Wrinkles, Mother Gothel & Imedeen
So aside from being fucking exhausted every day of my life, Iâm also quite into beauty, in particular, trying to cling to youthfulness with every fibre of my being. Iâve been (jumps for joy) asked to review these amazing little tablets by Imedeen who are a multi-award winning beauty supplement brand.

Iâve been given the Imedeen Derma One range which apparently helps combat the first signs of ageing and assists with maintaining radiance and moisture to help keep the skin supple and youthful. Featuring the exclusive Marine Complex, vitamin C and zinc, this formula contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress, supports normal collagen formation and helps maintain healthy skin.
Any product that mentions the word Collagen, immediately grabs my attention. Supposedly, Collagen is the secret of eternal youth & the Holy Grail within the beauty industry. If you havenât heard about Collagen, then quite frankly, you must have been
A) hiding under a rock. Or
B) hiding under a pillow. A giant one. Or
C) you have been too busy trying to keep your children alive to even think about wrinkles and Collagen.
Letâs be honest, I need all the help I can get; I havenât slept for 2 years. And even before children, I thought I hadnât slept for 34 years. How wrong was I?
Now that Iâm 36 - I know, I canât quite believe it either, and with the extreme lack of sleep that comes with raising two miniature sleep thieves, I look in the mirror & Iâm not that impressed with what I see. Iâm afraid one day, I will look in the mirror and Mother Gothel, (pre Magical Golden Flower) Tangled, get with the times people, will be staring back at me. Lack of sleep eventually takes a huge toll on your body. Itâs been proven. Scientifically. The prospect of this scares me shitless, so I will do whatever it takes and try whatever lotion/potion/tablets are sent my way to assist me on my quest for eternal youth.
I try and do what all the health bloggers suggest; drink more water, eat more avocados etc but the problem is, I bloody love chocolate. I canât get enough of the stuff. Some days, I have consumed my entire daily calorie allowance in sugar by 10am. Itâs what gets me through the days. That and coffee. Lots of coffee. Iâm not sure eating my body weight in chocolate, followed by 10 avocados is doing the trick, soâŠ..I need to try something else. I more than anyone need some help in the reversing sun-damage department. When I was living it large in Ibiza back in the 90âs, I thought nothing of frying my face in actual Olive Oil to give me that Ronseal-dipped glow that was all the rage. My mum tried to warn me âyouâll regret it when your olderâ âyour damaging your skinâ etc etc etc, but obviously I knew best. Anyway, you know how it is, whatever she said I did the exact opposite.
Unfortunately, Iâm now seeing the effects of my rebellious younger years and I have all the sagging, fine lines etc that comes naturally (frying your face like a greasy chip) with ageing.
SoâŠâŠAll I have to do is pop 2 pills a day (morning and night) and Iâll supposedly be looking like Cindy Crawford (in her 20âs) in no time at all. (Thatâs not exactly what the company promises, but I do tend to exaggerate). Easy.
The tablets are not exactly cheap, but if they do what they say, then theyâre worth every penny. They promise to;
Help improve skin quality Help improve moisture balance Help skin look more radiant Make skin on face and body feel softer, smoother and more supple It takes around 12-24 weeks to notice any difference so I shall be reporting back in a couple of months and keeping you updated on my Imedeen journey.
An insightful article was written on these little gems back in 2014, so have a read and judge for yourself;

If like me, you believe the hype around anything & everything and you're impatient to get started, then you should most definitely go throw away some money right now; You can get them direct from Imedeen. Boots also stocks them & theyâre currently on offer 3 for 2. Grab yourself a bargainÂ

Hereâs hoping you wonât even recognise my face in 3 months time (I never expect TOO much)
Sending you all lots of sleepy vibes. The struggle is real people.
I LOVE MY LIFE, I LOVE MY LIFE, I LOVE MY LIFE
Happy Wednesday. The Exhausted Mum :-)
