[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OMG!  LOTS and LOTS of maintainence.

Older woman (50+), limited budget and time.  I have week6end maintainence and daily maintainence routine.  My husband and kids appreciate how I look and if I don't do all this  then after a few months I can start looking very rough.  I spend around 40 minutes daily and around an hour weekly.  Weekly routines and nighttime routines are the best. Health and Beauty both become important when you are older (after 35 years).  It becomes difficult to bounce back in health and looks as you age.  Maintain a regular healthy weight for most of your life.  Do not yo-yo for more than 2 pounds and your face and body will not sag for a long time. All celebs who have continued to look great in their old age have maintained their weight.

Weekly -

HAIR -   Color my hair at home every 3 weeks.  I buy online the organic brand of haircolor sold at Whole Foods at  40% of the price.   Haircut every 3 week. Once a week hair mask or dandruff treatment.

NAILS - Short and shaped at home.  I use a metallic color to give a well groomed look.  I refresh my nailpolish every week.

PEDIS and MANIS -  I use the 1 minute scrub from BB&B for hands.  Baby Foot treatment once every 3-4 months.

BODY HAIR -  I got my upper lip hair lasered.  I hardly need to do any maintainence.  Home Brazillian (I got addicted to taking everything off) using Gigi Hard Wax.  I also wax through Winter - especially my underarms.  I will Nair or shave my legs and arms daily or as needed.   Facial hair and neck bleached at home.  One facial a week at home.

TEETH - Straight teeth, I do a 3 minute bleach treatment.

Daily -

BODY - Prebath coconut oil application on body. Wash with Glycerin soap.  Body cream with extra glycerin and water (equal parts glycerine and water) added to the cream + Tendskin + grapeseed oil.

Hair - Prebath Coconut oil application on scalp.  Loreal shampoo + Moroccan oil.  Style hair every day.

FACE - Serum, moisturizer with sun-screen, retin-a, Primer, StriVectine for neck, face and eyes. Very light make-up - everyday. I have an unlined face and very youthful face and skin.

TEETH - Twice brushing, daily waterpick with hydrogen peroxide or listerine mouthwash, tongue cleaning twice a day.  Many people have nasty breath or bad teeth.  Going to the dentist regularly is the biggest thing you can do for your face and your facial structure.

MAKEUP - Eyeliner, mascara, eyebrow filler and lipstick every day.

EYES - Eye exercise every day. Lutein and Latisse.  Still not wearing reading glasses.

Clothes that work for me, good shoes that are stylish and comfortable in neutral colors, (ditto with the handbags) and earrings.  Layered perfume.  Always invest in excellent quality eyeglasses.

Supplements? Hooooo ...this is a long list ...here goes...  Iron during periods (still having my periods like clockwork), D3 (5000 mg),  B-12, Lutein, Magnesium (Ionic liguid), COQ10,  Iodine (2-3 drops occasionally), Cranberry extract,  multi-vitamin, calcium (occasional), amino acids, quick dissolve aspirin (once in a while), Ashwagandha, Triphala, Gugul, Ashoka, Brahmi and Shatavari.

LOTS of probiotics yogurt and kombucha everyday, lots of fiber. Turmeric and honey. Avoid cola and junk. Green tea, lemon balm tea, fennel and ginger tea.  Lots of fluids. Maintain liver, thyroid health, maintain blood sugar.  When you are ill, you will age rapidly on your face and neck.  RAPIDLY after 35 years of age and you will not spring back so easily.  I do not eat after 6 pm most days.

Yoga, breathing exercise and walking with weights.  [/quote]

Wow.  That list is ver impressive. I congratulate you on your discipline. The Latisse is for eyelashes though right? How much lite in for eye health?[/quote]
