I'm really glad you are having such luck! What skin products do you use on your skin, can I ask??

And you're right - the WORST things for your skin and wrinkles are #1) SUN DAMAGE and #2) SMOKING!

Besides that, you can age your skin by putting harmful chemicals on it....

EG - you should really never use soap bars on your skin - the first ingredient is wax! You know that soap scum you clean off your tub?? That is what is sitting on your skin, not allowing moisture in. Not putting moisturizer on your skin is like not drinking water for your body! Think about it - put a prune in mineral oil (the first ingredient in most moisturizers) and put a prune in aloe - you'll see the prune in mineral oil shrivel up in time and dry out - and the one in aloe actually absorbs moisture and gets plumper - showing less wrinkles! It is VERY important to know what ingredients and products you put on your face.

I agree that 'wrinkle creams' do not get rid of wrinkles, and are definately too expensive! But your cleansers and moisturizers should be the best that they can be for your skin, or you're not doing it any good.

Also - everyone HAS to wash thier face TWICE A DAY! Going to sleep with makeup on ages your skin 3 DAYS everytime.

Foundations and coverup sit on your skin all day, getting into your pores - you should be careful of the ingredients in those also, and make sure you wash them off at the end of the day!!

I love talking about skincare if you didn't notice....:)
