I have been researching, studying and sampling skin care products steadily for several years now. I am 42 years old with light sensitive skin. In the last six months, I have discovered two products in particular, that used together have dramatically helped my skin. Before trying these products - I was introduced to similar products by my dermatologists. I decided to try different products that you could find at the drugstore. Some of these products I threw out after a month of no results. But now I believe I have found the products! Andrea Wrinkle Release Daily Rebuilding Serum with Matrixyl. I put this on morning and night after I use Neutrogena's excellent facial wash that also removes makeup with out leaving the skin dry (Visibly Even Foaming Cleanser with Soy). Then I use Body Fantasies Advanced Skin Science Facial Wrinkle repair & stretch Mark Treatment. Next I use a moisturizer with SPF.
Results (observed by submitter):
It has been 4 months and everyone is commenting on the looks of my skin. I put make up on over the trio and never look caked or gooey. I am very happy. I have a lot more to tell about other products but will do later. Hope the above helps.
Costs involved:
Product Purchase less than $35

This is a simple but effective method of ensuring that your skin is radiant and pore free before a night out. Simply purchase some regular aqueous cream from a pharmacy and a few nights before the event (not the actual night) smother your face in the cream. This is done at night after a shower. You will notice that your skin will "drink" the cream up. Your skin becomes noticeably plump and smooth for a few dys afterwards. This is only a boost and is not something you should do to regularly as you can block pores and cause spots. Any cream not absorbed after 5 minutes should be wiped off using a clean piece of cotton wool.
Ingredients:
A pot of aqueous cream, unperfumed.
Results (observed by submitter):
The appearance of skin improves, less redness and smaller pores. Dry spots vanish temporarily and the skin takes make-up much more easily (for girls...well..mostly).

Nightly cleansing routine

Each night before bed I condition my face by gently wiping a mineral or almond oil, or combination of both over my face (even the eye area) using a soaked cotton square. This removes all makeup and dirt. Next is a face wash with organic soap and a clean white washcloth. The water should be tepid, not too hot. I then follow with an organic moisturizer and moisturize again in the morning. Be sure not to pull on the skin when cleansing. My skin is smooth and blemish free and I'm 66 years old!

My friend gave me this beauty tips about Epsom Salt a couple of months ago and I love them. Epsom Salt is mineral compound (Magnesium Sulfate) that absorbs quckly through the skin and can be used to improve your beauty. USES and RECEPIES: 1) To exfoliate skin: Mix two cups of Epsom Salt and 1/4 cup of petroleum jelly. Add four drops of lavender essential oil (or any other essential oil that you like) to give a good aroma. Apply the mixture to your skin and gently scrub. You can also rub Epsom Salt into your body after taking a shower to exfoliate old skin cells. 2) For a facial: Mix 1/2 teaspoon of Epsom Salt into a deep cleansing cream. Massage the mixture onto your skin. Leave it for 20 minutes and then rinse with cold water. 3) To help with your pedicure: Soften your feet by soaking them in a bathtub with warm/hot water and Epsom Salt for 20 + minutes. The salt helps to smoothen, relax and refresh your feet.
Ingredients:
Epsom Salt and essential oils.

It really worked for me as a skin exfoliator. I also like a lot to mix the salts in a bath tub and add a couple of drops of eucaliptus essential oil to relax.

Baby oil is not just for babies. After a shower while you are still damp, smooth on Johnston's Baby Oil Gel (I have used other brands but this brand is thick) on your body. Pay close attention to elbows, legs and feet. In the winter I put the oil on my feet, put on white socks, and sleep in it all night. I have trouble with the tips of my finger cracking in the winter and the gel also helps prevent this. I strongly recommend the gel and not the oil as it is far less messy and does a better job.

Apply Refined Emu Oil and a moist warm cloth to your face for about 5 minutes. This application is similar to a hot oil treatment for your hair. The heat helps keep the Emu oil fully liquefied, allowing extra penetration deep into the layers of skin. By following this tip you will soon begin to feel the difference in your skin; wrinkles should begin diminishing and skin will become very soft, smooth and supple. It also penetrates down through all 7 layers of skin and helps with new cell proliferation. The moisturizer works because the Emu Oil in the formula pulls the other things into the skin where it forms a moisture barrier. It seals the skin to maintain the body's natural moisture yet keeps the irritants away for the skin.
How to prepare:
Apply Refined Emu Oil and a fresh moist warm cloth to your face for about 5 minutes.
How to use:
Shake emu oil well and apply generously on face. The moist cloth warms the oil to help with penetration.

helped to thicken and replenish my skin to reduce wrinkles and signs of aging. My age spots and wrinkles have become nearly unnoticeable and my skin has a much more youthful appearance.

Over cleaning with cleansers and scrubs can create more blemishes. Being gentle with the skin is better. The skin does need some oils. If you clean all oils then more will be produced and clog pores. Finding the right balance for your own skin is key. If you are still getting blemishes and have no medical reason for this then try a gentle cleanser in the morning and if your skin feels dirty or oily through the day just wash it with water. At night you can use your regular, harsher cleanser. This will not cost you any extra to try but i assure you within a month your blemishes will improve.
