.... and be careful accepting a "free" sample, they require a CC number and consider your asking for a free sample as consent to continue sending the product for full price.  I understand getting out of this is extremely hard, that they continue to send and send....

 

OH, and there are no miracle creams, just the miracle magic of sliding money from your purse....

I use nothing but products from my local drug store or department store and have no complaints, PLUS my CC isn't screaming at me!

And you can't wait until you at in your 50s or 60s to START good skin care.   Most of the celebrities have been in the public eye most of their adult lives, they've been using products for years.   And have had work.   I don't have a problem with anyone wanting a little lift or tuck.   But don't p*ss on my leg and tell me it's raining

      Not just that, if all that stuff worked, they'd be selling it in cosmetic surgeon's offices for hundreds and hundreds of dollars.

There are no miracle creams, lotions, serums, wipes, masks, fillers.

 

If there were there wouldn't be 5 million companies selling 10 billion of any of these things.

 

And yes if there were, it certainly would not be a discovery by any movie star, songstress, actor.

A dear friend of my Mom's told me at about age 15 to always take care of my skin.  She always used Ponds.  I just got a close up picture of her from her daughter, she's 92 now and I swear if her daughter told me her Mom was 79 I would believe her.  Her facial skin is incredible!  Woman LOL

The only miracle is beyond our control -  it's our genes.  If they're good, we have a good chance of aging well;  if not, work will help. lotions and potions will help, but I maintain nothing will do what good genes can do.

 

And if you are fortunate to have that miracle -  you have to treat it tenderly.  Sunscreen, yes.  Very controlled alcohol and smoking, goes without saying..  Healthy eating, of course.  Good exercise and sleep habits, natch.

 

And with all that, you might still need or want work, but that work never takes the place of good skincare.  In fact, the very people who do have work done probably use the best skincare routines, too.  BEST does not mean most expernsive -  it just means what works for an individual's skin.  But never assume someone who has work done eliminates the need for proper cleansing and moisturizing, and quite likely treatment products, too.

 

And if anyone thinks most of the celebs hawking any products create those products themselves, I have a bridge to sell you.  Right now it's underwater, but I guarantee I'll give you the magic words to raise it as soon as you pay me!

Whenever I see or hear the word "miracle" when it pertains to a product I just smile....
