I am watching the commercial about this amazing melon extract from the S. of France that is in the "Meaningful Beauty" product that Cindy Crawford supposedly uses. Has anybody used it? Does it really work? Has it made anybody look younger ?
I am not going to order it ! My suspicion is that she Cindy has a bit of help. Plus, it looks like Cindy--- on the commercial is "airbrushed".... Just like magazine covers ! Even Brooke Burke in Prevention mag admits to Botox. I am going to stick w/ excercise, all natural serum, sunscreen every day, not too much sun and face massage.
Last time I checked there is no magic potion, pill or elixer. Othetwise there would be a stampede to buy it. The only way to stay as ypung looking as possible is to eat right, exercise , limit sun exposure and have great genetics and not stress the small stuff. Anything else will require a plastics doc on retainer.
I am always leary of anything on an infomercial, especially ones that have paid celebrity endorsements. But I find it hard to believe about the melon can do what they say it does.
I'm pretty sure it's plastic surgery, not melon extract that keeps celebrities looking young!
I think Cindy Crawford has a combo of good genes, good doctors, and good skincare habits. I don't think the product she's selling is what's kept her looking so good. I doubt it's any better than an anti-aging system you can find at the drug store.
The only magic wand I've ever found costs about 800 a week, and probably causes skin cancer (a liquid oxygen compound that made my skin look 12 for about a week! But I seriously wonder about skin cancer, because O2 is radioactive. S HUGE chunk of where 'antioxidants' go is our lungs, to prevent lung cancer from the free radicals we get from oxygen). Mine was a freebie, it's what stars use before red carpet & filming.
It WORKS, the intraceutical stuff -not the melon, clueless there), but I wonder at what cost. My friends who use it before photo stuff have to avoid antioxidants (vitC, mostly), because instead of a weeks worth of 12yo looking skin they only get about 2-3 days with a healthy diet. I happened to be on a divorce-land comfort food binge at the time, or I'm sure the effects would have been much shorter.
I used it a few years ago - Cindy caught me at a weak moment, before she admitted having had a bit of "work." No better than the Oil of Olay Regenerist I was using & went back to using. For me, not worth the $$, plus there's the automatic bill pay....I kicked myself for giving in! Suggestion - you can always find any of the informercial products on Ebay for cheaper than on TV - if you reallly want to try something, maybe go there and just buy a small amount to sample?
