 I have a question to put out there... if you could change one thing about your appearance (facial), not involving a procedure or treatment, what would it be? All input is appreciated! Thank you! Amy |

I don't quite understand your question Amy...how can someones appearance be changed without any treatments or procedures?
The one thing I would like to change is to have a nice even, glowing complexion so I could forgo all the makeup and concealer, but I would have to do treatments or procedures to get that wouldn't I? |

Hi Amy - With winter kicking in, I dread how dry my skin usually gets. Even though I use relatively oily sunscreen (currently Bioderma MAX Creme SPF50+), as winter progresses, my skin looks dryer and dryer.
I'd like something I can layer during the day, along with Vit.C serum (SkinCeuticals CE+Ferulic), 4% amine DMAE serun (skincarecentral), and the sunscreen. These are musts in my daytime regimen. And I'd prefer a product that's suitable for both face and eyes -- my bathroom is getting more and more cluttered the longer I'm a member of this forum! But that's not an absolute preference -- what's two more products (one for face and one for eyes) among dozens???
I'm kind of out of the loop when it comes to daytime moisturizers -- since I've been using oilier SS, I haven't bothered with any. But by the end of winter, even the SS hasn't done enough to prevent my skin from looking parched. The Vit.E in CE+Ferulic helps somewhat, but evidently not enough.
BTW, I'm 54 and use Avene Retrinal a couple of nights a week, and IS Clinical Firming Complex a couple of other nights a week. And Caudalie Radiance Serum in between. I also use PSF Pumpkin Enzyme Peel once a week. I have some Decleor Vitaroma Totale for Face that I use around my eyes occasionally at night. As it gets colder and dryer, I'm thinking of using the Decleor all over my face a couple of nights a week, but fear that it could be occlusive.
I don't want to end up looking greasy during the day, just more moist! |

I want thicker hair. That is all.  Does that count, since it's on my head, attached to my face?  |

My under eye area. Puffy, bag, fine lines, and bumpy, oh, oh,.... how can I forget this one - dark circle!!!  If I can only correct one problem then it will be bags. |

| Without a doubt, if I could change one thing it would be clogged pores/acne/acne scars. (They're related to they count as one thing ) |

I have to agree with marci65, I WANT thicker hair!
No, I am not finished. I would love to have a complexion that did not require foundation make up. I have a red look to my face and neck no matter what foundation I use.
I dread the question I am always asked "have you been in a tanning bed today" I do not do tanning beds or sun bathing anymore. I am 52 and I only wish I would have (known) to take better care of my skin when I was young.
I guess I never thought I was going to be older! Ha Ha! |

this may not count because I am considering a 'procedure', but I would like the chin augmentation for a more square like jawline.
Also thicker hair !!!! |

I second this! I need to add though: a simplified routine to achieve my non-acne face! |

I'd like to rid once and for all the faint melasma that I have on my cheeks. It appeared around my 40th birthday and has been stubborn ever since. Cosmelan2 helped a great deal, but I'm tired of using harsh products. Something gentle, yet effective, yeah, that's the ticket!

count me in in this one too -- definitely number one! (if this ever happens then i'm sure i'd obsess about the eveness of skin tone.)
the baggy, puffy eyes are hereditary so i'm doubting anything topical will ever fix this. sigh 
and, thank you, everybody who said thicker hair and high cheekbones. at least i know i have *something* that people want |

that every stray hair that shouldn't be on my facial area just dissapeared to NEVER return.
Thicker head hair would be a god send
More even and less bushy eyebrows would be fantastic too... |

| The only physical thing about myself that I've ever wanted to alter a bit is my well-defined, medium-sized lips. I'd like them to be a tad fuller. |
