I’m a #CoolAger! Thanks, Philosophy, for pointing that out!

My belief is that being able to be a #CoolAger, and to keep doing the things you love and want to do, depends a lot on genes- and I’m counting on having my mother’s! But it is also an attitude, and a determination not to “let the turkeys get you down”, as the expression goes! I HATE when people advise others not to do the things they love and want to do because of their age! As long as you want to and enjoy doing the “crazy” things you’ve always loved to do, keep doing them!! For me, being a #CoolAger is also doing what ever I can to make myself both look and feel good, and as youthful as possible. No, barring a miracle, I’m not gonna look 35 again (dang! LOL), but I can strive to look as good as possible. Living now in Extremely Rural West Virginia (as opposed to NYC, where I’m from and lived for many years), means I don’t have access to monthly facials and spas and shopping, and such, so I really have to do it all myself! I don’t wear makeup every day now, either, so it’s important to me that my skin look as good as it possibly can without makeup. I do a lot of research on natural medicine, which I rely upon for my health, and I take Ayurveda (Indian) herbs every day as they really do make a difference in how I look and feel. And as an Official Anti-Aging Beauty Product Junkie, I am Always looking for the newest, best, and most ‘cutting edge’ anti-aging beauty products to hold back the hands of time (at least visually LOL), and so I was really excited to try Philosophy’s “uplifting miracle worker moisturizer“, as it promises, in only 4 weeks, to make one’s skin feel more firm with a better bounce, with one’s facial contours appearing more sculpted, youthful and defined. In 8 weeks, 75% of the women who sampled it showed a clinical improvement in skin firmness, radiance, and texture! That is pretty darn impressive!

I’ve used a number of Philosophy products in the past and have always been pleased with them, and I was pleased with this one, too! (Thank you, Crowdtap!)

I really like the way the uplifting miracle worker moisturizer feels when I apply it- it’s cool and lightly firming. You can see from the photo of me applying it, that my skin has a nice, smooth sheen to it. It’s absorbed quickly into my skin, my face does feel soft and hydrated all day, I’ve experienced no breakouts or other issues, and my makeup goes on smoothly on top of it. It is a great moisturizer! To be honest, however, I was, frankly, expecting more… more visible anti-aging results, faster, I guess, especially as it’s $65 and not an inexpensive product… I am using it on my face, neck, and decollete, twice a day, and I am going to continue using it to see if I get more “lifting” and “firming” results over time. Philosophy does suggest that for best results it should be used together with their “uplifting miracle worker instant-effect cool-lift & tightening moisturizer booster”, which supposedly provides “instant results”…  and I want to try that, along with this moisturizer… Not cheap, but heck- I AM worth it! 🙂
