Exclamation Dissention - HELP!!!!

LOL....so um....this morning I got ready - washed my face - moisturized - put on my makeup (I wear very little - I like to keep it natural and simple)

Anyway - I got into my car - looked into the mirror and notice this big as wrinkle thing - like the diagonal line things that extend from the nose the corner of the mouth....and in between my eye brows - looked older - well I freaked out....

So um you're like the moisturizer face product guru it seems.....I need advice here......this has me a bit freaked out today......


And anyone else with a good product tip - please chime in...

BTW - I can't do chemical peels or anything that could scar because my skin scars WAY easy - and extreme things like that never completely heal - so I'd look horrible permanently....

I'm not Dissention, but you better start wearing sunscreen every day, if you don't already. In addition to whatever fabulous cream he recommends. Most skin damage is from the sun.

Yeah. That and smoking.

Seriously, I saw that line on my face about a year ago - I was like "where the hell did THAT come from?!?!" I think it's cuz I tend to stress out at work & furrow my brows, creating a permanent wrinkle there.

So I can guarantee you are the only one who sees them. Just keep your stress levels down, get your rest, and the sunscreen and water already mentioned. I just got a good night cream because I am 33 so it is time for me to start bending over for the cosmetics companies! I think that a really good night cream could do wonders since you sleep for like 8 hours so over time that is a long time to have your skin completely protected!

Hmm, try the book "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff". This helped me get perspective on my worries. It is also very simple to read so your harried brain can absorb it!

Right, pets are wonderful for that. Mufasa always brings me right back to the present moment and into a loving frame of mind. I'm so glad you got Clancy.

Your face in the car mirror looks worse than it really is. I know that experience. I look in the mirror on the way to class and see something, but when I look in the bathroom mirror, it is not there. I don't get it.

Run to the nearest store and get any Roc product. I swear by them. They have a new one out that has silicon in it to "fill in" the lines and the skin firmer is fab, too. And they smell great!

If oyu feel like spending a little more cash, get some Serious Skin Care from the Home Shopping Network. That **** works like a charm for any skin problem.

Anyway, I think you should try Vaseline Intensive Care. It's cheap but effective IMO.
