I am 69 years old, when I was young I had very good skin but never took care of it. Washed my face with soap and I can tell you how bad it got. For the last year I quit soap. I use something simple wash with Total Effects at night and then I use a night cream. You should see the change. I wish I started when I was young. Even my daughters ask what I have been doing. My Mother died at 77 and she had a beautiful skin. but she used different creams
