The holidays are a time when everyone wants to look their best, so make sure you have ammunition built up into that beauty arsenal of wrinkle-zapping-line-filling cremes and fillers.
If you are into the industry hype and the new wave of skin plumping products that will make your skin look as dewy and fresh as it did ten years ago, you are somewhat prepared for the sticker shock of youth in a bottle. However if you find yourself the day of the party with nowhere to turn, here are a few things you can do to "plump up" so you can ring in the New Year radiantly.
Cosmetic Fillers:
Viscontour - Here's the important part of Viscontour: it's NON INVASIVE. Viscontour are ampoules of hyaluronic acid which create a slick ingredient that easily penetrates your pores. Apply after a shower and your skin will plump as much as 30%. Read more at Realself.com.
Restylane - Invasive, but it works, however it's best to do the day before your big party. Restylane is a filler made of hyaluronic acid injected underneath the skin around the eyes and mouth. The results last about 6 months. Watch Restylane in action on the Well Past 50 Video series >>
Beauty Products & Creams:
Freeze 24/7 Anti Wrinkle Cream - If hope lives in a jar, this just may be it. Freeze 24/7 claims 50 -90% reduction in wrinkles. The cream gives a plumper appearance within minutes and lasts about 24 hours. Hypo-allergenic and non-irritating, Freeze 24/7 has a good reputation across the cosmetic counters as well as women's faces. Find it at the Skin Store.com >>
GabaMed™ Instant Wrinkle Relaxer and Smoother - No injection necessary! These syringe-like doses are really a nutritious amino acid blend that nourishes your skin while making fine lines and wrinkles suddenly seem to vanish. Safe and comfortable, unlike Botox, which paralyzes facial muscles, GabaMed gently relaxes the tiny skin nerves that cause wrinkles for up to 10 hours. Check it out at SpaLook >>
Too Faced Lip Injection Mask - Who doesn't think plump pouty lips make you look younger? With this product, there's really no injecting involved. The plumping comes from Glycolic Humectants to provide moisture, Vitamins A and E to nourish and provide anti-aging action and Algae and Aloe Vera to condition lips. Vertical lip lines seem to disappear while the blood vessel dilating properties of this lip plumping miracle fill lips with a lasting and healthy rush of blood and oxygen to take your kisser to the extreme!

I have tried Gaba/med for a month with no results. I do not want any more of this product. Do I need to send the empty bottle back so I do not receive anymore automatically?
