Season

An aerospace physicist toils over his work, completely focused on the task at hand.  Suddenly, a routine experiment explodes in his face, resulting in severe chemical burns.  They say time heals all wounds, but in this case time leaves rough scarring and discomfort.  Scouring the marketplace for a product to offer relief and hasten healing proved fruitless, so the scientist refocuses his energies to develop a topical solution for his condition.  6,000 experiments later, he discovers a miracle formula that gives skin a dramatically smoother appearance.

Sounds like the premise for a prime-time Sci-Fi drama, right?  Well, sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.  This true story is actually about the birth of a product we now know as Creme de la Mer.  The miracle formula invented by Dr. Max Huber while developing a product to heal his skin is at the root of Creme de la Mer, and many of its powerful ingredients originate in the sea.

I recently had the opportunity to sample Creme de la Mer.  It all starts out with a slightly different application process.  To activate the miracle broth in the creme, you must warm a small amount between your fingertips.  Then, pat gently onto clean, dry skin.  This moisturizer is so gentle, you can even use it around the eye area.  Amazingly rich and luxurious, this skincare product is perfect for the driest of dry skin.  After only days of use, my skin looked healthier and more radiant.  I can only imagine what continual use could do!

It has been said that necessity is the mother of invention.  The Creme de la Mer story proves this to be true.  A 1 oz. jar of Creme de la Mer retails for $125 on the Creme de la Mer website, and can also be found at fine retailers like Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman.  La Mer offers many freebies with purchase if you shop through their site, so keep your eyes peeled.  Addicted to La Mer?  You can even purchase a 16.5 oz. jar for $1,350.  The revolutionary ingredients in La Mer actually give it an extended shelf-life requiring the use of very little preservative, meaning a large jar wouldn’t need to be tossed in a year like other moisturizers.

I’m going to leave this post up to sustain my readers for a while.  I’m taking a much deserved break from blogging!  I’ll be back with you on January 2nd!
