Remember “amino acids” from your 9th grade biology class? Me neither, so here’s a refresher course: amino acids are the building blocks from proteins which in turn makes them the basis for living tissues. Your lovely skin needs amino acids to create important proteins like collagen and elastin.  Unfortunately skin becomes depleted of amino acids through both aging and environmental factors. Putting those valuable amino acids back into the skin is the basis behind the creation of AminoGenesis Skin Care.

All products in the line are amino acid-based; their amino acids are made from plant sources and are purified before being blended to match the same amino acid composition in collagen. Replenishing your skin’s supply of amino acids will give it the tools necessary to repair itself on a daily basis – check out the before and after images on AminoGenesis’ website for more illustration. Their newest product is an anti-aging serum called Perfect Reflection which utilizes ingredients like Vitamins A, C, and D, along with 17 plant-derived amino acids.  Perfect Reflection provides skin with much-needed nutrients along with rapidly moisturizing it for a more dewy, youthful appearance.

And now one reader will have the chance to win a bottle of Perfect Reflection to try out (a $69 value!). Just send an email to comments@lapretty.com with your name and mailing address in the body and Perfect Reflection in the subject line. We’ll pick a winner at random on June 25 and AminoGenesis will send you a bottle for free. Please leave a comment on this post after you try it and let us know what you think!

Good luck! (US residents only please.)
