I've used Dr. Denese's products since the day she came on QVC. I swear by them.
My youngest daughter lives in Denver. She tells me they get an average of 300 days of some kind of sun a year. Looking young(er) runs in my family (I guess it's heredity).
My oldest daughte is 44 and will soon be 45 years old. She has no wrinkles at all and gets carded ordering even a beer. Same for the other two daughters.
Anyway, the daughter who'll soon be 37 goes to the dermatologist every year. After her first year in Colorado and seeing the Dermatologist, she said to my daughter, do you wear sunscreen? My late husband had olive skin and she does too. She's never sunburned and never bothered with sunscreen. The Dermatologist told her she needs to wear it to protect her skin. That was probably 5 or so years ago.
You could have knocked me over when this daughter said, "Mom! Send me some of the stuff you use. I'm worried about my skin". (Anyone who has older daughters knows Mom's are always told they know nothing). So I sent her the Firming Facial Pads, the sunscreen and the Hydroshield. I don't use any of the other stuff, I give it away.
She went back to the Dermatologist a few months later for something else and the Dr said, "I don't know what you've been using but it sure is making your skin look way better....what is it?"
Now she uses Dr. Denese and my oldest daughter uses it. Somehow I seem to be responsible for supplying it to my youngest daughter (Ha!) but I don't mind.
My middle daughter (soon 43) goes and gets facials, etc so as far as I know I don't know what she uses, she looks great though.
My point is all I do is wash my face with a micro-fiber cloth every morning and night (just warm water). Then I use the firming facial pads, then Hydroshield.
People tell me I definitely don't look 71. I'm not saying they say I'm pretty, I just look like a normal person, not ugly, not pretty, but I know that I don't look 71. Some of it is heredity, I know that, but I swear to you Dr. Denese makes a difference in my life.
Now my daughter in Denver can't use the sunscreen of Dr. Denese. She said it breaks out her face (I don't know what she uses). I use it and I don't have any brown spots on my face. Of course I'm not out in in the sun other than running errands, etc. I've never laid in the sun, ever. I'm sure that helps.
I recently recommended to someone here they might want to try Porcelana (sp) because I've spoken to people who've used it and said it works. If brown spots show up then I'll try it.
When people always say, "You don't look 71"! I joke and say, "Smoke and mirrors. I paint it up". I do wear makeup and I know that makes a difference.
Look at a teenager's face. Their skin is all one color, they have (mostly) pretty thick eyebrows (mostly shaped, but not thin), they have dark eyebrows (not painted on like you see on QVC sometimes).
I use eyebrow makeup that has fibers in it so it doesn't look painted or drawn on. I make them darker or else they'd have a lot of grey in them. I have to wear a wig because my hair is thin on the top. Sometimes I'll tell people if I'm with them for awhile I'll say, "This is a wig". Sometimes they'll say, "I'm not talking about your hair, I'm talking about your skin".
Phew! Can you tell I feel like Dr. Denese works really well for me. I have used an exfoliant for years, since I was maybe 20-25 years old. I used to get it at a health food store.
The most important thing I THINK you can do is stay out of the sun, use sunscreen, but get that old dead screen off of your face every morning and night. Just google how much skin you shed. It's amazing. If you don't get it off, it just stays there.
I don't have pretty skin (flawless). I have large pores but makeup makes the difference. It's funny because I hear that from men and women.
So many women that say that don't take a few minutes to put on some makeup when they go out. It's not brain surgery, it's just like I say, "smoke and mirrors".
I do it for me. When my husband died (he was the love of my life, 38 years married). I decided to continue living my life the way I wanted to (like always). Enjoy every minute, smile (no one wants to hear your boo hoo's) and keep going.
