Facial wrinkle reduction & firming

Details:
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

Preventing wrinkles with sticking-plaster
2 Comments Published by 2eroSeven on Friday, January 2, 2009 at 5:50 PM.
Details:
If you have the inclination to frown so that you get a wrinkle between your eyebrows, you can make yourself aware of this by sticking a small piece of plaster between your eyebrows. Or maybe even on your forehead. When you frown unaware you feel the plaster move which will warn you that you have to relax your face muscles. Of course don't do this outside or when you have company of others (maybe except your family; my husband was used to it). You will learn to get aware of frowning and your face muscles will get used to being relaxed.
Ingredients:
Sticking plaster
Results (observed by submitter):
Ten years ago I had a wrinkle between my eyebrows because I always frowned. Now that I have learned to relax those muscles, you can hardly see this wrinkle any more.

Olay Perfecting Cream vs. Kinerase Test
0 Comments Published by 2eroSeven on Friday, September 12, 2008 at 10:35 PM.
I wanted to try Olay Regenerist Perfecting Cream after it won the anti-wrinkle treatment award in a leading magazine. It's active ingredient is pentapeptides. To see if it really worked I applied it to only 1/2 of my face and I applied Kinerase lotion to the other 1/2 of my face. After 3 days I asked two friends if they saw any difference in either side of my face. Both of the friends picked the Olay side immediately. I've been using the Olay Perfecting cream for 2 weeks now and my skin is smoother, softer, less blotchy, my wrinkles are less noticeable, and I no longer have flaky patches.
Kinerase Lotion used to be my anti-wrinkle treatment and I believe that it also works. The difference is that it may take longer to see results and it's effect on my skin was an overall healthy glow rather than the specific immediate results I got with Olay Perfecting Cream. What remains to be known is which product would produce better long-term effects. It is also interesting to note that when I tested Olay Regenerist Eye Lifting Serum vs. Kinerase Intensive Eye Cream, the Kinerase did a better job at hydrating and minimizing wrinkles in the eye area and reducing dark circles.

Rinse face with 30 splashes
0 Comments Published by 2eroSeven on Sunday, January 6, 2008 at 11:49 PM.
When I was 12 years old I picked up a booklet in the supermarket - back when we had them - which told women how to prevent wrinkles.
The main requirement stated that after washing the face, at least twice a day, rinse the face with warm and then cool water for a total of 30 splashes.
For me it meant a thoroughly hydrated face to which moisterizers could lock in the water plumping the cells.
At 41, and with no crows feet, just a few fine line when I smile, this is the most important ritual in my cleansing process. And, it ensures all cleansing products and deadskin trapped in the cleansing products are removed so that treatments and serums are more effective

Natural Exfoliant + Wrinkle Reduction
1 Comments Published by 2eroSeven on Wednesday, December 5, 2007 at 8:54 PM.
Details:
Combine about a half a cup of whole milk and some fresh lemon juice. Just mix it together with your finger. The mild will get little condensed. Apply on your face and neck, probably over a sink as this is pretty liquid. Then lay down for about 20 - 25 min and let it dry out. You will feel the mask tightening as it dries out. Lemon with its acidity provides natural enzymatic exfoliation plus it contains the vitamin C that reduces wrinkles and milk contains the lactic acid that also benefits skin.
Ingredients:
Milk and lemons
Results (observed by submitter):
Skin looks fresh, rejuvenated, cleaned, younger, wrinkles under the eyes are less visible.

Cheap Non Surgical Facelift

I'm surprised you don't seem to sufficiently cover nonsurgical, electro-stimulation based facelifts on your site. I have been having it monthly for 10 years and my skin is in excellent condition with very few wrinkles for a 58 year old. I have it done in the beauty salon of our local college where the (supervised) students get a chance to perfect their technique. I have never had problems with this and it reduces the cost by at least 50%.
It involves using electrical impulses, along with a collagen based conductive gel, to tone the muscles of the face, to increase blood flow and to encourage the collagen moisturizer to be absorbed.
I find that if for any reason I stop having it for a couple of months, (e.g when the college closes for summer), my skin gets dry and rough, (despite moisturizing) and soon improves dramatically after a couple of treatments.
It's difficult to say if it has kept the facial muscles toned all these years as there is no way of knowing what I'd have looked like without it, but I am often told how youthful I look and my face is not very 'saggy', my jaw line still pretty firm for my age. My skin DEFINITELY benefits hugely.
So contact your local college where they run a beauty course and see if they offer this. Sometimes you can even be a case study for a student for their assessments and it's even cheaper then.

Right before I go to bed I cleanse and tone my face and neck. I then use a spritz bottle to spray a fine mist of water on my face and neck. I immediately apply any night treatments and moisturizer over the water before it evaporates or dries. I do basically the same thing in the morning before I apply makeup. I spray my face and then apply day treatments and day moisturizer while my face is still damp. I also invested in a humidifier for my house as I live in a dry climate. If you cannot afford to add a humidifier to your heating/cooling system I recommend using smaller room humidifiers or placing containers of water around your residence. The evaporating water will add moisture to the air. People who live in damp climates may not need this extra moisture but I live in West Texas and have great skin for the dry climate. I am 55 going on 56 and always get compliments on the lack of wrinkles I have for my age.
Everyone tells me that I do not look my age and that I have great skin. The sales personnel at Lancome and Estee Lauder always tell me my skin has few wrinkles. My hairdresser tells me the same thing. I visited a dermatologist for skin care recommendations and she also told me my skin is in great shape for my age.
