Reduce The Appearance of Wrinkles With Nature’s Alternative to Injections*  NEW! Origins Starting Over™ Age-erasing moisturizers – help eliminate the appearance of lines and wrinkles with the help of nature

*Results not equal to medical procedures

Everyone is counting down to Christmas-but before you know it, it will be 2011 and the New Year.  Resolutions galore will permeate the media and people's lives but at Whom You Know, we believe in carpe diem and always being in a state of improvement and seizing the day!  And that means taking care of our skin always.  Lines and wrinkles - the most visible signs of aging - afflict women and men beginning in their 20’s. Upon formation, we fight back and take action to decrease their appearance. Harsh chemicals and needles have become common courses of treatment. According to The American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the number of Botox® procedures increased by eight percent in 2008, to reach five million. Origins introducesNEW Starting Over™ Age-erasing moisturizer with Mimosa and Starting Over™ Age-erasing oil-free moisturizer with Mimosa.   (Origins is referring to the tree here, you overly enthusiastic Champagne Wishes readers!)

As skin ages; its structure deteriorates and collagen and elastin decrease. These structural changes are responsible for skin that looks older than it should. Excess sugar in skin and environmental concerns fuel the destructive process of Glycation which causes strong collagen to “ball up” and collapse resulting in lines, wrinkles and tone and texture damage.

“At Origins we look to nature for inspiration and science for validation. While studying natural ingredients in the plant world we uncovered the age-erasing powers of the Mimosa Tree,” said Lieve Declercq, Origins Global Spokesperson of Plant Physiology and Molecular Biology. “Specifically, the bark of the Mimosa Tree is a powerful natural collagen booster. We were thrilled to put its hidden talents to use as the key ingredient in Starting Over™.”

Along with other powerful plant ingredients that have been proven to help decrease the appearance of lines and wrinkles, Starting Over™ provides results from initial use. Argan Leaf and Green Algae work with Mimosa Tree Bark to help rebuild natural collagen and prevent against Glycation. A skin evening complex addresses dull and uneven skin tone with the powerful ingredients of Apple extract, Cucumber extract and Scutellaria Baicalensis Root. Skin will appear less lined and noticeably more uniform and luminous. Resurfacing agents of Chestnut-Castenae Sativa Extract, Salicylic Acid and Mannose Phosphate from corn weaken the bonds that anchor dead skin cells helping to resurface skin.

Caffeine from coffee beans, Turmeric and Yeast Ferment help provide antioxidant benefits and protect against irritation. The natural moisturizers of Sodium Hyaluronate, Trehalose from Corn, Wheat and Barley extracts provide moisturization that’s proven to last for hours after application.  Peachy Deegan has tried this product and is quite happy with the results on her face.  She is glowing, refreshed and the dead skin cells were gone within hours of the first application.  Also, this is a moisturizer that smells great!

Proven by Science
In recent sensory and clinical studies of women with age-related concerns; Starting Over™ Age-erasing moisturizers provided both immediate and long term results.
