Before and after aprox 5 weeks.
I never imagined I would ever be into skin care, but I was never 51 years old before, u know? So here we are.. it.s all about the health of not just the muscles and body, like I've been about since 2001, but it's also about having healthy skin and yes, if i can choose to look my age or significantly younger.. well,, bring on the lotions and potions! :P
As I look at my before and after pics, I can see a marked difference in the overall smoothness of my skin. I was mostly concerned with the bags under my eyes, so im glad that has softened up a bit. Also, the color of the skin seems another shade or two whiter. Ok, I'll take that. I guess the before pic showed my face with many pits or big poors (lookin like the surface of the moon) and mostly the skin care routine I've been doing seems to have filled those pits and it just looks better IMO. :)
To clean my face before I apply anything, all I been doing is to splash water on my face and try to wipe away any dirt and junk that might be on my face. Then, depending on what day of the week it is, I apply some kind of thing.
The next step which I will do at the start of the week is to do a face peel. That is I apply this glycolic acid (10% strength) which burns a tad bit and I assume it eats away at that dead skin to try and reveal the new, fresh skin below the current surface skin.
face peel which is done only once a week.
Ok, now for the step that is done daily.. 10 minutes after the face peel goes on, or just after drying my face from the washing with water. If I am going out during the day, I have a moisterizing lotion with SPF 30, which it is important to protect the skin from sun damage. If not going out, I apply this lotion with Green Tea that is very cool, and refreshing on my skin.
Oh, I forgot to show u all this big tip that could save u some bucks.. For skin tightening, try just a small bit of baking soda mixed with water. (go for a thick, toothpaste like consistency.. and I use a gatorade cap to mix em in) and just apply that where u want to see tightening happen. The baking soda mix can stay on the skin and it cools and fights inflimation. I like to use this 2-3 days a week when I remember to do it, and this one is good to leave on overnight too.
