The big news for the TIA shop this month is that we worked with our ecommerce partner OpenSky to cut back shipping costs. All products now have free shipping, although we did increase the price of some of the products by $3 to help cover us a bit. OpenSky is transitioning to a new platform this weekend and some features, including coupon processing, may not be fully functioning. We will extend all offer deadlines and if in doubt leave an email for me at marta@truthinaging.com and I’ll make sure your order and any discounts are processed. Read more...

I loved Nutra-Lift Foundation in warm beige ($24 inc shipping in the TIA shop). As I mentioned, I have been using Bare Escentuals for several years and wanted to try something new. I have not used foundation per se in years. The most I used was tinted moisturizer by Laura Mercier for the past 10 years.
The Nutra-Lift Foundation goes on smoothly and does not accentuate or settle in any of my facial lines. It looks very natural. Since it is summer and my skin is slightly tanned, I would have probably chosen the darker shade. However this was my true shade. It matched perfectly.
We are currently offering 20% off Nutra-Lift Foundation. Click here and use the coupon code FOUNDATION20.

The FDA is starting to clamp down on spas and clinics that offer lipodisollve or mesotherapy, an injectable treatment for cellulite.
Mesotherapy – also called lipolysis, lipozap, lipotherapy, or lipodissolve – is unregulated and there are no standard procedures. Mesotherapy uses a cocktail of fat cell busting medications, vitamins and plant extracts. No two doctors will necessarily administer the same cocktail. Some seem to use an emphysema drug called aminophylline. It is used in mesotherapy as it is proven to help improve blood flow in patients with respiratory problems and the hope is that it will do the same with those who have cellulite. One study in 1999 suggested that there is no evidence that aminophylline works. Read more...

You may have heard of microdermabrasion, a procedure offered at several spas and clinics where the outermost layer of your skin (mostly dead skin) is removed (using crystals or other well, lightly abrasive materials like alumina crystals). Its purpose is to reduce the appearance of scars, hyperpigmentation and fine lines and to give you an overall glow. I’m not sure how I personally feel about the procedure, especially since a friend of mine tried it for herself. Wherever she got it done, they told her she would have to have six sessions – by the third session she was breaking out horribly but they told her she would need the full treatment to see the full results and encouraged her to stick with it (red flag!). I think she may have had one more when her whole face was covered with pimples and she finally stopped. It was, for lack of a better word, scarring for me — and I’m sure, her too. Read more...

Thanks to Marsha, I have discovered a new set of product twins – identical ingredients in differently branded and, often, very differently priced products. If you look at the ingredients of Skinceuticals CE Ferulic and Cosmetic Skin Solutions C + E Ferulic Serum, you’ll be seeing double. They are the exact same formulas. The only thing that isn’t the same is the price. Skinceuticals costs $142 and Cosmetic Skin Solutions costs $39.95.
How Skinceuticals CE Ferulic (which we reviewed last year) justifies the $100 difference is unclear. Perhaps it is by listing the concentrations of the three actives: vitamin C at 15%, vitamin E at 1% and ferulic acid at 0.5%. Well no actually, Cosmetic Skin Solutions makes exactly the same claims on its bottle. Read more...
