Do any of you guys ever use hot rollers? I remember growing up and thinking that I couldn’t wait to get big enough to use those things. And then when I *did* get older and try to use them, because I hadn’t had any practice, I constantly was burning myself or something, so I gave’em up.
Well, now that I am more “mature”, I don’t hurt myself anymore when I use them. But, I don’t always use them very well. I’m from the middle of the country where the motto is generally “The higher the hair, the closer to God”, meaning, we like our big hair. Now, I can get big poofy curls with the rollers, but it isn’t always “styled” right.
Anyway, when I was watching the BlogHer hair videos, I came across this hot rollers tutorial that I thought might help me figure out what I was doing incorrectly.

The temps are finally warming up, so you know what that means – pretty Spring outfits. You know what doesn’t look good with a bright yellow dress? Pale, pasty skin! Which would explain why I have avoided wearing one in the past – it never looked good on me.
Well, this year it is going to be different! Thanks to the Jergens Natural Glow line I am working on getting some color on these gams of mine so I can rock the halter dress over there. (*Nothing like having another reason to hit up Tar-jay, right?).

So here we are at the end of my 90-day supply of the Imedeen® Time Perfection anti-aging supplements, and I wanted to recap what I felt my results were after all of this.
One thing about me is that I have a hard time sticking with anything long term – it’s just not in my nature, esp with the amount of stuff that I try on a routine basis. However, this was really easy to add into my nightly routine. But, there was a bit in February when I forgot to put a new sleeve of the vitamins on my nightstand and forgot to take them. After some days, I noticed that my skin was looking a bit sallow and was soaking up more moisturizer than it had been recently. I couldn’t figure out what it was until I realized that I hadn’t been taking my Imedeen® at night. I got back on the anti-aging tablets and within a few days my skin was back to being more supple and softer, so I definitely feel that those were related.
Another thing that I have noticed while taking these is that the redness in my skin has decreased. Now, I know that Rosacea is partially the dilation of blood vessels in the dermis layer of skin. And, since Imedeen® works in the dermal layer of the skin to strengthen and improve the skin’s invisible building blocks of collagen and elastin, I feel like that it may have worked to help reduce the inflammation and appearance of redness on my face. I took this pic, bare-faced in the morning sun, first thing this morning so you could see what I am talking about.
I also know that my skin all over feels flat out softer and smoother. Usually this time of year, with the wild temperature changes because Oklahoma doesn’t know if it is still Winter or Spring yet, I am usually drier and itchier. This year, I haven’t been as dependent on the lotion bottles to help me cope – it just hasn’t been as needed. I think that shows that the Imedeen® Time Perfection works on, and in, the whole body and not just a facial product, like so many moisturizers.
