Breast reduction.

Based on all of the responses here, I’m guessing I need to try some tretinoin? I’ve been lucky with genetics, and I’ve really never worried about putting anything on my face except moisturizer. But I’m 53, so maybe it’s time.

Sunscreen, vit c serum, tretinoin, and ILP 2x yearly.

Minimal alcohol, no smoking, exercise (increase collagen production), and maintain healthy weight with minimal fluctuations

No, your BB cream isn’t enough. You need to get a good layer over your whole face a neck and chest (if exposed). You likely aren’t using very much BB cream to provide much protection at all.

Elta MD and Skinceuticals make good ones.

I’m surprised people say sunblock. I use it, but I have no basis for comparison.

How old are you? I'm 64, no crows feet or wrinkles on my face or neck, entirely due to vitamin c serum and sunblock, sunblock, sunblock! If you are young do not be naive, even a good plastic surgeon cannot fix sun damage, spots yes, dry damaged skin, no.

Nope.

My MIL is 76 and looks 96 only because of sun damage. She is otherwise in incredible shape.

My own friends who haven’t been good about sunblock look older than me.

Lasers. Expensive but so much more effective than topicals

Nooo, looks matronly with age.
I know someone (naturally petite) who had gotten a tummy tuck plus breast implants after having kids - at that time (mid 30s) she looked awesome. Now 15 yrs later it looks v weird since her breasts look huge compared to her tiny frame and actually makes her look heavy even though her waist is still small after the tummy tuck.

Yessss, for me at least.

Sunscreen and a yearly dermatologist visit

Upper eyelid surgery, Botox, retin A, vitamin c all worth every penny

Spironolactone for acne.

Mini tummy tuck.

Tell me more about your spray tan booth, please! Cost, maintenance, where you bought, what kind. I spray tan a lot and love the way it makes me look and feel. I love the Norvell booths and pay $60/mo for unlimited tans, so pretty good deal. But a pain to get there sometimes.

I purchased a "tent" on ebay for I think $20, it's a three sided thing I just step into. I bought a spray gun on Amazon (MaxiMist Lite Plus HVLP Spray Tanning System) and use the Norvell Premium Sunless Tanning Solution - Venetian.
I spray my face nearly everyday - lightly, and heavier and the rest of my body when I'm showing legs and arms.
I've gotten good and spraying myself and if we're in swimsuits, my husband sprays my back.
