Some Vanity
Oct. 13th, 2013 01:12 pmAm I the only one who sometimes looks in the mirror and thinks "My god! My neck! You can get wrinkles there?" If this is shallow and vain to you, look away now! For the rest of us...
So, this winter I am breaking down and researching and buying some non-supermarket brand skin care. I started with this starter kit by Peter Thomas Roth and I already love it:
It hasn't been long enough yet to see any visible difference, but I love how it makes my face feel.
I'm not a big make up person and usually only use it lightly for special events, especially to cover up dark under-eyes or even skin tone, but I also finally broke down and bought a primer (like the Roth stuff, it also has glycolic and salicylic acids, good for aging skin):
I already had fairly good luck with this spot reducer (not a huge difference, but way better than the fancy Clinique one):
One thing I've noticed is that even though I like Sephora a lot, they have awful reviews for anti-aging products. Most of the reviewers focus on acne, which, honestly is not the reason I'm buying anti-aging products, you know? This is understandable - I'm sure most of their clientele is younger - and I'm sure this will change over time. In the meantime, I'll be sure to add my reviews to help ladies like myself.
If you made it this far, here's a picture of Oink:
