Woo, new here and am LOVING it so far. Thought I'd add my 2c on this thread...
I'm 24, and my childhood of playing outdoors is just starting to catch up with me under my eyes in the faintest of lines and what not. While I've been a sunblock junkie for the last couple of years, the quality and texture of my oily-type skin has
drastically improved over the past six months or so after going starting regular use of Retin-A (0.025%) and glycolic acid night-moisturizer, which I alternate nightly. I use a quality moisturizer my esthetician/spa creates themselves, and go for regular glycolic peels and facials (10-20-30%). I use simply Cetaphil cleanser, as it doesn't strip oils.
When I say drastic, I mean
drastic! I look at pictures of myself from only six months ago and can't believe the difference in my skin's appearance. It is much clearer, rosier and visibly firmer than I ever thought possible...personally, I don't think any age is too early to start an anti-aging routine, as long as you consult a dermatologist. Better to start taking care of shallow wrinkles now rather than wait until they're deeper! I also use these products on my neck, chest and hands.
Of course, life isn't all about wrinkles. But I seriously am so thrilled with the results from the changes in skincare I've made!
What sunblocks do you all use? Anyone have any experience with Neostrata products? I've heard good things about them...
Anyway, nice to meet you all!
