I realised today that I haven't posted on this blog for over a year. The skincare products I was using at the time have long since been used up, and several experiments have come and gone since.
At the moment I am trying Lancome's "Visionnaire", which claims to do everything except cure cancer and solve the Eurozone debt crisis. (If the truth be told it has exacerbated my own personal debt crisis, if anything). It contains a molecule called Jasmonic acid, a plant -derived compound which signals cellular renewal. They have essentially folded this molecule to make it small enough to penetrate to the dermis of human skin. I must admit I can't in all honesty believe this will work but I am giving it a try because at the end of the day the desire for a beauty miracle is stronger than all my logical impulses.
Initially I felt quite a reaction to the product. My skin heated up quite a bit, and I have resorted to using it around my eyes and on my T-zone only, avoiding the cheeks which are a disastrous mess of telangectasia and just too sensitive for this product. Since it seems to cause some sort of swelling of the dermis, it may do something to even out pore size and tackle fine lines, which are my main concerns anyway.
Time will tell......
