Now it's about wrinkles

[Chile Pepper]

I live in a really dry climate, so my skin gets that papery look to it if I'm not careful (and I'm only 46!). I also have rosacea, which is fun (not). I hate the feeling of sunscreen on my face, but I do try to use it if I'm going to be out and about. I use Clinique moisturizers now that they have a redness line, but otherwise I don't do anything special. Except bangs. I used to wear my hair pulled back, which was not especially flattering on my aging face. I cut my hair about a year ago, and I love it. Better than Botox!

This + the gray thread= too much .
I have horrible laugh lines. I feel like that's all you can see on my face, especially when I put my helmet on. I have to say, I've had them for awhile, so not totally age related. Both parents had them, too. Can you say dermal filler?
I really don't have a lot of other wrinkles and no saggy chin skin, etc. I use #70 sun block on my face and started using # 30 almost 30 years ago. Living in the Sun Belt made me more aware of skin cancer. I use Clinique "Deep Wrinkle" moisturizer, both day and night versions. Started using Cetaphil 26 years ago, just recently switched to Purpose, as the I found out Cetaphil has parabens. I still get zits, at age 57!

I'll trade you a saggy chin & jowls for your laugh lines. My mother and both her parents have/had terrible "turkey necks". They were all overweight, which made matters much worse, but I'm starting to get one too despite being quite slender. Boy, do I hate the sagging skin, and if money were no object and my DH weren't vehemently opposed, I'd probably get a lower face lift and just be done with it. But, that's not going to happen so I'll just have to deal. I have lines around my eyes/mouth too, but the saggy skin is much more of an issue for me. I haven't done any kinds of fillers, botox, chemical peels, or laser treatments. I'm pretty much an au naturel kinda gal, but I have two close friends who have had facial plastic surgery, and they look really good, not fake at all.

This part of aging does suck! The wiseness part helps, though.
