Sephora

Gorgeous @Cissy63 ! Intense lip colors suit you so beautifully! 😍😍😍

Apparently Sephora no longer carries Perricone MD products (which stinks as they are top-notch for anti-aging), but Perricone has a Cold Plasma+ Hand Cream which targets dryness, spots, and thinning skin. It's also half price right now at Ulta, so stock up!!

@Jabur Hi! I've really been enjoying my glowy sunkissed summer combo (the cream bronzer is soft and radiant and the setting spray is light but still feels great on the skin): Tower 28 Beauty Bronzino Illuminating Cream Bronzer Sun Coast Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray 3.3 oz / 100 ml Recently, I tested these products (with the addition of the MILK MAKEUP Mini Hydro Grip Hydrating Makeup Primer 0.33 oz/ 10 mL ) at a resort where I was in and out of pools, hot tubs, steam rooms, and saunas for the whole day and my makeup lasted strong for the entire day with zero problems 💪

Peptides and amino acids and bakuchiol are all well and good, but there is just no substitute for prescription strength retinoids. Tretinoin is the generic name of Retin-A and can be prescribed at a strength gentle enough for sensitive skin that still gives clinically proven results. You can go the traditional route of getting a dermatologist and filling the prescription, or you can use a telemedicine service and pay a monthly fee for a custom-made blend of prescription ingredients and unlimited adjustments and consultations. I use Curology and can ask as many questions as I want and receive automatic shipments of my custom cream for $20/month. Having paid out of pocket for the same prescription ingredients in the past, and knowing that health insurance only pays for one dermatologist appointment per year, I can tell you that this is a terrific deal. I don't work for Curology and there are other companies that provide the same service but I haven't tried any others so can't vouch for them. Your commitment to hydration will serve you well if you start using tretinoin as it can cause peeling (I use my prescription cream three to four nights per week and pack on other stuff on my off nights to keep my peeling down. It will serve you well regardless, because yay, hydration!! As I've gotten older, I've used more firming methods to keep the battle going. Perricone's High Potency Classics Face Finishing & Firming Cream is a FANTASTIC day cream to use when you're seeing those first signs of sag. I haven't tried Perricone's Cold Plasma line because $$$$ and I'm saving that for when I feel I need it. I'm currently 48, for reference. Last winter I turned a corner and thought I was my Dad in the bathroom mirror, so I bought a NUFace Mini during the Black Friday sale on the brand site. My only regret is not doing a bit more research because I would have gotten the Foreo minibear instead for the two year warranty (NUFace has some quality control issues but so far so good with mine). When you are ready, these work shockingly well! If I had the money (I was out of work at the time) I would recommend getting a few professional radio frequency treatments to start off, just because using it five plus nights a week for two months was challenging. But without question this firmed and lifted my skin and turned back the clock probably ten years in terms of firmness. My cheeks are back where they're supposed to be. Basically, Retin-A is a basic must for anti-aging, the rest you can add in as needed. It looks like you're at the prevention stage, which is great! Just know that there are more options as you age and need more help, but they are for treating sag when you have it, so they won't really help until then.

Yay @Mochapj 😃. I’m happy that you pick up Warm Pink too. 👍

I have been using Olaplex products for over a year now. I have always had a negative ANA however, one very smart Rheumatologist did a more advanced test on me because I started losing clumps of hair before I ever tried Olaplex. One simple but expensive blood test, a “Double-Stranded Anti-DNA Antibodies” came back positive for Lupus. It is the gold standard test for systemic Lupus. Miy titres were sky high so after I was properly treated for Alopecia caused by Lupus, the hair stopped thinning. Just wanted to share that with you in case you notice other symptoms of Lupus, such as fatigue. Good luck either way!!! Be blessed!

😃😃😃😃😃 I am so jealous too @SportyGirly125 !!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
