In 2 months, I will be turning 28 years old. It’s difficult for me to say, think, or write that without flinching, but I am slowly coming to terms with it. Yes, I do realize that 28 is still quite young, but the hardest part about the aging process if noticing the changes in my skin; specifically, my face, and the subtle but still obvious (to me, anyway) differences that have been appearing over the last few years. All the days spent baking in the sun and under the UV bulbs in the tanning bed are slowly but surely starting to show themselves, and I can’t say I don’t regret taking better care of my skin and implementing a skincare regimen earlier.

These days, however, I’ve turned into a full-blown skincare junkie. I believe it’s never too early to start taking care of your skin and finding a regimen that works for you, so that is exactly what I’ve done over the last few years, tweaking it as I find new problem areas I want to address. After reading about Juice Beauty a few years ago and the rave reviews from devoted users, I couldn’t resist trying some out for myself and seeing if they were worth the hype. I already love their Green Apple Brightening Gel Cleanser, but since I’m now focused on finding new anti-aging products, I stumbled upon their Stem Cellular Anti-Wrinkle Collection and decided to give it a go.

Starting with a fresh, cleansed face, I applied the Anti-Wrinkle Booster Serum, seen below. The label says to apply generously, however I usually like to only apply 2 or 3 pumps whenever I use a serum as they can tend to get sticky if you use too much. After pumping out the product, I noticed it had a gel-like consistency, yet was still firm where it didn’t immediately start breaking up and running down my hand. I applied it carefully in circular motions to my entire face and neck area (we sometimes forget how important it is to apply skincare products to our neck, since this is one of the main areas that show signs of aging the most!), and let it sink in for a minute. I loved that it did not leave a sticky residue or film on my face, rather it left my skin feeling smooth and firm.

Next up was the Anti-Wrinkle Moisturizer, the second step in the Stem-Cellular collection process. It smelled absolutely divine, with just a hint of green apple that wasn’t too overpowering where it would turn you off from future use. It was a bit thicker than I was expecting, but I didn’t mind it since I knew I wasn’t going to be out in the heat all day. I used about a quarter sized amount (maybe more, I tend to go overboard with moisturizer) and applied it gently in the same circular motion on my forehead, t-zone, cheek and neck area. Again, it was not sticky, which is a huge plus for me, and it seemed to sink into my skin right away.

Last but not least, the most important step in the whole process: the Anti-Wrinkle Eye Treatment. I’ll admit I’ve only started using an eye cream within the past 2 years, but I would never go without one ever again. This was definitely my favorite product of the 3 just based on the applicator alone. Instead of dispensing the product on to your fingers and applying it, the appropriately shaped nozzle is designed to dispense the product right underneath the eye area. You are then instructed to use the nozzle as a sort of ‘massager’, starting with the inner corner and working your way out and up to the brow bone. The treatment had a gel consistency, and provided an instant cooling relief once it was dispensed. I noticed a slight tingling sensation as I was massaged the product around my eyes, but I actually enjoyed it as part of the process. I then carefully tapped the excess product into my skin using my ring finger, and took a peek in the mirror to see the result.

As you can see, I was left with glowing, fresh looking skin. I have to say, I am truly impressed with the quality of these products, and I will definitely continue to use them to see what kind of results I get long term.
