Tingly fresh skin

by

I’m having a night in – it seems. My husband is out of town tonight. Well – he should be home any minute, but who knows.

To keep myself occupied, and to take care of my skin I decided to give myself an at home facial. I gave myself a facial massage, and then I followed it up with a facial mask for 15 minutes.

Ah – that feels good. My skin is tingly and fresh. Oh and squeaky clean. Then, to top things off I followed my facial up with a good moisturizer. Now as I wait for my husband to get home I’m reading about wrinkle creams and treatments. If you want you can learn more by reading this site too.

Now if my husband ever gets here we can watch Glee! I hope he’s not too tired when he gets home.

Gotta take care of your skin

by



Sometime in March I went on a mission to take better care of my skin. I’d gotten lazy in the past year or so and had pretty much stopped using moisturizer and well .. a few months ago I took a good look at my skin and decided I’d better start using moisturizers again and fast!


Ok it wasn’t that bad … I have fairly nice skin, but if I don’t take care of it, it won’t be nice for long – right?

So I went on a hunt for an anti wrinkle cream that suited my skin type and I’ve been using it regularly for the last three months.

What a difference! My skin looks fresh and well .. dewy. I’m getting a little older so I have a few wrinkle lines in the corner of my eyes – but nothing too bad .. and I think they’re a little less noticeable now.

Do you use moisturizer or anti wrinkle cream regularly? Has your skin benefited from it’s use?

How do you take care of your skin?

I guess I’ve been fairly lucky to be blessed with good skin. Actually my whole family has nice skin and I guess you could say good genes as far as aging goes, because everyone in my family, from my parents to my brothers and sister all look at least 10 years if not more younger than they actually are.

Oh sure, I had some skin problems when I was a teenager. A little bit of acne and some blackheads but nothing too bad.

I do battle enlarged pores on a constant basis though. If I don’t take care of my skin -well, especially on my nose, I’ll get some blackheads.

Lately I’ve taken to cleaning my face with Noxema. I did that when I was a teen and about a month ago I started using the skin cleanser again.

What I do is get a face cloth and wet it with hot water. I then place the hot cloth over my face to open up the pores. Then I gently massage some Noxema into my skin and rinse it off with a warm cloth. When I’m done cleaning my face I rinse the cloth out in cold water and pat my face with the cold cloth to close my pores.

My skin always feels fresh and tingly clean when I’m done. I like washing my face that way in the morning because it’s invigorating.

At night I usually just wash my face with a mild soap and then use facial creams that are meant for night use.

I guess that since I have Crohn’s and I’m sick quite often it’s at least nice that I have fairly good skin and look younger than I am.

How do you take care of your skin? Have you had problems with acne, blackheads or enlarged pores?

A sign that I’m getting older?

I hate getting older!

Earlier today I was taking a good look at my face. Why, I don’t know … but either way I was standing close to the mirror and taking a good look at my skin and low and behold I think I found an age spot on my left cheek.

Can you even get age spots on your face? Ahhhhh!

Whatever it is, it’s quite faint … maybe it’s a faded freckle? I have fair skin and I tend to freckle in the summer sun, but that’s mostly on my arms and shoulders. Yeah … maybe it’s a freckle. LOL Well whatever it is, now that I know it’s there I guess I’ll keep an eye on it over the next few weeks and see if it gets bigger or darker and then decide what to do about it.

Don’t you hate getting older? Not that I’m that old, but I guess my body is telling me that I’m starting to age a bit.
