Top Skincare Finds from Merle Norman #MerleNorman #Partner

I have a small confession to make: I turned 40 this summer. 

40. ~Gulps~

​Is this the beginning of the end? Or maybe the best has just begun....Either way, I'd be lying if I said that the number itself didn't give me a little bit of anxiety.

If I listen to Hollywood, my youth is (supposedly) gone, and it's time to get serious about taking care of myself. I'm not getting any younger, so things like a healthy, balanced diet, proper amounts of sleep, hydration, and good skin care are more important now than ever before. 

Speaking of good skincare, I was super stoked to try some great products from the trusted skin care experts at Merle Norman. These folks have been in the game for a long time. I think I even remember seeing their Studios back in my teenage Mallrat Days in the Washington, DC/Northern VA area. So when I recently got the chance to try their Skintelligent skin care line? I couldn't wait! I'd love to tell you more about a few of my favorites, so keep reading. 

Feed your face a “smart” system featuring products that work in harmony with the skin’s natural process for optimum balance. That's what Merle Norman's Skintelligent system is all about! These products work together to help you always put your best face forward! 

The first step to the Skintelligent system is this comfortable exfoliating gel cleanser that revitalizes lackluster skin and improves texture. Natural seeds gently buff away dead skin cells to ensure skin is in optimum condition for receiving key ingredients, like probiotics. Encapsulated beads deliver Vitamin A, C and E to reveal fresher, younger-looking skin.

Next, we have the Skintelligent Toner. This toner protects against environmental stressors with probiotic technology. Extracts of Alpine Willowherb and Ginseng energize, hydrate and help tighten skin while reducing the appearance of pores. Together these ingredients leave skin refreshed and help absorption of serums and moisturizers.

Next, it's time to moisturize!

This lightweight moisturizer helps keep skin hydrated while protecting against environmental stressors with probiotic technology. Innovative Elixir-IRTM and Resveratrol help improve elasticity and texture. Together these ingredients protect and replenish skin’s moisture barrier leaving it calm and soothed.

Don't forget the eyes, please!

Skintelligent Eye Moisturizer hydrates and protects with Probiotic Technology that supports skin's natural process of shedding dead skin, revealing fresher, younger-looking skin. Eyeseryl® Peptide helps reduce eye puffiness and dark circles while super humectants and emollients help tone and plump wrinkles for a smoother eye area. Contoured metal tip applicator massages skin promoting healthy absorption and circulation.

Overall, I am absolutely loving these products from Merle Norman. I have found they leave my skin feeling soft, smooth, and firm. My face is bright and healthy looking, and the appearance of fine lines is definitely softened some, thanks to these moisturizing products. The Skintelligent skin care line nourishes the skin wonderfully, while remaining super gentle. I would definitely recommend these products to anyone looking for an effective way to help combat those first signs of aging.
