Last week I got to meet @RobertReyMD (Dr 90210) who was in SA to promote his new skincare range, Sensual Solutions.
Getting my picture with Dr Rey 🙂
If you’re a reality TV addict like me, you’ve no doubt heard of Dr 90210, otherwise known as Hollywood plastic surgeon Dr Robert Rey. Dr Rey is the “rock-star” of plastic surgeons and was recently in South Africa promoting his new line of skin care, called Sensual Solutions.
I was fortunate enough to be invited to a breakfast held at Durban’s magnificent Oyster Box Hotel this past Friday, to hear Dr Rey talk about his new line of skincare, and his secrets to looking younger.
Sumptuous Treats
Now, in case you did’nt know, Dr Rey is fifty years old! I kid you not, fifty!!! When he walked into the room, he looked not a day older than 35. He keeps in shape, but apart from his physique and immaculate dress sense, a closer look at his face, reveals that he truly has amazing skin.
Dr Rey said he developed this line of skincare to use on himself when he entered LA to work as a plastic surgeon. At age 40 and in an industry where it is all about the looks, Dr Rey felt that he needed to be one up on his much younger competitors, and so with his chemistry background (Dr Rey was a chemist before becoming a plastic surgeon) he created a bunch of creams to use on himself.
Everyone wanted to know how he’s managed to stay looking young, and ten years later he’s letting the world in on his secret and making his exclusive line of skin care products available to you!
Trying out the products from Dr Rey's new line - Sensual Solutions
At the breakfast we not only heard Dr Rey’s wealth of knowledge, but we got to sample and try out his new range on our own skin. I must say, I was totally impressed! Dr Robert Rey Sensual Solutions is a full body range from cleansers to body creams, and the entire range is 100% natural and based on plants found in the Brazilian jungle.
Great looking skincare - Sensual Solutions by Dr Rey
On the outside, the products look amazing. Dr Rey wanted to have a line that looks good on your bathroom shelf as well as it giving you great skin. The colour of the containers is rather unique, as it was developed to match Dr Rey’s own skin tone. How cool?! Each product is also colour coded with a stripe across the top; pink is for face, blue is for eyes, green for lips and the bronze is for body.
It’s difficult for me to pick a favourite because every product felt so great on! I want them all! One product that really stood out though was his cleanser. Called Face Up to it™ this cleanser is just amazing. Without even rubbing it in, it forms this really cool “fizz” that helps to oxygenate and clean out the pores. Dr Rey created this cleanser for his wife Hayley, who suffered with adult acne. Since using it, she has’nt had any more breakouts. I have to give it a try!
A fabulous fizzing cleanser - Face Up to It™
Another product that stood out was his lip plumping treatment called From Your Lips™. The treatment works by plumping your lips and giving them a natural tint. Two shades darker in fact, so you dont need lipstick.
Dr Rey believes that “lipstick is dangerous” and you’ll probably find scary metallics and other dangerous molecules in your lipstick which you eat all day. From Your Lips™ will help your lips short term to plump and darken but also long term by helping the fibers to produce more collagen.

I got a closer look at Carmen’s lips and they looked amazing, healthy glowing and gorgeous!
Now, of course, I’ve saved the best for last. I guess you could call this one botox in a bottle. It is as Dr Rey says “the most important of all creams” and it’s called Inhibitox™. This one is an instant wrinkle erase cream that I am DYING to try!
Having recently hit 30, the fine lines of my forehead have really started to bug me. They are not bad, but hey they are there, and I know they will only get worse. Im doing everything I can to keep them minimized, but I can still see them, which at the end of the day is what counts, right?
Im also terrified of Botox, having heard all the nasty horror stories and seen some very scary facial expressions, where you can’t tell if the person is sad, angry, happy or ecstatic. Who want’s to end up like that?
To make matters worse, Dr Rey said he found some Scandinavian literature that links inject-ables to short term memory loss. As if getting older isn’t enough strain your poor memory already.
Well, things look like they could be looking up with Dr Rey’s Inhibitox™. This cream uses all natural plants to penetrate the skin and help to partially paralyse the mimetic muscles (muscles that form facial expressions). It contains GABA that blocks the nerve impulse at the nerve muscular junction.
Stay tuned as I’ll be trying and testing this new range from Dr Rey soon!
