Psssssst...all older ladies in here...
 

Hi , I'm at that age now where I'm just falling apart . Told myself when I was younger I was'nt going to be like " those old women " well guess what? Thats right... I'm one of "those old women" I need help! I need names of good wrinkle creams and a fading cream that works! Getting old is fine but I want to look the best I can for being the age I am. Thanks

A GOOD PLASTIC SURGEON :D:D:D

IF only I could afford it I'd BE THERE

I do think Nuetrogena makes a fade cream - there's several I've seen - and as far as a good cream - I know the Arbonne line is very good and there's a member that sells it here -

Too late for me...I already fell apart...:p

I'm past the point of no return!!!

I don't know of a good fade crream/wrinkle remover, however, I would suggest a good diet, drink lots of water, gt plenty of exercise, and an adequate amount of rest.

Boy, I'm no fun....

I would too but then again I would probably be to scared. I watch that stuff on T.V.....OUCH....

You might not be any fun but bet you are pretty! ...smile...((can"t get my smiley face to work))

Thats such a sweet thing to say about your mom. Thats what I want to do grow old gracefully.

Thats how I feel sometime but was hoping there is a miracle cream out there some where that actually does what it says it does.

You are funny....

I'd be there in a second, my nose needs fixing and my jaw needs to be broken and put back together...but I'll need to save some money first. LOL Maybe I'll have it done by the time I'm 80 LOL

I'm a believer in aging gracefully.......which means I'm fighting father time every day.:D

I've tried over-the-counter fade creams and they just don't cut it for me. (I've spent way, way too much time in the sun.:rolleyes: ) I went to a plastic surgeon's office/medical spa and bought prescription strength fade cream which contains hydroquinone and retin A. It will lighten freckling/sun damage but for serious sun damage you may have to get a laser treatment. I've had one laser treatment and it made a big difference. I eventually plan on going back for more but gotta save the money first.:rolleyes:

As far as wrinkles, people swear by La Mer cream. It's expensive it at $125 for 1 oz or 16.5 oz for $1350!!:eek: I've never used it. I do use sunscreen every day, drink lots of water, remove my makeup every night, and use a moisturizer when my skin feels dry. :)

Pssssst...all older ladies in here./
 

GF, you are not old yet, I am 64 today, my sister is 77. What are you going to feel like when you are OLD???:confused:

Oh, this is good news. I've used Oil of Olay for ever because it's so light. Perhaps Im on the right track! lol

I have decided that after years of coloring my hair, I'm going to bite the bullet and accept the gray. My hair will look healthier, as the color destroys it (I have fine hair). At least I'll have good skin, right? :D

Oh, I hear ya! I will turn 50 this year, and I feel more like 80 most days. I have health issues, which doesn't help. Menopause doesn't help either grrrrr. I have found that exercise, proper diet, and drinking lots of water helps you feel soooo much better. I'm limited in what I can do for exercise right now, but walking is one of the best things you can do. In fact, I had a bone scan a few years ago which showed I had osteopenia....then it went to full blown osteoperosis. My dr. told me to do weight bearing exercise, especially walking! So, I started walking and I was able to reverse the damage, along with taking Calcium with Vitamin D (important that you have BOTH together). I no longer have osteoperosis!!:)

Ok, I got sidetracked.....it happens when senility kicks in.:rolleyes:

Neutrogena makes some really good facial creams.

Its funny to think about now. But, I use to think why mom and dad and all other older people seemed to talk about was high blood pressure, cholesdrol, blood sugar etc. I thought couldn't they think of something else to be interested in. Well, guess who is talking about blood pressure, and all the other aches and pains now. lol!!! I have always heard too that some to the cheaper creams etc. are just as good as the expensive ones. Hdyrdration is what important. Stay out of the sun and Witch Hazel makes an excellant asraingent.

That is the nicest thing I have read on here. Kudos to you.

and a hug to your mom.

ooh ooh ooh! Are we starting a charity collection for plastic surgery? I WANT IN!!!!!!! and then we can all go together!:D I need to have this extra baby I've been carrying around for 13 years cut off, let's see..........maybe trade my boobs for some butt?

Hey... I am six days OLDER than you.... but I look and feel OK... most people think my 3 year old granddaughter is MY daughter!! ;)

Wear sunblock!!.... and use lotion EVERYWHERE!!

WOW... ok so what kind of lotion do you use? lol

I am now 50 something...and it's starting to take it's toll. So I too am open for suggestions. I drink nothing but water and skim milk...so I don't need to be hydrated. But I am fair skinned...I've endured many years of freckles and sunburns in hopes of getting a tan...wrong thing for me to have done...but too late now. The damage is there, I just need to slow down the process.

If there was a miracle creme we would all be into that. But I have found its hard to fight what is coming. You have to smile and realize its not the spring chick she was a few years ago. Oh and how my bones and body feel older than I am everyday. Good luck with the search for the miracle!!!!

:lol tears That is SO true!!! I can remember taking my grandma shopping, and she would run into someone she knew, and it would be like "well ya know, he has had problems with high blood pressure and I'm on heart medication"....I would be like :rolleyes::rolleyes: Can we go home now??? I was probably 19 at the time.

I ran into the mother of one of my son's friends at the store a few months ago, and we talked about our aches and pains and how much it sucks getting old lol

:thumbup::thumbup: Reminds me of my sweet Mother! We lost her at 90 in 2006 and she, too, always used Oil of Olay. Her frangrance was "Estee" and it brings tears to my eyes when I smell it now. It's odd though, when I smell Oil of Olay, I feel happy and comforted and it will always remind me of her! ;) Her skin, even at 90, was so soft and smooth, like a babys!

I have found the most amazing skin care products. I have tried EVERYTHING on the market. Including the more expensive from department stores. I tried to like Estee Lauder. Nope. I used Jaffra for a bit and tried to be encouraged. Then I accepted the fact that it wasn't for me. I moved on to Mary Kay. Then, in desparation, on to Avon (because my daughter was selling it :rolleyes:)....and every product in between all of those.

I am allergic to mineral oil and anything with that in it causes me to break out so badly with little blisters that I have to use steroid cream to clear it up. Then, all the skin on my face dies and falls off. :cry: I finally gave up. :(

My face is dry in spots, so bad that it 'flakes' and I couldn't even use soap without having a bad reaction. A friend once gave me a bar of soap that was made from goats milk and I did like it more than any other I had tried, but she couldn't remember where she got it. It was one of those 'made at home' soaps.

Last week, I decided to try something that a friend recommended to me. I wasn't really expecting good results. Just an 'okay....I will try this one more time' thing. And now...OH MY GOSH! It is marvelous.

I love the soap. No tight dry feeling. The cleansing oil is so wonderful! The toner is amazing and the moisturizer is a dream.:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

If anyone is interested, let me know. I am just so very ecstatic with these products. Maybe now, I will actually be able to try some new make-up. Haven't been able to wear it because of all the problems I was having with just daily skincare problems. I was too afraid of make-up. Now I think I am going to go with Bare Minerals since my skincare problems have been solved. I am just happy, happy, happy! :);):D:p

im having a HUGE sale on chins!!!!!! I have 3 to sell.....am willing to deal in fact I will give them away to the first 3 lucky takers!!

I also have a baby belly that should have been sold years ago like 19 to be precise, that one I will pay YOU to take!

Ladies! Start your bidding war!!!!!!


:p

Oil of Olay works for small lines(for me neways) I have a really bad habit that contributes to a lot of small lines and wrinkles and Oil of Olay products works the best. Seems like when I hit 40 (almost 45 now)everything fell apart; eye sight, bulging disc, early peri-menopause, wrinkles, weight gain....blech!!

oh yes, how could I forget stage 1 Melanoma..I also tried Botox once...too expensive but have friends that are addicted to it...but look great
