NBR - Go away wrinkles!!

[junch817]

Ok ladies - recommend your favorite eye cream/anti wrinkle stuff. I swear since turning 30 only 2 months ago, the skin under my eyes turned 50. I have all these wrinkles under my eyes that never used to be there Help me!!!!

I swear by the Oil of Olay reginerist line.

pbubblegum - you shush up!!!!

I wouldn't start any new skin care regimens right now honestly, other than a basic lotion perhaps. There are so many chemicals in many of the face products I normally use, that I've felt better "going green" both pregnancies.

Sunscreen, sleep, lots of water, ROC eye cream. Right now, since I've been pregnant, I've been using organic Argan oil on my face and neck at night. I'm loving it!

Ditto what txngrl31 said about sunscreen, sleep, and staying hydrated.

Also, Extra Virgin Coconut Oil.

I don't have personal experience that it helps with wrinkles, but since getting pregnant I've been using coconut Oil as a cleanser, moisturizer, and lotion, and it has really helped clear my breakouts and dry skin that pregnancy was causing. And I use it on my belly twice a day, hoping that it will help keep away stretch marks (I know it's hereditary but I've read sooo many reviews from people who used it during pregnancy and didn't get stretch marks so I'm sticking with it). And there are tons of other uses for coconut oil, here's a quick little write up about it on livestrong.com.

I've been using a prescription treatment called Differin which is a retinoid, similar to Retin-A Micro, that prevents aging and also reduces wrinkles. You have to get it through your dermatologist and you can't use it while you're pregnant but it's one of the best out there.

Ditto on the Retinoids when you are no longer pregnant, breastfeeding, or TTC. I used to use Retin-A for breakouts and it really helped keep my skin smooth and even my pores look smaller (although I tried Differin Gel at one point and it was too harsh on my skin). My mom also asked her doctor about what to do for wrinkles a while back and she gave her samples of a cream with Retinoids in it.

Differin gel is super harsh. My dermatologist had me using it nightly about three months before my wedding and my skin was a wreck which scared me away for a while. I went back on the cream version a year later and only used it 2 nights a week and it was great. 

My dermatologist did mention that insurance doesnt like to cover it if it's only being used for anti-aging purposes so they'll prescribe it for acne. 

Yep, that's what they told my mom too and why they just gave her samples.

Botox!
But seriously, I always thought wrinkle cream was a myth and there's nothing you can do to prevent it.

I can't wait to get Botox as soon as this little guy gets here. I usually get it in the fall and missed getting jacked up after I found out I was pregnant. Way overdue for wrinkle relief.

[tatersalad]

pbubblegum I don't think it hurts at all. I'm obviously not afraid of needles either. I had a resting wrinkle in my globellar area when I was 25 (thinking face or resting bitchy face, whichever you prefer) and started getting Botox then because it was free at a medical day spa where I worked part time. It's great for preventing wrinkles and solved my resting wrinkle problem outside of this pregnancy. If you have a low pain tolerance or fear of needles they can numb you up beforehand.

Also avoid wiping the skin under your eyes outwards. It really stretches it. Always run your fingers under your eyes from the outside in, or pat the skin rather than rubbing it. Won't fix what's there but will avoid it getting worse so fast.
+1 for hydration too, although I feel like I can never get enough water at the moment, always thirsty!

I absolutely love Argan oil!! I swear by it too. My stretch marks from previous two have faded soooo much since I started using it! And I have yet to find a new one. I love that stuff!! I also put a little in my hair to make it soft and keep static electricity away. I love that it's not greasy and doesn't leave my hair feeling oily!

I'm so happy to hear that you are a fellow Argan oil lover. It's an amazing product!! I started using it when I found out I was pregnancy, instead of my usual ROC night products. It has done amazing things on my face, neck and even hands.

Where do you buy Argan oil? I thought all the rage now was coconut oil? I'm clueless about skincare.

I have Pura d'or- bought it off Amazon for $20 or $25. I bought a bottle after reading how it has kept women in Morocco from aging and just having general healthier hair, skin and nails.

Moisturizer. Sunscreen. Moisturizer with sunscreen. I'm a total snob in everything I buy except skin care and makeup. I wash my face with the same Oil of Olay body wash that I use in the shower, I use Oil of Olay moisturizer on my face, neck, and hands every single day, and I am careful about staying out of the sun, wearing hats, etc. I'm 36 with zero wrinkles.

[leenziepops]

Rose hip oil.

My friend is obsessed with jenusse products. She was a Botox girl but is using this instead and she has never looked better! She is about 42 so a little more advanced in the aging department than I am, and hates wrinkles so I've heard lots about it LOL
