Looking Younger






My family has good genes. I remember being 10 years old, shopping with my mom, when she was carded for purchasing beer. I thought to myself, "do they think I am her younger sister?" As an adult, when I am out with my mother, we are still sometimes asked if we are sisters. If I am not carded at a restaurant, I am slightly offended. And there is an ongoing competition with my sister to see who is perceived as the youngest.
I wear sunscreen daily. Not only to prevent skin cancer, but to prevent all of my freckles from jumping to the surface of my skin only to make me look too young....In my 30's I decided to start using anti-aging products on my face, neck and decollete (neckline). Enter Olay Regenerist products.
A few weeks ago, I purchased the cleanser, serum and night recovery cream. (I can't part with my favorite day time lotion, Eucerin Everyday Protection Face Lotion with SPF 30). I use the cleanser morning and night, it has little beads that exfoliate the skin without stripping it. My face feels clean but not tight. At night I apply the serum, which really leaves my skin feeling like silk, and then the recovery cream, a purple moisturizer that sinks right it.
Last night I answered the door, with my 7 year old son, to a solicitor who politely asked if our mom or dad was home. Do I credit my genes (thanks mom!) or Olay? All I'm saying is that between my sister and I, I win this round! ;)

  1. I think that I will have to try this stuff also...living down here in the Valley of the Sun is doing some not so great things to my skin and I really need to get a better routine to try to stop and possibly reverse any damage!
