A dermatologist once told me, "the secret to good skin is simple, don't smoke, but do sweat". Sweat has been reviled by women who think it unseemly or yucky, but the skin loves it. It makes the pores 'breathe'. So your brisk walks, once they are safe for your back, will help. I use Avene products and like them very much.Duchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986153653120526776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-38816742222087966032012-04-03T11:56:30.636-07:002012-04-03T11:56:30.636-07:00Dear Hostess, I hope that your back is no longer h...Dear Hostess, I hope that your back is no longer hurting.(Those lipsticks look good enough to cheer anyone up!)

There is true wisdom there. As someone a few years older than yourself I really take it to heart.<br />What a shame about Fiona and her "How to Be Chic" blog. It was a truly lovely blog written by a delightful lady. I shall miss it and have to rely on you and Janet (at Gardener's Cottage) for my regular blog infusion of optimism, beautiful images, great recipes and sensible style.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17068515790904875972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-44144409016641637712012-04-03T02:42:51.186-07:002012-04-03T02:42:51.186-07:00While I was at my doctors today, She is also a ski...While I was at my doctors today, She is also a skin doctor, I had a redness come all over my face and ears and she said I looked very rosaceaish, I've never had it, but she prescribed doctor strength Vitamin c serum, day and night ones, to "switch it off". She also put me onto some other creams, neostrata to help with the fine lines around my eyes, but also said that really Botox will be the only way to smooth them out. Um no thanks, I'm pretty against it- on me! I don't care about anyone else having it! I'm the same as you am overweight and it's plumped out the wrinkles, but now, losing weight and being a bit older I can see a little one- but only one! I've done the Catherine deneurve(?) bit and chosen my face over my derriere. Hint for the lips, rub your eye cream on them too after you've done your eyes, works really well for me!!Mummaduckahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10538993178188989025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-76679939273239155482012-04-02T22:51:06.052-07:002012-04-02T22:51:06.052-07:00Always sound advice and always with so much optimi...Always sound advice and always with so much optimism in your words.

The most you can do is to help the texture and glow of your skin, and maybe some fine lines. I do use serums with Vitamin C in them, and also occasionally Retin A. My skin is not very sensitive, so I love the Clarisonic and believe in exfoliation (for me)- it really does help my skin "turn over" new cells and even out my skin tone. But aging and gravity....<br />Your vegetables look delicious and that's great that you have the stainless water container and aren't drinking from the plastic bottles, which I have been guilty of lately, out of sheer laziness!

Maybe this time, after Easter of course.<br /><br />I had similar thoughts to you about skin regards 'giving up'. We aren't meant to be tight and shiny as we age. I was reading an article about Dame Judi Dench and her skin in the photos was very wrinkled but beautiful. She looked happy within herself. I remember older family members having the same skin and I always loved how soft it was.<br /><br />I'll be printing this post out, and also trying your roasted veges for a quick lunch salad.

There is some interesting and frightening research that shows its link to heart disease and cancer. <br /><br />Have you tried fruit acids on your skin before? I had awful results with it. My esthetician advised against any skin care products with fruit so now I steer clear. <br /><br />Too bad about Fiona...still holding out hope that someday she will change her mind.

I tint my eyebrows, use a bit of colour to my lashes each morning, a bit of blush and then Revlon long-lasting colour with Climatik over it for moisture. <br />I do find that using cream with SPF is great, but one can get a bit 'pale' looking, so now and then I do spend about a half hour in the yard working without any SPF! Also get my Vit. D too, but I take Vit D each morning.<br />Still awaiting the CT scan. Have a good week! It is very wet and windy here this morning.<br />PegAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
