Are esthetics facials worth paying for after you are 68? Should you just get your nails done.

It’s so helpful to have a list of effective ingredients to look for. Now I just need that one pill to make me small so I can read the fine print!😉

Val, I’ve never been a sucker for high priced facial lines until I hit 50 and I got rosacea. I always wear a sunscreen even if I stay in all day. I live in Az and I’ve seen some wrinkled horror stories. Genetics is more than half the battle I think. The other half I feel is creams and soaps that don’t dry you out too much. I tried Tata Harper skin line since it’s all natural. At least I think it is. Since then no more rosacea! No happy sh chemicals works for me. I just need one miracle from you and your research. Upper eyelids! The correct name is Floppy eye. Help!

Fabulous. I've read and edited stories about this stuff half my life. This is the clearest explanation yet. (Thanks for the links.)

Thanks for this Val! People have asked me that question because I research a lot of beauty products and I agree! It’s funny because i use niacinamide, glycolic acid toner, tretoinin and azeleic acid to hopefully doing this stuff now will help me later!
