As u can see I turned the big 30 this year. I look around 25 and want to keep it that way. I am a heavy smoker but have been switching between ecigs and will go the ecig route when I find the one. I know quitting smoking will be the best thing for me at this stage in my life....but I do need some other advice on how to fight the aging process, among other things.
I need to find a product/home remedy that will stimulate collagen. I do not have ANY wrinkles which surprises me but I notice my skin will not bounce back after smiling like it once did. As of right now, I am big into home remedies and switch between CASTOR OIL around my eye area and a Vitamin A cream by garnier. I have been using castor oil for sometime, and moisturizing with EVOO, this is my secret. I use alot of home remedies and they have not failed me.
On the darkside, I have always had combo skin. I am dry in some places, have acne in others. My acne has been a lifelong struggle, it disappears but then comes back...I know it is because of the food I eat/smoking. I try to eat as healthy as possible, but I know all of the hormones in dairy, meats, etc have something to do with this. I am going to start working on my diet and would like to try a cleanse. I think this would help immensely, as well as quitting smoking. Unfortunately, due to my acne (and backne) I have alot of hyperpigmentation. I only get a few spots here and there but lets just say I do not like to wear my hair up with a tanktop on. I have been using lemon juice, with results, but the results have not been satisfying me lately and do not happen quickly enough. I have been looking into other options, and would really like to try RED LIGHT THERAPY at a tanning salon. I notice when I tan my acne and backne goes away eventually, but I do not want to tan. I hear red light therapy can help with scars, anti-aging, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. Has anyone ever tried redlight therapy?? Did it work?
If anyone has any home-remedies or a good product, please let me know
On the very dark side, I have always been a very hairy girl. I have accepted it, but I am tired of it. Every time I shave I end up with terrible rashes, nicks, cuts, razor bumps for days and it hurts. Due to this, I have only been able to shave my legs once a week, and thick long hairs grow out in the meantime. I would really love to have laser hair removal but it is unaffordable at the time. I am a perfect canidate. I have been seeing more and more products like the NO!NO! and TRIA and "home laser treatments" coming out. I have heard mixed opinions but I am very interested in purchasing something like this in the meantime. I know the only surefire way is to get real laser or electrolysis, but I will be happy if I do not have to shave and the hair does not grow back as full or for a week or so. I know many of these home lasers trick the user into believing their hair is not growing back, when in fact the hair has just gone dormant, and with regular use there can be a reduction, but it will never be permenant. Has anyone used any home laser hair removal products like the NO NO or tria and would you recommend it to others?
Looking purdy is hard work lol
