A few years I was looking for a stable sunscreen. Shiseido spf 50 lotion (in Canada) was highly raved about on the makeupalley.com site. Now it IS stable and available in department stores. BUT it is highly fragranced and was very drying and needs an oil based cleanser to remove it properly. I paid approximately $50.00 cdn. The most I have ever spent on a sunscreen and used it a couple of times. The fragrance was so strong I did not want to use it on arms, hands, etc. I threw out most of the bottle.
I have since discovered much better sunscreens for me. I like La Roche Posay Hydraphrase UV 30. Available from EDS as well as SDM in Canada. I also like Cliniderm spf 45 from Neostrata. This is a totally physical sunscreen and is more matt than the Hydraphrase. |

I think we have to be realistic about what we're trying to do - which is basically slow down or reverse the aging process which some would say is next to impossible.
I don't believe that any cosmetic cream will remove wrinkles or correct sagging. Most of the home-use gadgets that we are using have a limited track record and no-one really knows what their real potential (if any) is.
I've tried just about everything that I can afford, including relatively expensive laser treatments - and I have never had a totally WOW result.
However, after saying all of that I don't think I look as "old" as most of my peers - so I tell myself that something must be working. But there's no quick fix, it's important to be consistent and not give up - because time doesn't stop marching on.
It's also useless to compare our anti-aging efforts to celebrities who spend hundreds of thousands of dollars and get up to things that we can't even imagine.
So my mantra is to be realistic, be consistent and don't give up! |
