Lumixyl Topical Brightening System Review & Giveaway!

Even at age 24, I see some spots on my face.  I am worried to know what it may look like 20 years from now.  Luckily there are lots of great products out there to help with spots and discoloration of the skin.  Lumixyl Brightening System is one such product!  Consistent use over 8 weeks shows a difference in the appearance of your skin!

This skin system is a refreshing way to brighten your skin!  The easy to follow regimen uses day and night time routines to work together to brighten the appearance of your skin.  There are 4 parts: Step 1 is the Active Prep cleanser, which you use both night and day.  Next is Step 2, the Topical Brightening Cream,also used both night and day.  Then Step 3 is the GlycoPeel 20.  The GlycoPeel  is alternated, depending on the level of discoloration of your skin.  You may need it only once a day, a few days a week, all the way to twice a day daily.   And finally, for the daytime routine, you use Step 4, the Moisturelock Sunscreen Spf 30.  The products smell great, especially the GlycoPeel. 

From Lumixyl.net:

The LUMIXYL Brightening System is a revolutionary multi-faceted system that dramatically improves the appearance of hyperpigmentation tolerably and without the side effects associated with prescription Hydroquinone or retinoids.
This professional skincare system builds on the success of the Lumixyl Topical Brightening Crème introduced in 2009.
An innovation in skin brightening technology, the four products in the Lumixyl Brightening System work synergistically to target existing hyperpigmentation and to prevent its recurrence. For most patients these formulations can eliminate the need to use hydroquinone or its bi-products, which are controversial due to their potential side effects. Lumixyl products are proven to be powerful but gentle on skin.
The 4 step system offers a complete approach to brightening that is sustainable, effective and more tolerable than competitive brightening systems that contain hydroquinone. The Lumixyl Topical Brightening System builds on the four products including Active-Prep Cleanser, the Topical Brightening Creme, GlycoPeel 20 Rapid Exfoliating Lotion, and Moisture-Lock Sunscreen SPF 30. The products are ideal for all skin types.

Dr. Dennis Gross Facial Treatment Review and Giveaway!!

Every woman wants to look and feel beautiful! But sometimes the stress of the day and toxins get in the way of that. The EZ4U 2 GO Facial Treatment wipes from Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare (or DGSkincare) are perfect for getting rid of the bad stuff and leaves you feeling refreshed!! They come in a box of 30 wipes for $35

Formerly MD Skincare, DG Skincare is a company dedicated to quality skin care. It's the largest organ of the body, so of course we need to take care of it!! Here is a little about Dr. Gross and DG Skincare from their About us page:

How Did a Skin Cancer Researcher End Up In the Beauty Business?

"With the right skincare products, you can achieve at home – what it once took a visit to a dermatologist to accomplish."

Dr. Dennis Gross, Manhattan dermatologist, has devoted his life to the science of skincare. Skin, the largest organ of the body, is the first to show signs of both external and internal health. The quality and scope of his education and research inspired a passion within to fight the deadly epidemic of skin cancer. During his early years as a dermatologist, Dr. Gross would spend hours “in the field” conducting free skin cancer screenings in and around New York City, educating the public about this life-threatening disease. In addition to disease prevention, Dr. Gross also saw a need to reverse sun damage, the number one cause of aging and wrinkles. He immediately began educating his patients about the importance of sun protection – not only for melanoma prevention, but as a beauty treatment. Within a few short years, he became one of the most respected and sought-after dermatologists in the country.

In his private practice, Dr. Gross witnessed his patients’ quest for beauty and their dissatisfaction with the scope of beauty treatments available to address everything from aging to acne. With chemical peels becoming increasingly popular, he observed a phenomenon he describes as “over-exfoliation.” These peels produced chronic inflammation and sabotaged the beauty and health of his patients’ skin. Determined to improve upon these harsh and ineffective treatments, he formulated the Alpha Beta® Daily Face Peel originally created as a treatment for use on his patients.

"The results were so profound that I knew I had something radically better than what was out there," Gross said.

The Alpha Beta® Professional System was soon formulated for estheticians to administer in a spa setting nationwide. Simultaneously, Gross formulated the Alpha Beta® Daily Face Peel for everyday, at-home use. Now wildly popular, this non-irritating, microexfoliating™ treatment eliminates dullness, fights aging, treats breakouts, shrinks pores and calms redness (just to name a few). The synergy between the professional version found in spas and the at-home version, purchased to maintain skin between professional treatments, delivers immediate, visible firming and enhanced radiance.

Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare™ (formerly MD Skincare® by Dr. Dennis Gross) was established in 2002 as a line of multi-tasking products that help skin meet its most beautiful potential – providing dramatic results within days and a long-term transformation with continued use. Inspired by his loyal following, Dr. Gross formulates every product himself, combining a blend of the best natural antioxidants, vitamins and botanicals with the most scientifically advanced delivery systems.

Whether it's satisfying patients’ requests for clinical-strength products or discovering the next big skincare trend, Gross stays true to what Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare™ is all about, "With the right skincare products, you can achieve at home – what it once took a visit to a dermatologist to accomplish," Gross said.

"You can't visit a dermatologist every day but you can use the same formulations I use."

I love the facial wipes because they leave me feeling fresh and clean at any time! They are the perfect size to take anywhere: work, the gym, or for a night out!! It also left my face feeling a little firmer and soft! I didn't need moisturizer like usual!! If using to remove makeup at night, you will need more than one wipe. They are really more for a quick clean, not for end of the day washing. However you could if needed. The cloths are small and that is why they aren't ideal for use to remove alot of makeup. But like I said they are great for a quick job when you're feeling greasy or icky!

Purchase the wipes here: In a pack of 7 for $10 or In a pack of 30 for $35
