Do you have any plans to change your current regimin? Any plans to try new devices or topicals or oral supplements?
Any successes to report from 2012?
My own plans:
I am going to continue my current topical regimin but consider purchasing a motorized needling device to replace my manual rollers. I am always looking at other at-home devices for skin rejuvenation, eg. lasers, penetration enhancement devices, etc. but have yet to become aware of anything with independent studies to back it up...if you are aware of any, please let us know.
Each January I do a "state of my skin" analysis, lol...to mark the anniversary of when I first started caring for my skin in earnest - 2006. I am happy to report that in these past 7 years, I have not developed one new wrinkle or mark of pigmentation, etc...even though I have been in perimenopause for much of this time period. I consider this amazing. All that said, I still have the crows feet I started with, although I "froze" them in time when I started caring for my skin and getting Botox to hold them back. I am all for the complete truth, so I am very happy with this. I couldn't do much about what occurred before 2006, but I have done lots to prevent the onward march of time since then. I did develop two small age spots on one hand, but they are now gone, thanks to rigorous self-care. I get compliments on my eyes/face and hands all the time...they are clear and line free and I am now 52 years of age and happy to claim it.
While I don't doubt that the peels, rolls and topical vitamins have played a big part in my success, I really believe my regimin was kicked up a notch when I finally found the right sunscreen (Burnout) and added an estrogen topical for occasional use. The day after using the estrogen cream, my skin always looks very alive and fresh...
In spite of all of this, I am not superwoman and cannot prevent gravity from taking it's toll, so my cheeks keep sliding downward. Only surgery can correct that (please no lectures on facial exercise).
My biggest successes to report from 2012 were the use of hair straightening treatments to help me get back my silky hair. I had missed my hair, lol...and of course, the upper bleph which gave me back my eyes...oh and yes, the Rapidlash and Careprost (thanks to those who gave me great tips!)
I wish you all continued success in 2013 and look forward to hearing about your own discoveries!
Best! BFG |
Tell me more about this estrogen cream please! |
