VEXED BY YOUR COMPLEXION? TURN BACK THE CLOCK WITH THESE HIGH-POWERED SERUMS

If you’ve noticed that your fine lines and wrinkles have become a little less, well, fine, it’s time to bring
in the big guns. Botox and fillers work wonders, but if you’re not yet ready to take the plunge (or even

times the age-fighting ingredients as traditional creams and lotions, these powerful potions are your
skin’s best over-the-counter weapon when it comes to combating signs of the times. For a plumper,
glowing complexion, each morning and evening, gently massage three to five drops of one of these
beautifiers over your freshly-washed face and neck, following with a moisturizer.
