At the end of the day and still recovering from a nasty cold. The problem was that I thought I looked good until I took the picture!<br /><br />I do have some good day cream (Nivea actually, with a little SPF) and under eye cream (expensive department store stuff) and night cream (puritas) and body cream with collagen-elastin (St. Ives) because of the weight loss.<br /><br />For cleaning I have Aveeno no alcohol makeup remover and a special eye makeup remover. <br /><br />My problem is remembering to use them all the time. Getting that routine. <br /><br />Guess we do have bad days, but like you I want to age gracefully. I want to feel good about getting older because it has to happen.<br /><br />And it's not that much of ramble, but it definitely helps. Crystal L.

I noticed wrinkles in my forehead the other day too and thought they looked so pronounced. Really it was a lack of sleep and hydration. <br /><br />For me, trying to age gracefully is a priority. I don't want plastic surgery and I don't want botox or whatever the hell else people can come up with. Taking care of your skin, esp in your face, is important and I think eases us into the aging process, lol.<br /><br />Basic cleaning and moisturizing products from Superstore (their house brand) are pretty good, and I've used them for years. But in the last year I did switch to Nivea because it wasn't the most expensive product but it's good. Whatever face cream you buy, make sure it has a small SPF factor. Even though you're not tanning or outside very much your face is always exposed to sunlight (unlike your bum), so it's good to have daily protection.<br /><br />Sorry for the ramble, I hope it helps?
