Hi I am a 46 year old woman in recovery and I love my skincare!! I have just recently started using the products and tools and have fallen in love!! I absolutely love trying new products and seeing how they work for me. I have combination skin and am looking for anti aging and plumper more hydrated skin , smaller pores and glass skin . I wanna look like I'm young again lol but no high expectations haha 😅
Welcome in the forever young club 😂
47 and 4.5 years in recovery! Congrats! Skin care is my thing now too!
Welcome, I too love skincare and trying new products. Reading up on ingredients and their benefits.
Have you ever ventured into Eminence products. They do exactly what they say they they do on the bottle. Their products are 100% active ingredients so no water or fillers added. You apply them with water dampened hands and freshly mist your face with their toners...you'd premix any premoisture serums do the toner doesn't evaporate. But be warned at 46 anti aging lines are likely to break you out. They are intended for pretty mature skin ( I tried it in my late 30s and ended up using it entirely on my books and under arms lol but it worked great!) Then I switched their stone crop line which is more for repair. I'm also in recovery so I'd suggest you start with repair & resurface products maybe even a peel‐ Eminence has peels that are just amazing ‐ keep in mind the peel received by an esthetician is of higher potency than when a non professional buys a jar for home use. I'm a massage therapist and have years of experience and understanding when using high grade botanical extracts and essential oils less is more. Now as a fellowaddict in recovery that concept can be skewed depending on where you are in your program. So if you obtain the professional products follow directions for measurements to the letter, and recommendations such as use spf or avoid sun when using retinol etc or only peel 1x per week the consequences can be pretty... well not pretty. Glad to see you are focusing your energy on something healthy, for me I had to be careful not to let it just become another obsession. All the mixing and measuring and weighing well you get it ;) I suck checking my emails and responses and I just had to get a new phone so it's extra bad right now. I'm brand new to this forum but I'll be back I'm a label nazi- if I can't pronounce it usually buh bye but thus is showing me some of those words are just the technical or Latin or isolate term and maybe not so bad.
*boobs not books lol
