not fair!

darlight — Wed, 20 Jun 2018 20:12:23 GMT

There are many hosts and guests that claim a product is the reaso they look younger then they are.

I am watching Amanda B on hsn and she is proud to be 75 , for that age her skin is nice, and they also commented on how young Bobby looks, but come on, you know they had something done, which is fine, but admit it!

The product may help but it is obvious many people have had work done.

I think its great we can look younger this way, I love Christie Brinkley for example, but even she had something done and she admits to having had tweeks..

I believe Christie Brinkley has had more than "tweeks". With that being said, if I had the money to have fillers, I would go for it. However, I will not buy any products from someone who has had work done on their face. Just my opinion.

Reminds me of Nicole Kidman in the Neutrogena ads. Don’t trust her.

By now common knowledge no snake oil or cream lifts the face or fills..why? Torture yourselves getting in a tizzy over what someone else says.

@darlight Christy B. has had a heck of a lot more than "Tweeks" done on her face.... she has had EVERYTHING DONE. And of course with her money she has the best surgeons money can buy.... and she was beautiful to begin with. Not everyone is so fortunate. AND Of course Christy admits to having work done as it is obvious.

With 80 year old Jane Fonda... Jane looks pretty good with all the work, She was a pretty woman to begin with and looks great for 80 with all the work done..... but it is very obvious when you see her close up that she too has had EVERYTHING done to her face to preserve it somewhat. Close up shots show everything.... But Jane will not discuss the fact that she has had work done and got very upset at an interviewer a few months back when they asked her about that. Different strokes for different folks!

I agree that it is not altogether fair. I, for one, really cannot tell, like so many of you who have more experience with procedures, whether or not someone has had extraneous face care besides topicals.

What I do know, however, is what certain topicals can do for skin, as well as knowing the function of skin.

You really do need to educate yourself before allowing your minds to fill in some of the blanks! (But not just in caring for one's skin.)

You still need 'good skin' and good skin care products even if you've had 'work done'.

I don't think Amanda has had work. I agree about the others but there's something about the texture and how her skin falls on her bone structure (face) that doesn't have that "look" of fillers, lifts, botox, etc.

Does that make sense? HER mother has great skin as well and has been very open about being terrified of any kind of surgery (which hasn't been a good thing due to health issues she's had). In their case, genetics and good skin care/good living HAS been the ticket to beautiful skin.

I had a plastic surgeon tell me that five years is the most that can be 'subtracted'. The loss of bone, fat, shifting downward due to gravity and

the decrease in elasticity of all tissues cannot be surgically

or medically compensated for. Not by Botox, fillers or surgery.

Looking good for your age is the best goal.

Sunscreen and avoidance of sun really is paramount but must

start in childhood.

Yes! And, I don't understand why I continue to read posts here by women who still don't get this. These lines aren't selling facelifts and injections. They are selling products to improve the skin texture. That's it! All you have to do, is get thru all the sales hype and figure out what works best for your skin type.

@SahmIam

Exactly! Lifestyle plays large part. Skin being our largest organ. Of course goes without saying genetics as well. Good skin benefits are also important. No one needs spending money they don't have, available quality products from high end to moderately priced. Than most important! Sun-protection. I will always recall my beloved Grandmother wearing hats never sun tanning, she was right.

Lots of times I read (sometimes right here on this board), "XXX looks great for age XX", referring to some famous older person, who apparenly looks good for her age. And it is obvious (or well known) she has had work done. Well, yeah, she looks good; she paid for it!

But she should not be held up as some example of looking good at an older age. It's artificial and not the same as looking good natually.

@SilleeMee That's my thought as well. Maybe I wouldn't trust a product that they claimed gave them the lift and no lines/wrinkles, but if it's a product to keep your skin moisturized looking healthy, then that's another story. I agree, you still need to use something for "good skin".

@SilleeMee A full facelift will take up the slack if skin is sagging, but leave wrinkles, spots, hperpigmentation, etc. still there. Good skin care still has to practiced.

Jane is not hawking skin care.

@wonderfulworld Not sure about the surgeon you spoke to. I’ve seen my share of “lifts”...up close & personal...tiny scars in front of the ears, receding hairlines w tiny scars from brow lifts, eyelid surgery that took 10 years off a hooded lid.

As far as loss of fat, that’s the purpose of fillers (adds volume back to the face) and face lifts take care of gravity/elasticity. Botox, if started young enough, keep wrinkles from forming.

With enough money, repeated surgeries (and vanity), you can stay fairly younger looking forever.

Don't you mean Jennifer Garner? She's the actress I see in the Neutrogena commercials.

Puppy Lips — Wed, 20 Jun 2018 18:26:35 GMT

Yes I saw that interview, and I side with Jane. She had already talked about her procedures after they were done. Why waste more interview time talking about that?

Re: not fair!

FLgardener — Wed, 20 Jun 2018 18:31:57 GMT

I don't give a flip about what procedures women have that want them. I don't desire them, so I have found regimens that make me feel good about my own skin.

I don't even wear makeup, yet I admire other women's well done makeup. I just don't like the way it feels on my skin. I have been told I have a certain beauty, and I've been told I should wear makeup. I do what pleases me.
