if you have seen our Today’s Special Value, you may be asking yourself, “what is in it for me?” how about finally having the best skin of your life, no matter your age? 

i can remember being very young and learning a new word and then trying to use it in everyday life. one word came to mind when i was thinking of chatting with you in this blog, the word is "epidermis". back in the day when i was a child i would say, "your epidermis is showing!", trying to be clever. little did i know just how true this statement is. it evokes a lot of emotion when you look in the mirror and actually see your epidermis. i now ask you, do you like your "epidermis showing"? if you were not born with perfect skin, spent too much time in the sun, have not taken care of your skin or think you have too many wrinkles, then reading this blog will help you to determine if this philosophy top selling trio is for you. i personally love these three products and recommend them whole-hardheartedly. i have been with philosophy to launch all three of these stellar items and they continue to be our top selling and most replenished items in our skincare category. i recommend them to viewers daily and get great feedback once people try them. 

this is the age i probably used the word "epidermis".  i did not have a clue that helping people with their skin would be some of my life's most meaningful work. 

i want to break down this multi-tasking microdelivery peel and miracle moisturizers for you. they can be purchased separately of course but the advantage of QVC and the Today’s Special Value  is to offer best sellers matched together for fantastic results at a tremendous value. simply put, this kit is for people who want to help improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. the am/pm miracle worker creams applied daily and the weekly microdelivery brightening peel pads are my top recommendations and are my go-to for just that. 

i turned 50 this year and am very happy with the skin i have all thanks to philosophy. i have to spend very little time concealing my skin and can really let it show. in this photo i was dressed for the holiday.  i have to wear very little foundation and concealer. it feels good. i was not born with this skin, philosophy helped create this skin for me to love. in fact, this night when i took this photo i was waiting for my husband to get ready. i do not have to spend extra time to put on extra concealers an foundations to hide my skin. i can thank philosophy skincare for that. 

if you’re asking, should i use a peel?

in a word, yes. if you want to see the look of smoother, brighter skin and help improve the appearance of overall photodamage you should try a peel. to create that see-through bright philosophy skin, this peel is a star. it combines a triple acid combination and could not be easier.  it takes seconds.

most people who are over the age of 40 really start to notice photodamage with their skin. the damage has been done, this is true, and we can't go back in time but we can help make improvements in the overall look and homogenizing of the skin by using this peel. you use it once a week and it takes seconds. if you are like me and grew up in a time where spf was not a daily protocol then i would bet you are seeing signs of photodamage on the skin. if you have ever been in the sun to get a tan on purpose, or by accident, you are probably seeing signs of photodamage. this handy little weekly peel is a tried and true way to help achieve a youthful appearance. it also helps to improve the look of fine lines. not only have i used it since its inception, but so has my family and so has my friend program host Jill Bauer.

bonus tip: i use the md brightening peel pad on the tops of my hands. works like a charm!

one of my very good friends, and program host at qvc, jill bauer, also uses this peel. i show this photo of us to show how different our skins types are and that we both benefit from the microdelivery brightening peel. 

how about the moisturizers? if you’re thinking, “do i need them as well?”, let me tell you why you do.

philosophy, as a skincare company, does a very good job and providing you with combination products. why is that important? it is simple, when you invest in a skincare routine we don't intend for you to layer the same ingredients over and over. our goal is to give you multi-tasking miracle workers that can give you great looking skin. and at philosophy, we know that what that means for your day cream is different than your night cream.

start your day with miracle worker moisturizer. this has been a favorite of mine since its launch. this is a moisturizer to fall in love with. it is perfect for anyone who would like to help improve the appearance of wrinkles. it boasts the highest level of anti-oxidants and vitamin c in our line of moisturizers and feels like silk on the skin. skin is comfortable and looks supple when using this product. one secret that i love to share about this is the fact that if you do wear foundation you can skip your primer. miracle worker continues to be our top selling line of anti-aging products on qvc, thanks to you. it is a unique and special formula that can carry the name "miracle worker" on its label. 

now for the night cream. miracle worker overnight will do its best work at night. this cream is formulated with marine algae extracts, a unique peptide comple,  hydrators, and vitamin c. i love that in a consumer perception study the majority of subjects that took our new product home to try said they felt silky soft, deeply hydrated and renewed in just one night- all good news if you ask me. 

using the microdelivery peel weekly and the miracle worker moisturizers is the winning trifecta for your skin.

i love to keep an open dialogue about everything philosophy on my facebook page. i would love it if you would join in the conversation at Dara Lynn Philosophy QVC.

see you very soon!
