I’m a firm believer that how you treat your body and skin in your twenties greatly affects how you will age during the course of your life. I use eye cream, but I have been starting to feel that it is time to focus on an additional aging-prone area: my neck and chest.

Despite all that I know about sun damage, I’m guilty of worshiping the bright yellow ball in the sky wearing minimal sun screen (does SPF 4 count?). But I’m going to try to reverse the potential damage and prevent unwanted wrinkles on my neck and chest with Pevonia Botanica’s restorative anti-aging treatments.

I’ve been testing out the Restore Neck and Bust Concentrate and Cream only for a few nights, so I can’t say that I’ve turned back the clock on my skin yet, but I am hopeful for future results. Both products smell of gardenia, and more importantly they firm and tone using Kigelia Africana, Elastin and Vitamin E. Anything that reducing signs of aging, improves elasticity and smoothes lines is a must have.

Now if only I could learn to stay out of the sun, then I could save my youthful skin for a lifetime.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have the luxury to visit the spa every week, or heck, even every day? For those of us who can’t enjoy that privilege, we have to settle with recreating a spa in our own bathrooms.

Pevonia Botanica makes it a little easier to turn your shower and tub into a sauna and steam room. Their Spa-At-Home Essentials pack includes anti-stress bath and shower gel, moisturizer, a body scrub, bath salts and a lavender scented candle. Everything comes in a great travel pouch.

This morning I decided to turn my bathroom into a spa. The essentials kit smelled like lavender, and immediately I felt that spa-sation that I get when walking into one. I lit the candle to set the mood, and got in the shower. The body scrub is lighter than other scrubs, but definitely felt like it was exfoliating my skin. The shower gel is creamy and a little goes a long way. I completed the line with the moisturizer that was very silky and smells great. I didn’t have time to test out the bath salts, but I am looking forward to adding them to my next bath.

This kit is something I would take with me on the go, or keep at home in my bathroom when I’m feeling the need to be pampered.
