Mimi Torres, creator of Arianna Skincare, was inspired to create a natural skin care line while in the midst of a struggle with 4B Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Aggressive chemotherapy left her skin compromised, wounded, and sore.  Mimi looked for products that were gentle, natural, and yielded the same results as chemical-based products.  The search eventually led her to her source: the Dead Sea. Dead Sea Minerals have proven healing to a number of dermatological conditons (e.g., eczema, acne, psoriasis) and enhance skin’s ability to retain moisture.  Arianna Skincare blends the power of the Dead Sea with the latest scientific innovations to deliver restorative anti-aging effects.

I tried a few of their products and particularly fell in love with two of them.

This luxurious cream brings together Dead Sea Minerals and cutting-edge anti-aging ingredients like Regu-Age PF to smooth wrinkles and firm skin, Manoliva to protect against free radicals and environmental polution, as well as Sepicalm to even skin tone.  I noticed gentle anti-aging effects around the eye area, yet what impressed me most about this eye cream was the incredible and lasting hydrating it brought to my the dry, tired skin around my eyes.  The cream contains Glucam E and Hydrovotion to promote lasting hydration, and last it does.

Once I discovered that Vitamin D is a powerful antioxidant that lessens signs of aging as well as dryness and inflammation*, I had to try it. Vitamin D has the potential to be a power player, as you can see in Vogue or journal articles. As someone who wears sunscreen religiously, I thought topical vitamin D might particularly benefit my skin.  Arianna Skincare is one of the first lines to create a serum with Vitamin D as its main ingredient, and they deliver it in an ultra-moisturizing formula fortified with other skin-nourishing ingredients CoQ10.  I love the way this feels on my skin; it makes me wish that every serum were a serum-oil.  This has given my skin a subtle glow and lessened dryness.

CONCLUSION: Both Active Vitamin D Serum-Oil and Instant Repair Collagen Eye Cream are exceptionally gentle and non-irritating anti-aging products. All Arianna Skincare is all-natural and completely free of sulfates, phthalates, with no synthetic alcohols, oils, or preservatives. The anti-aging effects are made even better by the nourishment and hydration these products deliver. For anyone whose skin is dry enough to flake or feel uncomfortably tight, the deep hydration of Arianna face care products cannot be oversold.

*Please note: Vitamin D can be very beneficial in the fight against skin aging, and as with most things in life, you can have too much of a good thing. According to research, Vitamin D’s relationship to skin aging follows a U-shaped curve, wherein either too little or too much vitamin D has the potential to accelerate skin aging, so this serum might be a good treat for your face on days when you are not getting much sun.
