Cindy Crawford's Meaningful Beauty 5-Step Treatment Final Review #MomCentral

I was so excited to announce Children Teaching Mama was reviewing Cindy Crawford's Meaningful Beauty  in a February post. I've followed the routine for the 5-step system for a little over a month now and also received a kit to share with my mother-in-law. I have to admit I pretty much had no skincare routine before reviewing Meaningful Beauty because I just wasn't satisfied with the results, but the first time I tried this system, I knew it was different.
 

The kit I received from Meaningful Beauty contained:
  • Skin Softening Cleanser
  • Creme de Serum
  • Lifting Eye Creme – Advanced Formula
  • Skin Brightening Decollete and Neck Treatment SPF 15
  • Antioxidant Day Creme SPF 20 UVA/UVB
  • Glowing Serum
  • Glycolic Treatment Pads
I always start out my routine by washing my face with the Skin Softening Cleanser, which I really love. It is gentle and really does make my skin feel soft, unlike other facial cleansers that seem to dry my face out. My very favorite item in the box was the Creme de Serum, which you put on at night and can also add during the day, too. This made my skin feel immediately revived and moisturized. The Lifting Eye Creme also felt great around my eyes. The Skin Brightening Decollete and Neck Treatment along with the Antioxidant Day Creme were perfect for the day part of the routine, protecting my skin from the sun and not making my skin feel oily. It immediately is absorbed into my skin and is perfect base before adding make-up. The Glowing Serum and Glycolic Treatment Pads were sample sizes and although the pads dried out my skin a bit much, the Glowing Serum really did make my skin sparkle. 


After using the Meaningful Beauty 5-Step Treatment for about a week, I could already tell my skin was much more moisturized. By two weeks I could tell a definite improvement on the health of my skin. I always have red patches and they were drastically decreased. After four weeks, my skin feels absolutely amazing. I usually have the driest skin that just doesn't look very healthy. This system has changed the way my skin looks and feel, which, in turn, has made me feel more confident, too. Even the fine lines I noticed around my mouth have diminished. My skin tone was much more even and my face even felt softer. I posted my embarrassing no-make-up photo with my first post and here is my not-so embarrassing after-photos without makeup. Even from just these 2 photos you can see a huge difference.
You cannot even see redness around my mouth where it usually shows the most! This makes putting on make-up so much easier with even-toned skin. I've even found myself not wearing make-up as much because I don't feel the need to cover up my skin. 


Are you looking for an easy anti-aging skincare regimen? I highly recommend Meaningful Beauty and think you will be pleased with the results. Plus, the prices right now start at only $39.95 for the 5-Step 30-Day Supply, which is much cheaper than many others on the market! Have you tried Meaningful Beauty or are you interested in giving it a try? If so, let me know your results!

Children Teaching Mama is Testing Meaningful Beauty By Cindy Crawford #MomCentral

I am so excited to be writing this post! Children Teaching Mama was picked for a test drive of Cindy Crawford's Meaningful Beauty. This amazing 5-Step system we received will be tested by me, personally, to see how well it works. This anti-aging system works to restore skin from the inside out to make skin healthy and beautiful.

I've tried products in the past for my sun damage and early signs of aging, but none really seem to work well. Some were overly expensive and others were so many steps, I just couldn't keep up with the routine. What is my current skin routine? Well, I don't have anything that I do on a daily basis. I can't even say I clean or moisturize my face each day like I should. I mean, I have good intentions, but it just doesn't always happen. For this reason, my skin is looking quite dull, aged, and dry. This is why it's time to give Meaningful Beauty a try!

When I was younger, I rarely used sunscreen or wore a hat to protect my face. As a result, I can see the sun damage from years of abusing my skin. As a child, it was the last thing I thought about, but now, turning 32 next month, the fine lines are starting to appear and I am becoming more self-conscious about them. It's time to take better care of my skin, to nurture it and do what I can to restore and keep a healthy, youthful glow. No more abuse for my face!

Now, to show you just how well Meaningful Beauty works, I have taken a most embarrassing photo for you. I took the picture after washing all make-up off of my face, so you can see all the acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles and sun damage! No laughing!!

You can see the fine smile lines forming. I used to have one dimple line when smiling and now I have a third starting. Also, there are many lines around my eyes. My skin is always, always dry, too. As you can tell, I need Meaningful Beauty and cannot wait to start using the 5-step treatment tomorrow.

In addition to my kit, I was sent a second kit to give away to a friend. I am choosing my mother-in-law because I know she would love this. She's a nurse and doesn't have much time for herself and I thought this would be a nice way to pamper herself! She's such a sweet lady and would do anything for her family. The grandchildren absolutely adore her, too. She deserves so much more, but I know she'll enjoy this gift. I'll be giving it to her this weekend.

My Thoughts

Puristics Totally Ageless Daily Anti-Aging Lotion SPF 15, 1.7 fl ozI received the line of Puristics Totally Ageless Skin care products, including the Night Recovery Cream, Intensive Eye Treatment, and the Advanced Skin Rejuvenating Lotion! I just turned 31 this weekend and, growing up the 80s, I definitely did my amount of time in the sun without sunscreen... Yes, the fine lines are slowly, but surely creeping in. Maybe it isn't too noticeable just yet, but they will be in a few years. That's exactly why it's important for me to find a lotion that not only rejuvenates my skin, but also contains non-toxic products. I only want the best for my body, after all!

The first time I used the Night Recovery Cream, I used too much. You will know when you have because it will start to peel as you rub it on. That was actually a good thing, though, because I learned just how long the bottles of lotion will last... a very long time, actually! 

Puristics Totally Ageless Revitalizing Eye Cream, .5 fl ozThe lotion was not greasy or gross feeling and actually immediately absorbed into my skin, leaving it feeling soft and natural. Just follow the instructions and, within a week's time, you will definitely notice healthier skin. Even after the first time, I could tell a difference in my skin, honestly. It looked shinier, moisturized, and revived. In return, I felt exuberant! 31! Ha! I feel like I'm still 25 so, why not look like it, too? 

Ready to give Puristics a try? All Puristics products are available online at Drugstore.com at prices starting at only $3.99! Wow!
