Question for you lovely ladies out there

[Ramathorn]

A buddy of mine would like to know if those "night firming" creams and clay masks actually work? And, do the more expensive ones work better?

 

[S.A.Diva]

Masks actually work...and so does exfoliation and microdermabrasion...

Expensive ones do not necessarily work better...

 

[Ramathorn]

thx

 

[vtaenz]

I like how you prefaced that with "a buddy of mine."

 

[NativeTXchic]

Yes... they both do.

 

[iLoVeLoNgHoRnS]

I use Mary Kay instead of generic face stuff, because it works better (for me, at least. Everybody's skin type is different)

I'm not yet to the firming cream stage, so I can't comment on that.

You want some cranberry juice too?

According to Oprah last week

, antioxidants and sunblock are really all you need. Anything with vitamins A,C and E help. I don't know. We don't age much in my family. I'm in my mid 30's but my skin doesn't look it.

 

[S.A.Diva]

I have used beaucoups of products...night creams, firming blah, blah, blah...etc...some expensice and some not...

Bottom line is: hydration, vitamins and antioxidants...

I am in my early 40's and don't look it....part of that is genetics and the other part is that I actually take care of my skin...

Started using MaryKay recently after having used: Prescriptives, Lancome, Chanel, La Mer...and I am actually noticing that my skin looks smoother...go figure...

The best product on the market is Kinerase...best stuff I have EVER used...but VERY expensive...fabulous stuff though...

In the morning if my face is a little puffy I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.

How do you have that much time in the morning? 1000 stomach crunches followed by all that?

 

[TenaciousTgarden]

[Ramathorn]

yuppieprick, so aptly named.




This wasn't for me, face creams aren't my bag baby.





Tgarden, who is gay? My buddy or Yuppie Prick?

 

[l00p]

You can use organic tea bags for your buddy's face. Chamomile?

 

[bluto]

WTF?

 

[Mitch Cumsteen]

There's an overnight product called Skincerity sold in dermatology offices in Houston that's pretty awesome for hydration and vitamin e.

 

[si se puede]

You guys are lame.

Yep - YuppiePrick totally out kicked his coverage on that reply. Obviously American Psycho isn't on everyone's viewing list

 

[HornGrandioso]

Let's turn this into an american psycho only thread. The original question has been answered.

Is that bone?

No, it's meat.

You're not exactly blonde, are you?

 

[Homesickhorn]

Oh my God, it even has a watermark.

 

[Ramathorn]

I believe that's eggshell.

 

[YuppiePrick]

Feed me a kitten.

 

[UTGal]

Don't just look at it...eat it.

 

[MaduroUTMB]

I like to disect girls. Did you know I'm utterly insane?

 

[WTFHORNFAN]

There is a moment of sheer panic when I realize that Paul's apartment overlooks the park... and is obviously more expensive than mine.
