Paging our favorite Canuk Gal Sharon - how does your skin lo

[Rosebloom]

Sharon,

As I said in your pearl collection thread, you have the most gorgeous skin! Far smoother and glow-y-er than mine and I'm 35. You have a teenage son so I'm guessing you're at least a little older than that.

So, please, would you be so kind as to share your secrets? Is it just great genes? Or do you have awesome products? Or a great dermatologist? I would be oh so grateful for any tips!

For those who want to see what I'm talking about...

I should be so lucky!

Rose

HI:

Rose, you flatter me! But let this thread not be about me, but for those to share their specific "secrets" for good skin and skin care regimens in general. I have freckles on my skin from sunning myself--an absolute nono but it is my one vise.

I am fortunate that my Mother has "nary a crease" as you put it, although my Dad did. Lucky for me I take after her. So no wrinkles (yet) and yes, I have seen my 35th BD a few times!!! I have combo skin.

I have never smoked, and believe I eat a balanced diet...lots of water, minimal caffeine, fruits and veggies, almonds and walnuts, and good quality protein. I don't eat pasta or much candy or chips, cuz I don't care for it, but love carbs in red wine! I take Omega Three Oils daily (wild fish source). I exercise regularily. I see my Dermatologist once or twice a year and he checks my freckles and moles.

Skin care rituals--I am a potion hound. I use everything and anything, and mix it up. I have been using antiaging serums/cremes and anti aging exfoliators for at least 10 years and I believe it makes a difference. Estee lauder, Lancome, Nuxe, NeoStrata, Vichy, Sisley...you name it. I like this thick creme called "Impruv" for my body and slather it on my face when I feel "dry". I use VIchy or LaRoche Posey for skin protection from the sun--highest SPF.

I moisturize twice a day without fail. I like thick cremes. I use Vit C in the little pellets (NeoStrata) every AM after I shower. Then an eye serum, then moisturizer. Depending on the season either I use a tinted moisutuzer or a foundation. Many of those products are antiaging. I recently got a sample of the new ReNutriv from EL (silver jar) and really liked the product....I plan on buying it.

I really like the Vichy gentle makeup remover, it is gentle and doesn't burn and no eye scrubbing allowed!

My sisters really don't have wrinkles either, and my one sister swears by coconut oil--on her hair & skin, in cooking.....she had a scar from radiation (breast cancer at a young age) and the coconut oil decreased the redness/appearance.

But enough about me.......

What do ya'll do, so keep that glow in your skin and health???? Share your "tips" here!

cheers--Sharon

This is fantastic. I'm making a long shopping list and over the holiday break I'm going to buy a bunch of new goodies to try! Such fun!

And your lifestyle I'm sure greatly helps too. I'm a nutrition nut but could definitely cut down on sugar and increase my exercise. Sounds like I've got my New Year's resolutions!

Thank you so so much!!
