Is it possible to age gracefully? Or do we just accept every wrinkle, line or dark spot nature flings our way? Do you  fight it or ignore it?

And just what exactly is aging gracefully? I think it means different things to different women. For some of us it means full on acceptance because we are all meant to grow old. And for others it means fighting tooth and nail to still look 30 something.

For me, I look at two facts. I’m going to get older as long as I keep living. And with that comes the usual (dreaded by most) signs of aging.

So do I want to try to look a decade or so younger than I am? Or do I want to just let it flow, let go and look old?

No, I so totally don’t. Neither of those choices are at all acceptable to me. So there must be  a ‘gray area’ between the two. And that is where I find the answer to my own question. Read the rest of this entry »

Anti-aging skin care for the neck. Yes, your neck. And your decolletage (that area between your collar bones and the top of your breasts). Ever think about it? Or do you just zoom in with that magnifying mirror on every little line on your face? By the way, both my dermatologist and I recommend that you lose that magnifying mirror. I used to stare into one myself. So every single imperfection became larger than life. No one, I repeat, no one, sees what you see when using a 4x or 5x magnifying mirror. So stop torturing yourself. If you must use one for the application of eye makeup, OK. But stick to the eye makeup and move on.

Back to the neck. Yes it ages just like your face does. As we age we lose the nice layer of subcutaneous fat (baby fat, so it’s sometimes called). Our faces and neck are the one area we don’t really want to lose fat, now is it? Because the fat in that area is what can keep your skin looking plump and youthful. Sadly, without it the skin sags. Around the eyes, cheeks and the neck.

So have you been ignoring your neck and decolletage when performing your morning and evening anti-aging regimen? Yes, you have? Time to start paying attention to that area. Read the rest of this entry »

Ever go to a spa for a facial and end up confused as to what may or may not be best for your skin? Many spas are offering long menus these days full of exotic treatments. What’s a gimmick and what isn’t may be very difficult for the average gal to figure out!

I found this great little article on WebMD. This should help you a bit when navigating that spa menu. And guess what? They do mention my personal favorite. Galvanic!

I will have a post up shortly going into more detail on that. It happens to be one of the best ways to get those cell communicating ingredients deep into the skin while stimulating collagen production and smoothing wrinkles, sags and bags!

Anyway, like I said, more on that later! For now, enjoy this article. Read the rest of this entry »
