I think good genes and skincare help. I am 55 and do not have 1 wrinkle on my face. My neck is good too. Now I have been wearing Sunscreen on my face and neck for about 20 years. I wear it everyday. Now that I am older many people ask me what I use on my face. I always say I have been wearing sunscreen for years. I also have always kept my skin hydrated and the skin around my eyes also. My sister is 5 years older than me and she has wrinkles. She has not done well in keeping her skin hydrated. She had wrinkles when she was my age. In fact, the mentioned that she was upset because Mary Kay stopped making her skin cream that she was using for the past 20 years. I did not have the heart to tell her that technology has changed so that is probably why they discontinued it. She will not listen to me. I gave her container of Skinn Collagenese 24 hour cream and she laughed at me because I bought it from TV. I told her don't knock it until you try it.

I have several brands of pure Argon oil and I still think Hydroshield is best.

If it's the "accidental model", I'm sure it's her genes, however skincare helps too. She uses that model for every single argan presentation. It annoys me to watch her speed through the presentation like she's a miracle in a bottle, but anyway...

I like some of the Sig A Club Argan products, I have the night capsules, day cream, eye stick and a few others from a kit they offered and I like them all. The night capsules smell nice, and they day cream is unscented, the eye stick which you can use anywhere including the eyes and lips, it has a slight vanilla scent. I like what I've used.

I have Josie's Argan oil and butters and love them, my skin is so soft and smells so good with them and I am in my late 60's and I have been told I look younger. I think everyone should give them a try. The cold winter has made so many peoples skin dry this year. Stay warm and use what ever helps your skin stay full of moisture. I use the oil and put socks on and my feet feel good with that too.

I think the model basically has good genes which account for probably 90% of her beautiful skin. She also doesn't have a sun spot anywhere on her face/neck/chest which is also genetic (some people just never freckle) and possibly a lifetime of sunscreen. The argan oil helps I'm sure to keep her moist but if you don't look like her in the first place I don't think you will end up line free and spot free. I use sunscreen and various serums/moisturizers religiously but I have freckles/sunspots all over. I'm working on the ones on the sides of my face but it would be a long daily process to do my whole body. Grew up with the "Irish Suntan'- burn, freckle and peel!

I totally agree. Yes @ 54, I have wrinkles, sun spots and a little sagging. I have been using skincare for 25 years. Before that I went in the sun in the summer. Oh, well I lived and had fun down the Jersey shore !

I use Josie Marans Argon oil and the Milk. I also use SCA argon oil I love the capsules and the eye serum and her day cream.

I do think genes are a big part of how skin ages as well as lifestyle.

Genes play the biggest role in your young looks. However, I am glad that all these oils have been brought to our attention. I am loving Marula oil & use it daily. I also have argan and maracuja oil on hand.
