If you're age 20 or over you should be following a disciplined skin regimen for both day and night if you want to preserve the elasticity and collagen in your skin. The bad news is if you skip skin care you will pay for it in your forties with dry, sagging skin that is prone to wrinkles. The good news is, every year there are more and more innovative skin products and treatments coming out to prevent wrinkles, moisturize and minimize pores. While we can't permanently reverse the effects of aging, we will look a zillion times better in our senior years than any previous generation. At least, I plan to.
I use a LOT of stuff on my face but this is my routine at the moment. If you have a different skin type than normal or have allergic considerations, don’t despair…there are skin type options of every product line listed here. You only have to ask your pharmacy cosmetician to recommend one for you. They are more than happy to help. Don’t forget to ask for a sample.
Neo- Strata – GH Serum
A facial serum containing growth hormone. This is an excellent product. Love it. Immediate tightening effect. Iridescent pearl formula absorbs quickly. Priced reasonably.
Declaré Caviar Perfection
This Swiss company makes awesome skin products derived from caviar and they give amazing results. I use this on top of the Neo Strata GH Serum at night.
Lancôme
Absolue Precious Pure Sublime Cleansing Foam
What can I say? It is absolutely sublime. Ask your cosmetician for a sample. Can be massaged into the face and left on for awhile for added benefit. When I wake up, my skin looks almost airbrushed. Very pricey but worth it if you can afford it.
Night Routine
Absolue Sublime Oleo Serum
A fabulous skin serum, this one gives FANTASTIC results. It is part of my night routine. When I use this I wake up looking 10 years younger. Seriously. Pricey but worth it. I use it as my 3rd layer on top of the NeoStrata GH Serum and Declaré Caviar Serum.
Absolue Eye – Precious Cells – Repairing and Rejuvenating Eye Cream
A deep moisturizing eye cream. Eyecreams are like a religious rite for me since I was sixteen years old. Day and night;
Absolue Precious Cells – Advanced Regenerating and Reconstructing Cream, Extra Rich
I use this during the coldest winter months on top of the Oleo Serum.
Lancôme – Absolue Nuit – Ultimate Night Serum
A rich, thick night serum. Moisturizes thirsty skin deeply and repairs overnight for a more youthful complexion.
Day Routine
Ré energie Lift Multi Action – Lifting and Firming Cream
This is a great day cream from Lancome. It has a sunblock of SPF 15 with the added benefits of lifting and firming.
Génefique Yeux
Youth Activating Eye Cream – This is a nice, light eye cream for day that borders on a serum. Absorbs quickly so you can put your undereye make up on.
Shiseido White Lucent
At last I have finally found an eye cream that really removes black circles under the eyes. This one actually lives up to it’s claim. In fact, it works so well, I’ve ditched most of my undereye concealers. Use it twice a day, morning and night, under your usual eye cream and stop looking like Lurch the butler from the Addams Family. Although if you overdo this product you can also look like Casper the ghost.
