Q: What causes the skin to age?
A: The natural ageing process of the skin usually begins in our 20s. As the skin ages, its renewal rate slows. It becomes drier, less firm and less radiant. External factors such as sun exposure and environmental stresses like pollution can often accelerate the skin’s ageing process.
Women of all ages are concerned about the visible signs of ageing which include fine lines and wrinkles, and the loss of skin firmness and elasticity. Baby boomers want to fight the signs of ageing, while younger women want to delay them. The Miracle Set, a premium collection of age-fighting products from Mary Kay, works to help counteract these processes by:
| • |
Removing dead skin cells |
| • |
Reducing fine lines and wrinkles |
| • |
Keeping the skin moist |
| • |
Energising the skin’s cells |
| • |
Rebuilding the skin |

Q: What is microdermabrasion and how does it work?
A: Microdermabrasion has long been a secret weapon for beautiful skin. It is an extra exfoliation process that effectively removes the dead skin cells that naturally build up on the skin and cause a dull appearance. It is currently the fourth most popular* nonsurgical procedure in the U.S. With the TimeWise® Microdermabrasion Set, you can see and feel immediate benefits at home for a lot less money. The set contains the same microfine crystals used by dermatologists.
The two-step set was developed for anyone with fine lines and visible pores or dry, flaky skin who wants to see healthier, younger-looking skin immediately. The TimeWise® Microdermabrasion Set separates itself from the competition by including an important second step that many brands don’t offer. Step 2: Replenish is a rich serum that contains vitamins, antioxidants and anti-irritants that nourish the soft, smooth skin revealed by Step 1: Refine.
Best of all, the TimeWise® Microdermabrasion Set was designed to work together with the other TimeWise® skin care products. After one week of use**, 85% of users saw an improvement in their skin texture; 73% saw a reduction in fine lines, and 71% saw pores that looked smaller with this quick, two-step procedure.
