Now that I am 35 years old, I no longer reap the rewards graciously granted to me in my youth. Many moons ago, my waistline would easily forgive me whenever I had devoured a chocolate bar in one breath. My pre-pregnancy cardiovascular state was never an issue. And grey hairs and wrinkles were never a concern. Today, I am out of shape. I desperately need to update my wardrobe with clothes that actually fit. And I'm tempted now more than ever to yank out those less-than-subtle silver hairs that keep begging for attention. But wrinkles? Do I really have... wrinkles?

Among those factors that affect your skin the older you get are: hydration, wrinkles, firmness, density, radiance, regeneration, dark circles and under eye bag. Until recently, my main concern has always been hydration and finding the right moisturizer. I have always had dark circles under my eyes, so that is something I became accustomed to very early on. But not wrinkles. I cannot possibly be battling wrinkles at the not-so-ripe age of 35. Or maybe I am. It is a well-known fact that wrinkles can be caused by age as well as ultra-violet light during sun exposure. I have also read that poor nutrition and lack of sleep can be contributing factors. (Is there a flashing neon sign pointing in my direction?) This is why I agreed to test the new Anti-Age Global line by Yves Rocher.

Launched in February of this year, the Anti-Age Global line "boasts a World 1st in Botanical Beauty: the 4th generation of Plant Source Cells extracted from Echinacea." In the Botanical Garden in La Gacily, Botanical Beauty researchers set out on a quest to produce Plant Source Cells of remarkable quality and effectiveness. This led them to Echinacea Augustfolia.
