Wow Factor!!
By Dahlia Acevedo

I was very pleasantly surprised how my skin looked immediately younger, brighter and tighter when I put this lotion on my face. THAT IS OF COURSE, in combination with my other go to anti-aging lotion, Ponds Rejuveness (anti-wrinkle cream). I had tried two other vitamin C lotions in the recent past:, the last being "Jason  C Effects" (nice firming lotion but too strong of a smell).  After three weeks of use I didn't notice too much of a difference in my skin's condition. However, it did absorb nicely into the skin, but was a little too thick for my liking. Other reasons to use Tru Skin vitamin C lotion: Your skin stays smooth looking all day, no unpleasant smell and inexpensive price, $15.00 for 2oz. I had found a dollar off coupon purchasing through Amazon. 

I highly recommend you use a product specifically made to target under eye bags first, and then apply the vitamin C lotion once it dries. Elf Illuminating Eye Cream and under eye roller are excellent products. I have also found that my vitamin A Retinyl Palmitate gel (wrinkle treatment gel with vitamin E), works wonders in immediately deflating bags and firming the area. 

If you have not read any of the research on the benefits of using a vitamin C lotion on your face, preferably one containing Vitamin B, then allow me to inform you. Vitamin C plus B lotion helps to even out skin tone, give your skin a fabulous glow, smooth the skin, eliminate blemishes and acne scars, tighten sagging skin, diminish the look of wrinkles, lessen the appearance of sun spots, and help makeup to go on smoother. 

I have yet to find a good vitamin C lotion for my aging looking  hands. But when I do I will definitely share out. Jason C Effects works well on the hands. I noticed mine looked younger. HOWEVER, it is more expensive and you have to use too much of it to get the desired affect.

  1. Thanks for the info on TruSkun product. Is this available at my local drugstore or only on-line? I didn’t know about the effects of lotion with Vitamin C & B. I found your blog illuminating. I will have to check out TruSkun moisturizer the next chance I get :)

  2. As far as I can tell Truskin vitamin C lotion is only sold online. The cheapest sellers being Amazon and Ebay. I wish someone would have shared the benefits of vitamin C lotion with me, even two years ago, when the skin on my face started sagging. Better late than never right ��. I dont believe in plastic surgery sooo..

    Thank you so much for dropping by!

    1. I actually love the TruSkin vitamin C lotion. I began ALSO using it at night, mixed with my other Ponds lotion, and have seen some good improvement. It's been about two weeks in and the skin directly under my chin is a lot firmer. I can almost see one clear jaw line all the way across, instead of that sagging area towards the front. I am actually looking to try a retinal based lotion at night. I will purchase one soon. I don't like the lines in my forehead.

Hiking Among the Beautiful Wild Flowers in Malibu

Getting out in nature is good for the soul, to unplug and get away from it all for a few hours. As you know contributes to peace of mind and emotional well being. What could be better than hiking by the ocean with it's spectacular views, light ocean breeze and fresh air. Located off PCH Highway, both hiking spots are within a couple blocks of each other, and very easy to find.  Malibu Bluffs Park: One of my all time favorite places to go. Is always a pleasure, especially during the spring time. I have fond memories of taking my son there as a kid, picnicking and flying kites. There are two cool playgrounds, a sand pit and a zip line area.The place has changed a lot since I've been there last (about a year ago). They have cleared away brush from the walking path around the grass, allowing for additional views of the ocean and homes on the hillsides (which are fabulously covered in yellow wild flowers at the moment). To my absolute delight, they have created a clearly marke

Discover the Picturesque Longridge Park Hiking Trail (Sherman Oaks, CA)

Me and the hubs out to discover new hiking trails in the San Fernando Valley, hit up Dixie Canyon Park first, in Sherman Oaks. First of all, Park??? There is a clearly marked trail that leads to, well, nowhere. At a certain point, after hiking about ten minutes, the trail (?) becomes WAY too narrow and dangerous with loose gravel and mud pockets. We had to turn around and head back the way we came. This is a charming little spot if you live in the direct vicinity of the "Park". It is very green and shaded over. On the plus side, the drive up is VERY pretty. Dixie Canyon is tucked into the hills of a picturesque, upper class neighborhood, full of McMansions, and all around beautiful homes of varying architecture. After Dixie Canyon I wasn't ready to go home. So, I chose for us to visit Longridge Park (?)  Longridge Park Trailhead is located up in the hills of Sherman Oaks, at the end of a lovely residential street. Again, the drive up was spectacular, through a fairy tale

Absolutely Magical butterfly Den Discovery! In Lake Balboa!

So, the butterflies have emerged once again now that the weather has warmed quite a bit. They are everywhere, BUT I have discovered the mother of all butterflies dens. A truely magical place hidden away from the main paths. While out for a bike ride today I decided to take a semi-dirt path, almost completely hidden off the main street. I had accidentally stumbled across it before, but hadn't the time to explore it. Today upen entering the bike path, off Burbank Blvd, I was completely taken aback by the sheer amount of butterflies, seemingly attracted to the bright yellow wild flowers growing along both sides of the path. I stopped for quite a long while to video tape them, but upon viewing the footage, I realized it does not compare / do the place justice. I hopped back on my bike and rode a little further, which is when I saw a closed off (barred) path to my right, with a small opening, large enough to walk a bike through. This hidden jem of a path contained even more
