My name is Jane, one of the Director's of Babes in Business, and I'm embarking on the Outshine 12 Week Better Skin Challenge.
Karen, Penny and the wonderful Outshine Team are going to give my skin an overhaul using a combination of salon treatments, home care products from Ultraceuticals and advice on lifestyle and nutritional changes that can dramatically affect our skin's health and appearance. Outshine believes that good skin is not just skin deep, so we will be focusing on a rounded approach to getting skin looking fit and fabulous!
Jane's diary - December 2007
Week 12
The End!
I have come to the end of my 12 week challenge program with Outshine! So what has happened?
I've had non-surgical facelifts, LED light therapy and AHA skin peels, along with my homecare maintenance program of Ultraceuticals products and slight modifications to my diet and lifestyle.

What is the final analysis? A definite improvement in my skin's appearance, texture and 'fitness'! And a definite commitment to keep up the good work that Outshine have started!
Like my parents used to say when I was at school - the more you put in, the more you get out - and this mantra seems to ring true in all areas of life. Being more aware of our skin and what it needs is the key here. As we age, we need to be more vigilant with protecting and nurturing our outer-shell.
It's also important to be smart about what you use on your skin, and I'm not just talking about SPF! Many of the creams and potions available make your skin feel nice, but this is usually because they leave a coating on the surface which makes everything feel smooth ... but that's about it. Look for products that have higher percentages of active ingredients. As opposed to cosmetics, these products are known as cosmeceuticals, and will actually WORK - not only on your skin's visual appearance but at a deeper level as they penetrate the dermis.
This 12 week challenge has really made me think about my skin in a different way. Much like we spend time exercising and improving our health at gyms, with yoga, or any physical activity, so too we should spend time on our largest organ - our skin! It's not vanity. Like your health, it's an investment in your future!
Thank you to Karen, Penny and all at Outshine! It's been an informative, enjoyable and rewarding 12 weeks!
