Interested in managing the neck area, mine makes me look much older than I am- it seems to be aging must faster than the rest of my face.

There are 2 amazing skin care lines what are so reasonably priced i didn’t think they would work but did!! The ordinary and the inkey list. The ordinary makes an amazing glycolic acid toner which is a necessary staple for skin tone, texture and turnover. They also make an amazing daily peel called Mandelic acid and a stronger peel which some call the “blood facial” called the aha/bha peeling solution which is only to be used once a week like a home chemical peel. The inkey list makes almost the same products, same price point and they actually have a tranexamic acid daily night treatment.

And I just bought the SkinCeuticals sunscreen. Thanks for that rec, Val. I love Elta MD but I'd like a good tinted one in my arsenal. (And the Elta MD tint does not work for me, just the clear does).

I've had IPL for dark spots--MAGIC! Totally worth every penny. Then I used Beautystat's Vitamin C serum (half the price of SkinCeuticals--works just as well) to keep the spots at bay between laser treatments. I can go 2-3 years between zaps. Pretty great!

What are your thoughts on hand held micro current devices, specifically for the jowl area on the face? Am I just wasting my money?

I love this. I need to find a sunscreen the doesn’t break me out. Not sure what the offending ingredient is but it creates a rash, not zits. Thoughts? It’s funny, I didn’t realize how many questions I had until you started this!
