Flower Power For Your Face

Posted: 3/11/2011

A face cream made with a rare Resurrection Flower can help you have petal-soft skin.

(NAPSI) - A rare plant called a Resurrection Flower could be the secret to giving you a more youthful complexion.

Officially named Haberlea rhodopensis, the plant can dry out completely and survive periods of extreme dryness for up to 31 months and then spring back to life with just a few drops of moisture.

Now, the science behind that can be applied to your skin with Rosa Arctica Youth Regenerating Cream from Kiehl’s Since 1851. An advanced anti-aging cream, scientifically shown to jolt skin’s cell vitality, it uses an infusion of the flower to “wake up” skin cells, minimize fine lines and wrinkles, and improve overall skin firmness.

It triggers skin’s own natural restoration process to help it:

• Retain moisture

• Increase cell vitality

• Stimulate collagen and elastin production

• Protect skin from environmental stressors.

There’s also vitamin E, an antioxidant; cocoa butter, shea butter and essential fatty acids to replenish lipids; squalane, a highly refined plant oil that’s very compatible with skin; and glycerin, to help skin stay hydrated.

It’s available at Kiehl’s Since 1851 stores and www.Kiehls.com.
