French Mama's actually bring up their daughters, to care for their skin, from a young age. And they always do nightly 'cleaning' etc. I read a lot of French books, and did the nightly cleansing for awhile. Then reverted to my non-French ways...<br /><br />But first, I have never sun bathed. And my skin is amazing, for a 78 year old woman! It is! I can see it. Compared to others, my age and younger. Plus people say so. <br /><br />For years and years, I have used Oil of Olay moisturizer with sun screen, daily. 365 days a year. <br /><br />So I give credit for my mostly unlined face (at 78!) to my mother and her lovely skin... And to my avoiding the sun, at all costs. And to my Oil of Olay moisturizer.<br /><br />Just sayin'.....<br /><br />TessaTessa~ Here there be musinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13661988938395877761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2514949068618443114.post-84864695300281513362015-05-29T07:44:37.730-07:002015-05-29T07:44:37.730-07:00wow!

I ...If you haven't hit menopause....just wait! I never had skin issues until I hit menopause. My skin dried out horribly. I have to rotate moisturizers every few months because they stop working. I do wash my face at night with Cetaphil and use a night moisturizer and of course, use an exfoliating scrub on it in the shower every morning. The only constant is the Cetaphil. Everything else gets rotated regularly....grrrrrr...so frustrating!

If one eats healthy and drinks a lot of water, you're more likely to have pretty skin. My son just went through a bad acne period and he admitted he had been eating a lot of junk.

I ...I enjoyed reading about your skin care routine! I wash my face in the shower and bath every morning with Dr Bronner's organic lavender soap (and my body, too). Then I use a daily moisturizer (Neutrogena) with sunscreen in it for my face. At night, I simply use witch hazel to take off my makeup. I then use a little bit of organic coconut oil for my nightly moisturizer. I am almost 53 and have no wrinkles except some around my eyes, no age spots, and only get the rare zit. I am so glad to know about Thayer's witch hazel...I will be ordering that from amazon. I was using witch hazel with alcohol in it because I didn't know there was a kind without it!

I use Dove soap to wash my face and Ponds dry skin cream. My daughter is always trying something new. My mom did the baby oil thing back in the 60s. I have fair skin and man! When I was a kid, we would go to the beaches in So Cal and I would get so fried and my mom would put Noxema on me. Very surprised I don't have skin cancer.

I did use Clinique for about 10 years. Loved how creamy and rich it was and how soft my skin felt. Both my mother and grandmother (her mother) swear on Pond's and still use it to this day! I've been wanting to try the Origins, charcoal, since arriving at my 40s my skin has had some serious changes, and have heard some great things about it! I am going to check that out! The funny thing is, when I cook with olive oil, I take a very small amount on my pinky and swipe under my eye!<br />You make me homesick when you mention California!

Then I apply Oil of Olay Age Defying Night Cream, mostly under my eyes, but a little bit all over my face. I put this on both in the morning after my shower and also at night just before bed. I am 61 and my face is very wrinkle free, even after decades of living in the Arizona sunshine. BUT, I think a lot of that is simply genetics since my parents didn't wrinkle badly as they aged either. *knock on wood* I don't drink a lot of water... not nearly enough, but I know I should since it helps to keep the skin a bit plumper.
