2:38 am
and wondering what happened to me. (belinda) i feel like i'm missing out on life because of my skin. i want a change. hi, i'm jane seymour. have you ever had a moment in your life when you find something that changes everything? well, my epiphany was an anti-aging body treatment system that actually made my skin look years younger! it's called crepe erase, and it's the easiest two step system that can transform the old looking, crepe-papery skin we begin to see at a certain age, into visibly smoother, firmer, more beautiful skin, that looks as young as you feel! so if you're embarrassed by crepey looking knees, arms, or hands that make you want to hide, this is your chance to feel confident and beautiful in your own skin again. from the first time i used crepe erase, i could actually see a difference with one application. i feel more confident about the way i look. my husband loves to hug me!
2:39 am
he's feeling my skin, and he's, "oh my god, babe! you have really, really soft skin!" (female announcer) but what exactly is crepey skin? crepey skin basically comes down to two things: one is losing that elastin and collagen. they're complex proteins that make up the backbone, the matrix of your skin in the dermis. number two is we lose the ability to retain moisture in our skin. it's dry. it's loose. it's lost its volume. it's very similar to crepe paper. (female announcer) finally, help say goodbye to crepey, wrinkly, old looking skin! (male announcer) the secret is a skincare innovation called trufirm, and only crepe erase has it! trufirm is a breakthrough in skincare science. first, trufirm targets the dermal enzymes that break down collagen and elastin. second, it promotes your skin's natural elasticity,
2:40 am
giving it that youthful-looking snap back. trufirm supports and reinforces your skin's own netting, so it looks smoother, firmer, and younger. (female announcer) crepe erase has become the must have anti-aging body treatment for celebrities, including figure skating legend dorothy hamill... (male announcer) "little house on the prairie" actress melissa gilbert... (female announcer) and twelve time olympic medalist dara torres. i have people coming up to me all the time because they see me on tv talking about crepe erase and the first thing they want to know is does it work. and there's no hesitation in my answer when i say, "yes, it does." i feel much more comfortable in my skin thanks to crepe erase. it's nice to be 60 and to have younger-looking skin. people come up to me in the grocery store all the time and say, you know, "is it true? does it work? do you really use it?" and i say, "yeah, i do, i do." because of crepe erase, the crepey, icky, crinkly stuff is gone! (female announcer) you've probably already experienced the disappointment of trying to improve your dry, crepey skin
