This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of éclos Skin Care for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I’m at that age where my skin just doesn’t look like it used to.  Sun damage from my younger years has left me with discolorations.  Also, as we age, our skin loses its elasticity, so I have begun to notice some sagging and wrinkles (especially around my eyes.)  I also had blackheads and enlarged pores on my nose.

So when I was asked to try éclos Skin Care for a two week trial, I jumped at the chance!

Researchers at éclos found that Plant Stem Cells extracted from a rare
Swiss apple, (Uttwiler Spätlauber), showed tremendous ability to
stimulate skin stem cells, encouraging aging skin to behave like
younger skin.

Similar products were once only available from specialty brands at department stores with a high price tag to match. éclos is the first brand to bring this active ingredient to mainstream stores at a fraction of the cost- making beautiful and younger skin available to women everywhere.

The kit includes:

• Facial Cleanser Skin Prep
• Cellular Activator Face Serum
• Moisture Therapy Regenerative Cream
• Restorative Eye Cream
• Instant Radiance Facial Scrub
• Skin Renewal Clay Mask
• éclos Terry Cloth Head Band

Here’s my video of how the éclos Skin Care system works, including the facial prep and the clay mask:

I did not review the instant radiance facial scrub in the video.  This product is so much fun!!  It smells like lemons, and it heats up when you rub it in your palms.  Then apply to your skin (avoidiing the eyes) and wash off.  My skin is glowing when I’m done!!

Here is video two, which describes the moisturizing system:

And here is an “after” photo of my face:

The biggest visible difference for me between the two photos is that the redness is lessened significantly in the second picture.  Additionally, although you can’t see it, my face feels so soft and much less dry than before. My blackheads are much fewer and my nose feels smooth, instead of rough and bumpy like it did before.  I’m looking forward to continuing éclos Skin Care so I can see the full benefits of the products.

And now, éclos Skin Care is offering one of my readers the chance to win the same facial system that I tried at home (a $19.99 value).  To enter, leave a comment on my blog telling me which product you are most excited to try.  (US citizens 18 and older only please).  Winner will be drawn after June 11, 2012.
