Striking Skin Care review & giveaway

~ CLOSED ~

Raise your hand if you don’t care about skin care or the quality of the skin on your face! Raise your hand if you don’t care whether you get wrinkles while you age? Yea, I didn’t think so. None of you are raising your hand, right? Well, I for one care about the quality, look AND feel of my skin and I don’t want to age quickly. I want to age gracefully.

I’ve been lucky so far, at the age of 38, to have a wrinkle-free face. Should I knock on wood now? And now that I’ve said that, I hope I don’t wake up tomorrow with a few fine lines. Actually I don’t think I will because in the past few weeks I’ve been using some wonderful, high quality products I’m about to tell you about. I think you’re gonna like them. They were made by a skin care company called Helix BioMedix. You may have already heard about them.

Helix BioMedix brings breakthrough solutions for specific skin care needs to help women discover healthier looking skin. They take a specialty approach, understanding the effects of hormonal aging and lifestyle factors on skin and they’re developing products to optimally meet the needs of specific skin characteristics. They also understand what makes your skin special and are dedicated to formulating products that deliver the fullest benefits of their advanced technologies.

Helix BioMedix sent me 3 of their Striking Skin Care products (valued at $142) to try out. They consist of:

Striking Multi-Peptide Serum 1.13 ounce bottle – ($65)
Striking Reguvenating Eye Cream 0.5 ounce jar – ($35)
Striking Restorative Moisture Cream 1 ounce jar – ($42)

Striking is different from any other skin care products that are on the market because they contain several of Helix BioMedix’s proprietary peptides, known as SmartPeptides™ (listed in the ingredients as Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-14, Heptapeptide-7, Hexapeptide-21). These peptides have been shown to stimulate collagen and increase fibroblast proliferation to build up the extra-cellular matrix.

In simple terms – it makes your skin look and feel firmer. Now there are a few products in the marketplace that contain these peptides in a few different lines, but Striking is the only line where you get three of Helix’s SmartPeptides working synergistically to make your skin look amazing. I know you ladies want to look your best!

Striking Skin Care products are free of parabens, fragrance, artificial colors, pore-clogging ingredients and formaldehyde-releasing ingredients.

The Multi-Peptide Serum is fast absorbing and provides hydration for soft and supple skin that’s begging to be touched. Humectins provide moisture to protect dehydrated skin. 2 SmartPeptides are added to target against the signs of aging. This product makes fine lines and wrinkles less noticeable and it has made my skin feel firmer and look more radiant.

The ultra-moisturizing Eye Cream hydrates the delicate skin around your eyes. And it also helps minimize puffiness and dark circles. The SmartPeptides target the signs of aging and my skin looks more resilient. I don’t look tired all of the time now. Love that!

Although I have pretty oily skin on my face I tried the Restorative Moisture Cream anyway because it contains age-fighting vitamins like Vitamins C & E that neutralize the nasty free radicals that cause aging in your skin. It also contains green tea which calms your skin and provides antioxidant protection. I couldn’t pass that up. This cream targets fine lines, wrinkles and loss of firmness by stimulating collagen production. Who wants to look like a basset hound anyway?

Whether you’ve diligently taken care of your skin all along or have ignored it up until now, Striking Skin Care with SmartPeptides can help nuture, protect and revitalize your complexion. These simple, yet effective products are a result of years of scientific research. Helix BioMedix specializes in dermatology and consumers skin health products. They strive to be the world leader in the identification, qualification and commercialization of natural and synthetic peptides.

All of these products have been Dermatologist tested.

Now’s your chance to wake up to better skin because Helix BioMedix is giving one of you the opportunity to try out these products yourself.
