You are saying that you need anti-age creams at 28 to spite over-30s like myself .

But if you ask me, save your money. Everyone I’ve met told me that I’ve good skin. What’s your secret, BL?

Don’t clean it too much.

I wash my face only when I shower (i.e. maximum once a day haha) and I usually use a light facial scrub and then just rinse it off. No soap. Then I moisturise the skin with a water-base cream.

Reasonably-prized stuff from Nivea, for example, that one could get from Watsons.

Have never spent more than 10 bucks on any cream – except Haagen Daz.

Me:I was 28 3 years ago BL I am going to stick to that as well. No more wasting my money on expensive crap

Am in no position to talk about ageing or whatnot… but hey – 30 is the new teenage!

I am going with that, since Kiran said 50 is the new 30

That, and I’ll put in my two bits in favour of natural products
A scrub with semolina, whole wheat flour(atta) and yoghurt – just grainy enough to feel the semolina – works well for a combination skin on the face. Twice a week.
Apparently water in which eggshells have been soaked is a good skin toner.
There’s LOADS of stuff, ~nm knows a fair bit and the Net is an inexhaustible source of information.
Er… sorry if i sound weird, i’m terribly sleepy but just HAD to comment.

Ohh I didnt know abt semolina..I have heard about Besan and stuff. Good to know, since those are things I always have on hand

I think the answer is to not buy it. I was recently talking to my doctor about my acne problem, its caused by horemone issues, and asked what she thought would be great to help clear it up. She said nothing. To wash my face with warm water a couple times a day if I want. If I really need anything use a very light fragrance free non-antibiotic soap. And she has the clearest skin I’ve ever seen. I know its different than anti-aging creams and what not, but she’s also in her 30′s and looks maybe 27.

Hmm, I wash my face with a cleanser twice day.

Make-up, anti-aging, lotions and all of that are all geared to make people feel as if they need them to look prettier or younger. They promote low self esteem I think. And none of it works because if it did they’d be out of business.

I agree Crissa, they are all part of a huge money making scam.
