Neutrogena Ageless Restoratives: Undo Summer Skin Sins

Neutrogena is a brand I’ve been using ever since I was a teenager back in Israel, believe it or not. And still today remains one of my favorite skincare lines. This is why I’m excited with their latest skincare collection: Neutrogena Ageless Restoratives. Just to show you that Neutrogena seems to want to address skincare issues from teen all the way to mature skin. Pretty fascinating!:)

Now you can Undo summer skin sins…in just two weeks! With the end of summer fast approaching, there has never been a better time to rejuvenate your skin, and restore some of the damage caused by the intense summer sun. While, wearing a broad spectrum SPF is the best way to protect your skin from wrinkles and brown spots, NEUTROGENA is offering you the opportunity for a “do-over,” and is helping you combat the damaged caused by too much sun and not enough sleep. 

· Repair – The first step to repairing past sun damage is to repair skin with a treatment that will not only improve the look of your skin, but will work deep within skin to reverse the signs of past sun damage
