If you are under ...33....do you use any "preventative" magic potions?

I am getting saggy skin on my eyelids and my under-eye area needs some tightening.

My hands are also starting to look aged, too.

I'd like to start an anti-age routine soon, rather than later.

Please tell me your favorite products to use.

Even though I am prego, give me retinols, too..I can buy them after I pop this sucker out.

I have been moisturizing my face and hands since I was 18 years old. I like Lancome products.

Well, i just discovered THE most amazing line of products ever: Perricone MD

It's fracking unbeleavable! It is however, VERY expensive...

I bought a few small size limited edition products during Sephora's F&F sale, but unfortunately, I just do not see myself replenishing that supply when I run out...

My grandmother uses "Orlane" products for years her face is flawless...it is super $$$ the day I can afford it I am going to use it.

Re: If you are under ...33....do you use any "preventative" magic potions?

Nah, I'm banking on good genes, a sh*tload of sunscreen and regular moisturizing . - I use aquaphor under my eyes and purpose on my face - I refuse to spend obscene amounts of money on some kind of supposed 'miracle' creme

My Grandmother was 94 when she died and didn't have a wrinkle to be found ...........

Re: If you are under ...33....do you use any "preventative" magic potions?

I just started using Genefique by Lancome and I already started noticing a difference. The AD claimes better looking skin in 7 days which I just at because I really didn't believe it, but it does. I use the eye cream and the youth serum. If you get the serum you use your own moisturizer and or that I am using the orginal Oil of Olay. If you get the youth concentrate cream it has the serum in it already so it is one step. The the cream to foam cleanser. My skin isn't really dry anymore and it looks heathy.

As far as sagging eye lids, mine are not tight at all and I think that is just part of genetics. My mother was just complaining about that and my grandmother has the same thing.

I use Cindy Crawfords Meaningful Beauty regimen. I saw it on TV one nite when i was up late with DS as a newborn. Its very gentle & non irritating and my skin feels nice in the morning after using the nite cream.

I also use a dove lotion with SPF under my make up.

Perricone is awesome stuff, but expensive. I used to use an acne concealer that was awesome!

i find that the heavier i am, the more it fills out wrinkles, so i am investing in cookies.

Re: If you are under ...33....do you use any "preventative" magic potions?

my mom and aunts swear by Oil of Olay.. they have been using it for the longest time.. and they look fabulous.. I plan on using it plus the Regenerist from Jan 1.

I've been using a skin regiment since I was a teenager. Now that I'm 31 I've added more products. I use a gentle face cream for washing like Garnier Nutrioniste Moisture Rescue Fresh Foaming Cleanser. 2x a week I use Clinique 7 day scrub cream (exfoliator)


Following my wash, I use a non alcohol based toner like one from Artistry or the Neutrogena alcohol free.

Creams: I use Clinique Youth Surge SPF 15 for dry to very dry skin (they have for all types of skin), at night I use Clinique Repairwear Intensive Eye Cream

In the morning I use Clinique All About Eyes Rich.
I definitely see a huge difference since using both eye creams. I've always had good, young, fresh looking skin because I've always taken care of it.

Re: If you are under ...33....do you use any "preventative" magic potions?

Truthfully, I think it has more to do with genetics, sunscreen and your water intake, more than any kind of miracle cream.

I get compliments on my skin almost every day and I use nothing - absolutely nothing, other than a bar of dove soap, lots of water everyday and sunscreen during the summer months. I am also very careful about eating healthy, which I think is a contributing factor for the health of your skin.

At the end of the day, I'm also nervous to put a cream on my face everyday without knowing EXACTLY what's in it - I'm so worried about clogging my pores with unknown toxins that will do me more harm than good.

Philosophy...The When Hope is Not Enough line.

Re: If you are under ...33....do you use any "preventative" magic potions?

i use Oil of Olay complete everyday... i am looking for a good under eye treatment, these dark circles are kicking my a$$ and i hate the way they look! I just started trying Garnier undereye roller, lets see how that goes!

I am going to be 33 on Thursday... I have always been told to have a youthful appearance, and I use basic face cleanser and moisturizer that is suitable for my skin (the brand I use I have liked so far and it has worked for me but many people do not like it) I am not good at drinking a lot of water but I don't wear a lot of makeup especially on my eyes and I think that has helped. I do think that now its the time to start looking into products that focus on anti -aging and luckily I was just chosen to participate as a tester for self magazine and the product category I am doing is eye serum. I received a total of five different products among them Cindy Crawford's Meaningful beauty eye serum, Elizabeth Arden's prevage anti-aging serum. I am very excited as I hope to find my new go to product among these, and if you want I can report back about my finding as well.

Just started on Murad Resurgance products and I see a difference already.
Good stuff!

Nah, you can't go by that! Asian women's skin just generally can't be compare to the rest of us-they have no pores, ever, and they don't get wrinkles till they are like 90!

Bare Essentials has a firming eye cream that helps with the sagging around the eyes. I never thought to use this, but my company manufactures it and I got one as a sample and tried it out... and you can literally FEEL the difference. I love it and now use it daily.

I also use Oil of Olay regenerist moisturizer daily. I use it as a base for my makeup so that I dont forget to apply it everyday (and it helps my makeup go on smoother). I'm 26 and have been using this for the past few years and I've noticed a huge difference in my skin.

For your hands, try Jergens firming lotion. It has a tint in it to make you look slightly tanner. It says you notice a difference in your firmeskin within 7 days, which I thought was cr@p, but I actually DID notice a difference. It reduces the appearance of cellulite as well, so I use it on my legs and arms.
