Anyone have skin care tips or info on skin care for women age 50+?

Question

I've had oily skin but it's been dry lately and espescially during the winter months. I eat right and exercise but want to avoid wrinkles and eventually age lines. I sometimes do face workouts on youtube also.

Answer 1

I agree with mukunda. Most skin care products are damaging to your skin. Not all are, but the well known ones are often quite nasty. Unfortunately the skin care industry is unregulated and there are ingredients in skin care products that you wouldn't want to know about. Some are known to cause cancer.

Here's some more interesting reading about that:

Answer 2

Crystal Peel> for an at-home microdermabrasion *use fingers & water* the exfoliation is extremely effective

Glycolic Acid face wash and serums keep skin fresh and reduces pigmenting, spots and lines.

Plumping serum>Prescriptives Line Preventor Extreme; it's oil-free

Use a good sunscreen and oil-free moisturizer like Clinique

Take a couple of vitamin C tabs per day - builds collagen and heals skin

Answer 3

Many if not most anti aging creams and products are skin harming and skin aging and can cause severe irritation, even cause acne and worse(confirm with a Google). Anything that you simply apply to skin is going to do very little, if anything at all. I have had truly remarkable success with safe, natural treatments using only essential oils and massage. They not only permanently healed my skin conditions but gave me an unbelievably flawless, healthy, young looking and vibrant skin. I am often thought to be many years younger. Daily thorough massaging with oils feed skin essential beneficial nutrients.and benefit it in countless ways. Massaging quite vigorously is even better for skin tightening and firming and giving you a vibrant, glowing skin. Don't be afraid of doing it vigorously. If done right it is only beneficial as many users on Answers will testify, There is no pulling or stretching of skin as you have to tighten face muscles in order to tighten or flex skin in the part being massaged and in doing so it exercises and conditions many of face (and some neck) muscles - thus combating weakening of muscles that eventually leads to sagging and wrinkling and lines. Massage using a forward and back motion using finger tips and front and sides of fingers depending where on face you apply it. Circular motion is less effective. In a few days skin will visibly tighten, look and feel smoother and it will start to glow. It can totally revitalize and rejuvenate skin and face. I can send you testimonials from users who swear by the treatment. Use any oil. I had great success with olive oil. Review some of my other answers for specific treatments to lessen and greatly prevent wrinkles and lines, crows feet, etc
