Merlot Advanced Fine Lines Cream - A natural skincare antioxidant that is made in USA [Review & Giveaway]

 Since 2001 Merlot Skin Care has developed gentle, good-for-you beauty products, each packed with the sensational power of natural grape seed antioxidants. 

Merlot's newest release:
Advanced Repair Fine Lines Cream.

My skincare includes using serums, moisturizers, oils, eye creams. Sometimes, I indulge in a spritz of Rosewater for refreshment. Today, we're talking fine lines - and specifically the new-to-market Merlot Advance Fine Lines Cream.

Merlot Advanced Repair Fine Lines Cream visibly improves skin by targeting fine lines and dark spots. It’s gentle and hydrating, and like all Merlot's products, made in the USA, with no parabens or animal testing.

I firmly believe that we should use creams to moisturize our face and we should do this a minimum of once daily. Preferably, twice a day. Depending on the ingredients, the creams act differently to preserve a youthful appearance to skin. The key, however, is to moisturize and to do it regularly.

I am quite pleasantly surprised at the quality of this "purse friendly" (aka-speak for budget friendly) line of skincare products. And the Merlot product line is  vegan, natural, cruelty free.  (If you check the Merlot skincare line website, you'll see that their focus is on the use of grape seed antioxidants in all of their products.)

When I apply my skincare products, I take it also as an opportunity for a "spa massage" focusing on my temples, forehead, jaw line, nasal bridge, between eyes,  crows feet areas, and throat. I apply product with firm, upward rotating massage using my splayed fingers. I thoroughly believe this helps me to relax, relieves tension, and massages the lymph system to aid in drainage. I just feel this is good for me. I even do this more than once a day when I have a headache or a particularly stressful day. And then, of course, it is a skincare treatment as well.

Using the Merlot Advanced Fine Lines Cream is refreshing with a pleasant, light hint of "fresh air" scent, and literally feels good on my skin. Great under makeup or simply for those "go natural" days.

The recommended use is daily on cleansed skin. I am totally enjoying this lovely face cream.

All Merlot Skin Care products are made in the USA (in Texas) and are cruelty-free. Find them at www.merlotskincare.com
