![]() As a woman who recently turned 30, I have noticed that my skin looks and behaves a bit differently than it did in my teens and early 20's. It gets drier, faster, and it has lost some of its glow at times. Especially in the winter! The cold temperatures coupled with artificial indoor heat can be enough to make my body dry, itchy, and sometimes even cracked. (Ouch!) While I have been religious about a facial skincare regimen, one thing I have been overlooking is the skin on my body. Sure, I use lotions. But sometimes lotion isn't enough to combat those winter skin woes. That's why I was really intrigued by the anti-aging skincare products at Trinity of Youth. Not only is this beauty company based in my hometown of Cleveland, Ohio, TOY is the manufacturer of a fantastic body serum called BrilliantFX. This is not your ordinary body lotion, either. In fact, it's not lotion at all. BrilliantFX is a serum, which absorbs rapidly into the skin to achieve quick and visible improvement in the skin's feel and appearance. That's right! Say goodbye to tired, dried, cracking skin! What makes BrilliantFX so brilliant?At TOY, they use the healing power of Arnica Montana, and Lactic Acid, naturally occurring medicinal agents that have been used for thousands of years. Arnica contains the powerful secondary plant metabolite sesquiterpene lactones (SL) in its glandular hairs as its major pharmacologic agent. SLs have a wide array of therapeutic uses for inflammatory medical conditions. Cleopatra bathed in spoiled milk, or naturally derived Lactic Acid, to preserve her beauty. Lactic Acid is the most hydrating of the alpha-hydroxy acids –plumping and mildly exfoliating your skin. The folks at Trinity of Youth have made these ancient beauty secrets available to you in every bottle of BrilliantFx – because Cleopatra’s secrets should be yours… I was thrilled to receive BrilliantFX for my review. I am a big time beauty-junkie, and I had never heard of using Lactic Acid in body care. After doing some research on its benefits, I couldn't wait to try BrilliantFX! When it arrived, I took a long, hot bubble bath and then applied the serum. The first thing I noticed is the light, clean herbal scent. After all, BrilliantFX is made from a blend of Alpha-Hydroxy acid, Lactic Acid, and other herbal remedies. I also noted that just the smallest of amounts goes a very long way. Since this is a serum, it absorbs into the skin quite rapidly and requires less product to yield results. Within about 15 minutes after applying BrilliantFX, my skin was moisturized, soft, and even plumper in some areas! It has even alleviated dry, itchy skin around my elbows and ankles.I have been using this product for a couple of weeks now, and the results just keep getting better. It's almost like my parched skin craves this stuff! BrilliantFX is definitely on my must-have beauty products list now. Sure, we all worry about our faces, but our bodies need love, too! With BrilliantFX, you can give your skin a softness and glow that will be noticed...even in the dead of winter!

I learned that Cleopatra bathed in spoiled milk. Knew she bathed in milk, but had no idea she wanted the properties from it once it was spoiled.

I learned that Lactic Acid has great use as an exfoliant since it encourages the top layer of the epidermis to shed faster while preserving and moisturizing the new cells underneath.
