[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am 48. I have very good skin. No wrinkles, spots, very faint crows feet (when I laugh). I do not have large pores and I look much-much younger than my age. I have had periods of bad skin (after childbirth) and have used retin-A, to rapidly exfoliate some of the skin. I used it for 10-15 days only. It will mess up yr skin if it is dry, but it does speed up exfoliation. I stopped, because the way the skin was peeling, looked as if I was diseased. I do not use makeup - using a bit of Olay CC cream for parties as it makes my skin look very good. Here is what I do - 1) No smoking, No sun exposure. Showering with tepid water. No baths. 2) No washing face with soap at all. If I need to take any stuff off of my face, I put coconut oil, and wipe with a damp cloth. 3) Put coconut or olive oil all over body and face before I shower. Very limited use of soap on areas that need soap. 4) I put a mixture of 1 part glycerine : 1 part water : 1/4 part lemon juice in a bottle. I put it all over my skin and face after my shower. Let it dry for 5 minutes. This is DA BOMB. If you have to do 1 thing for your skin. This is it. Cover skin with body butter/lotion and face and neck with Oil of Olay with SPF 15 lotion. If you are in a very bad state and want some rapid change in your skin - try these remedies for 3 days. You should see significant changes in your skin. 1) Before bath - Take 1/2 cup milk + 1 teaspoon table salt (I also add a few drops of rose water or vanilla essence). Warm it up a bit in the microwave. Dab generously on your face and entire body. Let it dry some (5 - 10 minutes). Do not talk or smile/laugh when you put any mask or mixture on your face. This is gentle enough to put in your eye area. When mixture has dried a bit, smooth over coconut oil and rub off the milk mixture. Take a shower with tepid water. Wipe down and put the glycerine mixture and moisturizer. Use a good eye cream for your eye area after putting the Glycerine mixture. 2) Take a teaspoon of raw egg white and apply on your face avoiding the eye area. (In the kitchen, when you make eggs for your family, take the egg white that sticks to the egg shell and apply over your face, avoiding around the eye. I do this everyday) Rinse and pat dry. Moisturize with the glycerine mixture. Use eye cream and moisturizer. This makes your skin shiny and bright - just brimming with good health. Maybe do this once at night and once in the morning. Do this for 2-3 days and let us know if this has made any difference? Lemon juice has vit c and milk provides lactic acid. They are as good as anything expensive in the market. I only use glycerine soap on my body, and very little of it. And shower with tepid water. I also always use different towels for my hair and skin and face. All the other inputs about sleep, multi vitamins, good fats, hydration, avoiding soda etc is spot on as well. Try this remedy for 3 days. Let us know if it worked for you. [/quote] Wow, thanks for posting this. Do you wash your face at night (with coconut oil)?[/quote]
