Now 48, I am painfully aware of the skin changes that come with each passing year. Always one to be complexion concious, I have tried to keep good products on my skin to keep it youthful looking-- but now more than ever, keeping up with the pace of change is a challenge. There are billions of products out there promising youthful results. Having tried many of them, without good results, the next step for me was all natural rememdies. Becoming a home chemist, I broke out the essential oils and enriching base oils like coconut, olive, and almond oil, and gave them a go. The results have been delightful. I have come up with incredible body scrubs, salves, headache helpers, toothpaste, deoderant.... great products that are incredible for everyday use--- but alas my face, (and hands) keep aging.
So I invested in new cosmetiques. A friend is selling Younique, and everyone is raving about it. The products come beautifully packaged, and in gorgeous hues. They promise super long gorgeous lashes and sparkling eyes. I do love the 3D lashes, and use them daily.... but the rest, not so much. To be clear, the product is great, it just isn't for me. At 48, I no longer find it fun to spend an hour doing my make-up, experimenting with pigments and textures. No thanks, no fun, too messy, no time. I am a mother of five, I want my face on, hair done, and to be dressed and accessorized in less than 30 minutes. I don't have time to play. My wrinkles are not miraculously minimized with this make-up, my hyper pigmentation is clearly visible, this girl needs something with more coverage.
Still lost and disappointed, and feeling yuck-- I search. There must be a solution to these fine lines, wrinkles, and sun spots without investing tons of money or freezing my face. Perhaps it is shallow that so much of my peace comes from feeling good about my appearance. Maybe I should just embrace my age, and wisdom, and let it go......HA!!! Never!!! I will fight for tight skin, and plump lips. I will find a way to have my eyes look fresh and awake! This journey is one every woman must take. We all handle it differently. For me research and experimentation is the journey. I will keep you posted.
