at 6 yrs of
skincare testing

I'm 50 & this holistic routine has reduced my wrinkles and lightened dark spots more than any "medical grade" skincare ever has and I've been testing skincare for 7+ yrs!

My Anti-Wrinkle Routine

 

1. Castor Oil + Prickly Pear Overnight
Slathering this all over my face and neck overnight is my go-to for wrinkles, dull and dry looking skin.

 

If I was stranded on a desert island and could only pick ONE product to use forever - it would be this one. 

Apply this all over your face and neck before bed - let it absorb all night and wake up to plumper, GLOWING skin. 😊

You'll see improvement with this IMMEDIATELY - especially after the first overnight use.
 

Castor oil with prickly pear oil for wrinkles and crepey skin, is unbeatable. I live and die by this one and the results keep getting better over time. 

It works like GANGBUSTERS.

Castor oil is the holy grail of holistic anti-aging and it's SUPERCHARGED when paired with prickly pear oil. 

HOT TIP:

Not all castor oils are created equal. Many castor oils on the market are processed with chemicals that can actually make your skin worse. 

Be careful with this. Make sure any castor oil you use is:
 - hexane free
 - organic
 - cold pressed
 - minimally processed

(see the castor oil I use)
 

2. Bakuchiol + Astaxanthin Oil For Cell Renewal
 

I apply this one either in the morning or underneath the castor oil before bed.

It stimulates cell turnover and cell renewal in the deeper layers of the skin (replacing old, damaged skin cells with new ones).

Better cell turnover leads to younger looking skin - better skin texture, reduced wrinkles and brighter looking skin.

I've seen firmer skin, better texture, softened fine lines and lightened dark spots since I started using it regularly.

 

This is a natural retinol alternative with the cell turnover benefit of retinol, but without the redness, peeling and irritation that comes with it.

The astaxanthin in it is estimated to be about 6000x stronger than Vitamin C which is GREAT for dark spots.

(see the bakuchiol + astaxanthin I use)


 

3. A PHA Peel

I use a PHA Peel to dissolve dead skin cells on the surface. It's a gentle exfoliator and helps products absorb better.


It also can gradually lighten dark spots over time and help even out skin texture.

This Wrinkle Bundle gives you the Castor Oil with Prickly Pear, Anti-Aging Oil (bakuchiol + astaxanthin), a 10% PHA Peel (starter strength) at a discounted price so that you're basically getting the PHA Peel exfoliator for almost free.

This bundle lasts about 2-3 months. You'll see some early results, especially with the Castor Oil + Prickly Pear, but, like I said - the best results come over time.


Another good place to start is with the Sample Set. It comes with the Castor Oil with Prickly Pear, Anti-Aging Oil (bakuchiol + astaxanthin), a 10% PHA Peel (starter strength) and a tallow sample (great for daytime moisture).

This set lasts about 7 days or so, depending on how fast you go through the product. It's an inexpensive way to get started. Most people who try the sample set either jump up to the full sized set or pick out 2-3 of their favorites from it.

This set lets you test the product on your skin and see some of the initial results.

The sample set lasts about 7-10 days
