when our philosophy february today’s special value was revealed to me last year, my first response was one of both recognition and delight:  “ i can’t wait to share this because this is exactly what i use.”  it’s true.  the products in this trio are what i depend on, both individually and as an anti-aging collection, to give my skin an appearance of vitality and a radiance that is even beyond my own admittedly high expectations.

with each passing year, as a “woman of a certain age”,  i have become even more diligent about establishing good habits, for my mind, body and spirit, with practices that will enhance my overall health and well-being.  while i accept growing older, and recognize that there are many gifts that age and experience bestow,  i also want to do everything i can to look and feel my best. 

i want to be as healthy as possible for many reasons. The four most important ones are in this photograph.

at the same time, i’m honored when my  friends (and even acquaintances) come to me for skin care advice.  it is especially common for women in their 40’s and 50’ to seek me out.  they are the first  to admit to me that they are noticing surprising changes in their skin usually associated with the more advanced signs of aging.  without fail, the three items in this tsv are the ones that  i recommend to them consistently.

our philosophy supersize am/pm moisturize and peel trio are what i use and recommend to my friends who, like me, have more advanced anti-aging concerns and needs.

when i hear friends say that  they wish their skin were brighter and more even in tone and texture, i always recommend my favorite thirty second once-a-week  microdelivery triple acid brightening peel.   i have given these as birthday gifts when friends have a “big” birthday and i am happy to report that there has not been one person who hasn’t loved the results they see, even upon  first use, when they look in their  magnifying mirror..  for me, this one simple little product is my ticket to makeup optional skin. my skin has gotten better and better in my 50’s (and i’m four years into the decade now) than it was in my early 40’s.  if you want to reveal your skin’s inner light, our microdelivery triple acid brightening peel is for you!  it’s a once a week thirty second investment  if only this little investment yielded the same results with diet or exercise…a girl can dream.

paying attention to my diet and exercise is part of a healthy  anti-aging lifestyle too. i have to work a lot harder to even get a fraction of the results that i see with my philosophy skin care.

recently, i had breakfast with a good friend who has known me for decades.  at one point, the bright arizona sun shone on my face and she stopped and stared at me mid-conversation and complimented me on how fantastic my skin looks.:  i quickly told her that i only use philosophy topical skin care treatments and that my wrinkle fighter was my am/pm “one two punch” duo, miracle worker miraculous anti-wrinkle moisturizer (during the day) and its partner that works the “night shift” on my skin, our miracle worker overnight age-resetting anti-wrinkle moisturizer. 

this isn’t the first time something like this has happened.  even though i have been in the beauty industry since my early twenties,  i have never registered as many compliments about my skin as i have in the last five years since i started with our original miracle worker moisturizer and then began to add the other two products in the collection as they were launched:  first the once a week peel and then adding the miracle worker night time moisturizer a couple of years ago.

if someone had told me in my thirties that my skin would look like it does now, twenty plus years later, i’m sure that i wouldn’t have believed them.  i love the fact that i can go makeup optional at any time  now when i would never have even considered passing up my foundation and concealer step even thirty years ago. 

in the photo on the left, i am in my 30's and even though i had good skin, was not comfortable to go makeup optional even casually at home.  in the photo on the right, i am in my late forties and completely makeup optional. i had been using philosophy's miracle worker moisturizer for about six months. i couldn't believe the difference in my skin.

as it turns out,  we don’t just “ believe in miracles” at philosophy, we actually create them, granting skin care wishes to people every day.   as we state on our miracle worker moisturizer philosophy: to witness a miracle is to know yourself:  vital, brilliant, heavenly in body and spirit.

i’m excited for you to experience your own skin makeover and can’t wait to hear about your results.  as we say at philosophy:  the world is a better place when you reveal your inner light. 

let your light brightly shine,

with grace and gratitude,
