What do y'all do to take care of your face (middle age thread)

[pink]

Jokes welcome.



The last few months I've started shaving my face, once or twice a week, to slough off old skin.

I've also been moisturizing once a day with a dark skin correcting creme. I've got some age spots on my cheeks. Most don't see them. I do.

My skin is acne prone so I can't use a ton of moisturizing lotions or wash with most soaps. I'll look like a pizza face.

You?

Nothing, unless you consider avoiding face plants...

 

[silver gurl]

Nothing sometimes some coconut oil.

 

[jaF0]

I don't bother it.

It don't bother me.

Ohhhhhhhh I know something of this.

Are we the same age? 53 here.

 

[pink]

It don't bother me.

I'm kinda vain.

Soap is damaging to your skin. It' basically lye, animal fat and chemicals. It will dry your skin out and result in oilier skin. I use a non scented glycerin soap and some aloe gel. Glycolic acid used a few times a week makes for a nice toner and helps remove and replenish skin. A diet rich in fruit and veggies I find beneficial as well. Oh, and water but I don't drink nearly enough of it.
On the bright side oily skin will not wrinkle as quickly or as much as dry skin.

 

[Mal_Huevo]

I feed it.

There are some really good ones out there. I've got some fine lines that I fight with.

Enjoy those 3 years. Trust me on this.

I use plain white Dove soap but I have to be careful to rinse it all off. I have to be careful with anything that has oil in it, including make up. Pizza face.

My dad had very oily skin and I have inherited it, although, it's not as bad as he had.

I drink the crap out of water, Drs orders. I just drank so much, I feel kinda sick.

Yes! I also am careful in the sun now and don't do a lot of makeup anymore.

I miss the old school Noxzema in the glass jar! Old school.

I remember Noxzema.

I can't wear a lot of makeup anymore, either. I used to look so nice with make up on. Now, I look like a prostitute.

My av is no make up except for lip stick.

Yes and it makes my fine lines stand out!

 

[RobDownSouth]

I shave my head so I apply coconut oil as a moisturizer afterwards to give it a shine.

Same. Avoid sun and I rarely, if ever, use makeup unless burt's bees tinted lip balm is considered makeup.
Coconut oil is a great moisturizer, argan oil, too. A little coconut oil on your teeth is nice, makes them shiny and is an antibacterial agent.

It twenty something years, I'll be bitching about wrinkles.

AM routine:

3) Apply moisturizer

[OldJourno]

What do I do? Not enough,apparently. My grandsons tell me I've got a turkey neck.
If I do, you can't tell from looking in the mirror.

 

[girlsmiley]

I close my eyes, stick my tongue out and hop on one leg.

 

[Rightguide]

I shave it and splash on some after shave.

 

[Conager]

I exercise fork control so as to minimize face-washing effort. I wash it in the shower with a generic, fragrance-free moisturizing soap that I think is supposed to be Dove that I get from CVS, then shave it, blind, still in the shower (along with the rest of my head) then put a dime-sized dollop of Nivea for Men Cooling Post Shave Balm in my palm, rub my hands together then coat my entire face and scalp.
