I'M 62 and my face is heading south. Just ordered "Ageless", any other suggestions?

There are lots of things that work and will turn your skin around. Just stick around.

i,ve been using 'Skin Doctors' lifting potions for a few weeks,but so far can see no visable difference....it feels like there is something happening,or it might be my imagination ????

memyself · 02-08-2010, 06:26 AM

Oh, I hear you!! Same thing happening here and I just turned 60 and everything is heading south fast. I heard that people were either saggers or sinkers, and it is looking like I am definitely a sagger too! You will discover such great and helpful advice on here. I am new to this too, so maybe we can compare notes as we go along. I have started following Goatlady's recommendations, and I do feel a change in my skin already, the texture feels smoother anyway. We shall see!

I like your suggestions. Thank you. I'm interesting in the TCA peels, but a little afraid to do them at home. Did you start at the lowest percentage? Do you think the 12.5% is okay to start with?

This lady knows her stuff!!

I am interested, though, Goatlady, what do you recommend for tightening? I know that the Vit C and Retin-C can't be beat for the wrinkles, but for the sagginess is it the same regimen?

Angel Hair · 02-08-2010, 06:14 PM

the muscle exercise are probably the only sure fire thing this side of a face lift!

thermage and titan are supposed to be good but not tried them!

After your Ageless If We Dare exercises, do Tanaka massage and you will be delighted!

goatlady · 02-15-2010, 10:32 AM

Marsha don't forget Retin A have you tried that and the C serum yet?

GoGreen · 02-15-2010, 11:38 AM

Are you looking for a therapeutic (long term) benefit or a quick fix?

Hi, I started using two products at the age of 37 (two years ago) that restored the fresh look.

1. Roc Retinal Corexion Deep Wrinkle Serum. -
The fine lines on my forehead and brow were reduced to the point of my friends asking me if I had work done. My pores appear smaller and it gives me a fresh look glow. The product started really working after about three weeks.

Down side: Bad smell (not lasting) and stinging when you first start to use it. Not drying, but you will need to use another moisturizer (I I use and recommend Olay Regenerist daily serum)

2. Ultimate Swiss Peel Chemical peel-off mask. (Ultimate Swiss Peel™ Formula
2.50 oz. bottle)

Ultimate Swiss Peel™ - CosmeSearch, Inc.

This is the best peel ever and it's only $14 a bottle. It pulls the dead layer of skin right off the surface of my face to reveal the new skin underneath. It makes me radiant and glow like I'm in my 20's. A friends dermatologist told her about swiss peel and she told me after she had been using it for about a year.

FYI- (not a downside) The texture is glue like, has a strong scent, and requires application two times a week for 30 minutes. It also pulls of the little hairs of your face.

Down side: Only available on the internet. The website looks ghetto and I honestly would not have ordered the peel if a good friend hadn't told me it was legitimate site and product.

I hope this helps,

Good luck

Vicky

VickyVan, I cant seem to find the ingredients of the Swiss peel and whats the downtime on this?

judithfk · 02-15-2010, 02:17 PM

Please tell me what ageless is. I'm 68 and falling. Otherwise my face looks pretty good. I do use Clarsonic everyday and I love it. Also RA and H
Q every other night.

VickyVan · 02-15-2010, 02:18 PM

Hi Marsha,

I've read in several different articles that Vasaline is an excellent moisturizer especially when in your 50's and 60's. In terms of lifting your skin, injectable fillers, such as Restylane® and Collagen (there a several others), are the only products that will lift. I have yet to find or hear about anything in cream or serum form that actually lifts.

Cosmetic Dermatology ? Injectable Skin Fillers and Wrinkle Treatment ? Fillers from A-Z

Ps. What is Ageless?
