Ladies, I'm concerned w/ looking younger (will be 40 next year) which is actually a socially inflicted concern on my part! Thus, I've tried several products on a limited budget. Yet, would like to ask your experiences and concerns with products (lotions and potions for face and body), diet (don't eat beef), etc. What has and has not worked for you? Whether it be from the cosmetic counter or drug store? Thank you ladies!

Hi Mustanggal
I don't know of any potions or lotions that work, but would be glad to hear of any that do also. I am 45 and have been told by many that I look younger. I think its partly because I'm thin and partly because I wear less makeup than I used to. But I know my luck won't be holding out much longer so ladies, please share your secrets!

Drink lots of water. I keep hearing that.

Also, exercise. Even though it may not make you look younger in the face, it does something to the spirit and makes you feel better about yourself.

I also beleive it's important to be connected to God. Allow Him to fill your inside and then we tend to care less about the outside because we are happy within.

I am getting ready to use Arbonne products on my face. I'll let you know how that goes. Ah...more lotions and potions!

My "cure" is called IPL (intense pulsed light) and a dermatologist can do it for you. It's also called photorejuvination too. It gets rid of age spots, freckles, broken blood vessles and stimulates the under skin to boost new cell growth. I have it done about every 4-5 months.

Sunscreen. Always wear it!

Some women when they become a certain age fret over growing older to the point of obsession. I have seen this many times and that in itself can cause wrinkles. All of Dotsies ideas are good ones and just relax, allow your body to be whatever it is going to be. Have a good cleansing regimen and moisturizing. Eat properly thats the key, stay clear of fatty foods and too much sugar, hydrate your body well, stay regular, get plenty of rest and take a good multi vitamin. Whats going to happen will happen no matter what you do to the outside, its the inside that governs ones looks anyway. Oh and the less you drink and smoke the better....

I have always looked younger than I am....& I believe it's because of moisturizing my skin daily. I also wash with a glycerine soap.

I also believe that eating right & drinking lots of water does help also. I saw it work in my cousin--and there is truth in that theory!!!

Now that they don't proof me for alcohol anymore..it's kind of depressing! I was proofed till I was 30!!! [Smile]

Mustang Gal,

As Dianne said, use sunscreen!

Only 10% of the visiable signs of aging are unavoidable. (intrinsic)

A whopping 90% of the visible signs of aging can be avoided by protecting your skin from the sun!

Isn't that amazing!

A good skincare routine will leave your skin feeling like baby skin.

Exfoliating is also important - this rids your skin of the grey dead skin that makes one look dull and older!

I just turned 40 and I'm celebrating! I'm 40, fabulous, and my best years are from here on out!

Wooo hooo! Party on girls!

hugs,
danita

Ahhhh, thanks Dots!

I feel a little like a stranger here. I've been gone not just the 2 wks to Hawaii but 2 weeks before that to Maryland!

I'm easing my way back in.

I've been thinking what part of the trip can I share with you all (giggles)?

Will do so tomorow on the travel forum!

Danita
