I get ID'd 90% and I ing love it as I'm older than most people in this thread.
Granted, I do have boyish good looks, but in the UK it stopped around 22, but then I moved to the states and it's been ever since. The moment anyone hears me talk though, they don't need to see ID.
@jenniepye - sorry but you're full of about the beauty regime thing....Lame excuse for not wanting to pony up money. Your reverse stigma is just as bad as those who chase eternal youth.
I totally agree about diet, excercise, water and you certainly don't need ot buy in to all that marketing bull from Creme De La Mar, Sisley, La Prarie, Dermalogica (any of the major international brands actually) but a few preventative things on a daily basis makes a massive difference. And I'm not talking about invasive things like botox, fillers or stupid expensive .
10 years time you'll be saying I don't care about the wrinkles starting to chant "I'm going to age with dignity" and then when you hit 50, you'll be wishing you did more to look after you skin in your youth.
When I see certain school friends they can't believe how young I look although we're the same age. One friend out here is in a major rock/pop band. He's the only one in the band that does the spa/products thing and even though his band mates give him , they're all the same age and he looks a good 7 years younger than them. While they are aging due to that lifestyle, he looks after himself and it's working.
There is a middle ground - It's not about stupid like $300 moisturizes and hair lift masks (lol), just a little bit of money, well spent, looking after yourself goes a long way to keeping you looking good. |

Poney up money for what? You can't chase aging away with expensive beauty products which, by the way, have minimal effects only as long as the person is using them. Beauty products do not erase what time has already done OR reverse it - they are a temporary treatment. Only a ing moron would cash out thousands of dollars over their lifetime for such a ridiculous thing.
Reverse stigma? It's the truth, lol. If you want true "eternal youth", the best way to do it is by taking care of oneself to begin with - prevention, etc.
After reading the rest of your post I see that you somehow missed that I said the exact same thing re: preventative/protective measures, etc. I'm not sure why you interpreted my post to mean that I was saying not to bother at all with taking care of one's skin? |

Firstly, I know what you're getting at in that you can't not look after yourself and suddenly buy a miracle serum years later and reverse the entire process, but its not exactly true. There are some great product remedies out there for everything from sun damage/pigmentation to dehydration to reforming collagen and elastin and they do work to an extent, so yes, something after the fact, is better than nothing at all.

Beauty regimens, what a crock of . I laugh at people who buy into all that . Men and women alike. At 27 a woman should not need anything more than a good diet, adequate sleep and exercise, to protect her skin from the sun, and to drink lots of water.

Which is it? beauty regimes are either a "crock of " or they're not?
Or do you want to clarify what you said by saying preventative skincare is a good idea? (in which case your original sweeping statement is bollocks).
Not keeping your skin moisturized is great for aging your skin faster than is should. Not wearing SPF is even better. These things are proven. As are Hylauronic Acid based serums which are even better at keep moisture in your skin. Certain Peptides have been proven to build collagen and restore elastin, the loss of which is most direct sign of aging in the skin.
Shall I keep going, or is it all just a massive 50 year conspiracy among scientists all over the world (and not even involved in skicare)? |

Like I said in my initial post - adequate sleep and exercise and good nutrition, drinking lots of water, and protecting one's skin from the sun (which obviously means using spf and moisturizing).
It isn't about preventing the inevitable, but taking care of what you already have. What more does a person need for 's sake? The crock of is that people buy into the idea that aging is ugly - an idea perpetuated by the media so that people will continue to consume, consume, consume. So yeah, you're a moron if you spend your life doing more than what I already said. Once you stop using all those expensive products all your wrinkles and sun spots are going to return - so go ahead and keep on buying them! ;)
Why can't people just accept that they are going to age and feel beautiful doing so? That's what aging gracefully is, after all. |

Well, what you meant and what you said are two different things but I'll move on and what you're now saying is bollocks.
you can protect and reverse hyperpigmentation (yes, remove sun spots for good) with things like VitC serums and Niacinamide. The results are permanent. People who have not looked after their skin can diminish wrinkles by using natural resurfacers such as malic acid based exfoliators. Again the results you achieve don't suddenly disappear when the clock strikes midnight.
I agree, the expensive stuff is mainly all bull - you're paying for a celebrity endorsement, but honestly you don't know what you're talking about as there's thousands of great, cheap products that actually give results and are worth every penny, if not more. Trust me, it's not a bad thing to take care of your body the best possible way you can, especially your skin. |
