While I rarely wear makeup maybe 3 days out of a month. I have switched my beauty routine to a new more moisturizing regimen for my change in skin and age.
So to be clear, I use Crepe Erase for my body and for my face I use The Image Skin Care Line (Ageless & VitC) , the best line I have eer used in my entire life (purchased by a dermatologist) and The Retinol Line (purchased at Sally's Beauty). I also use a combination of Castile Soap, Almond glow and other essential oils combined for various reasons. But I stick to my new regimen and it has been wonderful with the change in my age as I transition gracefully from my 30''s to 40's as I will be 39 in Dec. I drink a ton more water 3 full bottles right before bed alone to help my skin repair as I sleep along with nothing but much cooler face washes. I do NOT use ANYTHING that suds up or foams on my face. I use a cream face moisturizer to wash my face. I always apply my product by putting it in my hand the size of a dime and I always blot my face never wiping or pulling my skin. I always end with the SPF50 prevention cream by Image Skin Care. I also use my body line body lotion on the ends of my hair to control frizz and give my hair the bounce and shine in addition to Wen products. As a more mature model it can be a struggle to keep up with you amazing young women who have that youthful skin still so I have to stay on top of making sure for myself as well as my career the products I use are available, not expensive and work. I have no doubt as I transition from 50's to 60's my routine will change again. But I still plan on transitioning gracefully God willing I make it that far.
So what are the myth's?
Hint: Smiling isn’t the problemLet's get real for a second: No one has all the answers for crow's feet. But there is a way to be smart about how you approach your antiaging game. Namely, don’t fall for these seven common untruths.
Myth: Genetics is the main cause of wrinkles
Truth: That number-one honor belongs to the sun. Heredity can still be a slight factor, but it really comes down to how much UV exposure you subject your skin to. (Sunscreen is your friend.)
Myth: People with oily skin get fewer wrinkles
Truth: It's possible we're just telling ourselves that to make up for frequent pimple-patch usage. There's no definitive evidence either way. If you are on the oily side of the spectrum, though, it's OK to go lighter in products on some areas (say, the chin versus the under-eye area, where you do still need moisture).
Myth: The more you use anti-wrinkle products, the faster you'll see results
Truth: While you might be tempted to slather on aggressive amounts of heavy creams, the effectiveness goes only so far. In addition to being unnecessarily costly, it also puts you at risk of unwanted side effects like redness, irritation and flaking.
using anti-wrinkle products
Truth: Nothing is an immediate, or permanent, fix. The key to keeping fine lines at bay is a continuous routine. (So get that good cream out of the trash.)
Myth: Once you find something that works, you should stick with it.
Truth: While you should adhere to some kind of routine, it's also a good idea to switch up your regimen from time to time. Our skin changes as we age, so what works now might not in the future. On top of that, new products constantly enter the market with more effective methods and ingredients.
Myth: The more a product costs, the better it works
Truth: Everything has to do with the concentration and chemistry of the ingredients. Doing a little advance research is always a good idea. (You might be surprised by some drugstore options.)
Myth: If you don't smile, you won't get wrinkles
Truth: If you ask Kim Kardashian, she'd say you should never smile. (Shocker.) Once you let the general ridiculousness of that sink in, know that all facial expressions cause some degree of unavoidable wear and tear on the skin. But bringing it all home: It doesn't hold a candle to simple SPF protection.
