My Rose Colored Glasses are a littel dark!

I am on the hunt for a dark circle eye cream. I have them. Sometimes they look mild, somtimes it looks like I have been punched in the face. I asked my Twitter friends for suggestions and I recieved nods for these products:






They all sound like great products. But I think I am going to pick up the olay this weekend since it can be found at the drugstore and wont cost me a pretty penny since I am just starting out my hunt.

But I did notice this little cream on Sephora's website under their top sellers for eye creams:



It peeked my interest, but I will see what the drug store has to offer first.

On the subject of skin care. I really care about my skin alot. So should you! I uest to use the tanning bed, not alot, but every once in awhile. I also uest to be a sun worshipper. Rarely did I put on sunscreen ( Oh I know, terrible). But that all has changed for me. Never again will I use a tanning bed. Never again will I go without sunscreen and without a hat at the beach or pool! It is just so important. I have realized (being the wise old soul I am :) ) That I really want to age well and that means starting now.

(For all those worried about cutting off the tanning and sun worshiping for fear of looking like Casper, dont fret, I HAD to find something to keep my glow and I have been thoroughly satisfied with Clarins Self Tanning Gel, Loreal Bronze sunless tanner and a Jergins natural glow face moisturizer and body lotion. I have a great summer bronze without the sloppy orange.)

On a normal day here is my face and body care routine:
At night I wash my face with either Philosophy Pure face wash or Philosophy microderm exfoliating wash. I love these washes because my skin is so sensitive and these are very gentle yet do their job.

Next I put my Latisse on. Is a stimulant that activates eyelash growth. This product is amazing! Really I have been using it for about a month and I can already see great results!

I then put on my Aveeno Radiant clear moisturizer mixed in with a little of Jergins natural glow moisturizer (gotta have some color on my face!)I also have been using a retinoid cream which are usually used to treat acne but have been proven to boost collagen which helps fight wrinkles. I slather this on every other night. ( you tend to peel with the retanoid and with my sensitive skin every other night works best.) I then top this all off with a dab of Vaseline. I know it sounds crazy, Vaseline on your face! But honestly... It is an amazing moisturizer and I hear it does amazing things to keep skin young and wrinkle free. Just a dab though! a little goes a LOOOONNNGGG way!!!

In the morning, again, I wash my face with Philosophy Pure face wash, dab on some Aveeno moisturizer and then top it off with sunscreen ( I like Aveeno spf 30 for face) and then I make my face up with my new favorite thing, Bare Minerals Well Rested concealer and Summer Bisque foundation. I LOVE this stuff! It is so light which is essential to me but provides unbelievable coverage!

So there you have it. My little rant on skin care. STOP using the tanning beds and wear sunscreen EVERYDAY even if there is a tornado outside!

Happy aging to you!


*** I also wanted to ad that I take Vitamins,lots of them. Daily I take 2 servings of Juice Plus Vegetables and 2 servings of Juice Plus Fruit. Juice Plus is a daily serving of just plan vegetables and fruits in powder form so that if you don't have time to eat your normal serving, you still get them. I also take a Woman's Multivitamin daily along with 3 fish oils. I recommend everyone take a multi-vitamin. You don't have to go as far as I do but just a one-pill-a-day multi will boost your immune system greatly.

Peace,
