Make A Difference™ Collection by Origins Highly Recommended by Whom You Know!

Happy Monday, Manhattan!

It's time to start the week off right and that means for your skin too.

No one is perfect, but taking care of yourself and being your personal best is key to looking and feeling good. We have found a wonderful new solution by Origins for skin damage...and if you know Peachy, she used to think life was a contest to see how tan you could get when she was a teenager. Thank Goodness we've found something to reverse this...This botanical breakthrough collection proves that not all visible skin damage is forever. Make A Difference™ relies on a team of highly effective natural skin redeemers to enable skin to declare a “do-over” and to resume a youthful look and feel. The Rose of Jericho (a “Resurrection” plant that can survive and thrive after decades of drought), Trehalose (a reviving sugar from corn), and Padina Pavonica (a brown algae rich in Vitamin C and anti-dehydration properties) help to repair and rejuvenate the appearance of damaged and dehydrated skin.

Make A Difference™ Ultra-rich rejuvenating cream

This intensely hydrating facial cream immediately replenishes thirsty skin, providing long lasting moisture. By harnessing the potent power of The Rose of Jericho, skin is able to respond and adapt to the ever-changing environment and effectively defend against dehydration. Padina Pavonica reinforces Calcium’s barrier-boosting benefits while Trehalose helps repair existing visible damage. The combination of Cupuaçu, Kokum and Mango Butters enhance skin’s resilience. The appearance of fine lines is reduced as skin regains balance, hydration and health. Designed for dry skin, apply AM and PM as part of your Make A Difference™ skin care regimen.

Suggested Retail Price: $36.00 for 1.7 oz./50 ml

Make A Difference™ Skin rejuvenating treatment lotion

This treatment lotion prepares skin to receive the optimum hydration benefits of the Make A Difference™ Skin rejuvenating treatment or cream. To be used as the first step in your skin care regimen, skin receives long lasting hydration and is instantly soothed, moisturized and softened. Apply AM and PM to clean skin.

Suggested Retail Price: $21.00 for 5.0 fl oz./150 ml

Make A Difference™ Skin rejuvenating sheet mask

This 100% Organic cotton sheet mask saturated in a rich elixir helps to restore a youthful, smooth look. Fine lines appear to vanish, discoloration is visibly evened, and skin’s barrier is protected with our powerful ingredient blend. Rose of Jericho, Trehalose and Padina Pavonica deliver deeply satisfying, balanced moisture while Oceanic Flora help to repair the appearance of past sun damage. Cupuacu Butter and Buriti Oil help to seal in moisture and keep skin soft and supple. Murumuru Butter and Coffee Extract mimic skin’s lipid barrier to help keep your skin protected while Yeast Extract and Clary Sage help stimulate skin’s own lipid production. Skin will immediately feel refreshed upon first application – ideal after a day in the sun or after weathering a cold, windy day.

To Use: Carefully unfold mask and apply to clean skin. Gently smooth and press into place avoiding contact with eyes. Remove mask after 15 minutes and discard. Pat in residual treatment until absorbed.

The Rose of Jericho

One of an ancient species of everlasting plants known as a Resurrection plant, it can withstand almost total dehydration for decades (losing 98% of its water content) and return to life unscathed when rehydrated.

The Rose of Jericho has been said to have mystical properties and bring peace, harmony and abundance.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
