I’ve been here before! One of my least favorite things to do, is look in the mirror upon waking. While some of you wake to porcelain skin with a rosy complexion, I wake to over 57 years of too little too late. Back in the 70’s the closest thing that came to sunscreen was baby oil and iodine, and my skin shows it. Add to that the hereditary dark circles, bags from having way too much fun, and a dire need for some plumping and it’s downright depressing.
That doesn’t mean that I’ve given up. As you know, I no longer leave the mansion without dipping into a vat of spf, and I’m doing everything that I can to start taking care of my skin now (Dr. Pozner removed quite a few sun spots the last time I visited him).
This month I’ll be using the Meaningful Beauty collection by Cindy Crawford and Dr. Sebagh (oh, to have her skin, oh, to have her body, oh, to have her…). I’ve used their Crème de Serum before. With one simple pump the glear gel, orange swirl and white swirl in each bottle are instantly blended together to provide the benefit of all three products in one:
- Orange Swirl – formulated to help provide protection with a super-antioxidant called superoxide dismutase (SOD) from a rare French melon (a hero ingredient seen throughout the brand’s most effective products)
- White Swirl – contains anti-aging peptides designed to help to minimize the appearance of fine lines and deeper wrinkles
- Clear Gel – includes hyaluronic acid which helps hold in moisture for a fresh, dewy look
Believe it or not, I’m most excited to try the Skin Softening Cleanser. Most of the cleansers that I’ve tried have ingredients that dry out my skin, making it that much more difficult to keep moisturized. Since I tend to be GREAT in the morning with a full-on skin care routine, and slack before going to bed (I’m lucky if my face gets washed and moisturized), I figure that just forcing myself into a PM routine should help.
The Meaningful Beauty Kit is made up of 5 simple steps (plus it has 2 bonus products):
- Skin Softening Cleanser
- Antioxidant Day Crème SPF 20 UVA/UVB
- Crème de Serum
- Lifting Eye Crème – Advanced Formula
- Skin Brightening Décolleté and Neck Treatment SPF 15
- Glycolic Treatment Pads
- Glowing Serum
Collagen keeps skin healthy, youthful and resilient. Unfortunately, as we age, we begin to produce free radicals, which can break down collagen. Add sun exposure and other harsh environmental factors to the mix, and you have the perfect recipe for wrinkles, fine lines and visible skin damage.
Fortunately, there’s Meaningful Beauty. In a clinical study – within 6-weeks:
- 85% of participants reported their skin visibly improved.
- 91% of participants noticed an overall improvement in the healthier appearance of their skin.
- 76% of participants noticed a decrease in skin dullness and dryness.
- 85% of participants would recommend the product to a friend.
- 100% of participants reported no irritation.
I wrote this review while participating in a test drive campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf Meaningful Beauty and received a 5-step treatment kit to facilitate my review, a second 5-step treatment kit to giveaway, and a promotional item to thank me for taking the time to participate.

Baby oil and iodine… oh, I remember that combination. I’m anxious to read how these products work for you too. I’ve not been the most careful person with my skin either.

Since my mom was in high school in the 70s, she was well versed in baby oil and iodine. So, naturally, she bestowed that knowledge upon me in high school in the 90’s. Worst tip my mom ever gave me.

I can’t wait to hear how it works!

company ideas however regrettably; not every person could see such possibilities.
