You might remember that I wrote about the POND's Age Miracle products a few weeks ago, and how I would be using them as part of the #BeautifulHabits campaign.
According to POND'S, you can look up to 10 years younger with their Age Miracle products, and their science and research say that their range will show visibly reduced lines and wrinkles in two weeks.
Well, 3.5 weeks later and I can safely say I don't look 30, though I'm often told I don't look 40, so there's a good start. But, while I might not have had 10 years shaved off my face, I truly feel glowing, and it has nothing to do with pregnancy, because it's a very recent feeling, and I'm 31 weeks' pregnant.
Aside from the glow, I felt confident that my skin could dare to go bare. I mentioned in my POND'S giveaway post that I was also venturing out without makeup, something I seldom do unless it's to gym or running. Two weeks ago, I was in PE and the Garden Route for a few days, and I didn't wear makeup once, and I didn't hate what I saw in my selfies either, which is a small miracle.
Here are two pics taken, without makeup or filters, before I started using POND'S, and 3.5 weeks after.
I'd also mentioned that I was enjoying using the products – usually I stop diligtently and regulary after a week. This is because a) I get despondent after not seeing all my blemishes and pigmentation gone (unrealistic, I know), and b) sometimes it's a bit of a shlep applying stuff, though I'm sure if I enjoyed the texture, smell and result more, I wouldn't perceive it as a "shlep".
This time though, I loved using the day cream, night cream and serum, and I don't think I missed a morning or night's application. The texture and smell are lovely, and the products easily absorbed into my 40-year-old face.
The month is almost over, but I will most probably carry on using it, plus some others in the range too. At around R132 per product, it's an affordable way to put my best face forward, and to see what works for me, and what doesn't.
Here's what you can expect in the Age Miracle range:
Cell ReGen Facial Foam
