The time has come: my 25th year of age will come to an end in exactly one week! I personally don’t have any problems with becoming older. As long as there are cupcakes and cakes I’m all in and if getting older involves that I would say it’s something positive! I love parties, I love to celebrate with my friends and because we’re all a bit older now our party weekends became scarcer. That’s why I think it’s great to have an occasion to all meet up.

For my skin however starts a new phase. If you browse through magazines, skin with age 25+ belongs to the section “start using anti-aging products” and also first cosmetic surgeries are suggested. As for me I will never try that because I would never want an injection by choice. But I already had a look into anti-aging creams. I always try to protect my skin as often as possible. My day cream has SPF and my BB cream also protects my skin from harmful environmental influences.

Within the last years I noticed that my nasolabial fold got a bit darker (these are the folds that go from mouth corners to the nose). I don’t know if it interrelates with the laughter lines or where it comes from. Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins developed a great mask to brighten up dark spots overnight. The Dark Spot Correcting Night Mask moisturizes your skin and brightens up dark spots with natural ingredients. I apply the mask on my face and let it soak in for 10 minutes. Then I massage in the rest of the product. I’ve now tried the mask for a couple nights and I noticed that the dark spots already became a bit brighter. Because of the moisturizing factor my skin is not that dry anymore and it really beams.

And because I shouldn't be the only one receiving gifts for my birthday you’ve got the chance to win a night mask from Dr. Andrew for Origins! All you have to do is to fill in the box below and comment why you would like to win. The giveaway ends on 08.02.2015 at 11:59 pm. The participation is limited to Austria, Germany and Switzerland. I’ll keep my fingers crossed!
