Brandt New?

The other evening during an unusual lull in my creative activity, I was quietly examining my post winter-is-it-bloody-spring-yet complexion when it dawned upon me just how lacklustre and dare I say pasty my hue has now become. This, I thought requires some serious skin-feeding effort and thus it may be time to bring in the big guns!
A friend of mine suggested I try a couple of products to get me on the road to “Jourdan-esq” glowing skin. Knowing I am a fan of organic skincare, her first offering was rather controversial for two reasons. Premièrement, the Dr Brandt line is anything but organic in it’s chemically charged approach. Deuxièmement, (and this is my main sticking point), have we seen Dr Brandt? This gentleman has clearly been dipping into his own troth all too frequently if you get my meaning, (I’m sure you will when you see his photo below). The skincare line offers one the chance to “take the doctor home with you”, I for one am dubious about this offer…

Alors, I will be trying two products; the Detoxygen Experience (did you see what he did there with the merging of the two words…genius peut-être!), and the Microdermabrasion Exfoliating Face Cream. Dr Brandt Detoxygen Experience promises to “maximizes oxygen transportation into skin cells, neutralizes toxic effects, detoxifies skin cells, revitalizes and re-energizes lackluster skin for a fresh, luminous look”. Hmmm, “luminous”… sold!

Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion Face Cream is a formula designed to “mimic the transformative brightening, smoothing effects of the popular in-office microdermabrasion treatment at home”. OK, so far I’m liking but I’m still uneasy about the level of chemicals these treatments may contain but I shall persevere in the interests of science and dare I say a glossy visage. I shall begin my little experiementations this week and report back shortly. Stay tuned. x
