Anti-aging products have come a long way baby!

I just had this frustrating conversation with an “elderly” friend. OK, she’s only a few years older than me, but she seems much older because she’s stuck in a time warp about 20 years ago!

The argument was about anti-aging products. She said that once you had wrinkles, nothing could reverse them in any way, because there is no way to restore collagen after it has broken down with age. Now I remember that this used to be the case back in the eighties when I first started looking for ways to keep my skin looking young. However, the emerging and growing science of cosmeceuticals has changed all that.

After all, medical science has made all kinds of things possible now to cure illnesses that were death sentences twenty years ago, so why wouldn’t the same be said for the science that deals with beauty and skin care? Especially when you think about the gazillions of dollars made by the cosmetic and skin care industries!

So don’t listen to old fogies that tell you your skin can’t be improved at your age. And don’t use their skin as a measure of what can be done, because they’ve obviously done nothing to help themselves!

There are lots of great anti-aging creams and other products on the market. My purpose with this blog is to help you find the best anti-aging products, to improve your skin both from the outside and the inside. A few of my friends are also helping me test and report on products, so we’ll help you find the ones that suit you best. Stay tuned!

How to Get Rid of Wrinkles — the biggest challenge of all

Wrinkles, that’s the main problem isn’t it? All those other problems with aging skin must be dealt with too, but aren’t we all most concerned about wrinkles? Wrinkles around the eyes, wrinkles around the mouth, “laugh lines” (right, who’s laughing?), crow’s feet, deep lines from nose to mouth. Those are the big challenges of keeping skin looking good after 50.

It seems that many of the miracle anti-aging creams and other products say they can “minimize the look of fine lines”. Well that’s just dandy, but we’re way beyond that! At least in my own case, those fine lines have deepened into major crevasses that present a challenge to modern cosmeceuticals. But I don’t despair, and I have had some success in getting rid of wrinkles with certain products. One of the things I want to do with this blog is to talk about the remedies I and some of my friends have tried, and the results we achieved (or didn’t achieve!) I’ve recently started using a product that comes with exciting promises, so after I’ve given it a fair trial I’ll let you know what I think of it. Stay tuned!

Has anyone tried “Frownies”? I just read about them the other day and am intrigued. If I can find them locally I’ll get some this week and give them a shot, but if you have tried them I’d love to have your comments.
