Boasting mega-moisturizers, unprecedented antioxidant protection and powerful anti-aging properties, it's no wonder why Fresh's Sugar Açaí Age-Delay Body Cream is a favorite amongst ageless beauties like Marcia Cross.

(PS: I prefer to indulge daily after my evening shower, but have been told by friends that this bergamot-scented cream is equally amazing when used chilled as an early morning pick-me-up.)

"I am not against Botox, and I would never judge anyone else for getting any kind of surgical or non surgical procedure, but I think when you’re young there are other ways you can look after your skin, and some amazing products on the market, like Fusion Beauty’s Illumifill, that help keep you looking young and beautiful. Botox just wasn’t necessary for me at this age."
