Item Given Away: R+F ANTI-AGE Hand Treatment Regimen
Start Date: May 18
End Date: June 2

Our hands are among the hardest working and most environmentally vulnerable parts of our bodies. That’s why the backs of people’s hands often look so much older than their faces. To protect and defend against the tell-tale signs of skin aging – brown spots, thin, creping skin, wrinkles and dryness – we created the ANTI-AGE Hand Treatment Regimen. It visibly brightens and evens skin tone, restores moisture content to improve elasticity and resiliency, reduces the appearance of wrinkles and crepey skin, and most important, won’t give away your age. Regimen includes ANTI-AGE Hand Brightening Treatment 50 mL/1.7 fl.oz and Age Shield Hand Balm SPF 30 30g/1.0 oz.

I distinctly remember a time in my life when I was younger someone complimenting me on how beautiful my hands were and that I could be a hand model. Looking down at my hands today I know that will never be said again. My hands look much older than I am due to the stuff I put them through like dish washing and cleaning. Since R+F ANTI-AGE products are working on my face these are the products I will be buying next and I can’t wait!

But you do not have to wait! R+F Independent Consultant Jena Smith is offering my readers the opportunity to win the ANTI-AGE Hand Treatment Regimen for themselves. Please see rules below to enter to win today!

When I asked her how she knew it was a D she said, “D is for dog like on my shirt.” I was pleasantly surprised that she learned that. I highly recommend everyone check out Kazoodle Kids

My Thoughts

Whenever a fragrance arrives at my door it is always a challenge to get the package opened and be able to smell the new scents before my oldest daughter comes barreling down the stairs to claim one for herself. This time I barely got the lid off of the New York Muse bottle when she grabbed the other one and said after spraying it on her wrist that that one was hers. It’s funny, because while we have this little game going on, we always share the bottles with each other. I am thrilled that I have instilled the love of perfumes in her!

While I did get the New York Muse and she got Rio Glam Girl they both smell amazing, and the way we split them was perfect because my style is more the New York Muse and the Rio Glam Girl is more fitting to a younger girl. We both even took the quiz to see which style we were and we both came up with the fragrance that we had You can check out your style with the Quiz too.
