[quote=Anonymous]I have been studying my peers (ages ~ 45-60 yo) to get ideas for this exact same question.

In addition to agreeing with most PPs,  I would add "do whatever is nece$$ary to achieve excellent $kin" if you are 45 and older (and white -- we don't need to revisit the 'black don't crack' thread from a few months ago.)

After observing well-heeled white-ish women in their late 40s+, and discussing with my own dermatologist, I am convinced that these women's skin is the result of MEDICAL and quasi-medical interventions and maintenance -- and not some pablum about "sunscreen in your 20s."  I mean, yes we should all seek to avoid skin cancer, but these women are *also* all getting Fraxel / IPL lasers every few months; using tubes of $120 prescription cream like obagi and triluma; using Latisse; getting a tiny tasteful bit of Botox every few months; skin peels; restalyne in the "parentheses". Laser hair removal on the chin and cheeks.

Note I am not talking about plastic surgery, intentionally.

So anyway, I notice that many of the middle aged women who ALSO possess all the traits described by PPs (hair, tailored flattering pants, etc) always have fresh dewy pink skin with no splotches and blemishes or fuzz.  For most of us, that doesn't come easily by slapping on neutrogena stuff from cvs -- at least once you're looking at 50 (and white, needs to be said again.)[/quote]
