Susan Says: Skincare Steals

It seems that everyone is always striving to look a few years younger, and who doesn't love a good deal? A recent segment of The Dr. Oz Show featured three plastic surgeons who accepted the Dr. Oz challenge to find drugstore products, all under $20, that will help you to look ten years younger!

The doctors who accepted the challenge were Dr. Shirley Madhere, Dr. Anthony Youn and Dr. Stuart Linder and they searched stores from New York to L.A. to find the products they believe will do the most good for the least amount of money.  Each plastic surgeon brought back products that we can all use as plastic surgery alternatives:

Dr. Linder, whose area of expertise is facelifts, discussed the major complaints he hears from his patients: loss of elasticity, sagging skin and, also, age spots.  One of Dr. Lindner's products of choice for a home remedy is L'oreal Paris Revitalift Double Lifting Treatment which helps firm up the skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.  The product gives results in minutes and retails for under $15.00.  

Dr. Youn's specialty is injectables for lips.  He also does fillers in the lips and smile lines.  Of course the lip injection procedure is expensive and painful.  One of his favorite drug-store finds is Too Faced Lip Injection Plumping Serum, which be aware, does sting on contact but the price does not.


Dr. Madhere's specialty is eyelifts.  Her recommendation to temporarily combat under eye bags, sans surgery, is Sudden Change Under Eye Firming Serum, which tightens the under eye area in only 1-2 minutes.  It firms and dark circles, wrinkles, lines and puffiness are instantly diminished. It lasts for a day and can be refreshed during the course of the day, as well.
