How well do you take care of your skin?

[freak daddy]

I'm a freak about it. I put lotion on everyday, and not that cheap shit. I put lotion on my face twice a day. Especially since I tan once or twice a week. I'm 29 and everyone tells me I still look like I'm in my early twenties.
What precautions does everyone take to take care of their skin?

From the inside out.
Over a gallon of water per day.
Every morning milk thistle on an empty stomach w/ 1 1/2 litre's of water, and juice of one lemon.

Take all anti-oxidants in single tablet form. I don't trust multi-v's.

Spf 45 on face, neck,and chest whenever I tan. I'm in Greece so the sun is still strong right now.

Eat your veggies, no burnt meats, low- sugar consumption, and reduced intake of processed foods. Drink filtered water. I would drink distilled, but can't find any here in greece.

Before bed pop a melatonin. 1 mg.

Relax, don't stress so much.

Oh, a biggie....Take one 1,000 i.u. vit.E gel tab, pop it w/ a pin and squeeze it into your night cream.

I put vit. E in everything. Lotion and even my make-up. Yeah, I wear a little make-up that contain's SPF 25.

Use a non soap face wash...noxema's good.

Funny, I think using thing's like clen and T3 cause you to age alittle quicker..too much free radical production w/ that stuff.

O.k, I'm done.

It's a ritual every morning and every evening.

Face:
creme cleasner (it's like a liquid soap)
astringent pledget
eye cream
face cream
lip lube

Body:
Body creme and foot lotion


@ 31 I am completely wrinkle free with skin like a babies ass.


I gave up sun worshiping and while I miss being tan - I laugh at those with leather skin because they will be ugly as sin at 40.


I drink a gallon of water everyday and with the except of my two weaknesses, cranberry juice and strawberry ice cream, I try to avoid sugar.

When did you stop tanning Velvett?
Every second I'm in the sun I'm freaking about it and telling myself to just stop already..while I'm 22.
My mom is half cherokee indian(BEAUTIFUL,my mommy),She has that olive complexion and is tan year round....so I have some of that in me. Now my father is northern european and is just RED all the time so I don't really know if I'm harming my skin.

I lay out everyday for an hour at 4:00 pm., so I guess it's o.k.
Geez, it's like I'm trying to persuade myself or rationalize w/ myself that tanning is o.k. when I know it's not.

I love the way it looks, that's the plain truth. Vanity.

One more, olive oil. I usually put it in everything.Great for the joints I must say.

Damn,I "talk" too much.

Absolutely nothing! I have naturally good skin from my genes. i do not even own lotion. I use bar soap on my face. I have zero stretch marks and everyone tells me I look young also, even though most of my life has been spent working outside.

You guys are wasting you money.

At 27 I slowed down, 30 I stopped.

I have the same sort of coloring as yourself so even pale I have color. My mother's fair and with freckles - which I have noticed come out right on my cheeks under my eyes when I am in the sun (any time of year).

I'm no expert but my father, olive skinned like your mom and a sun & water lover had been banned to the shade around his 60th b-day.That was a real warning to me because he loves being out there and being banned to the shade really depressed him.

Anywhoooooooo - everything in moderation I suppose.

If I'm outside - I enjoy myself wisely but I don't lay out for hours at a time from 10am-4pm like I used to (yep - those early 20's you couldn't drag me inside.)


Side note: Ana, you're probably drop dead gorgeous with heritage like that.

 

[K2_Exotech]

I use absolutely nothing. I use some regular soap on all of my body. My hair gets pert plus. thats it except for deodorant,toothpaste,mouthwash, and cologne. I use nothing else for personal hygiene.

 

[Ana]

I'm so freakin' paranoid about the sun....But I have to remind myself that I'm not tanning my face ,neck, or chest and that makes me feel alittle better.

I just love being tan.

My heritage does indeed rock. Thanks.

I agree K2, are you a guy too? I use pert plus too, and all the same shit. Lotion and creams etc. are faggy.
