Last night was spent sipping on mulled wine, eating baked apples with cinnamon, sugar and butter (yum) and putting up our Christmas tree. What do you think?
Whilst galavanting around the house like an overexcited Christmas elf, I kept stopping to roll my leggings up and feel how super-soft my legs were even after a mere two hours of wearing them.
The leggings that I've been wearing (pretty much solidly since I got them yesterday) are Proskins Gold and they are pretty miraculous.
At first glance, they are a pair of nice-fitting, shiny leggings that go with pretty much anything, but when you start to analyse the science behind them you realise that there is a lot more to them.
The threads of the leggings contain a combination of 24 Carat gold particles and hyaluronic acid. If I understand correctly, the gold particles help to carry the acid to the lower dermis of the skin. As humans we produce our own fair share of hyaluronic acid which is highly anti-ageing, but as we get older, the amount we produce diminishes, leading to a lack of collagen in the skin. The fact that the leggings deliver the acid at a deep level, means that the effect is two-fold. Not only are you getting added hyaluronic acid, but it helps the body itself to make more of its own.
There have been numerous studies that conclude that these leggings really do have an anti-ageing effect on the skin. In the video below, you'll see a woman who has been wearing a Proskins Gold glove on one hand and nothing on the other. The gloved hand is wrinkle free and when pinched, the skin bounces straight back which is far from the case on the other hand.
Additional effects of the leggings include:
Sports Compression Technology: The controlled compression helps to rid the body of toxins and cellulite. The leggings are also great for protecting you from DVT on a flight.
Silver Anti-Bacterial: This keeps the fabric clean for extended wear
Unique Yarn Technology: The anti-ageing effect of the leggings is guaranteed to last for more than 100 washes and there is proof that it lasts for the lifetime of the leggings.
Moisture Management: Keeps the body cool, dry and comfortable. Great for exercise and beauty journalist Alice Hart-Davis swears by using them for hot yoga as they keep her cool and sweat free.
These leggings are a joy to wear and the fact that they keep your body moisturised is a massive bonus (no more applying lashings of expensive body lotions each morning). The anti-ageing effects mean that your legs will look fantastic and the fact that they also help get rid of cellulite makes them every girl's best friend!!
Proskins Gold leggings will be available in the New Year and retail for £145.
