[quote=Anonymous]Publicist PP here. To the PP who asked about my age and Retin A use. I'm in my early 30's. I don't use Retin A. What seems like eons ago, I went on a course of Accutane for a terrible case of cystic acne and it not only cleared that up, but it left me with skin I never thought would be possible for me to have.

It might still be the effects of that, it might be the fact that I try to live a relatively stress free life, and that I do live a "treat yo' self" lifestyle more than others can, which obviously helps in alleviating issues like wrinkles and stress showing on my face, but a lot of it can also be attributed to genetics. On both sides of my family, my grandmothers had AMAZING skin. My mom's mom had the most flawless skin I have ever seen and my mom, who just turned 60, also has very few wrinkles / fine lines and I don't believe she uses Retin A either. As a matter of fact, she uses pretty much the exact same product list I shared above, with the addition of a Clarins product or two that she loves.

In addition to the products I mentioned above, I currently do dermaplaning at home (with those Tinkle eyebrow razors) every few weeks to remove peach fuzz so that the products I do use absorb into my skin a little bit better, and I get microdermabrasion about 6 times a year, but my dermatologists haven't suggested Retin A yet. I'll be sure to ask them next time though, since you mentioned it, just to make sure I'm not ignoring something I should be doing!

(I will admit that I get facials regularly, no big deal really, BUT I've done some ridiculously dumb AF things to my face, like allowing one of my dermatologists to give me a "blood facial." Never again. If any of you are curious, if any of you have the urge, please, please, please just don't.)[/quote]
