Youth Corridor Antioxidant Boost Skin Serum
Most people will be moving their clocks forward on March 14th, but if you’re noticing fine lines, wrinkles and dull, lackluster skin, it might be time to use the latest weapon in anti-aging and rewind the hands of time instead. This serum, seen in W, Allure, Harper’s Bazaar, People and more, is the newest ‘must have’ beauty treatment to get smoother and more radiant skin.
This serum was developed by Dr. Gerald Imber, an internationally recognized plastic surgeon. It delivers a powerful, concentrated dose of antioxidants and melatonin directly into the deeper layers of the skin where they can have the most impact. Vitamins C and E reduces past sun damage and increases collagen synthesis, leading to significant reduction in fine lines and wrinkles for smoother, firmer and tighter skin. Apply three drops to your face and neck before bedtime, and the skin-rejuvenating effects are noticeable within days.
The rules: The promotion is for a limited time. As you prepare for Daylight Saving Time on March 14th, simply visit www.YouthCorridor.com and save 25% on your purchase of the Antioxidant Boost Skin Serum by using the promo code “BOOST”. Online visitors will have one week to participate, so set your clocks to sign up for your discount!
How To: TendSkin & Aspirin Mask
Have you guys ever used TendSkin? It’s a skincare solution for men and women to treat razor bumps, ingrown hairs and razor burn. It’s also kinda expensive at $35 for 8 oz. But I make mine own at home–it’s really easy and super cheap. Here’s how:
Ingredients to Make TendSkin:
- Uncoated aspirin
- 70% alcohol
- Witch Hazel
- A measuring cup/bottle
- Two bottles used to shake mixtures
- One 8 oz or more bottle to keep finished product
How To:
- Pour 5.5 oz of 70% alcohol into one bottle.
- Drop 18 uncoated aspirins into the alcohol. Cap bottle and shake.
- Pour 2.5 oz of witch hazel into the second bottle.
- Drop 8 uncoated aspirins into the witch hazel. Cap bottle and shake.
- Wait (30 minutes to a whole day) for the aspirins to dissolve in the liquids. Shake periodically to help dissolve aspirin and mix. (Not all of the aspirin will dissolve. That’s OK.)
- Now combine both the alcohol and witch hazel mixtures together in one bottle. Make sure you shake both mixtures before you combine them so you get the aspirin residue into the new bottle. This is your TendSkin. Use 1-2 times a day. Reduce usage if you experience dryness, flaking or irritation. Make sure you shake well before each use. Do not use if you are allergic to aspirin.
How To: Aspirin Mask
You can also use aspirin to make a skin clearing mask. (I’m doing it right now!) All you need plain, uncoated aspirin. Take about 5-8 aspirin and place them in a small bowl. Drip a small amount of filtered water on the aspirin and allow them to sit. The aspirin will get soft and mushy and then you can mix it with a binding agent. Typically, I mix mine with another mask, like a tiny bit of Origins Out of Trouble and then add a little more water if it is too thick and apply. You can also mix it with pure honey, which is a good binding agent and will be a bit more moisturizing. Aspirin is an acid, so you shouldn’t use it every day, but it’s safe to use every three days or so. But it depends on your skin–for me, once a week is good. The salicylic acid, a beta hydroxy acid, that’s in aspirin works to slough off dead skin. It will unclog and clear pores and reduce production of oil, too.

Must Have: Jan Marini!
If anyone asks me for skincare line recommendation, I always say Jan Marini. I use other products from other lines, but at any given time I’m always using a bunch of Jan Marini stuff. The Bioglycolic Facial Cleanser, Jan Marini C-Esta Cleansing Gel & Bioglycolic Resurfacing Body Scrub, and Age Intervention Regeneration Mask (Love this & use it every week!) And right now I am sooo stuck on Jan Marini Bioglycolic Bioclear Lotion.
I’ve already reviewed Bioclear, so I won’t go into too much detail, but for some reason back then I used it for a while and then started using other things. But recently my skin started acting up–just more clogged pores and a generally flaky apparence. So I pulled out my bottle of Bioclear Lotion and started using it, sparingly, at night. My skin looks so much better! It has Glycolic and Salicylic Acid in it, so I think it’s exfoliating off all of the dead skin and leaving my skin more refreshed and resurfaced. My cloged pores are much better. I’m really loving this, so I just wanted to give it another shout out. Especially for those who are past the teenage breakout stage, but still deal with occasional flare ups and those who have frustratingly combination skin, like mine. Also, I am super sensitive to a lot of products, but Jan Marini works for me.
Something super high-tech for all you Jan Marini lovers who are thinking about aging skin: Age Intervention Regeneration Booster. Sounds serious. Is serious!
